table image
I have this table that I need to sort in the following way:
need to rank Departments by Salary;
need to show if Salary = NULL - 'No data to be shown' message
need to add total salary paid to the department
need to count people in the department
SELECT RANK() OVER (
ORDER BY Salary DESC
)
,CASE
WHEN Salary IS NULL
THEN 'NO DATA TO BE SHOWN'
ELSE Salary
,Count(Fname)
,Total(Salary) FROM dbo.Employees
I get an error saying:
Column 'dbo.Employees.Salary' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Why so?
Column 'dbo.Employees.Salary' is invalid in the select list because it
is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY
clause.
Why so?
The aggregate functions are returning a single value for the whole table, you can't SELECT a field alongside them it doesn't makes sense. Like say, you have a students table you apply Sum(marks) for the whole students table, and you are then also selecting student's name Select studentname in your query. Which student's name will the database engine select? Confusing
Column "invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause"
I tried this-
using inner query
SELECT RANK() OVER (ORDER BY SAL DESC) RANK,FNAME,DEPARTMENT
CASE
WHEN SAL IS NULL THEN 'NO DATA TO BE SHOWN'
ELSE SAL
END
FROM
(SELECT COUNT(FNAME) FNAME, SUM(SALARY) SAL, DEPARTMENT
FROM TESTEMPLOYEE
GROUP BY DEPARTMENT) t

I am trying to return zero counts as results for a query. But when I am running this query, a particular column's values are returning as null.
select tab1.source_type,
coalesce(tab2.numberofrecords,0) as numberofrecords,
coalesce(dt,current_date-40) as dt,
coalesce(client_id,client_id) as client_id
from (select distinct source_type from integration_customers )
as tab1
left join
(select count(id) as Numberofrecords,
source_type, Date(created_at) as dt,
client_id
from integration_customers ic
where Date(created_at)= current_date-39
and
source_type in
(select distinct "source" from integration_integrationconfig ii where status ='complete')
group by source_type ,dt,client_id
order by dt desc) as tab2
on tab1.source_type = tab2.source_type
But the results for this query is something like this:
I want to remove these null values and show the client id specifically for each zero record as well.
The table integration customers has the client id, created at,source type.
I need to write a sql code that probably is very simple but I am very new to it.
I need to find all the records from one table that have matching id (but no more than one) from the other table. eg. one table contains records of the employees and the second one with employees' telephone numbers. i need to find all employees with only one telephone no
Sample data would be nice. In absence of:
SELECT
employees.employee_id
FROM
employees
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT distinct on(employee_id) employee_id FROM emp_phone) AS phone
ON
employees.employee_id = phone.employee_id
WHERE
phone.employee_id IS NOT NULL;
You need a join of the 2 tables, group by employee and the condition in the having clause:
SELECT e.employee_id, e.name
FROM employees e INNER JOIN numbers n
ON e.employee_id = n.employee_id
GROUP BY e.employee_id, e.name
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1;
If there can be more than a few numbers per employee in the table with the employees' telephone numbers (calling it tel), then it's cheaper to avoid GROUP BY and HAVING which has to process all rows. Find employees with "unique" numbers using a self-anti-join with NOT EXISTS.
While you don't need more than the employee_id and their unique phone number, you don't even have to involve the employee table at all:
SELECT *
FROM tel t
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT FROM tel
WHERE employee_id = t.employee_id
AND tel_number <> t.tel_number -- or use PK column
);
If you need additional columns from the employee table:
SELECT * -- or any columns you need
FROM (
SELECT employee_id AS id, tel_number -- or any columns you need
FROM tel t
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT FROM tel
WHERE employee_id = t.employee_id
AND tel_number <> t.tel_number -- or use PK column
)
) t
JOIN employee e USING (id);
The column alias in the subquery (employee_id AS id) is just for convenience. Then the outer join condition can be USING (id), and the ID column is only included once in the result, even with SELECT * ...
Simpler with a smart naming convention that uses employee_id for the employee ID everywhere. But it's a widespread anti-pattern to use employee.id instead.

