Question

我有一张这样的表：

 Column  | Type | Modifiers 
---------+------+-----------
 country | text | 
 food_id | int  | 
 eaten   | date |

对于每个国家，我想获得最常吃的食物。我能想到的最好的（我使用的是postgres）是：

CREATE TEMP TABLE counts AS 
   SELECT country, food_id, count(*) as count FROM munch GROUP BY country, food_id;

CREATE TEMP TABLE max_counts AS 
   SELECT country, max(count) as max_count FROM counts GROUP BY country;

SELECT country, max(food_id) FROM counts 
   WHERE (country, count) IN (SELECT * from max_counts) GROUP BY country;

在最后一个陈述中，需要GROUP BY和max（）来打破关系，其中两种不同的食物具有相同的数量。

对于概念上简单的事情，这似乎很多。是否有更直接的方式来做到这一点？

Answer 1

PostgreSQL在问到这个问题的那一年后，引入了对window functions的支持。值得注意的是，今天可能会解决如下问题：

SELECT country, food_id
  FROM (SELECT country, food_id, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY country ORDER BY freq DESC) AS rn
          FROM (  SELECT country, food_id, COUNT('x') AS freq
                    FROM country_foods
                GROUP BY 1, 2) food_freq) ranked_food_req
 WHERE rn = 1;

以上将打破关系。如果你不想打破关系，你可以改用DENSE_RANK（）。

Answer 2

SELECT DISTINCT
"F1"."food",
"F1"."country"
FROM "foo" "F1"
WHERE
"F1"."food" =
    (SELECT "food" FROM
        (
            SELECT "food", COUNT(*) AS "count"
            FROM "foo" "F2" 
            WHERE "F2"."country" = "F1"."country" 
            GROUP BY "F2"."food" 
            ORDER BY "count" DESC
        ) AS "F5"
        LIMIT 1
    )

嗯，我写的很匆忙，并没有很好地检查。子选择可能非常慢，但这是我能想到的最短且最简单的SQL语句。当我喝醉的时候，我可能会告诉你更多。

PS：哦，好吧，“foo”是我桌子的名字，“food”包含食物的名称，“country”包含国家名称。样本输出：

   food    |  country   
-----------+------------
 Bratwurst | Germany
 Fisch     | Frankreich

Answer 3

现在更简单：PostgreSQL 9.4引入了mode()函数：

select mode() within group (order by food_id)
from munch
group by country

返回（如user2247323的示例）：

country | mode
--------------
GB      | 3
US      | 1

请参阅此处的文档： https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Aggregate_Mode

Answer 4

试试这个：

Select Country, Food_id
From Munch T1
Where Food_id= 
    (Select Food_id
     from Munch T2
     where T1.Country= T2.Country
     group by Food_id
     order by count(Food_id) desc
      limit 1)
group by Country, Food_id

Answer 5

以下是没有任何临时表的方法：

编辑：简化

select nf.country, nf.food_id as most_frequent_food_id
from national_foods nf
group by country, food_id 
having
  (country,count(*)) in (  
                        select country, max(cnt)
                        from
                          (
                          select country, food_id, count(*) as cnt
                          from national_foods nf1
                          group by country, food_id
                          )
                        group by country
                        having country = nf.country
                        )

Answer 6

SELECT country, MAX( food_id )
  FROM( SELECT m1.country, m1.food_id
          FROM munch m1
         INNER JOIN ( SELECT country
                           , food_id
                           , COUNT(*) as food_counts
                        FROM munch m2
                    GROUP BY country, food_id ) as m3
                 ON m1.country = m3.country
         GROUP BY m1.country, m1.food_id 
        HAVING COUNT(*) / COUNT(DISTINCT m3.food_id) = MAX(food_counts) ) AS max_foods
  GROUP BY country

我不喜欢MAX（。）GROUP BY来打破关系......必须有一种方法可以通过某种方式将吃掉的日期合并到JOIN中，以便随意选择最新的......

如果您在实时数据上运行它，我对此事的查询计划感兴趣！

Answer 7

select country,food_id, count(*) ne  
from   food f1  
group by country,food_id    
having count(*) = (select max(count(*))  
                   from   food f2  
                   where  country = f1.country  
                   group by food_id)

Answer 8

尝试这样的事情

select country, food_id, count(*) cnt 
into #tempTbl 
from mytable 
group by country, food_id

select country, food_id
from  #tempTbl as x
where cnt = 
  (select max(cnt) 
  from mytable 
  where country=x.country 
  and food_id=x.food_id)

这可以全部放在一个选项中，但我现在没有时间去处理它。

祝你好运。

Answer 9

这是一个声明，我相信它会给你你想要的东西，简单明了：

select distinct on (country) country, food_id
from munch
group by country, food_id
order by country, count(*) desc

请让我知道你的想法。

BTW， distinct 功能仅在Postgres中可用。

示例，源数据：

country | food_id | eaten
US        1         2017-1-1
US        1         2017-1-1
US        2         2017-1-1
US        3         2017-1-1
GB        3         2017-1-1
GB        3         2017-1-1
GB        2         2017-1-1

输出：

country | food_id
US        1
GB        3
