Remove Redundant Pairs - SQL Interview Query 1 | SQL Problem Level "HARD"
30DaySQLQueryChallenge is a series of 30 videos covering 30 SQL Interview Queries. This is the first video in this series. This video series aims to provide 30 SQL Queries that can be asked during SQL Interviews. In these videos, I will explain how to solve and address such SQL queries during interviews.
This particular video covers an SQL Interview query that I found on Reddit.
Learn and Practice SQL on LearnSQL platform below:

It is informative from the problem statement we get idea how to solve thank you so much it is helpful for me this 30 days i will become still more strong in SQL database
Great solution. I'm afraid I am a bit late to start but I will definitely continue this!
Thanks you Sir, it really helpful
You are helping me a lot to build my understanding about SQL, Thanks to you I have cleared most of the interviews by watching and following you. I will be turning in for this series. 😊
Good question❤ starting it from today.
You are simply amazing buddy... I am user CTE many times, but not as you shown.. Fan of yours... ❤❤ Will be tuning daily.. Your first example has cracked and shown us where we land in DB queries... Thank You For Us Efforts
Thank you so much for starting this series. 🙏
Great !!, Thank you

Thoufiq Mohammed Thank you for the thorough explanation. The problem's difficulty level is high. Below is my solution: I utilized others columns in the Partition By clause, ensuring accurate row numbering without the need for an additional where clause condition. ;with CTE AS ( Select * , case when brand1 from [Asif_SQL].[dbo].[brands] ), CTE_RN AS ( SELECT * , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY BRAND,CUSTOM1,CUSTOM2,CUSTOM3,CUSTOM4 ORDER BY BRAND ASC ) AS RN FROM CTE ) SELECT brand1,brand2,year,custom1,custom2,custom3,custom4 FROM CTE_RN WHERE RN = 1

What will you do if the brand is of equal length?
Hi sir, My solution is kind of similar as below with cte as (select *,case when custom1=custom3 and custom2=custom4 then 1 when custom1custom3 or custom2custom4 then 2 else 3 end as r from t1) select * except(r,rn) from (select *,row_number() over(partition by r,year order by year) as rn from cte) a where coalesce(case when r=1 then rn=1 else null end,1=1)
Amazing video sir, Thanks for your time
Techtfq is back💯😎 We all are excited.
big thanks techTFQ

we can put union as well in place of or, and case statements for the conditions in place of Row_num window function, rest is same.

In my opinion at least out of 30 question first 5 should have been Easy to Medium Level. It seems to be hard and complex for me. The questions should have been from only 1 function among these CTE, Case, Subquery, etc

