Creating Rows Based On Date Range From Another Table
Aug 20, 2006
I wish to build a table based on values from another table.
I need to populate a table between two dates from another table. Using
the START_DT and END_DT, create records between those dates.
I need a new column that is the days between the date and the MID_DT
The data I wish to end with would look something like this:
CREATE TABLE "dbo"."tblDates"
("PERIOD" CHAR(6) NOT NULL,
"START_DT" DATETIME NULL,
"MID_DT" DATETIME NULL,
"END_DT" DATETIME NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200505',2005-04-12,2005-07-05,2005-09-12)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200602',2005-07-06,2005-10-03,2005-12-18)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200603',2005-10-04,2006-01-17,2006-03-27)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200604',2006-01-18,2006-04-10,2006-06-19)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200605',2006-04-11,2006-07-04,2006-09-11)
INSERT INTO tblDates VALUES('200702',2006-07-05,2006-10-02,2006-12-18)
I would like to update the flag of the promotion ID should the promotion ID date range overlap with Promotion ID(All) Date Range. The general logic is as below.
Update TableName SET PromotionID Flag = 1 AND Reason = 'Overlap with row ID(Overlap row ID number)' Where EACH ROW(Except with Promotion ID ALL) Date Range Overlap with ROW(with promotion ID ALL) Date range
I have a QA Deployment Date field that is being returned in a custom report I created. I also found a sample date range parameter:
What I want to accomplish:
I want to select a From and To Date and filter the report to only display the rows that have the QA Deployment Date within the selected range.
For example.. I want to select From Date (8/1/2105) and To Date (8/31/2015) and I only want to return only the results that have a QA Deployment date between that selected range.
I have a table in which each record has a initial date and a final date. I would like to create I query that gives me one row for each month between the initial date and the final date. It would be something like this:
I would like to do that, because these dates correspond to the time in which the products are in possession of sellers, so I would to use this resulting query to generate a pivot chart in Excel to illustrate the value of the goods that are with our sellers in each month.
Is it possible to do it? I think I could do that direct in VBA, but I think that maybe it would be faster if I could do it directly in SQL.
By the way, I am using MS SQL Server and SQL Server Manegement Studio 2012.
Ok, I have two parameters - @StartDate and @EndDate. We only care about the date part of these paramters. What I would like to do is create a table with one record for each date between these two values. For example:
@StartDate = '01/01/2008' @EndDate = '01/8/2008'
Should yield a table with 9 records in it for every day between @StartDate and @EndDate like so:
I know I could just do a WHILE (@StartDate <= @EndDate) loop and insert records into a temp table but I'm looking to see if there are any new methods/techniques to achieve this with a more simple statement.
I currently have a For Each File container that loops through all files from a specific directory. The files have a naming convention that looks like this;
CDNSC.CDNSC.SC00015.01012007
The last segment of the file name is the date of the data in the file (mmddyyyy). The create date for these files is always a day later than indicated in the file name.
What I would like to do is to have more control over the 'range' of files that are looped through by using the date portion of the file name to define what group of files should be looped through. Ideally, I would like to have a 'StartDate' variable and an 'EndDate' variable that I could define at run time for the package, and the package would loop through all of the files where the date portion of the file name fell between 'StartDate' and 'EndDate'.
I have a 7 million line table named SecurityID with the following data: Date, Security, Identifier1, Identifier2, Identifier3
I am trying to reduce it to a table newSecurityID in the following form: FromDate, ToDate, SecurityId, Identifier1, Identifier2, Identifier3
This new table will have the first instance for each securityId with the identifying information. New rows will be added If any of the 3 identifying information changes. This isn't as simple as querying for the maximum and minimum value given each distinct group of identifiers because identifiers can change from an initial set and then change back to the initial values.
My plan was to first select all distinct (Security, Identifier1, Identifier2, Identifier3) into a temporary table. Then query the table SecurityID for the minimum date available which matches these 4 fields and find the corresponding maximum value. This doesn't seem to working as I had planned as I am getting one row for each date rather than when identifiers change. Plus its taking a really long time to finish.
Any help will be appreciated!
Here is my code:
select distinct SecurityId, Identifier1, Identifier2, Identifier3 into #DistinctSecurityID from SecurityID
Using SQL Server 2000, I need to perform date range type queries that involve my company's Fiscal Year, which is not the same as the calendar year. My company's Fiscal Year if from Sept 1 to Aug 31, where Aug 31st year determines the Fiscal Year. For example, since today's date is 09/20/2006, the current Fiscal Year is 2007.
