Creating SQL Statement That Returns Rows ONLY Between A Certain Date?
Sep 8, 2004
I maintain a simple employment (job) tracking web application.
Jobs can be set to 5 different statuses: Open, Closed, Filled, Pending, or Cancelled.
There is a table in the database called statusLog, which records everytime a job is set to opened, or set to closed, etc. It records the job number, the date it was changed, and what the job was changed to.
Here is a short example of what a few entries might look like:
Status Date Job number
Open10/6/2002 2:34:56 PMTEST2845
Hold10/11/2002 12:19:29 PMTEST2845
Closed10/29/2002 2:00:54 PMTEST2845
Pending10/25/2002 3:37:06 PMTEST2877
What I need to do is write an SQL query that will return to me all entries in this table, between two certain dates, that ONLY have entries during those dates.
Basically I need to know how many "new" jobs were set to open during a month. I can easily just do a count of how many jobs were set to open, but this will not give a count of "new" jobs.
Example: during june a job could be set to open. Then in july it could be set to pending. Then in august, it could be re-opened, and set to open.
If I ran this query for the month of August, it would return that job as being opened in august. But it wasn't a new job, meaning it had already been in the system in previous months.
Is there some way I can select all "Open" jobs, between a certain date, that do not exist anywhere in the table previous to the date it was entered? This would give me a result set containing only new jobs.
The only way I've thought of yet is to get a result set of all jobs simply set to open during a month, then one by one for each record, go back and run another SQL query to see if it exists in the table anywhere other than in that month.
This seems horribly inefficient to me however, as I do not want to be doing 34,000 independent SQL calls for every single "open" job it finds during a certain month.
thanks

Hello All.
I am struggling with the below join block in my stored procedure.
I can't seem to get the duplicate row problem to go away. It seems that SQL is treating each new instance of an email address as reason to create a new row despite the UNIONs.
I understand that if I am using UNION, using DISTINCT is redundant and will not solve the duplicate row problem.
Primary Keys: none of the email address columns are primary keys. Each table has an incrementing ID column that serves
as the primary key.
I am guessing I am encountering this problem because of how
I have structured my Join statements? Is it possible to offer advice without a deeper understanding of my data model or
do you need more information?
Thanks for any tips.
Code:
select emailAddress from Users union
select user_name from PersonalPhotos union
select email_address from EditProfile union
select email_address from SavedSearches union
select distinct email_address from UserPrecedence union
select email_address from LastLogin) drv
Left Join Users tab1 on (drv.emailAddress = tab1.emailAddress)
Inner Join UserPrecedence tab5 on tab5.UserID=tab1.UserID
Left Join PersonalPhotos tab2 on (drv.emailAddress = tab2.user_name)
Left Join LastLogin tab4 on (drv.emailAddress = tab4.email_address)
Left Join EditProfile tab3 on (drv.emailAddress = tab3.email_address)
Left Join SavedSearches tab6 on (drv.emailAddress = tab6.email_address

I am trying to find an easy way to create multiple of just two date in a single sql statement.
E.G.
A statement using the parameters
@StartDate = '2015-01-01'
@EndDate = '2015-01-05'
Ends up with rows:
'2015-01-01'
'2015-01-02'
'2015-01-03'
'2015-01-04'
'2015-01-05'
What would be the best way to do this ?

Here's my statement below. What I'm trying to get is joining the name column in master.sys.databases with a sub query for the database name, file location and backup start date from the MSDB database. The reason for this, if a new database has never been backed up, It should be returning as a NULL value, which is my goal. However, I'm getting multiple results for the backups.
select CONVERT(CHAR(100), SERVERPROPERTY('Servername')) AS Server,a.name,File_Location=b.physical_device_name,backup_start_date=max(backup_start_date)
from master.sys.databases a
left join(select c.database_name,backup_start_date=max(backup_start_date),b.physical_device_name
from msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily b join msdb.dbo.backupset c on c.media_set_id=c.backup_set_id
where c.type='D'

After changing the Service account for a SQL Server 2005 SP2 machine the DMV sys.dm_os_performance_counters
is returning zero rows. These values were availiable prior to change
The change in Service account was done via the Configuration manager and the Service account is also part of the Local Administrator group
Since this change the Performance Counters in Perfmon for SQLSEVERatabases and others are also not availiable
Any suggestions on where to start looking ?

