From a performance perspective, does it matter in what order a number of clauses are specified ? For example if many records satisfy ConditionA but few records satisfy ConditionB, is it better to put ConditionB first ?
SELECT Fields FROM Table WHERE ConditionA and ConditionB
or
SELECT Fields FROM Table WHERE ConditionB and ConditionA

After some research I thought I had found a neat way to SELECT records from a table based on an 'IN' clause and sort them in the same order as the values for the 'IN' clause... i.e.
Code:
SELECT Unique_No, Table_Name, List_Order FROM My_Table
WHERE Table_Name = 'Titles'
AND List_Order IN (3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2)
ORDER BY INSTR('3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2', List_Order)
Unfortunately, this returns list_order 5 just after 15 and list_order 2 just after 12, thus
List_Order
3
1
15
5
4
12

Hi
I have a problem with an Order By Clause.
Basically, my database holds records of sites in the UK, and I have a select query (qry_SumGIS3) that opens up a summary report (rptSumGIS3) when a button is clicked on the menu page. The report opens perfectly, showing me all the information I need to know about all the sites in my database. However, it is ignoring the Order By Clause I have specifically told it to do. I want to order the records that appear in the report by a calculated field (OBJ_WS_OVERALL_CALC) in descending order (highest to lowest percentage). Instead, it is ordering it by the site id (RTP_ID). How can I stop it doing this?
This is my code (that was created in the SQL view of the query design):
"SELECT MEASURE1.OBJ_WS_OVERALL_CALC, [Tab 1: Factual].RTP_ID, OBJECTIVES.OBJ_ID, OBJECTIVES.OBJ_NAME, MEASURE1.MEASURE_ID, MEASURE.MEASURE_NAME, MEASURE1.MEASURE_SCORE, MEASURE1.MEASURE_WEIGHT
FROM [Tab 1: Factual] INNER JOIN (OBJECTIVES INNER JOIN (MEASURE1 INNER JOIN MEASURE ON MEASURE1.MEASURE_ID = MEASURE.MEASURE_ID) ON OBJECTIVES.OBJ_ID = MEASURE.OBJ_ID) ON [Tab 1: Factual].RTP_ID = MEASURE1.RTP_ID
ORDER BY MEASURE1.OBJ_WS_OVERALL_CALC;"
The red line is the part of the code that I think is being ignored.
Anyone that can help me is a lifesaver!
I am working on a commercial website that is using ASP and an access database.
I have a pretty elaborate select statement that works, except for part of the ORDER clause.
Here is the scenario.... my client sells automotive parts...
Table 1: (itemsku) holds part numbers
Table 2: (itemveh) holds vehicles that work with those parts along with some descriptive clarification (cab size, bed size, years, ...)
Table 3: (make) holds the vehicles make name (ford, chevy, ...)
Table 4: (model) holds the vehicles model name (F150, Ram, Silverado...)
I need to get a list of parts and their approriate descriptions and sort it by Make, Model, Specific Description, and year.
Ideally, it should look like this:
Chevy: Silverado, Longbed, 2007-2008
Chevy: Silverado, Longbed, 1999-2006
Chevy: Silverado, Shortbed, 2007-2008
Chevy: Silverado, Shortbed, 1999-2006
Ford: F150, Longbed, 2004-2008
Ford: F150, Longbed, 1997-2003
Ford, F150, Shortbed, 2004-2008
My select statement reads as follows (spaced out for readability):
select
itemsku.id, itemsku.item_id, itemsku.sku, itemsku.desc_sku,
itemveh.yr_beg,itemveh.yr_end,itemveh.desc_veh,
model.name as modelname,
make.name as makename
from
((itemsku left join itemveh on itemsku.id=itemveh.itemsku_id)
left join model on itemveh.model_id = model.id)
left join make on model.make_id=make.id
where itemsku.item_id=4
order by
make.name,model.name,itemsku.desc_sku
If I put it as listed, all sorts properly, except for the years. As soon as I add to the end of the order by....
, itemsku.yr_beg desc
Then, the desc_sku portion does NOT sort properly, but the years do. I have tried dropping the desc as well to see if that would help, but the desc_sku does not play into the sort factor if the yr_beg is added.
Am I missing something or is their a limit as to the number of fields in an ORDER?
Thanks ahead of time....
Pete
Can someone please tell me if it is possible to pass in a parameter for the sorting field to a stored procedure in MS Access.
When I tried to execute a query similar to below, neither did the query give me an error nor did it execute correctly.
PARAMETERS ORDERBY_FIELD as Text;
Select * from Employees Order By ORDERBY_FIELD;
It will be great if someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
I have a Report that uses a query as it's record source. I have the query ordered by a field, which works as expected in the table view of the query. In the report, however, the ORDER BY clause does not seem to carry through. The field is not sorted Ascending. What's going on?

