I have SQL query like this:
select * from dbo.table1 where Id in
(
select max(id) as id from dbo.table1 group by prop1, prop2, prop3
)
I want to create NHibernate query which is be able to do this for me. I tried to use QueryOver but it doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions how to do it?
NHibernate supports even this kind of queries. Please, see more in documentation: 15.8. Detached queries and subqueries. We just have to split the query (as in your SQL snippet) into two parts:
inner select
the select with the IN clause
Let's assume, that the dbo.table1 in the Questin is mapped into MyEntity.
To create inner select, let's use the DetachedCriteria
EDIT (extended with the Group by, SqlGroupProjection)
There is an extract of the SqlGroupProjection method:
A grouping SQL projection, specifying both select clause and group by
clause fragments
// inner select
DetachedCriteria innerSelect = DetachedCriteria
.For(typeof(MyEntity))
.SetProjection(
Projections.ProjectionList()
.Add(
Projections.SqlGroupProjection(
" MAX(ID) ", // SELECT ... max(ID) only
" Prop1, Prop2, Prop3", // GROUP BY ... property1, p2...
new string[] {"ID"}, // could be empty, while not used for
new IType[] { NHibernate.NHibernateUtil.Int32 } // transformation
)
)
;
Note: I've provided even the last two paramters, but in this case they could be empty: new string[], new IType[] {}. These are used only for Transformation (materialization from data into entity). And this is not the case, we are just building inner select...
// the select with IN clause
var result = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(MyEntity))
.Add(Subqueries.PropertyIn("ID", innerSelect))
.List<MyEntity>();

Im trying to write a recursive query for a use on a old and poorly designed database - and so the queries get quite complex.
Here is the (relevant) table relationships
Because people asked - here is the creation code for these tables:
CREATE TABLE CircuitLayout(
CircuitLayoutID int,
PRIMARY KEY (CircuitLayoutID)
);
CREATE TABLE LitCircuit (
LitCircuitID int,
CircuitLayoutID int,
PRIMARY KEY (LitCircuitID)
FOREIGN KEY (CircuitLayoutID) REFERENCES CircuitLayout(CircuitLayoutID)
);
CREATE TABLE CircuitLayoutItem(
CircuitLayoutItemID int,
CircuitLayoutID int,
TableName varchar(255),
TablePK int,
PRIMARY KEY (CircuitLayoutItemID)
FOREIGN KEY (CircuitLayoutID) REFERENCES CircuitLayout(CircuitLayoutID)
);
TableName refers to another table in the database and thus TablePK is a primary key from the specified table
One of the valid options for TableName is LitCircuit
I'm trying to write a query that will select a circuit and any circuit it is related to
I am having trouble understanding the syntax for recursive ctes
my non-functional attempt is this:
WITH RECURSIVE carries AS (
SELECT LitCircuit.LitCircuitID AS recurseList FROM LitCircuit
JOIN CircuitLayoutItem ON LitCircuit.CircuitLayoutID = CircuitLayoutItem.CircuitLayoutID
WHERE CircuitLayoutItem.TableName = "LitCircuit" AND CircuitLayoutItem.TablePK IN (00340)
UNION
SELECT LitCircuit.LitCircuitID AS CircuitIDs FROM LitCircuit
JOIN CircuitLayout ON LitCircuit.CircuitLayoutID = CircuitLayoutItem.CircuitLayoutID
WHERE CircuitLayoutItem.TableName = "LitCircuit" AND CircuitLayoutItem.TablePK IN (SELECT recurseList FROM carries)
)
SELECT * FROM carries;
the "00340" is a dummy number for testing, and it would get replaced with an actual list in usage
What i'm attempting to do is get a list of LitCircuitIDs based on one or many LitCircuitIDs - that's the anchor member, and that works fine.
What I want to do is take this result and feed it back into itself.
I lack an understanding of how to access data from the anchor member:
I don't know if it is a table with the columns from the select in the anchor or if it is simply a list of resulting values
I dont understand if or where I need to include "carries" in the FROM part of a query
If I were to write this function in python I would do it like this:
def get_circuits(circuit_list):
result_list = []
for layout_item_key, layout_item in CircuitLayoutItem.items():
if layout_item['TableName'] == "LitCircuit" and layout_item['TablePK'] in circuit_list:
layout = layout_item['CircuitLayoutID']
for circuit_key, circuit in LitCircuit.items():
if circuit["CircuitLayoutID"] == layout:
result_list.append(circuit_key)
result_list.extend(get_circuits(result_list))
return result_list
How do I express this in SQL?
danblack's comment made me realize something I was missing:
Here is what I was trying to do:
WITH RECURSIVE carries AS (
SELECT LitCircuit.LitCircuitID FROM LitCircuit
JOIN CircuitLayoutItem ON LitCircuit.CircuitLayoutID = CircuitLayoutItem.CircuitLayoutID
WHERE CircuitLayoutItem.TableName = 'LitCircuit' AND CircuitLayoutItem.TablePK IN (00340)
UNION ALL
SELECT LitCircuit.LitCircuitID FROM carries
JOIN CircuitLayoutItem ON carries.LitCircuitID = CircuitLayoutItem.TablePK
JOIN LitCircuit ON CircuitLayoutItem.CircuitLayoutID = LitCircuit.CircuitLayoutID
WHERE CircuitLayoutItem.TableName = 'LitCircuit'
)
SELECT DISTINCT LitCircuitID FROM carries;
I did not think of the CTE as a table to query against - rather just a result set, so I did not realize you have to SELECT from it - or in general treat it like a table.
