ERROR: function coalerse(bigint, integer) does not exist - postgresql

I have this query, where I want to return zero values instead of null ones.
create view ct as
select userid, coalerse(count(tweets), 0) as nooftweets, coalerse(count(distinct mention), 0) as mention
from (
select t.user_id as userid, t.id as tweets, m.mentionedusers_id as mention, row_number() over (partition by m.tweet_id order by m.mentionedusers_id
) rn
from "tweet_mentUsers" m right join tweet t on m.tweet_id = t.id where text like '#%') a where rn <= 2 group by 1
However I get this error message:
ERROR: function coalerse(bigint, integer) does not exist
LINE 2: select userid, coalerse(nooftweets, 0), coalerse(mention, 0)...
^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
Do you have any idea?

I think the COALESCE function will do what you want.
create view ct as
select userid, coalesce(count(tweets), 0) as nooftweets, coalesce(count(distinct mention), 0) as mention
from (
select t.user_id as userid, t.id as tweets, m.mentionedusers_id as mention, row_number() over (partition by m.tweet_id order by m.mentionedusers_id
) rn
from "tweet_mentUsers" m right join tweet t on m.tweet_id = t.id where text like '#%') a where rn <= 2 group by 1

Selecting the 1st and 10th Records Only

Have a table with 3 columns: ID, Signature, and Datetime, and it's grouped by Signature Having Count(*) > 9.
select * from (
select s.Signature
from #Sigs s
group by s.Signature
having count(*) > 9
) b
join #Sigs o
on o.Signature = b.Signature
order by o.Signature desc, o.DateTime
I now want to select the 1st and 10th records only, per Signature. What determines rank is the Datetime descending. Thus, I would expect every Signature to have 2 rows.
Thanks,
I would go with a couple of common table expressions.
The first will select all records from the table as well as a count of records per signature, and the second one will select from the first where the record count > 9 and add row_number partitioned by signature - and then just select from that where the row_number is either 1 or 10:
With cte1 AS
(
SELECT ID, Signature, Datetime, COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY Signature) As NumberOfRows
FROM #Sigs
), cte2 AS
(
SELECT ID, Signature, Datetime, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Signature ORDER BY DateTime DESC) As Rn
FROM cte1
WHERE NumberOfRows > 9
)
SELECT ID, Signature, Datetime
FROM cte2
WHERE Rn IN (1, 10)
ORDER BY Signature desc
Because I don't know what your data looks like, this might need some adjustment.
The simplest way here, since you already know your sort order (DateTime DESC) and partitioning (Signature), is probably to assign row numbers and then select the rows you want.
SELECT *
FROM
(
select o.Signature
,o.DateTime
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY o.Signature ORDER BY o.DateTime DESC) [Row]
from (
select s.Signature
from #Sigs s
group by s.Signature
having count(*) > 9
) b
join #Sigs o
on o.Signature = b.Signature
order by o.Signature desc, o.DateTime
)
WHERE [Row] IN (1,10)

postgres JOIN with left table null

my query is:
SELECT main.group_id, s_ref.title, s_ref.username, main.m_per_group, main.pos, u.lang
FROM (
SELECT user_id, group_id, COUNT(user_id) AS m_per_group,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY group_id
ORDER BY COUNT(group_id) DESC
) AS pos
FROM messages
WHERE message_date > date_trunc('week', now())
GROUP BY group_id, user_id
) AS main
LEFT OUTER JOIN supergroups_ref AS s_ref
USING (group_id)
RIGHT JOIN users AS u
ON u.user_id = main.user_id
WHERE main.user_id = %s
ORDER BY m_per_group DESC
the problem is that when main returns 0 elements, i don't get neither the language of the user of the users JOIN but i get exactly []
i instead would like to get [(None, None, None, None, 'en')] this is why i used a right join. How can i get the result i want?
Move this condition:
WHERE main.user_id = %s
To the main subquery:
WHERE message_date > date_trunc('week', now()) and main.user_id = %s
The way it is now it is turning an outer join into an inner join.

