I'm having problem with using the values of an array column in a where clause. Complete example to reproduce:
create type public.genre_type as enum ('scifi', 'fantasy', 'crime', 'horror', 'classics');
create table public.reader_profile(
id integer,
fave_genres genre_type ARRAY
);
create table public.books(
id serial not null,
title text,
genre_type public.genre_type
);
insert into public.reader_profile(id, fave_genres) values (1, array['crime', 'horror']::public.genre_type[]);
insert into public.reader_profile(id, fave_genres) values (2, array['fantasy', 'scifi']::public.genre_type[]);
insert into public.reader_profile(id, fave_genres) values (3, array['scifi', 'classics']::public.genre_type[]);
insert into public.books(title, genre_type) values ('gone with the wind', 'classics');
insert into public.books(title, genre_type) values ('Foundation', 'scifi');
insert into public.books(title, genre_type) values ('Dune', 'scifi');
-- THE FOLLOWING FAILS!!!
select * from public.books
where genre_type in (
select fave_genres from public.reader_profile where id = 2
);
I've tried ...where genre_type = ANY() per other stackoverflow answers as well as ...where genre_type <# () and I can't get anything to work! It seems the inner query (which works) is being return as an array type and not a list of values or something. Any help appreciated!!
I agree with #Hogan that this seems doable with a JOIN but the syntax you are looking for is the following:
SELECT *
FROM books
WHERE genre_type = ANY(ARRAY(SELECT fave_genres FROM reader_profile WHERE id = 2))
;
Demo
Can I suggest using a join instead?
select *
from public.books b
join public.reader_profile fg on b.genre_type = ANY(rp.fave_genres) and fg.id = 2

have a view like this:
Table
The record "NDocumento" is populated only in the first row of a transaction by design. These rows are grouped by the column "NMov" which is the ID.
Since this is a view, I would like to populate each empty "NDocumento" record with the corresponding value contained in the first transaction through a SELECT statement.
As you can see by the picture this is MS-SQL Server 2008, so the lack of LAG makes the game harder.
I would immensely appreciate any help,
thanks
Try this:
SELECT
T1.NDocumento
, T2.NMov
, T2.NRiga
-- , T2. Rest of the fields
FROM NDocumentoTable T1
JOIN NDocumentoTable T2 ON T2.NMov = T1.NMov
WHERE T1.NRiga = 1
I used LAG() over the partition of NMov,Causale by based on your data. You cna change the partition with your requirement. The logic is you get the previous value if the NDocument is empty for the given partition.
CREATE TABLE myTable_1
(
NMov int
,NRiga int
,CodiceAngrafica varchar(100)
,Causale varchar(100)
,DateRegistration date
,DateDocumented date
,NDocument varchar(100)
)
INSERT INTO myTable_1 VALUES (5133, 1, '', 'V05', '01/14/2021', '01/14/2021', 'VI-2100001')
,(5133, 2, '', 'V05', null, null, '')
,(5134, 1, '', 'V05', '01/14/2021', '01/14/2021', 'VI-2100002')
,(5134, 2, '', 'V05', null, null, '')
SELECT
NMov
,NRiga
,CASE WHEN ISNULL(NDocument,'') = ''
THEN LAG(NDocument) OVER (PARTITION BY NMov,Causale ORDER BY NMov)
ELSE NDocument END AS [NDocument]
FROM myTable_1
I am a newbie here.
I am using PostgreSQL to manipulate lots of data in my specific field of research. Unfortunately, I am encountering a problem that is not allowing me to continue my analysis. I tried to simplify my problem to clearly illustrate it.
Let's suppose I have a table called "Buyers" with those data:
table_buyers
The buyers can make ONLY ONE purchase in each store or none. There are three stores and there a table for each one. Just like below:
table_store1
table_store2
table_store3
To create the tables, I am using the following code:
CREATE TABLE public.buyer
(
ID integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name text NOT NULL,
phone text NOT NULL
)
WITH (
OIDS = FALSE
)
;
CREATE TABLE public.Store1
(
ID_buyer integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
total_order numeric NOT NULL,
total_itens integer NOT NULL
)
WITH (
OIDS = FALSE
)
;
CREATE TABLE public.Store2
(
ID_buyer integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
total_order numeric NOT NULL,
total_itens integer NOT NULL
)
WITH (
OIDS = FALSE
)
;
CREATE TABLE public.Store3
(
ID_buyer integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
total_order numeric NOT NULL,
total_itens integer NOT NULL
)
WITH (
OIDS = FALSE
)
;
To add the information on the tables, I am using the following code:
INSERT INTO buyer (ID, name, phone) VALUES
(1, 'Alex', 88888888),
(2, 'Igor', 77777777),
(3, 'Mike', 66666666);
INSERT INTO Store1 (ID_buyer, total_order, total_itens) VALUES
(1, 87.45, 8),
(2, 14.00, 3),
(3, 12.40, 4);
INSERT INTO Store2 (ID_buyer, total_order, total_itens) VALUES
(1, 785.12, 7),
(2, 9874.21, 25);
INSERT INTO Store3 (ID_buyer, total_order, total_itens) VALUES
(2, 45.87, 1);
As all the tables are interconnected by buyer's ID, I wish I could have a query that generates an output just like this:
desired output table.
