问题:
Write a SQL query to find all numbers that appear at least three times consecutively.
+----+-----+ | Id | Num | +----+-----+ | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 1 | | 3 | 1 | | 4 | 2 | | 5 | 1 | | 6 | 2 | | 7 | 2 | +----+-----+
For example, given the above Logs
table, 1
is the only number that appears consecutively for at least three times.
+-----------------+ | ConsecutiveNums | +-----------------+ | 1 | +-----------------+
解决:
① 找出连续出现3次以上的数的值。由于需要找三次相同数字,所以我们需要建立三个表的实例,我们可以用l1分别和l2, l3内交,l1和l2的Id下一个位置比,l1和l3的下两个位置比,然后将Num都相同的数字返回即可。1822 ms
SELECT DISTINCT l1.Num ConsecutiveNums FROM Logs l1
JOIN Logs l2 ON l1.Id = l2.Id - 1
JOIN Logs l3 ON l1.Id = l3.Id - 2
WHERE l1.Num = l2.Num AND l2.Num = l3.Num;
② 直接在三个表的实例中查找,然后把四个条件限定上,就可以返回正确结果了。 2803 ms
SELECT DISTINCT l1.Num ConsecutiveNums FROM Logs l1,Logs l2,Logs l3
WHERE l1.Id = l2.Id - 1 AND l2.Id = l3.Id - 1
AND l1.Num = l2.Num AND l2.Num = l3.Num;
③ 用到了变量count和pre,分别初始化为0和-1。2438 ms
SELECT DISTINCT Num ConsecutiveNums FROM (
SELECT Num,@count := IF(@pre = Num,@count + 1,1) As n,@pre := Num
FROM Logs,(SELECT @count := 0,@pre := -1) As init
) As t WHERE t.n >= 3;
