Update all using alias from an aggregate value derived from a Join - postgresql

SELECT activities.id, max(symbols.bought_at) AS bought_at
FROM "activities"
JOIN holdings ON trackable_id = holdings.id AND trackable_type = 'Holding'
JOIN symbols on symbols.holding_id = holdings.id
GROUP BY activities.id"
I have a SQL that looks like the above. This works fine. However, I want to update all activities' created_at to the alias bought_at. I get an error that bought_at is not a column. Is it possible to do so in Postgres?

you can use that query as the source for an UPDATE statement:
update activities
set created_at = t.bought_at
from (
SELECT activities.id, max(symbols.bought_at) AS bought_at
FROM activities
JOIN holdings ON trackable_id = holdings.id AND trackable_type = 'Holding'
JOIN symbols on symbols.holding_id = holdings.id
GROUP BY activities.id
) t
where activities.id = t.id;
This assumes that activities.id is the primary key of that table.

Getting duplicate column ERROR while trying to insert same column with two different datatypes using SELECT INTO clause in PostgreSql

I need to insert createdate column twice with two different datatypes one with the datatype defined in the table itself and another in char datatype.
I can insert it by changing the alias name of createdate column but can't insert with same alias name which i need.
so help me out to get correct way of doing it.
My query:
SELECT DISTINCT TE.id, T.debatchqueuelink, TE.transactionlink,
EC.errorclassification, TE.errorvalue,
EC.errorparameter, TE.classificationlink, TE.description,
TE.createdate AS createdate, TO_CHAR(TE.createdate, 'MM/dd/yyyy') AS createdate,
TE.status, TE.rebutt, TE.rebuttedstatus, BQ.appbatchnumber,
BQ.scanbatchnumber, BQ.clientlink, BQ.locationlink, T.patientid,

AND TE.status IN ('ERROR','QCCORRECTED')

The actual error message I am getting is:

Postgres Error: missing FROM-clause entry for table

I have a query and am using left joins. I have the left join clause as follows:
left outer join ( select pup.brokerage_code, pcz.zip, count (pup.aggregate_id) as VerifiedAgentCount
from partner_user_profiles pup
join partner_user_roles pure on pure.user_profile_id = pup.id
join profile_coverage_zips pcz on pcz.profile_id = pup.id
where lower(pure.role) = 'agent'
and pup.verification_status like 'Verified%'
group by pup.brokerage_code, pcz.zip) vac on vac.brokerage_code = b.brokerage_code and pcz.zip = bcz.zip
However I am getting the error message saying that I am missing the FROM entry clause for "pcz" however I aliased the table in the join clause so I am not sure what is wrong.
You have defined the table alias pcz within the sub-select however the alias no longer exists when the outside the sub-select. At the point you have used it the appropriate alias is the one for the entire sub-select, in this case vac. So: vac.zip = = bcz.zip
left outer join ( select pup.brokerage_code, pcz.zip, count (pup.aggregate_id) as VerifiedAgentCount
from partner_user_profiles pup
join partner_user_roles pure on pure.user_profile_id = pup.id
join profile_coverage_zips pcz on pcz.profile_id = pup.id
where lower(pure.role) = 'agent'
and pup.verification_status like 'Verified%'
group by pup.brokerage_code, pcz.zip
) vac on vac.brokerage_code = b.brokerage_code
and vac.zip = bcz.zip

Update PgSQL Self JOIN With Custom Values

I'm trying to use UPDATE SELF JOIN and could not seem to get the correct SQL query.
Before the query, I execute this SQL query to get the values:
SELECT DISTINCT ON (purpose) purpose FROM user_assigned_customer
sales_manager
main_contact
representative
administrator
By the time I run this query, it overwrites all the purpose columns:
UPDATE user_assigned_customer SET purpose = (
SELECT 'main_supervisor' AS purpose FROM user_assigned_customer AS assigned_user
LEFT JOIN app_user ON app_user.id = assigned_user.app_user_id
WHERE app_user.role = 'supervisor'
AND user_assigned_customer.purpose IS NULL
AND assigned_user.id = user_assigned_customer.id
)
The purpose column is now only showing when running the first query:
main_supervisor
Wondering if there is a way to query to update SQL Self JOIN with a custom value.
I think I got it with a help of a friend.
UPDATE user_assigned_customer SET purpose = 'main_supervisor'
FROM user_assigned_customer AS assigned_user
LEFT JOIN app_user ON app_user.id = assigned_user.app_user_id
WHERE app_user.role = 'supervisor'
AND user_assigned_customer.purpose IS NULL
AND assigned_user.id = user_assigned_customer.id

