I have a table with two columns: OID and Cumulative (witch is the same type as OID)
Each OID can have one or more Cumulatives.
Example of data:
OID Cumulative
167 292
167 294
167 296
168 292
169 302
169 304
The cumulation of each OID don't stop at one cumulation, but can be endless (theoretical).
Example: 167->292->590
So the table would have on more row:
OID Cumulative
295 505
I would like to represent this strucuture in a tree view and I'm looking for a query that could give me a table with this structure:
OID Cumul1 Cumul2 Cuml3 Cuml4 .... Cumuln
in the way I can read the row and have as many child nodes as I have values in the columns. The number of columns depends on the row with most cumulations.
How can I do the query?
Is there a better way as my table with n columns?

I have an SQL script that runs as part of a batch process in order to number line items in timecards. It basically consists of 2 nested cursors with a number increment and update inside the inner cursor. The problem is that it gets stuck (seemingly at random) in a loop (incrementing and updating within the inner cursor) until I get an arithmetic overflow and it just moves on to the next card. I'm new to my job as a dba and the boss is breathing down my neck.....any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Hello group!I am having a problem with simplying my query...I would like to get customers' balance info based on how many monthssince they opened their accounts. The tricky part here is accountsstarting with '28' are treated differently than other accounts, theyare given 3 months grace period. In other words, for all otheraccounts, their month0 balance is the balance of their open_month, andmonth1 balance is the balance after the account is opened 1 month, andso on. But accounts starting with '28' month0 balance would be thebalance after the account is opened 3 months, and month1 balance wouldbe the balance after the account is opened 4 months, and so on.My query below works, but since some customers are more than 10 yearsold (more than 120 months), my query is endless!

I'm having a problem where I'm using a Execute SQL Task to retrieve a dataset and storing that in an object variable. Then on success of that execute sql task I use a foreach loop task to go through the dataset and do 2 tasks inside the foreach loop. When I execute this package I have ~12 records in the dataset however when I get to the foreach loop in the 2nd iteration it keeps repeating it. It acts like it is stuck on the second record (tuple) and never goes on. I'm using an ForEach ADO Enumerator in the foreach. I've even set a breakpoint on each iteration and no task fails in side the foreach loop. I'm completely perplexed why it will iterate to the 2nd record but get stuck there in an endless loop. I've tried this on 2 different computers (with different data values) and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a package which runs fine, when I execute it with my account (e.g. double-click on the .dtsx file and run it).
Now I would like to establish a job, which starts the package. I created first a credential for my Account (which is a domain administrator account also for the box, where SQL Server is running on), then I defined a proxy to this credential.
In the job definition I changed the Run as... to this Proxy (it is a SSIS Proxy) and then I started the job.
Th job does NOT abend, it runs forever! So I have to stop it manually.
In the log I can see as last entry : "operation complete". It stops at a "Execute process task" where I call the bcp utility.
Does anyone has an idea, why a package can run forever?!?!
I created a function to use in a View, works similar to DATEADD but only with my company's Business days Monday-Thursday.
I am running a query but it never ends to run.
This is the function:
USE [RA_dev] GO /****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [Production].[GBDATEADD] Script Date: 4/11/2015 5:58:19 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ...
This is how I am trying to use it in the View:
Production.GBDATEADD(Production.Schedule.START_DATE, Production.Operations_Data_Pool.MFG_DAY - 1) AS SCH_DATE
Table #1 SELECT EID, DATEPART(wk,[Date]) AS Week, MAX([Date]) AS WeekEnding FROM Employee_Hours WHERE ([Date] Between '1/1/04' AND '12/31/04') GROUP BY EID, DATEPART(wk,[Date]) HAVING MAX([Date]) = '1/24/04' --Pay period
Table #2 SELECT EID, DisplayName FROM Employee WHERE (Active=1)
I tried subqueries and temp tables but can't get the results I need. The first query will return the employees who entered their time for the given pay period.
I have the following sql statement: INSERT INTO prg_lvl VALUES ( 'Data Recovery', 'Data Recovery', 7, 'ENG', 0, 16, 'Menu=w_data_recovery_stk;', ( select max(menu_id) + 1 from prg_lvl ), 'K'); that works for Sybase and I wanna make it works for SQL Server.
