I have a table myTable
with 3 columns. col_1
is an INTEGER
and the other 2 columns are DOUBLE
. For example, col_1={1, 2}, col_2={0.1, 0.2, 0.3}
. Each element in col_1
is composed of all the values of col_2
and col_2
has repeated values for each element in col_1
. The 3rd column can have any value as shown below:
col_1 | col_2 | Value
----------------------
1 | 0.1 | 1.0
1 | 0.2 | 2.0
1 | 0.2 | 3.0
1 | 0.3 | 4.0
1 | 0.3 | 5.0
2 | 0.1 | 6.0
2 | 0.1 | 7.0
2 | 0.1 | 8.0
2 | 0.2 | 9.0
2 | 0.3 | 10.0
What I want is to use an aggregate-function SUM()
on the Value
column partition by col_1
and grouped by col_2
. The Above table should look like this:
col_1 | col_2 | sum_value
----------------------
1 | 0.1 | 1.0
1 | 0.2 | 5.0
1 | 0.3 | 9.0
2 | 0.1 | 21.0
2 | 0.2 | 9.0
2 | 0.3 | 10.0
I tried the following SQL query:
SELECT col_1, col_2, sum(Value) over(partition by col_1) as sum_value
from myTable
GROUP BY col_1, col_2
But on DB2 v10.5 it gave the following error:
SQL0119N An expression starting with "Value" specified in a SELECT
clause, HAVING clause, or ORDER BY clause is not specified in the
GROUP BY clause or it is in a SELECT clause, HAVING clause, or ORDER
BY clause with a column function and no GROUP BY clause is specified.
Can you kindly point out what is wrong. I do not have much experience with SQL.
Thank you.
Therefore, in conclusion, the PARTITION BY retrieves all the records in the table, while the GROUP BY only returns a limited number. One more thing is that GROUP BY does not allow to add columns which are not parts of GROUP BY clause in select statement. However, with PARTITION BY clause, we can add required columns.
Did you know that you can use the SQL Server aggregate functions SUM, COUNT, MAX, MIN and AVG with an OVER Clause now? Using an OVER clause you can produce individual record values along with aggregate values to different levels, without using a GROUP BY clause.
Yes, it is possible to use MySQL GROUP BY clause with multiple columns just as we can use MySQL DISTINCT clause. Consider the following example in which we have used DISTINCT clause in first query and GROUP BY clause in the second query, on 'fname' and 'Lname' columns of the table named 'testing'.
Both GROUP BY and ORDER BY are clauses (or statements) that serve similar functions; that is to sort query results. However, each of these serve very different purposes; so different in fact, that they can be employed separately or together.
Yes, you can, but you should be consistent regarding the grouping levels. That is, if your query is a GROUP BY query, then in an analytic function you can only use "detail" columns from the "non-analytic" part of your selected columns. Thus, you can use either the GROUP BY columns or the non-analytic aggregates, like this example:
select product_id, company,
sum(members) as No_of_Members,
sum(sum(members)) over(partition by company) as TotalMembership
From Product_Membership
Group by Product_ID, Company
Hope that helps
SELECT col_1, col_2, sum(Value) over(partition by col_1) as sum_value
-- also try changing "col_1" to "col_2" in OVER
from myTable
GROUP BY col_2,col_1
