Thread: Select statement problem
Hello, I know the question may appear lame but I have problem with a SELECT statement for a report. I have two separate statements: SELECT t1.col1, t1.col2, SUM(t2.end_date::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and t3.col4 = t1.col4; SELECT (Now()::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) AS days from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and t3.col4 = t1.col4 and t2.end_date is null; What I need is to have both statements' results presented in one table which has 4 columns (t1.col1, t1.col2, "SUM", days). The tables used are the same in both statements. -- Łukasz Brodziak II MU Bioinformatyka

The tables used > are the same in both statements. It is not clear how these two queries should be joined; but you want to use something like this... SELECT sql1.col1, sql1.col2, sql1.sum, sql2.days from ( SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2, SUM(t2.end_date::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) as sum from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and t3.col4 = t1.col4 ) sql1 left join ( SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2, (Now()::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) AS days from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and t3.col4 = t1.col4 and t2.end_date is null ) sql2 on sql1.col3 = sql2.col3 and sql1.col4 = sql2.col4 Frank
They ought to be joined just like You've written but there is a small bug :) when I run the statement against physical data if _ have one person who has procedures which have end_date filled and procedures with null end_date (opened) they appear in results as two separate rows one with the 'SUM' column filled and days column null and the other is all the way round. 2010/10/8 Frank Bax <fbax@sympatico.ca>: > It is not clear how these two queries should be joined; but you want to use > something like this... > > SELECT sql1.col1, sql1.col2, sql1.sum, sql2.days from ( > > SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2, > SUM(t2.end_date::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) as sum > from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and > t3.col4 = t1.col4 > > ) sql1 left join ( > > SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2, > (Now()::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) AS days > from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and > t3.col4 = t1.col4 and t2.end_date is null > > ) sql2 on sql1.col3 = sql2.col3 and sql1.col4 = sql2.col4 > > Frank > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-novice mailing list (pgsql-novice@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-novice > -- Łukasz Brodziak II MU Bioinformatyka
