I am having a bit of a problem over here. I am trying to consolidate dates from multiple records into a time line that has no date overlap. I'll give you an example to make things clear.
Let's say I have 3 data records:
RowID BeginDate EndDate Price ($)
----------------------------------------------------
1 01/01/2008 01/10/2008 1.00
2 01/05/2008 01/15/2008 2.00
3 12/20/2007 02/01/2008 1.50
The result I would like to see should look like this:
12/20/2007 - 12/31/2007 the price was 1.50
01/01/2008 - 01/10/2008 the price was 2.50 because row 1 and 3 overlap.
01/05/2008 - 01/15/2008 the price was 3.50 because row 2 and 3 overlap.
01/16/2008 - 02/01/2008 the price was 1.50 because of the row 3.
Any idea on how I can automate generation of this data?
I have a lot of code written for that but I can't get the result I want.
I don't know if someone wants to see my code, I got around 500 lines of it.
I have a table (thanks to r937 and others) that list the 3 closest stores to each customer. I now want to take this data and 'group by' the customer so it shows only one record with the 3 closest stores in separate fields within the record. I am still new with SQL so if this is not possible or extremely easy, i apologize. Thanks in advance.
I'm using a query to see how many times an action was recorded on a person. The query works, it returns this:
John Smith 1 John Smith 1 John Smith 1 Jane Doh 1 Jane Doh 1 Al Johnson 1
but I need it to return totals like this
John Smith 3 Jane Doh 2 Al Johnson 1
This is the query I am using:
Select Player.First_Name, Player.Last_Name, COUNT(Action.Employee_ID) from Player INNER JOIN PlayerVisit on PlayerVisit.Player_ID = Player.Player_ID join Treatment on Treatment.Visit_ID = PlayerVisit.Visit_ID join Action on Treatment.Action_ID = Action.Action_ID group by Player.First_Name, Player.Last_Name, Action.Employee_Id;
In many of my packages I have to translate an organizational code into a surrogate key. The method for translating is rather convoluted and involves a few lookup tables. (For example, lookup in the OrgKey table. If there is a match, use that key; if not, do a lookup of the first 5 characters in the BUKey table. If there is a match, use that key; if not, do a lookup of the first 2 characters... You get the idea.)
Since many of my packages use this same logic, I would like to consolidate it all into one custom transformation. I assume I can do this with a script transform, but then I'd lose all the caching built into the lookup transforms.
Should I just bite the bullet, and copy and paste the whole Rube Goldberg contraption of cascading lookup transforms into each package? Or is there a better solution I'm overlooking?
I was messing around with stored procedures and I was wondering if creating a SP that populates a single table for reporting is a good idea?
I have ~10 queries that I have to currently run manually and was hoping to drop them into a physical table and then leverage that single table to pull into excel.
Some of my queries use virtual tables or CTE's, this is to get the aggregate set correctly.
Essentially I am working out of a data warehouse and would like to eventually get all my queries in one SP or something similar and then call that query for a insert.
Speaking of which could you create a SP that has several selects than with that output drops the records into a single table by using an insert into query so the data from the all the queries would line up into the right columns?
I have two tables a stock table and a price table and I want to select the correct price for the Stock Date.
Problem is sometimes there is a promotion date in the price table between the live dates so the rows double up. Below is my sql but I get over 17,000 rows when it should be about 16,964.
I will post up the table and data.
SELECT a.[Company] ,a.[ProductID] ,a.[ColourSize] ,a.[StockDate] ,a.[Quantity] ,b.[Ticket Price] FROM[Stock_Ledger] a LEFT OUTER JOIN [Product_Prices] b ON a.[Company] = b.[Company] AND a.[ProductID] = b.[ProductID] AND a.[ColourSize] = b.[ColourSize] AND a.[StockDate] BETWEEN b.[StartDate] AND b.[EndDate] ORDER BY a.[StockDate],a.[ProductID],a.[ColourSize]
I have a table that holds pay rate changes with a field for the rate start date and a field for the rate end date. When an employee gets given a new pay rate, the existing rate is given an end date and a new row is added with the rate start date being the day following the end date of the old pay rate.
