I have an SQL SELECT that left-joins several tables together, which results in an output with redundant data.
Example query:
SELECT
A.ID, B.ID
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B ON B.ParentID=A.ID
FETCH NEXT 4 ROWS ONLY
Example output:
A.ID B.ID
1 10
1 20
2 30
2 40
My problem is that I want to limit the number of rows from the A table, not from the actual output. In short, I would like to have an output like this when I ask for 4 rows:
A.ID B.ID
1 10
1 20
2 30
2 40
3 50
3 60
4 70
4 80
Any advice?
UPDATE:
Here is a fiddle that could help explaining the problem:

i have applied query on actual data, use sub query to get top 4 result.
declare #temp table
(aId int, bId int)
insert into #temp
values
(1,10),
(1,20),
(2,30),
(2,40),
(3,50),
(3,60),
(4,70),
(4,80),
(5,90),
(6,100)
select * from #temp
where aId in
(select distinct top 4 aId from #temp where aId > 1)

I want to know who has the most friends from the app I own(transactions), which means it can be either he got paid, or paid himself to many other users.
I can't make the query to show me only those who have the max friends number (it can be 1 or many, and it can be changed so I can't use limit).
;with relationships as
(
select
paid as 'auser',
Member_No as 'afriend'
from Payments$
union all
select
member_no as 'auser',
paid as 'afriend'
from Payments$
),
DistinctRelationships AS (
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM relationships
)
select
afriend,
count(*) cnt
from DistinctRelationShips
GROUP BY
afriend
order by
count(*) desc
I just can't figure it out, I've tried count, max(count), where = max, nothing worked.
It's a two columns table - "Member_No" and "Paid" - member pays the money, and the paid is the one who got the money.

It's from Excel, but I loaded it into sql-server.
It's just a sample, there are 1000 more rows
It seems like you are massively over-complicating this. There is no need for self-joining.
Just unpivot each row so you have both sides of the relationship, then group it up by one side and count distinct of the other side
SELECT
-- for just the first then SELECT TOP (1)
-- for all that tie for the top place use SELECT TOP (1) WITH TIES
v.Id,
Relationships = COUNT(DISTINCT v.Other),
TotalTransactions = COUNT(*)
FROM Payments$ p
CROSS APPLY (VALUES
(p.Member_No, p.Paid),
(p.Paid, p.Member_No)
) v(Id, Other)
GROUP BY
v.Id
ORDER BY
COUNT(DISTINCT v.Other) DESC;

