Eliminate group of NULLs from result set
I have a query that returns a result set similar to the one below:
Quarter | Count
------- | -----
1 Q2 2009 | NULL
2 Q2 2009 | NULL
3 Q2 2009 | NULL
4 Q3 2009 | 26
5 Q3 2009 | 27
6 Q3 2009 | NULL
I don't want rows 1-3, because their combined Quarter-Count is NULL. 开发者_JAVA技巧 But I do want rows 3-6 because at least one Count from the same Quarter is not NULL.
How do I come from the result set above to this one:
Quarter | Count
------- | -----
1 Q3 2009 | 26
2 Q3 2009 | 27
3 Q3 2009 | NULL
Thanks.
SELECT
Quarter, Count
FROM
MyTable M
WHERE
EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM MyTable m2
WHERE m2.Count IS NOT NULL AND m.Quarter = m2.Quarter)
SELECT *
FROM mytable mo
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT NULL
FROM mytable mi
WHERE mi.quarter = mo.quarter
AND mi.count IS NOT NULL
)
You can take advantage of the fact that aggregate functions ignore null and do something like:
SELECT * FROM myTable m1 inner join
(
SELECT quarter as q2 from myTable
GROUP BY quarter
HAVING sum(count) is not null
) as m2 on m1.quarter = m2.q2
Which might have a better execution plan than an EXISTS - it might not.
