Help With A Simple Query

Oct 1, 2007

I am trying to make a single display page for an author's books.the books page only displays books of a type "type" (novels, non-fiction, etc)I would like to make it so that it can also show all books if "type" isn't selected. I THOUGHT the string would look like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDSBooks" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csK2Reader %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Books] ( If @Type <> "" then WHERE ([Type] = @Type)) ORDER BY [SortDate] DESC"> But it doesn't seem to want to work. I get a "server tag is not well formed" error.

Simple SQL Query -- Perhaps You Can Help

May 28, 2006

I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere. That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help. Here's what's going on:
I have a "Documents" table. Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table. Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships. Let's call that table BD.
When I create a document it creates a row in D. Let's call that D1, D2...DN. When I create a benefit it creates a row in B. Let's call that B1, B2...BN
When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table. Now here's what my challenge is. Suppose I have these entries in my tables:
D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3
Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2
When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1. In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added. How do I write a SQL query to do this?
Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3)
SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL)
Any thoughts?

Simple Query

Jan 7, 2005

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:

Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:

Code:

-----
| ID |
-----
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
------

Would return something like:

Code:

----------------
| ID | Count |
----------------
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
-----------------

This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.

When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.

Simple SQL Query

Sep 19, 2005

Hi folks,

I am a complete newbie to SQL. I have a simple query to make in SQL, but I'm not being able to construct the statement properly. I've already tried googling this info, but with little luck. If someone could help me here, I'd be very thankful.

The problem:

I have a table with a list of questions. All questions have a serial number. The query has to return whether a particular question is the last one in the table or not (according to serial no.)

Logically, this is the query -

Code:

select islast = 0
if count(*) from question where serialno > $serial != 0
else
select islast = 1;

The '$serial' part will get replaced dynamically before query execution through another program.

Any idea how to code this in valid SQL? I would like to make it a simple statement and not a stored procedure. Thanks.

What Should Be A Simple Query

Feb 29, 2008

I'm having a bad day as I just cannot get a query to work and its doing my head in and it should be a simple query.

I'll try and explain what I need.

Have a simple query with one join, this is it so far:

SELECT DISTINCT Replace(StaffName,'''''',' ') AS StaffName,OutReason,OutStartDate
,OutEndDate,OutStartTime,OutEndTime,OutID
FROM vwOutOfOffice
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwStaffList ON OutUser=StaffID
WHERE OutComplete=0

What I'm having trouble with adding to the WHERE is as follows, I need a list of Staff who are out of the office based on the various criteria:

Example
Current date=29/02/2008
Current time=14:00

Start date---End Date----Start Time--End Time--Should Appear
27/02/2008--28/02/2008--09:00------17:00-----No (because of date)
28/02/2008--03/03/2008--08:00------17:00-----Yes
28/02/2008--29/02/2008--17:00------17:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--12:00------14:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--14:30------17:00-----No (because of time)
02/03/2008--02/03/2008--08:00------10:00-----No (because of date)

There may be others I've missed but as long as the dates combined with the times match correctly I need the records to appear.

Please help before I end up putting my head through the monitor.

Hello,

You probably seen this Q before but I have no idea what to search and and therefor any direction would be appreciated.

I have three columns table, two are int and one is datetime (for sorting). I would like to query all values witch are unique within the two integers, however, in some cases data looks like this:
int1 = 1
int2 = 2
and another record like:
int1 = 2
int2 = 1

this pair should be considered as a duplicate and second record should not come with the results set.

Any suggestions?

Help! Should Be A Simple Query

Mar 19, 2008

Hi I've got what should be a simple query but I'm not sure how to write it.

I have a table which holds employee assignments to positions, which holds historical data.

Eg:

ID EmployeeID StartDate PositionID
--- ---------- --------- ----------
1 7663 23/1/2007 234
2 7663 28/6/2007 272
3 7663 1/02/2008 983
4 81212 2/03/2008 2888

Now, what I'm after for each employee is their current position based on the highest "StartDate" for that employee.

So from the above table I want the results:

3 7663 1/02/2008 983
4 81212 2/03/2008 2888

Can anyone help? Do I need a Group By? That clause always confuses me!!!

Thanks!!!!

Simple MAX Query?

Jul 23, 2005

Hi AllI know that I am supposed to submit a schema of my table, but it is a verybasic one so I'll crack straight on with my query.In essence I have a 3 column table called STOCKTRANS, which consists ofSTOCKCODE, TRANSACTIONDATE and TRANSACTIONTYPE.Each time a user orders a stock item I insert the stock code and the datethey ordered it into this table, egSTOCKCODE TRANSACTIONDATE TRANSACTIONTYPEIVP 1-4-04 1STP 31-6-04 8KGC 8-7-04 6IVP 11-8-04 8etc etcetcWhat I want to create is a simple query that informs what the last orderdate was for a stock code. As you can see from the above example, I mayhave hundreds of the same stock code with different dates so I thought thatthe following query would work:select STOCKCODE, MAX(TRANSACTIONDATE) as 'LastOrderDate'from STOCKTRANSwhere STOCKCODE = 'IVP' and TRANSACTIONTYPE in (1,8)But it doesn't.NOTE: the reason for the transaction types of 1 and 8 is because these arethe types I want. The other types are used for credits, returns, etc.First of all the above, brings me back loads of rows when all I want is:IVP 11-8-04 << this being the last date of order for this stock item.Just as a test I removed the STOCKCODE out of the select and found that Idid get my one liner, but for some reason I was only getting the last datefor transaction types 1 only - not the last date for a combination of 1 and8 transactions.Can you help??Many thanksRgds Robbie

