I've got the following query, that looks up the TOP 5 Products matching the search. Each Product is associated with a Shop
SELECT TOP 5 * FROM Products
p, Shops s WHERE p.ShopId =
s.ShopId AND p.ProductName LIKE
'%christmas%'
I need to extend this so that it returns me the TOP 5 Products in each Shop.
Could anyone let me know how the query could be modified to achieve this? - i.e. choose the TOP 5 products matching "%christmas%" in each shop (rather than the current which shows the TOP 5 products matching "%chrismas%" across all shops).
You're actually missing an ORDER BY to make the TOP meaningful, or any solution based on ROW_NUMBER which requires an ORDER BY.
SELECT
*
FROM
Shops s
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT TOP 5
*
FROM
Products p
WHERE
p.ShopId = s.ShopId AND p.ProductName LIKE '%christmas%'
ORDER BY --added on edit
???
) X
Try this:
select * from (
select *, rn = row_number() over (partition by s.ShopId order by p.ProductName)
from Products p, Shops s
where p.ShopId = s.ShopId AND p.ProductName LIKE '%christmas%'
) a where a.rn <= 5
Try this
SELECT DISTINCT
A.Product_Group_code
,B.Sub_Product_Group_code
,A.Product_code
,A.Product_name
FROM dbo.A A
LEFT JOIN dbo.B B
ON A.Product_code = B.Product_code
WHERE B.Product_code IN
(
SELECT TOP 5 E.Product_code
FROM dbo.A D
LEFT JOIN dbo.B E
ON D.Product_code = E.Product_code
WHERE E.Sub_Product_Group_code = B.Sub_Product_Group_code
)
AND B.Sub_Product_Group_code IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY B.Sub_Product_Group_code,A.Product_name
Here is a great solution I just found.
Select the TOP n Rows For Each Group
Arnie Rowland, March 13, 2008
There are Multiple Rows for Each Category, and there is a desire to
SELECT ONLY the TOP two (2) Rows per Category by Price.
For example, from the following data:
RowID Category ID Description Price
1 Pot A1 Small Saucepan 21.50
2 Pot A2 1 Qt Saucepan 29.95
3 Pot A3 1.5 Qt Saucepan 33.95
4 Pot A4 Double Boiler 39.50
5 Pot A5 Stewpot 49.50
6 Pot A6 Pressure Cooker 79.95
7 Pan B1 8" Pie 6.95
8 Pan B2 8" Sq Cake 7.50
9 Pan B3 Bundt Cake 12.50
10 Pan B4 9x12 Brownie 7.95
11 Bowl C1 Lg Mixing 27.50
12 Bowl C2 Sm Mixing 17.50
13 Tools T1 14" Spatula 9.95
The desired output is:
RowID Category ID Description Price
11 Bowl C1 Lg Mixing 27.50
12 Bowl C2 Sm Mixing 17.50
9 Pan B3 Bundt Cake 12.50
10 Pan B4 9x12 Brownie 7.95
6 Pot A6 Pressure Cooker 79.95
5 Pot A5 Stewpot 49.50
13 Tools T1 14" Spatula 9.95
There are several methods to accomplish the desired output.
This demonstration provides a Solution for SQL Server 2005 / SQL Server 2008 ,
and then a Solution for SQL Server 2000.
