I'm trying to get the sum of the total time that was spent sending all emails within a campaign.
Because of the joins in my query I end up with the 'processing_time' column duplicated over many rows. So running sum(s.processing_time) as send_time will always over represent how long it took to run.
select
c.id,
c.sender,
c.subject,
count(*) as total_items,
count(distinct s.id) as sends,
sum(s.processing_time) as send_time,
from campaigns c
left join sends s on c.id = s.campaigns_id
left join opens o on s.id = o.sends_id
group by c.id;
I'd ideally like to do something like sum(s.processing_time when distinct s.id) but I can't quite work out how to achieve that.
I have made other attempts using case but I always run into the same issue, I need to get the distinct rows based on the ID column, but work with another column.
Since you want statistics related to distinct s.id as well as c.id, group by both columns. Collect the (intermediate) data that you need,
and use this table as the inner table in a nested sub-select query.
In the outer select, group by c.id alone.
Since the inner select groups by s.id, values which are unique per s.id will not get double-counted when you sum/group by c.id.
SELECT id
, sender
, subject
, sum(total_items) as total_items
, sum(sends) as sends
, sum(processing_time) as send_time
FROM (
SELECT
c.id
, s.id as sid
, count(*) as total_items
, 1 as sends
, s.processing_time
, c.sender
, c.subject
FROM campaigns c
LEFT JOIN sends s on c.id = s.campaigns_id
LEFT JOIN opens o on s.id = o.sends_id
GROUP BY c.id, c.sender, c.subject, s.processing_time, s.id) t
GROUP BY id, sender, subject
ORDER BY id
Since the final table includes sender and subject, you'll need to group by these columns as well to avoid an error such as:
ERROR: column "c.sender" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 14: , c.sender

I am trying to calculate a percentile using the percentile_cont() function in PostgreSQL using common table expressions. The goal is find the top 1% of accounts regards to their balances (called amount here). My logic is to find the 99th percentile which will return those whose account balances are greater than 99% of their peers (and thus finding the 1 percenters)
Here is my query
--ranking subquery works fine
with ranking as(
select a.lname,sum(c.amount) as networth from customer a
inner join
account b on a.customerid=b.customerid
inner join
transaction c on b.accountid=c.accountid
group by a.lname order by sum(c.amount)
)
select lname, networth, percentile_cont(0.99) within group
order by networth over (partition by lname) from ranking ;
I keeping getting the following error.
ERROR: syntax error at or near "order"
LINE 2: ...ame, networth, percentile_cont(0.99) within group order by n..
I am thinking that perhaps I forgot a closing brace etc. but I can't seem to figure out where. I know it could be something with the order keyword but I am not sure what to do. Can you please help me to fix this error?
This tripped me up, too.
It turns out percentile_cont is not supported in postgres 9.3, only in 9.4+.

So you have to use something like this:
with ordered_purchases as (
select
price,
row_number() over (order by price) as row_id,
(select count(1) from purchases) as ct
from purchases
)
select avg(price) as median
from ordered_purchases
where row_id between ct/2.0 and ct/2.0 + 1
That query care of https://www.periscopedata.com/blog/medians-in-sql (section: "Median on Postgres")
You are missing the brackets in the within group (order by x) part.
Try this:
with ranking
as (
select a.lname,
sum(c.amount) as networth
from customer a
inner join account b on a.customerid = b.customerid
inner join transaction c on b.accountid = c.accountid
group by a.lname
order by networth
)
select lname,
networth,
percentile_cont(0.99) within group (
order by networth
) over (partition by lname)
from ranking;
I want to point out that you don't need a subquery for this:
select c.lname, sum(t.amount) as networth,
percentile_cont(0.99) within group (order by sum(t.amount)) over (partition by lname)
from customer c inner join
account a
on c.customerid = a.customerid inner join
transaction t
on a.accountid = t.accountid
group by c.lname
order by networth;
Also, when using table aliases (which should be always), table abbreviations are much easier to follow than arbitrary letters.
