I have one table that need to split into several other tables.
But the main table is just like a transitive table.
I dump data from a excel into it (from 5k to 200k rows) , and using insert into select, split into the correct tables (Five different tables).
However, the latest dataset that my client sent has records with duplicates values.
The primary key usually is ENI for my table. But even this record is duplicated because the same company can be a customer and a service provider, so they have two different registers but use the same ENI.
What i have so far.
I found a script that uses merge and modified it to find same eni and update the same main_id to all
|Main_id| ENI | company_name| Type
| 1 | 1864 | JOHN | C
| 2 | 351485 | JOEL | C
| 3 | 16546 | MICHEL | C
| 2 | 351485 | JOEL J. | S
| 1 | 1864 | JOHN E. E. | C
Main_id: Primarykey that the main BD uses
ENI: Unique company number
Type: 'C' - COSTUMER 'S' - SERVICE PROVIDERR
Some Cases it can have the same type. just like id 1
there are several other Columns...
What i need:
insert any of the main_id my other script already sorted, and set a flag on the others that they were not inserted. i cant delete any data i'll need to send these info to the costumer validate.
or i just simply cant make this way and go back to the good old excel
Edit: as a question below this is a example
|Main_id| ENI | company_name| Type| RANK|
| 1 | 1864 | JOHN | C | 1 |
| 2 | 351485 | JOEL | C | 1 |
| 3 | 16546 | MICHEL | C | 1 |
| 2 | 351485 | JOEL J. | S | 2 |
| 1 | 1864 | JOHN E. E. | C | 2 |
RANK - would be like the 1864 appears 2 times,
1st one found gets 1 second 2 and so on. i tryed using
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY MAIN_ID ORDER BY ENI)
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY company_name ORDER BY ENI)
Thanks to TEJASH i was able to come up with this solution
MERGE INTO TABLEA S
USING (Select ROWID AS ID,
row_number() Over(partition by eniorder by eni, type) as RANK_DUPLICATED
From TABLEA
) T
ON (S.ROWID = T.ID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET S.RANK_DUPLICATED= T.RANK_DUPLICATED;
As far as I understood your problem, you just need to know the duplicate based on 2 columns. You can achieve it using analytical function as follows:
Select t.*,
row_number() Over(partition by main_id, eni order by company_name) as rnk
From your_table t
Is it possible, in a DAX measure, to check if the current query contains a particular column?
For example, I have a column named "Time" - is it possible to detect if a user in a self service environment has included this in their report, from the measure?
Edit - adding example of an output
An example output would be below
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | ContainsCol3 |
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
| Value 1 | Value 2 | 123 | True |
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
| Col1 | Col2 | Col4 | ContainsCol3 |
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
| Value 1 | Value 2 | 123 | False |
+---------+---------+------+--------------+
The query containing Col3 returns true, the query that does not include col3 returns false.
not exactly, but you can use functions like ISCROSSFILTERED, ISFILTERED, HASONEFILTER, HASONEVALUE which might be sufficient depending on your end-goal.
input data is
+----------------------+--------------------------------+
| movie_name | Genres |
+----------------------+--------------------------------+
| digimon | Adventure|Animation|Children's |
| Slumber_Party_Massac | Horror |
+----------------------+--------------------------------+
i need output like
+----------------------+--------------------------------+-----------------+
| movie_name | Genres | count_of_genres |
+----------------------+--------------------------------+-----------------+
| digimon | Adventure|Animation|Children's | 3 |
| Slumber_Party_Massac | Horror | 1 |
+----------------------+--------------------------------+-----------------+
select *
,size(split(coalesce(Genres,''),'[^|\\s]+'))-1 as count_of_genres
from mytable
This solution covers varying use-cases, including -
NULL values
Empty strings
Empty tokens (e.g. Adventure||Animation orAdventure| |Animation )
This is a really, really bad way to store data. You should have a separate MovieGenres table with one row per movie and per genre.
One method is to use length() and replace():
select t.*,
(1 + length(genres) - length(replace(genres, '|', ''))) as num_genres
from t;
This assumes that each movie has at least one genre. If not, you need to test for that as well.
I'm cranking my head on a set of data in order to generate a report from a Oracle DB.
Data are in two tables:
SUPPLY
DEVICE
There is only one column that links the two tables:
SUPPLY.DEVICE_ID
DEVICE.ID
In SUPPLY, there are these data: (Markdown is not working well. it's supposed to show a table)
| DEVICE_ID | COLOR_TYPE | SERIAL | UNINSTALL_DATE |
|----------- |------------ |-------------- |--------------------- |
| 1232 | 1 | CAP857496 | 08/11/2016,19:10:50 |
| 5263 | 2 | CAP57421 | 07/11/2016,11:20:00 |
| 758 | 3 | CBO753421869 | 07/11/2016,04:25:00 |
| 758 | 4 | CC9876543 | 06/11/2016,11:40:00 |
| 8575 | 4 | CVF75421 | 05/11/2016,23:59:00 |
| 758 | 4 | CAP67543 | 30/09/2016,11:00:00 |
In DEVICE, there are columns that I've to select all (more or less), but each row is unique.
What i need to achieve is:
for each SUPPLY.DEVICE_ID and SUPPLY.COLOR_TYPE, I need the most recent ROW -> MAX(UNINSTALL_DATE)
JOINED with
more or less all the columns in DEVICE.
