I am trying to build a query which will do this:
Lets say for example I have 100 records in the table. I have .net form which calls the query. I have a querystring parameter pageindex, something like http://mysite.com?id=2.
What I want to do now is if id = NULL, then get the 1st set of records from that table whichave id of 1 to 20, means from 1 to 20, if id=2 then get the 2nd set of recordw, from row 20 to 40, if id=3 then get the 3rd set of records, meaning records from 40 to 60, from that table.
I want to know if this is possible.
Thanks a lot in advance, Laziale
If you make it as you say so, and the IDs are in line from 1 to 100 you can do
#Page is the page number (base on 0)
SELECT TOP 20 * FROM MyTable WHERE (ID > #Page*20) ORDER BY ID
If you wish to use the paging style of Ms SQL and the ids are not in line you can do
WITH NewTable AS (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RowNumber FROM MyTable)
SELECT TOP 20 * FROM NewTable WHERE (RowNumber > #Page*20)

Does anybody know how to do a group by query by n records.
For example if I have a db with xn records I would like to aggregate the first 3 and then the next 3 and so on.
Where {x,n member of positive integers excluding 0} :)
Thanks
This does exactly what you want :
SELECT int(((T.Rank - 1) / 3)) AS GroupID, SUM(T.field_to_agregate)
FROM
(
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM your_table AS T2 WHERE T1.ID>T2.ID) + 1 AS Rank , ID, field_to_agregate
FROM your_table AS T1
) T
GROUP BY int(((T.Rank - 1) / 3))
However since you did not posted any data sample and table structure (mistake!), I had to suppose that you have an ID field in your table, if not you will have to adapt it. If you don't suceed add more info about your data and I will adapt my query to match your table struct
Example:
It does not work.
UPDATE column_name SET rownum FROM table_name
This work!
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = rownum;
This works but the update is performed incorrectly
SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name;
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = rownum;
I wish the following update behavior:
Note:'rownum ' It is not a physical column of the table
/*
pc_comentario = tableName
cod_comentario = columnName (Reference column for sorting)
dtc_andamento = columnDay (Reference column to update the "columnName" according to the order of this column)
*/
rownum | columnName | columnDay
1 1 day 1
2 5 day 5
3 7 day 2
After change with update
rownum | columnName (Update this column) | columnDay (sort by this column)
1 1 day 1
2 2 day 2
3 3 day 5
ALMOST DONE! this column 'cod_comentario_1 "which was materialized in RAM is correct. I need this column" cod_comentario_1 "that does not exist in the table is acknowledged in the consultations with java.
SELECT cod_comentario, dtc_andamento, cod_processo ,
ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY cod_processo
ORDER BY dtc_andamento) cod_comentario_1
FROM pc_comentario
upadate do not work this way:
UPDATE (
SELECT cod_processo
ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY cod_processo
ORDER BY dtc_andamento)cod_comentario_1
FROM pc_comentario
) SET cod_comentario_1)
order by Seq
I must enter the values of this consultation in a new column that I created
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY cod_processo
ORDER BY dtc_andamento DESC)
FROM pc_comentario
Try:
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = rownum
Shouldn't it be like below rather; I believe UPDATE statement has no FROM clause
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = rownum;
Again, it will work only if rownum is an existing column in your table. If you are trying to use Oracle rownum instead then consider using row_number() function rather
update table_name set column_name =
select rn from ( select column_name, row_number() over (order by column_name) rn
from table_name ) xx;
As you state yourself, rownum is a virtual column. It assigns a sequential value to each row of a particular result set. Which means that the row number of a row could be completely different in the result set of a different query.
If you really want to show the row number as part of the result set, specify it as you would any column:
select rownum as columnName, columnDay
from table
order by ...;
I would like to determine particular IDs that are not present in a table.
For example, I have the IDs 1, 2 and 3 and want to know if they exist in the table.
Essentially this would boil down to:
SELECT id FROM (
SELECT 1 AS id
UNION
SELECT 2 AS id
UNION
SELECT 3 AS id
)
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.id = id)
Suppose table had the IDs 1 and 4, then this would yield 2 and 3.