Good day,
I just like to ask if anybody has experienced getting empty rows from SQL data adapter? I'm using SQL Server 2005. Problem is when the sql is run on Query Analyzer it retrieves a number of rows but when used in my application it returns 0 or empty rows.
I thought the connection is not the problem since I got my columns right. Below is my code snippet.
Thanks!
const string COMMAND_TEXT = @"select distinct somefield as matchcode, count(somefield) "
+ "as recordcount from filteredaccount where StateCode = 0 group by somefield having count(somefield) > 1";
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(COMMAND_TEXT, connection);
DataTable dt = new DataTable(sometablename);
adapter.Fill(dt);

Hi everyone:
I guess this should be a simple question but have not been able to find the answer, does anyone know how to make a SQL Sentence to return at least one row when counting?
SELECT COUNT(Id_Field), Field2 FROM Table1 WHERE Code_Field = 1 GROUP BY Field2
This will return 0 rows when the where criteria is not matched by any record on the Table1, but I would like to have one row counting 0 rows, in stead it returns no rows at all.
Thanks for any help.

Hi all,
I am trying to build a association table (t2) to store a list of users
have viewed an item in my records table (t1). My goal is to send the
UserID parameter to the query and return to the user a read / not read
marker from the query so I can handle the read ones differently in my
.net code. The problem is that I cannot work out how to return anything
but the read data to the client. So far my stored proc looks like this
DECLARE @UserID AS Int -- FOR TESTING
SET @UserID = 219 -- FOR TESTING
SELECT t1.strTitle, t1.MemoID, Count(t2.UserID) AS ReadCount,t2.UserID
FROM t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN
t2 ON t1.MemoID = t2.MemoID
WHERE t2.UserID = @UserID
GROUP BY t1.MemoID, t1.strTitle,t2.UserID
It works fine but only returns those records from t1 that are read. I
need to return the records with null values also! I may have built the
assoc table wrong and would really appreciate some pointers on what I
am doing wrong. (assoc table has rID, MemoID and UserID columns)
Please help!
Many thanks

Hi,
I have DB monitoring jobs which use Sysperfinfo to monitor some of the counters. On One SQL 2K Server since few days the select on sysperfinfo returns 0.
Do you think I need to start any service from the OS side to enable this?
Your input is highly apppreciated.
Thanks,:confused:

I have the following query:
select sq.*, p.numero, p.nombre
from paf p right outer join dbo.GetListOfSquaresForShippingLot(@lot) sq on sq.number = p.numero and sq.version = p.numero
The @lot parameter is declared at the top ( declare @lot int; set @lot = 1; ). GetListOfSquaresForShippingLot is a CLR TVF coded in C#. The TVF queries a XML field in the database and returns nodes as rows, and this is completed with information from a table.
If I run a query with the TVF only, it returns data; but if I try to join the TVF with a table, it returns empty, even when I'm expecting matches. I thought the problem was the data from the TVF was been streamed and that's why it could not be joined with the data from the table.
I tried to solve that problem by creating a T-SQL multiline TVF that is supposed to generate a temporary table. This didn't fix the problem.
What can I do? Does anybody know if I can force the TVF to render its data somewhere so the JOIN works? I was thinking a rowset function could help, but I just can't figure out how.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Let me know if you want the code for the CLR TVF. This is the code for the T-SQL TVF:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetTabListOfSquaresForShippingLot]
(
@ShippingLot int
)
RETURNS
@result TABLE
(
Number int, Version int, Position smallint,
SubModel smallint, Quantity smallint,
SquareId nvarchar(5),
ParentSquareId nvarchar(5),
IsSash smallint,
IsGlazingBead smallint,
Width float,
Height float,
GlassNumber smallint,
GlassWidth float,
GlassHeight float
)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @result
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GetListOfSquaresForShippingLot(@ShippingLot)
RETURN
END

We are running the following query, which has a unique index on Table_2 (col1 and sys1), and Column col1 from Table_1 is unique.
select top 100 s.*, x.col1
from Table_1 s
left outer join Table_2 x
on x.col1 = s.col1 and x.sys1 = 'SYSTEM0'
Unfortunately this query returns duplicate rows. And every time the result is different
But once we dbcc dbreindex the unique index on Table_2, the result will not have any dups.
Any ideas?

