Thanks in advance, Tomas.
Has anyone any suggestions how I might find the most recent of a series of dates from different tables? I am joining tables which all have a date_altered field and I am only interested in displaying the most recent of these. Eg.
select a.x,b.y,c.z, a.date_altered, b.date_altered, c.date_altered
from a inner join b on (a.id=b,id) inner join c on (b.id=c.id)
What I would like is in effect a function Highest() Eg.
select a.x,b.y,c.z, highest(a.date_altered, b.date_altered, c.date_altered) as last_alteration
from a inner join b on (a.id=b,id) inner join c on (b.id=c.id)
I am using SQL Server 7 so cannot write myself a function to achieve this - frustrating, as it is something I could have done 4 years ago when I used mostly Oracle.
Many thanks
Idea here is to output results of a stored proc to a text file..
I am trying to use this query to execute a stored proc which in turn accepts 3 parameters. Can some one help me as I am getting syntax errors when I try this way:
EXEC sp_querytofile 'MyDB', "exec sp_myproc ''11/03/04'', ''ABK'', ''TFC'", 'c:sp_myproc_out.txt'
I tried different combination of quotes but couldn't make it work! Any one to help?

how can you store a financial year in sql 2005
Do we have any builtin functions in SQL Server for certain financial calculations. For eg., like the PV, FV functions in VB
If not, how else do we achieve this thru' a SQL Server stored procedure?
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi everybody,
Does anyone have financial functions to be run in SQL Server 2000? For example, future value, interest rate, payments, and so on. Or where can I find them on Internet?
Thanks in advance

I'm running into 'CLS-compliance' problems trying to use characters such as "+" and "-" as reporting fields. For example, Standard and Poors ratings have these characters to indicate a notch between main letter rating categories. I have reports that need to display distributions of these various ratings in column charts. However, the X axis labels refuse to print because of these characters!
Any suggestions? This is an awfully common type of labelling in this business!
Thanks
How can I select data between a financial year. The financial year begin in july(7) and end in june(6).
Lets say I want all data between the begining of financial year (7) to January (1)
so I would select all data between 7 and 1. (6 months period)
and lets say I want all data between the beginning of financial year(7) to october (10) so I would just select all data between 7 and 10. (3 months period).
Below is data from a customer table.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table which can be downloaded from the link below. The table contains property Market Rent and period the new rent is applicable. I need to generate a report with parameter ( year and month) so when the user inputs year and month the associated market rent amount for that month is listed.
For example if the 1st market rent update was done in June 2014 ( $300) and the 2nd in Dec 2014 $(350), the property market rent from June to Nov should be $300 and from Dec 2014 till the next rent update $350. So if user inputs year 2014 and month August, the amount is $300 and if the user enters the year 2015 and month March amount is $350

