Query select.

  • Hi,

    I have a sample data and table as:

    Field0Field1Field2Field3Field4Field5
    1000Text1Text2Text3Text4Text5
    1000Text1Text2Text3
    1001Text6Text7Text8Text9Text10
    1002Text11Text12Text13Text14Text15
    1003Text16Text17Text18Text19Text20
    1003Text16Text17Text18
    1005 Text16Text17Text18

    How do i query for if Field0 is the same, pick the one have data for Field4 and Field5, Ignore the one with "blank" in field4 and field5.

    The result:

    Field0Field1Field2Field3Field4Field5
    1000Text1Text2Text3Text4Text5
    1001Text6Text7Text8Text9Text10
    1002Text11Text12Text13Text14Text15
    1003Text16Text17Text18Text19Text20
    1005 Text16Text17Text18

    Please advice and thanks in advance!

    Here is the create table and insert sample data

    CREATE TABLE T1 (
    Field0 int ,
    Field1 varchar(50) ,
    Field2 varchar(50) ,
    Field3 varchar(50) ,
    Field4 varchar(50),
    Field5 varchar(50)
    );
    INsert into T1 (Field0, Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5)
    Values
    ('1000','Text1','Text2','Text3','Text4','Text5'),
    ('1000','Text1','Text2','Text3',' ',' '),
    ('1001','Text6','Text7','Text8','Text9','Text10'),
    ('1002','Text11','Text12','Text13','Text14','Text15'),
    ('1003','Text16','Text17','Text18','Text19','Text20'),
    ('1003','Text16','Text17','Text18',' ',' ')
    ('1005','Text16','Text17','Text18',' ',' ')

  • If the display order of the result set doesn't matter, using TOP(1) WITH TIES and ordering by the ROW_NUMBER

    select top(1) with ties *
    from #t1
    order by row_number() over (partition by Field0
    order by Field4 desc,
    Field5 desc);

    If the display order matters, using a CTE and assigning the ROW_NUMBER to a column

    with t_cte as (
    select *, row_number() over (partition by Field0
    order by Field4 desc,
    Field5 desc) rn
    from #t1)
    select Field0, Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5
    from t_cte
    where rn=1
    order by Field0;

  • An alternative:

    SELECT
    Field0,
    CASE WHEN Field1_with_Field4 <> '' THEN Field1_with_Field4 ELSE Field1_without_Field4 END AS Field1,
    CASE WHEN Field1_with_Field4 <> '' THEN Field2_with_Field4 ELSE Field2_without_Field4 END AS Field2,
    CASE WHEN Field1_with_Field4 <> '' THEN Field3_with_Field4 ELSE Field3_without_Field4 END AS Field3,
    CASE WHEN Field1_with_Field4 <> '' THEN Field4_with_Field4 ELSE Field4_without_Field4 END AS Field4,
    CASE WHEN Field1_with_Field4 <> '' THEN Field5_with_Field4 ELSE Field5_without_Field4 END AS Field5
    FROM (
    SELECT
    Field0,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 <> '' THEN Field1 END) AS Field1_with_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 <> '' THEN Field2 END) AS Field2_with_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 <> '' THEN Field3 END) AS Field3_with_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 <> '' THEN Field4 END) AS Field4_with_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 <> '' THEN Field5 END) AS Field5_with_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 = '' THEN Field1 END) AS Field1_without_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 = '' THEN Field2 END) AS Field2_without_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 = '' THEN Field3 END) AS Field3_without_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 = '' THEN Field4 END) AS Field4_without_Field4,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Field4 = '' THEN Field5 END) AS Field5_without_Field4
    FROM dbo.T1
    GROUP BY Field0
    ) AS derived
    ORDER BY Field0

  • Another alternative

    SELECT Field0
    ,Field1
    ,Field2
    ,Field3
    ,Field4 = MAX(Field4)
    ,Field5 = MAX(Field5)
    FROM dbo.T1
    GROUP BY Field0
    ,Field1
    ,Field2
    ,Field3;

  • A more refined alternative, which does not run the risk of losing rows through aggregation:

    SELECT t.Field0
    ,t.Field1
    ,t.Field2
    ,t.Field3
    ,t.Field4
    ,t.Field5
    FROM dbo.T1 t
    WHERE (
    t.Field4 <> ''
    AND t.Field5 <> ''
    )
    OR
    (
    t.Field4 = ''
    AND t.Field5 = ''
    AND NOT EXISTS
    (
    SELECT t2.Field0
    ,t2.Field1
    ,t2.Field2
    ,t2.Field3
    FROM dbo.T1 t2
    WHERE NOT ( t2.Field4 = ''
    AND t2.Field5 = '')
    INTERSECT
    SELECT t.Field0
    ,t.Field1
    ,t.Field2
    ,t.Field3
    )
    );