Please, note that if the buyer did not buy anything in a store, I must print '0'.
I know this is an easy task, but unfortunately, I have been failing on accomplish it.
Using the 'AND' logical operator, I tried the following code to accomplish this task:
SELECT
buyer.id,
buyer.name,
store1.total_order,
store2.total_order,
store3.total_order
FROM
public.buyer,
public.store1,
public.store2,
public.store3
WHERE
buyer.id = store1.id_buyer AND
buyer.id = store2.id_buyer AND
buyer.id = store3.id_buyer;
But, obviously, it just returned 'Igor' as this was the only buyer that have bought items on all three stores (print screen).
Then, I tried the 'OR' logical operator, just like the following code:
SELECT
buyer.id,
buyer.name,
store1.total_order,
store2.total_order,
store3.total_order
FROM
public.buyer,
public.store1,
public.store2,
public.store3
WHERE
buyer.id = store1.id_buyer OR
buyer.id = store2.id_buyer OR
buyer.id = store3.id_buyer;
But then, it returns 12 lines with wrong values (print screen).
Clearly, my mistake is about not considering that 'Buyers' don't have to on all three stores on my code. I just can't correct it on my own, can you please help me?
I appreciate a lot for an answer that can light up my way. Thanks a lot!
Tips about how I can search for this issue are very welcome as well!
Ok. I doubt that this is the final answer for you, but its a start
SELECT
buyer.id,
buyer.name,
COALESCE( gb_store1.total_orders, 0 ) as store1_total,
COALESCE( gb_store2.total_orders, 0 ) as store2_total,
COALESCE( gb_store3.total_orders, 0 ) as store3_total
FROM
public.buyer,
LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT ID_buyer,
SUM( total_orders ) as total_orders,
SUM( total_itens ) as total_itens
FROM public.store1
GROUP BY ID_buyer ) gb_store1 ON gb_store1.id_buyer = buyer.id ,
LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT ID_buyer,
SUM( total_orders ) as total_orders,
SUM( total_itens ) as total_itens
FROM public.store2
GROUP BY ID_buyer ) gb_store2 ON gb_store2.id_buyer = buyer.id ,
LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT ID_buyer,
SUM( total_orders ) as total_orders,
SUM( total_itens ) as total_itens
FROM public.store3
GROUP BY ID_buyer ) gb_store3 ON gb_store3.id_buyer = buyer.id ;
So, this query has a couple elements should focus on. The subselects/groupby allow you to total within your subtables by ID_buyer. The LEFT OUTER JOIN make its so your query can still return a result, even if a subselect finds no matching record. Finally, the COALESCE allows you to return 0 when one of your totals is NULL (because the subselect found no match).
Hope this helps.
There are an alias for "old value" in the ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE?
My real life problem is
INSERT INTO art.validterm (namespace,term,X,info)
SELECT namespace,term,array_agg(Xi), 'etc'
FROM term_raw_Xs
GROUP BY namespace,term
ON CONFLICT (term) DO
UPDATE SET aliases=OLD.X||EXCLUDED.X
WHERE term=EXCLUDED.term
PS: no "OLD" exists, is the question. The parser say that only X is ambigous.
Simply replacing OLD with the name of the table, in your case: validterm, worked for me.
My test:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS work.term_raw;
CREATE TABLE work.term_raw
(
unique_field INT UNIQUE,
x_field TEXT
);
INSERT INTO work.term_raw VALUES (1, 'A');
INSERT INTO work.term_raw VALUES (1, 'B')
ON CONFLICT (unique_field) DO UPDATE SET x_field = term_raw.x_field || EXCLUDED.x_field;
SELECT * FROM work.term_raw;
My result:
I have the following heap of text:
"BundleSize,155648,DynamicSize,204800,Identifier,com.URLConnectionSample,Name,
URLConnectionSample,ShortVersion,1.0,Version,1.0,BundleSize,155648,DynamicSize,
16384,Identifier,com.IdentifierForVendor3,Name,IdentifierForVendor3,ShortVersion,
1.0,Version,1.0,".
