Handle a SUM and COUNT through 3 GROUPINGS.

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-

It can be done by a single query, just use case expressions inside the COUNT() function 
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
;

as an additional note, if you do ever need to use multiple queries like you have been doing so far AND you are summing those values do NOT use "UNION"

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.

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

from

JOIN

ON

where

group by COL0, COL1,COL2,COL4,COL3,((COL5+ COL6) -( COL7 + COL8+ COL9))
)

---------------------

SELECT COL3, COL4,  COL1, COL2, COL10,
SUM(EighthColumn) [6thCol],
SUM(SeventhColumn) [7thCol],
SUM(SixthColumn) [8thCol]
from
(
select COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10,  COUNT(COL0) SixthColumn, 0 SeventhColumn, 0 EighthColumn from CTE WHERE COL11 > COL10 group by COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10 union
select COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL10,  0 SixthColumn, 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 SixthColumn, 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
 ORDER BY COL1

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
 ORDER BY 3
