Run Queries on Data

You can start running queries once the data is loaded into your SingleStore database. Here are some example queries to be used with the Stocks Trading dataset.

Query 1: Finds the most traded stocks

This query finds the most traded stocks.

USE trades;
SELECT stock_symbol, COUNT(*) AS c
FROM trade
GROUP BY stock_symbol
ORDER BY c DESC LIMIT 5;
+--------------+-------+
| stock_symbol | c     |
+--------------+-------+
| TIG          | 30401 |
| FB           | 30300 |
| MNGA         | 30300 |
| QCOM         | 30199 |
| KHC          | 30199 |
+--------------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.11 sec)

Query 2: Finds the most volatile stocks

This query finds the most volatile stocks which have the highest variance in prices.

USE trades;
SELECT stock_symbol, VARIANCE(share_price) var
FROM trade
GROUP BY stock_symbol
ORDER BY var DESC
LIMIT 5; /* Remove LIMIT to see full result*/
+--------------+-------------+
| stock_symbol | var         |
+--------------+-------------+
| IBKR         | 32.24672973 |
| XRAY         | 28.09745295 |
| ODFL         | 25.18033964 |
| ALGN         | 24.47217863 |
| VXUS         | 24.11941421 |
+--------------+-------------+
5 rows in set (1.74 sec)

Query 3: Portfolio Aggregation

This is a portfolio aggregation query that uses Common Table Expression (CTE), JOIN, and window functions. It also computes minimum, maximum, standard deviation, weighted average, and percentiles for each company stock.

USE trades;
WITH folio AS (
SELECT id, stock_symbol, shares, share_price, trade_time
FROM trade
),
AggCalcs AS (
SELECT
stock_symbol AS ACsymb,
MAX(share_price) AS pmax,
MIN(share_price) AS pmin,
STD(share_price) AS pstd,
SUM(share_price*shares)/SUM(shares) AS avg_pps, ## Weighted Average
SUM(share_price*shares) AS total_pvalue
FROM trade
GROUP BY 1
)
SELECT
DISTINCT folio.stock_symbol,
avg_pps,
pmin,
pmax,
percentile_cont(.25) WITHIN group (ORDER BY share_price) OVER (PARTITION BY stock_symbol) AS Q1,
percentile_cont(.5) WITHIN group (ORDER BY share_price) OVER (PARTITION BY stock_symbol) AS median,
percentile_cont(.75) WITHIN group (ORDER BY share_price) OVER (PARTITION BY stock_symbol) AS Q3
FROM folio
JOIN AggCalcs ON (folio.stock_symbol = ACsymb)
ORDER BY folio.stock_symbol
LIMIT 5; /* Remove LIMIT to see full result*/
+--------------+-----------------+---------+---------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| stock_symbol | avg_pps         | pmin    | pmax    | Q1          | median      | Q3          |
+--------------+-----------------+---------+---------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| AABA         | 90.104679207921 | 86.7900 | 93.5923 | 88.89430000 | 90.02250000 | 91.32900000 |
