I would like to do something like this:
CNT=2;
//[edit]
select avg(price) from (
select first :CNT p.Price
from Price p
order by p.Date desc
);
This does not work, Firebird does not allow :cnt as a parameter to FIRST. I need to average the first CNT newest prices. The number 2 changes so it can not be hard-coded.
This can be broken out into a FOR SELECT loop and break when a count is reached. Is that the best way though? Can this be done in a single SQL statement?
Creating the SQL as a string and running it is not the best fit either. It is important that the database compile my SQL statement.
You don't have to use CTE, you can do it directly:
select avg(price) from (
select first :cnt p.Price
from Price p
order by p.Date desc
);
You can use a CTE (Common Table Expression) (see http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd21-select.html#langrefupd21-select-cte) to select data before calculate average.
See example below:
with query1 as (
select first 2 p.Price
from Price p
order by p.Date desc
)
select avg(price) from query1

I want to create calculated table that will summarize In_Force Premium from existing table fact_Premium.
How can I filter the result by saying:
TODAY() has to be between `fact_Premium[EffectiveDate]` and (SELECT TOP 1 fact_Premium[ExpirationDate] ORDE BY QuoteID DESC)
In SQL I'd do that like this:
`WHERE CONVERT(date, getdate()) between CONVERT(date, tblQuotes.EffectiveDate)
and (
select top 1 q2.ExpirationDate
from Table2 Q2
where q2.ControlNo = Table1.controlno
order by quoteid` desc
)
Here is my DAX statement so far:
In_Force Premium =
FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE(
//Grouping necessary columns
fact_Premium,
fact_Premium[QuoteID],
fact_Premium[Division],
fact_Premium[Office],
dim_Company[CompanyGUID],
fact_Premium[LineGUID],
fact_Premium[ProducerGUID],
fact_Premium[StateID],
fact_Premium[ExpirationDate]
),
"Premium", CALCULATE(
SUM(fact_Premium[Premium])
),
"ControlNo", CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(fact_Premium[ControlNo])
)
), // Here I need to make sure TODAY() falls between fact_Premium[EffectiveDate] and (SELECT TOP 1 fact_Premium[ExpirationDate] ORDE BY QuoteID DESC)
)
Also, what would be more efficient way, to create calculated table from fact_Premium or create same table using sql statement (--> Get Data--> SQL Server) ?
There are 2 potential ways in T-SQL to get the next effective date. One is to use LEAD() and another is to use an APPLY operator. As there are few facts to work with here are samples:
select *
from (
select *
, lead(EffectiveDate) over(partition by CompanyGUID order by quoteid desc) as NextEffectiveDate
from Table1
join Table2 on ...
) d
or
select table1.*, oa.NextEffectiveDate
from Table1
outer apply (
select top(1) q2.ExpirationDate AS NextEffectiveDate
from Table2 Q2
where q2.ControlNo = Table1.controlno
order by quoteid desc
) oa
nb. an outer apply is a little similar to a left join in that it will allow rows with a NULL to be returned by the query, if that is not needed than use cross apply instead.
In both these approaches you may refer to NextEffectiveDate in a final where clause, but I would prefer to avoid using the convert function if that is feasible (this depends on the data).
So far I have come up with the below:
WHERE (extract(month FROM orders)) =
(SELECT min(extract(month from orderdate))
FROM orders)
However, that will consequently return zero to many rows, and in my case, many, because many orders exist within that same earliest (minimum) month, i.e. 4th February, 9th February, 15th Feb, ...
I know that a WHERE clause can contain multiple columns, so why wouldn't the below work?
WHERE (extract(day FROM orderdate)), (extract(month FROM orderdate)) =
(SELECT min(extract(day from orderdate)), min(extract(month FROM orderdate))
FROM orders)
I simply get: SQL Error: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
Any help would be great, thank you!
