Couchbase N1QL query with joined subquery with USE KEYS - subquery

I need to write a n1ql query which demands another sub-query in select clause. As it is mandatory to use 'USE KEYS' while writing subqueries in n1ql. How to write USE KEYS clause for an inner joined query, below is an example of same case:
select meta(m).id as _ID, meta(m).cas as _CAS,
(select c.description
from bucketName p join bucketName c on p.categoryId = c.categoryId and p.type='product' and
c.type='category' and p.masterId=m.masterId ) as description //--How to use USE KEYS here ?
from bucketName m where m.type='master' and m.caseId='12345'
My requirment is to fetch some value from another 2 joined tables. however, I simplified above query to make it more understandable.
Please suggest the correct way to implement.
Also, is writting
sub-queries in n1ql is better than fetching documents seperatly and
merging them in coding?

Non FROM CLAUSE, correlated sub queries requires USE KEYS due to global secondary indexes queries can take long time and resources. This is restriction at present in the N1QL. If you can derive p's document key from the m you can give that as USE KEYS in p.
Otherwise you have two options
Option 1: As your subquery is in the projection Use ANSI JOIN https://blog.couchbase.com/ansi-join-support-n1ql/
SELECT META(m).id AS _ID, META(m).cas AS _CAS, c.description
FROM bucketName AS m
LEFT JOIN bucketName AS p ON p.masterId=m.masterId AND p.type='product'
LEFT JOIN bucketName AS c ON c.type='category' AND p.categoryId = c.categoryId
WHERE m.type='master' AND m.caseId='12345';
CREATE INDEX ix1 ON (caseId) WHERE type='master';
CREATE INDEX ix2 ON (masterId, categoryId) WHERE type='product';
CREATE INDEX ix3 ON (categoryId, description) WHERE type='category';
NOTE: If there is no Unique relation m to p to c JOIN can produce more results.
If that is case, you can do GROUP BY META(m).id, META(m).cas and
ARRAY_AGG(c.description). All descriptions are given as ARRAY.
Option 2:
As described by you issue two separate quires and merge in the application.

Reference join on a combined key in Azure Stream Analytics

I'm trying to filter data based on a reference table on a combined key. I acutally found a solution that seems to work:
SELECT
i.id
, i.timestamp
, i.PropertyName
, i.PropertyValue
FROM iothub AS i
LEFT JOIN Reference AS R
ON CONCAT(i.id, '|', 'i.PropertyName) = R.uid
WHERE R.keepIt = 1
But if I do this I get a warning that my query contains a JOIN with no key selector which will be translated into a CROSS JOIN.
I tested the method and it seems to result in the correct results, but I'm afraid that there may be side effects later on through a maybe CROSS JOIN. Or may I just ignore this Azure warning, as it does not apply in my case?
The CONCAT(i.id, '|', 'i.PropertyName) = R.uid is not a key selector, since left side of the equality is an expression and not a column reference.
So this will be translated to the CROSS JOIN followed by a filter as the warning suggests.
This is a warning and does not affect the functional correctness of the result.
You can project the expression as a column before doing reference data join and then it will be proper key lookup join. Here is what your example query will look like:
SELECT
i.id
, i.timestamp
, i.PropertyName
, i.PropertyValue
FROM (SELECT id, timestamp, PropertyName, PropertyValue,
uid = CONCAT(id, '|', PropertyName)
FROM iothub) AS i
LEFT JOIN Reference AS R
ON i.uid = R.uid
WHERE R.keepIt = 1
Of cause, the sub-select can also be put into a separate step.

