QueryDSL coalesce in order by - jpa

I'm trying to join two tables and output them and sort them alphabetically by two fields like order by coalesce(tableA.name, tableB.name) (NOT order by tableA.name, tableB.name), so result should be something like:
tableA.name tableB.name
A null
B null
null C
D null
null E
In plain SQL it works fine but when I try to do it with QueryDSL it adds additional column to generated select statement and sorts only by first specified column:
//java code
query.orderBy(qTableA.name.coalesce(qTableB.name).asc());
//generated sql code
SELECT ...
COALESCE(tablea_.NAME, tableb_.NAME) AS col_9_0_
FROM ...
WHERE ...
ORDER BY tablea1_.NAME ASC
Can somebody tell why it does it like that and whether it is possible to make it work as I expect?


Try this:
final Coalesce<String> coalesce =
new Coalesce<>(String.class).add(optionalA).add(optionalB);
Use the coalesce in your select fields and so in your order by clause:
.orderBy(coalesce.asc()) // or desc()

postgres case statement with subquery

I have a subquery like this
with subquery as (select host from table_A where << some condition >>)
and in my main query, I am querying data from another table called table_B, and one of the columns is called destination_host. Now I need to check if the destination_host is in the list returned from my subquery, then I want to output TypeA in my select statement or else TypeB. My select statement looks something like
select name, place, destination_host
from table_B
where <<some condition>>
I want to output a fourth column that is based on a condition check, let's say we call this host_category and if the destination_host value exists in the subquery then I want to add value typeA or else typeB. Please can you help me understand how to write this. I understand that it is hard to provide guidance if you don't have actual data to work with.
I tried using case statements such as this one:
when (destination_host in (select host from subquery)) THEN 'typeA'
when (destination_host not in (select host from subquery)) THEN 'typeB'
end as host_category
but I don't think this is the way to solve this problem.

I would use EXISTS:
WITH subquery AS (...)
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM subquery
WHERE subquery.host = table_b.destination_host)
THEN 'typeA'
ELSE 'typeB'
END
FROM table_b;
With queries like that, you have to take care of NULL values. If table_b.destination_host is NULL, the row will always show up as typeB, because NULL = NULL is not TRUE in SQL.

PostgreSQL query with unnest returns no result row for null values

I am trying to query the values that divides comma separated values in a column as different records ,I could not get the values if the column has null values, Below is the example
Table name: test
id,name,list
1,a, a1,b1
2,b, null
3,c,c1
Query which is used
select id,name,unnest(string_to_array(list,',')) from test;
Result:
1,a,a1
1,a,b1
3,c,c1
But I need to consider the null values and return the result as below ,I tried using coalesce but that did not work, kindly help me out with the solution
Expected result:
1,a,a1
1,a,b1
2,b,null
3,c,c1

Use unnest() with an outer join:
select t.id, t.name, u.element
from test t
left join unnest(string_to_array(t.list,',')) on true
order by t.id;

how to call spring jap query none parameters

I use spring data jpa with native query
I have already some query like this
How to use native query none parameter.
String q="SELECT t1.blockNumber-1 FROM someTAble t1 LEFT JOIN someTAble t2 ON t2.blockNumber = t1.blockNumber-1 WHERE t2.blockNumber IS NULL AND t1.blockNumber> 0 ORDER BY t1.blockNumber";
#Query(value = q,nativeQuery = true)
List<Entity> findByBlockNumberIs();
they are occur errors Column 'sequence' not found.
That query means are when i insert some Contiguous data int value then i find missing data.
But
this query working
SELECT *,t1.blockNumber-1 FROM someTAble t1 LEFT JOIN someTAble t2 ON t2.blockNumber = t1.blockNumber-1 WHERE t2.blockNumber IS NULL AND t1.blockNumber> 0 ORDER BY t1.blockNumber
The difference between the two queries is whether there is a '*' or not

QEntity qBe1= QEntity .blockEntity;
QEntity qBe2= QEntity .blockEntity;
build.and(qBe2.blockNumber.eq(be.getBlockNumber()-1))

is predicate can use left join?

well...
use this.
List<Integer> findByBlockNumber()