What I'd like to do is extract data from this in the following manner:
BundleSize:155648
DynamicSize:204800
Identifier:com.URLConnectionSample
Name:URLConnectionSample
ShortVersion:1.0
Version:1.0
BundleSize:155648
DynamicSize:16384
Identifier:com.IdentifierForVendor3
Name:IdentifierForVendor3
ShortVersion:1.0
Version:1.0
All tips and suggestions are welcome.
It isn't quite clear what do you need to do with this data. If you really need to process it entirely in the database (looks like the task for your favorite scripting language instead), one option is to use hstore.
Converting records one by one is easy:
Assuming
%s =
BundleSize,155648,DynamicSize,204800,Identifier,com.URLConnectionSample,Name,URLConnectionSample,ShortVersion,1.0,Version,1.0
SELECT * FROM each(hstore(string_to_array(%s, ',')));
Output:
key | value
--------------+-------------------------
Name | URLConnectionSample
Version | 1.0
BundleSize | 155648
Identifier | com.URLConnectionSample
DynamicSize | 204800
ShortVersion | 1.0
If you have table with columns exactly matching field names (note the quotes, populate_record is case-sensitive to key names):
CREATE TABLE data (
"BundleSize" integer, "DynamicSize" integer, "Identifier" text,
"Name" text, "ShortVersion" text, "Version" text);
You can insert hstore records into it like this:
INSERT INTO data SELECT * FROM
populate_record(NULL::data, hstore(string_to_array(%s, ',')));
Things get more complicated if you have comma-separated values for more than one record.
%s = BundleSize,155648,DynamicSize,204800,Identifier,com.URLConnectionSample,Name,URLConnectionSample,ShortVersion,1.0,Version,1.0,BundleSize,155648,DynamicSize,16384,Identifier,com.IdentifierForVendor3,Name,IdentifierForVendor3,ShortVersion,1.0,Version,1.0,
You need to break up an array into chunks of number_of_fields * 2 = 12 elements first.
SELECT hstore(row) FROM (
SELECT array_agg(str) AS row FROM (
SELECT str, row_number() OVER () AS i FROM
unnest(string_to_array(%s, ',')) AS str
) AS str_sub
GROUP BY (i - 1) / 12) AS row_sub
WHERE array_length(row, 1) = 12;
Output:
"Name"=>"URLConnectionSample", "Version"=>"1.0", "BundleSize"=>"155648", "Identifier"=>"com.URLConnectionSample", "DynamicSize"=>"204800", "ShortVersion"=>"1.0"
"Name"=>"IdentifierForVendor3", "Version"=>"1.0", "BundleSize"=>"155648", "Identifier"=>"com.IdentifierForVendor3", "DynamicSize"=>"16384", "ShortVersion"=>"1.0"
And inserting this into the aforementioned table:
INSERT INTO data SELECT (populate_record(NULL::data, hstore(row))).* FROM ...
the rest of the query is the same.
There are two inserts in my trigger which is fired by an update. My Vendor_Hist table has a field called thID which is the primary key in Task_History table. thID gets its' value from mySeq.nextval.
INSERT INTO TASK_HISTORY
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
( select mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySeq2.CurrVal, LABOR, tmpVersion
from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_ID );
select mySeq.currval into tmpTHID from dual; -- problem here!
INSERT INTO VENDOR_HIST
( vhID, thID, Amount, Position, version )
( select mySeq3.NEXTVAL, tmpTHID,
Amount, Position, tmpVersion
from vendors v2, tasks t2
where v2.myID = t2.myID
and t2.project_id = :new.project_ID );
Now, my problem is the tmpTHID always the latest value of mySeq.nextVal. So, if thID in task_history is 1,2,3, I get three inserts into vendor_hist table with 3,3,3. It has to be 1,2,3. I also tried
INSERT INTO TASK_HISTORY
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
( select mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySe2.CurrVal, LABOR, tmpVersion
from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_ID ) returning thID into :tmpTHID;
but then I get a "warning compiled with errors" message when I execute the trigger. How do I make sure that the thID in first insert is also the same in my second insert?
Hope it makes sense.
for i in (select * from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_id)
loop
insert into task_history
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
values
(mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySeq2.CurrVal, i.LABOR, i.tmpVersion);
for each j in (select * from vendors v
where i.myId = v.myId)
loop
insert into vendor_history
( vhID, thID, Amount, Position, version )
values
(mySeq3.NEXTVAL, mySeq.CURRVAL, j.Amount, j.Position, j.tmpVersion)
end loop;
end loop;
I'm assuming the columns inserted in the second insert are from the VENDORS table; if not, the referencing cursor (i or j) should be used as appropriate.
Instead of the currVal, it works with the following subselect.
( select min(thID) from task_history t3
where t3.project_id = t2.project_id
and t3.myID = t2.myID
and t3.version = tmpVersion ),
