The same name may appear in multiple rows of table1. I would like to enumerate all names in sequential order 1, 2, ... One way to do so is to
create new table with name as primary key and id as serial type.
Select name from table1 and insert it into table2 only when it doesn't exist
table1 (name vchar(50), ...)
table2 (name vchar(50) primary key, id serial)
insert into table2(name)
select name
from table1 limit 9
where not exists (select name from table2 where name = table1.name)
This doesn't work. How to fix it?
Just select distinct values:
insert into table2(name)
select distinct name
from table1
order by name;

Text datatype of a column in table1 has to be converted to integer datatype in table2 while copying the data. That is 3 categories are there in a column of table1 which has to be converted to integer type like(1, 2,3) in table2
Frist create select sql command from table 1 with the casting column and then create insert statement like this
insert into table2 (categories) select categories ::integer from table1
if you have more then 1 comunm then
insert into table2 (categories,column1) select categories ::integer,column1 from table1
How can I Fetch table data in one query? I have below tables:
Tabel Name: calorieTracker
Creat Table calorieTracker(c_id serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, caloriesConsumption jsonb);
INSERT INTO public."calorieTracker" ("caloriesConsumption")
VALUES ('[{"C_id":"1",,"calorie":88,"date":"19/08/2020"},{"C_id":2,"date":"19/08/2020","calorie":87}]');
Table Name: watertracker
create table watertracker(wt_id serial not null primary key, wt_date varchar, wt_goal float,wt_cid int);
INSERT INTO public.watertracker (wt_id,wt_date,wt_goal,wt_cid)
VALUES (2,'2020-08-19',5.5,2);
What I am looking here I want to write query where date is 19/08/2020(in calorieTracker table and water tracker table) and wt_cid is 2(water tracker table) and c_id is 2(calorieTracker table) then return data.
As you have not mentioned what output you want, so i am assuming you want JSON object from caloriesConsumption which matches the condition mentioned in the question:
based on above assumption try this query:
with cte as (
select
c_id,
jsonb_array_elements("caloriesConsumption") "data"
from "calorieTracker"
)
select
t1.*
from cte t1 inner join watertracker t2
on t2.wt_cid=cast(t1.data->>'c_id' as int)
and t2.wt_date=t1.data->>'date'
if you want the result from watertracker then just replace t1.* with t2.*.
Let's say we have the following table that stores id of an observation and its address_id. You can create the table with the following code:
drop table if exists schema.pl_address_cnt;
create table schema.pl_address_cnt (
id serial,
address_id int);
insert into schema.pl_address_cnt(address_id) values
(100), (101), (100), (101), (100), (125), (128), (200), (200), (100);
My task is to count for each id how many other ids (thus -1) have the same address_id. I've come up with a solution that turns out to be quite expensive (explain) on the original dataset. I wonder whether my solution can be somehow optimised.
with tmp_table as (select address_id
, count(distinct id) as id_count
from schema.pl_address_cnt
group by address_id
)
select id
, id_count - 1
from schema.pl_address_cnt as pac
left join tmp_table as tt on tt.address_id=pac.address_id;
You can try to omit the CTE and do a self left join on common address but different ID and then aggregate this.
SELECT pac1.id,
count(pac2.id)
FROM pl_address_cnt pac1
LEFT JOIN pl_address_cnt pac2
ON pac1.address_id = pac2.address_id
AND pac1.id <> pac2.id
GROUP BY pac1.id
ORDER BY pac1.id;
For performance you can try indexes on (address_id, id) and (id).
I need to copy content from one table to itself and related tables... Let me schematize the problem. Let's say I have two tables:
Order
OrderID : int
CustomerID : int
OrderName : nvarchar(32)
OrderItem
OrderItemID : int
OrderID : int
Quantity : int
With the PK being autoincremental.
Let's say I want to duplicate the content of one customer to another. How do I do that efficiently?
The problem are the PKs. I would need to map the values of OrderIDs from the original set of data to the copy in order to create proper references in OrderItem. If I just select-Insert, I won't be able to create that map.
Suggestions?
