Mary is a teacher in a middle school and she has a table seat
storing students' names and their corresponding seat ids.
The column id
is continuous increment.
Mary wants to change seats for the adjacent students.
Can you write a SQL query to output the result for Mary?
+---------+---------+
| id | student |
+---------+---------+
| 1 | Abbot |
| 2 | Doris |
| 3 | Emerson |
| 4 | Green |
| 5 | Jeames |
+---------+---------+
For the sample input, the output is:
+---------+---------+
| id | student |
+---------+---------+
| 1 | Doris |
| 2 | Abbot |
| 3 | Green |
| 4 | Emerson |
| 5 | Jeames |
+---------+---------+
Note:
If the number of students is odd, there is no need to change the last one's seat.
Solution:
SELECT a.id as id, IFNULL(b.student,a.student) as student
FROM seat a
LEFT JOIN seat b ON case
when a.id%2=1 then a.id+1=b.id
when a.id%2=0 then a.id-1=b.id
end
ORDER BY a.id