An example of a typical query requirement:
Find all the sales figures to-date for the current Fiscal Year. So, a WHERE clause will consist of a date range query from 09/01/2006 to 8/31/2007.
Initially, I created a Function to find the current Fiscal Year based on the current date, by calling the GETDATE() function and passing the results to the following function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnGetFY (@CurrentDatetime datetime) RETURNS int AS BEGIN DECLARE @FY int IF (SELECT MONTH(@CurrentDatetime)) > 8 SET @FY = YEAR(@CurrentDatetime) + 1 ELSE SET @FY = YEAR(@CurrentDatetime) RETURN(@FY) END
So, the view queries that involve the Fiscal Year call the above function.
However, these function calls drag down the VIEW query response time to the point where the time is either unacceptable or an ODBC Timeout occurs, even with Query Analyzer.
Is there a way to create a Global server parameter to hold the current Fiscal Year value, so function calls are not necessary? Or set Fiscal Year date ranges for a database or server system parameter?
Does anyone know of a efficent, response timewise, way to handle Fiscal Year date range queries?
In SQL server I have the column doTableDate set a Datetime.I need extract all rows in on date range and I think use to syntax `Between And`If try this version of query I have in output 889 rows all with date 2014-01-03... but I have other records with date 2014-01-04 in column doTableData...
Code: SELECT * FROM doTable WHERE doTableDate BETWEEN CONVERT (
creating the missing records in a date/time range.
However, I need to return different groups for each span of records.
here's some data....
aaa1 aaa7 bbb2 bbb5 bbb6
The numbers are the hour of the day.
I need to return
aaa 0 0 aaa 1 1 aaa 2 0 aaa 3 0 ... bbb 0 0 bbb 1 0 bbb 2 1 ... and so on.
I've got a numbers table and I can left join with it but I just get nulls for the missing hours instead of having it as above.....I can't think of a way of repeating the groups for each of the 'missing' hours - other than creating a length insert statement to fill in the gaps....unless that is the only way of doing it.
I have 2 tables, one is table A which stores Resources Assign to work for a certain period. The structure is as below
Name StartDate EndDate Tan 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Max 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Alan 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 2015-04-02 00:30:00.000
The table B stores the item process time. The structure is as below
Item ProcessStartDate ProcessEndDate V 2015-04-01 09:30:10.000 2015-04-01 09:34:45.000 Q 2015-04-01 10:39:01.000 2015-04-01 10:41:11.000 W 2015-04-01 11:44:00.000 2015-04-01 11:46:25.000 A 2015-04-01 16:40:10.000 2015-04-01 16:42:45.000 B 2015-04-01 16:43:01.000 2015-04-01 16:45:11.000 C 2015-04-01 16:47:00.000 2015-04-01 16:49:25.000
I need to select the item which process in 2015-04-01 16:40:00 and 2015-04-01 17:30:00. Beside that I need to know how many resource is assigned to process the item in that period of time. I only has the start date is 2015-04-01 16:40:00 and end date is 2015-04-01 17:30:00. How I can select the data from both tables. There is no need for JOIN, just seperate selections.
Another item process time is in 2015-04-01 10:00:00 and 2015-04-04 11:50:59.
The result expected is
Table A
Name StartDate EndDate Alan 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 2015-04-02 00:30:00.000
Table B
Item ProcessStartDate ProcessEndDate A 2015-04-01 16:30:10.000 2015-04-01 16:32:45.000 B 2015-04-01 16:33:01.000 2015-04-01 16:35:11.000 C 2015-04-01 16:37:00.000 2015-04-02 16:39:25.000
Scenario 2 expected result
Table A
Name StartDate EndDate Tan 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Max 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000
SELECT RN_TEST_ID AS 'Test ID', MAX(RN_EXECUTION_DATE) AS 'Last Execution Date', MAX(RN_EXECUTION_TIME) AS 'Execution Time', RN_DURATION AS 'Run Duration' FROM RUN
1. The query should only return one record for each test id
2. The record returned should be the most recent. By most recent I mean the RN_EXECUTION_DATE and RN_EXECUTION_TIME of the returned row should be the most recent in time.
For example, in the sample data there are multiple rows with the same test id (for example 10668 and 10525. The 10525 is even more problematic since its execution date is the same for both rows returned - the execution times differ. Again, I want one record per test id and that record should be the most recent in time.