I have a query which nearly returns the data I need:
SELECT *
FROM a in c.Things
WHERE ARRAY_CONTAINS(['ThingA', 'ThingB'], a.Name)
The problem is that the array ['ThingA', 'ThingB'] can't be hard-coded, as the values in the array should by dynamically generated based off some query. For this example, that query is this:
select VALUE ARRAY (
SELECT VALUE a.Name
FROM a in c.Things
where a.Visible)
from c
WHERE c.Discriminator='Type'
Which returns something like: ['ThingOne', 'ThingTwo']
Is it possible to include a query inside ARRAY_CONTAINS like this:
SELECT *
FROM a in c.Attributes
WHERE ARRAY_CONTAINS(
( select VALUE ARRAY(
SELECT VALUE a.Name
FROM a in c.Things
where a.Visible)
from c
WHERE c.Discriminator='Type'
)
, a.Name)
If I run this in Cosmos DB Studio I get this error:
Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Query.Core.Exceptions.ExpectedQueryPartitionProviderException: {"errors":[{"severity":"Error","location":{"start":147,"end":148},"code":"SC2001","message":"Identifier 'c' could not be resolved."}
If I understand correctly, your inner query is independent of the outer query, so what you want is an uncorrelated subquery. This is not supported in Cosmos DB; the documentation says:
Azure Cosmos DB supports only correlated subqueries.
I have the following columns in a SQLite DB.
id,ts,origin,product,bid,ask,nextts
1,2016-10-18 20:20:54.733,SourceA,Dow,1.09812,1.0982,
2,2016-10-18 20:20:55.093,SourceB,Oil,7010.5,7011.5,
3,2016-10-18 20:20:55.149,SourceA,Dow,18159.0,18161.0,
How can I populate the 'next timestamp' column (nextts) with the next timestamp for the same product (ts), from the same source? I've been trying the following, but I can't seem to put a subquery in an UPDATE statement.
UPDATE TEST a SET nextts = (select ts
from TEST b
where b.id> a.id and a.origin = b.origin and a.product = b.product
order by id asc limit 1);
If I call this, I can display it, but I haven't found a way of updating the value yet.
select a.*,
(select ts
from TEST b
where b.id> a.id and a.origin = b.origin and a.product = b.product
order by id asc limit 1) as nextts
from TEST a
order by origin, a.id;
The problem is that you're using table alias for table in UPDATE statement, which is not allowed. You can skip alias from there and use unaliased (but table-name prefixed) reference to its columns (while keeping aliased references for the SELECT), like this:
UPDATE TEST
SET nextts = (
SELECT b.ts
FROM TEST b
WHERE b.id > TEST.id AND
TEST.origin = b.origin AND
TEST.product = b.product
ORDER BY b.id ASC
LIMIT 1
);
Prefixing unaliased column references with the table name is necessary for SQLite to identify that you're referencing to unaliased table. Otherwise the id column whould be understood as the id from the closest[*] possible data source, in which case it's the aliased table (as b alias), while we're interested in the unaliased table, therefore we need to explicitly tell SQLite that.
[*] Closest data source is the one listed in the same query, or parent query, or parent's parent query, etc. SQLite is looking for the first data source (going from inner part to the outside) in the query hierarchy that defines this column.
How can I put a table name dynamically in a query?
Suppose I have a query as shown below:
Select a.amount
,b.sal
,a.name
,b.address
from alloc a
,part b
where a.id=b.id;
In the above query I want to use a table dynamically (part b if the database is internal, p_part b if the database if external).
I have a function that returns which database it is. Suppose the function is getdatabase();
select decode(getdatabase(),'internal','part b','external','p_part b')
from dual;
How can I use this function in my main query to insert the table name dynamically into the query?
I don't want to implement this using the primitive way of by appending strings to make a final query and then open cursor with that string.

That's really the only way you can do it. It's not possible to use a variable or function call for the table name when using a regular PL/SQL SQL block, you have to use dynamic SQL.
Refer to Oracle documentation for more details:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10500_01/appdev.920/a96590/adg09dyn.htm
Here's an example from the doc:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT d.id, e.name
FROM dept_new d, TABLE(d.emps) e -- not allowed in static SQL
-- in PL/SQL
WHERE e.id = 1'
INTO deptid, ename;
You can do this without dynamic SQL, assuming both tables (part and p_part) are available at compile time:
select a.amount
,b.sal
,a.name
,b.address
from alloc a
,part b
where a.id=b.id
and (select getdatabase() from dual) = 'internal'
UNION ALL
select a.amount
,b.sal
,a.name
,b.address
from alloc a
,p_part b
where a.id=b.id
and (select getdatabase() from dual) = 'external'
;
I've put the function call in a subquery so that it is run only once per call (i.e. twice, in this instance).
