Re: Add calculated fields from one table to other table

Hi

Thanks a lot for your help. The query which you suggested gives me a result like this

A | 12:00| 12 | 64.99 | 63.99
| 12:01 | 0 | |
A | 12:02 | 5 | 36.99 | 32.99

but I wanted the result to look like this

A | 12:00| 12 | 64.99 | 63.99
A | 12:01 | 0 | |
A | 12:02 | 5 | 36.99 | 32.99

Can anybody help me with that.

Thanks in advance

Hi Roopa,

If your timeseries table has records for all minutes, then you should outer join both tables so as to get the desired results you are looking for... try doing this.

select tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time , count(tk.*), avg(tk.price),
sum(tk.price*tk.volume)/sum(tk.volume), sum(tk.volume)
from ticks tk right outer join timeseries tm
where tk.tick_time >= tm.timeseries_time
and tk.tick_time < (tm.timeseries_time + '1 minute' :: interval)::time
group by tm.timeseries_time,tk.ric order by tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time

Thanks a lot for your immediate reply. I want to explain more about it. The ticks table has many rows in each minute and timeseries table has 1 minute increment data. And the query is as mentioned below, which just displays the result for the minutes in which the tick data exists. but i would like the result for the query to be like

ric | time | count | avg_price | avg_volume
A | 12:00| 12 | 64.99 | 63.99
A | 12:01 | 0 | |
A | 12:02 | 5 | 36.99 | 32.99

but my query result is just

A | 12:00| 12 | 64.99 | 63.99
A | 12:02 | 5 | 36.99 | 32.99

so can you help me out to modify the query to get the result what I expect

select tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time, count(tk.*), avg(tk.price),
sum(tk.price*tk.volume)/sum(tk.volume), sum(tk.volume)
from ticks tk, timeseries tm where tk.tick_time >= tm.timeseries_time and
tk.tick_time < (tm.timeseries_time + '1 minute' :: interval)::time group by tm.timeseries_time,
tk.ric order by tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time

Thanks a lot in advance
Roopa

ps. I wrote the query from your idea. so tanks a lot

You have to use an outer join. You will need a table or sequence that has every minute in a range
that you are interested in and outer join that to your actual table. This will give you a count
of zero.

i.e.

select S.minute, count(W.minute) as minutecnt

from Series_of_Minutes S left join Working_table W

on S.minute = W.minute
;

hope this helps.

ps. sorry that my query suggestion didn't work :0)
