I want to only return the row where the count(object) is the highest, so I have written this query
select klantnr, count(objectnaam)
from klanten inner join deelnames using(klantnr)
inner join reizen using(reisnr)
inner join bezoeken using(reisnr)
where objectnaam = 'Maan'
group by klantnr
Now, I can't do
select max(count(objectnaam))
How would I go about solving this problem?
I have tried by using a subquery which is equally invalid
select max(select count(objectnaam) from ....)
I think I need a subquery in the from, so I have rewritten the query like this which I think is closer to the actual answer but still not right, as now it returns the maximum value of all rows.
select klantnr, max(c)
FROM(
select klantnr, count(objectnaam) as c
from klanten inner join deelnames using(klantnr)
inner join reizen using(reisnr)
inner join bezoeken using(reisnr)
where objectnaam = 'Maan'
group by klantnr) as F
group by klantnr
thanks for any help you can give me!
You do not provide the structure of tables, so probably you have to modify the following query. However it works just for PostgreSQL 9.x+
WITH t AS (
SELECT klantnr, COUNT(objectnaam) AS c
FROM klanten
WHERE objectnaam = 'Maan'
GROUP BY klantnr
ORDER BY c DESC
LIMIT 1
)
SELECT * FROM t
INNER JOIN deelnames USING(klantnr)
INNER JOIN reizen USING(reisnr)
INNER JOIN bezoeken USING(reisnr);
see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/queries-with.html how to use WITH QUERIES.
I have found a simpeler solution:
select klantnr,count (klantnr)
from bezoeken natural join deelnames
where objectnaam ='Maan'
group by klantnr
order by count desc
limit 1

There is an example request in which there are several joins.
SELECT DISTINCT ON(a.id_1) 1, a.name, b.task, c.created_at
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.id_2 = b.id
INNER JOIN c ON a.ID_2 = c.id
WHERE a.deleted_at IS NULL
ORDER BY a.id_1 desc
In this case, the query will work, sorting by unique values of id_1 will take place. But I need to sort by the column a.name. In this case, postresql will swear with the words ERROR: SELECT DISTINCT ON expressions must match initial ORDER BY expressions.
The following query can serve as a solution to the problem:
SELECT *
FROM(
SELECT DISTINCT ON(a.id_1) a.name, b.task, c.created_at
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.id_2 = b.id
INNER JOIN c ON a.ID_2 = c.id
WHERE a.deleted_at IS NULL
)
ORDER_BY a.name desc
But in reality the database is very large and such a query is not optimal. Are there other ways to sort by the selected column while keeping one uniqueness?
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
these are the five given tables

please help how can i write a query to have this result.
no idea how!!!!
SELECT K.* , COUNT (A.Au_ID) AS AnzahlAuftr
FROM Kunde K
LEFT JOIN Auftrag A ON K.Kd_ID = A.Au_Kd_ID
GROUP BY K.Kd_ID,K.Kd_Firma,K.Kd_Strasse,K.Kd_PLZ,K.Kd_Ort
ORDER BY K.Kd_PLZ DESC;
SELECT COUNT (F.F_ID) AS AnzahlFahrt
FROM Fahrten F
RIGHT JOIN Auftrag A ON A.Au_ID = F.F_Au_ID
SELECT SUM (T.Ts_Strecke) AS SumStrecke
FROM Teilstrecke T
LEFT JOIN Fahrten F ON F.F_ID = T.Ts_F_ID
how to join these 3 in one?
Grouping on Strasse etc. is not necessary and can be quite expensive. What about this approach:
SELECT K.*, ISNULL(Au.AnzahlAuftr,0) AS AnzahlAuftr, ISNULL(Au.AnzahlFahrt,0) AS AnzahlFahrt, ISNULL(Au.SumStrecke,0) AS SumStrecke
FROM Kunde K
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT A.Au_Kd_ID, COUNT(*) AS AnzahlAuftr, SUM(Fa.AnzahlFahrt1) AS AnzahlFahrt, SUM(Fa.SumStrecke2) AS SumStrecke
FROM Auftrag A LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT F.F_Au_ID, COUNT(*) AS AnzahlFahrt1, SUM(Ts.SumStrecke1) AS SumStrecke2
FROM Fahrten F LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT T.Ts_F_ID, SUM(T.Ts_Strecke) AS SumStrecke1
FROM Teilstrecke T
GROUP BY T.Ts_F_ID) AS Ts
ON Ts.Ts_F_ID = F.F_ID
GROUP BY F.F_Au_ID) AS Fa
ON Fa.F_Au_ID = A.Au_ID
GROUP BY A.Au_Kd_ID) AS Au
ON Au.Au_Kd_ID = K.Kd_ID
In SQL Server, I know for sure that the following query;
SELECT things.*
FROM things
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT thingreadings.thingid, reading
FROM thingreadings
INNER JOIN things on thingreadings.thingid = things.id
ORDER BY reading DESC LIMIT 1) AS readings
ON things.id = readings.thingid
WHERE things.id = '1'
Would join against thingreadings only once the WHERE id = 1 had restricted the record set down. It left joins against just one row. However in order for performance to be acceptable in postgres, I have to add the WHERE id= 1 to the INNER JOIN things on thingreadings.thingid = things.id line too.
