I need to find incorrect rows according to the logic.
The logic is:
If the child has the row (I will call first row)
| merit | fruit | vegetable | | --------- | ----- | --------- | | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
then in the row with merit = poem and fruit = apple must be only vegetable = cucumber (cucumber and no other words) (It is the second row)
| merit | fruit | vegetable | | ----- | ----- | --------- | | poem | apple | cucumber |
AND time interval of the second row must be 4 hours earlier or later from the time of the first row, as a correct example:
| child_id | date | merit | fruit | vegetable | | --------- | --------------- | --------- | ----- | --------- | | 2 | 1/26/2022 16:00 | poem | apple | cucumber | | 2 | 1/26/2022 18:00 | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
As we can see, it is in 4 hours interval
I have the table:
| child_id | date | merit | fruit | vegetable |
| --------- | --------------- | ----------- | ------- | --------- |
| 1 | 1/27/2022 14:00 | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
| 1 | 1/27/2022 15:00 | poem | apple | carrot |
| 1 | 1/27/2022 17:00 | sleep | apple | ginger |
| 1 | 1/27/2022 20:00 | competition | berry | tomatoe |
| 2 | 1/26/2022 13:00 | sleep | apricot | tomatoe |
| 2 | 1/30/2022 13:00 | poem | apple | cucumber |
| 2 | 1/29/2022 13:00 | poem | apple | cucumber |
| 2 | 1/26/2022 16:00 | poem | apple | cucumber |
| 2 | 1/26/2022 18:00 | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
| 2 | 1/26/2022 19:00 | present | apple | broccoli |
| 3 | 1/25/2022 11:00 | present | orange | cucumber |
| 3 | 1/25/2022 13:00 | poem | apple | ginger |
| 3 | 1/25/2022 15:00 | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
| 4 | 1/26/2022 14:00 | behaviour | apple | cucumber |
| 4 | 1/27/2022 21:00 | poem | apple | carrot |
| 4 | 1/27/2022 15:00 | poem | apple | carrot |
| 4 | 1/27/2022 20:00 | sleep | apple | ginger |
| 4 | 1/27/2022 21:00 | competition | berry | tomatoe |
And the result I expect:
| child_id | date | merit | fruit | vegetable |
| --------- | --------------- | ----- | ----- | --------- |
| 1 | 1/27/2022 15:00 | poem | apple | carrot |
| 3 | 1/25/2022 13:00 | poem | apple | ginger |
I do not know how to find this rows by child. I wrote this SQL and stuck:
select * from example_1 where merit in ('behaviour', 'poem')
Do I need partitions here?
In this approach we use a collated subquery. The top query B defines non-join limits of the data for the desired results. So vegetable <> cucumber and merit =poem
The Exists ensures the limits of the first row are defined and the correlation for the non matches exists. so we ensure fruits match, merit is 'behavior', the child_id's match, and the difference in date is within 4 hours either way.
SELECT B.*
FROM table B
WHERE vegetable <> 'cucumber'
and merit = 'poem'
and exists (SELECT 1
FROM Table A
WHERE A.Fruit = B.Fruit
AND A.Child_id = B.Child_ID
AND A.merit = 'behaviour'
AND abs(Datediff(hour,A.Date,B.Date)) <=4)
Giving us:
+----------+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----------+
| child_id | date | merit | fruit | vegetable |
+----------+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----------+
| 1 | 2022-01-27 15:00:00.000 | poem | apple | carrot |
| 3 | 2022-01-25 13:00:00.000 | poem | apple | ginger |
+----------+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----------+
One potential solution is joining the table to itself using a LEFT OUTER JOIN and then only accepting records where the joined version of the table returns null:
SELECT e1.*
FROM example_1 e1
LEFT OUTER JOIN example_1 e2
ON e1.fruit = e2.fruit
AND e1.vegetable <> e2.vegetable
AND e2.date BETWEEN DATEADD(HOUR, -4, e1.date) AND e1.date
AND e2.merit = 'behavior'
WHERE e1.merit = 'poem'
AND e2.child_id IS NULL
The trick is mostly in the join criteria where we want to ensure we match vegetable
between the 'behavior' and 'poem' while also checking for the last 4 hours.
