We have a table of batches containing some articles (see Puzzle n°03).
We now want to aggregate these batches into groups with an as equal as possible number of articles without spliting the batches.
With the following test case:
DROP TABLE batches PURGE;
CREATE TABLE batches (batch_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, avail_qty INTEGER NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (1, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (2, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (3, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (4, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (5, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (6, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (7, 1);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (8, 2);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (9, 3);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (10, 4);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (11, 4);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (12, 4);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (13, 5);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (14, 5);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (15, 13);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (16, 20);
INSERT INTO batches VALUES (17, 20);
COMMIT;
If we want to aggregate into 3, 4 or 5 groups we must have something like (quantities are given and not batch_id):
SQL> DEFINE groups=3
SQL> /
GROUP QUANTITIES TOTAL
---------- --------------- ----------
1 20,4,3,1,1 29
2 20,4,2,1,1,1 29
3 13,5,5,4,1 28
SQL> DEFINE groups=4
SQL> /
GROUP QUANTITIES TOTAL
---------- --------------- ----------
1 20,1,1 22
2 20,1,1 22
3 13,4,3,1 21
4 5,5,4,4,2,1 21
SQL> DEFINE groups=5
SQL> /
GROUP QUANTITIES TOTAL
---------- --------------- ----------
1 20 20
2 20 20
3 13,1,1,1 16
4 5,4,4,1,1 15
5 5,4,3,2,1 15
The displayed ouput here is just to show the result it is not mandatory, you can display it as you want.
Enjoy!
Regards
Michel

The SQL solution for this puzzles is based on my SQL Query for the "Bin FITING" problem
http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/Bin_Fitting.html
The restriction of this SQL solution is that we must predetermine
the number of groups. So this SQL is not flexiable at all. We can consider it as a prelimary try of this puzzle.
SELECT bucket_name AS GROUPS,
trim(BOTH ','FROM regexp_replace(XMLAgg(
XMLElement(X,avail_qty) ORDER BY avail_qty desc),'<X>|</X><X>|</X>',',')) AS QUANTITIES,
SUM(avail_qty) TOTAL
FROM
(SELECT batch_id , avail_qty , bucket_name, rn, bucket_1, bucket_2, bucket_3
FROM
(SELECT batch_id , avail_qty , count(*) OVER ( ) counter,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY avail_qty desc) rn FROM batches)
MODEL
DIMENSION BY (rn)
MEASURES (batch_id , avail_qty , 0 it, counter,
CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) bucket_name, CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) min_tmp,
CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) bucket_1, CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) bucket_2,
CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) bucket_3, CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) pbucket_1,
CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) pbucket_2, CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) pbucket_3
)
RULES ITERATE (100000)
UNTIL (ITERATION_NUMBER>= counter[1])
(
pbucket_1[2] = CASE WHEN it[ITERATION_NUMBER] = 0 THEN 0 END ,
pbucket_2[2] = CASE WHEN it[ITERATION_NUMBER] = 0 THEN 0.00001 END ,
pbucket_3[2] = CASE WHEN it[ITERATION_NUMBER] = 0 THEN 0.00002 END ,
min_tmp[1] = least(sum(pbucket_1)[ANY], sum(pbucket_2)[ANY], sum(pbucket_3)[ANY]) ,
bucket_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = CASE WHEN sum(pbucket_1)[ANY] = min_tmp[1]
THEN avail_qty [ITERATION_NUMBER] END,
bucket_2[ITERATION_NUMBER] = CASE WHEN sum(pbucket_2)[ANY] = min_tmp[1]
THEN avail_qty [ITERATION_NUMBER] END,
bucket_3[ITERATION_NUMBER] = CASE WHEN sum(pbucket_3)[ANY] = min_tmp[1]
THEN avail_qty [ITERATION_NUMBER] END,
bucket_name[ITERATION_NUMBER] =CASE WHEN sum(pbucket_1)[ANY] = min_tmp[1] THEN 1
WHEN sum(pbucket_2)[ANY] = min_tmp[1] THEN 2
WHEN sum(pbucket_3)[ANY] = min_tmp[1] THEN 3
END,
pbucket_1[1] = sum(bucket_1)[ANY],
pbucket_2[1] = sum(bucket_2)[ANY],
pbucket_3[1] = sum(bucket_3)[ANY],
it[ITERATION_NUMBER] = ITERATION_NUMBER
)
)
WHERE batch_id IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY bucket_name;
GROUPS QUANTITIES TOTAL
--------- --------------- ----------
1 20,4,3,1,1 29
2 20,4,2,1,1,1 29
3 13,5,5,4,1,1 29
SQL> spool off;
