I am trying to retrieve a list of transaction IDS that only contain at least 5 product IDS, the baskets could have many more product IDS but it must contain these 5 also.

My table looks something like this:

| transaction_id | trans_date | product_id | store_id |

The table is all at product_id line level detail, nothing is rolled up.

select * from Transactions
where trans_date in ('2019-03-07','2019-03-06','2019-03-08','2019-03-09','2019-03-10')
and product_id in ('000000000021003503','000000000060280873','000000000060281480','000000000060281642','000000000020059281')

This is recovering all the transactions that contain these ids but I need it to be rolled up to a transaction level, so if the transaction_id contained these ids (at least) then its included.

Hopefully this makes sense

  • Are the trans_date values that you are looking for unrelated to the product_id values that you are looking for, or does the 1st trans_date belong with the 1st product_id, etc etc? Also it would help a lot if you would give data that properly illustrates the issue (source table data + query output that you get now + query output that you would want instead).

  • The trans_date and product_id are unrelated. The lines in the table are trasaction_id, date, store and product_id. the transaction_id may repeat many times depending on how many products the customer actually bought. What I would like to see is the transaction_id store_id and date only when the 5 product_ids are in the basket, if that makes sense.

If Impala supports GROUP BY, COUNT and HAVING, then you can use the following.

Here we select the records for matching dates and products, then we count how many product_ids we actually found for each transaction on each day, and we take only those results for which we found all 5 product_ids.

SELECT transaction_id, trans_date, COUNT(product_id) as counter
FROM   Transactions
WHERE  trans_date IN ('2019-03-07','2019-03-06','2019-03-08','2019-03-09','2019-03-10')
AND    product_id IN ('000000000021003503', '000000000060280873', '000000000060281480', '000000000060281642', '000000000020059281')
GROUP BY transaction_id, trans_date
HAVING count(product_id) = 5

If a single transaction is allowed to span multiple dates, then you can just leave out the trans_date from the SELECT and GROUP BY parts.
