SELECT
CAST(c.DT AS DATE) AS 'Date'
, COUNT(p.PatternID) AS 'Count'
FROM CalendarMain c
LEFT OUTER JOIN Pattern p
ON c.DT = p.PatternDate
INNER JOIN Result r
ON p.PatternID = r.PatternID
INNER JOIN Detail d
ON p.PatternID = d.PatternID

GROUP BY CAST(c.DT AS DATE)
ORDER BY CAST(c.DT AS DATE)
The query above isn't working for me. It still skips days where the COUNT is NULL for it's c.DT.
c.DT and p.PatternDate are both time DateTime, although c.DT can't be NULL. It is actually the PK for the table. It is populated as DateTimes for every single day from 2015 to 2049, so the records for those days exist.
Another weird thing I noticed is that nothing returns at all when I join C.DT = p.PatternDate without a CAST or CONVERT to a Date style. Not sure why when they are both DateTimes.
There are a few things to talk about here. At this stage it's not clear what you're actually trying to count. If it's the number of "patterns" per day for the month of Jan 2019, then:
Your BETWEEN will also count any activity occurring on 1 Feb,
It looks like one pattern could have multiple results, potentially causing a miscount
It looks like one pattern could have multiple details, potentially causing a miscount
If one pattern has say 3 eligible results, and also 4 details, you'll get the cross product of them. Your count will be 12.
I'm going to assume:
you only want the distinct number of patterns, regardless of the number of details and results.
You only want January's activity

I have 3 tables:
with current_exclusive as(
select id_station, area_type,
count(*) as total_entries
from c1169.data_cashier
where id_station IN(2439,2441,2443,2445,2447,2449) and date >= '2017-10-30' and date <= '2017-12-30'
group by id_station, area_type
), current_table as(
select id_station, area_type,
sum(total_time) filter (where previous_status = 1) as total_time
from c1169.data_table
where id_station IN(2439,2441,2443,2445,2447,2449) and date >= '2017-10-30' and date < '2017-12-30'
group by id_station, area_type
), current_cashier as(
select id_station, area_type,
sum(1) as total_transactions
from c1169.data_cashier
where id_station IN(2439,2441,2443,2445,2447,2449) and date >= '2017-10-30' and date < '2017-12-30'
group by id_station, area_type
)
select *
from current_exclusive
full join current_table on current_exclusive.id_station = current_table.id_station and current_exclusive.area_type = current_table.area_type
full join current_cashier on current_exclusive.id_station = current_cashier.id_station and current_exclusive.area_type = current_cashier.area_type
and the result is:
but my expected result is:
Are there any way to select * and show the expected result? Because when I do full join then id_station and area_type can be null in some tables, so it very hard to choose which column is not null.
Like: select case id_station is not null then id_station else id_station1 end, but I have up to 10 tables so can not do in select case
Use USING, per the documentation:
USING ( join_column [, ...] )
A clause of the form USING ( a, b, ... ) is shorthand for ON left_table.a = right_table.a AND left_table.b = right_table.b .... Also, USING implies that only one of each pair of equivalent columns will be included in the join output, not both.
select *
from current_exclusive
full join current_table using (id_station, area_type)
full join current_cashier using (id_station, area_type)
You cannot accomplish anything if you insist on using select *, since you are getting the values from different tables.
The option you have is to include a COALESCE block which gives you the first non-null value from the list of columns.
So, you could use.
select COALESCE( current_exclusive.id_station, current_table.id_station, current_cashier.id_station ) as id_station ,
COALESCE( current_exclusive.area_type , current_table.area_type, current_cashier.area_type ) as area_type ,.....
...
from current_exclusive
full join current_table..
...
Please advice on a better way to do this.
I am sure this can be done in one query itself.
declare #tempTale table (ID bigint, ArticleDate datetime,CommentDate
datetime,MostRecentDate datetime)
declare #MinDate datetime;
set #MinDate = getdate();
set #MinDate = DATEADD(YEAR,-100,#MinDate)
insert into #tempTale
select USER_ARTICLEID, User_Article.CREATED_ON, coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate),
case when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON else comment.CREATED_ON end as MostRecentDate
from User_Article left join Comment on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
order by MostRecentDate desc
select distinct top 10 ID,MAX(MostRecentDate) from #tempTale group by ID
order by MAX(MostRecentDate) desc
obvious change is to use sub-queries:
select distinct top 10 ID, MAX(MostRecentDate) from
(
select
USER_ARTICLEID as ID,
(case
when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON
else comment.CREATED_ON end) as MostRecentDate
from User_Article
left join Comment
on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
)
group by ID
order by 2 desc
but you don't group on computed columns, so you can go with simple one:
select distinct top 10
USER_ARTICLEID as ID,
(case
when coalesce(User_Article.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) > coalesce(comment.CREATED_ON,#MinDate) then User_Article.CREATED_ON
else comment.CREATED_ON end) as MostRecentDate
from User_Article
left join Comment
on Comment.CONTENTID = User_Article.USER_ARTICLEID and comment.CONTENT_TYPE = User_Article.CONTENT_TYPE
group by USER_ARTICLEID
order by 2 desc
Is it possible to use the value of EXISTS as part of a query?
(Please note: unfortunately due to client constraints, I need SQLServer 2005 compatible answers!)
So when returning a set of results, one of the columns is a boolean value which states whether the subquery would return any rows.
For example, I want to return a list of usernames and whether a different table contains any rows for each user. The following is not syntactically correct, but hopefully gives you an idea of what I mean...
