Getting Student's Code who failed more than 45% of their tests

PostgreSQL

So, I want to return all the student's unique code who have failed more than 45% of their tests that they've taken.

  • You are cross join a1,a2. Fix From ( ... ) a1 LEFT JOIN (...) a2 ON a1.code=a2.code

You could use this:



Assume as in your data - Grade (75 or above is passing) => grade < 75 is failed



SELECT code
FROM exams
GROUP BY code
HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN grade < 75 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) :: FLOAT / COUNT(grade) > 0.45;


This is Sqlfiddle

  • SELECT code FROM students, exams GROUP BY code HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN exams.grade < 75 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(exams.grade) > 0.3; I edited it because of errors with From and grade, but I get no rows from this

    – thefalsehuman
    Oct 30 '18 at 3:15













  • Hmmm still no rows being outputted. I think the recommended way to do this is to calculate the total tests and the total failed tests per student and compare those two columns, but I'm not sure what's wrong with my code. Thanks!

  • @thefalsehuman edited my answer. That is exactly what it did, calculate the number of failed exams, then divine by total exams. Must convert to float first or the divine will be FLOORed to nearest integer (0)

I would simply write this as:



SELECT e.code
FROM exams e
GROUP BY e.code
HAVING AVG( (e.grade < 75)::numeric ) > 0.45;
