根据列的不同值查询选择行

Question

i have a problem for my current query, i wish to get record/result based on a column (example column Status have the value of new/pending/completed for the query i execute if there are 3 record with status new,it should be filter to show 1 record with status new only). Below is my current query which get duplicate column .

select a.CW_UPD_TMS,
          case when a.CW_CRT_UID='AAA' then 'BBB'
               else a.CW_CRT_UID end as CW_CRT_UID,  
          COALESCE(b.CW_S_BR, a.CW_S_BR) as CW_S_BR,
          a.CW_TRX_STAT as STATUS,   
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,7,2) as day,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,5,2) as month,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,1,4) as ayear,   
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,9,2) as hours,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,11,2) as mins,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,13,2) as secs,   
          case when cast(SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,9,2) as INT) > 12 then 'PM'
               else 'AM' end as zone   
from  TABLEA  a  
    left outer join TABLEB b on a.CW_CRT_UID = b.CW_S_USR  
where a.CW_TRX_ID = '20150415110000798' 
union  
select a.CW_UPD_TMS,
          case when a.CW_CRT_UID='AAA' then 'BBB'
               else a.CW_CRT_UID end as CW_CRT_UID,  
          COALESCE(b.CW_S_BR, a.CW_S_BR) as CW_S_BR,
          a.CW_TRX_STAT as STATUS,   
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,7,2) as day,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,5,2) as month,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,1,4) as ayear,   
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,9,2) as hours,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,11,2) as mins,
          SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,13,2) as secs,   
          case when cast(SUBSTR(a.CW_UPD_TMS,9,2) as INT) > 12 then 'PM'
               else 'AM' end as zone   
from  TABLEC  a  
    left outer join TABLEB b on a.CW_CRT_UID = b.CW_S_USR  
where a.CW_TRX_ID = '20150415110000798'

Here is current result:

CW_UPD_TMS          CW_CRT_UID  CW_S_BR STATUS  DAY MONTH   AYEAR   HOURS   MINS    SECS    ZONE
2015062610260746811 happy       KLC     NEW     26  06      2015    10      26      07      AM
2015062610273984711 happy       KLC     NEW     26  06      2015    10      27      39      AM
2015062610275762511 happy       KLC     NEW     26  06      2015    10      27      57      AM

so now how do i change the query so that only show 1 record only (show with min(CW_UPD_TMS)) as now 3 record have same STATUS (New) .

my expected result should be :

CW_UPD_TMS          CW_CRT_UID  CW_S_BR STATUS  DAY MONTH   AYEAR   HOURS   MINS    SECS    ZONE
2015062610260746811 happy       KLC     NEW     26  06      2015    10      26      07      AM

sorry for my poor english.

Answer 1

Its expected behaviour in your case. You should come up with another column in addition to "Status" so they could form composite key, which will be unique and you get single record for it.

Either you can have any criteria like date or anything which suits your requirement and use row number attribute to limit result with 1 record.

Let me know if this make sense.

Answer 2

This might be a good start but I had to assume that timestamp works as a primary key. You should mention which platform you're on in the question. It might also be cleaner if we understood what was going on with the joins and the union.

Answer 3

To get the oldest record, you need to rank the records by date. So what you'd do is combine TableA and TableC, give the records a number, with 1 for the oldest per status, then only keep those records ranked 1.

select a.cw_upd_tms,
  case when a.cw_crt_uid='AAA' then 'BBB'
       else a.cw_crt_uid end as cw_crt_uid,  
  coalesce(b.cw_s_br, a.cw_s_br) as cw_s_br,
  a.cw_trx_stat as status,   
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,7,2) as day,
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,5,2) as month,
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,1,4) as ayear,   
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,9,2) as hours,
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,11,2) as mins,
  substr(a.cw_upd_tms,13,2) as secs,   
  case when cast(substr(a.cw_upd_tms,9,2) as int) > 12 then 'PM'
       else 'AM' end as zone   
from 
(
  select 
    cw_trx_stat, cw_crt_uid, cw_upd_tms
  from
  (
    select 
      cw_trx_stat, cw_crt_uid, cw_upd_tms,
      row_number() over (partition by cw_trx_stat order by cw_upd_tms) as rn
    from
    (
      select cw_trx_stat, cw_crt_uid, cw_upd_tms
      from tablea where cw_trx_id = '20150415110000798' 
      union all
      select cw_trx_stat, cw_crt_uid, cw_upd_tms
      from tablec where cw_trx_id = '20150415110000798' 
    ) combined
  ) ranked
  where rn = 1
) a
left outer join tableb b on a.cw_crt_uid = b.cw_s_usr;