The problem is the use ot the subquery (select max(menu_id) + 1 from prg_lvl).
Could I use subqueries in SQL Server in general or is there is any other method to overcome this problem
I am very new to SQL Server, working with it in class. I am trying to do procedures involving subqueries using the Northwind database, and am having a rough time.
For instance, I have the following code, which lists all orders for the month of November, 1996:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CompanyName, CAST(Orders.OrderDate AS CHAR (11) )AS OrderDate FROM Customers, Orders WHERE Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID AND OrderDate BETWEEN '11/1/1996' AND '11/30/1996' ;
I have been asked to do the same thing, but using a subquery. I came up with the following:
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers a WHERE EXISTS (SELECT OrderDate FROM Orders b WHERE a.CustomerID = b.CustomerID AND OrderDate BETWEEN '11/1/1996' AND '11/30/1996' ) ;
However, it does not list the Order Date, as I want it to, and the information is not correct (it is missing a few orders from November '97 that should show up. Can someone tell me what I am doing incorrectly?
Please note that I do not need anyone to give me the code, but simply give me an idea of what I am doing incorrectly, or let me know how it can be done, so that I may do it. =-)
Hi all,I've seen mention that you can use nested subqueries down to as manylevels as you like but whenever I run the following:select * from table1where tab1ID in(select tab1ID from table2 where tab2ID in(select tab2ID from Table3 where Tab3ID=N))I get the error "incorrect syntax near the keyword 'where'"Can anyone confirm that sub-subqueries are possible? If so is thesyntax I'm using correct?I'm running SQL 2000 through a Delphi 5 app.RegardsJon

Cananyone help pleaseeee!Cheers, Ash
In this stored procedure, I want to grab all the information for Sales Representatives that made less then 6 visits. I have done that in the subquery. But I also want to be able to display their visits by Dates where any number of visits was made. Meaning, i want to be able to show Everyday where a visit was made, but i only want the records that are less then 6 visits. So I want nulls to show up for the dates where no visits were made. So I can track the people that didnt make visits, on days other made visits (which means they should have visits too)
So basically my report looks like this: 09-10-2007 09-11-2007 09-14-2007 Tom Smith 1 3 4 Janice Cooper 3 5 5 Troy Slater 5 4 2 Kelly Short 4 4 4
When i want it to look like this:
09-10-2007 09-11-2007 09-12-2007 09-13-2007 09-14-2007 Tom Smith 1 3 null null 4 Janice Cooper 3 5 null null 5 Troy Slater 5 4 null null 2 Kelly Short 4 4 null null 4
Its an exception report, so i want to show what was not done , on days that are supposed to have things done, i cant show this, if dates are not displayed before there were no visits less then 6. I want to display all relevant dates, where any number of visits was mad. But only show the visits that were less then 6.
Here's my stored procedure that already has the less then 6 visits showing. But doesnt always show the dates. What should i do?
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue where I have a select statement that retrieves all employee records from a employee table. In this statement I'm displaying first and last name, titlte and the employees manager id(which is the employees id). What I want is a query that instead of displaying the manager's id, display the manager's name. The query that I'm using below doesn't work. I was hoping that someone could help me out: SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, Extension, (SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees WHERE (ReportsTo = EmployeeID)) AS Reports FROM Employees
Here's the data that I'm using: LastName, First Name Title Extension Reprots To
Davolio Nancy Sales Representative 5467 13
Fuller Andrew Vice President, Sales 3457 0
Leverling Janet Sales Representative 3355 12
When I run this query I get a error saying "Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with Exists"
So I already no this can't be done... but I need a suitable alternative (if one exists) so I don't have to competely re-write this already too huge query. Anyways, in my select I have something like this: sum( case when code in (1,2,3,4) then 0 else 1 end ) as total which has now increase from four static values to a more dynamic format, that being a table with 47 values which may shrink or grow over time. Attempting the following fails: sum( case when code in (select code_id from ExcludedCodes) then 0 else 1 end ) as total because apparently you can't use selects or aggregates within an aggregate. So any ideas on how I can get this working... is there no Array or List type variable I could just substitute in? I've already tried using a Table Variable, but that failed as well. Please keep in mind, this is one line of a very large select containing many other fields and aggregates (on a fair amount of joins) which is used in at least four differerent reporting queries. If there is no quick and easy replacement trick I can do just let me know so I can start re-writing all of them (which is seriously going to make my head hurt).
