I have a table of product orders. It contains a row for "platform" and I
need to return how many times each platform is listed in the DB
Example data for platform could be:
XBOX
XBOX
XBOX
PLAYSTATION
PLAYSTATION
GAMECUBE
PLAYSTATION
I'd like the data to be returned as
XBOX - 3
PLAYSTATION - 3
GAMECUBE - 1
How would I go about doing this please?
Hi,
I'm trying to include the COUNT(*) value of a sub-query in the results of a parent query. My SQL code is:
SELECT appt.ref, (Case When noteCount > 0 Then 1 Else 0 End) AS notes FROM touchAppointments appt, (SELECT COUNT(*) as noteCount FROM touchNotes WHERE appointment=touchAppointments.ref) note WHERE appt.practitioner=1
This comes up with an error basically saying that 'touchAppointments' isn't valid in the subquery. How can I get this statement to work and return the number of notes that relate to the relevant appointment?
Cheers.
I am trying to get a count of how many times a badge is entered in each hour it appears. In other words, I would like to find out how many times badge 3333 comes up in each hour of the day, the same with badge 4532.
The task at hand is to find out productivity for items processed per hour per badge number. I know I will need to take the hour out of timedate using datepart, but the results do not look right. Would anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!
the table I have looks like this:
IDBadgeOrdNumberTimeDate
6112133333781267941/10/05 9:19
6112084532781275591/10/05 9:21
6111973333781265611/10/05 9:29

Ive got this monster which will give me a parent categoryName and the number of records linked to a child of that category, I want to use it for a directory where the list of categories has the number of records in brackets next to them. Note: a A listing will show up in each category count it is associated with
Like
Accommodation (10)
Real Estate(30)
Automotive(2)
Education(1)....
Select trade_category.iCategory_Name,Listing_category.iPa rentID,count(Listing_category.iCategoryID) as num
from Listing_category,trade_category Where Listing_category.iParentID = trade_category.iCategoryID Group by
Listing_category.iParentID,trade_category.iCategor y_Name
Union ALL
Select Freecategory.sName,Listing_category.iParentID,coun t(Listing_category.iCategoryID) as num
from Listing_category,Freecategory Where Listing_category.iParentID = Freecategory.iFreeID Group by
Listing_category.iParentID,Freecategory.sName
Which Produces
Real Estate12401 12
Extreme Sports3 4
I would Like to get the same query to produce a list of all the empty records too.
so
ID Count
Accommodation 6112 0
Real Estate 12401 12
retail 12402 0
Extreme Sports3 4
Cycling 5 0
I have two tables, one is a list of categories, the other a list of items listed in the categories. The category table is self-referencing through a ParentID column. Top-level categories have ParentID = 0.
Categories========ID intParentID intCatName varchar(30)Items====IDCategoryIDItemID
There is a third table that links to items through ItemID, but this is not important for this problem!
What I want to do is create a stored SQL procedure. This procedure simply pulls rows from the category table and counts the number of items that are in it. This is straighforward enough using COUNT as a "virtual column", but the difficulty is counting the items in the category but also the items in any subcategories.
An end result with two top-level categories and three subcategories in each might look like:
- Category 1 (20)---- Subcategory 1.1 (10)---- Subcategory 1.2 (5)---- Subcategory 1.3 (5)- Category 2 (14)---- Subcategory 2.1 (3)---- Subcategory 2.2 (4)---- Subcategory 2.3 (7)Hence the difficult bit is getting the total number in brackets for each category with subcategories.
What I have at the moment is:
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.CategoryName, Categories.ParentID, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Items WHERE Items.CategoryID = Categories.ID) AS ItemTotalFROM Categories
What I would like is something along the lines of (pseudocode):
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.CategoryName, Categories.ParentID, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Items WHERE <Item is in category or subcategory>) AS ItemTotalFROM Categories
I don't particularly want to use temporary tables and I definitely do not want to do any of this retrieval in my application - it needs to come straight from the database.
Thanks!
Hi,I have 2 tables, Mail_subject and Mail_Usage.Mail_Subject contains the subject, body and some other bits of info.CREATE TABLE [Waterford_MailSubject] ([ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[MailSubject] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATESQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[MailCategory] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATESQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[MailBody] [ntext] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[MailCreateDate] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GOMail_Usage records the amount of times a certain mail was sent.CREATE TABLE [Waterford_MailUsage] ([ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[RepScreenName] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATESQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[MemberScreenName] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATESQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[MailSubject] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATESQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[TimeDate] [smalldatetime] NULL ,) ON [PRIMARY]GOThey are joined by Subject (not my idea, its a DB ive inherited).What i need is to get the Mail Subject and the number of times thatMail was sent. Ive Joined them using an INNER JOIN which gave me acount of the number of times each one occoured except for Mails thathave not been used. I need to get zero as the count of Mails notsent. Ive tried a LEFT OUTER JOIN but it didnt work either.Can someone point out what i need to do ?

