I am doing some SELECT queries on my database through ASP, but for example, I only want to return the 50 most recent entries that match the criteria. Is there any easy way to limit the number of results returned?
hello, i have a stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, CommentingDate FROM Comm WHERE PictureID = @PictureID ORDER BY CommentingDate DESC witch shows me the users who commented a Picture with PictureID = x I need to add two rows at that stored procedure, one to show the number of total comments at that picutre (like counting the number of rows returned) and the second to show count the DISTINCT users who commented that picture I tryied with COUNT but i have to use GROUP BY and i don't think this is good... I hope you understand... please help me, thanks
If I just use a simple select statement, I find that I have 8286 records within a specified date range.
If I use the select statement to pull records that were created from 5pm and later and then add it to another select statement with records created before 5pm, I get a different count: 7521 + 756 = 8277
Is there something I am doing incorrectly in the following sql?
DECLARE @startdate date = '03-06-2015' DECLARE @enddate date = '10-31-2015' DECLARE @afterTime time = '17:00' SELECT General_Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) as General FROM Unidata.CrumsTicket ct
The following query returns a value of 0 for the unit percent when I do a count/subquery count. Is there a way to get the percent count using a subquery? Another section of the query using the sum() works.
Here is a test code snippet:
--Test Count/Count subquery
declare @Date datetime
set @date = '8/15/2007'
select -- count returns unit data Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) as PTCnt, -- count returns total for all units
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date) as TotalCnt, -- attempting to calculate the percent by PTCnt/TotalCnt returns 0 (Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) /
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date)) as AUPct -- main select
from tblVGD1_Master m
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v on m.SlotNum_ID = v.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m.Denom_ID <> 9
and v.Act = 1 and m.Active = 1 and v.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v.MnyPlyd = v.MnyWon and v.ActWin = 0)
and v.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date
Hi, I've got what is probably a simple question, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out and it is starting to do my head in . I have the following query:- Select e.intEmployeeID AS ID, e.txtFirstName AS [First Name], e.txtLastName As [Last Name], e.txtMobile As [Mobile], i.txtWorkEmail as from EMPLOYEE AS e INNER JOIN EMPLOYEE_INFORMATION AS i ON i.intEmployeeID = e.intEmployeeID WHERE (((e.blnActive = -1) AND (e.txtFirstName Like '%b%')) OR ((e.blnActive = -1) AND (e.txtLastName Like '%b%')) ) ORDER By e.txtFirstName In my database, the field blnActive is a BIT field. When I try to run this query, I get no results returned. If I remove the (e.blnActive = -1) WHERE statement segment, I get the correct results. The field blnActive contains -1 for every record but I cannot work out why it will not return these records .... aaarrrrggghhhh Thanks to those who feel my pain !!
Hi,This is a very simple question but I don't have any idea of how to do it.Says I have a table with 50 records. How do I know the number of record have been return by sqldatasource when it execute a SELECT sql statement that contains a WHERE clause. Says the 30 records match the SELECT statement, what code do I have to write in order to display the number 30? Thanks
Hi all,I have a stored procdure which does a select and returns the recordsdirectly -i.e. Not in output parameters e.g:CREATE PROCEDURE up_SelectRecs(@ProductName nvarchar(30)) ASSELECT *FROM MyTableWHERE [Name]=@ProductNameIn another stored procedure I need to do the following:SELECT COUNT(*)FROM MyTableWHERE [Name]=@ProductNameAs the select queries are actually a lot more complex that this, I'drather not duplicate the select code in 2 sp's to save the maintenanceeffort - I'm looking for a way to execute the first procedure from thesecond and just count the records returned - something like:SELECT Count(*)FROM EXEC up_SelectRecs @ProductNameAny way to achieve this?Thanks all--James
