我有一个表,我想获得每组的最新条目。下面是表格:

DocumentStatusLogs表

|ID| DocumentID | Status | DateCreated |
| 2| 1          | S1     | 7/29/2011   |
| 3| 1          | S2     | 7/30/2011   |
| 6| 1          | S1     | 8/02/2011   |
| 1| 2          | S1     | 7/28/2011   |
| 4| 2          | S2     | 7/30/2011   |
| 5| 2          | S3     | 8/01/2011   |
| 6| 3          | S1     | 8/02/2011   |

该表将按documententid分组,并按DateCreated降序排序。对于每个documententid,我希望获得最新的状态。

我的首选输出:

| DocumentID | Status | DateCreated |
| 1          | S1     | 8/02/2011   |
| 2          | S3     | 8/01/2011   |
| 3          | S1     | 8/02/2011   |

Is there any aggregate function to get only the top from each group? See pseudo-code GetOnlyTheTop below: SELECT DocumentID, GetOnlyTheTop(Status), GetOnlyTheTop(DateCreated) FROM DocumentStatusLogs GROUP BY DocumentID ORDER BY DateCreated DESC If such function doesn't exist, is there any way I can achieve the output I want? Or at the first place, could this be caused by unnormalized database? I'm thinking, since what I'm looking for is just one row, should that status also be located in the parent table?

更多信息请参见父表:

当前文档表

| DocumentID | Title  | Content  | DateCreated |
| 1          | TitleA | ...      | ...         |
| 2          | TitleB | ...      | ...         |
| 3          | TitleC | ...      | ...         |

父表应该是这样的,以便我可以轻松地访问它的状态吗?

| DocumentID | Title  | Content  | DateCreated | CurrentStatus |
| 1          | TitleA | ...      | ...         | s1            |
| 2          | TitleB | ...      | ...         | s3            |
| 3          | TitleC | ...      | ...         | s1            |

更新 我刚刚学会了如何使用“apply”,它可以更容易地解决这类问题。

我知道这是一个旧的线程,但TOP 1与TIES解决方案是相当不错的,可能有助于阅读一些解决方案。

select top 1 with ties
   DocumentID
  ,Status
  ,DateCreated
from DocumentStatusLogs
order by row_number() over (partition by DocumentID order by DateCreated desc)

select top 1 with ties子句告诉SQL Server要返回每个组的第一行。但是SQL Server如何知道如何对数据进行分组呢?这就是按row_number()的顺序除以(按documententid分区的顺序除以DateCreated desc的顺序。分区后的列定义了SQL Server如何对数据进行分组。在每个组中,行将根据列的顺序进行排序。排序之后,查询中将返回每个组中的第一行。

关于TOP子句的更多信息可以在这里找到。

从上面验证克林特的正确答案:

下面两个查询之间的性能非常有趣。52%是最高的。48%是第二个。使用DISTINCT而不是ORDER BY提高了4%的性能。但是ORDER BY具有按多列排序的优势。

IF (OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#DocumentStatusLogs') IS NOT NULL) BEGIN DROP TABLE #DocumentStatusLogs END

CREATE TABLE #DocumentStatusLogs (
    [ID] int NOT NULL,
    [DocumentID] int NOT NULL,
    [Status] varchar(20),
    [DateCreated] datetime
)

INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (2, 1, 'S1', '7/29/2011 1:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (3, 1, 'S2', '7/30/2011 2:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (6, 1, 'S1', '8/02/2011 3:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (1, 2, 'S1', '7/28/2011 4:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (4, 2, 'S2', '7/30/2011 5:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (5, 2, 'S3', '8/01/2011 6:00:00')
INSERT INTO #DocumentStatusLogs([ID], [DocumentID], [Status], [DateCreated]) VALUES (6, 3, 'S1', '8/02/2011 7:00:00')

选项1:

    SELECT
    [Extent1].[ID], 
    [Extent1].[DocumentID],
    [Extent1].[Status], 
    [Extent1].[DateCreated]
FROM #DocumentStatusLogs AS [Extent1]
    OUTER APPLY (
        SELECT TOP 1
            [Extent2].[ID], 
            [Extent2].[DocumentID],
            [Extent2].[Status], 
            [Extent2].[DateCreated]
        FROM #DocumentStatusLogs AS [Extent2]
        WHERE [Extent1].[DocumentID] = [Extent2].[DocumentID]
        ORDER BY [Extent2].[DateCreated] DESC, [Extent2].[ID] DESC
    ) AS [Project2]
WHERE ([Project2].[ID] IS NULL OR [Project2].[ID] = [Extent1].[ID])

