Hi!
I have a "SQL query construction" question that I hope someone can help
me with. After comparing a bunch of DNA fragments (see name below) with
a larger reference sequence I get a ordered list ranked according to
similarities, and with start/stop co-ordinates where the fragments map
to the reference sequence:
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
| name | rank | start | stop | sub_rank |
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
| A | 1 | 1 | 1000 | NULL |
| B | 2 | 2 | 998 | NULL |
| C | 4 | 1100 | 2000 | NULL |
| D | 3 | 3050 | 4100 | NULL |
| E | 5 | 2040 | 3000 | NULL |
| F | 6 | 1102 | 2000 | NULL |
| G | 7 | 1098 | 1998 | NULL |
| H | 8 | 3048 | 4100 | NULL |
| I | 9 | 3051 | 4102 | NULL |
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
A graphical representation of fragments mapped to the ref sequence:
ref========================================>
1 A------>
2 B---->
3 D------>
4 C------>
5 E---->
6 F------->
7 G------->
8 H------->
9 I------->
Now, I want to group fragments in each overlapping position and sub-rank
them according to their rank in that position. The final table would
then look like:
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
| name | rank | start | stop | sub_rank |
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
| A | 1 | 1 | 1000 | 1 |
| B | 2 | 2 | 998 | 2 |
| C | 4 | 1100 | 2000 | 1 |
| D | 3 | 3050 | 4100 | 1 |
| E | 5 | 2040 | 3000 | 1 |
| F | 6 | 1102 | 2000 | 2 |
| G | 7 | 1098 | 1998 | 3 |
| H | 8 | 3048 | 4100 | 2 |
| I | 9 | 3051 | 4102 | 3 |
+------+------+-------+------+----------+
Is this possible to achieve using SQL queries alone (perhaps with GROUP
BY, nested SELECTs etc)?
I've managed to do this with a Perl-DBI script, but would much prefer to
do it completely with MySQL instead. The Perl code is below and below
that is the MySQL-dump of the test data set...
Many thanks in advance!

sub_rank IS NULL)))")};
for ($rank=0; $rank < scalar(@null_sub_ranks); $rank++ ) {
$sub_rank = $rank + 1;
$dbh->do("UPDATE test SET sub_rank=$sub_rank WHERE rank=
$null_sub_ranks[$rank]");
