Pandas - How to find the second (nth) smallest value in a DataFrame In this article, we will explore how to extract the second smallest value from each unique group in a pandas DataFrame. We’ll take a closer look at the groupby method and use it to achieve our goal. Introduction to GroupBy Method The groupby method is used to group a DataFrame by one or more columns, allowing us to perform aggregation operations on each group.

Retrieving Records in Last 24 Hours with Matching Data and Maximum Value In this article, we’ll explore a SQL query that retrieves records from the last 24 hours with matching data and the maximum value. This involves using derived tables to solve the problem. Problem Statement We have a table named notifications with the following structure: CREATE TABLE notifications ( `notification_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `source` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `created_time` datetime NOT NULL, `not_type` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `not_content` longtext NOT NULL, `notifier_version` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, `notification_reason` varchar(245) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`notification_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=50 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; We have inserted some data into the table as shown in the following SQL query:

The problem is that you’re using = instead of < in the XPath expression. The correct XPath expression should be: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = $NAME] should be changed to: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = '0.0000'] Here’s the corrected code: with XML_TABLE as ( select xmltype( q'[&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;ReceiptDesc xmlns="http //www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt; &lt;appt_nbr&gt;0&lt;/appt_nbr&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1232&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;100233127&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;0.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;6.0000&lt;/shipped_qty&gt; &lt;/ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;from_loc&gt;WH&lt;/from_loc&gt; &lt;from_loc_type&gt;W&lt;/from_loc_type&gt; &lt;/Receipt&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1233&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;355532244&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;2.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;2.
