I was wondering how I can retrieve multiple result sets based on one CTE? Something like what I have below - but obviously this doesn't work.
Does anyone know how I can get these 2 (or more) sets of data, based on that one CTE? (more, as in that it would be nice to get the total record count from this same CTE as well.)
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT
Column1, Column2, Column3
FROM
Product
WHERE
Name LIKE '%Hat%' AND Description Like '%MyBrand%'
)
SELECT DISTINCT CategoryId FROM CTE
SELECT DISTINCT BrandId FROM CTE
A CTE only exists for the query immediately following it, so it's not possible to use it for two separate select statements. You'll either need to persist the data in something like a temp table, or construct/invoke the CTE twice.

Can you set multiple column names from a SQL table as a macro in SQL to query against?
For example I have multiple columns I am hitting against multiple times, can I use a macro or some type of reference to identify them ONCE to avoid displaying them repetitively and cluttering up the code?
The current code works, I am just looking for a cleaner/streamlined option.
Current Code:
WHERE ('ABC') IN
([CODE1],[CODE2],[CODE3],[CODE4],[CODE5],[CODE6],[CODE7],[CODE8]
,[CODE9],[CODE10],[CODE11],[CODE12],[CODE13],[CODE14],[CODE15]
,[CODE16],[CODE17],[CODE18],[CODE19],[CODE20],[CODE21],[CODE22]
,[CODE23],[CODE24],[CODE25]
AND ('CFS') IN
([CODE1],[CODE2],[CODE3],[CODE4],[CODE5],[CODE6],[CODE7],[CODE8]
,[CODE9],[CODE10],[CODE11],[CODE12],[CODE13],[CODE14],[CODE15]
,[CODE16],[CODE17],[CODE18],[CODE19],[CODE20],[CODE21],[CODE22]
,[CODE23],[CODE24],[CODE25]
ect...(20 more times)
Goal:
WHERE 'ABC' IN (&columnsmentionedabove)
OR 'FGS' in (&columnsmentionedabove)
OR 'g6s' in (&columnsmentionedabove)
etc.....
This is inherited code and just seems very clunky.
Thank you
Numbered columns like this are almost always a sign you should have an additional table. So if your existing table structure is like this:
Table1
Table1ID, OtherFields, Code1, Code2, Code3.... Code25
You really want something more like this:
Table1
Table1ID, OtherFields
Table1Codes
Table1ID, Code
Where each entry in Table1 will have many entries in Table1Codes. Then you write JOIN statements to show the two sets side-by-side when needed.
FROM Table1 t
INNER JOIN Table1Codes tc1 ON tc.Table1ID = t.Table1ID AND tc.Code = 'ABC'
INNER JOIN Table1Codes tc2 ON tc.Table1ID = t.Table1ID AND tc.Code = 'CFS'
Or
FROM Table1 t
INNER JOIN Table1Codes tc1 ON tc.Table1ID = t.Table1ID AND tc.Code IN ('ABC','FGS','g6s')
If you can't change the table's schema, as in often the case, you can UNPIVOT it. For example, assuming CODE1...CODE25 come from MyTable, wrap the UNPIVOT operation inside a CTE:
;WITH
cte AS
(
SELECT upvt.*
FROM MyTable
UNPIVOT (
CodeValue FOR CodeLabel IN ([CODE1], [CODE2], ..., [CODE25])
) upvt
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE CodeValue IN ('ABC', 'DEF', ...)
The unpivot operation is not free. Make sure you filter as much as possible from MyTable before unpivoting the it.
I have a table which has more than 100 columns, in normal case the contract_id should be unique in this table, but sometimes there are duplicate values. I use this SQL statement to retrieve data from this table:
select distinct contract_id, col1, col2,...colM
from the_table;
but I found contract_id values, I know there should be some values are different in the same column(s), can I have a way to find out all these columns which have different value result in I saw duplicate contract_id even though I use distinct, because there are lots of fields and only a few columns have different values. It is difficult to compare each column one by one manually.
Try something along
SELECT contract_id
FROM the_table
GROUP BY contract_id
HAVING COUNT(contract_id)>1;
or
WITH NumberedRows AS
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY contract_id ORDER BY(SELECT NULL)) AS RowNumber
,*
FROM the_table
)
SELECT *
FROM NumberedRows
WHERE RowNumber>1;
The first will show you all the contract_id values, which occur at least twice, the second will show you all the rows you might want to manipulate (delete/change).
attention: I used SELECT NULL in the ORDER BY of the OVER() clause. It is very important to use a fitting ORDER BY clause here. This will be responsible for Which row gets the number 1 and which rows get increasing numbers and will show up in the result due to >1?
I've multipe uniond statements in MSSQL Server that is very hard to find a unique column among the result.
I need to have a unique value per each row, so I've used ROW_NUMBER() function.
This result set is being copied to other place (actually a SOLR index).
In the next time I will run the same query, I need to pick only the newly added rows.
So, I need to confirm that, the newly added rows will be numbered afterward the last row_number value of the last time.
In other words, Is the ROW_NUMBER functions orders the results with the insertion order - suppose I don't adding any ORDER BY clause?
If no, (as I think), Is there any alternatives?
Thanks.
Without seeing the sql I can only give the general answer that MS Sql does not guarantee the order of select statements without an order clause so that would mean that the row_number may not be the insertion order.
