15. From the following tables, write a SQL query to find the names of the patients and the room number where they need to be treated. Return patient name as "Patient", examination room as "Room No.", and starting date time as Date "Date and Time of appointment".

Sample table: patient


Sample table: appointment


Sample Solution:

SELECT p.name AS "Patient",
       a.examinationroom AS "Room No.",
       a.start_dt_time AS "Date and Time of appointment"
FROM patient p
JOIN appointment a ON p.ssn=a.patient;

 Grace Ritchie     | B        | 2008-04-24 10:00:00
 John Smith        | A        | 2008-04-25 10:00:00
 Dennis Doe        | B        | 2008-04-25 10:00:00
 Dennis Doe        | C        | 2008-04-26 10:00:00
 Random J. Patient | C        | 2008-04-26 11:00:00
 John Smith        | C        | 2008-04-26 12:00:00
 Dennis Doe        | A        | 2008-04-27 10:00:00

SQL: Tips of the Day

Grouped LIMIT in PostgreSQL: Show the first N rows for each group?

db=# SELECT * FROM xxx;
 id | section_id | name
----+------------+------
  1 |          1 | A
  2 |          1 | B
  3 |          1 | C
  4 |          1 | D
  5 |          2 | E
  6 |          2 | F
  7 |          3 | G
  8 |          2 | H
(8 rows)

I need the first 2 rows (ordered by name) for each section_id, i.e. a result similar to:

id | section_id | name
----+------------+------
  1 |          1 | A
  2 |          1 | B
  5 |          2 | E
  6 |          2 | F
  7 |          3 | G
(5 rows)

PostgreSQL v9.3 you can do a lateral join

select distinct t_outer.section_id, t_top.id, t_top.name from t t_outer
join lateral (
    select * from t t_inner
    where t_inner.section_id = t_outer.section_id
    order by t_inner.name
    limit 2
) t_top on true
order by t_outer.section_id;
