for example i have column that look like this:
name | id | value
A 1 aa
A 2 ab
B 3 bc
C 4 ca
C 5 cb
Is there any way to change it to this ?
name | id | value
A 1 aa
A 1 ab
B 3 bc
C 4 ca
C 4 cb
You can do this with a window function that numbers the rows, and use that select statement to supply the values for the update:
update the_table
set id = t.rn
from (
select name,
id,
dense_rank() over (order by name) as rn
from the_table
) t
where (t.name, t.id) = (the_table.name, the_table.id);
SQLFiddle example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/0e987/1
This assumes that the existing combination (id, name) is unique. If that is not the case, you would need to use the ctid column to match the rows between the inner select and the table itself:
update the_table
set id = t.rn
from (
select name,
id,
ctid,
dense_rank() over (order by name) as rn
from the_table
) t
where t.ctid = the_table.ctid;

Suppose I have a table like this:
Id Types Timestamp
1 A 2014-02-04 00:00:00
2 A 2014-02-05 00:00:00
1 A 2014-02-05 03:59:00
3 C 2014-05-06 03:59:00
1 B 2014-02-04 03:00:00
2 D 2014-02-05 00:40:00
I would like the output to be like this:
Id 1 2 3 4 5 etc
1 A B A C D ...
2 A D NULL NULL NULL
3 C NULL NULL NULL NULL
Is it possible to make time expresses the type's order.
Thanks for any hints.
Preliminary comments:
SQL can only return a predefined number of columns returned. IMHO, the best you can get is values concatenated in an array.
I have name your input table MyTable and renamed the column Timestamp to MyTimestamp to avoid conflict with the corresponding type's keyword.
You have put C and D in the 1 row of your output. I will treat it as a typo (they are not on ID = 1)

WITH RECURSIVE ConcatAndOrder(ID, MyResult, RowNumForOrder, RowCountForOrder) AS (
SELECT ID, ARRAY[Type], RowNumForOrder, RowCountForOrder
FROM IndexedTable
WHERE RowNumForOrder = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT I.ID, MyResult || I.Type, I.RowNumForOrder, I.RowCountForOrder
FROM IndexedTable I
JOIN ConcatAndOrder C on I.ID = C.ID and I.RowNumForOrder = C.RowNumForOrder + 1
), IndexedTable(ID, Type, RowNumForOrder, RowCountForOrder) AS (
SELECT ID, Type,
row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY MyTimestamp),
count(*) OVER (PARTITION BY ID)
FROM MyTable
)
SELECT ID, MyResult
FROM ConcatAndOrder
WHERE RowNumForOrder = RowCountForOrder
ORDER BY ID
In my postgres table, I have two columns of interest: id and name - my goal is to only keep records where id has more than one value in name. In other words, would like to keep all records of ids that have multiple values and where at least one of those values is B
UPDATE: I have tried adding WHERE EXISTS to the queries below but this does not work
The sample data would look like this:
> test
id name
1 1 A
2 2 A
3 3 A
4 4 A
5 5 A
6 6 A
7 7 A
8 2 B
9 1 B
10 2 B
and the output would look like this:
> output
id name
1 1 A
2 2 A
8 2 B
9 1 B
10 2 B
How would one write a query to select only these kinds records?
Based on your description you would seem to want:
select id, name
from (select t.*, min(name) over (partition by id) as min_name,
max(name) over (partition by id) as max_name
from t
) t
where min_name < max_name;
This can be done using EXISTS:
select id, name
from test t1
where exists (select *
from test t2
where t1.id = t2.id
and t1.name <> t2.name) -- this will select those with multiple names for the id
and exists (select *
from test t3
where t1.id = t3.id
and t3.name = 'B') -- this will select those with at least one b for that id
Those records where for their id more than one name shines up, right?
This could be formulated in "SQL" as follows:
select * from table t1
where id in (
select id
from table t2
group by id
having count(name) > 1)
the title may not be very clear so let's consider this example (this is not my code, just taking this example to model my request)
I have a table that references itself (like a filesystem)
id | parent | name
----+----------+-------
1 | null | /
2 | 1 | home
3 | 2 | user
4 | 3 | bin
5 | 1 | usr
6 | 5 | local
Is it possible to make a sql request so if I choose :
1 I will get a table containing 2,3,4,5,6 (because this is the root) so matching :
/home
/home/user
/home/user/bin
/usr
etc...
2 I will get a table containing 3,4 so matching :
/home/user
/home/user/bin
and so on
Use recursive common table expression. Always starting from the root, use an array of ids to get paths for a given id in the WHERE clause.