Hi, I have searched through this forum and haven't found the answer to a problem I am having so I figured I will post it.
My SQL statement:
Select * FROM tblData WHERE LastName= (SELECT tblData.LastName FROM tblData GROUP BY tblData.LastName HAVING (Count(tblData.LastName)>1))"
What I am trying to do: I am trying to make an SQL filter that I can apply to my form in order to only show records with duplicate last names. The sub query returns names that are already in the table. I then compare what is found to be duplicate with the original table in order to just show only the duplicate records. Everything works fine as long as there is only one name thats duplicated.
When there are multiple duplicate names then I run into an error.
When the statement is put into a string and executed in VBA I get this error:
"Run-time error '3021': No current record."
When the statement is put into a query and run against the DB I get this error:
"At most one record can be returned by this subquery"
So yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated. Am I going about this all wrong or am I just forgetting something? Thanks for any help.
I would like to know which of the following query is the fastest:
select * from customers C where exists (select 0 from ORDERS O where C.Name like 'A%' and O.Charged = 1)
select * from customers C where exists (select 0 from ORDERS O where O.Charged = 1) and C.Name like 'A%'
I don't want to use a JOIN clause. I just want to know if there is a difference of efficiency when the condition on C.Name is inside or outside the sub query.
I would like to know which of the following query is the fastest:
select * from customers C where exists (select 0 from ORDERS O where C.Name like 'A%' and O.Charged = 1 and O.Customers_Id = C.Id)
select * from customers C where exists (select 0 from ORDERS O where O.Charged = 1 and O.Customers_Id = C.Id) and C.Name like 'A%'
Because the condition C.Name like 'A%' is inside the sub query, I'm wondering if it will be evaluated for each record of the Orders table. Does anyone know if there is a difference of efficiency when this condition is inside or outside the sub query ?
I have tried this insert comand and it errors out telling me that icannot use subqueries this way. INSERT INTO tblPartLocation(PartLocation, Part)VALUES (999,(SELECT PartID FROM tblParts WHEREPartName = 'test'))how would i insert a value from a query?thanks for any help
I need to build a view that has 4+ columns that are "counts" of relationships with other tables.
for example:
Code Snippet select Name, Description, (select count(*) from PetOwner PO where PO.OwnerId = O.Id) as PetCount from O Owner
I need to add a few more counts to this query, but I'm thinking that is a bad idea since the number of joins is going to get out of control if I need more counts.
I've created a view with all the counts and it works fine.
I want to index the view so the counts aren't calculated everytime the query is run, but I can't index if I use a subquery like this.
In the end I want the result set to have these columns.
Dear experts, Recently i got an error msg looks like this: you cannot use subqueries within a sqldatadpter except the subquery is introduced with EXISTS. Well, actually i was using IN. I know I can revise my query sting to use INNER JOIN or such stuff just to remove the nested queries. But i'm realllllly curious why it's not allowed?? Really appreciate it if some expert can tell me. Thanks in advance

Only scalar expressions are allowed.
I wonder if somebody could give me advice on SQL Server7-specific handling of subqueries and backreferences...
What is a) more efficient, and b) faster:
1. IF (DATEDIFF(minute, ( SELECT tLastHitTime FROM ( SELECT * FROM tblSession WHERE tSessionID = 'abcd1234' ) as sess), getDate()) < 30) SELECT * FROM sess
or:
2. IF (DATEDIFF(minute, ( SELECT tLastHitTime FROM tblSession WHERE tSessionID = 'abcd1234' ) as sess), getDate()) < 30) SELECT * FROM tblSession WHERE tSessionID = 'abcd1234'
In the first example, 2 SELECT statements (line 2 & line 8) refer to derived table by its alias 'sess'. In the 2nd example, both queries are independant, yet identical...