I guess you can do something like this..
;WITH
cte
AS
(
SELECT * , rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SomeColumn)
FROM
(
/* Your Union Queries here*/
)q
)
INSERT INTO Destination_Table
SELECT * FROM
CTE LEFT JOIN Destination_Table
ON CTE.Refrencing_Column = Destination_Table.Refrencing_Column
WHERE Destination_Table.Refrencing_Column IS NULL
I would suggest you consider 'timestamping' the row with the time it was inserted. Or adding an identity column to the table.
But what it sounds like you want to do is get current max id and then add the row_number to it.
Select col1, col2, mid + row_number() over(order by smt) id
From (
Select col1, col2, (select max(id) from tbl) mid
From query
) t
Here is the setup:
Table 1: table_1
column_id
column_12
column_13
column_14
Table 2: table_2
column_id
column_21
column_22
Select statement:
DECLARE #Variable
INT SET #Variable = 300
SELECT b.column_id,
b.column_12,
SUM(b.column_13) OVER (PARTITION BY b.column_id ORDER BY b.column_12) AS sum_column_13,
#Variable / nullif(SUM(b.column_13) OVER (PARTITION BY b.column_id ORDER BY b.column_12),0) AS divide_var,
(b.column_13*100) / nullif(b.column_14,0) AS divide_column_3
FROM dbo.table_1 b
WHERE b.column_12 IN ('AM','AJ','A-M','A-J','A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q');
This works great, all the formulas are working and the correct results are shown.
b.column_id is retrieved
b.column_12 is retrieved
sum_column_13 is equal to the sum of all the column_13 values (partitioned by column_id)
divide_var is equal to a variable dived by sum_column_13
divide_column_13 is equal to column_13 divided by column_14
Now however I am trying to retrieve the #Variable from table_2, instead of it being static.
Both tables have a column_id, which could link them together. However this value is not unique.
The actual number for #Variable should come from table_2; by summing all the values of column_21 for each column_id.(Something similar sum_column_13)
I can make both things work separately, but when I try to combine them (with a JOIN, or an extra SELECT class) everything goes wild. For example when using the JOIN statement, the WHERE class is solely applied to the JOIN statement and not to the SELECT statement. How I imagine it should go is to use the column_id results from the current SELECT, then use this to retrieve the required data from table_2.
I understand my explanation is not very clear. So here is an SQLFiddle.
As you can see the variable right now comes from adding up the two values in table_2.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Here is the sample code, I've not made use of variable instead I'm using the sum of columns directly, also I've made use of CTE:
with tbl_2(col_id, col_sum) as
( select col_id, sum(column_21) col_sum from tbl_2 group by col_id)
SELECT b.column_id,
b.column_12,
SUM(b.column_13) OVER (PARTITION BY b.column_id ORDER BY b.column_12) AS sum_column_13,
col_sum / nullif(SUM(b.column_13) OVER (PARTITION BY b.column_id ORDER BY b.column_12),0) AS divide_var,
(b.column_13*100) / nullif(b.column_14,0) AS divide_column_3
FROM dbo.table_1 b
join tbl_2 on b.col_id=tbl_2.col_id
WHERE b.column_12 IN ('AM','AJ','A-M','A-J','A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q');
I have several query results that use one or more aggregate functions and a date GROUP-BY so they look something like this:
Date VisitCount(COUNT) TotalBilling(SUM)
1/1/10 234 15765.21
1/2/10 321 23146.27
1/3/10 289 19436.51
The simplified SQL for the above is:
SELECT
VisitDate,
COUNT(*) AS VisitCount,
SUM(BilledAmount) AS TotalBilling
FROM Visits
GROUP BY VisitDate
What I would like is a way to apply an aggregate function such as AVG to one of the columns in the result set. For example, I would like to add "AvgVisits" and "AvgBilling" columns to the result set like this:
Date VisitCount(COUNT) TotalBilling(SUM) AvgVisits AvgBilling
1/1/10 234 15765.21 281.3 19449.33
1/2/10 321 23146.27 281.3 19449.33
1/3/10 289 19436.51 281.3 19449.33
SQL does not permit the application of an aggregate function to another aggregate function or a subquery, so the only ways I can think to do this are by using a temporary table or by iterating through the result set and manually calculating the values. Are there any ways I can do this in MSSQL2008 without a temp table or manual calculation?
with cteGrouped as (
SELECT
VisitDate,
COUNT(*) AS VisitCount,
SUM(BilledAmount) AS TotalBilling
FROM Visits
GROUP BY VisitDate),
cteTotal as (
SELECT COUNT(*)/COUNT(DISTINCT VisitDate) as AvgVisits,
SUM(BilledAmount)/COUNT(DISTINCT VisitDate) as AvgBilling
FROM Visits)
SELECT *
FROM cteGrouped
CROSS JOIN cteTotal;
You can achieve the same with sub-queries, I just find CTEs more expressive.
Something Similar to
select *,avg(visitcount) over(),
avg(totalbilling) over()
from(
SELECT
VisitDate,
COUNT(*) AS VisitCount,
SUM(BilledAmount) AS TotalBilling
FROM Visits
GROUP BY VisitDate) as a
Well if you are specifically trying to avoid using temporary tables i believe it could be done using a Common Table Expression.
