Hello Experts. You may have more luck at this than me.
I am interested in finding the quantity of items that were ordered alone. I have an orderid field and a product field. So the count of the orderid has to equal one and the have them grouped by product.
Example of how data looks like
I am looking for transactions like orderid 3 and 5.
Installed the Northwind database for data to practice with. I'm trying to combine data from several tables to make the orders table more readable. Meaning, I'm trying to replace the EmployeeID field with the combination of the firstname and lastname fields from the Employees table. Everything works fine until I try to sum the Unit price field from the [Order Details] table. Using just a SUM() function or the Select statement below causes the error and any combination of fields in the Group By command don't correct it. It's clear that I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure how to get the data I want or use the group by command properly. Query below:
Select o.OrderID, c.companyName, e.firstname + ' ' + e.lastname EmployeeName, o.orderdate, s.companyName, o.Freight, o.shipName, o.ShipAddress, (Select Sum(od.UnitPrice) from [Order Details] od where od.OrderID = o.OrderID)as Amount from orders o, customers c, Employees e, Shippers s, [Order Details] od where o.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
[Code] ....
Running the first query (with the select statement) works, but returns a row for each of the the items that was ordered for that OrderID and NOT using the Group By. I would like to have the SUM() of the items ordered in one row. Is this possible?
Hi: I'm try to create a stored procedure where I sum the amounts in an invoice and then store that summed amount in the Invoice record. My attempts at this have been me with the error "The multi-part identifier "items.TAX" could not be bound"Any help at correcting my procedure would be greatly appreciate. Regards,Roger Swetnam ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateInvoiceSummary] @Invoice_ID intAS DECLARE @Amount intBEGIN SELECT Invoice_ID, SUM(Rate * Quantity) AS Amount, SUM(PST) AS TAX FROM InvoiceItems AS items GROUP BY Invoice_ID HAVING (Invoice_ID = @Invoice_ID) Update Invoices SET Amount = items.Amount WHERE Invoice_ID =@Invoice_IDEND
I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode 1A 1B 24 28 26 310 312 410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10 - 2 and 11 - 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
I'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).
I have a table of items (i.e. products). Â In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits"). Â In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items". Â In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id". Â Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent. Â So a sample of my database would be the following:
Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.
So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item. Â So an example of the report would be the following:
Name | Available Qty -------------------------- Kit A | 15 Kit B | 25 Item 4 | 100
I need to export data in a specific order (e.g. the order in which the data was inserted into the table). My BCP was doing this then just started exporting in random order. I know that SQL 7 doesn't guarantee return order unless specified by an ORDER BY clause. However, that's not possible with BCP unless you use the command line BCP with the QUERYOUT option. That's my problem. I'm using the BulkCopy object in DMO and I don't see an option to order the data or use a query with an order by statement. Any suggestions?
I feel like I'm missing something really simple here...
I'm trying to write an sp to return a list of countries alphabetically to populate a web drop-down list in a form. However, since most people using the form will be from USA, I want "USA" to appear as the first row, then the rest should be alphabetical, e.g. ("USA", "Afghanistan", "Albania"... "Zimbabwe")
I'm using a UNION query, but it's ordering the result set so that USA appears alphabetically, not as the first row. I'm not using an ORDER BY clause.
Here's the code I'm using:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetCountries AS
SELECT Country_Name FROM Countries WHERE Country_Name = 'USA'
UNION
SELECT Country_Name FROM Countries WHERE Country_Name <> 'USA'
GO
I also tried selecting into a temp table and doing a UNION that way, but got the same results.
We have a 10 digit primary key value in this format: M000123456. Theorder for this key is first determined by positions 3 and 4 in thisexample, then positions 1 and 2. So a brief sample of correct orderingwould look like this:M000001501M000011501M000021501M000001601M000011601M000021601Now my question: how can I use a BETWEEN (or > and <) in my WHEREclause to get a range of values for this column? I use the followingORDER BY clause to control how the results are sorted, but I can't getthe same logic to work with BETWEEN in a WHERE clause.ORDER BY SUBSTRING(<fieldname>, 7, 2), SUBSTRING (<fieldname>, 5, 2)How do I return values between M000011501 and M000011601 for example?
I€™m trying to follow examples from: http://www.sqlmag.com/Articles/ArticleID/49240/49240.html?Ad=1 for an update statement that needs to run in a specified order.