Hello Thoufiq.. Thank you so much for sharing great content. Are you offering online training for sql & plsql?
More 8 mints to go
Hi Tafiq, I'm also your huge friend, and your technic is always help to improve my skill. I saw the solution and the logic behind this I am speechless and amazed. This is the type of content we need. thanks you so much. Hey Tofiq, I have downloaded you content but that file is blank. please help me on that.....
I couldn't solve myself, but I find it easy after seeing the solution..not sure y.
Thanks a lot for the video. the way you explain CTE's are awesome!! in your solution line number 20, as per problem statement, it should be an OR condition ryt ? ('or (custom1 custom3 OR custom2 custom4)')
Hello , I am looking help from you ❤
Thanks, it was Helpful 👍 Quick question, what if there was a row with NULL in brand1 column Example: INSERT INTO brands VALUES ( NULL,'lava', 2020, 5, 9, NULL, NULL);
Done
Awesome, Can you share excel page : it's good to store the results and everthing in excel
I am sure you love cases😂.Make a video on them please 😅
@techTFQ Hi, thanks for uploading useful videos. I want to ask: this is easy, medium or hard question?
will you cover ORMs
This was really helpful. However, if the dataset was too big and brand records were many & different, I don't think "case when" functionality would be helpful. At the moment because of the dataset we have, that would be the easiest way!
Bro pz upload 2 video per day😊
For condition: For pairs of brands in the same year ---> if custom1 != custom3 OR custom2 != custom4 : then keep both pairs Why is it (custom1 custom3 AND custom2 custom4) NOT is (custom1 custom3 OR custom2 custom4) ?
Thanks a lot for the content.. WITH PAIRS AS( SELECT *,CASE WHEN brand1
What if after creating the pairid, we just perform groupby operation based on pairid, custom1, custom2, custom3 and custom4 and then filter it by using having count = 1? Will this approach work?
My Approach:- select BRAND1,BRAND2,year,Custom1,Custom2,Custom3,Custom4 from (select case when rk=2 and Custom1==custom3 and custom2==custom4 then 1 else 0 end as duplicate_entry,p.* from (select row_number() over (partition by common_name,year order by Brand1) as rk,k.* from (select *,concat(greatest(BRAND1,BRAND2),least(BRAND1,BRAND2)) as common_name from input_table)k)p)o where duplicate_entry1 order by BRAND1
Below query will also work right ? with tab1 as (select * from brands where c1 c3 or c2 c4), tab2 as (select * from brands where (b1 is null or b2 is null), tab3 as (select b1, b2, year, c1, c2, c3, c4 from brands where c1 = c3 and c2 = c4), tab4 as (select b2, b1, year, c1, c2, c3, c4 from brands where c1 = c3 and c2 = c4) select * from tab1 UNION select * from tab2 UNION select * from tab3 UNION select * from tab4;
with cte_check as ( select *, case when (custom1custom3 and custom2custom4) or custom1 is null or custom2 is null or custom3 is null or custom4 is null then 1 when brand1 = LEAD(brand2) over(order by year) and LEAD(brand1) over(order by year)=brand2 and year = LEAD(year) over(order by year) and (custom1=custom3 and custom2=custom4) then 2 end as dd from brands ) select brand1,brand2,year,custom1,custom2,custom3,custom4 from cte_check where dd in (1,2)
with cte as (Select *, row_number() over(partition by Case when brand1>brand2 then CONCAT(brand1,brand2,year) else CONCAT(brand2,brand1,year) end order by year) as rn from brands) Select * from cte rn where rn=1 or (custom1 custom3 and custom2 custom4)
By using dense_rank we can solve this
Made complex query too easy.
amazing!! can you tell me what to do in case of equal length of brand1 and brand2? thanks in advance :)

you can put that condition in the same case along with < condition. Ultimately we are concatenating all the records in that cte.
it is very tipical to download the data set could you please help me with that
Bro @malcorub what if brand1 and brand2 length is same
How will you know when to use CTE by looking at the question, sir?
My question is you can also select query with column name what you have done in last to fetch the data . What is the need of using cte then

Hi, Since it has example of 5-6 records, when we have large amount of records, how we can mak sure that the 1st condition if custom1 = custom3 & custom2 = custom4 will not be satisfied to eliminate the duplicate? Please reply. Thank you

I try to download the dataset but I could not able to do it can you help me to download the data set
i was waiting for this
how about 100 days of database series,from 0 to 100 making people perfect in DB, i would like to join.
@techTFQ Can we give OR condition instead of AND in WHERE condition at final query like as: where rn = 1 or (custom1 custom3 OR custom2 custom4); ????????????????
Can we use self join instead here!
Where is the data set ?
with cte as ( select *, case when custom1 = custom3 and custom2 = custom4 then 'match' else 'not_matched' end as is_match, row_number()over(order by (select null)) as rn, row_number()over(partition by year order by (select null)) as rn_1 from brands ), cte1 as ( select *, (rn - rn_1) as pair from cte ) select min(brand1) as brand1, max(brand2) as brand2, max(year) as year, max(custom1) as custom1, max(custom2) as custom2, max(custom3) as custom3, max(custom4) as custom4 from cte1 where is_match = 'match' group by pair union all select brand1, brand2, year, custom1, custom2, custom3, custom4 from cte1 where true and is_match != 'match';
With CTEs, we dont have to deal with subqueries!
I think there should have been 'or' condition in the bracket instead of 'and'
Hi May I ask a question?even thou you have filtered where rn = 1; , I still see one rn=2 in that column why?
