I have list a data ORDER BY DCREPORTTIME.
My problem is I need to select the row which is alternating (ALARMSET/ALARMCLEARED).
Pls refer pic below... TQ~
**RED - no need to select.
shift | LOCATIONNAME | CALARMSTATE | DCREPORTTIME
--------- ----------------------------------------------------------
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS | **AlarmSet** | 11:12:26
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS | **AlarmCleared** | 11:12:26
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS 5 | AlarmCleared | 11:12:53
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS 5 | AlarmSet | 14:57:38
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS 5 | AlarmSet | 14:57:43
5/15/2013 | MYQ01_CTES_A_LTS 5 | AlarmCleared | 14:57:43
Example data : HERE!
Try this :-
Select a.shift,a.LOCATIONNAME,a.DCREPORTTIME,a.CALARMSTATE
from yourTable a
inner join yourTable b
on a.CALARMSTATE <> b.CALARMSTATE and a.LOCATIONNAME=b.LOCATIONNAME
and a.DCREPORTTIME= b.DCREPORTTIME

I need to take data from a table that looks like this:
name | server | instance | version | user
----------|----------|------------|----------|--------- -
package_a | x | 1 | 1 | AB
package_b | x | 1 | 1 | TL
package_a | x | 2 | 4 | SK
package_a | y | 1 | 2 | MD
package_c | y | 1 | 4 | SK
package_b | y | 2 | 1 | SK
package_a | y | 2 | 1 | TL
package_b | x | 2 | 3 | TL
package_c | x | 2 | 1 | TL
and I need to put it in a table like that:
name | v_x_1 | u_x_1 | v_x_2 | u_x_2 | v_y_1 | u_y_1 | v_y_2 | u_y_2
----------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------
package_a | 1 | AB | 4 | SK | 2 | MD | 1 | TL
package_b | 1 | TL | 3 | TL | NULL | NULL | 1 | SK
package_c | NULL | NULL | 1 | TL | 4 | SK | NULL | NULL
I already tried INSERT with (SUB)SELECT, tried to INSERT package names first using DISTINCT and UPDATE afterwards, played around with PIVOT and stuff like that.
But I'm rather new to SQL and programming in general, so I couldn't come up with a solution. Since I not only have a version number in the source table but also nvarchar columns, It seems like PIVOT won't be the way to go, right?
You can use PIVOT on a sub query that uses UNION to separate the user and version values.
insert into YourNewTable (name, [v_x_1],[u_x_1],[v_x_2],[u_x_2],[v_y_1],[u_y_1],[v_y_2],[u_y_2])
select *
from (
select name, cast([version] as varchar(30)) as value, concat('v_',[server],'_',instance) as title from YourTable
union all
select name, [user] as value, concat('u_',[server],'_',instance) as title from YourTable
) q
pivot (max(value) FOR title IN (
[v_x_1],[u_x_1],[v_x_2],[u_x_2],[v_y_1],[u_y_1],[v_y_2],[u_y_2]
)
) pvt;
I made a INNER JOIN in stored procedure, but I don't know what to put to my WHERE clause to filter those column with null values and only shows those rows who has not null on a particular column.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[25]

SELECT c.Name, c.Age, c2.Name, c2.Country
FROM Cus C
INNER JOIN Cus2 C2 ON c.id = c2.id
WHERE c2.country is not null and c2.id = #param1
Order by c2.Country
RETURN 0
ID 1

WHERE column IS NOT NULL is the syntax to filter out NULL values.
Solution 1: test not null value
Example:
WHERE yourcolumn IS NOT NULL
Solution 2: test comparaison value in your where clause (comparaison substract null values)
Examples:
WHERE yourcolumn = value
WHERE yourcolumn <> value
WHERE yourcolumn in ( value)
WHERE yourcolumn not in ( value)
WHERE yourcolumn between value1 and value2
WHERE yourcolumn not between value1 and value2
I have a situation that I want to simplify it this way. (I'm writing this in Sql Server)
Imagine I have 2 tables as following:
Books
+---------+
| BookID |
+---------+
| 1 |
+---------+
| 2 |
+---------+
| 3 |
+---------+
BookRentals
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| BookID | RentedBy | RentalDate |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | A | 1/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 2 | A | 2/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | B | 3/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 3 | B | 4/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
I need to write a select statement that produces the following result:
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| BookID | RentedBy | RentalDate |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | A | 1/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 2 | A | 2/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 3 | A | NULL |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | B | 2/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 2 | B | NULL |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
| 3 | B | 2/1/2015 |
+---------+-------------+---------------+
Any help is really appreciated.