Maximo Conditional expression manager/Sql Query Builder

Can somebody help me in converting below mentioned query in to Maximo's where clause:
select distinct workorder.wonum from workorder inner join [assignment]
On workorder.wonum=[assignment].wonum
inner join amcrew
On amcrew.amcrew=[assignment].amcrew
inner join amcrewlabor
On amcrewlabor.amcrew=amcrew.amcrew
inner join labor
On amcrewlabor.laborcode=labor.laborcode
inner join person
on labor.laborcode=person.personid where amcrewlabor.laborcode='KELLYB'
KELLYB is PERSONID used here for just reference.
If you are using a custom search query in Maximo, you can try prepending your with in (your query)
For example, if you're in Maximo's work order tracking module, the application uses select * from workorder by default. Any time you add a search filter such as work order number (wonum), then the query appends to run a query as select * from workorder where wonum = '123' if 123 is the work order number you entered.
Your where clause might look something like this:
wonum in (
select distinct workorder.wonum
from workorder
join assignment on workorder.wonum=assignment.wonum
join amcrew on amcrew.amcrew=assignment.amcrew
join amcrewlabor on amcrewlabor.amcrew=amcrew.amcrew
join labor on amcrewlabor.laborcode=labor.laborcode
join person on labor.laborcode=person.personid
where amcrewlabor.laborcode='KELLYB'
)
The SQL that is generated in Microsoft Access will not necessarily work in Maximo without some modification.

How to sort by sum of field of a relation on sails.js?

I searched a lot about sorting elements by sum of votes (in another model), like I do in SQL here :
SELECT item.* FROM item
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
vote.item,
SUM(vote.value) AS vote.rating
FROM vote
GROUP BY vote.item
) AS res ON item.id = vote.item
ORDER BY res.rating DESC
Is there a way to do it via waterline methods ?
I think you can't do the left join with simple waterline methods, but you can use the .query method to execute your raw SQL syntax.
Sails MySQL adapter makes sum('field') conflict with sort('field'). It will generate SQL query like:
SELECT SUM(table.field) AS field FROM table ORDER BY table.field;
But I want:
SELECT SUM(table.field) AS field FROM table ORDER BY field;
It same as:
SELECT SUM(table.field) AS f FROM table ORDER BY f;
My solution is using lodash.sortBy() to process results. https://lodash.com/docs/4.16.4#sortBy

Cannot link MS Access query with subquery

I have created a query with a subquery in Access, and cannot link it in Excel 2003: when I use the menu Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data... and select the mdb file, the query is not present in the list. If I use the menu Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query..., I can see my query in the list, but at the end of the import wizard I get this error:
Too few parameters. Expected 2.
My guess is that the query syntax is causing the problem, in fact the query contains a subquery. So, I'll try to describe the query goal and the resulting syntax.
Table Positions
ID (Autonumber, Primary Key)
position (double)
currency_id (long) (references Currency.ID)
portfolio (long)
Table Currency
ID (Autonumber, Primary Key)
code (text)
Query Goal
Join the 2 tables
Filter by portfolio = 1
Filter by currency.code in ("A", "B")
Group by currency and calculate the sum of the positions for each currency group an call the result: sumOfPositions
Calculate abs(sumOfPositions) on each currency group
Calculate the sum of the previous results as a single result
Query
The query without the final sum can be created using the Design View. The resulting SQL is:
SELECT Currency.code, Sum(Positions.position) AS SumOfposition
FROM [Currency] INNER JOIN Positions ON Currency.ID = Positions.currency_id
WHERE (((Positions.portfolio)=1))
GROUP BY Currency.code
HAVING (((Currency.code) In ("A","B")));
in order to calculate the final SUM I did the following (in the SQL View):
SELECT Sum(Abs([temp].[SumOfposition])) AS sumAbs
FROM [SELECT Currency.code, Sum(Positions.position) AS SumOfposition
FROM [Currency] INNER JOIN Positions ON Currency.ID = Positions.currency_id
WHERE (((Positions.portfolio)=1))
GROUP BY Currency.code
HAVING (((Currency.code) In ("A","B")))]. AS temp;
So, the question is: is there a better way for structuring the query in order to make the export work?
I can't see too much wrong with it, but I would take out some of the junk Access puts in and scale down the query to this, hopefully this should run ok:
SELECT Sum(Abs(A.SumOfPosition)) As SumAbs
FROM (SELECT C.code, Sum(P.position) AS SumOfposition
FROM Currency As C INNER JOIN Positions As P ON C.ID = P.currency_id
WHERE P.portfolio=1
GROUP BY C.code
HAVING C.code In ("A","B")) As A
It might be worth trying to declare your parameters in the MS Access query definition and define their datatypes. This is especially important when you are trying to use the query outside of MS Access itself, since it can't auto-detect the parameter types. This approach is sometimes hit or miss, but worth a shot.
PARAMETERS [[Positions].[portfolio]] Long, [[Currency].[code]] Text ( 255 );
SELECT Sum(Abs([temp].[SumOfposition])) AS sumAbs
FROM [SELECT Currency.code, Sum(Positions.position) AS SumOfposition
FROM [Currency] INNER JOIN Positions ON Currency.ID = Positions.currency_id
WHERE (((Positions.portfolio)=1))
GROUP BY Currency.code
HAVING (((Currency.code) In ("A","B")))]. AS temp;
I have solved my problems thanks to the fact that the outer query is doing a trivial sum. When choosing New Database Query... in Excel, at the end of the process, after pressing Finish, an Import Data form pops up, asking
Where do you want to put the data?
you can click on Create a PivotTable report... . If you define the PivotTable properly, Excel will display only the outer sum.