Hi all - i'm trying to put together my first .Net web page (have switched from Dreamweaver to VWD - VWD keeps swapping my tab-indents for spaces, and none of the options stop it!).Here's a table that i'm trying to query: ItemID | ReviewRating | ReviewRatingOutOfAs i'm sure you've guessed, it's a reviews table, where there can be several records with the same ItemID and different (or the same) ReviewRating and ReviewRatingOutOf's. As the reviews are collected from lots of sources, the ReviewRatingOutOf will change (one review might be 3/5, while the next, for the same ItemID, could be 8/10, etc). Now, what i'm trying to do is return a list of ItemID's ordered by their RATIO (which is the sum of each ItemID's ReviewRating's divided by the sum of each ItemID's ReviewRatingsOutOf's - in other words, average score). My first guess was this:"SELECT DISTINCT ItemID FROM Reviews ORDER BY SUM(ReviewRating)/SUM(ReviewRatingOutOf)" - unfortunately that doesn't work (problems with the SUM aggregate functions, and overflow errors, whatever they are). Now, this string works: "SELECT ItemID FROM Reviews GROUP BY ItemID ORDER BY SUM(ReviewRating)" - right now, that just adds up the ReviewRatings, so an item with 10 reviews that only got awarded 1/5, 1/10, 1/8, etc (all 1's, therefore achieving a combined ReviewRating of 10 out of a very much higher ReviewRatingOutOf), would appear higher than an item with 1 review that got 5/5. Making the string into this: "SELECT ItemID FROM Reviews GROUP BY ItemID ORDER BY SUM(ReviewRating)/SUM(ReviewRatingOutOf)" (which is what I need), unfortunately gives me errors...Anyone have any ideas? Is there possibly a way to simply read all the distinct ItemID's with SQL, then get the two SUM's for each ItemID, then calculate the ratio of the two SUM's, and stick the ItemID's and the ratio into some sort of array, and have C# order the array for me, based on the ratio? I'd appreciate an example of that if possible, as i'm a complete C# beginner :-)Thanks in advance!
I am getting the following results from my query that contains a subquery, but I don't understand why the values in the [Total Volume M_Active_Previous] are being repeated with the same value. I should be getting different values returned for each row like in the [Total Volume M_Active] column.
Why the values are all the same and how I can fix this?
Hello, I am having problems with this query below: 1 SELECT Table1.Email AS Email, 2 Table2.UserName AS Username, 3 Table3.Members_Paid AS Paid, 4 (SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(*) 5 FROM Table3 AS e JOIN Table3 AS m 6 ON e.Members_Sponsor = m.Members_ID 7 WHERE (e.Members_Sponsor = m.Members_ID)) AS TotalRecords 8 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN 9 Table2 ON Table1.UserId = Table2.UserId INNER JOIN 10 Table3 ON Table2.UserId = Table3.UserID 11 WHERE (Table3.Members_Sponsor = @UserId)Basicly what I am trying to do is get all members that belong to a certain manager along with those members count total of members they have below them.The code above is giving me the count of the first member only, not different counts for each member.Hope you understand what I am trying to say and do here. Hope someone can help me out cause this hase been driving me crazy for a few days now.
I have to write a query to get the count() of the customer who has max sales in the last 6 months.my query is
Select Inv_Cust,Count(Inv_Cust) as Salescount From Inv_Header Group By Inv_Cust,Inv_Date Having Inv_Date Between MIN(Inv_Date) And DATEADD(MM,6,min(Inv_Date)) which gives me a result like inv_cust ' Salescount
I am trying to pull results from an SQL Server DB into an dataset where a particular field (SMALLDATETIME) is within a particular date range. The code I was using worked fine when the database was in Access. I have made several changes already but am still getting 0 results returned when there is data that should be returned.
I was using in Access: Dim StrSQL = "SELECT ID FROM myTable WHERE myDateField>=#" & startDate & "# AND myDateField<=#" & stopDate & "# ORDER BY ID" I have changed this for SQL Server to: Dim StrSQL = "SELECT ID FROM myTable WHERE myDateField>='01/01/2003 00:00:01' AND myDateField<='01/01/2004 23:59:59' ORDER BY ID" But I am always returned 0 results even if the date range should return plenty of data. I have also tried using the BETWEEN structure with the same result.
Is there a particular format for the date I am comparing with? Am I missing something else in my query?
The connection / permissions and everything else are correct as I can read and write data to the database in numerous other pages. It is just this date comparison that is not working.
Many thanks for any help or comments you can provide.