So you want a cross join of all books and all renters, adding a column that displays the RentalDate (if any) for a given combination of BookID and Renter?
Try this:
SELECT B.BookId, R.RentedBy, BR.RentalDate
FROM Books AS B
CROSS JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT RentedBy FROM BookRentals) AS R
LEFT JOIN BookRentals AS BR ON BR.BookId = B.BookId AND BR.RentedBy = R.RentedBy
If you already have a table containing the ID of all renters, you might want to use that, instead of the subquery (SELECT DISTINCT RentedBy FROM BookRentals).
MASTER TABLE
x------x--------------------x
| Id | Name |
x------x--------------------x
| 1 | A |
| 2 | B |
| 3 | C |
x------x--------------------x
DETAILS TABLE
x------x--------------------x-------x
| Id | PERIOD | QTY |
x------x--------------------x-------x
| 1 | 2014-01-13 | 10 |
| 1 | 2014-01-11 | 15 |
| 1 | 2014-01-12 | 20 |
| 2 | 2014-01-06 | 30 |
| 2 | 2014-01-08 | 40 |
x------x--------------------x-------x
I am getting the same results when LEFT JOIN and OUTER APPLY is used.
LEFT JOIN
SELECT T1.ID,T1.NAME,T2.PERIOD,T2.QTY
FROM MASTER T1
LEFT JOIN DETAILS T2 ON T1.ID=T2.ID
OUTER APPLY
SELECT T1.ID,T1.NAME,TAB.PERIOD,TAB.QTY
FROM MASTER T1
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT ID,PERIOD,QTY
FROM DETAILS T2
WHERE T1.ID=T2.ID
)TAB
Where should I use LEFT JOIN AND where should I use OUTER APPLY
A LEFT JOIN should be replaced with OUTER APPLY in the following situations.
1. If we want to join two tables based on TOP n results
Consider if we need to select Id and Name from Master and last two dates for each Id from Details table.
SELECT M.ID,M.NAME,D.PERIOD,D.QTY
FROM MASTER M
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT TOP 2 ID, PERIOD,QTY
FROM DETAILS D
ORDER BY CAST(PERIOD AS DATE)DESC
)D
ON M.ID=D.ID
which forms the following result
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| Id | Name | PERIOD | QTY |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| 1 | A | 2014-01-13 | 10 |
| 1 | A | 2014-01-12 | 20 |
| 2 | B | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | C | NULL | NULL |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
This will bring wrong results ie, it will bring only latest two dates data from Details table irrespective of Id even though we join with Id. So the proper solution is using OUTER APPLY.
SELECT M.ID,M.NAME,D.PERIOD,D.QTY
FROM MASTER M
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT TOP 2 ID, PERIOD,QTY
FROM DETAILS D
WHERE M.ID=D.ID
ORDER BY CAST(PERIOD AS DATE)DESC
)D
Here is the working : In LEFT JOIN , TOP 2 dates will be joined to the MASTER only after executing the query inside derived table D. In OUTER APPLY, it uses joining WHERE M.ID=D.ID inside the OUTER APPLY, so that each ID in Master will be joined with TOP 2 dates which will bring the following result.
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| Id | Name | PERIOD | QTY |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| 1 | A | 2014-01-13 | 10 |
| 1 | A | 2014-01-12 | 20 |
| 2 | B | 2014-01-08 | 40 |
| 2 | B | 2014-01-06 | 30 |
| 3 | C | NULL | NULL |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
2. When we need LEFT JOIN functionality using functions.
OUTER APPLY can be used as a replacement with LEFT JOIN when we need to get result from Master table and a function.