I know this question has been asked before but this is a little different and I can't seem to get my head around it right now.
What i have is a table like so:
ID1 ID2 DESC
100 24 something1
100 24 this is a test
100 24
100 25 somethingelse
101 36 something
101 37 something else altogether
What i need is to determine which ID1 value has the same ID2 value listed more than once WITH the description filled in. If there is no description filled in even though the ID2 may be listed twice on one ID1, then it's ok and don't want it displayed in the query.
So, in this case, ID1 of 100 has ID2 24 listed twice with a description on both ID2's (of 24). this is what I need to show up in the query like so:
ID1 ID2 DESC
100 24 something1
100 24 this is a test
Could someone give me a hand with this? I've found similiar problems...but haven't been able to apply those answers to this.
Thx
am making a CV program and i need a way to count the experience the user has:
i have his begin date and end Date as datetime in an sql server.
i can do it programicly but i prefer to do it at the sql side
the question:
how can i get how much exp he has aka :
SUM(DATEDIFF(year , JobApExp.BeginDate , JobApExp.EndDate ))
but for all the datarow
(he has more than one BeginDate and EndDate (for each job he has one))
P.S i want to be able to use it in a where clause :
select * from jobap
where -- or HAVING
JobAp.ind = JobApExp.JobAp AND
SUM(DATEDIFF(year , JobApExp.BeginDate , JobApExp.EndDate )) > CONVERT(int,@Exp)
thanks in advance
Can this be done?
I have a procedure where I have Values and Selected Table items that have to be inserted into a nother table that require them to be stored in the same record to the data correctly placed?
Does anybody knows how to reference a value inside a group in a Matrix.
I know it should be possible to use a calculated field, but I can't find a way to calculate a simple percentage!
example: (The Orders Group have "Received" and "Accepted" columns and these are created Dynamically, and I want to add a calculated field (ie. "%Accepted") to the group.
Simple Formula
%Accepted = "Accepted" / "Received"
i.e.
%Accepted = 5/10 :. (50%)
Matrix Object ( creates columns dinamically)
---------------------------------
Orders "Group"
---------------------------------
Received Accepted %Accepted
10 5 ?
Any Help or Ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a stored procedure that does all the dirty work for me. I'm just having one issue. I need it to run the total number of RECORDS, and I need it to return the total number of new records for TODAY. Here is part of the code:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS TotalCount FROM CounterSELECT COUNT(*) AS TodayCount FROM Counter WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, visitdate) = Year(GetDate()) AND DATEPART(MONTH, visitdate) = Month(GetDate()) AND DATEPART(DAY, visitdate) = Day(GetDate())The statement works great, I just need to return TotalCount and TodayCount in one query. Is this possible?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a simple table on my webpage which shows data from my database.
It all worked fine apart from one part. I wanted the select statement to select only NULL values from a column, as these are classed as open queries. Once I have closed the query a 0 or 1 will automatically be posted and will no longer have a NULL value.
I have a simple select statement (which I will post on here when I log in with my work computer) and at the end I have a WHERE Column = NULL. I have also tried WHERE column <> 0.0 AND column <>1.0 and that did not work.
If I only did WHERE column <> 1.0, i only get the 0.0 results and none of the NULL results, but if I have no WHERE statement I get all the results including the NULL values.