Without systemAdmin role, xp_AvailableMedia can still run (after granting execute permission) but just return 0 rows.
It seems we have to give the user SystemAdmin role, in order to get the list of devices in SQL 2005, while in previous versions of SQL Server, the user granted the execute permission for xp_AvailableMedia will be able to get the list of devices.
Is this be design? Is there any way the a NON-SA user can retrieve device list? If yes, what extra permissions do we have grant?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm fairly new to SQL, so this might be simple question:
I am adding records to an SQL7 database by using the INSERT statement. The table has an IDENTITY field which is auto-incremented, so a value is not needed for the field in the query.
Is there any parameters for INSERT that returns to me the value of the IDENTITY field for the record I just created?...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have this OR in a simple query:
Code:
DECLARE @searchString nvarchar(100)
SET @searchString = 'sample'
SELECT TOP(1) * FROM user
WHERE (user.identity LIKE @searchString OR
CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ' + user.lastname) > 0)
PS: Handwritten...
If I pass in a searchString that matches the Identity and a different users lastname, this query will return the user with the lastname-match (which is wrong in my eyes, it should have matched the Identity first, then returned that row [Identity is a Primary key, indexed non-clustered]).
I've tried various things:
Removing LastName: (CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ') > 0), then the returned row is from a matching identity, due to the lastname of a user was a match, but lastname was removed...so :P
Flipping the conditions around
Adding/removing paranthesis... without any luck.
Is there some option somewhere, to force the OR statement to return on the first true condition. I've always thought OR-statements (in a computer that is) breaked and returned true on the first true condition it found (from left to right, not bother to check the rest of the conditions...)?Or do I have to rewrite the query, with an IF, checking if the @searchString is a valid identity-format, if it is, query on the identity, if not query on the username...?

I don't understand using a dynamic cursor.
Summary
* The fetch next statement returns multiple rows when using a dynamic cursor on the sys.dm_db_partition_stats.
* As far as I know a fetch-next-statement always returns a single row?
* Using a static cursor works as aspected.
* Works on production OLTP as well as on a local SQL server instance.
Now the Skript to reproduce the whole thing.
create database objects
-- create the partition function
create partition function fnTestPartition01( smallint )
as range right for values ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10 ) ;
[Code]....
Why does the fetch statement return more than 1 row? It returns the whole result of the select-statement. When using a STATIC cursors instead I get the first row of the cursor as I would expect. Selecting a "normal" user table using a dynamic cursor I get the first row only, again as expected.

I have a query that based 2 tables. I wrote a query with a left join on the base table but the result set returns multiple rows for each occurrence in the second table because of the left join. I want but to return all records from on table A and only matching records from table B which id but I would wan tit to keep return them vertically as the because it make it difficult to read when put in a spreadsheet. It want it to return the values horizontally so the rows are not increasing for each occurrence on table b.

I have a simple query that joins a largeish fact table (3 million rows) to a view that returns 120 rows. The SKEY in the view is returned via a scalar function. The view returns instantly if queried on it's own however when joined to the fact table in the simple query below results in a query execution plan that runs forever. Interestingly if I change the INNER JOIN to a LEFT OUTER JOIN the query returns the matched results almost instantly.
Select
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band],
Count(*)
From
Fact.APC_Episodes
Inner Join Dimension.Age_Band ON
Fact.APC_Episodes.AGE_BAND_SKEY = Age_Band.AGE_BAND_SKEY
Group By
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band]
I know joining to a view using a column generated by a scalar function is not a good recipe for performance. I also know that I could fix this by populating a physical table with the view first as I have already tested this though I hoping not to have to go down that route.
Why a LEFT OUTER JOIN works and not an INNER JOIN or anyway I can get the query optimizer to generate an execution plan that works?

If I run this statement in Query Analyzer, it properly returns 1for my testing table. But if I put the statement into a storedprocedure, the stored procedure returns NULL. What am I doingwrong? I suspect it may be related to how I defined the parametersfor the stored procedure. Perhaps my definition of TableName andColumnName don't match what COLUMNPROPERTY and OBJECT_ID expect toreceive, but I don't know where to look for the function declarationsfor those. Any pointers would be appreciated.Select statement:SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Table1'), 'TestID', 'IsIdentity') ASIsIdentityTable definition:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([TestID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Stored Procedure definition:CREATE PROCEDURE spTest(@TableName varchar,@ColumnName varchar)AS SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @ColumnName,'IsIdentity') AS IsIdentity

I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears.
Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
Am I just missing a simple option?
