Re: SQL Max question

Is there a way to take these results and create a new table in QTEMP? I
tried the ways I know so far and I get token required data with
definition but that doesn't work either. Thanks

Example with the Row_Number() ... as Kevin already said, you missed the

Example with the GROUP BY the JOIN clause is incomplete, you need to JOIN

The following Statement should work correctly.
With x as (Select SDDID#, Max(SNStatus2) MaxStatus
from WHSDTA.WHSSDOPT
Group by SDDID#)
select a.*
from WHSDTA.WHSSDOPT a join WHSDTA.WHSSN00 x

where sdentrydt Between '2020-01-01' and '2020-12-31'
and sdstatus <> 'V'

and sdmanif# = 0

I tried both of Birgitta's these examples and they both returned
multiple records for each SDDID#. Here is the complete SQL's I tried:

With x as (Select a.*, Row_Number() Over(Partition by SDDID# Order By
SNStatus2 Desc) RowNbr
from WHSDTA.WHSSDOPT a
where sdentrydt >= '2020-01-01' and sdentrydt <= '2020-12-31' and
sdstatus <> 'V' and sdmanbl# = 0 and sdmanif# = 0)

Select *
from x

And:

With x as (Select SDDID#, Max(SNStatus2) MaxStatus
from WHSDTA.WHSSDOPT
Group by SDDID#)
select a.*
from WHSDTA.WHSSDOPT a join WHSDTA.WHSSN00 x on a.SDDID# = x.SNDID#
where sdentrydt >= '2020-01-01' and sdentrydt <= '2020-12-31' and sdstatus
<> 'V' and sdmanbl# = 0 and sdmanif# = 0;

You can do it with a nested sub-select, but I prefer a Common Table
Expression

With x as (Select #DID. Max(Status) MaxStatus
from YourTable
Group by #DID)
select a.*
from YourTable a join x on a.#DID = x.#DID;

You can also can get the result by using the ROW_NUMBER() OLAP
Specification:

With x as (Select a.*, Row_Number() Over(Partition by #DID Order By
Status
Desc) RowNbr
from OrderDetx a)
Select *
from x
Where RowNbr = 1;

Hello Art

If I may say back what I think you're saying -

You have a table with 1 row per DID# - that is, DID# is unique.

And status is not in this table.

And you want a result table that has all the columns from the first
one, plus a status column that has the highest status for the DID# in

that row.

OK, I think you are getting close and can get this with a JOIN and a
nested table expression - you want the 2nd table to have the DID# and
its highest status in it - then JOIN to that.

select table1.*, table2max.maxstatus from table1
join (select did#, max(status) maxstatus from table2 group by did#)
table2max
on table1.did# = table2max.did#

Then you can do pretty much what you want - you could create a temp
from this using CREATE TABLE, for example, and make it based on this
SELECT statement.

There is one row in my first table keyed by did. Other tables are
joined into this view but they are 1-1 by did. I joined it to a
status file that has Did and 1-20 statuses/rows.

In my new table I want all of the fields but only one row per did
with the highest status.

My goal is to create a temp table that I can run reports, extract to
csv, etc.

I wonder if I could create one row per did and then do an update
with a select from the status file getting only the max row from it.

Could you respond with what you see the table structure would look

like?

I've looked at group by but that won't let me keep all columns in
the table.
I also checked out partition by but that's not what I want.
Thank you
