DB INPUT >> DB OUTPUT

DB INPUT

CODE
abc-1
,abd-1
abe-1
,xyz-1
,sef-1
,abw-1
qwe-1
,xsw-1
,ret-1

DB OUTPUT

CODE-A CODE-B
abc-1 abd-1
abe-1 xyz-1
abe-1 sef-1
abe-1 abw-1
qwe-1 xsw-1
qwe-1 ret-1

Here it checks for the string content with comma (,) and from single column in the input file append it to two columns in the output file.
the one which contains comma are appended in the second column, and the one without the output are appended in the first and act as the parent (as they are appended multiple times based on the comma.


Hope this is clear enough

Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

I've moved your post to the MySQL forum. You need to provide more detail: the CREATE TABLE statement and the INSERT statements needed to set up the problem.

I have a table XYZ with column code. Now I want to get column code_a and code_b as per the column code contents. (prefixed by comma).

A select statement will help.

select * from XYZ

CODE 
abc-1 
,abd-1 
abe-1 
,xyz-1
,sef-1 
,abw-1
qwe-1
,xsw-1
,ret-1

Now I want to write a select statement on the same table XYZ which will give me filtered output like this

CODE-A CODE-B 
abc-1 abd-1 
abe-1 xyz-1
abe-1 sef-1
abe-1 abw-1
qwe-1 xsw-1
qwe-1 ret-1

Suppose you have another column named other_col like this:
mysql> select * from mysql.xyz;
+--------+-----------+
| code   | other_col |
+--------+-----------+
| abc-1  | something |
| ,abd-1 | nothing   |
| abe-1  | whatever  |
| ,xyz-1 | anything  |
| ,sef-1 | nonesense |
| ,abw-1 | scribble  |
| qwe-1  | another   |
| ,xsw-1 | and so on |
| ,ret-1 | etcetera  |
+--------+-----------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Then you can select that column like this and add any additional columns in the same manner:
mysql> select a.code as code_a, b.code as code_b, a.other_col, b.other_col
    -> from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
    ->                code,
    ->                other_col
    ->         from   mysql.xyz,
    ->                (select @rownuma := 0) r) a,
    ->       (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
    ->               code,
    ->               other_col
    ->        from   mysql.xyz,
    ->               (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
    -> where a.code not like ',%'
    -> and   b.code like ',%'
    -> and   a.rn = b.rn;
+--------+--------+-----------+-----------+
| code_a | code_b | other_col | other_col |
+--------+--------+-----------+-----------+
| abc-1  | ,abd-1 | something | nothing   |
| abe-1  | ,xyz-1 | whatever  | anything  |
| abe-1  | ,sef-1 | whatever  | nonesense |
| abe-1  | ,abw-1 | whatever  | scribble  |
| qwe-1  | ,xsw-1 | another   | and so on |
| qwe-1  | ,ret-1 | another   | etcetera  |

Sure, just use:

substr(b.code,2)

to select the substring of b.code, starting at the second character, as shown below.

mysql> select a.code as code_a, substr(b.code,2) as code_b, a.other_col, b.other_col
    -> from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
    ->                code,
    ->                other_col
    ->         from   mysql.xyz,
    ->                (select @rownuma := 0) r) a,
    ->       (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
    ->               code,
    ->               other_col
    ->        from   mysql.xyz,
    ->               (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
    -> where a.code not like ',%'
    -> and   b.code like ',%'
    -> and   a.rn = b.rn;
+--------+--------+-----------+-----------+
| code_a | code_b | other_col | other_col |
+--------+--------+-----------+-----------+
| abc-1  | abd-1  | something | nothing   |
| abe-1  | xyz-1  | whatever  | anything  |
| abe-1  | sef-1  | whatever  | nonesense |
| abe-1  | abw-1  | whatever  | scribble  |
| qwe-1  | xsw-1  | another   | and so on |
| qwe-1  | ret-1  | another   | etcetera  |

Hi barbara,

I am facing issue with the query you have provided.

The column code_b seems fine with the sequence provided from the input. but the column code_a is out of sequence. which is not as per the desired output.

I am using this query and for the table xyz i have a column id auto incremented for each rows.(primary key)

select a.code as code_a, substr(b.code,2) as code_b
from (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
code
from xyz,
(select @rownuma := 0) r) a,
(select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
code
from xyz,
(select @rownumb := 0) r) b
where a.code not like ',%'
and b.code like ',%'
and a.rn = b.rn;



Please help me out.

It would have been nice to know that. You can use that column for ordering.

Not with the data that you provided.

Quote:

Since your alleged output bears no relation to the data that you provided, I have no idea what you mean or what you really want.

You need to provide create table and insert statements and desired results based on the data that you provide. Please see the example that I have provided below.