Are there more elegant / concise / faster ways to get those IDs in SQLite ?
The compound SELECT operator EXCEPT allows you to do something similar to NOT EXISTS:
SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
SELECT 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 3
EXCEPT
SELECT id FROM MyTable
Beginning with SQLite 3.8.3, you can use VALUES everywhere you could use SELECT, but this is just a different syntax:
VALUES (1),
(2),
(3)
EXCEPT
SELECT id FROM MyTable
I'm adding an 'index' column to a table in SQLite3 to allow the users to easily reorder the data, by renaming the old database and creating a new one in its place with the extra columns.
The problem I have is that I need to give each row a unique number in the 'index' column when I INSERT...SELECT the old values.
A search I did turned up a useful term in Oracle called ROWNUM, but SQLite3 doesn't have that. Is there something equivalent in SQLite?
You can use one of the special row names ROWID, OID or _ROWID_ to get the rowid of a column. See http://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid for further details (and that the rows can be hidden by normal columns called ROWID and so on).
Many people here seems to mix up ROWNUM with ROWID. They are not the same concept and Oracle has both.
ROWID is a unique ID of a database ROW. It's almost invariant (changed during import/export but it is the same across different SQL queries).
ROWNUM is a calculated field corresponding to the row number in the query result. It's always 1 for the first row, 2 for the second, and so on. It is absolutely not linked to any table row and the same table row could have very different rownums depending of how it is queried.
Sqlite has a ROWID but no ROWNUM. The only equivalent I found is ROW_NUMBER() function (see http://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-window-functions/sqlite-row_number/).
You can achieve what you want with a query like this:
insert into new
select *, row_number() over ()
from old;
No SQLite doesn't have a direct equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM.
If I understand your requirement correctly, you should be able to add a numbered column based on ordering of the old table this way:
create table old (col1, col2);
insert into old values
('d', 3),
('s', 3),
('d', 1),
('w', 45),
('b', 5465),
('w', 3),
('b', 23);
create table new (colPK INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, col1, col2);
insert into new select NULL, col1, col2 from old order by col1, col2;
The new table contains:
.headers on
.mode column
select * from new;
colPK col1 col2
---------- ---------- ----------
1 b 23
2 b 5465
3 d 1
4 d 3
5 s 3
6 w 3
7 w 45
The AUTOINCREMENT does what its name suggests: each additional row has the previous' value incremented by 1.
I believe you want to use the constrain LIMIT in SQLite.
SELECT * FROM TABLE can return thousands of records.
However, you can constrain this by adding the LIMIT keyword.
SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 5;
Will return the first 5 records from the table returned in you query - if available
use this code For create Row_num 0....count_row
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM main AS t2
WHERE t2.col1 < t1.col1) + (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM main AS t3
WHERE t3.col1 = t1.col1 AND t3.col1 < t1.col1) AS rowNum, * FROM Table_name t1 WHERE rowNum=0 ORDER BY t1.col1 ASC
I have an column in table where this column name is items it contains value like this
itemID items
1 school,college
2 place, country
3 college,cricket
4 School,us,college
5 cricket,country,place
6 football,tennis,place
7 names,tennis,cricket
8 sports,tennis
Now I need to write a search query
Ex: if the user types 'cricket' into a textbox and clicks the button I need to check in the column items for cricket.
In the table I have 3 rows with cricket in the items column (ItemId = 3, 5, 7)
If the user types in tennis,cricket then I need to get the records that match either one. So I need to get 5 row (ItemId = 3, 5, 6, 7, 8)
How do I write a query for this requirement?
You need to start by redesigning your database as this is is a very bad structure. You NEVER store a comma delimited list in a field. First think about waht fields you need and then design a proper database.
The very bad structure of this table (holding multiple values in one column) is the reason you are facing this issue. Your best option is to normalize the table.
But if you can't, then you can use the "Like" operator, with a wildcard
Select * From Table
Where items Like '%cricket%'
or
Select * From Table
Where items Like '%cricket%'
or items Like '%tenis%'
You will need to dynamically construct these sql queries from the inputs the user makes. The other alternative is to write code on the server to turn the comma delimited list of parameters into a table variable or temp table and then join to it..