I need to get column names and their tables in a SQLite database. What I need is a resultset with 2 columns: table_name | column_name.
In MySQL, I'm able to get this information with a SQL query on database INFORMATION_SCHEMA. However the SQLite offers table sqlite_master:
sqlite> create table students (id INTEGER, name TEXT);
sqlite> select * from sqlite_master;
table|students|students|2|CREATE TABLE students (id INTEGER, name TEXT)
which results a DDL construction query (CREATE TABLE) which is not helpful for me and I need to parse this to get relevant information.
I need to get list of tables and join them with columns or just get columns along with table name column. So PRAGMA table_info(TABLENAME) is not working for me since I don't have table name. I want to get all column metadata in the database.
Is there a better way to get that information as a result set by querying database?
You've basically named the solution in your question.
To get a list of tables (and views), query sqlite_master as in
SELECT name, sql FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type='table'
ORDER BY name;
(see the SQLite FAQ)
To get information about the columns in a specific table, use PRAGMA table_info(table-name); as explained in the SQLite PRAGMA documentation.
I don't know of any way to get tablename|columnname returned as the result of a single query. I don't believe SQLite supports this. Your best bet is probably to use the two methods together to return the information you're looking for - first get the list of tables using sqlite_master, then loop through them to get their columns using PRAGMA table_info().
Recent versions of SQLite allow you to select against PRAGMA results now, which makes this easy:
SELECT
m.name as table_name,
p.name as column_name
FROM
sqlite_master AS m
JOIN
pragma_table_info(m.name) AS p
ORDER BY
m.name,
p.cid
where p.cid holds the column order of the CREATE TABLE statement, zero-indexed.
David Garoutte answered this here, but this SQL should execute faster, and columns are ordered by the schema, not alphabetically.
Note that table_info also contains
type (the datatype, like integer or text),
notnull (1 if the column has a NOT NULL constraint)
dflt_value (NULL if no default value)
pk (1 if the column is the table's primary key, else 0)
RTFM: https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_table_info
There are ".tables" and ".schema [table_name]" commands which give kind of a separated version to the result you get from "select * from sqlite_master;"
There is also "pragma table_info([table_name]);" command to get a better result for parsing instead of a construction query:
sqlite> .tables
students
sqlite> .schema students
create table students(id INTEGER, name TEXT);
sqlite> pragma table_info(students);
0|id|INTEGER|0||0
1|name|TEXT|0||0
Hope, it helps to some extent...
Another useful trick is to first get all the table names from sqlite_master.
Then for each one, fire off a query "select * from t where 1 = 0". If you analyze the structure of the resulting query - depends on what language/api you're calling it from - you get a rich structure describing the columns.
In python
c = ...db.cursor()
c.execute("select * from t where 1=0");
c.fetchall();
print c.description;

PS. I'm in the habit of using 'where 1=0' because the record limiting syntax seems to vary from db to db. Furthermore, a good database will optimize out this always-false clause.
The same effect, in SQLite, is achieved with 'limit 0'.
FYI, if you're using .Net you can use the DbConnection.GetSchema method to retrieve information that usually is in INFORMATION_SCHEMA. If you have an abstraction layer you can have the same code for all types of databases (NOTE that MySQL seems to swich the 1st 2 arguments of the restrictions array).
Try this sqlite table schema parser, I implemented the sqlite table parser for parsing the table definitions in PHP.
It returns the full definitions (unique, primary key, type, precision, not null, references, table constraints... etc)
https://github.com/maghead/sqlite-parser
The syntax follows sqlite create table statement syntax: http://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html
This is an old question but because of the number of times it has been viewed we are adding to the question for the simple reason most of the answers tell you how to find the TABLE names in the SQLite Database
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE TABLE NAME IS NOT IN THE DATABASE ?
This is happening to our app because we are creating TABLES programmatically
So the code below will deal with the issue when the TABLE is NOT in or created by the Database Enjoy
public void toPageTwo(View view){
if(etQuizTable.getText().toString().equals("")){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Enter Table Name\n\n"
+" OR"+"\n\nMake Table First", Toast.LENGTH_LONG
).show();
etQuizTable.requestFocus();
return;
}
NEW_TABLE = etQuizTable.getText().toString().trim();
db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
ArrayList<String> arrTblNames = new ArrayList<>();
Cursor c = db.rawQuery("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE
type='table'", null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
while ( !c.isAfterLast() ) {
arrTblNames.add( c.getString( c.getColumnIndex("name")) );
c.moveToNext();
}
}
c.close();
db.close();
boolean matchFound = false;
for(int i=0;i<arrTblNames.size();i++) {
if(arrTblNames.get(i).equals(NEW_TABLE)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(ManageTables.this, TableCreate.class
);
startActivity( intent );
matchFound = true;
}
}
if (!matchFound) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Such Table\n\n"
+" OR"+"\n\nMake Table First", Toast.LENGTH_LONG
).show();
etQuizTable.requestFocus();
}
}