JOIN table if condition is satisfied, else perform no join
My table is somethingg like
CREATE TABLE table1
(
_id text,
name text,
data_type int,
data_value int,
data_date timestamp -- insertion time
);
Now due to a system bug, many duplicate entries are created and I need to remove those duplicated and keep only unique entries excluding data_date because it is a system generated date.
My query to do that is something like:
DELETE FROM table1 A
USING ( SELECT _id, name, data_type, data_value, MIN(data_date) min_date
FROM table1
GROUP BY _id, name, data_type, data_value
HAVING count(data_date) > 1) B
WHERE A._id = B._id
AND A.name = B.name
AND A.data_type = B.data_type
AND A.data_value = B.data_value
AND A.data_date != B.min_date;
However this query works, having millions of records in the table, I want a faster way for it. My idea is to create a new column with value as partition by [_id, name, data_type, data_value] or columns which are in group by. However, I could not find the way to create such column.
I would appretiate if any one may suggest a way to create such column.
Edit 1:
There is another thing to add, I don't want to use CTE or subquery for updating this new column because it will be same as my existing query.
The best way is simply creating a new table without duplicated records:
CREATE...
SELECT _id, name, data_type, data_value, MIN(data_date) min_date
FROM table1
GROUP BY _id, name, data_type, data_value;
Alternatively, you can create a rank and then filter, but a subquery is needed.
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY your_variables ORDER BY data_date ASC) r
And then filter r=1.
I am creating some queries for my project, but I face some difficulties with the follow ones:
A SELECT statement containing a subquery to retrieve a list of Locations (location id and street_address) that have employees with higher salary than the average of their department. The list must contain the number of those employees and their total salary per location. Name these aggregates respectively "emp" and "totalsalary". The locations in the list must be ordered by location_id.
Select LOCATION_ID, STREET_ADDRESS
from HR.LOCATIONS IN
(Select Employee_id
from HR.Employees
Where Salary > round(avg(SALARY)))
order by location_id;
error: SQL command not properly ended
and the second query is the following
The JOB_HISTORY table can contain more than one entries for an employee who was hired more than once. Create a query to retrieve a list of Employees that were hired more than once. Include the columns EMPLOYEE_ID, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME and the aggregate "Times Hired".
SELECT FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,EMPLOYEE_ID,
count (*)as TIMES_HIRED
from HR.JOB_HISTORY, HR.EMPLOYEES
where EMPLOYEE_ID= LAST_NAME
having COUNT(*) >1;
error: not a single-group
Try these hope they help. I am making an assumption that employee table has Location_Id column. I am adding Employee_id to Group by to make sure you get correct TotalSalary:
Select LOCATION_ID, STREET_ADDRESS, Count(Employee_id) AS emp, SUM(salary) AS totalsalary
from HR.LOCATIONS INNER JOIN
(Select Employee_id, salary
from HR.Employees
Having Salary > round(avg(SALARY), 0)) AS Emp ON HR.LOCATION_ID = Emp.Location_ID
Group By LOCATION_ID, STREET_ADDRESS, Employee_id
order by location_id;
For the second question:
SELECT FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,EMPLOYEE_ID,
count(Employee_id) as TIMES_HIRED
from HR.JOB_HISTORY inner join HR.EMPLOYEES On JOB_HISTORY.Employee_id = Employees.Employee_id
Group By FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,EMPLOYEE_ID
Having count(Employee_id) >1;
i'm having problems with a query. I have two tables: country and city and i want to display the city with the highest population per country.
Here's the query:
select country.name as coname, city.name as ciname, max(city.population) as pop
from city
join country on city.countrycode=country.code
group by country.name
order by pop;`
Error
column "city.name" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function.
I don't know how to solve this, i tried to make a subquery but it didn't work out.
How can i make it work?
You can easly get it using rank function:
select * from
(
select country.name as coname,
city.name as ciname,
city.population,
rank() over (partition by country.name order by city.population desc) as ranking
from
city
join
country
on city.countrycode=country.code
) A
where ranking = 1