Sample data:
02-Feb-2012
14-Feb-2012
22-Dec-2012
09-Feb-2013
18-Jul-2013
01-Jan-2014
Output:
02-Feb-2012
14-Feb-2012
Desired output:
02-Feb-2012
I recreated your table and found out you just messed up the brackets a bit. The following works for me:
where
(extract(day from OrderDate),extract(month from OrderDate))
=
(select
min(extract(day from OrderDate)),
min(extract(month from OrderDate))
from orders
)
Use something like this:
with cte1 as (
select
extract(month from OrderDate) date_month,
extract(day from OrderDate) date_day,
OrderNo
from tablename
), cte2 as (
select min(date_month) min_date_month, min(date_day) min_date_day
from cte1
)
select cte1.*
from cte1
where (date_month, date_day) = (select min_date_month, min_date_day from cte2)
A common table expression enables you to restructure your data and then use this data to do your select. The first cte-block (cte1) selects the month and the day for each of your table rows. Cte2 then selects min(month) and min(date). The last select then combines both ctes to select all rows from cte1 that have the desired month and day.
There is probably a shorter solution to that, however I like common table expressions as they are almost all the time better to understand than the "optimal, shortest" query.
If that is really what you want, as bizarre as it seems, then as a different approach you could forget the extracts and the subquery against the table to get the minimums, and use an analytic approach instead:
select orderdate
from (
select o.*,
row_number() over (order by to_char(orderdate, 'MMDD')) as rn
from orders o
)
where rn = 1;
ORDERDATE
---------
01-JAN-14
The row_number() effectively adds a pseudo-column to every row in your original table, based on the month and day in the order date. The rn values are unique, so there will be one row marked as 1, which will be from the earliest day in the earliest month. If you have multiple orders with the same day/month, say 01-Jan-2013 and 01-Jan-2014, then you'll still only get exactly one with rn = 1, but which is picked is indeterminate. You'd need to add further order by conditions to make it deterministic, but I have no idea what you might want.
That is done in the inner query; the outer query then filters so that only the records marked with rn = 1 is returned; so you get exactly one row back from the overall query.
This also avoids the situation where the earliest day number is not in the earliest month number - say if you only had 01-Jan-2014 and 02-Feb-2014; comparing the day and month separately would look for 01-Feb-2014, which doesn't exist.
SQL Fiddle (with Thomas Tschernich's anwer thrown in too, giving the same result for this data).
To join the result against your invoice table, you don't need to join to the orders table again - especially not with a cross join, which is skewing your results. You can do the join (at least) two ways:
SELECT
o.orderno,
to_char(o.orderdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY'),
i.invno
FROM
(
SELECT o.*,
row_number() over (order by to_char(orderdate, 'MMDD')) as rn
FROM orders o
) o, invoices i
WHERE i.invno = o.invno
AND rn = 1;
Or:
SELECT
o.orderno,
to_char(o.orderdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY'),
i.invno
FROM
(
SELECT orderno, orderdate, invno
FROM
(
SELECT o.*,
row_number() over (order by to_char(orderdate, 'MMDD')) as rn
FROM orders o
)
WHERE rn = 1
) o, invoices i
WHERE i.invno = o.invno;
The first looks like it does more work but the execution plans are the same.
SQL Fiddle with your pastebin-supplied query that gets two rows back, and these two that get one.
Using ms-sql 2008 r2; am sure this is very straightforward. I am trying to identify where a unique value {ISIN} has been linked to more than 1 Identifier. An example output would be:
isin entity_id
XS0276697439 000BYT-E
XS0276697439 000BYV-E
This is actually an error and I want to look for other instances where there may be more than one entity_id linked to a unique ISIN.
This is my current working but it's obviously not correct:
select isin, entity_id from edm_security_entity_map
where isin is not null
--and isin = ('XS0276697439')
group by isin, entity_id
having COUNT(entity_id) > 1
order by isin asc
Thanks for your help.
Elliot,
I don't have a copy of SQL in front of me right now, so apologies if my syntax isn't spot on.
