Rekodierungstabelle

Ursprüngliche Werte: Tabelle fruit

 customer | fav_fruit 
----------+-----------
      349 | apple
      874 | Apple
      703 | apple
      667 | bannana
      622 | banana
      387 | BANANA
      300 | APPLES
      313 |  apple
      499 |  banana
      418 | apple
      841 | BANANA
      300 | APPLE
      754 | apple

Standardisierte Werte: Tabelle recode

 original | standardized  
----------+--------------
 APPLES   | apple
 apple    | apple  
 Apple    | apple
 bannana  | banana
 apple    | apple
  banana  | banana
 banana   | banana
 APPLE    | apple
  apple   | apple
 BANANA   | banana

Schritt 1: CREATE TEMP TABLE

CREATE TEMP TABLE recode AS

  SELECT DISTINCT fav_fruit AS original,  -- original, messy values

         fav_fruit AS standardized        -- new standardized values

    FROM fruit;

Anfangstabelle

SELECT * 
  FROM recode;

 original | standardized 
----------+--------------
 APPLES   | APPLES
 apple    | apple  
 Apple    | Apple
 bannana  | bannana
 apple    | apple
  banana  |  banana
 banana   | banana
 APPLE    | APPLE
  apple   |  apple
 BANANA   | BANANA
(10 rows)

Schritt 2: Werte für UPDATE

UPDATE table_name
   SET column_name = new_value
 WHERE condition;

Schritt 2: Werte für UPDATE

-- All rows: lower case, remove white space on ends

UPDATE recode 
   SET standardized=trim(lower(original));

-- Specific rows: correct a misspelling

UPDATE recode
   SET standardized='banana'
 WHERE standardized LIKE '%nn%';

-- All rows: remove any s

UPDATE recode
   SET standardized=rtrim(standardized, 's');

Resultierende Rekodierungstabelle

SELECT * 
  FROM recode;

 original | standardized 
----------+--------------
 APPLES   | apple
 apple    | apple
 Apple    | apple
 apple    | apple
  banana  | banana
 banana   | banana
 APPLE    | apple
  apple   | apple
 BANANA   | banana
 bannana  | banana
(10 rows)

Schritt 3: JOIN von Original- und Rekodierungstabelle

Nur Original

SELECT fav_fruit, count(*) 
  FROM fruit 
 GROUP BY fav_fruit;

 fav_fruit | count 
-----------+-------
 APPLES    |     1
 apple     |     1
 apple     |     3
  banana   |     1
 BANANA    |     2
  apple    |     1
 APPLE     |     1
 bannana   |     1
 banana    |     1
 Apple     |     1
(10 rows)

Mit neu kodierten Werten

SELECT standardized, 
       count(*) 
  FROM fruit
       LEFT JOIN recode
       ON fav_fruit=original
 GROUP BY standardized;

 standardized | count 
--------------+-------
 apple        |     8
 banana       |     5
(2 rows)