Hi, I have 1 table with 5 rows. One of the rows has dateTime values. I want to know how many rows there are with a value in that column < today AND how many rows there are with a value in that column > today. I'm not sure how to do this.
SELECT Count(*) WHERE dateColumn <= today AND dateColumn > today gives me everything. I like to end up with a column containing the count of rows <= today and a column with rows where date > today.
Is this possible in SQL or do I have to retrieve all rows and then loop over the resultset and check each row?
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:
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.
Is it possible to show the number of rows and the range for each partition in a table ?
This shows me the range but not the row count per partition
SELECT sprv.value AS [Value], sprv.boundary_id AS [ID] FROM sys.partition_functions AS spf INNER JOIN sys.partition_range_values sprv ON sprv.function_id=spf.function_id WHERE (spf.name=N'myDateRangePF') ORDER BY [ID] ASC
I have a table like the following (with much more data, but the concept is the same) with Dates and Actions for People and a column called Action with beginning Dates and end dates.
(I attached a picture because I could not figure out how to Format it)
begin Date end Date Name
begin 2014-10-15 end 2014-10-31 phil begin 2014-09-18 end 2014-09-30 phil begin 2014-08-21 end 2014-08-23 John
I need the query to be like this. The idea is to have the query grab the next 'END' not all Ends, which my attempts have done i.e. I get not just the closest end to the begin date, but ALL Ends with the same Person.
I Need it to look like this:
begin Date end Date Name
begin 2014-10-15 end 2014-10-31 phil begin 2014-09-18 end 2014-09-30 phil begin 2014-08-21 end 2014-08-23 John
There can be different People so the query Needs to return the beginning and end rows for the Person in sequential order.I can't figure out how to select only the 'next' end. My query always gets 'end' values that have a 'begin'. I
I have several databases to deal with, all with + 250 tables. The databases are not identical and do not conform to a specific naming convention for table names. Most but not all tables have a column called "LastUpdated" containing a date/time (obviously). I'd like to be able to find all rows within a whole database (table by table) where the date/time is greater than a specified date/time.
I'm looking for a reliable query that will return all the rows in each of the tables but without me having to write hundreds of individual scripts "SELECT * FROM [dbo.xyz] WHERE LastUpdated > '2015-01-01 09:00:00:000'", or have to look through each table first to determine which of them has the LastUpdated field.
Hi all, First post on THIS forum...so be kind (I have my nomex suite on anyway, and am flameproof, but STILL!)
I have a table that consists of a bunch-o-gibberish, but essentially looks like this (for the sake of discussion):
PK RecID int PK StartDate smalldatetime PK EndDate smalldatetime Gibberish_1 varchar(zillions and zillions) Gibberish_2 int
OK, my query (get it? *LOL* I kill me) is this:
My PK date range is essentially a range indicating a "validity date range" or in other words - "this record applys to dates from StartDate to EndDate".
If I insert a new row, that I want to be "valid" from today on into the forseeable future. I'm thinking I would enter it with StartDate = today, and would like to figure out a good "MAXDATE" type value to put in the EndDate column so that:
1) I can find a record using a single date (i.e., the current date) and find the validation record (as defined above) - - - I'm not concerned about this part of the question, as I can build the simple query to do so).
2) NOT have to keep adjusting the EndDate to keep it ahead of the current date so that the query into the range will work.
Essentially, my question is this: What is a good value to put in the EndDate to mean "infinity" - - that will still work when I query using a single date designed to find the validation record with a range that includes it?
My boss suggested something like "January 1, 2040", but this bothers me, since my kids may be working here then :lol: and I don't want to have to force them into a Y2K-like issue where they now have to go adjust all the "maxdate" values. Anythoughts or conventions that I am unaware of here?
If you have a table that has records which are applicable over a date range, is there a preferred design for dealing with the dates?
A simple example might be an employee table, which might have multiple employees, with each employee have multiple records, each record being applicable over a particular date range.