I need to identify the staff who have had a rate change within the past month, therefore an end date on one row that is within one month of the current month, and a start date on another row that is one day after an end date on a separate row and within one month of the current month.
For displaying data on the report I am using the following query
SELECT ReferenceNumber, ActivityID, ActivityTimeStamp, ActivityType, ActivityPerformedBy FROM ActivityDetails ORDER BY ReferenceNumber, ActivityID
The result set is
Issue Reference #
Activity ID
Activity Date/Time
Activity Type

On the report I have used the grouped by clause on 'Issue Reference #'. I want one more column which would calculate the difference between two consecutive Activity Date/Time of the same reference #.
e.g. Time difference between 4521404 and 4521405, 4521405 and 4521406, 4521406 and 4521473 etc. Please note that the difference between 4521412 and 4522575 will NOT be calculated since they are from different Reference Numbers.
I have a table named Orders and this table has two relevant fields: CustomerId and OrderDate. I am trying to construct a query that will give me the difference, in days, between each customer's order so that the results would be something like: (using Northwind as the example)
At the moment, I have the following query that I think is on the right track: €¦ SELECT dbo.Orders.CustomerID, dbo.Orders.OrderDate AS LowDate, Orders_1.OrderDate AS HighDate, DATEDIFF([day], dbo.Orders.OrderDate, Orders_1.OrderDate) AS Difference FROM dbo.Orders INNER JOIN dbo.Orders Orders_1 ON dbo.Orders.CustomerID = Orders_1.CustomerID AND dbo.Orders.OrderDate < Orders_1.OrderDate GROUP BY dbo.Orders.CustomerID, dbo.Orders.OrderDate, Orders_1.OrderDate, DATEDIFF([day], dbo.Orders.OrderDate, Orders_1.OrderDate) ORDER BY dbo.Orders.CustomerID, dbo.Orders.OrderDate, Orders_1.OrderDate €¦
So, do any of you have any ideas how I might achieve this? I know how to do it using a stored procedure, but I am trying to avoid that; I€™d like to do this in a single query.
Hello, I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row: user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3 For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer): user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3 How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row Thanx,Danny.
I'm hoping that someone can help. This is my first time posting and fortunately I can normally find what I need but this time I am stumped.
I have a query that produces a date range. The problem is I want to insert or at lease display the dates between even if they don't show up in table. Here's the problem.
My intial query is select date_of_call from call_data where date_of_call >= '2001-09-01' and date_of_call <= '2001-09-15' order by date_of_call
When I do a group by and count it looks like this: select date_of_call, count(date_of_call) as Count_Date_of_Call from call_data where date_of_call >= '2001-09-01' and date_of_call <= '2001-09-15' group by date_of_call order by date_of_call
If you notice out of 15 days it only shows 5 days. I am wondering how I can insert the days missing and insert either null or 0 values in the count column so it would look something like this:
I am in the process of creating a Report, and in this, i need ONLY the row groups (Parents and Child).I have a Parent group field called "Dept", and its corresponding field is MacID.I cannot create a child group or Column group (because that's not what i want).I am then inserting rows below MacID, and then i toggle the other rows to MacID and MacID to Dept.
I have been looking for the answer to this for a while, but probably haven't found the right place or query. I want to achieve the following:Table 1Table 2 DateShiftDateShiftData --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1/1/200711/1/20072Some data 1/1/200721/2/20073Some more data 1/1/20073 1/2/20071 1/1/20072 1/1/20073
and generate: Table 3 DateShiftData -------------------------------------------------------- 1/1/20071NULL 1/1/20072Some data 1/1/20073NULL 1/2/20071NULL 1/1/20072NULL 1/1/20073Some more data
This way, the information can be displayed and show that some of the entries were not entered for the dates with NULL. Thanks for the help, -Syn
I have a dataset that contains an EmployeeID, StartDate, EndDate, and Location. Each record tells me at which location and employee was during a payroll period (fortnightly). So the data looks like:
Employees can be at multiple locations during the two weeks. They can work at one location, stop working there, start working somewhere else, and then maybe go back to their old location. There are duplicate records here as each employee can be at the same location multiple times during the two week period. What I need to capture is the actual start and end date of an employee at each location for each 'assignment'. An assignment is defined as a continual period of employment at a location with gaps of no less than 4 days - if there is a gap of more than four days then that is classed as a new assignment.