For id = 1:
with recursive cte(id, parent, name, ids) as (
select id, parent, name, array[id]
from my_table
where parent is null
union all
select t.id, t.parent, concat(c.name, t.name, '/'), ids || t.id
from cte c
join my_table t on c.id = t.parent
)
select id, name
from cte
where 1 = any(ids) and id <> 1
id | name
----+-----------------------
2 | /home/
5 | /usr/
6 | /usr/local/
3 | /home/user/
4 | /home/user/bin/
(5 rows)
For id = 2:
with recursive cte(id, parent, name, ids) as (
select id, parent, name, array[id]
from my_table
where parent is null
union all
select t.id, t.parent, concat(c.name, t.name, '/'), ids || t.id
from cte c
join my_table t on c.id = t.parent
)
select id, name
from cte
where 2 = any(ids) and id <> 2
id | name
----+-----------------------
3 | /home/user/
4 | /home/user/bin/
(2 rows)
Bidirectional query
The question is really interesting. The above query works well but is inefficient as it parses all tree nodes even when we're asking for a leaf. The more powerful solution is a bidirectional recursive query. The inner query walks from a given node to top, while the outer one goes from the node to bottom.
with recursive outer_query(id, parent, name) as (
with recursive inner_query(qid, id, parent, name) as (
select id, id, parent, name
from my_table
where id = 2 -- parameter
union all
select qid, t.id, t.parent, concat(t.name, '/', q.name)
from inner_query q
join my_table t on q.parent = t.id
)
select qid, null::int, right(name, -1)
from inner_query
where parent is null
union all
select t.id, t.parent, concat(q.name, '/', t.name)
from outer_query q
join my_table t on q.id = t.parent
)
select id, name
from outer_query
where id <> 2; -- parameter
I am working on peoplesoft. I have a requirement where I have to update the column value in a sequence ordered based on some ID.
For eg.
CA24100001648- 1
CA24100001648- 2
CA24100001664- 1
CA24100001664- 2
CA24100001664- 3
CA24100001664- 4
CA24100001664- 5
CA24100001664- 6
But, I am getting '1' as the value for all the rows on updating.
Here is my query, can anyone please help out on this.
UPDATE PS_UC_CA_CONT_STG C
SET C.CONTRACT_LINE_NUM2 = ( SELECT row_number() over(PARTITION BY D.CONTRACT_NUM
order by D.CONTRACT_NUM)
FROM PS_UC_CA_HDR_STG D
WHERE C.CONTRACT_NUM=D.CONTRACT_NUM );
Thanksenter image description here
update emp a
set comm =
(with cnt as ( select deptno,empno,row_number() over (partition by deptno order by deptno) rn from emp)
select c.rn from cnt c where c.empno=a.empno)
My table is like
ID FName LName Date(mm/dd/yy) Sequence Value
101 A B 1/10/2010 1 10
101 A B 1/10/2010 2 20
101 X Y 1/2/2010 1 15
101 Z X 1/3/2010 5 10
102 A B 1/10/2010 2 10
102 X Y 1/2/2010 1 15
102 Z X 1/3/2010 5 10
I need a query that should return 2 records
101 A B 1/10/2010 2 20
102 A B 1/10/2010 2 10
that is max of date and max of sequence group by id.
Could anyone assist on this.
-----------------------
-- get me my rows...
-----------------------
select * from myTable t
-----------------------
-- limiting them...
-----------------------
inner join
----------------------------------
-- ...by joining to a subselection
----------------------------------
(select m.id, m.date, max(m.sequence) as max_seq from myTable m inner join
----------------------------------------------------
-- first group on id and date to get max-date-per-id
----------------------------------------------------
(select id, max(date) as date from myTable group by id) y
on m.id = y.id and m.date = y.date
group by id) x
on t.id = x.id
and t.sequence = x.max_seq
Would be a simple solution, which does not take account of ties, nor of rows where sequence is NULL.
EDIT: I've added an extra group to first select max-date-per-id, and then join on this to get max-sequence-per-max-date-per-id before joining to the main table to get all columns.
I have considered your table name as employee..
check the below thing helped you.
select * from employee emp1
join (select Id, max(Date) as dat, max(sequence) as seq from employee group by id) emp2
on emp1.id = emp2.id and emp1.sequence = emp2.seq and emp1.date = emp2.dat
I'm a fan of using the WITH clause in SELECT statements to organize the different steps. I find that it makes the code easier to read.
WITH max_date(max_date)
AS (
SELECT MAX(Date)
FROM my_table
),
max_seq(max_seq)
AS (
SELECT MAX(Sequence)
FROM my_table
WHERE Date = (SELECT md.max_date FROM max_date md)
)
SELECT *
FROM my_table
WHERE Date = (SELECT md.max_date FROM max_date md)
AND Sequence = (SELECT ms.max_seq FROM max_seq ms);
You should be able to optimize this further as needed.
