How to use substring of a column from one table as like to a column in some other table ? For example I tried using the below query however its give me error.
SELECT LABORCODE FROM labor WHERE worklocation like (SELECT substr(location,1,4) FROM person)+ '%';
If Substring of location from PERSON table returns 1234 then the final output should appear as below,
LABORCODE LOCATION
A 1234
B 12345
C 123456
Basically the substr (location) from PERSON table should be used as a input to worklocation field in LABOR table with LIKE function.
|| instead of +:
SELECT LABORCODE
FROM labor
WHERE worklocation like
(
SELECT substr(location,1,4)
FROM person
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY
) || '%';
I've added the FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY clause just in case, since the subselect must not return more than 1 row.
If your subselect returns multiple rows, then you may rewrite your query like this:
SELECT LABORCODE
FROM labor
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM person
WHERE labor.worklocation LIKE substr(person.location, 1, 4) || '%'
);

I have a case driven query . Below is the simplest form
select Column 1 from mytable
Results :
Column 1
latinnametest
LatinManual
LatinAuto
Is it possible to show the aggregated data of column 1 data of all the resulted rows in another Column say column 5 in front of each row with comma separated ?
Expected :
Column 1 Column 2
latinnametest latinnametest,LatinManual,LatinAuto
LatinManual latinnametest,LatinManual,LatinAuto
LatinAuto latinnametest,LatinManual,LatinAuto
I have used array_agg and concat() but it aggregates the same row data in column 2 but not as expected to add all rows column data comma separated . Any help please.
Edit :
I have tried the solution mentioned below but I am getting repetitive data in the column . see the screenshot. I have hover the mouse over that last column and see the repetitive data . Any solution to this ?

You can use string_agg() as a window function:
select column_1,
string_agg(column_1, ',') over () as all_values
from the_table;
Edit, after the scope was changed:
If you need distinct values, use a derived table:
select column_1,
string_agg(column_1, ',') over () as all_values
from (
select distinct column_1
from the_table
) t;
Alternatively with a common table expression:
with vals as (
select string_agg(distinct column_1, ',') as all_values
from the_table
)
select t.column_1, v.all_values
from the_table t
cross join vals v
I have some interesting data, I'm trying to query however I cannot get the syntax correct. I have a temporary table (temp_id), which I've filled with the id values I care about. In this example it is only two ids.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_id (id bigint PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT INTO temp_id (id) VALUES ( 1 ), ( 2 );
I have another table in production (let's call it foo) which holds multiples those ids in a single cell. The ids column looks like this (below) with ids as a single string separated by "|"
ids
-----------
1|9|3|4|5
6|5|6|9|7
NULL
2|5|6|9|7
9|11|12|99
I want to evaluate each cell in foo.ids, and see if any of the ids in match the ones in my temp_id table.
Expected output
ids |does_match
-----------------------
1|9|3|4|5 |true
6|5|6|9|7 |false
NULL |false
2|5|6|9|7 |true
9|11|12|99 |false
So far I've come up with this, but I can't seem to return anything. Instead of trying to create a new column does_match I tried to filter within the WHERE statement. However, the issue is I cannot figure out how to evaluate all the id values in my temp table to the string blob full of the ids in foo.
SELECT
ids,
FROM foo
WHERE ids = ANY(SELECT LISTAGG(id, ' | ') FROM temp_ids)
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Cheers,
this would work, however not sure about performance
SELECT
ids
FROM foo
JOIN temp_ids
ON '|'||foo.ids||'|' LIKE '%|'||temp_ids.id::varchar||'|%'
you wrap the IDs list into a pair of additional separators, so you can always search for |id| including the first and the last number
The following SQL (I know it's a bit of a hack) returns exactly what you expect as an output, tested with your sample data, don't know how would it behave on your real data, try and let me know
with seq AS ( # create a sequence CTE to implement postgres' unnest
select 1 as i union all # assuming you have max 10 ids in ids field,
# feel free to modify this part
select 2 union all
select 3 union all
select 4 union all
select 5 union all
select 6 union all
select 7 union all
select 8 union all
select 9 union all
select 10)
select distinct ids,
case # since I can't do a max on a boolean field, used two cases
# for 1s and 0s and converted them to boolean
when max(case
when t.id in (
select split_part(ids,'|',seq.i) as tt
from seq
join foo f on seq.i <= REGEXP_COUNT(ids, '|') + 1
where tt != '' and k.ids = f.ids)
then 1
else 0
end) = 1
then true
else false
end as does_match
from temp_id t, foo
group by 1
Please let me know if this works for you!