SELECT T1.[UserName],
(EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM [AnotherTable] T2
WHERE T1.[UserName] = T2.[UserName])
) AS [RowsExist]
FROM [UserTable] T1
Where the resultant set contains a column called [UserName] and boolean column called [RowsExist].
The obvious solution is to use a CASE, such as below, but I wondered if there was a better way of doing it...
SELECT T1.[UserName],
(CASE (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM [AnotherTable] T2
WHERE T1.[UserName] = T2.[UserName]
)
WHEN 0 THEN CAST(0 AS BIT)
ELSE CAST(1 AS BIT) END
) AS [RowsExist]
FROM [UserTable] T1
Your second query isn't valid syntax.
SELECT T1.[UserName],
CASE
WHEN EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM [AnotherTable] T2
WHERE T1.[UserName] = T2.[UserName]) THEN CAST(1 AS BIT)
ELSE CAST(0 AS BIT)
END AS [RowsExist]
FROM [UserTable] T1
Is generally fine and will be implemented as a semi join.
The article Subqueries in CASE Expressions discusses this further.
In some cases a COUNT query can actually perform better though as discussed here
I like the other guys sql better but i just wrote this:
with bla as (
select t2.username, isPresent=CAST(1 AS BIT)
from t2
group by t2.username
)
select t1.*, isPresent = isnull(bla.isPresent, CAST(0 AS BIT))
from t1
left join blah on t1.username=blah.username
From what you wrote here I would alter your first query into something like this
SELECT
T1.[UserName], ISNULL(
(
SELECT
TOP 1 1
FROM [AnotherTable]
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT
1
FROM [AnotherTable] AS T2
WHERE T1.[UserName] = T2.[UserName]
)
), 0)
FROM [UserTable] T1
But actually if you use TOP 1 1 you would not need EXISTS, you could also write
SELECT
T1.[UserName], ISNULL(
(
SELECT
TOP 1 1
FROM [AnotherTable] AS T2
WHERE T1.[UserName] = T2.[UserName]
), 0)
FROM [UserTable] T1
I would like to solve this issue avoiding to use cursors (FETCH).
Here comes the problem...
1st Table/quantity
------------------
periodid periodstart periodend quantity
1 2010/10/01 2010/10/15 5
2st Table/sold items
-----------------------
periodid periodstart periodend solditems
14343 2010/10/05 2010/10/06 2
Now I would like to get the following view or just query result
Table Table/stock
-----------------------
periodstart periodend itemsinstock
2010/10/01 2010/10/04 5
2010/10/05 2010/10/06 3
2010/10/07 2010/10/15 5
It seems impossible to solve this problem without using cursors, or without using single dates instead of periods.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hopefully a little easier to read than Martin's. I used different tables and sample data, hopefully extrapolating the right info:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Quantity](
[PeriodStart] [date] NOT NULL,
[PeriodEnd] [date] NOT NULL,
[Quantity] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SoldItems](
[PeriodStart] [date] NOT NULL,
[PeriodEnd] [date] NOT NULL,
[SoldItems] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO Quantity (PeriodStart,PeriodEnd,Quantity)
SELECT '20100101','20100115',5
INSERT INTO SoldItems (PeriodStart,PeriodEnd,SoldItems)
SELECT '20100105','20100107',2 union all
SELECT '20100106','20100108',1
The actual query is now:
;WITH Dates as (
select PeriodStart as DateVal from SoldItems union select PeriodEnd from SoldItems union select PeriodStart from Quantity union select PeriodEnd from Quantity
), Periods as (
select d1.DateVal as StartDate, d2.DateVal as EndDate
from Dates d1 inner join Dates d2 on d1.DateVal < d2.DateVal left join Dates d3 on d1.DateVal < d3.DateVal and d3.DateVal < d2.DateVal where d3.DateVal is null
), QuantitiesSold as (
select StartDate,EndDate,COALESCE(SUM(si.SoldItems),0) as Quantity
from Periods p left join SoldItems si on p.StartDate < si.PeriodEnd and si.PeriodStart < p.EndDate
group by StartDate,EndDate
)
select StartDate,EndDate,q.Quantity - qs.Quantity
from QuantitiesSold qs inner join Quantity q on qs.StartDate < q.PeriodEnd and q.PeriodStart < qs.EndDate
And the result is:
StartDate EndDate (No column name)
2010-01-01 2010-01-05 5
2010-01-05 2010-01-06 3
2010-01-06 2010-01-07 2
2010-01-07 2010-01-08 4
2010-01-08 2010-01-15 5
Explanation: I'm using three Common Table Expressions. The first (Dates) is gathering all of the dates that we're talking about, from the two tables involved. The second (Periods) selects consecutive values from the Dates CTE. And the third (QuantitiesSold) then finds items in the SoldItems table that overlap these periods, and adds their totals together. All that remains in the outer select is to subtract these quantities from the total quantity stored in the Quantity Table
John, what you could do is a WHILE loop. Declare and initialise 2 variables before your loop, one being the start date and the other being end date. Your loop would then look like this:
WHILE(#StartEnd <= #EndDate)
BEGIN
--processing goes here
SET #StartEnd = #StartEnd + 1
END
You would need to store your period definitions in another table, so you could retrieve those and output rows when required to a temporary table.
Let me know if you need any more detailed examples, or if I've got the wrong end of the stick!
Damien,
I am trying to fully understand your solution and test it on a large scale of data, but I receive following errors for your code.
