I have two table Images and Category in SQL Database. The Images images contains imageorder column which right now contains random order, so I wanted to do is re-arrange that order starting from 1 and so on but it should be category wise.
For example, Category table contains Twowheeler and Fourwheeler categories and Images table contains 10 rows out of 4 rows for Twowheeler and 6 rows for Fourwheeler.
SO, imageorder column should update like 1,2,3,4 for Twowheeler and 1,2,3,4,5,6 for Fourwheeler.
It should be something like this:
WITH DataSource AS
(
SELECT *
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY categoryid ORDER BY imageOrder) rowID
FROM Images
)
UPDATE IMages
SET ImageOrder = DS.rowID
FROM Images I
INNER JOIN DataSoruce DS
ON I.ImageId = DS.ImageID;
The idea is to use ROW_NUMBER to order the images. We are using PARTITION BY because we want to reset the order for each category. Also, we need to use a Common Table Expression to store this data and then to use it in the INNER JOIN statement - we are not allowed to use ROW_NUNMBER function directly in UPDATE statement.

I need to join a table on itself so need the row number. Is there a way to do it using arrays? I would prefer to do it without using windows functions.
The source data is column Order and Part. I want to calculate Column "Part Updated"
Pasting an updated table.
Thanks,
R
I am trying to display the previous row value of Part column in Part Updated column.
Self join is not necessary. It could be achieved using LAG windowed function. For data as below:
Order Part PartUpdated
A 1 NULL
A 5 1
A 7 5
A 13 7
A 25 13
Query:
SELECT *, LAG(Part) OVER(PARTITION BY Order ORDER BY Part) AS PartUpdated
FROM tab
ORDER BY Order, Part;
If you want to join a table to it's and don't want to use the exist keys, just assign a SEQ8() and join on that.
WITH has_seq AS (
select *, seq8() as seq
from table
)
SELECT a.one, a.two, b.three
FROM has_seq AS a
LEFT JOIN has_seq AS b
ON a.seq = b.seq AND _some_other_things_
if you are want to join again "all row after or before" you can as the sequent is increasing, but you cannot join to the "next" as there can be gaps.
BUT given your explaination, you need a WINDOW function. I would suggestion QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY a.order ORDER BY a.<insert order column here>) = 1
I feel you need t explain why you cannot use a OVER function, given, it is what you need to use, and instead we can teach you how to use it, in the context you have.
I have a table (call it oldtable) and the relevant columns are name, group, zip code. I have selected those into a new table (call that newtable). My issue is that some of the zip codes in the first table are NULL. I want to replace the NULL zip codes with the mode (most common value) of their group.
For example, say a row in newtable looks like this:
Name Group ZipCode
Blah G1 NULL
I want to replace that NULL with the most common zip code over all the people in G1 in oldtable. I am having trouble even getting started on pulling the mode of one column when grouped by another column.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2016.
This can be done using CROSS APPLY on an UPDATE.
UPDATE n SET
zipcode = x.zipcode
FROM newtable n
CROSS APPLY( SELECT TOP 1 zipcode, COUNT(*) cnt
FROM newtable o
WHERE n.[group] = o.[group]
GROUP BY zipcode
ORDER BY cnt DESC) x
WHERE n.zipcode IS NULL;
I am trying to figure out a way to check if their is repeated values in rows that are shared.
Example:
HMOID Name Addon10 Addon15 Addon20
RFFF Blah img path1 img path2 img path1
For my example, I would like to check if any of the addons for RFFF have any repeated value. In my example above, 'RFFF' has two images that are the same in Addon10 and Addon20 (The images have a path. so currently, they look like
http://oc2-reatest.regalmed.local/ocupgrade52/images/NDL_SCAN_SR.PNG).
I would like to be able to do this for multiple rows. I thought the following would give me an idea how to begin:
select * from HlthPlan
Group By HMO1A, HMONM
Having COUNT(*) > 1
However, it throughs the following error:
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'HlthPlan.HMOID' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.*
I am fairly new to SQL and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Don't include * for your select query. Only include the columns that you are using in GROUP BY
SELECT HMO1A, HMONM, COUNT(*) from HlthPlan
GROUP BY HMO1A, HMONM
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
With only three columns to check, assuming non-null values across a single row:
select * from HlthPlan
where Addon10 in (Addon15, Addon20) or Addon15 = Addon20
You can also use cross apply to pivot the values for grouping:
select HMOID, addon
from HlthPlan cross apply (
select addon
from (values (Addon01), (Addon02), (Addon03), ... (Addon20)) as pvt(addon)
) a
where addon is not null
group by HMOID, addon
having count(*) > 1;
http://rextester.com/QWIW87618
You'll get multiple rows for each HMOID where the are different groups of columns having the same value. By the way, reporting on the names of specific columns involved would add another degree of difficulty to the query.