A Simple Query

Apr 1, 2008

Hello there, this is my first time here,please tell me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

well I have a table with three columns: nb,date and place; a query like
(select * from table where date<'3/19/2008 11:00:00' and date<>3/19/2008 8:00:00' )
returns:
nbr date place
11 '3/19/2008 08:05:00 aa
11 '3/19/2008 08:06:00 aa
11 '3/19/2008 08:07:00 aa
22 '3/19/2008 08:08:00 ab
22 '3/19/2008 08:09:00 ab
11 '3/19/2008 10:00:00 aa
11 '3/19/2008 10:05:00 aa

My prob is that I don't need all those records: the first three records for me refer to the same object so I want just one of them, same for the 4th and 5th records I just want one, and for the last 2 records, so I need a query that returns

How To Do This Simple Query?

Apr 11, 2008

Hi,
I have two tables with a one to many relation.

Tbl 1 - POs (stands for purchase orders)
Tbl 2 Invoices

Each is linked by a POID which a varchar field. there is one POID which can have none to several Invoices

I need to work a query to work out the total money left outstanding from the PO's.

I thought the easiest way would be to SUM the subtotal field in the POs tbl, and from that minus off the SUM total of the InvoiceSubTotal from the Invoices tbl.

This would give me a figure which is what was left outstanding.. pretty straight forward.

however every attempt I've had so far is not grouping the Invoices together correctly for each PO so I'm getting incorrect totals.

Here's my first attempt:

Code Snippet
SELECT SUM(dbo.Suppliers_POs.SubTotal - dbo.Suppliers_Invoices.InvoiceSubTotal) AS TotalOutstanding
FROM dbo.Suppliers_POs INNER JOIN
dbo.Suppliers_Invoices ON dbo.Suppliers_POs.POID = dbo.Suppliers_Invoices.POID

Although that returned a result it wasn't correct.

What seems to be happening is that for each PO with a matched invoice it gets the SubTotal and then get the InvoiceSubTotal and gets a figure.. if there is another invoice for the same PO.. it does the same thing..

So lets say I have a PO for �50,000

There are three invoices on the system for �10,000 each

(Therefore there is �50,000 on the PO, �30,000 on the invoices.. I should be left with �20,000)

Instead it gets the first invoice.. see the PO for �50,000 and minus' the �10,000 giving �40,000

It then does the same for the other two..

So I get a figure of �120,000!!!

How do I get around this?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer..

I am new to SQL, and I would like to request if someone could provide me with a query that could do a find and replace in a column in MSDE. I have an image path column in a table, the current image path is set to /images/xxxx.gif

I would like to add another folder so the image

path looks like this --> /images/imagesA/xxxx.gif

The problem is i have 4500 records to update, so I cannot do this manually, so my question is can someone provide me with a query that can do this find and replace, i guess in this situation you are finding /images and replacing it with /images/imagesA

Please advise. Thanks.

It would be nice if you can send me this query to my email. My email address is aleemmansoor@hotmail.com

Help On Simple Query

Apr 21, 2008

What is wrong with the following code

declare @today datetime

set @today = getdate()

DECLARE @l_PPA_CONTACT_VALUES_Tbl TABLE(

PARTY_ID NUMERIC(10,0),

CONTACT_VALUES VARCHAR(7000)

)

INSERT INTO @l_PPA_CONTACT_VALUES_Tbl

SELECT PARTY_ID ,CONTACT_VALUES

FROM PEGASUS.PEGASUS_AP_GET_PARTY_CONTACTS_TABLE_FUN(NULL, NULL,0, NULL, 'Business', 'Yes', 1, @today, NULL, 'ACTIVE', 0)

select ppaCon.PARTY_ID,

(SELECT TOP 1 VALUE_TEXT

FROM PEGASUS.PEGASUS_AP_SPLIT_FUN(ppaCon.CONTACT_VALUES, 0)

WHERE VALUE_TEXT LIKE 'Business Phone:'

) OfficePhone

from @l_PPA_CONTACT_VALUES_Tbl ppaCon

right join PEGASUS.PARTY_PAIRS ppa

on ppaCon.PARTY_ID = ppa.PPA_ID

I am getting the following error

Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 15

Line 15: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

and the error is poiting to the portion of code

PEGASUS.PEGASUS_AP_SPLIT_FUN(ppaCon.CONTACT_VALUES, 0)

THanks