NULL values in NOT NULL expression

I have this ID column coming as NULL even though I have put a NOT NULL expression. It's not any empty string issue or any special character issue because I tried using this expression:
AND COALESCE(SYSTEM_ID,ASSET_NUMBER,SERIAL_NUMBER,'X') <>'X'
In my where clause (same in select) and X comes in output, why is this happening - I have provided sample select code. I am able to solve it by putting the filter in Having clause or using an outer query
SELECT COALESCE(COL1,COL2,COL3) AS ID,
COL4,
...
COL16
FROM TABLE
WHERE COALESCE(COL1,COL2,COL3) IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
COL4,
...
COL16

oracle: grouping on merged columns

I have a 2 tables FIRST
id,rl_no,adm_date,fees
1,123456,14-11-10,100
2,987654,10-11-12,30
3,4343,14-11-17,20
and SECOND
id,rollno,fare,type
1,123456,20,bs
5,634452,1000,bs
3,123456,900,bs
4,123456,700,bs
My requirement is twofold,
1, i first need to get all columns from both tables with common rl_no. So i used:
SELECT a.ID,a.rl_no,a.adm_date,a.fees,b.rollno,b.fare,b.type FROM FIRST a
INNER JOIN
SECOND b ON a.rl_no = b.rollno
The output is like this:
id,rl_no,adm_date,fees,rollno,fare,type
1,123456,14-11-10,100,123456,20,bs
1,123456,10-11-12,100,123456,900,bs
1,123456,14-11-17,100,123456,700,bs
2,Next i wanted to get the sum(fare) of those rollno that were common between the 2 tables and also whose fare >= fees from FIRST table group by rollno and id.
My query is:
SELECT x.ID,x.rl_no,,x.adm_date,x.fees,x.rollno,x.type,sum(x.fare) as "fare" from (SELECT a.ID,a.rl_no,a.adm_date,a.fees,b.rollno,b.fare,b.type FROM FIRST a
INNER JOIN
SECOND b ON a.rl_no = b.rollno) x, FIRST y
WHERE x.rollno = y.rl_no AND x.fare >= y.fees AND x.type IS NOT NULL GROUP BY x.rollno,x.ID ;
But this is throwing in exceptions.
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
00979. 00000 - "not a GROUP BY expression"
The expected output will be like this:
id,rollno,adm_date,fare,type
1,123456,14-11-10,1620,bs
So could someone care to show an oracle newbie what i'm doing wrong here?

It looks like there's a couple different problems here;
Firstly, you're trying to group by an x.ID column which doesn't exist; it looks like you'll want to add ID to the selected columns in your sub-query.
Secondly, when aggregating with GROUP BY, all selected columns need to be either listed in the GROUP BY statement or aggregated. If you're grouping by rollno and ID, what do you want to have happen to all the extra values for adm_date, fees, and type? Are those always going to be the same for each distinct rollno and ID pair?
If so, simply add them to the GROUP BY statement, ie,
GROUP BY adm_date, fees, type, rollno, ID
If not, you'll need to work out exactly how you want to select which one to be output; If you've got output like your example (adding in an ID column here)
ID,adm_date,fees,rollno,fare,type
1,14-11-10,100,123456,20,bs
1,10-11-12,100,123456,900,bs
1,14-11-17,100,123456,700,bs
Call that result set 'a'. If I run;
SELECT a.ID, a.rollno, SUM(a.fare) as total_fare
FROM a
GROUP BY a.ID, a.rollno
Then the result will be a single row;
ID,rollno,total_fare
1,123456,1620
So, if you also select the adm_date, fees, and type columns, oracle has no idea what you mean to do with them. You're not using them for grouping, and you're not telling oracle how you want to pick which one to use.
You could do something like
SELECT a.ID,
FIRST(a.adm_date) as first_adm_date,
FIRST(a.fees) as first_fees,
a.rollno,
SUM(a.fare) as total_fare,
FIRST(a.type) as first_type
FROM a
GROUP BY a.ID, a.rollno
Which would give the result;
ID,first_adm_date,first_fees,rollno,total_fare,first_type
1,14-11-10,100,123456,1620,bs
I'm not sure if that's what you mean to do though.