One way you can check for this is using UNPIVOT to compare your results:
create table #hmo (hmoid varchar(6), name varchar(25), Addon10 varchar(25),
Addon15 varchar(25), addon20 varchar(25));
insert into #hmo
values ('RFFF', 'Blah','img path1', 'img path2', 'img path1');
select hmoid, name, addval, addcount = count(adds)
FROM #hmo
UNPIVOT
(
addval FOR adds IN
(addon10, addon15, addon20)
) as unpvt
group by hmoid, name, addval having count(*) > 1
Will give results:
hmoid name addval addcount
RFFF Blah img path1 2
This way you can check against every row in the table and will see any row that has any two or more columns with the same value.
This does have the potential to get tedious if you have a lot of columns; the easiest way to correct for that is to build your query dynamically using info from sys.tables and sys.columns.
In the database on which I am attempting to create a FullText Search I need to construct a table with its column names coming from one column in a previous table. In my current implementation attempt the FullText indexing is completed on the first table Data and the search for the phrase is done there, then the second table with the search results is made.
The schema for the database is
**Players**
Id
PlayerName
Blacklisted
...
**Details**
Id
Name -> FirstName, LastName, Team, Substitute, ...
...
**Data**
Id
DetailId
PlayerId
Content
DetailId in the table Data relates to Id in Details, and PlayerId relates to Id in Players. If there are 1k rows in Players and 20 rows in Details, then there are 20k rows in Data.
WITH RankedPlayers AS
(
SELECT PlayerID, SUM(KT.[RANK]) AS Rnk
FROM Data c
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(dbo.Data, Content, '"Some phrase like team name and player name"')
AS KT ON c. DataID = KT.[KEY]
GROUP BY c.PlayerID
)
…
Then a table is made by selecting the rows in one column. Similar to a pivot.
…
SELECT rc.Rnk,
c.PlayerID,
PlayerName,
TeamID,
…
(SELECT Content FROM dbo.Data data WHERE DetailID = 1 AND data.PlayerID = c.PlayerID) AS [TeamName],
…
FROM dbo.Players c
JOIN RankedPlayers rc ON c. PlayerID = rc. PlayerID
ORDER BY rc.Rnk DESC
I can return a ranked table with this implementation, the aim however is to be able to produce results from weighted columns, so say the column Playername contributes to the rank more than say TeamName.
I have tried making a schema bound view with a pivot, but then I cannot index it because of the pivot. I have tried making a view of that view, but it seems the metadata is inherited, plus that feels like a clunky method.
I then tried to do it as a straight query using sub queries in the select statement, but cannot due to indexing not liking sub queries.
I then tried to join multiple times, again the index on the view doesn't like self-referencing joins.
How to do this?
I have come across this article http://developmentnow.com/2006/08/07/weighted-columns-in-sql-server-2005-full-text-search/ , and other articles here on weighted columns, however nothing as far as I can find addresses weighting columns when the columns were initially row data.
A simple solution that works really well. Put weight on the rows containing the required IDs in another table, left join that table to the table to which the full text search had been applied, and multiply the rank by the weight. Continue as previously implemented.
In code that comes out as
DECLARE #Weight TABLE
(
DetailID INT,
[Weight] FLOAT
);
INSERT INTO #Weight VALUES
(1, 0.80),
(2, 0.80),
(3, 0.50);
WITH RankedPlayers AS
(
SELECT PlayerID, SUM(KT.[RANK] * ISNULL(cw.[Weight], 0.10)) AS Rnk
FROM Data c
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(dbo.Data, Content, 'Karl Kognition C404') AS KT ON c.DataID = KT.[KEY]
LEFT JOIN #Weight cw ON c.DetailID = cw.DetailID
GROUP BY c.PlayerID
)
SELECT rc.Rnk,
...
I'm using a temporary table here for evidence of concept. I am considering adding a column Weights to the table Details to avoid an unnecessary table and left join.
Web app is being written in classic ASP with a MSSQL backend. On this particular page, the admin can select 1 or any/all of the employees to assign the project to. I'm trying to figure out a simple way to store the employee IDs of the people assigned to it in one column.
The list of employees is generated from another table and can be dynamic (firing or hiring) so I want the program to be flexible enough to change based on these table changes.
Basically need to know how to assign multiple people to a project that can later be called up on a differen page or from a different query.
Sorry for the n00bish question, but thanks!
Don't store multiple ID's in one column! Create another table with the primary key of your existing table and a single ID that you want to store. You can then insert multiple rows into this new table, creating a 1:m (one to many) relationship. For example, let's look at an order table:
order:
order_id
order_date
and I have a product table...
product:
product_id
product_name
Now, you could go down the road of adding a column to order that let you list the products in the order, but that would be bad form. What you want instead is something like..
order_item:
order_item_id
order_id
product_id
quantity
unit_price
You can then perform a join to get all of the products for a particular order...
select
product.*
from orders
inner join order_item on order_item.order_id = order.order_id
inner join product on product.product_id = order_item.product_id
where orders.order_id = 5
Here's an example order_id of 5, and this will get all of the products in that order.
You need to create another table that stores these values such as. So this new table would store one row for each ID, and then link back to the original record with the original records ID.