SELECT M.ID,M.NAME,C.PERIOD,C.QTY
FROM MASTER M
OUTER APPLY dbo.FnGetQty(M.ID) C
And the function goes here.
CREATE FUNCTION FnGetQty
(
#Id INT
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT ID,PERIOD,QTY
FROM DETAILS
WHERE ID=#Id
)
which generated the following result
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| Id | Name | PERIOD | QTY |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
| 1 | A | 2014-01-13 | 10 |
| 1 | A | 2014-01-11 | 15 |
| 1 | A | 2014-01-12 | 20 |
| 2 | B | 2014-01-06 | 30 |
| 2 | B | 2014-01-08 | 40 |
| 3 | C | NULL | NULL |
x------x---------x--------------x-------x
3. Retain NULL values when unpivoting
Consider you have the below table
x------x-------------x--------------x
| Id | FROMDATE | TODATE |
x------x-------------x--------------x
| 1 | 2014-01-11 | 2014-01-13 |
| 1 | 2014-02-23 | 2014-02-27 |
| 2 | 2014-05-06 | 2014-05-30 |
| 3 | NULL | NULL |
x------x-------------x--------------x
When you use UNPIVOT to bring FROMDATE AND TODATE to one column, it will eliminate NULL values by default.
SELECT ID,DATES
FROM MYTABLE
UNPIVOT (DATES FOR COLS IN (FROMDATE,TODATE)) P
which generates the below result. Note that we have missed the record of Id number 3
x------x-------------x
| Id | DATES |
x------x-------------x
| 1 | 2014-01-11 |
| 1 | 2014-01-13 |
| 1 | 2014-02-23 |
| 1 | 2014-02-27 |
| 2 | 2014-05-06 |
| 2 | 2014-05-30 |
x------x-------------x
In such cases an APPLY can be used(either CROSS APPLY or OUTER APPLY, which is interchangeable).
SELECT DISTINCT ID,DATES
FROM MYTABLE
OUTER APPLY(VALUES (FROMDATE),(TODATE))
COLUMNNAMES(DATES)
which forms the following result and retains Id where its value is 3
x------x-------------x
| Id | DATES |
x------x-------------x
| 1 | 2014-01-11 |
| 1 | 2014-01-13 |
| 1 | 2014-02-23 |
| 1 | 2014-02-27 |
| 2 | 2014-05-06 |
| 2 | 2014-05-30 |
| 3 | NULL |
x------x-------------x
In your example queries the results are indeed the same.
But OUTER APPLY can do more: For each outer row you can produce an arbitrary inner result set. For example you can join the TOP 1 ORDER BY ... row. A LEFT JOIN can't do that.
The computation of the inner result set can reference outer columns (like your example did).
OUTER APPLY is strictly more powerful than LEFT JOIN. This is easy to see because each LEFT JOIN can be rewritten to an OUTER APPLY just like you did. It's syntax is more verbose, though.
being a novice sql user:
I have a simple table storing some records over night daily. table:
Table: T1
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
| Id | A | AB | Value | Date |
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
| 1 | abc | I | -48936.08 | 2013-06-24 |
| 2 | def | A | 431266.19 | 2013-06-24 |
| 3 | xyz | I | -13523.90 | 2013-06-24 |
| 4 | abc | A | 13523.90 | 2013-06-23 |
| 5 | xyz | I | -13523.90 | 2013-06-23 |
| 6 | def | A | 13523.90 | 2013-06-22 |
| 7 | def | I | -13523.90 | 2013-06-22 |
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
I would like to get all values of columns A,AB, Value for the latest Date on Column A filtered on AB = I
basically the result should look like:
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
| Id | A | AB | Value | Date |
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
| 1 | abc | I | -48936.08 | 2013-06-24 |
| 3 | xyz | I | -13523.90 | 2013-06-24 |
| 7 | def | I | -13523.90 | 2013-06-22 |
+----+-----+----+-----------+------------+
I have tried to use inner join twice on the same table but failed to come up with correct result.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks :)
This will work with sqlserver 2005+