When I set the SecondOperand to /* the output is a concatenated text string of DeviceID and UserID values. I'm trying to get just the DeviceID but perhaps my understanding of XPath syntax is wrong. I've tried setting the SecondOperand to the following:
I have two tables A and B, A has 8000 and B has 8122 records. I want to see what records are missing. I tried EXCEPT and it returned zero rows. I used where non exists also still no records.
when I execute the line: reader = comm.ExecuteReader(); Is there a way to get a count of the number of records returned (the query is a SELECT with no count in it)? I want to vary the display of the results set based on the number of records returned. For example if no records are returned I want it to display nothing, if one, I want the header to be in the singular, but if more than one record is returned, I want it to display the header in plural form. Here is my code snippet with further explanation of what I am trying to do:int Inumber = 0;foreach (string item in menuHeaders) {string title = menuHeaders[Inumber]; sp.Value = menuHeaders[Inumber]; Inumber++; conn.Open();reader = comm.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); //Get the culture property of the thread.CultureInfo cultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture; //Create TextInfo object.TextInfo textInfo = cultureInfo.TextInfo; // WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO....... Here I would like to wrap this with an if statement, if Records returned by the reader are 0, skip while loop and header display // If one, then display in singular and if 2 add an s to the title. Convert to title case and display.content.Text += "<H3>" + textInfo.ToTitleCase(title) + "</H3>";while (reader.Read()) { content.Text += "<a href='" + reader["website"] + "'>" + reader["f_name"] + reader["l_name"] + "</a>"+ ", " +reader["organization"]+"<br />"; } //Close the connection. reader.Close(); conn.Close(); }
I want to select data from a table with 5.000.000 rows. It's very slowly. Do you now, how I can select only a XY number of rows? I can't use TOP in select query. User see only 20-30 rows on his page, but he can use page_up, page_down. Is possible to something as lazy load?
I have a report that calls a stored procedure. I want to display the number of records that the stored procedure returned. I can't seem to find an expression that will do this. Is there an expression that will display the record count for a dataset?
Stored Procedure ProblemThis is probably a simple problem but i would appreciate some help.I have a stored procedure that takes the order date time plus other information fromvarious tables but the information is being returned double:ie 4 rows are being returned instead of two.

Hi, I need to write a select query that will run all returned results through a separate stored procedure before returning them to me. Something like.... SELECT TOP 10 userid,url,first name FROM USERS ORDER by NEWID() ......and run all the selected userids through a stored procedure like..... CREATE PROCEDURE AddUserToLog (@UserID int ) AS INSERT INTO SelectedUsers (UserID,SelectedOn) VALUES (@UserID,getdate()) Can anyone help me to get these working togethsr in the same qurey?
I have a query that uses a CTE which looks similar to this
WITH cte_Products AS (SELECT SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ProductName ASC) AS RowNum, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY id DESC) AS rank, FROM Products WHERE SomeColumn = @SomeVariable) SELECT rownum, columns, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cte_Product) AS TotalRowCount FROM cte_Product AS products WHERE Rank <= @LastXItems AND RowNum BETWEEN (@StartRowIndex + 1) and (@StartRowIndex + @MaximumRows) ORDER BY RowNum
The (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cte_Product) AS TotalRowCount is in there because I need the total row count that is queried by the CTE. But I feel like this is an inefficient way of doing this. I would just split out the query for the total row count, but then I have to do another sub query to get the rank again since rank is calculated using the Rank method. Does anyone have any ideas of how best to do this?
I have a query that returns results based on information in several tables. The problem I am having is that is there are no records in the one table it doesn't return any information at all. This table may not have any information initially for the employees so I need to show results whether or not there is anything in this one table. Here is my select statement: SELECT employee.emp_id, DATEDIFF(mm, employee.emp_begin_accrual, GETDATE()) * employee.emp_accrual_rate - (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken FROM request) AS daysleft, employee.emp_lname + ', ' + employee.emp_fname + ' ' + employee.emp_minitial + '.' AS emp_name, department.department_name, location.location_name FROM employee INNER JOIN request AS request_1 ON employee.emp_id = request_1.emp_id INNER JOIN department ON employee.emp_department = department.department_id INNER JOIN location ON department.department_location = location.location_id GROUP BY employee.emp_id, employee.emp_begin_accrual, employee.emp_accrual_rate, employee.emp_fname, employee.emp_minitial, employee.emp_lname, department.department_name, location.location_name ORDER BY location.location_name, department.department_name, employee.emp_lname
The section below is the part that may or may not contain information: SELECT (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken FROM request) AS daysleft
So I need it to return results whether this sub query has results or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA
Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.
