我正在使用PostgreSQL并且有一个表格,其路径列的类型为ltree
。
我想解决的问题是:给定整个树结构, 除了根之外,父母的孩子最多。
示例数据如下所示:
path column = ; has a depth of 0 and has 11 children its id is 1824 # dont want this one because its the root
path column = ; has a depth of 0 and has 1 children its id is 1823
path column = 1823; has a depth of 1 and has 1 children its id is 1825
path column = 1823.1825; has a depth of 2 and has 1 children its id is 1826
path column = 1823.1825.1826; has a depth of 3 and has 1 children its id is 1827
path column = 1823.1825.1826.1827; has a depth of 4 and has 1 children its id is 1828
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991; has a depth of 6 and has 5 children its id is 2001
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001; has a depth of 7 and has 1 children its id is 2141
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001; has a depth of 7 and has 0 children its id is 2040
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001; has a depth of 7 and has 1 children its id is 2054
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001; has a depth of 7 and has 0 children its id is 2253
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001; has a depth of 7 and has 1 children its id is 2166
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001.2054; has a depth of 8 and has 0 children its id is 2205
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001.2141; has a depth of 8 and has 0 children its id is 2161
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001.2166; has a depth of 8 and has 1 children its id is 2389
path column = 1824.1925.1955.1959.1972.1991.2001.2166.2389; has a depth of 9 and has 0 children its id is 2402
path column = 1824.1925.1983; has a depth of 3 and has 1 children its id is 2135
path column = 1824.1925.1983.2135; has a depth of 4 and has 0 children its id is 2239
path column = 1824.1926; has a depth of 2 and has 5 children its id is 1942
path column = 1824.1926; has a depth of 2 and has 11 children its id is 1928 # this is the row I am after
path column = 1824.1926; has a depth of 2 and has 2 children its id is 1933
path column = 1824.1926; has a depth of 2 and has 2 children its id is 1989
path column = 1824.1926.1928; has a depth of 3 and has 3 children its id is 2051
path column = 1824.1926.1928; has a depth of 3 and has 0 children its id is 2024
path column = 1824.1926.1928; has a depth of 3 and has 2 children its id is 1988
因此,在此示例中,id 1824 (根)的行有11个子节点,id 1928 的行有11个子节点,深度为2;这是我追求的那一行。
我是ltree和sql的新手。
(这是一个修订过的问题,在Ltree find parent with most children postgresql关闭后添加了样本数据)。
答案 0 :(得分:5)
要查找具有最多子节点的节点:
SELECT subpath(path, -1, 1), count(*) AS children
FROM tbl
WHERE path <> ''
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC
LIMIT 1;
...并排除根节点:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT ltree2text(subpath(path, -1, 1))::int AS tbl_id, count(*) AS children
FROM tbl
WHERE path <> ''
GROUP BY 1
) ct
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT tbl_id
FROM tbl
WHERE path = ''
) x USING (tbl_id)
WHERE x.tbl_id IS NULL
ORDER BY children DESC
LIMIT 1
假设根节点有一个空的ltree
(''
)作为路径。可能是NULL
。然后使用path IS NULL
...
您示例中的获胜者实际上是2001
,有5个孩子。
在负偏移量的路径中获取最后一个节点,这是该元素的直接父级。
计算父母出现的频率,排除根节点并获取最高计数的剩余节点。
使用ltree2text()
从ltree
中提取值。
如果多个节点拥有最多的子节点,则在示例中选择任意一个节点。
这是我为了获得有用的测试用例而做的工作(在修剪一些噪音之后):
请参阅SQLfiddle。
换句话说:请记得下次提供一个有用的测试用例。
回答评论。
首先,扩展测试用例:
ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN postal_code text
, ADD COLUMN whatever serial;
UPDATE tbl SET postal_code = (1230 + whatever)::text;
看看:
SELECT * FROM tbl;
只需JOIN
结果给基表中的父级:
SELECT ct.*, t.postal_code
FROM (
SELECT ltree2text(subpath(path, -1, 1))::int AS tbl_id, count(*) AS children
FROM tbl
WHERE path <> ''
GROUP BY 1
) ct
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT tbl_id
FROM tbl
WHERE path = ''
) x USING (tbl_id)
JOIN tbl t USING (tbl_id)
WHERE x.tbl_id IS NULL
ORDER BY children DESC
LIMIT 1;