At the end I should have something like this:
| ACCOUNT_CODE | MODEL | DEVICE.SERIAL | DEVICE_ID | COLOR_TYPE | SUPPLY.SERIAL | UNINSTALL_DATE |
|-------------- |------- |--------------- |----------- |------------ |--------------- |--------------------- |
| BUSTO | MS410 | LM753 | 1232 | 1 | CAP857496 | 08/11/2016,19:10:50 |
| MACCHI | MX310 | XC876 | 5263 | 2 | CAP57421 | 07/11/2016,11:20:00 |
| ASL_COMO | MX711 | AB123 | 758 | 3 | CBO753421869 | 07/11/2016,04:25:00 |
| ASL_COMO | MX711 | AB123 | 758 | 4 | CC9876543 | 06/11/2016,11:40:00 |
| ASL_VARESE | X950 | DE8745 | 8575 | 4 | CVF75421 | 05/11/2016,23:59:00 |
So far, using a nested select like:
SELECT DEVICE_ID,COLOR_TYPE,SERIAL,UNINSTALL_DATE FROM
(SELECT SELECT DEVICE_ID,COLOR_TYPE,SERIAL,UNINSTALL_DATE
FROM SUPPLY WHERE DEVICE_ID = '123456' ORDER BY UNINSTALL_DATE DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <= 1
I managed to get the highest value on the UNISTALL_DATE column after trying MAX(UNISTALL_DATE) or HIGHEST(UNISTALL_DATE).
I tried also:
SELECT SUPPLY.DEVICE_ID, SUPPLY.COLOR_TYPE, ....
FROM SUPPLY,DEVICE WHERE SUPPLY.DEVICE_ID = DEVICE.ID
and it works, but gives me ALL the items, basically it's a merge of the two tables.
When I try to narrow the data selected, i get errors or a empty result.
I'm starting to wonder that it's not possible to obtain this data and i'm starting to export the data in excel and work from there, but I wish someone can help me before giving up...
Thank you in advance.
for each SUPPLY.DEVICE_ID and SUPPLY.COLOR_TYPE, I need the most recent ROW -> MAX(UNINSTALL_DATE)
Use ROW_NUMBER function in this way:
SELECT s.*,
row_number() OVER (
PARTITION BY DEVICE_ID, COLOR_TYPE
ORDER BY UNINSTALL_DATE DESC
) As RN
FROM SUPPLY s
This query marks most recent rows with RN=1
JOINED with more or less all the columns in DEVICE.
Just join the above query to DEVICE table
SELECT d.*,
x.COLOR_TYPE,
x.SERIAL,
x.UNINSTALL_DATE
FROM (
SELECT s.*,
row_number() OVER (
PARTITION BY DEVICE_ID, COLOR_TYPE
ORDER BY UNINSTALL_DATE DESC
) As RN
FROM SUPPLY s
) x
JOIN DEVICE d
ON d.DEVICE_ID = x.DEVICE_ID AND x.RN=1
OK - so you could group by device_id, color_type and select max(uninstall_date) as well, and join to the other table. But you would miss the serial value for the most recent row (for each combination of device_id, color_type).
There are a few ways to fix that. Your attempt with rownum was close, but the problem is that you need to order within each "group" (by device_id, color_type) and get the first row from each group. I am sure someone will post a solution along those lines, using either row_number() or rank() or perhaps the analytic version of max(uninstall_date).
When you just need the "top" row from each group, you can use keep (dense_rank first/last) - which may be slightly more efficient - like so:
select device_id, color_type,
max(serial) keep (dense_rank last order by uninstall_date) as serial,
max(uninstall_date) as uninstall_date
from supply
group by device_id, color_type
;
and then join to the other table. NOTE: dense_rank last will pick up the row OR ROWS with the most recent (max) date for each group. If there are ties, that is more than one row; the serial will then be the max (in lexicographical order) among those rows with the most recent date. You can also select min, or add some order so you pick a specific one (you didn't discuss this possibility).
SELECT
d.ACCOUNT_CODE, d.DNS_HOST_NAME,d.IP_ADDRESS,d.MODEL_NAME,d.OVERRIDE_SERIAL_NUMBER,d.SERIAL_NUMBER,
s.COLOR, s.SERIAL_NUMBER, s.UNINSTALL_TIME
FROM (
SELECT s.DEVICE_ID, s.LAST_LEVEL_READ, s.SERIAL_NUMBER,TRUNC(s.UNINSTALL_TIME), row_number()
OVER (
PARTITION BY DEVICE_ID, COLOR
ORDER BY UNINSTALL_TIME DESC
) As RN
FROM SUPPLY s
WHERE s.UNINSTALL_TIME IS NOT NULL AND s.SERIAL_NUMBER IS NOT NULL
)
JOIN DEVICE d
ON d.ID = s.DEVICE_ID AND s.RN=1;
#krokodilko: thank you very much for your help. First query works. Modified it in order to remove junk, putting real columns name i need (yesterday evening i had no access to the DB) and getting only the data I need.
Unfortunately, when I join the two tables as you suggested I get error:
ORA-00904: "S"."RN": invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
If i remove s. before RN, the ORA-00904 moves back to s.DEVICE_ID.
I am using Oracle.
I am currently working one 2 tables which both have the same column names. Is there any way in which I can combine the 2 tables together as they are?
Simple example to show what I mean:
TABLE 1:
| COLUMN 1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 |
----------------------------------------
| a | 1 | w |
| b | 2 | x |
TABLE 2:
| COLUMN 1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 |
----------------------------------------
| c | 3 | y |
| d | 4 | z |
RESULT THAT I WANT:
| COLUMN 1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 |
----------------------------------------
| a | 1 | w |
| b | 2 | x |
| c | 3 | y |
| d | 4 | z |
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
You can use the union set operator to get the result of two queries as a single result set:
select column1, column2, column3
from table1
union all
select column1, column2, column3
from table2
union on its own implicitly removes duplicates; union all preserves them. More info here.
The column names don't need to be the same, you just need the same number of columns with the same datatpes, in the same order.
(This is not what is usually meant by a join, so the title of your question is a bit misleading; I'm basing this on the example data and output you showed.)