This isn't ideal; is it possible to force postgres to know that what I am joining against is only one row without explicitly adding the WHERE clauses everywhere?
An example of this problem can be seen here;
I am trying to recreate the following query in a more efficient way;
SELECT things.id, things.name,
(SELECT thingreadings.id FROM thingreadings WHERE thingid = things.id ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1),
(SELECT thingreadings.reading FROM thingreadings WHERE thingid = things.id ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1)
FROM things
WHERE id IN (1,2)
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/a172c/2
Not really sure why you did all that work. Isn't the inner query enough?
SELECT t.*
FROM thingreadings tr
INNER JOIN things t on tr.thingid = t.id AND t.id = '1'
ORDER BY tr.reading DESC
LIMIT 1;
sqlfiddle demo
When you want to select the latest value for each thingID, you can do:
SELECT t.*,a.reading
FROM things t
INNER JOIN (
SELECT t1.*
FROM thingreadings t1
LEFT JOIN thingreadings t2
ON (t1.thingid = t2.thingid AND t1.reading < t2.reading)
WHERE t2.thingid IS NULL
) a ON a.thingid = t.id
sqlfiddle demo
The derived table gets you the record with the most recent reading, then the JOIN gets you the information from things table for that record.
The where clause in SQL applies to the result set you're requesting, NOT to the join.
What your code is NOT saying: "do this join only for the ID of 1"...
What your code IS saying: "do this join, then pull records out of it where the ID is 1"...
This is why you need the inner where clause. Incidentally, I also think Filipe is right about the unnecessary code.
I have a stored procedure which is running quite slow. Therefore I want to extract some of the query in a separate view.
My code looks something like this:
DECLARE #tmpTable TABLE(..)
INSERT INTO #tmpTable (..) *query* (returns 3000 rows)
Select ... from table1
inner join table2
inner join table3
inner join #tmpTable
...
I then extract (copy-paste) the *query* and put it in a view - i.e. vView.
Doing this will then give me a different result:
Select ... from table1
inner join table2
inner join table3
inner join vView
...
Why? I can see that the vView and the #tmpTable both returns 3000 rows, so they should match (also did a except query to check).
Any comments would be much appriciated as I feel quite stuck with this..
EDITED:
This is the full query for getting the result (using #tmpTable or vView gives me different results, although the appear the same):
select dep.sid as depsid, dep.[name], COUNT(b.sid) as possiblelogins, count(ls.clientsid) as logins
from department dep
inner join relationship r on dep.sid=r.primarysid and r.relationshiptypeid=27 and r.validto is null
inner join [user] u on r.secondarysid=u.sid
inner join relationship r2 on u.sid=r2.secondarysid and r2.validto is null and r2.relationshiptypeid in (1,37)
inner join client c on r2.primarysid=c.sid
inner join ***#tmpTable or vView*** b on b.sid = c.sid
left outer join (select distinct clientsid from logonstatistics) as ls on b.sid=ls.clientsid
GROUP BY dep.sid, dep.[name],dep.isdepartment
HAVING dep.isdepartment=1
You maybe don't need the view/table if you change to this.
It joins on to client c and appears to be there only to JOIN onto logonstatistics
--remove inner join ***#tmpTable or vView*** b on b.sid = c.sid
--change JOIN
left outer join (select distinct clientsid from logonstatistics) as ls on c.sid=ls.clientsid
And change COUNT(b.sid) to COUNT(c.sid) in the SELECT clause
Otherwise, if you get different results you have two options I can see:
Table and view have different data. Have you run a line by line comparsion?
One has NULL, one has a value (especially for the sid column which will affect the JOIN)
Finally, when you says "different results" do you mean you get x2 or x3 rows? A different COUNT? What?