I have the following subquery.
In the end i want to count for every agent for all this users the controllers.
So in the substring i count the controllers for all the agent his users and
then i want to sum them up.
The substring itself is running, however i get this error when i run the complete query
ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "sub"
LINE 2: a.id as a_id, SUM(sub.c_count ) as c_count,
SELECT
a.id as a_id, SUM(sub.c_count ) AS c_count,
(
SELECT u.id, COUNT(c.user_id) AS c_amount
FROM users u
JOIN controllers c ON (c.user_id = u.id)
GROUP BY
u.id
)sub
from agents a;
You are getting this error because the subquery which you have aliased as sub returns not only multiple records, but also multiple values per record, but it appears in the SELECT list. Generally, only scalars (single values) or subqueries which return a single value can appear in the SELECT list. You have two options, you can either modify sub to return a single value, or you can try to join this subauery to the outer query. Given that you mentioned the subquery is supposed to do some aggregation for each user or agent, my guess is that joining is the answer. In the query below I join sub to the outer query on the agent ID matching the user ID from sub.
SELECT a.id AS a_id,
COALESCE(sub.c_amount, 0) AS c_count
FROM agents a
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT u.id, COUNT(c.user_id) AS c_amount
FROM users u
INNER JOIN controllers c
ON c.user_id = u.id
GROUP BY u.id
) sub
ON a.id = sub.id
I have a difficulty dealing with a SQL query. I use PostgreSQL.
The query says: Show the customers that have done at least an order that contains products from 3 different categories. The result will be 2 columns, CustomerID, and the amount of orders. I have written this code but I don't think it's correct.
select SalesOrderHeader.CustomerID,
count(SalesOrderHeader.SalesOrderID) AS amount_of_orders
from SalesOrderHeader
inner join SalesOrderDetail on
(SalesOrderHeader.SalesOrderID=SalesOrderDetail.SalesOrderID)
inner join Product on
(SalesOrderDetail.ProductID=Product.ProductID)
where SalesOrderDetail.SalesOrderDetailID in
(select DISTINCT count(ProductCategoryID)
from Product
group by ProductCategoryID
having count(DISTINCT ProductCategoryID)>=3)
group by SalesOrderHeader.CustomerID;
Here are the database tables needed for the query:
where SalesOrderDetail.SalesOrderDetailID in
(select DISTINCT count(ProductCategoryID)
Is never going to give you a result as an ID (SalesOrderDetailID) will never logically match a COUNT (count(ProductCategoryID)).
This should get you the output I think you want.
SELECT soh.CustomerID, COUNT(soh.SalesOrderID) AS amount_of_orders
FROM SalesOrderHeader soh
INNER JOIN SalesOrderDetail sod ON soh.SalesOrderID = sod.SalesOrderID
INNER JOIN Product p ON sod.ProductID = p.ProductID
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT p.ProductCategoryID) >= 3
GROUP BY soh.CustomerID
Try this :
select CustomerID,count(*) as amount_of_order from
SalesOrder join
(
select SalesOrderID,count(distinct ProductCategoryID) CategoryCount
from SalesOrderDetail JOIN Product using (ProductId)
group by 1
) CatCount using (SalesOrderId)
group by 1
having bool_or(CategoryCount>=3) -- At least on CategoryCount>=3
I need to select some settings from some joined tables, but only if Items ORDER BY EndTime DESC ItemID is among first 1000 Items.