I've been trying to work up a where clause that is generated by a button click event on a report. The workflow that i'm trying to obtain is as follows:
1) A report is run to determine the remaining work orders that need to be processed.
2) A button that is placed on that report is to be clicked, taking the user to the form associated with that work order, so it can be processed.
What i've been able to do so far is capture the unique ID for the work order and then print that in a message box. I can then open the form.
What i haven't been able to accomplish thus far is to open the form to the correct work order.
Things I've tried : I started trying to use the macro with the search for record option and using the where clause. Not successful. I am a little more comfortable in using vba so i switched to that pretty quickly.
Code:
Private Sub btnJobEntry_Click()
'GOAL: open the work order form to the correct entry
'METHOD: store the uniqueID to a variable, then use that in the open command's where clause
Dim strJobID As String
'store the unique ID in the variable
[Code] ....
I've put the strJobID variable in both the filter and where clause sections of the DoCmd but it just opens the form to the first entry. I'm fairly confident i'm not applying the filter/where clause correctly by using the incorrect syntax.
apply my situation / formula to others who had similar questions, but I get the #error output with no messages from access telling me what I did to cause this.
What I'm trying to do is create a formula that checks if two conditions are met, then applies an output. So I have a starting location [StartLocation] and [Stop2]...Both can be a small variety of locations.
Currently I have as follows:
Leg1: iif([StartLocation]="Location A" AND [Stop2]="Location B",500,0)
The formula would run longer in the end, going up to 10 stops, nesting the ifs and checking multiple locations for each stop.
Both my conditions are Text, and I want a number output depending on the location. Is it a simple error I'm looking past and missing? Or is what I'm trying not possible, I feel like it should be relatively easy. Access give me no trouble for save and running, but it outputs #error.
I have the following query. I got an error when I ran it.
Code:
SELECT COUNT([encounter_number] WHERE status = 'Death')/ COUNT([encounter_number]) AS Death Ratio, tbl_test.facility_type AS Type,
FROM tbl_test
GROUP BY tbl_test.facility_type;
I think the problem is that first WHERE clause inside.
I have a parameter query with a totals row that displays averages. Is there a way to have the average row use only specific records in its calculation based on one of the field's values WHILE still displaying all the records returned by the query.I want only data that has a "YES" value used in the average while still displaying the records marked as "NO"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a query that outputs the minimum "Need Year" AND ALSO if the need year was equal to 9999 it shows "NO DATA".
This is what I have so far for checking the minimum value:
field: Need Year: MinofList(PMS_output!pqi_ny,PMS_output!iri_ny,PMS_ output!sdi_ny,pms_output!sai_ny)
I am not sure if I should be putting it in the criteria to check whether this minimum value (need year) equals to 9999 or not and if it does, it says "NO DATA" instead of 9999.
I want to create a calculation query that uses different equations under certain conditions. Here's specifically what I need:
If the "Cost_Category" field is "Full Price" then the query uses the following calculation:
Total_Cost: Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost]))
If the "Cost_Category" field is "BOCES" then the query uses the following calculation:
Total_Cost: Sum(nz([BOCES_Number_of_Participants])*nz([Cost_Per_Person]))
I have successfully created these two queries individually, but combining them doesn't seem to work. Here's what I wrote:
Total_Cost: IIf([Cost_Category]=Full Price,Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost])),
IIf(Cost_Category]=BOCES,Sum(nz([BOCES_Number_of_Participants])*nz([Cost_Per_Person]))
It keeps coming up with errors, saying that I misplaced a comma, parenthesis or quotation. I've tried playing with it, changing the syntax slightly but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a form with 2 cbo. I want query to show all data if nothing has been selected, or show specific data to whatever has been selected in cbo1 AND/OR cbo2.My query was working ok for couple of days and then stopped. I don't know why, as no changes has been made.
if both cbo are blank then it works OR if both cbo have a selected value then it works, ok. But it doesn't if one of the cbo has a value and the other one hasn't.
Code:
WHERE (dAreaFK=Forms!F_MainMenu.cboStatsArea
AND dShiftFK=Forms!F_MainMenu.cboStatsShift)
OR (Forms!F_MainMenu!cboStatsArea IS NULL
AND Forms!F_MainMenu!cboStatsShift IS NULL)
I have several queries (crosstabs) which are eventually combined together to form the data for a single report. If I want to date select for this report I need to add a WHERE clause to every query via VBA. This isn't difficult but it set me wondering if there was any way to have one dummy query containing the necessary WHERE statement, and this somehow gets appended to all the other queries, i.e. to filter on date I only need a change in one place.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have a dynamic whereclause to a query?
I.e. one that is generated by a Function?
E.g.
Code:
SELECT a, b, c
FROM MyTable
WHERE GetWhere()
GetWhere will then return a string like 'a > 3 AND b < 3'
I have tested this scenario and it is not working, so maybe there is some work around?
I have a combo box on a form where I allow the user to pick an office. The primary key is the bound column which I then want to use in a stored query to limit the query results to the specific office selected. I can easily do this with the docmd.runSQL in the module, but I'd like to use a stored query instead. My exact problem is I can't get the syntax correct in the Where clause in the query design. I use the build feature and get the following: [Forms]![frmReports]![cboOffice] which doesn't work. If I manually put the key value in the Where clause, it works fine. tell me the correct syntax for the Where clause.