Delimited values in columns is almost always a bad table design. Fix your table structure.
If for some reason you are unable to do that, the best you can hope for is this:
SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE items LIKE '%CRICKET%'
This is still very bad, for two important reasons:
Correctness. It would return values that only contain the word cricket. Using your tennis example, what if you also had a "tennis shoes" item?
Performance. It's not sargable, which means the query won't work with any indexes you may have on that column. That means your query will probably be incredibly slow.
If you need help fixing this structure, the solution is to add another table — we'll call it TableItems — with a column for your ItemID that will be a foreign key to your original table and an item field (singular) for each of your item values. Then you can join to that table and match a column value exactly. If these items work more like categories, where you want to rows with the "Cricket" item to match the same cricket item, you also want a third table to be an intersection between your original table and the other one I just had you create.
For a single item:
SELECT itemID, items FROM MyTable WHERE items LIKE '%cricket%'
For multiple items:
SELECT itemID, items FROM MyTable WHERE items LIKE '%tennis%' or items LIKE '%cricket%'
You'll need to parse the input and split them up and add each item to the query:
items LIKE '%item1%' or items LIKE '%item2%' or items LIKE '%item3%' ...
I think that in the interest of validity of data, it should be normalized so that you split the Items into a separate table with an item on each row.
In either case, here is a working sample that uses a user defined function to split the incoming string into a Table Variable and then uses JOIN with a LIKE
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_ItemParse
(
#Input VARCHAR(8000),
#Delimeter char(1)='|'
)
RETURNS #ItemList TABLE
(
Item VARCHAR(50) ,
Pos int
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Item varchar(50)
DECLARE #StartPos int, #Length int
DECLARE #Pos int
SET #Pos = 0
WHILE LEN(#Input) > 0
BEGIN
SET #StartPos = CHARINDEX(#Delimeter, #Input)
IF #StartPos < 0 SET #StartPos = 0
SET #Length = LEN(#Input) - #StartPos - 1
IF #Length < 0 SET #Length = 0
IF #StartPos > 0
BEGIN
SET #Pos = #Pos + 1
SET #Item = SUBSTRING(#Input, 1, #StartPos - 1)
SET #Input = SUBSTRING(#Input, #StartPos + 1, LEN(#Input) - #StartPos)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET #Pos = #Pos+1
SET #Item = #Input
SET #Input = ''
END
INSERT #ItemList (Item, Pos) VALUES(#Item, #Pos)
END
RETURN
END
GO
DECLARE #Itemstable TABLE
(
ItemId INT,
Items VarChar (1000)
)
INSERT INTO #Itemstable
SELECT 1 itemID, 'school,college' items UNION
SELECT 2, 'place, country' UNION
SELECT 3, 'college,cricket' UNION
SELECT 4, 'School,us,college' UNION
SELECT 5, 'cricket,country,place' UNION
SELECT 6, 'footbal,tenis,place' UNION
SELECT 7, 'names,tenis,cricket' UNION
SELECT 8, 'sports,tenis'
DECLARE #SearchParameter VarChar (100)
SET #SearchParameter = 'cricket'
SELECT DISTINCT ItemsTable.*
FROM #Itemstable ItemsTable
INNER JOIN udf_ItemParse (#SearchParameter, ',') udf
ON ItemsTable.Items LIKE '%' + udf.Item + '%'
SET #SearchParameter = 'cricket,tenis'
SELECT DISTINCT ItemsTable.*
FROM #Itemstable ItemsTable
INNER JOIN udf_ItemParse (#SearchParameter, ',') udf
ON ItemsTable.Items LIKE '%' + udf.Item + '%'
Why exactly are you using a database in the first place?
I mean : you are clearly not using it's potential. If you like using comma separated stuff, try a file.
In MySQL, create a fulltext index on your table:
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX fx_mytable_items ON mytable (items)
and issue this query:
SELECT *
FROM mytable
WHERE MATCH(items) AGAINST ('cricket tennis' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
