Handle a SUM and COUNT through 3 GROUPINGS.
Posted on 2013-11-07
Can you suggest if the below can be bettered or simplified.. the logic is as below:
The first 3 queries are put into 3 temp tables A B and C. The only difference between the 3 queries are in the HAVING clause.
Because we are doing a SUM on Col10, I was not able to do a COUNT on another column (Col0) on the same query.
So I am doing my count on Col3, in three seperate queries from A, B, C temp tables - doing a UNION on them, and then grouping them again with 3 SUM operations.
thanks-

i have edited the above with a CTE so the code is smaller.. can you suggest any improvements/suggestions?
;WITH CTE as
(
select COL0,COL1 , COL2, COL3, COL4, ((COL5+ COL6) - ( COL7 + COL8+ COL9)) COL10 ,sum(COL11) COL11

ON

group by COL0, COL1,COL2,COL4,COL3,((COL5

It seems that there should be a simpler way. Can you provide some sample relevant data for your beginning table structures and your expected output withe some description of how your results are to be generated?

king, please create this table..
CREATE TABLE CTE (COL0 INT,COL1 VARCHAR(11) , COL2 INT, COL3 VARCHAR(11), COL4 INT,COL10 SMALLINT,COL11 SMALLINT)
then upload the attached csv to it please using Export/Import.
then run this:
SELECT COL3, COL4, COL1, COL2, COL10,
SUM(EighthColumn) [6thCol],
SUM(SeventhColumn) [7thCol],
SUM(COL0) [8thCol]
from
(
select COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10, COUNT(COL0) COL0, 0 SeventhColumn, 0 EighthColumn from CTE WHERE COL11 > COL10 group by COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10 union
select COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10, 0 COL0, COUNT(COL0) SeventhColumn, 0 EighthColumn from CTE WHERE COL11 = COL10 group by COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10 union
select COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10, 0 COL0, 0 SeventhColumn, COUNT(COL0) EighthColumn from CTE WHERE COL11 < COL10 group by COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10
)a
GROUP BY COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10

It can be done by a single query, just use case expressions inside the COUNT() function
You should have been using UNION ALL
UNION by itself can make rows 'disappear' and your sum() could be wrong
UNION ALL does not make rows disappear, and it is faster too.
SELECT
COL1
, COL2
, COL3
, COL4
, COL10
, count(CASE WHEN COL11 < COL10 THEN COL0 END) [6thCol_11_lt_10]
, count(CASE WHEN COL11 = COL10 THEN COL0 END) [7thCol_10_eq_11]
, count(CASE WHEN COL11 > COL10 THEN COL0 END) [8thCol_11_gt_10]
FROM CTE
GROUP BY
COL1
, COL2
, COL3
, COL4
, COL10
ORDER BY
COL1
;