If you have a create table statement like this:
create table mysql.xyz
  (id        integer auto_increment primary key, 
   code      char(6));

and you insert data like this:
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values ('abc-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',abd-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values ('abe-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',xyz-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',sef-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',abw-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values ('qwe-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',xsw-1');
insert into mysql.xyz (code) values (',ret-1');

and you select like this, ordering by the id:
select * from mysql.xyz order by id;

then you get results in the same order of the original data that you posted:
+----+--------+
| id | code   |
+----+--------+
|  1 | abc-1  |
|  2 | ,abd-1 |
|  3 | abe-1  |
|  4 | ,xyz-1 |
|  5 | ,sef-1 |
|  6 | ,abw-1 |
|  7 | qwe-1  |
|  8 | ,xsw-1 |
|  9 | ,ret-1 |
+----+--------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

If you run the query that you say you are running, adding ordering by the id's like this:
select a.code as code_a, substr(b.code,2) as code_b
from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
               code
        from   (select * from mysql.xyz order by id) xyz1,
               (select @rownuma := 0) r) a,
       (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
               code
        from   (select * from mysql.xyz order by id) xyz2,
               (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
where  a.code not like ',%'
and    b.code like ',%'
and    a.rn = b.rn; 

then you get the results that you originally requested in the order that you originally requested like this:
+--------+--------+
| code_a | code_b |
+--------+--------+
| abc-1  | abd-1  |
| abe-1  | xyz-1  |
| abe-1  | sef-1  |
| abe-1  | abw-1  |
| qwe-1  | xsw-1  |
| qwe-1  | ret-1  |
+--------+--------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Is this still what you want or do you want something different? Is a different order a new requirement? You need to make your requirements clear. The results that you want must match the data that you provide.

Hi Barbara,

Please have a look into this, the output is not as per the requirement, the column code_b is reverse the order. you can check the output of the query to get the issue.

1> Here is my select statement.

select * from master;

output

/forum/fa/13194/0/

2> Please find my query to filter

select a.code as code_a,substr(b.code,2) as code_b,a.id as id_a , b.id as id_b,
b.state,b.stock_unit,b.link_label,b.quantity_dms,b.revision,b.class_name
    from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
                  code,id
           from   master , 
                  (select @rownuma := 0) r) a, 
          (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
                  code,state,stock_unit,link_label,quantity_dms,revision,class_name,id
           from   master,
                  (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
    where a.code not like ',%'
    and   b.code like ',%'
    and   a.rn = b.rn order by id_a,id_b;

output

You still have not posted create table or insert statements, not even a copy and paste of a select that could be copied and pasted, just images.

Apparently you did not notice the order by clauses in the innermost sub-queries on the 5th and 9th lines. It is those that determine the ordering when calculating rownum for joining the tables.

Hi,

I have another requirement which is as follows :-

It goes with the previous query provided by Barbara, Now one modification needs to be done.

This is my create statement, and the insert been done through ETL tool.

create table master(code varchar(20),revision varchar(5),state varchar(15), quantity_dms varchar(5),
link_label varchar(5),stock_unit varchar(10),class_name varchar(25));

CURRENTLY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. with the select statement.

select a.code as code_a, substr(b.code,2) as code_b, a.id as id_a, b.id as id_b,
     b.state, b.stock_unit, b.link_label, b.quantity_dms, b.revision, b.class_name
    from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
                  code,id
            from   (select * from master order by id) ma, 
                    (select @rownuma := 0) r) a, 
           (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
                    code, state, stock_unit, link_label, quantity_dms, class_name,id,revision
             from   (select * from master order by id) mb,
                    (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
     where a.code not like ',%'
     and   b.code like ',%'
     and   a.rn = b.rn 
     order by id_a, id_b;

code_a | code_b | id_a | id_b | state | stock_unit | link_label | quantity_dms | revision | class_name |

now it has one modification, the Revision column will always map the parent revision. Parent are the ones without comma prefix, and they have multiple children(with comma). the parent revision will be the revision for all the child revision now onward.

mysql> select * from master order by id;

7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

For example id 3 is parent and id 4 and 5 are children. the revision mapped with id 3 ( parent) will populate in the output throughout.

Hope this is clear.

You need to provide create table and insert statements and desired results based on the data that you provide. Please see the example that I have provided below.

You still have not posted create table or insert statements, not even a copy and paste of a select that could be copied and pasted, just images.

Thanks Barbara for the help.
Will keep a note of providing detailed info including the create and insert statements from now onward.
What about your promise?

This is my create statement, and the insert been done through ETL tool.
And then? Do you think Barbara used your ETL in her previous posts to show the statements?
No, she wrote the INSERT statements, do the same thing and avoid her this work, it is yours.

It is the same create and insert statement Barbara has used last time. So i skipped. Apology for that.

Hi Michel,Barbara.

I got the issue resolved . This is my query

select a.code as code_a, substr(b.code,2) as code_b, a.id as id_a, b.id as id_b,
     b.state, b.stock_unit, b.link_label, b.quantity_dms,a.revision, b.class_name
    from   (select @rownuma := IF(code not like ',%',@rownuma := @rownuma + 1, @rownuma := @rownuma) as rn,
                  code,id,revision
            from   (select * from master order by id) ma, 
                    (select @rownuma := 0) r) a, 
           (select @rownumb := IF(code not like ',%',@rownumb := @rownumb + 1, @rownumb := @rownumb) as rn,
                    code, state, stock_unit, link_label, quantity_dms, class_name,id
             from   (select * from master order by id) mb,
                    (select @rownumb := 0) r) b
     where a.code not like ',%'
     and   b.code like ',%'
     and   a.rn = b.rn 
     order by id_a, id_b;

Thanks for the help again.