Here€™s my problem:
I have a table:
TopicActivity PK €“ DayNum int (this is a date in YYYYDDD format) PK €“ TopicId int Visits int LifetimeVisits int
LifetimeVisits is a new column that I want to calculate the value using the previous Visits column data.
I want the end result to look like this: DayNum TopicId Visits LifetimeVisits 2008001 1 5 5 2008002 2 1 1 2008002 1 3 8 2008003 1 10 18
Here is the query I€™ve been trying:
WITH ordered AS ( SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY TopicId ORDER BY DayNum) AS RowNum FROM TopicActivity ) update ordered set ordered.LifetimeVisits = ordered.Visits + isnull((select o2.LifetimeVisits from ordered as o2 where o2.TopicId = ordered.TopicId and o2.RowNum = (ordered.RowNum - 1)),0)
The update doesn€™t seem to be happening in order as LifetimeVisits seems to have random results every time I run the query. (Usually the first couple of rows are right. I€™m dealing with thousands of records) I can€™t use a cursor as the query takes way to long.
hi, i am a newcomer and a freshman in asp.net. i am now writing a web-based system for SME as my final year project. i am going to use sql server and asp.net in C# to perform my final year project. as asp.net is new for me, i would have some simple problems to ask. 1. in the project, i would like the system can automatically generate the enquiry number for each new order input to the system. for example today is 05 July 2006, the enquiry number would like 2006211xxxx, where 2006 is year, 211 is the day count start from 1 Jan and xxxx is the random number/ ordered number. how can i implement this? i even don't know how to generate the ordered number. could anyone help me 2. if there is an unknown test sample in each order input. as the sample number for each order is different, how can i set a flexible table that can have different number of rows for user to input the test result. thanks Rgds, universe
When a nonunique nonclustered index is built on top of a clusteredindex, is it guaranteed that the bookmark in the nonclustered indexwill be kept in the same order as the clustered index?Here's an example to demonstrate my question:CREATE TABLE indextest (col1 int NOT NULL,col2 int NOT NULL,col3int,col4 int)ALTER TABLE indextest ADD PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (col1,col2)CREATE INDEX ix_indextest ON indextest (col1,col3)GOINSERT indextest VALUES (1,2,1,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,3,2,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,4,2,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (2,1,1,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,1,1,1)SELECT col1,col2 FROM indextest WHERE col1=1 AND col3=1DROP TABLE indextestThe select statement above is covered by the nonclustered index, sothat index is used. However, the nonclustered index is defined only toensure the ordering of col1 and col3 within the index; col1 and col2follow within the index as the bookmark to the clustered index. When Irun this query, my desired result is to have the records appear in theorder supported by the clustered index:1,11,2As it happens, the result I got was indeed in that order, but I don'tknow if it was mere coincidence, or if the bookmark in the nonclusteredindex is maintained in the same order as the clustered index. If Iwant to ensure the above order, is it sufficient to have thenonclustered index defined as above, or do I need to define it as:create index ix_indextest on indextest (col1,col3,col2)just to be sure that the results are returned in ascending order forcol1,col2? If the two-column index is sufficient, is it guaranteed tostill be sufficient in SQL2005 and future versions of SQL Server, or amI better off adding the third column just to be safe?Thank you,--Dennis Culley
I'd like the "OUTPUT DELETED.* INTO target table" resulting from a DELETE to occur in the same order as the clustering key of the target table. Is this possible?
How do you all recommend storing ordered pairs in SQL Server 2005? I plan to add one record for every data point but this will generate many records and requires an extra field to relate the points together. Are there any better ways to do this? Can the data still be searchable or does it have to be unpacked first?
