I have this query with an sub query as clicks
I want to do then where clicks > 0, but I get an error that this is not an recognized column.
SELECT top 10 *, (select count(*) FROM po_events aeclk WITH(NOLOCK) where (aeclk.[source] = ae.[source]) as clicks
FROM archived_events ae with(NOLOCK)
where clicks > 0
While I agree with the comment that this is a possible duplicate, I'd also like to point out that correlated subqueries can be inefficient; killing two birds with one stone, you could do something like:
SELECT TOP 10
ae.*
, aeclk.clicks
FROM archived_events ae
JOIN ( SELECT source
, COUNT(*) AS clicks
FROM po_events
GROUP BY source
) aeclk ON aeclk.[source] = ae.[source]
WHERE clicks > 0

SELECT user_posts.id,
COUNT(user_post_comments.post_id) as number_of_comments,
COUNT(user_post_reactions.post_id) as number_of_reactions
FROM user_posts
LEFT JOIN user_post_comments
ON (user_posts.id = user_post_comments.post_id)
LEFT JOIN user_post_reactions
ON (user_posts.id = user_post_reactions.post_id)

group by user_posts.id
I have this query for getting the number of comments and reactions from another table by post_id
current output screenshot
To caluclate number of comments and reactions just use subqueries. No need to join and group by.
SELECT user_posts.id,
( select COUNT(*) from user_post_comments
where user_posts.id = user_post_comments.post_id
) as number_of_comments,
( select COUNT(*) from user_post_reactions
where user_posts.id = user_post_reactions.post_id
) as number_of_reactions
FROM user_posts
WHERE user_posts.user_id = '850e6511-2f30-472d-95a1-59a02308b46a'
If both joins return non-null rows, what you get for each count is the product of the number of rows from each for a given user_posts.id. One way you could fix that is by counting distinct identifiers for each table, e.g.
COUNT(DISTINCT user_post_comments.id) as number_of_comments
(Assuming "id" exists as a primary key on that table). This may not be spectacularly efficient, but is relatively simple.
I am sure this could be very silly question, but I was not able to find answer from the internet.
I am trying to select rows with this conditon.
Select all rows if Side has both 'Right' and 'Left'.
In this case, it will select both row of Id 3 and 4 (yellow highlighted ones).
I know bottom query is not going to work.
select * from "Table" where ("Side" = 'Right') or ("Side" = 'Left')
How do I go about doing this?
You need a join. If your table name is processes
select
p.*
from processes p
inner join processes p2
on p.pid = p2.pid
and p.id <> p2.id
and p.side <> p2.side
You may filter it using a WHERE & HAVING clause in a GROUP BY
SELECT *
FROM t
WHERE pid IN (
SELECT pid
FROM t
WHERE side IN (
'Right',
'Left' )
GROUP BY pid
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT side) = 2 )

The origional problem I am attempting to solve is that I need to show all rows from a specific "joined" table. However these are sometimes blank with no totals and normally would not show (think categories and counts for each).
So what I am attempting to do is union to a "0 value" data set to show all categories. However when I do the union it shows a 0 value row, as well as the normal data. Here is an example..
SELECT category_name, COUNT(files_number)
FROM files
LEFT JOIN categories ON categories.category_id = files.category_id
UNION
SELECT category_name, 0
FROM categories
This will give me a result set that looks similar to this:
category_name | value
----------------------
open file | 0
open file | 23
closed file | 0
Is there any way to remove duplicate zero value entries? Please not there is also a complex WHERE clause in the actual query, so avoiding duplication on it is preferred.
I don't get why you are doing left join and union..
You can do below to remove duplicates,wrap your query and do group by
;with cte
as
(
SELECT category_name, COUNT(files_number)
FROM files
LEFT JOIN categories ON categories.category_id = files.category_id
UNION
SELECT category_name, 0
FROM categories
)
select categoryname,sum(aggcol)
from cte
group by
category
One way is to select all categories from the categories table, and LEFT JOIN onto the file counts (grouped by category_id).
SELECT c.category_name, ISNULL(fc.FileCount, 0) AS FileCount
FROM categories c
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT category_id, COUNT(files_number) AS FileCount
FROM files
GROUP BY category_id
) fc ON c.category_id = fc.category_id
Edit
If you want to reverse the query, you could do it something like this, using a RIGHT OUTER JOIN - so every category from categories table is returned, regardless of if there are any files for it:
SELECT c.category_name, COUNT(f.category_id) AS FileCount
FROM files f
RIGHT JOIN categories c ON c.category_id = f.category_id
GROUP BY c.name
The query below returns 9,817 records. Now, I want to SELECT one more field from another table. See the 2 lines that are commented out, where I've simply selected this additional field and added a JOIN statement to bind this new columns. With these lines added, the query now returns 649,200 records and I can't figure out why! I guess something is wrong with my WHERE criteria in conjunction with the JOIN statement. Please help, thanks.
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID, BEGDOC, BATCHID
--, dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.CATEGORY_ID
FROM IMPORT_DOCUMENTS
--JOIN dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS ON
dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.ITEMID = dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID
WHERE (BATCHID LIKE 'IC0%' OR BATCHID LIKE 'LP0%')
AND dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID IN
(SELECT dbo.CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS.ITEMID FROM

