Counting Rows Based on Conditions from Another Table in Oracle SQL

Working with tables in Oracle SQL can be quite powerful, especially when you need to analyze data based on certain conditions. One common scenario involves counting how many values meet specific criteria in one table while referencing another table. In this guide, we will explore this challenge, breaking it down and providing a comprehensive solution.

Problem Overview

Imagine you have two tables with the following structures and data:

Table 1: this_table

COL_AFROMTOD113D237Table 2: other_table

COL_AVALUED10D12D15D22D25D26The goal here is to get a count for each row in the first table, based on the values in the second table. Specifically, we're looking to find:

Count of values less than the FROM value

Count of values between FROM and TO

Count of values greater than the TO value

Expected Output

For each row in this_table, you want to generate an output table that looks like this:

COL_AFROMTOLESS_THAN_FROMBETWEEN_FROM_TOGREATER_THAN_TOD113111D237120Solution Approach

To achieve this, we will leverage JOIN operations along with conditional aggregation. This allows us to combine data from both tables while applying our counting conditions effectively.

SQL Query Breakdown

Here’s the SQL query that accomplishes this task:

Explanation of the Query

SELECT Statement: We select col_a, from, and to from the first table (this_table).

SUM with CASE:

We use the SUM function combined with CASE to count:

LESS_THAN_FROM: Counts how many values in other_table are less than the from value.

BETWEEN_FROM_TO: Counts how many values are between the from and to values.

GREATER_THAN_TO: Counts how many values are greater than the to value.

JOIN Clause: We perform an INNER JOIN on col_a from both tables to align the rows for which we want to count.

GROUP BY Clause: Lastly, we group by col_a, from, and to to aggregate our count correctly for each unique entry in this_table.

Conclusion

This SQL query showcases how to effectively count and categorize data from two tables in Oracle SQL based on specified conditions. Utilizing JOINs and conditional aggregation allows for precise and valuable insights from datasets, enhancing our reporting and decision-making capabilities.

Feel free to use the provided SQL as a foundation for your data projects. Happy querying!
