SQLite ORDER: Distribute result around center - sqlite

Is it possible to order a SQLite select result in way that highest value is in the center and lower value are distributed around center till start and end of result set?
data set:
5
3
2
1
1
1
1
desired result:
1
1
3
5
2
1
1

Use ROW_NUMBER() window function to assign a row number to each value and with MAX() window function get the difference of each value from the max value of the table so they can be distributed around the max value:
SELECT *
FROM tablename
ORDER BY CASE WHEN ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col) % 2 = 1 THEN -1 ELSE 1 END *
(MAX(col) OVER () - col)
Change col to the column's name.
See the demo.

Does Kusto support DEFAULT values for columns?

I have a table with 3 columns :
ID
productId
customerId
1
5
1
2
4
1
3
5
1
4

I want to add a new column called ID_MOD and its value by default will be ID%X (X is a number).
Expected result for X=3 :
ID
productId
customerId
ID_MOD

I have X instances of my app and I want each instance to query specific ID_MOD values(0/1/2.../X-1).
Is it possible to use default values for columns? If it is, can the default value be calculated based on other columns ?
what you can do is create a stored function that receives x as an input parameter, and extends your table with a calculated column (at query time).
For example:
.create-or-alter function FunctionName(x:int)
{
TableName
| extend ID_MOD = ID % x
}
If you decide x always has the same value and shouldn't be parameter, you can name the function using the same name as the table, and it will 'hide' the original table.
If the logic of calculating the extended column is well-defined in advance, you can invoke it at ingestion time, using an update policy

Creating even ranges based on values in an oracle table

I have a big table which is 100k rows in size and the PRIMARY KEY is of the datatype NUMBER. The way data is populated in this column is using a random number generator.
So my question is, can there be a possibility to have a SQL query that can help me with getting partition the table evenly with the range of values. Eg: If my column value is like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
And I would like this to be broken into three partitions, then I would expect an output like this:
Range 1 1-3
Range 2 4-7
Range 3 8-10
It sounds like you want the WIDTH_BUCKET() function. Find out more.
This query will give you the start and end range for a table of 1250 rows split into 20 buckets based on id:
with bkt as (
select id
, width_bucket(id, 1, 1251, 20) as id_bucket
from t23
)
select id_bucket
, min(id) as bkt_start
, max(id) as bkt_end
, count(*)
from bkt
group by id_bucket
order by 1
;
The two middle parameters specify min and max values; the last parameter specifies the number of buckets. The output is the rows between the minimum and maximum bows split as evenly as possible into the specified number of buckets. Be careful with the min and max parameters; I've found poorly chosen bounds can have an odd effect on the split.
This solution works without width_bucket function. While it is more verbose and certainly less efficient it will split the data as evenly as possible, even if some ID values are missing.
CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT rownum AS id
FROM dual
CONNECT BY level <= 10;
WITH
data AS (
SELECT id, rownum as row_num
FROM t
),
total AS (
SELECT count(*) AS total_rows
FROM data
),
parts AS (
SELECT rownum as part_no, total.total_rows, total.total_rows / 3 as part_rows
FROM dual, total
CONNECT BY level <= 3
),
bounds AS (
SELECT parts.part_no,
parts.total_rows,
parts.part_rows,
COALESCE(LAG(data.row_num) OVER (ORDER BY parts.part_no) + 1, 1) AS start_row_num,
data.row_num AS end_row_num
FROM data
JOIN parts
ON data.row_num = ROUND(parts.part_no * parts.part_rows, 0)
)
SELECT bounds.part_no, d1.ID AS start_id, d2.ID AS end_id
FROM bounds
JOIN data d1
ON d1.row_num = bounds.start_row_num
JOIN data d2
ON d2.row_num = bounds.end_row_num
ORDER BY bounds.part_no;
PART_NO START_ID END_ID

query sqlite: add figures any numbers and another

I've a table "mytable" like this:
MyTable
I would like to add the figures of each number with the condition that:
if the add is > 9 you subtract 9.
Ex. 13 = 1 + 3= 4
7 = 0 + 7 = 7 55= 5 + 5=10 - 9 = 1 27 = 9
Code:
select number%9 from mytable
But, in this case, for the value 27 return 0, not 9 (value correct).
Thanks in advance
You're using mod, so your result will be in the set [0...(x-1)], where x is your divisor. You want to shift your result set to be [1...x], but not shifting everything up one. Instead, you want the result to be the "normal" mod result unless that result is zero, in which case you want to return your divisor. To do this, we'll need a case statement...
SELECT
CASE WHEN (number % 9) = 0 THEN
9
ELSE
(number % 9)
END AS [field]
FROM
mytable

How to create a column for even and odd records dynamically?

I have a query in Teradata. I want to add an additional column that would be a VARCHAR.
It should say whether the selected record is even or odd
select id, name, CASE newColumn WHEN --- ???
from my table
Like this
id name newColumn
1 asdf odd
2 ts df even
32 htssdf odd
4 asdfsd even
23 gftht odd
How can I do this
Based on your example, I can't tell how you are sorting the results. You would need to define a sort order. Let's assume you would do it based on the id number.
SELECT id, name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY id) row_id,
CASE WHEN ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY id) MOD 2 = 0 THEN 'Even' ELSE 'Odd' END newColumn
FROM my table
The row_id is incrementally assigned based on the id field being sorted ascending. You then use the MOD function to determine if there's a remainder after dividing the number by a value (in this case 2). Result would look like the following:
id name row_id newColumn
1 asdf 1 Odd
2 ts df 2 Even
4 asdfsd 3 Odd
23 gftht 4 Even
32 htssdf 5 Odd

generate 6 numbers between 1 and 2 in a 2:1 ratio in SQL or PL/SQL

how can i generate 6 numbers between 1 and 2 where 4 of the numbers will be 1 and the other 2 will be 2 in a random order i.e.
results
1
2
1
1
1
2
and also in a different ratio i.e. 3:2:1 for numbers between 1 and 3 for 12 numbers
i.e.
results
1
1
2
3
1
2
1
3
1
1
3
3
results don't have to be in this order but in the ratios as above in oracle SQL or PL/SQL
To get the ratios perfect you could do something like this - generate all the numbers, then sort in random order:
SELECT r
FROM (SELECT CASE
WHEN ROWNUM <=4 THEN 1
ELSE 2
END AS r
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 6)
ORDER BY DBMS_RANDOM.value;
R
----------------------
2
1
1
2
1
1
I think this will work in straight SQL; it's horrifically inefficient, and a PL/SQL one might be less so. It's also completely static; differing ratios call for a different number of values selected.
select value
from (
select mod(value, 2) + 1 as value,
row_number() over (partition by
case mod(value, 2) = 1
then 1
else 0
end) as twos_row,
row_number() over (partition by
case mod(value, 2) = 0
then 1
else 0
end) as ones_row
from (select dbms_crypto.randominteger as value
from dba_objects
order by object_id
)
)
where twos_rows <= 2
or ones_rows <= 4
The inner-most select grabs a big stack of random numbers. The next query out determines whether that random value would be a 2 or a 1 by mod'ing the earlier random value. The last level of nesting just filters out all the rows after the correct number of that type of row has been returned.
This is untested and fragile. If you need a solution that's reliable and performance, I'd recommend PL/SQL, where you
loop
pick off random numbers
determine what partition in your set of values they'd fit into
keep them if that partition hasn't been satisfied
exit when all partitions have been satisfied.
