This eliminates the duplicate denominator calculation:
select city_txt,
mode_txt,
(
select total(1)
from employees, citys, modes
where employees.city_id == citys.city_id
and employees.mode_id == modes.mode_id
and citys.city_id == C.city_id
and modes.mode_id == M.mode_id
) / employee_count as percentage
from (
select city_txt,
citys.city_id,
total(1) as employee_count
from employees, citys
where employees.city_id == citys.city_id
group by city_txt
order by city_txt
) as C, modes as M
order by city_txt, mode_txt;
and of course you can wrap it in a classifier if you like:
select city_txt,
sum(case when mode_txt = 'WALKING' then percentage end) as Walking,
sum(case when mode_txt = 'CYCLING' then percentage end) as Cycling,
sum(case when mode_txt = 'PUBLIC TRANSIT' then percentage end) as
"Public Transit",
sum(case when mode_txt = 'CAR' then percentage end) as Car,
sum(case when mode_txt not in ('WALKING', 'CYCLING', 'PUBLIC TRANSIT',
'CAR') then percentage end) as Other
from (
select city_txt,
mode_txt,
(
select total(1)
from employees, citys, modes
where employees.city_id == citys.city_id
and employees.mode_id == modes.mode_id
and citys.city_id == C.city_id
and modes.mode_id == M.mode_id
) / employee_count as percentage
from (
select city_txt,
citys.city_id,
total(1) as employee_count
from employees, citys
where employees.city_id == citys.city_id
group by city_txt
order by city_txt
) as C, modes as M
)
group by city_txt
order by city_txt;
This is "standard SQL" and should work with just about any RDBMS using SQL of
any variation.