I have a table that contains an identity column. This column is updated in a stored procedure that has a linked trigger that updates another 'backup' table. How can I ensure that the value of the new row added in the table with the identity is passed back to calling client. ?
The value of @@identity is incorrect as it reflects the value in the 'backup table' not the original table. and use select max() on the original table within the stored procedure could be violated by other users attempting the same operation
I have an accounting database which contains data from various years.The frontend is a VB.Net program. At the year end, the program createsnew voucher and transaction tables and creates new stored procedures forthem.I just append the 'new year' at the end and create themie, Vouchers2001, Vouchers2002, Vouchers2003Similarly Transactions2001, Transactions2002.The data for all the years is in the same database.Also, I maintain a table called 'Books' which contains the Years forwhich data is present in the Database. The Structure of the Books tableisBookID BookYear1 20012 20023 20034 2004My Problem is that i need to know the current balance of any ledger forany year. The method to calculate the balance for any year is to startfrom the Minimum year in the Books table and continue upto the requiredyear. The SQL is as follows.DECLARE @iLedgerID AS INT --will be passed as parameterDECLARE @iYear as INT --will be passed as parameterDECLARE @CurrentBalance as MONEYSET @iLedgerID =1DECLARE @MinBook as INTEGERDECLARE @String nVarchar(4000)SELECT @MinBook = Min(BookYear)FROM BooksWHILE @MinBook <= @iYearBEGINSET @String = ' DECLARE @TT Money ' + char(13) +' SELECT @TT = ISNULL( SUM( ISNULL(Debit,0) - ISNULL(Credit,0) ),0 )'+ ' FROM transactions' + CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + ' LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Vouchers' + CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + ' ON dbo.Transactions' +CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + '.VoucherID' + ' = dbo.Vouchers' +CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + '.VoucherID ' +'WHERE (LedgerID = @iLedgerID)'EXEC sp_executesql @String, N'@iLedgerID Int', @iLedgerID */SET @MinBook = @MinBook + 1ENDNow this is just a sample code. It may have a few glitches. My questionisa) Do I have to create a dynamic sql if the name of the database is notknown ahead of time. If No thenb) I need to add the balance of each year to the grand total. How do ireturn a value from a dynamic sql.TIA*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I have a query set that returns values as part of a data set, I need a new one to return values from two queries to a single row.
select '1' as thekey, 'Total Picks' as Tot,sum(prod_qty) as picks from exceed.aseld, exceed.csymh

and aseld.whse_id = 1
and (
(aseld.batch_id between goal_beg_batch and goal_end_batch
and monitor_group = 'YK')
[code]....
is it possible to get the numbers from keys 1 & 2 on the same row in a new query?
Or if it is easier a query that with give me (completed picks/total picks) = a decimal I can feed to the display as a percentage.
I have data that looks like below (columns are Timestamp, Offered, Answered and Delay). I'm looking to exclude returning records that have a value for Delay that are within the top 10% of values of that column. Are there any 2005 tricks where this can be accomplished in a simple statement?

Hi, I just want to know the following.
Is it posible to write a SQL statement that searches all values in a table where the
e.g:
"Jobid = 1" and sort the result set according to the "CategoryID"?
then if you want to display the values, you can populate them according to the "CategoryID"?
and then also write the result set to a "text file", and catagorize everything according to the "categoryID" in the following format???
Category Number: 8 Description: Site
Date Labour Hours Rate Subtotal
10/05/2005 Artisan 20 95.00 1,900.00
10/06/2005 Labourer 7 45 315.00
Category Total 2,215.00
And then after that the next "categoryid"
Thank You, I really hope you understand what I mean.

I am having trouble using Output parameters. I have set up an Execute SQL Task to call a Stored Procedure. I am passing an input parameter and indicating 1 global variable for output to retrieve a unique value from the stored procedure call. When I execute the step, it completes successfully but nothing is returned in my output parameter for the unique value??? Below is the call that I use:
EXEC SYS_GENERATE_ID ?
-in the Execute SQL Task I click the Parameters button to set up the input:
Status = Parameter1
and the Output Variable Type:
Rowset = GUID.
the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SYS_GENERATE_ID
(@Statusvarchar(20),
@GUID uniqueidentifier = NULL OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
SET @GUID = NEWID()
INSERT INTO dbo.ACTIVITY (GUID, STATUS)
VALUES (@GUID, @Status)
SET @GUID = convert(varchar(50), @GUID)
RETURN @@ERROR
END
A table is correctly populated but the GUID value does not make it back to the calling task??? The Global Variable Type under Package Properties has been changed to "Dispatch" and the value is "Not Displayable"???
Any help that is offered will be appreciated GREATLY!!

INNER JOIN ORDERS O ON C.ID = O.ID
INNER JOIN ORDER_LINE OL ON O.ID = OL.ORDER_ID
