一、Description:
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 |
+-----------------+
二、Solution:
解法一:
#Approach: Using DISTINCT and WHERE clause [Accepted]
SELECT DISTINCT
l1.Num AS 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;
解法二:
#Another way of writing the query using explicit JOIN keyword
SELECT DISTINCT l1.Num AS ConsecutiveNums
FROM Logs AS l1
INNER JOIN Logs AS l2
ON l1.Id = l2.Id - 1 AND l1.Num = l2.Num
INNER JOIN Logs AS l3
ON l2.Id = l3.Id - 1 AND l2.Num = l3.Num;