Postgresql Update & Inner Join

I am trying to update data in Table: local.import_payments from Table: local.payments based on update and Inner Join queries. The query I used:
Update local.import_payments
Set local.import_payments.client_id = local.payments.payment_for_client__record_id,
local.import_payments.client_name = local.payments.payment_for_client__company_name,
local.import_payments.customer_id = local.payments.customer__record_id,
local.import_payments.customer_name = local.payment_from_customer,
local.import_payments.payment_id = local.payments.payment_id
From local.import_payments
Inner Join local.payments
Where local.payments.copy_to_imported_payments = 'true'
The client_id, client_name, customer_id, customer_name in the local.import_payments need to get updated with the values from the table local.payments based on the condition that the field copy_to_imported_payments is checked.
I am getting a syntax error while executing the query. I tried a couple of things, but they did not work. Can anyone look over the queries and let me know where the issue is
Try the following
UPDATE local.import_payments
Set local.import_payments.client_id =
local.payments.payment_for_client__record_id,
local.import_payments.client_name =
local.payments.payment_for_client__company_name,
local.import_payments.customer_id = local.payments.customer__record_id,
local.import_payments.customer_name = local.payment_from_customer,
local.import_payments.payment_id = local.payments.payment_id
FROM local.payments as lpay
WHERE lpay.<<field>> = local.import_payments.<<field>>
AND local.payments.copy_to_imported_payments = 'true'
You shouldn't to specify the schema/table for updated columns, only column names:
Do not include the table's name in the specification of a target column — for example, UPDATE table_name SET table_name.col = 1 is invalid.
from the doc
You shouldn't to use the updating table in the from clause except of the case of self-join.
You can to make your query shorter using "column-list syntax".
update local.import_payments as target
set (
client_id,
client_name,
customer_id,
customer_name,
payment_id) = (
source.payment_for_client__record_id,
source.payment_for_client__company_name,
source.customer__record_id,
source.payment_from_customer,
source.payment_id)
from local.payments as source
where
<join condition> and
source.copy_to_imported_payments = 'true'

Joining with set-returning function (SRF) and access columns in SQLAlchemy

Suppose I have an activity table and a subscription table. Each activity has an array of generic references to some other object, and each subscription has a single generic reference to some other object in the same set.
CREATE TABLE activity (
id serial primary key,
ob_refs UUID[] not null
);
CREATE TABLE subscription (
id UUID primary key,
ob_ref UUID,
subscribed boolean not null
);
I want to join with the set-returning function unnest so I can find the "deepest" matching subscription, something like this:
SELECT id
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT ON (activity.id)
activity.id,
x.ob_ref, x.ob_depth,
subscription.subscribed IS NULL OR subscription.subscribed = TRUE
AS subscribed,
FROM activity
LEFT JOIN subscription
ON activity.ob_refs #> array[subscription.ob_ref]
LEFT JOIN unnest(activity.ob_refs)
WITH ORDINALITY AS x(ob_ref, ob_depth)
ON subscription.ob_ref = x.ob_ref
ORDER BY x.ob_depth DESC
) sub
WHERE subscribed = TRUE;
But I can't figure out how to do that second join and get access to the columns. I've tried creating a FromClause like this:
act_ref_t = (sa.select(
[sa.column('unnest', UUID).label('ob_ref'),
sa.column('ordinality', sa.Integer).label('ob_depth')],
from_obj=sa.func.unnest(Activity.ob_refs))
.suffix_with('WITH ORDINALITY')
.alias('act_ref_t'))
...
query = (query
.outerjoin(
act_ref_t,
Subscription.ob_ref == act_ref_t.c.ob_ref))
.order_by(activity.id, act_ref_t.ob_depth)
But that results in this SQL with another subquery:
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT unnest AS ob_ref, ordinality AS ref_i
FROM unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY
) AS act_ref_t
ON subscription.ob_refs #> ARRAY[act_ref_t.ob_ref]
... which fails because of the missing and unsupported LATERAL keyword:
There is an entry for table "activity", but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query.
So, how can I create a JOIN clause for this SRF without using a subquery? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Edit 1 Using sa.text with TextClause.columns instead of sa.select gets me a lot closer:
act_ref_t = (sa.sql.text(
"unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY")
.columns(sa.column('unnest', UUID),
sa.column('ordinality', sa.Integer))
.alias('act_ref'))
But the resulting SQL fails because it wraps the clause in parentheses:
LEFT OUTER JOIN (unnest(activity.ob_refs) WITH ORDINALITY)
AS act_ref ON subscription.ob_ref = act_ref.unnest
The error is syntax error at or near ")". Can I get TextAsFrom to not be wrapped in parentheses?
It turns out this is not directly supported by SA, but the correct behaviour can be achieved with a ColumnClause and a FunctionElement. First import this recipe as described by zzzeek in this SA issue. Then create a special unnest function that includes the WITH ORDINALITY modifier:
class unnest_func(ColumnFunction):
name = 'unnest'
column_names = ['unnest', 'ordinality']
#compiles(unnest_func)
def _compile_unnest_func(element, compiler, **kw):
return compiler.visit_function(element, **kw) + " WITH ORDINALITY"
You can then use it in joins, ordering, etc. like this:
act_ref = unnest_func(Activity.ob_refs)
query = (query
.add_columns(act_ref.c.unnest, act_ref.c.ordinality)
.outerjoin(act_ref, sa.true())
.outerjoin(Subscription, Subscription.ob_ref == act_ref.c.unnest)
.order_by(act_ref.c.ordinality.desc()))