I have a table with the following columns.
EVAL_ID | GGRP_ID | GOAL_ID
1 1 1
2 2 1
2 2 2
3 1 3
I want to create a view with another columns called GOAL_VERSION which has values from 1 to 3. So that each row from the above table should be duplicated 5 times for different GOAL_VERSION numbers. The out put should be like this.
EVAL_ID | GGRP_ID | GOAL_ID |GOAL_VERSION
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 2
1 1 1 3
1 1 1 4
1 1 1 5
2 2 1 1
2 2 1 2
2 2 1 3
2 2 1 4
2 2 1 5
How can I do that. Help me. Thank you.
Is it this you are looking for?
DECLARE #tbl TABLE(EVAL_ID INT,GGRP_ID INT,GOAL_ID INT);
INSERT INTO #tbl VALUES
(1,1,1)
,(2,2,1)
,(2,2,2)
,(3,1,3);
SELECT tbl.*
,x.Nr
FROM #tbl AS tbl
CROSS JOIN (VALUES(1),(2),(3),(4),(5)) AS x(Nr)
EDIT: Varying count of repetition
DECLARE #tbl TABLE(EVAL_ID INT,GGRP_ID INT,GOAL_ID INT);
INSERT INTO #tbl VALUES
(1,1,1)
,(2,2,1)
,(2,2,2)
,(3,1,3);
DECLARE #tblCountOfRep TABLE(CountOfRep INT);
INSERT INTO #tblCountOfRep VALUES(3);
SELECT tbl.*
,y.Nr
FROM #tbl AS tbl
CROSS JOIN (SELECT TOP (SELECT CountOfRep FROM #tblCountOfRep) * FROM(VALUES(1),(2),(3),(4),(5) /*add the max count here*/) AS x(Nr)) AS y
In this case I'd prefer I numbers table...
Take a look at CROSS JOIN. If you make a table that's got one column with the 5 rows you want you can just CROSS JOIN it to get the result you're after.
You can achieve this using a CTE and CROSS APPLY:
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT 1 AS GOAL_VERSION
UNION
SELECT 2
UNION
SELECT 3
UNION
SELECT 4
UNION
SELECT 5
)
SELECT * FROM <your table>
CROSS APPLY CTE
use "with" (cte) with rank clause for creating view.
If you have a numbers table in SQL database, you can cross join your table with the numbers table for numbers between 1 and 5
Here is my SQL solution for your requirement
select
goals.*,
n.i as GOAL_VERSION
from goals, dbo.NumbersTable(1,5,1) n
And here is the modified version with "cross join" as suggested in the comments
select
goals.*,
n.i as GOAL_VERSION
from goals
cross join dbo.NumbersTable(1,5,1) n
You can realize, I used a SQL table-valued function for SQL numbers table
Please create that SQL function using the source codes given in the referred tutorial
I hope it helps,
I'm trying to select randomly few rows for each Id stored in one table where these Ids have multiple rows on this table. It's difficult to explain with words, so let me show you with an example :
Example from the table :
Id Review
1 Text11
1 Text12
1 Text13
2 Text21
3 Text31
3 Text32
4 Text41
5 Text51
6 Text61
6 Text62
6 Text63
Result expected :
Id Review
1 Text11
1 Text13
2 Text21
3 Text32
4 Text41
5 Text51
6 Text62
In fact, the table contains thousands of rows. Some Ids contain only one Review but others can contain hundreds of reviews. I would like to select 10% of these, and select at least once, all rows wich have 1-9 reviews (I saw the SELECT TOP 10 percent FROM table ORDER BY NEWID() includes the row even if it's alone)
I read some Stack topics, I think I have to use a subquery but I don't find the correct solution.
Thanks by advance.
Regards.
Try this:
DECLARE #t table(Id int, Review char(6))
INSERT #t values
(1,'Text11'),
(1,'Text12'),
(1,'Text13'),
(2,'Text21'),
(3,'Text31'),
(3,'Text32'),
(4,'Text41'),
(5,'Text51'),
(6,'Text61'),
(6,'Text62'),
(6,'Text63')
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT
id, Review,
row_number() over (partition by id order by newid()) rn,
count(*) over (partition by id) cnt
FROM #t
)
SELECT id, Review
FROM CTE
WHERE rn <= (cnt / 10) + 1
Result(random):
id Review
1 Text12
2 Text21
3 Text31
4 Text41
5 Text51
6 Text63
I am new to the recursive CTE concept and a problem at hand, I got a tiny feeling that the problem can be solved by using recursive CTE. Let me know what you guys think.
Two tables:
Table one is a self referencing Location table with ID, ParentID, Level and Description.
Table two is an asset table which records individual assets and has a foreign key to Location table ID field.
Table1:
ID Description ParentID Level
1 Site1 NULL 1
2 Site2 NULL 1
3 Building1 1 2
4 Building2 1 2
5 Floor1 3 3
6 Floor2 3 3
7 Floor3 4 3
8 Place1 5 4
9 Place2 7 4
Table2:
ID Description Quantity LocationID
1 Desk 3 8
2 Lamp 1 8
3 PC 10 9
I would like to create a stored procedure with a input parameter of #Level and returns all the Location records at that level and the number of assets within the location (including sub levels).
For example, if #Level = 3, the stored procedure should return:
ID Description AssetCount
5 Floor1 4
6 Floor2 0
7 Floor3 10
If #Level = 2, the stored procedure should return:
ID Description AssetCount
3 Building1 4
4 Building2 10
If the problem is not clear, please let me know.
Well, nothing special here, just a recursive CTE joined with the other table, and the results are what you expected:
declare #level int = 3
;with CTE as (
select id as origid, id, Description, parentid
from table1 where level = #level
union all
select CTE.origid, t1.id, CTE.Description, t1.parentid
from CTE join table1 t1 on
CTE.id = t1.parentid
)
select origid, CTE.description, isnull(sum(t2.Quantity),0) as Quantity
from CTE left outer join table2 t2 on CTE.id = t2.locationid
group by origid, CTE.description
SQL Fiddle
I am trying to Create a SQL View by joining two SQL tables and return only the lowest value from second table and all the rows from first table similar to left join.
My problem can be clearly explained with the below example.
Table1
Id Product Grade Term Bid Offer
100 ABC A Q1 10 20
101 ABC A Q1 5 25
102 XYZ A Q2 25 30
103 XYZ B Q2 20 30
Table2
Id Product Grade Term TradeValue
1 ABC A Q1 100
2 ABC A Q1 95
3 XYZ B Q2 100
In the above data I want to join Table1 and Table2 when ever the columns Product,Grade and Term from both the tables are equal and return all the rows from Table1 while joining the lowest Value of the column TradeValue from Table2 to the first record of the match and making TradeValue as NULL for other rows of the resultant View and the resultant View should have the Id of Table2 as LTID
So the resultant SQL View should be
RESULT
Id Product Grade Term Bid Offer TradeValue LTID
100 ABC A Q1 10 20 95 2
101 ABC A Q1 5 25 NULL 2
102 XYZ A Q2 25 30 NULL NULL
103 XYZ B Q2 20 30 100 3
I tried using the following query
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[ViewCC]
AS
SELECT
a.Id,a.Product,a.Grade,a.Term,a.Bid,a.Offer,
b.TradeValue
FROM Table1 AS a
left JOIN (SELECT Product,Grade,Term,MIN(TradeValue) TradeValue from Table2 Group by Product,Grade,Term,) AS b
ON b.Product=a.Product
and b.Grade=a.Grade
and b.Term=a.Term
GO
The above Query returned the following data which is apt to the query I wrote but that is not what I was trying to get
Id Product Grade Term Bid Offer TradeValue
100 ABC A Q1 10 20 95
101 ABC A Q1 5 25 95 --This should be null
102 XYZ A Q2 25 30 NULL
103 XYZ B Q2 20 30 100
As we can see minimum value of TradeValue being assigned to all matching rows in Table1 and also I was not able to return Id As LTID from Table2 as I have issues with group by clause as I cannot group it by b.Id as it returns too many rows.
May I know a better way to deal with this?
You need a row number attached to each record from Table1, so that the requirement of only joining the first record from each group of Table1 can be fulfilled:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[ViewCC]
AS
SELECT a.Id, a.Product, a.Grade, a.Term, a.Bid, a.Offer,
b.TradeValue, b.Id AS LTID
FROM (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Product, Grade, Term ORDER BY Id) AS rn
FROM Table1
) a
OUTER APPLY (
SELECT TOP 1 CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN TradeValue
ELSE NULL
END AS TradeValue, Id
FROM Table2
WHERE Product=a.Product AND Grade=a.Grade AND Term=a.Term
ORDER BY TradeValue) b
GO
OUTER APPLY returns a table expression containing either the matching record from Table2 with the lowest TradeValue, or NULL if no matching record exists.