Do do this I built the following Query that, although surely can be improved, works:
SELECT ss.ModuleCode, ss.MaxItems , w.*
FROM Subscriptions ss
JOIN Sellers s ON s.UID=ss.UID
JOIN Items i ON s.UserID=i.UserID
JOIN Items ii ON i.ItemID=ii.ItemID
JOIN Modules mo ON ss.ModuleCode=mo.ModuleCode
JOIN Settings w ON w.UID=s.UID AND ss.ModuleCode=w.WCode
FULL JOIN GoogleFonts f ON f.FontCode=a.FontFamily
JOIN ( SELECT
ItemID
FROM Items
WHERE UserID=#UserID
ORDER BY EndTime DESC
OFFSET 0 ROWS
FETCH FIRST (1000) ROWS ONLY
) it ON it.ItemID=i.ItemID
WHERE it.ItemID=#ItemID
AND .....
but since MaxItems is not always 1000 and its value is defined by ss.MaxItems,
I would replace the fixed value of 1000 with the dynamic value of ss.MaxItems, but I haven't find a way to do it:
Although not optimal since makes the query much heavier, I tried putting instead of 1000 a further query with this result:
SELECT ss.ModuleCode, ss.MaxItems , w.*
FROM Subscriptions ss
JOIN Sellers s ON s.UID=ss.UID
JOIN Items i ON s.UserID=i.UserID
JOIN Items ii ON i.ItemID=ii.ItemID
JOIN Modules mo ON ss.ModuleCode=mo.ModuleCode
JOIN Settings w ON w.UID=s.UID AND ss.ModuleCode=w.WCode
FULL JOIN GoogleFonts f ON f.FontCode=a.FontFamily
JOIN ( SELECT
ItemID
FROM Items
WHERE UserID=#UserID
ORDER BY EndTime DESC
OFFSET 0 ROWS
FETCH FIRST ( SELECT ss.MaxItems
FROM Subscriptions ss
JOIN Sellers s ON s.UID=ss.UID
JOIN Items i ON s.UserID=i.UserID
JOIN Modules mo ON ss.ModuleCode=mo.ModuleCode
JOIN Settings w ON w.UID=s.UID AND ss.ModuleCode=w.WCode
WHERE i.ItemID=#ItemID) ROWS ONLY
) it ON it.ItemID=i.ItemID
Where it.ItemID=#ItemID
AND .....
but since this returns more than 1 value it is not accepted: limiting to TOP 1 result the latest subquery will work but will not be fully dynamic as required.
Can suggest how to solve or at least suggest the path for the solution?
Thanks!
Instead of fetch use row_number:
JOIN (SELECT ItemID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserID ORDER BY EndTime) as seqnum
FROM Items it
WHERE UserID = #UserID
) it
ON it.ItemID = i.ItemID AND seqnum <= ss.maxitems
I'm having some trouble trying to get Microsoft Access 2007 to accept my SQL query but it keeps throwing syntax errors at me that don't help me correct the problem.
I have two tables, let's call them Customers and Orders for ease.
I need some customer details, but also a few details from the most recent order. I currently have a query like this:
SELECT c.ID, c.Name, c.Address, o.ID, o.Date, o.TotalPrice
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN Orders o
ON c.ID = o.CustomerID
AND o.ID = (SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Orders WHERE CustomerID = c.ID ORDER BY Date DESC)
To me, it appears valid, but Access keeps throwing 'syntax error's at me and when I hit OK, it selects a piece of the SQL text that doesn't even relate to it.
If I take the extra SELECT clause out it works but is obviously not what I need.
Any ideas?
You cannot use AND in that way in MS Access, change it to WHERE. In addition, you have two reserved words in your column (field) names - Name, Date. These should be enclosed in square brackets when not prefixed by a table name or alias, or better, renamed.
SELECT c.ID, c.Name, c.Address, o.ID, o.Date, o.TotalPrice
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN Orders o
ON c.ID = o.CustomerID
WHERE o.ID = (
SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Orders
WHERE CustomerID = c.ID ORDER BY [Date] DESC)
I worked out how to do it in Microsoft Access. You INNER JOIN on a pre-sorted sub-query. That way you don't have to do multiple ON conditions which aren't supported.
SELECT c.ID, c.Name, c.Address, o.OrderNo, o.OrderDate, o.TotalPrice
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM Orders ORDER BY OrderDate DESC) o
ON c.ID = o.CustomerID
How efficient this is another story, but it works...