选项2:

SELECT 
    [Limit1].[DocumentID] AS [ID], 
    [Limit1].[DocumentID] AS [DocumentID], 
    [Limit1].[Status] AS [Status], 
    [Limit1].[DateCreated] AS [DateCreated]
FROM (
    SELECT DISTINCT [Extent1].[DocumentID] AS [DocumentID] FROM #DocumentStatusLogs AS [Extent1]
) AS [Distinct1]
    OUTER APPLY  (
        SELECT TOP (1) [Project2].[ID] AS [ID], [Project2].[DocumentID] AS [DocumentID], [Project2].[Status] AS [Status], [Project2].[DateCreated] AS [DateCreated]
        FROM (
            SELECT 
                [Extent2].[ID] AS [ID], 
                [Extent2].[DocumentID] AS [DocumentID], 
                [Extent2].[Status] AS [Status], 
                [Extent2].[DateCreated] AS [DateCreated]
            FROM #DocumentStatusLogs AS [Extent2]
            WHERE [Distinct1].[DocumentID] = [Extent2].[DocumentID]
        )  AS [Project2]
        ORDER BY [Project2].[ID] DESC
    ) AS [Limit1]

在Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio中:在突出显示并运行第一个块后,突出显示选项1和选项2,右键单击->[显示估计的执行计划]。然后运行整个程序以查看结果。

选项1结果:

ID  DocumentID  Status  DateCreated
6   1   S1  8/2/11 3:00
5   2   S3  8/1/11 6:00
6   3   S1  8/2/11 7:00

选项2结果:

ID  DocumentID  Status  DateCreated
6   1   S1  8/2/11 3:00
5   2   S3  8/1/11 6:00
6   3   S1  8/2/11 7:00

注意:

当我想要一个连接为1到-(多个连接中的1个)时,我倾向于使用APPLY。 如果我想要连接为1对多或多对多,则使用JOIN。 我使用ROW_NUMBER()避免CTE,除非我需要做一些高级的事情,并且可以接受窗口性能损失。

我还避免在WHERE或ON子句中使用EXISTS / IN子查询,因为我曾经经历过这样会导致一些糟糕的执行计划。但具体里程各不相同。在需要的时候随时随地检查执行计划和概要文件的性能!

在你想避免使用row_count()的场景中,你也可以使用左连接:

select ds.DocumentID, ds.Status, ds.DateCreated 
from DocumentStatusLogs ds
left join DocumentStatusLogs filter 
    ON ds.DocumentID = filter.DocumentID
    -- Match any row that has another row that was created after it.
    AND ds.DateCreated < filter.DateCreated
-- then filter out any rows that matched 
where filter.DocumentID is null 

对于示例模式,你也可以使用"not in subquery",它通常编译到与左连接相同的输出:

select ds.DocumentID, ds.Status, ds.DateCreated 
from DocumentStatusLogs ds
WHERE ds.ID NOT IN (
    SELECT filter.ID 
    FROM DocumentStatusLogs filter
    WHERE ds.DocumentID = filter.DocumentID
        AND ds.DateCreated < filter.DateCreated)

注意,如果表没有至少一个单列唯一键/约束/索引(在本例中是主键“Id”),那么子查询模式将无法工作。

这两个查询往往比row_count()查询(由query Analyzer衡量)更“昂贵”。但是,您可能会遇到它们更快地返回结果或启用其他优化的情况。

CROSS APPLY是我在解决方案中使用的方法,因为它对我和客户的需求都有效。从我所读到的,应该提供最好的整体性能,如果他们的数据库大幅增长。

我相信这是可以做到的。这可能需要一些调整,但你可以从组中选择最大值。

这些答案太夸张了。

SELECT
  d.DocumentID,
  MAX(d.Status),
  MAX(d1.DateCreated)
FROM DocumentStatusLogs d, DocumentStatusLogs d1
USING DocumentID
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 3 DESC
;WITH cte AS
(
   SELECT *,
         ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY DocumentID ORDER BY DateCreated DESC) AS rn
   FROM DocumentStatusLogs
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1

如果您希望每天有2个条目,那么这将任意选择一个。要获得一天的两个条目,请使用DENSE_RANK代替

至于是否正常化,这取决于你是否想:

在两个地方保持状态 保存状态历史 ...

目前,您保留了状态历史。如果你也想在父表中保持最新状态(这是非规范化的),你需要一个触发器来维持父表中的“状态”。或者删除这个状态历史表。
