[SQL] Presenting data in 5 Rows & 5 Cols for 25 specific values

2013-08-03 Thread F Bax
I have a table containing tasks completed in a game I'm playing.  The game
includes an extra BINGO Challenge where each cell of standard BINGO card
contains a particular task to be completed.  The goal is score a BINGO
(row, column, diagonal) by completing five (or more) tasks from the BINGO
cards.  My task table contains more tasks completed than the one included
in the BINGO challenge.

SELECT task, CASE WHEN task='Task27' THEN 'R1C1' WHEN task='Task32' THEN
'R1C2' ... WHEN task='Task94' THEN 'R5C5' END AS bingo FROM tasks WHERE
bingo IS NOT NULL;

This query will retrieve all tasks related to the BINGO that I have
completed and present them in a simple list.  I would like to arrange the
tasks as a BINGO card; so that I can easily see my progress on various rows
& columns working toward a BINGO.

Any suggestions?

BONUS points will be awarded if the query displays a row with 5 NULL values
if no tasks are completed in that row.

I don't think you've fully described your tables so I've ad libbed a 
little.  This is not a complete solution (and certainly no bonus point) 
but it should give you one starting point. Your CTE will have to deal 
with transforming the RmCn into something more useful

create table bingo (ttype text, username text, task text, r int, c int);
begin;
insert into bingo values
('bingo','me','task0',0, 0),
('bingo','me','task1',0, 1),
('bingo','me','task2',0, 2),
('bingo','me','task3',0, 3),
('bingo','me','task4',0, 4),
('bingo','me','task5',1, 0),
('bingo','me','task6',1, 1),
('bingo','me','task7',1, 2),
('bingo','me','task8',1, 3),
('bingo','me','task9',1, 4),
('bingo','me','task10',2, 0),
...
('bingo','me','task71',14, 1),
('bingo','me','task72',14, 2),
('bingo','me','task73',14, 3),
('bingo','me','task74',14, 4)

with bingoline as (
select r, array_agg(task) as taskline from bingo where mod(r,5) = 0 and 
username = 'me' group by r

union--
select r, array_agg(task) as taskline from bingo where mod(r,5) = 1 and 
username = 'me' group by r

union--
select r, array_agg(task) as taskline from bingo where mod(r,5) = 2 and 
username = 'me' group by r

union--
select r, array_agg(task) as taskline from bingo where mod(r,5) = 3 and 
username = 'me' group by r

union--
select r, array_agg(task) as taskline from bingo where mod(r,5) = 4 and 
username = 'me' group by r

)
select array_to_string(bl.taskline, '|', 'nil') from bingoline bl order 
by bl.r;

;