I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1]( [BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL, [PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part | 1 | RAM 2 | Disk Drive 10| CPU 11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive| ---------------------------------------------- A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item SELECT SYSTEM PART FROM System Info WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
I need help figuring out how to consolidate duplicate records. For example We have a termed client same info until you get to the number of live because they are different. How can I take a both these lines and have them combined. There are other clients that are dups too. Please help if you can.

What I need to be able to find is any records where the Discontinue_Date is greater than the Effective_Date on the next row for a given Customer ID and Part_ID. This is a customer pricing table so the Discontinue_Date of row 53 for example should never be greater than the Effective_Date of row 54130, these are the records I'm looking to find. So I'm looking for a SELECT query that would look for any records where this is true. Obviously the last Discontinue_Date row for a Customer_ID will not have a next row so I wouldn't want to return that.
I have an Parent table (Parentid, LastName, FirstName) and Kids table (Parentid, KidName, Age, Grade, Gender, KidTypeID) , each parent will have multiple kids, I need the result as below:
I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem. I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment! Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns. I have to read and manipulate each row. I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work. One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this. Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation? As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me! Thanks in advance!
I have a field called 'LOG_COMMENTS' in a table named T_PRODUCTION_WORK_LOG.
In the 'LOG_COMMENTS' whenever a request is placed on hold comments are added by the application, such as 'Status changed from Open to On Hold' and 'Status changed from On Hold to Open' along with a 'LOG_DATESTAMP' field. A request can go on and off Hold multiple times, how do I determine the days a request is On Hold?
I know I can use the sql function DATEDIFF ( datepart , startdate , enddate ), but how do I account for the possiblity that the request was On Hold more than once? And how would I get LOG_DATESTAMP' times for 'LOG_COMMENTS' that contain 'Status changed from Open to On Hold' and 'Status changed from On Hold to Open''?
I am about to move 8 SQL 2000 clusters instances residing on 2 seperate MCS clusters (4 instances each with 2 nodes each active/passive) to one single MCS cluster (2 nodes active/passive). The SQL Cluster VMs will have the same DNS names and IPs, however the MCS VM and nodes will have different names.
The planned method for moving the DBs is just to stop all SQL services copy the system and user MDF and LDF files and then restart SQL. From everything I have read this should be fine. However here are my concerns on a cluster platform:
Will the change in node names on the target cluster be a problem when moving the master DBs over from source SQL VMs? Are the cluster nodes listed somewhere in the Master DB?
A couple of the SQL instance VMs are invovled in transactional replication. If all of the SQL files are copied over and the target VM has the same DNS and IP name, will there be a problem with the transactional replication when SQL is restarted?
I have some groups set up in a matrix that basically group by transaction names. I am trying to consolidate all but one into the same group. Right now I have the expression of...
this consolidates the aggregate results and group fine but it does not label the groups as expected. "Name Search" comes up as "Name Search" but instead instead of "Logon Function", It displays the rolled up group as the name of the fist group field. Is there a way to make an alias inside of an expression?
And I would like to produce the following outcome to the same table (using update statement): As what you all observe, it merge all overlapping dates based on same promotion ID by taking the minimum start date and maximum end date. Only the first row of overlapping date is updated to the desired value and the flag value change to 1. For other overlapping value, it will be set to NULL and the flag becomes 2.
The second part that I would like to acheive is based on the first table as well. However, this time I would like to merge the date which results in the minimum start date and End Date of the last overlapping rows. Since the End date of the last overlapping rows of promotion ID 1 is row with ID 4 with End Date 2015-05-29, the table will result as follow after update.
