assume you have a table
tbl:([] id:("123"; ""; "invalid"))
And want to parse this string into a number.
Invalid values - in the example above, both the empty string "" as well as the value "invalid", should be parsed to null (0Nj).
How can you best do it? My initial approach was
select id:.[value;;0Nj] each enlist each id from tbl
But while that will parse the both the "123" as well as "invalid" entries correctly, it will return the unary operator :: instead of null when trying to parse the row with the empty string.
Of course I could do something like
select id:.[value;;0Nj] each enlist each id from update id:string (count id)#`invalid from tbl where id like ""
but this seems kind of.. ugly/inefficient. Is there any better way to do this?
Thanks
Try "J"$ to cast the column
q)select "J"$id from tbl
id
---
123

how about just cast it to long?
q)update id:"J"$id from `tbl
`tbl
q)select from tbl where not null id
id
---
123

I have a field payload saved in a postgresql table which is json type. This type has a nested field subcategory which is string. Below is the output of this value:
=> select payload->'subcategory' from "Merchant";
?column?
-------------------------------
"Food"
null
"AUTOMOTIVE"
null
"MEDICAL"
null
null
"CLUB"
"Petrol Stations"
However, I can't put this field in the where clause. Below query returns 0 rows. But from above output it shows there are rows whose value is CLUB. What is the right way to use json field in where clause?
=> select count(*) from "Merchant" where ("payload"->'subcategory')::text = 'CLUB';
count
-------
0
Figured out what's wrong, I need to use ->> in the where like "payload"->'subcategory'.
that because ->> converts it to text while -> makes it as JSONB
An alternative solution is to use the JSON contains operator #>:
select count(*)
from "Merchant"
where payload #> '{"subcategory": "CLUB")';
I have this type of string in the field of my table.
type_no
2345-ABC-3210002478
and I want to select only the last 10 digits number of the string, I expect it would be:
type_no_id
3210002478
how can I do this in PostgreSQL?
Thanks in advance
Use RIGHT() for getting desired output.
SELECT RIGHT('2345-ABC-3210002478', 10) type_no_id
If using column of a table then follow the below example
create table test (type_no varchar(100));
insert into test values ('2345-ABC-3210002478');
SELECT RIGHT(type_no, 10) type_no_id
FROM test
Is there a way to check if a character varying type column contains only digits or null values with Postgresql?
Maybe something like (this syntax is incorrect):
SELECT *
FROM mytable
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN mycol ~ '^[0-9\.]+$' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
LIMIT 1
I'm expecting TRUE or FALSE as final result for the whole column.
If you want to to know if the values in all rows are digits, you can use
select not exists (select *
from mytable
where not (mycol ~ '^[0-9\.]+$'))
Online example
To get Nulls use COALESCE(mycol, 1) -- will return 1 if the value in mycol is NULL.
For checking numerics you could use regex LIKE'^[0-9]*' it wont detect decimal dots (dont know if your data have decimals)
BR!
original query looks like this :
UPDATE reponse_question_finale t1, reponse_question_finale t2 SET
t1.nb_question_repondu = (9-(ISNULL(t1.valeur_question_4)+ISNULL(t1.valeur_question_6)+ISNULL(t1.valeur_question_7)+ISNULL(t1.valeur_question_9))) WHERE t1.APPLICATION = t2.APPLICATION;
I know you cannot update 2 tables in a single query so i tried this :
UPDATE reponse_question_finale t1
SET nb_question_repondu = (9-(COALESCE(t1.valeur_question_4,'')::int+COALESCE(t1.valeur_question_6,'')::int+COALESCE(t1.valeur_question_7)::int+COALESCE(t1.valeur_question_9,'')::int))
WHERE t1.APPLICATION = t1.APPLICATION;
But this query gaves me an error : invalid input syntax for integer: ""
I saw that the Postgres equivalent to MySQL is COALESCE() so i think i'm on the good way here.
I also know you cannot add varchar to varchar so i tried to cast it to integer to do that. I'm not sure if i casted it correctly with parenthesis at the good place and regarding to error maybe i cannot cast to int with coalesce.
Last thing, i can certainly do a co-related sub-select to update my two tables but i'm a little lost at this point.
The output must be an integer matching the number of questions answered to a backup survey.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
coalesce() returns the first non-null value from the list supplied. So, if the column value is null the expression COALESCE(t1.valeur_question_4,'') returns an empty string and that's why you get the error.
But it seems you want something completely different: you want check if the column is null (or empty) and then subtract a value if it is to count the number of non-null columns.
To return 1 if a value is not null or 0 if it isn't you can use:
(nullif(valeur_question_4, '') is null)::int
nullif returns null if the first value equals the second. The IS NULL condition returns a boolean (something that MySQL doesn't have) and that can be cast to an integer (where false will be cast to 0 and true to 1)
So the whole expression should be:
nb_question_repondu = 9 - (
(nullif(t1.valeur_question_4,'') is null)::int
+ (nullif(t1.valeur_question_6,'') is null)::int
+ (nullif(t1.valeur_question_7,'') is null)::int
+ (nullif(t1.valeur_question_9,'') is null)::int
)
Another option is to unpivot the columns and do a select on them in a sub-select:
update reponse_question_finale
set nb_question_repondu = (select count(*)
from (
values
(valeur_question_4),
(valeur_question_6),
(valeur_question_7),
(valeur_question_9)
) as t(q)
where nullif(trim(q),'') is not null);
Adding more columns to be considered is quite easy then, as you just need to add a single line to the values() clause
My query is something like this. I try to get a status for a list of ids.
select order_number, order_status_name
from data.order_fact s
join data.order_status_dim l
on s.order_status_key = l.order_status_key
where
order_number in (1512011196169,1512011760019,1512011898493,1512011972111)
I get an error though that says:
ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying = bigint
LINE 6: order_number in (1512011196169,1512011760019,1512011898493,1...
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.
Do you have any clue on how I should reform the ids to get it work?
Thanks a lot!
Your order_number is a varchar, you can't compare that to a number (123 is a number in SQL, '123' is a string constant)
You need to use string literals:
order_number in ('1512011196169','1512011760019','1512011898493','1512011972111')
More details in the manual:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-CONSTANTS
If you can't change the type of numbers within in, you could use cast:
select * from numbers_as_string
where cast(my_numbers_as_string as int) in (1,2,3)
This happen too when you are using native query in sprinboot and you are passing a parameter as string but that field is a (integer or long) in your model/entity, also when you are comparing a string with a integer due that param is used like string without casting.
so you should cast it as integer in the native query like this
x\:\:integer
for example:
#Query(value="
......
.....
inner join tablex t on t.x\\:\\:integer = pv.id \n"+
....
....
")
List<Object> getMyQuery(#Param("x") String x)
