Having two tables (table1, table2) with the same column names (generation, parent), the desired output would be the combination of all columns of both tables. Thereby the rows of table2 should join table1 so that the rows of table2 are matching those of table1 on generation column. The parent number should be ordered ascending for the entries in table1 as well as in table2. The number of rows of the query results should be equal of those of table1.
Given the following tables
table1:
| generation | parent |
|:----------:|:------:|
| 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 2 |
| 0 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
table2:
| generation | parent |
|:----------:|:------:|
| 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
The following queries are thought for creating and populating two sample tables as shown above:
create table table1(generation integer, parent integer);
insert into table1 (generation, parent) values(0,1),(0,2),(0,3),(1,3),(1,2),(1,1),(2,2),(2,1),(2,3);
create table table2(generation integer, parent integer);
insert into table2 (generation, parent) values(1,3),(1,1),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3);
the imagined query should lead to the following desired result:
| table1_generation | table1_parent | table2_generation | table2_parent |
|:-----------------:|:-------------:|:-----------------:|:-------------:|
| 0 | 1 | | |
| 0 | 2 | | |
| 0 | 3 | | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
Current query looks as follows:
with
p as (
select
generation,
parent
from
table1
order by
generation,
parent
), o as(
select
generation,
parent
from
table2
order by
generation,
parent
)
select
p.generation as table1_generation,
p.parent as table1_parent,
o.generation as table2_generation,
o.parent as table2_parent
from
p
left join o on
o.generation=p.generation;
Which leads to the following result:
| table1_generation | table1_parent | table2_generation | table2_parent |
|:-----------------:|:-------------:|:-----------------:|:-------------:|
| 0 | 1 | | |
| 0 | 2 | | |
| 0 | 3 | | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
This link led to the conclusion, that any join command might not what is necessary here ... But union does only append rows... so for me it is absolutely unclear, how the desired result can be achieved o.O
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The main misunderstanding on this question arose from the fact that you mentioned join, which is a very precisely mathematically defined concept based on the Cartesian product and can be applied to any two sets. So the current output is clear.
But as you wrote in the title, you want to put two tables side by side. You take advantage of the fact that they have the same number of rows (triples).
This select returns the output you want.
I made artificial join columns, row_number() OVER (order by generation, parent) as rnum, and moved the second table using the addition of three. I hope this helps you:
with
p as (
select
row_number() OVER (order by generation, parent) as rnum,
generation,
parent
from
table1
order by
generation,
parent
), o as(
select
row_number() OVER (order by generation, parent) as rnum,
generation,
parent
from
table2
order by
generation,
parent
)
select
p.generation as table1_generation,
p.parent as table1_parent,
o.generation as table2_generation,
o.parent as table2_parent
from
p
left join o on
o.rnum+3=p.rnum
order by 1,2,3,4;
Output:
table1_generation
table1_parent
table2_generation
table2_parent

I need to select first 2 lines where the store_name is different than one given for a given product
id | store_name | prod_name
----+------------+------
1 | 1 | A
2 | 1 | B
3 | 1 | C
4 | 1 | A
5 | 2 | E
6 | 2 | A
7 | 3 | G
8 | 2 | A
9 | 1 | A
10 | 3 | A
(10 rows)
result should be store_name <> 3 AND prod_name ='A'
id | store_name | prod_name
----+------------+------
1 | 1 | A
4 | 1 | A
6 | 2 | A
8 | 2 | A
Use the row_number() window function to accomplish this.
Query #1
with first_two as (
select *,
row_number() over (partition by store_name
order by id) as rn
from store_product
where store_name <> 3
and prod_name = 'A'

select id, store_name, prod_name
from first_two
where rn <= 2;
| id | store_name | prod_name |

