Here is a boiled down example of a scenario which I am having a bit of
difficulty solving.
This is a catchall table where all the rows are related to the "id" but are
entered by different unrelated processes that do not necessarily have access to the other
data bits.
CREATE TABLE test (
id INTEGER,
rspid INTEGER,
nspid INTEGER,
cid INTEGER,
iac BOOLEAN,
newp SMALLINT,
oldp SMALLINT,
ppv NUMERIC(7,2),
tppv NUMERIC(7,2)
);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, cid, iac) VALUES (1,2,3,4,TRUE);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, newp) VALUES (1,2,3,100);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, oldp) VALUES (1,2,3,200);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, tppv) VALUES (1,2,3,4100);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, tppv) VALUES (1,2,3,3100);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, ppv) VALUES (1,2,3,-100);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, ppv) VALUES (1,2,3,250);
INSERT INTO test (id, rspid, nspid, cid) VALUES (2,7,8,4);
-- raw data now looks like this:
select * from test;
id | rspid | nspid | cid | iac | newp | oldp | ppv | tppv
----+-------+-------+-----+-----+------+------+---------+---------
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | t | | | |
1 | 2 | 3 | | | 100 | | |
1 | 2 | 3 | | | | 200 | |
1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | | 4100.00
1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | | 3100.00
1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | -100.00 |
1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | 250.00 |
2 | 7 | 8 | 4 | | | | |
(8 rows)
-- I want this result (where ppv and tppv are summed and the other distinct
values are boiled down into one row)
-- I want to avoid writing explicit UNIONs that will break if, say the "cid" was entered
as a discreet row from the row containing "iac"
-- in this example "rspid" and "nspid" are always the same for a given ID,
however they could possibly be absent for a given row as well
id | rspid | nspid | cid | iac | newp | oldp | ppv | tppv
----+-------+-------+-----+-----+------+------+---------+---------
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | t | 100 | 200 | 150.00 | 7200.00
2 | 7 | 8 | 4 | | | | 0.00 | 0.00
I have experimented with doing the aggregates as a CTE and then joining that to
various incarnations of DISTINCT and DISTINCT ON, but those do not do what I
want. Trying to find the right combination of terms to get an answer from
Google has been unfruitful.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your consideration.