I have a table with 3 fields: Contract_No, Start_Date, End_Date. I need to calculate how many of the days between the Start and End dates fall within each financial year (FY) beginning 1st April and ending 31st March.
So for example if the Contract Start_Date is 26/01/2012 and the End_Date is 20/05/2012 or is null then the number of days for 2012 FY is 49 (counting from 01/04/2012 to 20/05/2012).
If the End_Date is null for the same contract, then the number of days for 2012 FY would be 365.
Since the contract period from Start_Date to End_Date might span more than one or even several FY I need to be able to show this in columns seperately for each FY. What is the best way of achieving this?
I'm trying to create a query to return Open, Close, Max and Min Price for each 1 minute interval. Source data has two fields - Price, and Datestamp at 5 second intervals.
I can calculate the Max and Min (below) and set the datestamp to the middle of the interval, but get stuck on how to also return the Open and Close price for each interval.
SELECT MAX(price) AS MaxPrice, MIN(price) AS MinPrice,
DATEADD(ss, 30, DATEADD(n,DATEDIFF n, '1/1/2006', DateStamp),'1/1/2006')) AS DateStamp
FROM MasterData
GROUP BY DATEDIFF(n, '1/1/2006',DateStamp)
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
I am using RS 2K5 to develop financial reports, with plenty of figures that must fit in a page.
I use tables for example. Fonts cannot be set smaller than 8pts.
I have also tried to decrease row height and to disable the "can grow to fit content" option, but of course in this way the text gets cut of in its lower part.
How can I do lines more compact? I need to reduce line spacing and to make the data more dense. Currently it looks very sparse.
Is it a known limitation for RS? Any workaround available? Any online example with dense reports?
Thank you.
EDIT: Please skip over this and go to the 2nd post. After writing this, I realized it may be too complicated to comprehend, so I tried to simplify with another example which is found in the 2nd post. Or if you want you can read this one and try to understand it.
I would like to go over a design we came up with to handle a certain reporting requirement from an OLAP cube to see if this is a good approach. Also, I would like to hear about other designs that we can consider.
Here is the condensed version of the requirement.
We are measuring the performance of a bunch of portfolios. So among other dimensions, we have a portfolio dimension that holds the list of portfolios we are tracking. In a typical portfolio analysis, an analyst almost always looks at a portfolio's measures along side a benchmark portfolio's measures. A benchmark is another portfolio against which a selected portfolio is compared. So, for a given portfolio, there is a determined benchmark portfolio.
For example, an analyst might want to look at a measure called Annual_Yield for a portfolio called Portfolio_A. There will be an attribute on the member Portfolio_A that tells us what its benchark portfolio is. That attribute will basically be another member from the portfolio dimension. So, as a function of what an analyst chooses as the first portfolio (the subject portfolio), the cube should be smart enought to know what to select as the second portfolio (the benchmark portfolio).
To implement this, I am proposing the following structure for the table that will create the portfolio dimension.
PortfolioID, PortfolioName, Attr1, Attr2, ..., AttrN, BenchMarkID
1, Portfolio_A, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
2, Porfolio_B, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
3, Portfolio_C, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
4, Portfolio_D, blah, blah, ...., blah, 3
5, Portfolio_E, blah, blah, ...., blah, 6
6, Portfolio_F, blah, blah, ...., blah, null
So, the above data says that Portfolios A, B, and D uses Portfolio C as their benchmarks. And Portfolio E uses Portfolio F as its benchmark. Lastly, if a portfolio is used as a benchmark for other portfolios, then its BenchmarkID is null, meaning it doesn't get compared to anything, thus Portfolios C and F have null BenchmarkIDs. With this data, I would create a hierarchy in the portfolio dimension that has two levels. At the top level, there will be a portfolio and if that portfolio has a benchmark, then it will drill down to it.
With a portfolio dimension designed as such, I envision a fact table that looks like the following.
PortfolioID, SomeOtherDimIDs,....., Annual_Yield
1, , blah, ,....., 10%
2, , blah, ,....., 7%
3, , blah, ,....., 0%
4, , blah, ,....., 15%
5, , blah, ,....., 20%
6, , blah, ,....., 9%
So, going back to the original report which was looking at Annual_Yield by Portfolio_A, I would do an MDX statement such as
With Set [PortfolioAndBenchmark] As
DESCEDANTS(Portfolio_A)
Select
[Annual_Yield], [PortfolioAndBenchmark] On Columns,
Whatever Other Dimension On Rows
From
[Cube]
Does this make sense? The only concern I have is that I don't want the measures to aggregate along the portfolio hierarchy.
I need some help devising my tables.
I have a company table and a address table. I have created a linked table with two foreign keys from the company table and the address table respectively.
This set up allows me to apply more than one address per company which is fine. My problem is that I need a way to prevent a company from entering exactly the same address twice.
In the address table i have the following fields:
AddressKey - PK
CompanyKey - FK
Address 1 - 3
Town
County
Country
PostCode
In the company table I have the following fields.
CompanyKey - PK
FirstName
Secondname
And finally in the link table I have the following:
CompanyKey - FK
AddressKey - FK.
Now, if i entered the following into the address table Assuming that company id of 1 was already entered into the company table.
AddressKey - 1, CompanyKey = 1, Address1 = 11 Address2= Taylor
I need a way of preventing this from happening.
AddressKey - 2, CompanyKey = 1, Address1 = 11 Address2= Taylor
As can be seen the PK - FK values are unique and are correct for referential integrity, but the actual address is the same.
Any help we be mostly appreciated.
Cheers