I wonder if SQLServer is "smart" enough to execute identical queries only once, and then reuse the resulset (e.g. derived table), or it requires explicit references (such as alias) in order to do so...
i have a problem, i have a query which does a search based on a parameter, thing is i want to order them according to how relevant the results are such as 5 for beingan exact match, 0 for being no match. using a series of liek statements.
so that the most relevnat results are displayed at the top.
how do i achieve this - im a bit confused about this.
hi there, I have a query that works on sybase and want to make it also works on SQL Server. The problem is that in this query I 'm using a subquery in an aggregate function. It seems that SQL Server unlike Sybase doesn't support the use of subquery in aggregate function. How can I overcome this problem.
To make a long story short, I'm trying to correlate the most inner query (two levels deep) with the most outer one, and it just doesn't work. Is it because the correlation must be back-to-back, without any levels that stand before the two?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, below is the query that does work, but doesn't produce the right results ("QUOTES" gives the same number for all records):
---------------
select printersGlobal.company, (select count(*) from (select subBidding.bid_company from bidding as subBidding where subBidding.bid_company = 'Printing Company 1' group by subBidding.bid_company, subBidding.project) group by subBidding.bid_company) as QUOTES,
count(date_picked) as wins
from printers as printersGlobal
left outer join bidding as biddingGlobal on printersGlobal.company = biddingGlobal.bid_company group by printersGlobal.company order by printersGlobal.company asc
----------------------
When I replace 'Printing Company 1' with printersGlobal.company (to correlate and produce dynamic and correct results), I get errors.
I would appreciate if anybody can point me in the right direction.
Hopefully someone can suggest a better solution than what I'm currently hobbling along with.
Basically, I've got a table that gets rows inserted (with a timestamp) whenever there is a change to one of the values of a particular "item". So, what I want is to return a dataset of the latest values of each particular item.
I'm guessing that what I'm trying to acheive is doable in some elegant and performant fashion. Something maybe involving a ROLLUP or WITH CUBE or some FANCY item.
But for the time being, I've got a less-elegant query that returns the correct data, just using subqueries.
-- JUST DISPLAY THE TABLE FOR EXAMPLE SELECT * FROM @actionHistoryTable
-- THIS ROLLS-UP THE LATEST VALUE FOR EACH ACTION_TYPE FOR EACH ITEMID SELECT aht.itemID ,( SELECT TOP 1 aht2.actionValue FROM @actionHistoryTable aht2 WHERE aht.itemID = aht2.itemID AND aht2.actionType = '1' ORDER BY aht2.actionTime DESC ) as 'latest type 1 value' ,( SELECT TOP 1 aht2.actionValue FROM @actionHistoryTable aht2 WHERE aht.itemID = aht2.itemID AND aht2.actionType = '2' ORDER BY aht2.actionTime DESC ) as 'latest type 2 value' ,( SELECT TOP 1 aht2.actionValue FROM @actionHistoryTable aht2 WHERE aht.itemID = aht2.itemID AND aht2.actionType = '3' ORDER BY aht2.actionTime DESC ) as 'latest type 3 value' FROM @actionHistoryTable aht GROUP BY aht.itemID
I have an existing query, which runs pretty good. However, I need to create a new report, in which I would require to alter the existing query to return two values from each of the subqueries back to the main query.
The following is the current query:
SELECT tbLogTimeValues.DateTimeStamp as DateTimeStamp ,tbLogTimeValues.FloatVALUE AS Value FROM tbLogTimeValues
[Code] ....
Need putting together a query that returns two values from the first sub query (DateTimeStampTemperature and ValueTemperature) and from the second query return (DateTimeStampHumidity and ValueHumidity).
I would simply have to change the Path LIKE '%' + 'Temperature Interval%' within the humidity subquery to read:
Path LIKE '%' + 'Humidity Interval%'
Obviously, I would like to keep the DateTimeStamp comparisons as part of the main query, as the customer has access to this via parameters, and should be the same for both subqueries.
