It has been a while since I have had to write a really advanced query and I was wondering if I could get a little bit of help from someone
find the average monthly earning while you have been an affiliate
affiliate_id, transaction_dt, earnings are the only fields that you have to worry about. I can obviously find the average earnings for a period of a year but, I would like something like
spavgmonthlyearning affiliate_id
any help would be greatly appreciate even a point in the right direction would be fantastic.
I'm trying to find if any part of a date range in my table between orig_start_rent and stop_rent falls within a period I specify in two variables: startPeriod and endPeriod
For example if I specify 2013-11-01 as startPeriod and 2013-11-30 as endPeriod, then if any part of the date range between orig_start_rent and stop_rent(stop-rent can be null if hire is open) falls within that period, I want that to be picked up and assigned the value of 1 in my case statement for OnHire. My code is not picking everything up however - using the example above, a record with orig_start_rent of 2013-05-23 and stop_rent of 2013-11-18 is being assigned 0 when it should be 1. My code here:
declare @startPeriod as smalldatetime declare @endPeriod as smalldatetime set @startPeriod = '2013-11-01' set @endPeriod = '2013-11-30'; select dticket, orig_start_rent, stop_rent, case when orig_start_rent >= @startPeriod and orig_start_rent <= @endPeriod then 1 when orig_start_rent < @endPeriod and stop_rent is null then 1 else 0 end [OnHire] from deltickitem
I'm using an olap cube in a report (dash board). The last "actual" period should be viewed when the user opens the report. I'm using the MDX tail function for that. Once the report is opened the users want to select another period. Then I want to put period as a parameter. But that is not possible since the parameter check box is no longer available when using a MDX filter expression.
I would like to make sure that SQL Server Express is completely free even for public institutions e.g. bailiff office. We (my office) want to use SQL Server Express 2005 at 9 computers for free, is it possible? Can you give me a full answer? Thanks!
Surely not everyone that uses SQL on a shared server has to buy their own copy of SQL Server?
Is there a free utility to copy it from the host to local? I am assuming that SQL management express can not do this (after searching the help for a while... annoying)

Hello, I am 13 years old and trying to create a mmorpg(massively multiplayer online role playing game) and need a database so people can register, buy weapons, kill other people, etc. The only problem is, I only know javascript and html. I was wondring if anyone had free code for MS Server 2000 that users of my game register, and it records the users username, password, etc. Thanks so much,
I'm not sure where to post this question but this place seams to fitt best.
I'm wondering about intellisense's that are free ang good for sql 2005 and 2008. I tried to google it and I tried to search for it in here but didnt find something good. I only find products that aint free and atm that aint an option actually.
So do any of you know some free goog intellisense for sql 2005 and/or 2008?
I am looking for a free ms sql database for my programs, but i don't want to host it on my computer, because my web host does not allow servers to be run and people connecting to thme.
I am trying to concatenate three fields into one in a View. I have the following data: Last Name First Name Middle Initial (can be null)
I need my resultant field data to look like the following: "Doe, John P."
I'm having a problem writing SQL that is sensitive to placing the period after the middle initial only if there is a middle initial present. If there isn't a middle initial, I just want the following: "Doe, John".
I have tried the following CASE statement:
CASE WHEN middleInitial IS NOT NULL THEN ' ' + middleInitial + '.' ELSE '' END
However, I get an error indicating that the CASE statement is not supported in the Query Designer.
How can I resolve this problem in a View? Is there a function similar to ISNULL(middleInitial, '') that would allow for the "."?
I have a transaction table which has Date as datetime field, amount and account number. i want to find out count of checks that were written in a period of 4 days which exceeded i.e. > $400, between 401 and 500, > 501 for a single month. the table has data for more than a year and i want the results then grouped in monthly format like in OCT between 300 & 400 #30 (30 customers gave checks total worth $300-$400 within any 4 consecutive days period in the month of OCT ) between 400 & 500 # 20 > 501 # 10
NOV between 300 & 400 #30 between 400 & 500 # 20 > 501 # 10
Example table: PeopleID Date Status 1 2004-01-01 True 1 2005-01-01 True 1 2006-01-01 True 2 2004-01-01 True 2 2005-01-01 False 2 2006-01-01 True
I'm trying to find a way to query whether or not someone has had a specific status for 3 years in a row. As you can see from the table above, PeopleID 1 has had a "Status" of "True" for 3 years in a row, whereas PeopleID 2 hasn't--there was one year where they had "False".
I'm wondering I can query this, or if I'm going to have to scan the records manually. :(
I suppose I could write a stored procedure and do some looping too.