The query below returns 9,817 records. Now, I want to SELECT one more field from another table. See the 2 lines that are commented out, where I've simply selected this additional field and added a JOIN statement to bind this new columns. With these lines added, the query now returns 649,200 records and I can't figure out why! I guess something is wrong with my WHERE criteria in conjunction with the JOIN statement. Please help, thanks.
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID, BEGDOC, BATCHID
--, dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.CATEGORY_ID
FROM IMPORT_DOCUMENTS
--JOIN dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS ON
dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.ITEMID = dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID
WHERE (BATCHID LIKE 'IC0%' OR BATCHID LIKE 'LP0%')
AND dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID IN
(SELECT dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.ITEMID FROM
CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS
WHERE SCORE >= .7 AND SCORE <= .75 AND CATEGORY_ID IN(
SELECT CATEGORY_ID FROM CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATS WHERE COLLECTION_ID IN (11,16))
AND Sample_Id > 0)
AND dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID NOT IN
(SELECT ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS.Item_Id FROM ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS)
One possible reason is because one of your tables contains data at lower level, lower than your join key. For example, there may be multiple records per item id. The same item id is repeated X number of times. I would fix the query like the below. Without data knowledge, Try running the below modified query.... If output is not what you're looking for, convert it into SELECT Within a Select...
Hope this helps....
Try this SQL: SELECT DISTINCT a.ITEMID, a.BEGDOC, a.BATCHID, b.CATEGORY_ID FROM IMPORT_DOCUMENTS a JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT ITEMID FROM CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS WHERE SCORE >= .7 AND SCORE <= .75 AND CATEGORY_ID IN (SELECT DISTINCT CATEGORY_ID FROM CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATS WHERE COLLECTION_ID IN (11,16)) AND Sample_Id > 0) B ON a.ITEMID =b.ITEMID WHERE a.(a.BATCHID LIKE 'IC0%' OR a.BATCHID LIKE 'LP0%') AND a.ITEMID NOT IN (SELECT DIDTINCT Item_Id FROM ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS)
Currently I've a query as follows:
-- Query 1
SELECT
acc_code, acc_name, alias, LAmt, coalesce(LAmt,0) AS amt
FROM
(SELECT
acc_code, acc_name, alias,
(SELECT
(SUM(cr_amt)-SUM(dr_amt))
FROM
ledger_mcg l
WHERE
(l.acc_code LIKE a.acc_code + '.%' OR l.acc_code=a.acc_code)
AND
fy_id=1
AND
posted_date BETWEEN '2010-01-01' AND '2011-06-02') AS LAmt
FROM
acc_head_mcg AS a
WHERE
(acc_type='4')) AS T1
WHERE
coalesce(LAmt,0)<>0
Query 2 is same as Query 1 except that acc_type = '5' in Query 2. Query 2 always returns a resultset with a single row. Now, I need the union of the two queries i.e
Query 1
UNION
Query 2
only when the amt returned by Query 2 is less than 0. Else, I don't need a union but only the resulset from Query 1.
The best way I can think of is to create a parameterised scalar function. How best can I do this?
You could store the result of the first query into a temporary table, then, if the table wasn't empty, execute the other query.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#MultipleQueriesResults') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #MultipleQueriesResults;
SELECT
acc_code, acc_name, alias, LAmt, coalesce(LAmt,0) AS amt
INTO #MultipleQueriesResults
FROM
(SELECT
acc_code, acc_name, alias,
(SELECT
(SUM(cr_amt)-SUM(dr_amt))
FROM
ledger_mcg l
WHERE
(l.acc_code LIKE a.acc_code + '.%' OR l.acc_code=a.acc_code)
AND
fy_id=1
AND
posted_date BETWEEN '2010-01-01' AND '2011-06-02') AS LAmt
FROM
acc_head_mcg AS a
WHERE
(acc_type='4')) AS T1
WHERE
coalesce(LAmt,0)<>0;
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #MultipleQueriesResults)
… /* run Query 2 */
In Postgre, why does
select abc from (select 1) as abc
produces:
(1)
and
select * from (select 1) as abc
produces:
1
That's really strange to me. Is that the case with MySQL, Oracle, etc?
I spent hours figuring out why my conditions were failing...
The rows returned by your queries have different type: the first one is ROW(INT), while the second one is INT.
MySQL and others lack this feature.
In your first query, you are selecting a whole ROW as a single column. This query
SELECT abc FROM (SELECT 1, 2) abc
will produce (1, 2), which is a single column too and has type ROW.
To select the INT value, use:
SELECT abc.col
FROM (
SELECT 1 AS col
) abc