I'd start by finding the duplicates:
select
x.isin
,count(*)
from edm_security_entity_map as x
group by x.isin
having count(*) > 1
Then join that back to the full table to find where those duplicates come from:
;with DuplicateList as
(
select
x.isin
--,count(*) -- not used elsewhere
from edm_security_entity_map as x
group by x.isin
having count(*) > 1
)
select
map.isin
,map.entity_id
from edm_security_entity_map as map
inner join DuplicateList as dup
on dup.isin = map.isin;
HTH,
Michael
So you're saying that if isin-1 has a row for both entity-1 and entity-2 that's an error but isin-3, say, linked to entity-3 in two separe rows is OK? The ugly-but-readable solution to that is to pre-pend another CTE on the previous solution
;with UniqueValues as
(select distinct
y.isin
,y.entity_id
from edm_security_entity_map as y
)
,DuplicateList as
(
select
x.isin
--,count(*) -- not used elsewhere
from UniqueValues as x
group by x.isin
having count(*) > 1
)
select
map.isin
,map.entity_id
from edm_security_entity_map as map -- or from UniqueValues, depening on your objective.
inner join DuplicateList as dup
on dup.isin = map.isin;
There are better solutions with additional GROUP BY clauses in the final query. If this is going into production I'd be recommending that. Or if your table has a bajillion rows. If you just need to do some analysis the above should suffice, I hope.
Am developing a report using the SQL Server BI Development Studio, when I try to create a function to sum the counts for StudentID, I get an error "Aggregate functions cannot be nested inside other aggregate functions"
The following is the expression am using:-
=Sum(Count(Fields!StudentID.Value))
How can I perform such a calculation?
You can do it this way
;With CountIds AS
(
SELECT COUNT(Fields!StudentID.Value) AS CountOfId FROM Table ...
)
SELECT Sum(CountOfId)
FROM CountIds
The "With" gives you the COUNT with the conditions that you want. Then you SUM it.
But I'm not quite sure the query returns what you want.. (Because when I test the query, it gives me the same result that a COUNT on all the table..) I think want you want to know is "How many Count you have".
If so, I would do it that way instead.
;With CountId AS
(
SELECT COUNT(Fields!StudentID.Value) AS CountOfId FROM Table ...
)
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CountOfId)
FROM CountIds
ORDER BY 1 DESC
Or simply:
;With CountId AS
(
SELECT COUNT(Fields!StudentID.Value) AS CountOfId FROM Table ...
)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CountIds
i am trying to run an export on a system that only allows t-sql. i know enough of php to make a foreach loop, but i don't know enough of t-sql to generate multiple rows for a given quantity.
i need a result to make a list of items with "1 of 4" like data included in the result
given a table like
orderid, product, quantity
1000,ball,3
1001,bike,4
1002,hat,2
how do i get a select query result like:
orderid, item_num, total_items,
product
1000,1,3,ball
1000,2,3,ball
1000,3,3,ball
1001,1,4,bike
1001,2,4,bike
1001,3,4,bike
1001,4,4,bike
1002,1,2,hat
1002,2,2,hat
You can do this with the aid of an auxiliary numbers table.
;WITH T(orderid, product, quantity) AS
(
select 1000,'ball',3 union all
select 1001,'bike',4 union all
select 1002,'hat',2
)
SELECT orderid, number as item_num, quantity as total_items, product
FROM T
JOIN master..spt_values on number> 0 and number <= quantity
where type='P'
NB: The code above uses the master..spt_values table - this is just for demo purposes I suggest you create your own tally table using one of the techniques here.
If you are on SQL Server 2005 or later version, then you can try a recursive CTE instead of a tally table.
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT orderid, 1 item_num, product, quantity
FROM YourTable
UNION ALL
SELECT orderid, item_num+1, product, quantity
FROM CTE
WHERE item_num < quantity
)
SELECT *
FROM CTE
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
I'm not on a computer with a database engine where I can test this, so let me know how it goes.
Well, IF you know the maximum value for the # of products for any product (and it's not too big, say 4), you can:
Create a helper table called Nums containing 1 integer column n, with rows containing 1,2,3,4
Run
SELECT * from Your_table, Nums
WHERE Nums.n <= Your_table.quantity