I have a date field NxtAPayDate that I need to update to the same day in the next calendar quarter. I have an update query set up using DATEADD but it does not change the dates. The table name is AutoPay
I am using the Query Design Grid. This is the SQL code behind the query:
UPDATE AutoPay SET AutoPay.NxtAPayDate = DateAdd("q",1,[AutoPay]![NxtAPayDate]);
When I view the results the dates are the same - original dates, when I try to sort the results, I get a message box with the following: syntax error, incomplete query clause?
I cannot get the dates to change by using a specific date either
UPDATE AutoPay SET AutoPay.NxtAPayDate = #1/2/2014#;
I have a SQL query to gather data from a number of tables (balances, accounts, currencies)

SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate], [tblAccounts].[AccountNumber], [tblCurrencies].[Ccy], [tblBalances].[Amount], ([tblBalances].[Amount]*[tblRates].[FXRate]) AS AmountUSD
FROM (([tblBalances] INNER JOIN [tblAccounts] ON [tblBalances].[AccountID]=[tblAccounts].[AccountID]) INNER JOIN [tblCurrencies] ON [tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblCurrencies].[CcyID]) INNER JOIN [tblRates] ON ([tblBalances].[BalanceDate]=[tblRates].[RateDate]) AND ([tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblRates].[CcyID])
WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013#
How do I add 'AmountUSD' to the WHERE clause (such that I can only return records above or below a certain value, for example)
Along the lines of :
Quote:
WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013# AND AmountUSD>1000
I know it's an issue with referring to aggregated functions in the WHERE clause and you're supposed to use HAVING instead
how I can achieve this in Access
I have a table created in Access- "Master"
FileName Sortorder
ABC_..........4

EFG.ss1................55..........0........11/17/2014
GHI.srs.................15..........5........11/17/2014
Now I require to join these both, the table and the output of the query on the condition where query.fileName like table.fileName.
There is no key in this field. Why I need this because the table has the sort order which the user can change when needed, if I put the sort order in the query then each time there is a change then the query needs to updated which the user can go wrong. Also the filename in the query has date associated which changes every day so I need to pick the unique part of the file name and associate it with the query to get the output from query and sort order from the table.
Required Output:
FileName RowCount Exception RunDate SortOrder
EFG.ss1...............55............0.......11/17/2014...........1
CDE_11172014.....23...........10......11/17/2014......... 2