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterp Trial version, which is about to expire in 14 days.. Is this possible to Extend this? Or Un-installing and re-installing may give me back 180 days again? I haven't tried this, but need to know before I do an attempt?
Don't have other machine, don't want to re-built my system..
Alright here's my situation. I have two servers both running Eval copies of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. This is only because I had the promise that I would be getting a shiney new server with a fully licensed copy of the server soon so I wasn't worried when I setup these two programs to use these. Now they are dragging their feet to approve the server and software so I'm scared. First question - What will happen when the eval period runs out? Second question - Can I tell what the date was when I installed the server?
These both will help me push management to approve atleast the purchase of an SQL license if I can't get the server.
How do you build a query to calculate the time of employement or any space of time for each person in a table? I'm thinking I would want to use a "Current Date" and "Select Datediff" calculations of some sort and reference the hiredate against the current date but I have been unable to find much on this type of query.. Please help..
HiI am hoping someone might be able to help me out with this.I am writing a helpdesk system which records agents logging in and outof the system.I need to write a stored procedure which will show the peak number ofagents logged in concurrently during a specified time period. Withinthe time period, the person viewing the report should be able tospecify intervals at which to see the data.Eg. There is already a table in the system which holds loggedin/logged out data like22/11/2004 14:02 - 22/11/2004 17:3022/11/2004 09:00 - 22/11/2004 17:1222/11/2004 10:25 - 22/11/2004 16:3022/11/2004 11:02 - 22/11/2004 12:3022/11/2004 16:00 - 22/11/2004 17:30The report user can then say for example they want to view databetween 10th November and 12th November broken down into 15 minutesintervals which would produce a table like this:10/11/2004 00:00 - 10/11/2004 00:1510/11/2004 00:15 - 10/11/2004 00:3010/11/2004 00:30 - 10/11/2004 00:4510/11/2004 00:45 - 10/11/2004 01:00 etc etcAgainst each of these time slots, I need to work out the peak numberof concurrent agents logged in using the first table.Can anyone make any suggestions? The time period the report user canchoose are either 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, 1 hour and 1 day.Thanks in advance
Hello to everybody, I'm quite new to the Analysis Services world and would like to create a BI Solution for one of my customers with the following problem: I have sales data from the ERP from different years (2005 and on). My customer wants a report that shows the sales of the current year up to the month he wants to specify (e.g. january - march 2008) compared with the sales of the same period of the previous year (e.g. january - march 2007), divided into product category.
Is there a way to build a cube and then a matrix report in Reporting Services that lets the user specify the period for the current year and shows the same period of the previous year. Do I achieve this behaviour with a calculated member in the cube (e.g. ParallelPeriod)
Any hint (or web like example) would be very appreciated.
Using the TimeSeries algorithm, how do I forecast more than one time period ahead? I read in you book on page 182 that PredictTimeSeries function can take a parameter for the number of time periods you want to predict. Fore example, SELECT PredictTimeSeries(Bread,5) tells the algorithm to predict the next 5 time periods. Can you tell me how to change that parameter using the graphic interfaces?
ls_SQL = ls_SQL + " WHERE " + "Convert(varchar(10)," + dataSet1.Tables["Model_Criteria"].Rows[i]["table_name"].ToString() + '.' + dataSet1.Tables["Model_Criteria"].Rows[i]["column_name"].ToString() + ")" + " " + dataSet1.Tables["Model_Criteria"].Rows[i]["relational_operator"].ToString() + " "+ ''' + ls_Value+ '''+ " " + dataSet1.Tables["Model_Criteria"].Rows[i]["logical_operator"].ToString() + " "; I stored this sql in a string and i want to check whether this string is error free or not (syntax). how i can do it. Please help it's urgent.
Hi I have a .net 2 website that works from a sql 2000 db. I am building a form that will allow the user to type in any search criteria and based on their input I need to produce some results (that’s the simplest way to put it)I will need to search various parts of my db to find similar sounding information, I was just wondering what is the best way to do this. I had the following thoughts1) Search columns using Soundex tsql function (but not sure how good this is?)2) Remove all noise words from user input (eg, and, or, the etc...) and then use a regular expression to search the fields in the dbAlternatively are their some third party components to do can do this for me Many thanks in advance
does anyone have code that shows how to separate individual words from a sentence.
e.g. i have a list of questions and answers in my database and have the following query for it:
SELECT question, Answer FROM QuestionsAnswer WHERE FREETEXT(Question, 'i want to travel around the world and learn about cooking')
so i want to extend the above query so that takes each key word (travel, cooking, learn) to find out how frequently that particular word appears in the question (for ranking purposes).
I know freetexttable does rank results, but they don't seem accurate enough for what i need to do.