Subsonic 3 Simple Query inner join sql syntax

I want to perform a simple join on two tables (BusinessUnit and UserBusinessUnit), so I can get a list of all BusinessUnits allocated to a given user.
The first attempt works, but there's no override of Select which allows me to restrict the columns returned (I get all columns from both tables):
var db = new KensDB();
SqlQuery query = db.Select
.From<BusinessUnit>()
.InnerJoin<UserBusinessUnit>( BusinessUnitTable.IdColumn, UserBusinessUnitTable.BusinessUnitIdColumn )
.Where( BusinessUnitTable.RecordStatusColumn ).IsEqualTo( 1 )
.And( UserBusinessUnitTable.UserIdColumn ).IsEqualTo( userId );
The second attept allows the column name restriction, but the generated sql contains pluralised table names (?)
SqlQuery query = new Select( new string[] { BusinessUnitTable.IdColumn, BusinessUnitTable.NameColumn } )
.From<BusinessUnit>()
.InnerJoin<UserBusinessUnit>( BusinessUnitTable.IdColumn, UserBusinessUnitTable.BusinessUnitIdColumn )
.Where( BusinessUnitTable.RecordStatusColumn ).IsEqualTo( 1 )
.And( UserBusinessUnitTable.UserIdColumn ).IsEqualTo( userId );
Produces...
SELECT [BusinessUnits].[Id], [BusinessUnits].[Name]
FROM [BusinessUnits]
INNER JOIN [UserBusinessUnits]
ON [BusinessUnits].[Id] = [UserBusinessUnits].[BusinessUnitId]
WHERE [BusinessUnits].[RecordStatus] = #0
AND [UserBusinessUnits].[UserId] = #1
So, two questions:
- How do I restrict the columns returned in method 1?
- Why does method 2 pluralise the column names in the generated SQL (and can I get round this?)
I'm using 3.0.0.3...
So far my experience with 3.0.0.3 suggests that this is not possible yet with the query tool, although it is with version 2.
I think the preferred method (so far) with version 3 is to use a linq query with something like:
var busUnits = from b in BusinessUnit.All()
join u in UserBusinessUnit.All() on b.Id equals u.BusinessUnitId
select b;
I ran into the pluralized table names myself, but it was because I'd only re-run one template after making schema changes.
Once I re-ran all the templates, the plural table names went away.
Try re-running all 4 templates and see if that solves it for you.
