Обсуждение: Sum of columns

Hi, 

 

this is my query:

SELECT user,

        sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as a,
        sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as b,
        sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev <= 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as c,

        sum(CASE WHEN lev > 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as d,
        (SELECT a + b + a + d) AS matches
        FROM t_temp_fts 
        GROUP BY user'

 

I like to add up the 4 columns a,b,c and d of every user, but it doesn't work like this.

Does anyone know a solution

Hi,

it doesn't work like that - the inner select makes no sense for various
reasons. I'd bet what you want is something this:

SELECT user, a, b, d, (a + b + d) AS matches
FROM (

          SELECT user,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as a,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as b,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev < 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as d,
          FROM t_temp_fts
          GROUP BY user
) foo

i.e. it takes the t_temp_fts table, computes the partial results and then
passes the results to the outer query to evaluate the addition.

There's an alternative doing all of that in a single query:

SELECT user, a, b, d, (a + b + d) AS matches
FROM (

          SELECT user,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as a,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as b,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev < 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as d,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) +
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) +
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev < 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as matches,
          FROM t_temp_fts
          GROUP BY user
) foo

or you could add directly the CASE statements like this:

SELECT user, a, b, d, (a + b + d) AS matches
FROM (

          SELECT user,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as a,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as b,
          sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev < 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as d,
          sum((CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) +
              (CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) +
              (CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev < 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) as
matches,
          FROM t_temp_fts
          GROUP BY user
) foo

All of this should return return the same results.
