Compute By clause in SQL Server



We can use this clause to sum/count/avg/max/min so on. This clause will give you the output as detail and summary which is based on the fields you want to summarize.



select * 
from #temp 
order by student 
compute sum(marks) by student


in above compute by clause, you must specify the field you want to sum in Compute clause and specify the field in By clause based on which field you need to compute.

Very important thing is you must specify the Order By clause in which specify the fileds whatever you specify in By clause in Compute clause.

The output of above query is,




When we try with max,min,avg, the query and output would be as shown below,


Using Max()

select * from #temp
order by student
compute max(marks) by student



Using Min ()

select * from #temp
order by student
compute min(marks) by student

Using Avg()
select * from #temp
order by student
compute avg(marks) by student

SQL SERVER – TRIM() Function – UDF TRIM()

SQL Server does not have Trim() function. So we can create a own UDF (User Defined Function) function for this since SQL Sever does LTRIM(),RTRIM() functions and we can use this any time. Here I have created a simple Function for this. Create Function Trim(@mText varchar(MAX)) Returns varchar(MAX) AS Begin return LTRIM(RTRIM(@mText)) End You can run this function as shown below here, Select dbo.Trim(' Test ') So this function would return ‘Test’ only as LTRIM() function would cut off the Left side spaces and RTRIM() functiom would cut off the Right side spaces.

SQL Server/Oracle/MySQL Union query Many time we require results from different tables or different queries. We try one after the other and list the result accordingly. There is a better way to do this by using UNION command or query. We can list records of two different tables by combining two sql queries to one. What is the advantage ? We can as well write the query two times and display one after the other. The point here is we can pick up unique records also. Say we have two tables one is storing name of the football players and other is storing players of baseball team. We want to display a list of players who are member of one of the team at least. Here we can display the name of the players by using UNION command. If John is member of football and baseball team then his name will appear once only. If we want to display all the records then we can use ALL along with the UNION command. Here are two tables with three records each. Please note that there is one common record