For duplicating one parent and many children with identities as the keys, I think the OUTPUT clause can make things pretty clean (SqlFiddle here):
-- Make a duplicate of parent 1, including children
-- Setup some test data
create table Parents (
ID int not null primary key identity
, Col1 varchar(10) not null
, Col2 varchar(10) not null
)
insert into Parents (Col1, Col2) select 'A', 'B'
insert into Parents (Col1, Col2) select 'C', 'D'
insert into Parents (Col1, Col2) select 'E', 'F'
create table Children (
ID int not null primary key identity
, ParentID int not null references Parents (ID)
, Col1 varchar(10) not null
, Col2 varchar(10) not null
)
insert into Children (ParentID, Col1, Col2) select 1, 'g', 'h'
insert into Children (ParentID, Col1, Col2) select 1, 'i', 'j'
insert into Children (ParentID, Col1, Col2) select 2, 'k', 'l'
insert into Children (ParentID, Col1, Col2) select 3, 'm', 'n'
-- Get one parent to copy
declare #oldID int = 1
-- Create a place to store new ParentID
declare #newID table (
ID int not null primary key
)
-- Create new parent
insert into Parents (Col1, Col2)
output inserted.ID into #newID -- Capturing the new ParentID
select Col1, Col2
from Parents
where ID = #oldID -- Only one parent
-- Create new children using the new ParentID
insert into Children (ParentID, Col1, Col2)
select n.ID, c.Col1, c.Col2
from Children c
cross join #newID n
where c.ParentID = #oldID -- Only one parent
-- Show some output
select * from Parents
select * from Children
Do you have to have the primary keys from table A as primaries in Table B? If not you can do a select statement with an insert into. Primary Key's are usually int's that start from an ever increasing seed (identity). Going around this and declaring an insert of this same data problematically has the disadvantage of someone thinking this is a distinct key set on this table and not a 'relationship' or foreign key value.
You can Select Primary Key's for inserts into other tables, just not themselves.... UNLESS you set the 'identity insert on' hint. Do not do this unless you know what this does as you can create more problems than it's worth if you don't understand the ramifications.
I would just do the ole:
insert into TableB
select *
from TableA
where (criteria)
Simple example (This assumes SQL Server 2008 or higher). My bad I did not see you did not list TSQL framework. Not sure if this will run on Oracle or MySql.
declare #Order Table ( OrderID int identity primary key, person varchar(8));
insert into #Order values ('Brett'),('John'),('Peter');
declare #OrderItem Table (orderItemID int identity primary key, OrderID int, OrderInfo varchar(16));
insert into #OrderItem
select
OrderID -- I can insert a primary key just fine
, person + 'Stuff'
from #Order
select *
from #Order
Select *
from #OrderItem
Add an extra helper column to Order called OldOrderID
Copy all the Order's from the #OldCustomerID to the #NewCustomerID
Copy all of the OrderItems using the OldOrderID column to help make the relation
Remove the extra helper column from Order
ALTER TABLE Order ADD OldOrderID INT NULL
INSERT INTO Order (CustomerID, OrderName, OldOrderID)
SELECT #NewCustomerID, OrderName, OrderID
FROM Order
WHERE CustomerID = #OldCustomerID
INSERT INTO OrderItem (OrderID, Quantity)
SELECT o.OrderID, i.Quantity
FROM Order o INNER JOIN OrderItem i ON o.OldOrderID = i.OrderID
WHERE o.CustomerID = #NewCustomerID
UPDATE Order SET OldOrderID = null WHERE OldOrderID IS NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE Order DROP COLUMN OldOrderID
IF the OrderName is unique per customer, you could simply do:
INSERT INTO [Order] ([CustomerID], [OrderName])
SELECT
2 AS [CustomerID],
[OrderName]
FROM [Order]
WHERE [CustomerID] = 1
INSERT INTO [OrderItem] ([OrderID], [Quantity])
SELECT
[o2].[OrderID],
[oi1].[Quantity]
FROM [OrderItem] [oi1]
INNER JOIN [Order] [o1] ON [oi1].[OrderID] = [o1].[OrderID]
INNER JOIN [Order] [o2] ON [o1].[OrderName] = [o2].[OrderName]
WHERE [o1].[CustomerID] = 1 AND [o2].[CustomerID] = 2
Otherwise, you will have to use a temporary table or alter the existing Order table like #LastCoder suggested.
I have two tables, where they have the same ID name (I cannot change the way the tables are designed) and I'm trying to query table2's ID, how would I do this when they are joined?
create table table1(
id integer, -- PG: serial
description MediumString not null,
primary key (id)
);
create table table2 (
id integer, -- PG: serial
tid references table1(id),
primary key (id)
);
So basically when they're joined, two columns will have the same name "id" if I do the following query
select * from table1
join table2 on table1.id = table2.tid;
Alias the columns if you want both "id"s
SELECT table1.id AS id1, table2.id AS id2
FROM table1...
If you want to query all * on both tables but still be able to reference a specific id you can do that too, you will end up with duplicate id columns that you probably won't use, but in some situations if you really need all the data, it's worth it.
select table1.*, table2.*, table1.id as 'table1.id', table2.id as 'table2.id'
from ...
You cannot select it using select *.
try this :
select table1.id, table1.description, table2.id, table2.tid
from table1
inner join table2
on table1.id = table2.tid
