I tried a lot but can´t find the right way.
If I select values in Postgres and sum them it looks like this:
SELECT name,sum(size) as total
FROM mytable group by name order by name;
How can I alter this so it also sum all values in total? I think I need a subselect but how?
Try this:
SELECT sum(a.total)
FROM (SELECT sum(size) as total
FROM mytable group by name) a
UPDATE
I'm sorry, I don't read that you want it all in the same query. For this reason the answer of greg it's better. However, other possibility if you have a postgresql version >= 9:
WITH mytableWith (name, sum) as
(SELECT name, sum(size)
FROM mytable
GROUP BY name)
SELECT 'grand total' AS name,
sum(sum) AS sum
FROM mytableWith
UNION ALL
SELECT name, sum
FROM mytableWith
I would use the ROLLUP function on POSTRGESQL:
SELECT name,sum(size) as total
FROM mytable
group by ROLLUP(name )
order by name;
This will give you a grand total of any value that you aggregate and can also be used for aggregating multiple columns.
Hope it helps!
If you want all results with the same SELECT, you could do something like
SELECT
'grand total' AS name,
sum(size) AS sum
FROM
mytable
UNION ALL
SELECT
name,
sum(size) AS sum
FROM
mytable
GROUP BY
name;
Hope it helps…
Well this should help you:
select sum(innerselect.innertotal) as outertotal from
(select sum(size) as innertotal from mytable group by name) as innerselect

I must count a number of unique surnames and names in the Postgresql table.
The problem is usage of distinct is denied by task.
What I tried to do:
SELECT COUNT(SURNAME), COUNT (NAME) FROM PEOPLE GROUP BY NAME, SURNAME;
Output:
1 1 1 1 1 and etc
(4939 rows)
But it looks like I did something wrong because in output I must get only two digits with a count.
Any idea what to do with it?
You can get around using DISTINCT by first grouping by the name or surname, and then taking a count of that intermediate table.
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
(SELECT SURNAME FROM PEOPLE GROUP BY SURNAME) t) AS surname_cnt,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
(SELECT NAME FROM PEOPLE GROUP BY NAME) t) AS name_cnt
I have o table name table_1 with 4 columns id, text, fromDate, toDate. The table represents the working experience.I want to create a function which will return the row with columns id, text where the employee worked more recently. This means I need column toDate to be closest to today.
Here is a demonstration of my code:
Select (abs("toDate"-now())) as date_diff
from table_1
Select id,text
from table_1
where (abs("toDate"-now()))=select min(date_diff)
Is this correct or is there something better I can do?
I wil try something like this:
Select id,text
from table_1
where "toDate" = ( select max ("toDate") from table_1 )
It will provide you the latest "toDate" value.
Try this:
select * from table_1
order by to_date desc
limit 1
I want to select rows for all employess without repeating the data in one column.
For example I have two rows where salary (before raise) is displayed, how can I display only the largest figure without duplication.
You can use Row_Number function
Here is a sample code
select * from (
select *,
row_number() over (partition by empid, name, department order by salary desc) as rn
from employee
) employee where rn = 1
You can find Row_Number() with Partition By clause sample at http://www.kodyaz.com
If I'm understanding the question correctly, then a simple MAX function and GROUP BY would work.
SELECT EmployeeId, OtherColumns, MAX(Salary)
FROM tblEmployees
GROUP BY EmployeeId, OtherColumns
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
First time posting here, a newbie to SQl, and I'm not exactly sure how to word this but I'll try my best.
I have a query:
select report_month, employee_id, split_bonus,sum(salary) FROM empsal
where report_month IN('2010-12-01','2010-11-01','2010-07-01','2010-04-01','2010-09-01','2010-10-01','2010-08-01')
AND employee_id IN('100','101','102','103','104','105','106','107')
group by report_month, employee_id, split_bonus;
Now, to the result of this query, I want to add a new column split_bonus_cumulative that is essentially equivalent to adding a sum(split_bonus) in the select clause but for this case, the group buy should only have report_month and employee_id.
Can anyone show me how to do this with a single query? Thanks in advance.
Try:
SELECT
report_month,
employee_id,
SUM(split_bonus),
SUM(salary)
FROM
empsal
WHERE
report_month IN('2010-12-01','2010-11-01','2010-07-01','2010-04-01','2010-09-01','2010-10-01','2010-08-01')
AND
employee_id IN('100','101','102','103','104','105','106','107')
GROUP BY
report_month,
employee_id;
Assuming you're using Postgres, you might also find window functions useful:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/tutorial-window.html
Unless I'm mistaking, you want something that resembles the following:
select report_month, employee_id, salary, split_bonus,
sum(salary) over w as sum_salary,
sum(split_bonus) over w as sum_bonus
from empsal
where ...
window w as (partition by employee_id);
CTEs are also convenient:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/queries-with.html
WITH
rows as (
SELECT foo.*
FROM foo
WHERE ...
),
report1 as (
SELECT aggregates
FROM rows
WHERE ...
),
report2 as (
SELECT aggregates
FROM rows
WHERE ...
)
SELECT *
FROM report1, report2, ...
