Creating column and filtering it in one select statement
Some databases support a QUALIFY
clause which you might be able to use:
SELECT *
FROM table1
QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY date) = 1;
On SQL Server, you may use a TOP 1 WITH TIES
trick:
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES *
FROM table1
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY date);
More generally, you would have to use a subquery:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT t.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY date) rn
FROM table1 t
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1;
The WHERE
clause is evaluated before the SELECT
so your column has to exist before you can use a WHERE
clause. You could achieve this by making a subquery of the original query.
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT row_number() over (partition by ID order by date asc) row#
FROM table1
) a
WHERE a.row# = 1