| 1 | 1 | A |

I have a table as such (tbl):
+----+------+-----+
| pk | attr | val |
+----+------+-----+
| 0 | ohif | 4 |
| 1 | foha | 56 |
| 2 | slns | 2 |
| 3 | faso | 11 |
+----+------+-----+
And another table in n-to-1 relationship with tbl (tbl2):
+----+-----+
| pk | rel |
+----+-----+
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 6 | 1 |
| 7 | 2 |
+----+-----+
(tbl2.rel -> tbl.pk.)
I would like to select only the rows from tbl which are in relationship with at least n rows from tbl2.
I.e., for n = 2, I want this table:
+----+------+-----+
| pk | attr | val |
+----+------+-----+
| 0 | ohif | 4 |
| 1 | foha | 56 |
| 2 | slns | 2 |
+----+------+-----+
This is the solution I came up with:
SELECT DISTINCT ON (tbl.pk) tbl.*
FROM (
SELECT tbl.pk
FROM tbl
RIGHT OUTER JOIN tbl2 ON tbl2.rel = tbl.pk
GROUP BY tbl.pk
HAVING COUNT(tbl2.*) >= 2 -- n
) AS tbl_candidates
LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl ON tbl_candidates.pk = tbl.pk
Can it be done without selecting the candidates with a subquery and re-joining the table with itself?
I'm on Postgres 10. A standard SQL solution would be better, but a Postgres solution is acceptable.
OK, just join once, as below:
select
t1.pk,
t1.attr,
t1.val
from
tbl t1
join
tbl2 t2 on t1.pk = t2.rel
group by
t1.pk,
t1.attr,
t1.val
having(count(1)>=2) order by t1.pk;
pk | attr | val
----+------+-----
0 | ohif | 4
1 | foha | 56
2 | slns | 2
(3 rows)
Or just join once and use CTE(with clause), as below:
with tmp as (
select rel from tbl2 group by rel having(count(1)>=2)
)
select b.* from tmp t join tbl b on t.rel = b.pk order by b.pk;
pk | attr | val
----+------+-----
0 | ohif | 4
1 | foha | 56
2 | slns | 2
(3 rows)
Is the SQL clearer?
I have one table where I dump all records from different sources (x, y, z) like below
+----+------+--------+
| id | source |
+----+--------+
| 1 | x |
| 2 | y |
| 3 | x |
| 4 | x |
| 5 | y |
| 6 | z |
| 7 | z |
| 8 | x |
| 9 | z |
| 10 | z |
+----+--------+
Then I have one mapping table where I map values between sources based on my usecase like below
+----+-----------+
| id | mapped_id |
+----+-----------+
| 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 9 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 10 |
| 5 | 1 |
+----+-----------+
I want merged results where I can see only unique results like
+-----+------------+
| id | mapped_ids |
+-----+------------+
| 1 | 2,9,5 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 10 |
| 6 | null |
| 8 | null |
+-----+------------+
I am trying different options but could not figure this out, is there way I can write joins to do this. I have to use the mapping table where associations are stored and identify unique records along with records which are not mapped anywhere.
My understanding is, you want to see all dump_table IDs that do not appear in the mapping_id column and then aggregate the mapped_ids for those that are left:
select d1.id,
array_agg(m1.mapped_id order by m1.mapped_id) filter (where m1.mapped_id is not null) as mapped_ids
from dump_table d1
left join mapping_table m1 using (id)
where not exists (select *
from mapping_table m2
where m2.mapped_id = d1.id)
group by d1.id;
Online example: https://rextester.com/JQZ17650
Try something like this:
SELECT id, name, ARRAY_AGG(mapped_id) AS mapped_ids
FROM table1 AS t1
LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2 USING (id)
GROUP BY id, name

Get All Nodes directly under current Node in left side
SELECT "categories".* FROM "categories" WHERE ("categories"."position" = 'L') AND ("categories"."lft" >= 1 AND "categories"."lft" < 12) ORDER BY "categories"."lft"
output { B,D,G } incoorect!
Question !
how have Nodes directly under current Node in left and right side?
output-lft {B,D,F,G}
output-rgt {C}
It sounds like you're after something analogous to Oracle's CONNECT_BY statement, which is used to connect hierarchical data stored in a flat table.
It just so happens there's a way to do this with Postgres, using a recursive CTE.
here is the statement I came up with.
WITH RECURSIVE sub_categories AS
(
-- non-recursive term
SELECT * FROM categories WHERE position IS NOT NULL
UNION ALL
-- recursive term
SELECT c.*
FROM
categories AS c
JOIN
sub_categories AS sc
ON (c.parent = sc.id)
)
SELECT DISTINCT categories.value
FROM categories,
sub_categories
WHERE ( categories.parent = sub_categories.id
AND sub_categories.position = 'L' )
OR ( categories.parent = 1
AND categories.position = 'L' )
here is a SQL Fiddle with a working example.
