RE: SQL Question

Rob,

Thanks for this. I adapted this using our actual tables... Assuming I did it correctly (big assumption) the result set contains boxes that contain one of the items/qty.

I might be going down the wrong path here anyway.

What I'm really trying to do is this:

Given an order containing
1 of widget1
1 of widget2
2 of widget3

Knowing the dimensions of each item, I would like to determine what shipping carton to use.
I was hoping I could my historical data to extrapolate the answer... but that may be the wrong approach.

Would be nice to call some software that would do that for you.

Thx,
Greg

Sort of like this?
create table rob.cartonarrangement (
cartonarrangementid integer,
carton varchar(30),
itemnumber varchar(30),
cartonquantity integer
);
drop table rob.cartonarrangement;
insert into rob.cartonarrangement values(1, 'boxA', 'widget1', 3);
insert into rob.cartonarrangement values(1, 'boxA', 'widget2', 1);
insert into rob.cartonarrangement values(1, 'boxA', 'widget3', 1);
insert into rob.cartonarrangement values(2, 'boxB', 'widget2', 1);
insert into rob.cartonarrangement values(2, 'boxB', 'widget3', 1);
create table rob.selection (
itemnumber varchar(30),
cartonquantity integer
);
insert into rob.selection values('widget2', 1);
insert into rob.selection values('widget3', 1);

set schema = 'ROB';

With t1 as (
select cartonarrangementid, count(*) as rowcount
from cartonarrangement
group by cartonarrangementid)
select * from t1;

With t1 as (
select cartonarrangementid, count(*) as rowcount
from cartonarrangement
group by cartonarrangementid),
T2 as (
select count(*) as rowcount
from selection),
T3 as (
select *
from cartonarrangement
where itemnumber concat char(cartonquantity) in (
select itemnumber concat char(cartonquantity) from selection))

select t3.*, b.rowcount, c.rowcount
from t3,
lateral (select t1.rowcount from t1
where t1.cartonarrangementid = t3.cartonarrangementid) b,
lateral (select t2.rowcount from t2) c
where b.rowcount = c.rowcount
;
