Join a query result set with an existing table in sqlite? - sqlite

I have a query result set like this:
value | id
500 | 1
400 | 1
300 | 2
and a product table:
product_name | id
product_1 | 1
product_2 | 2
product_5 | 3
product_6 | 4
product_9 | 5
product_0 | 6
Now I want to find the product_name from product table for every row in query result set and join the result to look like following:
The result after joining should be following:
product_name | id | value
product_1 | 1 | 500
product_1 | 1 | 400
product_2 | 2 | 300
I am getting confused how to use left join to achieve the result.

You'd join based on the value that's common between the two tables; in this case, it's id.
It doesn't seem like you want any NULL values for value, so you wouldn't use a LEFT JOIN; you'd want an INNER JOIN instead.
This would get you pretty much what you want; bear in mind that this is untested.
SELECT p.product_name, qr.id, value
FROM product p
INNER JOIN query_result_set qr ON qr.id = p.id
ORDER BY value DESC;
Also, your expectations are wrong - product_5 has an id of 3, so it wouldn't appear in this join result.

How can I set multiple aliases for a single derived table in MariaDB 5.5?

Consider a database with three tables:
goods (Id is the primary key)
+----+-------+-----+
| Id | Name | SKU |
+----+-------+-----+
| 1 | Nails | 123 |
| 2 | Nuts | 456 |
| 3 | Bolts | 789 |
+----+-------+-----+
invoiceheader (Id is the primary key)
+----+--------------+-----------+---------+
| Id | Date | Warehouse | BuyerId |
+----+--------------+-----------+---------+
| 1 | '2021-10-15' | 1 | 223 |
| 2 | '2021-09-18' | 1 | 356 |
| 3 | '2021-07-13' | 2 | 1 |
+----+--------------+-----------+---------+
invoiceitems (Id is the primary key)
+----+----------+--------+-----+-------+
| Id | HeaderId | GoodId | Qty | Price |
+----+----------+--------+-----+-------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 15 | 1.1 |
| 2 | 1 | 3 | 7 | 1.5 |
| 3 | 2 | 1 | 12 | 1.5 |
| 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1.3 |
+----+----------+--------+-----+-------+
What I'm trying to do is to get the MAX(invoiceheader.Date) for every invoiceitems.GoodId. Or, in everyday terms, to find out, preferably in a single query, when was the last time any of the goods were sold, from a specific warehouse.
To do that, I'm using a derived query, and the solution proposed here . In order to be able to do that, I think that I need to have a way of giving multiple (well, two) aliases for a derived table.
My query looks like this at the moment:
SELECT tmp.* /* placing the second alias here, before or after tmp.* doesn't work */
FROM ( /* placing the second alias, tmpClone, here also doesn't work */
SELECT
invoiceheader.Id,
invoiceheader.Date,
invoiceitems.HeaderId,
invoiceitems.Id,
invoiceitems.GoodId
FROM invoiceheader
LEFT JOIN invoiceitems
ON invoiceheader.Id = invoiceitems.HeaderId
WHERE invoiceheader.Warehouse = 3
AND invoiceheader.Date > '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
AND invoiceheader.Date IS NOT NULL
AND invoiceheader.Date > ''
AND invoiceitems.GoodId > 0
ORDER BY
invoiceitems.GoodId ASC,
invoiceheader.Date DESC
) tmp, tmpClone /* this doesn't work with or without a comma */
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
invoiceheader.Id,
MAX(invoiceheader.Date) AS maxDate
FROM tmpClone
WHERE invoiceheader.Warehouse = 3
GROUP BY invoiceitems.GoodId
) headerGroup
ON tmp.Id = headerGroup.Id
AND tmp.Date = headerGroup.maxDate
AND tmp.HeaderId = headerGroup.Id
Is it possible to set multiple aliases for a single derived table? If it is, how should I do it?
I'm using 5.5.52-MariaDB.
you can use both (inner select) and left join to achieve this for example:
select t1.b,(select t2.b from table2 as t2 where t1.x=t2.x) as 'Y' from table as t1 Where t1.y=(select t3.y from table3 as t3 where t2.a=t3.a)
While this doesn't answer my original question, it does solve the problem from which the question arose, and I'll leave it here in case anyone ever comes across a similar issue.
The following query does what I'd intended to do - find the newest sale date for the goods from the specific warehouse.
SELECT
invoiceheader.Id,
invoiceheader.Date,
invoiceitems.HeaderId,
invoiceitems.Id,
invoiceitems.GoodId
FROM invoiceheader
INNER JOIN invoiceitems
ON invoiceheader.Id = invoiceitems.HeaderId
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
MAX(invoiceheader.Date) AS maxDate,
invoiceitems.GoodId
FROM invoiceheader
INNER JOIN invoiceitems
ON invoiceheader.Id = invoiceitems.HeaderId
WHERE invoiceheader.Warehouse = 3
AND invoiceheader.Date > '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
AND invoiceheader.Date IS NOT NULL
AND invoiceheader.Date > ''
GROUP BY invoiceitems.GoodId
) tmpDate
ON invoiceheader.Date = tmpDate.maxDate
AND invoiceitems.GoodId = tmpDate.GoodId
WHERE invoiceheader.Warehouse = 3
AND invoiceitems.GoodId > 0
ORDER BY
invoiceitems.GoodId ASC,
invoiceheader.Date DESC
The trick was to join by taking into consideration two things - MAX(invoiceheader.Date) and invoiceitems.GoodId - since one GoodId can only appear once inside a specific invoiceheader / invoiceitems JOINing (strict limit imposed on the part of the code which inserts into invoiceitems).
Whether this is the most optimal solution (ignoring the redundant conditions in the query), and whether it would scale well, remains to be seen - it has been tested on tables with ~5000 entries for invoiceheader, ~60000 entries for invoiceitems, and ~4000 entries for goods. Execution time was < 1 sec.