For instance:
Code: EmpID EmployeeName StartDate EndDate AdditionalFieldsOfData 00001 Jones, Jerry 4/6/2011 8/10/2011 00001 Jones, Jerry 8/11/2011 1/7/2012 00001 Jones, Jerry 1/8/2011 12/31/3000 00002 Fredricks, Fred 8/3/2011 10/15/2011 00002 Fredricks, Fred 10/16/2011 12/31/3000
One could model this table with an implied EndDate (of 12/31/3000), as in:
Code: EmpID EmployeeName StartDate AdditionalFieldsOfData 00001 Jones, Jerry 4/6/2011 00001 Jones, Jerry 8/11/2011 00001 Jones, Jerry 1/8/2011 00002 Fredricks, Fred 8/3/2011 00002 Fredricks, Fred 10/16/2011
Or, one could imply the beginning date and store the first record's beginning date elsewhere, in a date hired table, or in additional field on each record. As in:
Code: EmpID EmployeeName EndDate HireDate AdditionalFieldsOfData 00001 Jones, Jerry 8/10/2011 4/6/2011 00001 Jones, Jerry 1/7/2012 4/6/2011 00001 Jones, Jerry 12/31/3000 4/6/2011 00002 Fredricks, Fred 10/15/2011 8/3/2011 00002 Fredricks, Fred 12/31/3000 8/3/2011
I have a table with EmployeeID, StartDate, and EndDate with a PK of EmployeeID, StartDate. How can I check to see that there's no overlap for StartDate and EndDate for a given employee? That is, on any given day there must only be 1 row for an employee where Getdate() is Between StartDate and EndDate. For an active employee their EndDate is set to 06/06/2079.
I've tried it using Row_Number() with Over() but am returning too many rows indicating overlap when none exists.
I have 2 tables that I need to merge let me explain. I have a range of product ID's that have a product grouping of * meaning all product groups. So I have a table with products and one with around 100 groups
ProdID ProdGrp -------- --------- 11 * 12 *
ProdGrp ProdGrpDesc --------- --------------- A Prod Group A B Prod Group B C Prod Group C
I need a table which looks like the below but I have no joining mechanism
ProdID ProdGrp -------- --------- 11 A 11 B 11 C 12 A 12 B 12 C

I need Insert rows in the OrderDetails Table based on values in the Orders Table
In the Orders table i have a columns called OrderID and ISale. In the OrdersDetails i have columns called OrderID and SaleType
For each value in the OrderID Column of the Orders Table, anytime the ISale Column in the Orders table = 1, and the SalesType column in the OrderDetails table is empty, I want to add two rows in the OrderDetails table. One row with the value K and another row with the value KD. That is a row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be K, also a second row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be KD
Also for each value in the OrderID Column of the Orders Table, anytime the ISale Column in the Orders table = 0, and the SalesType column in the OrderDetails table is empty, I want to add two rows in the OrderDetails table. One row with the value Q and another row with the value QD That is a row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be Q, also a second row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be QD.
So my data column [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is defined as a DATE column. I am trying to SELECT from my table where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is today's date.
Is this not working because GETDATE() is like a timestamp format? How can I get this to work to return those rows where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is equal to today's date?
Hi,I wish to create new rows of data based on a source table. Example: Ihave a file that contains a SESSION (time roughly a calendar quarterfor a University), START_DT, END_DT.I want to create rows that would be for each session and each day, sofor session 200102 that starts 09/10/2000 and ends 12/15/2000 I want 96rows, with 200102 for Session, and the 96 days in DAY.-- Source table:CREATE TABLE [F___Example_Date] ([SESSION_ID] [numeric](19, 0) NOT NULL ,[START_DT] [datetime] NULL ,[END_DT] [datetime] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]-- Sample data :INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[F___Example_Date]([SESSION_ID],[START_DT], [END_DT])VALUES(200102, '2000-09-10', '2000-12-15')INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[F___Example_Date]([SESSION_ID],[START_DT], [END_DT])VALUES(200103, '2001-01-04', '2001-03-26')-- Example Target file to be populated:CREATE TABLE [Target_Date] ([SESSION_ID] [numeric](19, 0) NOT NULL ,[Day] [datetime] not null) ON [PRIMARY]GO-- Example of inserts to that represent the desired results (my insertif for illustration only, not intended to be elegant)INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[Target_Date]([SESSION_ID], [Day])VALUES(200102,'2000-09-10')INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[Target_Date]([SESSION_ID], [Day])VALUES(200102,'2000-09-11')INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[Target_Date]([SESSION_ID], [Day])VALUES(200102,'2000-09-12')INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[Target_Date]([SESSION_ID], [Day])VALUES(200102,'2000-09-13')-- <... and so forth for all days between 9/10/2000 and 12/15/2000...>INSERT INTO [DS_V5_Source].[dbo].[Target_Date]([SESSION_ID], [Day])VALUES(200102,'2000-12-15')My need is getting into a new area of my SQL experiance and I'm notsure how to approach solving this problem. I'm confident once I learnhow to solve this, I will be able to do a lot more with SQL.TIARob