AND Sample_Id > 0)
AND dbo.IMPORT_DOCUMENTS.ITEMID NOT IN
(SELECT ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS.Item_Id FROM ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS)
One possible reason is because one of your tables contains data at lower level, lower than your join key. For example, there may be multiple records per item id. The same item id is repeated X number of times. I would fix the query like the below. Without data knowledge, Try running the below modified query.... If output is not what you're looking for, convert it into SELECT Within a Select...
Hope this helps....
Try this SQL: SELECT DISTINCT a.ITEMID, a.BEGDOC, a.BATCHID, b.CATEGORY_ID FROM IMPORT_DOCUMENTS a JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT ITEMID FROM CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATEGORY_RESULTS WHERE SCORE >= .7 AND SCORE <= .75 AND CATEGORY_ID IN (SELECT DISTINCT CATEGORY_ID FROM CATEGORY_COLLECTION_CATS WHERE COLLECTION_ID IN (11,16)) AND Sample_Id > 0) B ON a.ITEMID =b.ITEMID WHERE a.(a.BATCHID LIKE 'IC0%' OR a.BATCHID LIKE 'LP0%') AND a.ITEMID NOT IN (SELECT DIDTINCT Item_Id FROM ASSIGNMENT_FOLDER_DOCUMENTS)
How would I redesign the below query so that it will recursively loop through entire tree to return all descendants from root to leaves? (I'm using SSMS 2008). We have a President at the root. under him are the VPs, then upper management, etc., on down the line. I need to return the names and titles of each. But this query shouldn't be hard-coded; I need to be able to run this for any selected employee, not just the president. This query below is the hard-coded approach.
select P.staff_name [Level1],
P.job_title [Level1 Title],
Q.license_number [License 1],
E.staff_name [Level2],
E.job_title [Level2 Title],
G.staff_name [Level3],
G.job_title [Level3 Title]
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view P on P.people_id = A.people_id
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view E on E.people_id = C.people_id
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view G on G.people_id = F.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = P.group_profile_id
Thank you, this was most closely matching what I needed. Here is my CTE query below:
with Employee_Hierarchy (staff_name, job_title, id_number, billing_staff_credentials_code, site_name, group_profile_id, license_number, region_description, people_id)
as
(
select C.staff_name, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view C on C.people_id = A.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = C.group_profile_id
left join regions R on R.regions_id = Q.regions_id
where A.last_name = 'kromer'
)
select C.staff_name, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view C on C.people_id = A.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = C.group_profile_id
left join regions R on R.regions_id = Q.regions_id
WHERE C.STAFF_NAME IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY C.STAFF_NAME, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
ORDER BY C.STAFF_NAME
But I am wondering what is the purpose of the "Employee_Hierarchy"? When I replaced "staff_view" in the outer query with "Employee_Hierarchy", it only returned one record = "Kromer". So when/where can we use "Employee_Hierarchy"?
See:
SQL Server - Simple example of a recursive CTE
MSDN: Recursive Queries using Common Table Expression
SQL Server recursive CTE (this seems pretty much like exactly what you are working on!)
Update:
A proper recursive CTE consist of basically three things:
an anchor SELECT to begin with; that can select e.g. the root level employees (where the Reports_To is NULL), or it can select any arbitrary employee that you define, e.g. by a parameter
a UNION ALL
a recursive SELECT statement that selects from the same, typically self-referencing table and joins with the recursive CTE being currently built up
This gives you the ability to recursively build up a result set that you can then select from.
If you look at the Northwind sample database, it has a table called Employees which is self-referencing: Employees.ReportsTo --> Employees.EmployeeID defines who reports to whom.
Your CTE would look something like this:
;WITH RecursiveCTE AS
(
-- anchor query; get the CEO
SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Title, 1 AS 'Level', ReportsTo
FROM dbo.Employees
WHERE ReportsTo IS NULL
UNION ALL
-- recursive part; select next Employees that have ReportsTo -> cte.EmployeeID
SELECT
e.EmployeeID, e.FirstName, e.LastName, e.Title,
cte.Level + 1 AS 'Level', e.ReportsTo
FROM
dbo.Employees e
INNER JOIN
RecursiveCTE cte ON e.ReportsTo = cte.EmployeeID
)
SELECT *
FROM RecursiveCTE
ORDER BY Level, LastName
I don't know if you can translate your sample to a proper recursive CTE - but that's basically the gist of it: anchor query, UNION ALL, recursive query
