Hierarchical-data using database MySql version 8.0.17


In the table t_contents stored an a database MySql version 8.0.17 I have these rows

+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----+
| Contents                | sID_c | sID_p | sID |
+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----+
| Content 1               |     1 | NULL  |   1 |
| - Gaio Giulio Cesare    |     1 | NULL  |   2 |
| Veni, vidi, vici.       |     1 | NULL  |   3 |
| Carpe diem.             |     1 | NULL  |   4 |
| Ubi maior minor cessat. |     1 | NULL  |   5 |
| - Quinto Orazio Flacco  |     1 | NULL  |   6 |
| Condicio sine qua non.  |     1 | NULL  |   7 |
| Carthago delenda est.   |     1 | NULL  |   8 |
| Content 2               |     2 | NULL  |   9 |
| - Marco Porcio Catone   |     2 | NULL  |  10 |
| Inter sidera versor.    |     2 | NULL  |  11 |
| Content 3               |     3 | NULL  |  12 |
| - Marco Tullio Cicero   |     3 | NULL  |  13 |
| Vivere est cogitare     |     3 | NULL  |  14 |
+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----+

In the column Contents of the table t_contents:

  1. The Content 1 it's a Section
  2. The - Gaio Giulio Cesare it's a Chapter
  3. The Veni, vidi, vici, Carpe diem. and Ubi maior minor cessat. are the paragraph of Chapter
  4. etc...

I don’t know the number of Section, Chapter and the paragraph of Chapter … are variables…

I need count these rows and group these rows for sID_c field, to this return

mysql> SELECT
    Contents,
    COUNT(*) q 
FROM
    `t_contents` 
GROUP BY
    sID_c;
+-----------+----+
| Contents  | q  |
+-----------+----+
| Content 1 |  8 |
| Content 2 |  3 |
| Content 3 |  3 |
+-----------+----+
3 rows in set (0.02 sec)

And using the q value, min and max, for return this scheme

+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----+
| Contents                | sID_c | sID_p | sID |
+-------------------------+-------+-------+-----+
| Content 1               |     1 | 1.1   |   1 |
| - Gaio Giulio Cesare    |     1 | 1.2   |   2 |
| Veni, vidi, vici.       |     1 | 1.3   |   3 |
| Carpe diem.             |     1 | 1.4   |   4 |
| Ubi maior minor cessat. |     1 | 1.5   |   5 |
| - Quinto Orazio Flacco  |     1 | 1.6   |   6 |
| Condicio sine qua non.  |     1 | 1.7   |   7 |
| Carthago delenda est.   |     1 | 1.8   |   8 |
| Content 2               |     2 | 2.1   |   9 |
| - Marco Porcio Catone   |     2 | 2.2   |  10 |
| Inter sidera versor.    |     2 | 2.3   |  11 |
| Content 3               |     3 | 3.1   |  12 |
| - Marco Tullio Cicero   |     3 | 3.2   |  13 |
| Vivere est cogitare     |     3 | 3.3   |  14 |

Solution

  • You need to concatenate sID_c with a number returned by ROW_NUMBER() window function:

    SELECT Contents, 
           sID_c, 
           CONCAT(sID_c, '.', ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY sID_c ORDER BY sID)) sID_p,
           sID
    FROM t_contents
    

    Or if you want to update the table:

    WITH cte AS (
      SELECT CONCAT(sID_c, '.', ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY sID_c ORDER BY sID)) sID_p,
             sID
      FROM t_contents
    )
    UPDATE t_contents t
    INNER JOIN cte c ON c.sID = t.sID
    SET t.sID_p = c.sID_p
    

    See the demo.