Ive been playing with this for a few days and thought I might thow itout for seggestions.I have Several Queries that need counts returnedThe Queries are Mutually Exclusive meaning whatever Query they returnin first they cannot be included in the counts of any queries belowthem.This set of queries for exampleSelect ID From Customers where FIRST_NAME = 'Chris' (would return say150)Select ID From Customers where ST='OH' (This would retunr say 50, BUTRun alone it might return 70, however 20 of those were in the firstQuery so they arent to be retunred in this result set.The total for Bot Queries would be 200But If I reverse it like soSelect ID From Customers where ST='OH' (This now returns 70)Select ID From Customers where FIRST_NAME = 'Chris' (This now returns130)The total of course for BOT Queries is 200 but I dont need that total Ineed the total for EACH Query depending on its orderingWhat I need are the single counts depending on the order in which thequeries are runIt seems like a recursion problem, but It might go past 32 level so Icant use recursive SQL ( I dont think )I've thought of (or tried to think how to use Not In, Not Exist, etcbut still dosent come up with the results....)How Can I grab the counts for each Query ?Chris
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index]
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I'm trying to include the COUNT(*) value of a sub-query in the results of a parent query. My SQL code is:
SELECT appt.ref, (Case When noteCount > 0 Then 1 Else 0 End) AS notes FROM touchAppointments appt, (SELECT COUNT(*) as noteCount FROM touchNotes WHERE appointment=touchAppointments.ref) note WHERE appt.practitioner=1
This comes up with an error basically saying that 'touchAppointments' isn't valid in the subquery. How can I get this statement to work and return the number of notes that relate to the relevant appointment?
I'm working on a document management system that will allow the users to tag docs. Would it better in terms of performance and general maintenance to have all the tags comma de-limited in a column of the doc record, or have each tag in a row of an associated table?
Hi , I am trying to write a report generator by simply using a form and then a gridview that query's the database based on what the user selects on the form. Anyways, I update the SQL parameters similar to below code. I just want to know how i can tell the parameter to get ALL values from the parameter instead of a specific value. For example if the user wanted to see ALL the records for CustomerName what would i set the parameter default value to? I tried the asterisk but that did not work. Please guide me....Thanks! MattSqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CustomerName"].DefaultValue = "some value";<asp:SqlDataSource ... > <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="CustomerName" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
I need to create a stored procedure that takes a list of product numbers(541, 456, CE6050,...) and selects only the customers that have all product numbers in the list. I have a product table that has the following schema:
So a customer can have more than one product, but I need a select statement that takes the product numbers and selects them against the product table and returns only the customerNumbers that have the entire list of product numbers. I have tried doing a join on the product list and productNumber, then join with the customer table on customerNumber, but that gets any entires found in the list not the entries that have all the product numbers. Thanks in advance for any help.
Initially this started as a case of "doh, I should just be using one database here, not two", and I was simply wanting to copy database tables. In VS2K5 I tried as there is a right click menu option of copy when a table is selected but this doesn't work for me with any database object of any kind. So fast forward to the present...I now am attempting to deploy an app to a hosting service, 1&1.com. I am allowed only one database in my current package, which should be fine for now. So I had to combine the ASPNETDB along with 2 other databases. It took a bit of time, but I got everything done, I thought, and posted to the servers. While debugging I get an error saying a stored procedure can not be found. And it indeed is not.This really confuses me as I made the changes in VS2k5, shut down and restarted to make sure I didn't miss anything, then used SQL Server Man. Studio to make a .bak file to upload to my hosting service. It never occurred to me to verify the changes I made in VS2k5 were actually on the database when viewed there. Well, they aren't, and I have no idea why. That would be issue #1 I suppose.So after giving the background info here, what I am looking for help with is how to get the changes I am making in VS2k5 to also be present when viewed from SQL Server Man. Studio as the only means of posting a db to my hosting provider is by using a .bak file.Also, why is it a project template I download has a .mdf file I am not able to even see in SQL Server Man. Studio? I guess if I had this answer the issue would be resolved.TIARegards,Joe
I want to select the latest photos that were posted on my site from my photos table:id name usercode createdate1 holiday 5 1/1/20082 holiday2 5 1/1/20083 my car 5 1/1/20084 new home 7 1/1/20085 starry night 8 1/1/20086 me again 6 10/10/2007But in case one user has posted like 400 photos I dont want to show 400 photos of the same user as that would mess up latest photos. So I want to show the latest photos but always with a maximum of 3 for the same user...So in the above data example pictures with id 1,2,3,4,5 would be shownHow can I achieve this with SQL (and as always: without temp tables :))Thanks!

I have a database with multiple items each day. I'm looking to extract monthly information from this data. So I'm thinking that I would like to have a drop down list with each available month in the list. How would I extract which months (for multiple years) have data from a datatype = smalldatetime? I'm using c# Thanks!
I need to create an ordered list of items using a select statement in a stored procedure. All itemsare obtained from a table but the first item in the list has a different value from the others.