union multiple tables and group with aggregation (SQlite)

I have such kind of a data:
table1
id | part | price
1 | ox900 | 100
2 | ox980 | 200
and
table2
id | part | price
1 | ox560 | 560
2 | ox980 | 120
as result I want to get such schema:
id | part | priceTable1 | priceTable2 | minPrice
1 | ox900 | 100 | | 100
1 | ox980 | 200 | 120 | 120
1 | ox560 | | 560 | 560
to simplify it can be without minPrice column...
now I have such query:
SELECT *
FROM (select part, price from supportContacts
union all
select part, price from supportContacts2)
group by part
but it's not exactly what I want to achieve.
Is it possible somehow to do, what I've described above?
Also a fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!7/f7401/7/0
SQLite does not support full outer joins, so get a list of all parts first, and then look up their prices with left outer joins:
SELECT part,
table1.price AS priceTable1,
table2.price AS priceTable2,
min(ifnull(table1.price, 'inf'),
ifnull(table2.price, 'inf')) AS minPrice
FROM (SELECT part FROM table1
UNION
SELECT part FROM table2)
LEFT JOIN table1 USING (part)
LEFT JOIN table2 USING (part);

SQL Query for Parent Child Data from two table

I have 2 table one table is Course Category and second is Course
In Course Category Table
Following data stores :
CategoryId | Name
1 | MCA
2 | MBA
In Course Table
Following data stores :
Id | Name | CategoryId | ParentId
1 | Asp.Net | 1 | 0
2 | C# | 1 | 1
3 | Finance | 2 | 0
i want following output
Id | Name | Parent
1 | MCA | 0
2 | MBA | 0
3 | Asp.Net | 1
4 | C# | 3
5 | Finance | 2
Whether i have to use nested query or should i relate two tables with foreign and primary keys or any mapping should be done.if not give me a solution to do this.
thanks in advance
select rownum as id, name, 0 as parent
from Category
union all
select rownum, name, id
from course
I assume that you only have one level of children (no cases like parent<-child<-child)
select c.id, t.name, parent.name, c.name from course c
join category t on c.categoryId = t.id
left join (select c2.id, c2.name from course c2) parent on c.parentId = parent.id
This should give you something like
id |categoryname |parentname |coursename
1 |MCA |null |Asp.Net
2 |MCA |Asp.Net |C#
3 |MBA |null |Finance
This is not exactly your desired result but should do the trick to display what you want.

UPDATE multiple rows using SELECT

I have A table and two rows with id=1 and id=2 and their x parameter is 1. I also have B table and two rows with same id 1 and 2. I am trying to update all of the data(column)on B table which has same id with A table whose x parameter is 1.
A table
id | x |
1 | 1 |
2 | 1 |
B table
id | Y |
1 | yes|
2 | yes|
My query is
UPDATE B SET y='No' WHERE B.id=(SELECT A.id FROM A WHERE A.x=1);
The problem is select returns mutliple data and i can only update the first data.
I tried to use JOIN but sqlite gives syntax error near INNER i couldn't find the problem.
UPDATE B SET B.y='No' INNER JOIN A ON B.id=A.id WHERE A.x=1;
Use this:
UPDATE ... WHERE B.id IN (SELECT A.id ...);

Pull a row from SQL database based on if the value of a column is changed

I need to pull a row in a select statement from a SQL database if a certain value in a table is changed.
For example, I have a column called price in a Price table. If the user changes the value for price (through an asp.net app), I want to select that entire row. This is going to be done in a workflow and an email is sent to the user that the row that was changed AFTER it was changed.
Does this make sense? Can someone point me in the right direction of a procedure or function to use? Thanks.
You could use an SQL trigger to accomplish this.
There is a tutorial (using Price as you described) that shows how to accomplish this here: http://benreichelt.net/blog/2005/12/13/making-a-trigger-fire-on-column-change/
well, in order to update a row, you'll have to update that row "WHERE uniqueID = [someid]". Can't you simply run a select immediately after that? (SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE uniquueID = [someid])
Without knowing what your data looks like (or what database this is, it's a little difficult) but assuming you have a history table with a date and an ID that stays the same like this...
+----+-------+------------+
| ID | PRICE | CHNG_DATE |
+----+-------+------------+
| 1 | 2.5 | 2001-01-01 |
| 1 | 42 | 2001-01-01 |
| 2 | 4 | 2001-01-01 |
| 2 | 4 | 2001-01-01 |
| 3 | 4 | 2001-01-01 |
| 3 | 3 | 2001-01-01 |
| 3 | 2 | 2001-01-01 |
+----+-------+------------+
and your database supports With and Row_number You could write the following
WITH data
AS (SELECT id,
price,
chng_date,
Row_number()
OVER (
partition BY id
ORDER BY chng_date) rn
FROM price)
SELECT data.id,
data.price new,
data_prv.price old,
data.chng_date
FROM data
INNER JOIN data data_prv
ON data.id = data_prv.id
AND data.rn = data_prv.rn + 1
WHERE data.price <> data_prv.price
That would produce this
+----+-----+-----+------------+
| ID | NEW | OLD | CHNG_DATE |
+----+-----+-----+------------+
| 1 | 42 | 2.5 | 2001-01-01 |
| 3 | 3 | 4 | 2001-01-01 |
| 3 | 2 | 3 | 2001-01-01 |
+----+-----+-----+------------+
Demo
If your Database supports LAG() its even eaiser
WITH data
AS (SELECT id,
price new,
chng_date,
Lag(price)
OVER (
partition BY id
ORDER BY chng_date) old
FROM price)
SELECT id,
new,
old,
chng_date
FROM data
WHERE new <> old