tsql - Group By on computed columns

Please advice on a better way to do this.
I am sure this can be done in one query itself.
declare #tempTale table (ID bigint, ArticleDate datetime,CommentDate
datetime,MostRecentDate datetime)
declare #MinDate datetime;
set #MinDate = getdate();
set #MinDate = DATEADD(YEAR,-100,#MinDate)
insert into #tempTale
select USER_ARTICLEID, User_Article.CREATED_ON, coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate),
case when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON else comment.CREATED_ON end as MostRecentDate
from User_Article left join Comment on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
order by MostRecentDate desc
select distinct top 10 ID,MAX(MostRecentDate) from #tempTale group by ID
order by MAX(MostRecentDate) desc
obvious change is to use sub-queries:
select distinct top 10 ID, MAX(MostRecentDate) from
(
select
USER_ARTICLEID as ID,
(case
when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON
else comment.CREATED_ON end) as MostRecentDate
from User_Article
left join Comment
on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
)
group by ID
order by 2 desc
but you don't group on computed columns, so you can go with simple one:
select distinct top 10
USER_ARTICLEID as ID,
(case
when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON
else comment.CREATED_ON end) as MostRecentDate
from User_Article
left join Comment
on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
group by USER_ARTICLEID
order by 2 desc

TSQL - LEAD for Next Different Row

Is there a way to use the lead function such that I can get the next row where something has changed, as opposed it where it is the same?
In this example, the RowType can be 'in' or 'out', for each 'in' I need to know the next RowNumber where it has become 'out'. I have been playing with the lead function as it is really fast, however I haven't been able to get it working. I just need to do the following really, which is partition by a RowType which isn't the one in the current row.
select
RowNumber
,RowType --In this case I am only interested in RowType = 'In'
, Lead(RowNumber)
OVER (partition by "RowType = out" --This is the bit I am stuck on--
order by RowNumber ASC) as NextOutFlow
from table
order by RowNumber asc
Thanks in advance for any help
Rather than using lead() I would use an outer apply that returns the next row with type out for all rows with type in:
select RowNumber, RowType, nextOut
from your_table t
outer apply (
select min(RowNumber) as nextOut
from your_table
where RowNumber > t.RowNumber and RowType='Out'
) oa
where RowType = 'In'
order by RowNumber asc
Given sample data like:
RowNumber RowType
1 in
2 out
3 in
4 in
5 out
6 in
This would return:
RowNumber RowType nextOut
1 in 2
3 in 5
4 in 5
6 in NULL
I think this will work
If you would use a bit field for in out you would get better performance
;with cte1 as
(
SELECT [inden], [OnOff]
, lag([OnOff]) over (order by [inden]) as [lagOnOff]
FROM [OnOff]
), cte2 as
(
select [inden], [OnOff], [lagOnOff]
, lead([inden]) over (order by [inden]) as [Leadinden]
from cte1
where [OnOff] <> [lagOnOff]
or [lagOnOff] is null
)
select [inden], [OnOff], [lagOnOff], [Leadinden]
from cte2
where [OnOff] = 'true'
probably slower but if you have the right indexes may work
select t1.rowNum as 'rowNumIn', min(t2.rownum) as 'nextRowNumOut'
from tabel t1
join table t2
on t1.rowType = 'In'
and t2.rowType = 'Out'
and t2.rowNum > t1.rowNum
and t2.rowNum < t1.rowNum + 1000 -- if you can constrain it
group by t1.rowNum

selecting only two employees from every department

Can you let me know how to select only two employees from every department? The table has deptname, ssn, name . I am doing a sampling and I need only two ssns for every department name. Can someone help?
You can accomplish this with an "OLAP expression" row_number()
with e as
( select deptname, ssn, empname,
row_number() over (partition by dptname order by empname) as pick
from employees
)
select deptname, ssn, empname
from e
where pick < 3
order by deptname, ssn
This example will give you the two employees with the lowest order names, because that is what is specified in the row_number() (order by) expression.
Try this:
select *
from t t1
where (
select count(*)
from t t2
where
t2.deptname = t1.deptname
and
t2.ssn <= t1.ssn) <= 2
order by deptname, ssn,name;
The above will give "smallest" two ssn.
If you want top 2, change to t2.ssn >= t1.ssn

from employees

where count<=2
order by deptname, ssn,name;