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe deal with multiple vendors who provide us information via text/xml files. Vendor A may provide financial data, vendor b provides litigation data, vendor c provides ratings data. Our current structure has databases for each vendor with its own company table which basically makes all this data disconnected. Of course each vendor has its own proprietary company id to make records unique.
All of the data is based on companies so the grain of data would be at a company level. I would like to be able to link this information together by creating a dimensional model that has a single company table (DimCompany) and has facts populated based on the type of data we receive. Would this be the right sequence of events?
1. My initial load (historical) would have to look at all these data sources and create one company record in my DimCompany table. This table would then link to all other fact tables to provide a single view of company info. I would imagine this would have to be a fuzzy lookup since one company will be in all sources.
2. On subsequent loads (incremental) I would probably have to do a lookup of companies in the dimension via the proprietary code and add if the company wasn't there.
Any advice on tackling this issue would be greatly appreciated especially if SSIS was used in the process.

Lets just say that I have really only logged into phpmyadmin once and messed up my forum.
What I was trying to do? Install a shoutbox (chatroom type software).
When I logged into phpmyadmin I clicked the phpbb_config tab on the left hand side. Then I clicked the SQL tab and pasted the code required for the shoutbox accordingly and hit the "Go" button. But what I did next is what created problems.
I thought I may have put extra spaces or loaded the code wrong in the SQL area because the shoutbox did not work properly after everything was installed. So while in phpmyadmin and after clicking phpbb_config agian, instead of hitting SQL, I hit the "Empty" button thinking that I could just erase what I had previously inserted and then try inserting it again to make sure the code was inserted properly.
If you havn't figured it out by now, I clearly don't have a clue what I am doing, what exactly I did, or what I can do to fix it.

I need to create a table which holds date information for our financial year.
I have all the dates between now and 2045 and the start of the week and the end of the week. What I also have is the first sunday of the previous week in the spreadsheet too.
Please see below attachment
What I need to autofill once I import these three dates into a database is the week and the month.
The difficulty surrounding the month is that, we start a new month on the FIRST Sunday of the month.
So dates 07/04/14 to 04/05/2014 would be month 1.
Month 2 would begin on 05/05/2014 as it is the day after the first Sunday of the month, and so on....Month 5 would start on the 04/08/14.
Need to script something that would automatically calculate the week and month for me on the basis on above, if I have the start date, end date and 1st sunday already in a table?

I have a database that allows a client to have multiple addresses, could be a home, business, vacation, etc... I'm trying to deside if I should put the Company Name and Title fileds in the tblClientAddresses table or keep it with the tblClient table. We do mailings to clients and if the mail is going to a home address the company and title should be excluded. If I put them in the tblClients table I really have no way of knowing if we are mailing to a home or a company. If i put the company and title with the address it makes sence that this would solve the issue.
Looking for any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you,

It runs on an evaluation edition of SQL Server 2000(our intention is, when it launches, we earn the money to buy a copy beforethe evaluation expires).We have been testing Andromeda Online, and found that saves to the databasetake about 10 seconds (we were anticipating less than 1). We felt we needsomebody experienced in optimizing sql databases to help us optimize thedatabase, and get it running in the best method for our particularapplication.Our program accesses the database in Java, and people with understanding inhow to optimize java connections would be a tremendous help.My company is small, and we honestly cant afford much.
