View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to list customers in a table that represents sales over the years.
I have tables:
Customers -> id | name |...
Orders -> id | idCustomer | date | ...
Products -> id | idOrder | unitprice | quantity | ...
I am using this SQL but it only gets one year:
SELECT customers.name , SUM(unitprice*qt) AS total
FROM Products
INNER JOIN Orders ON Orders.id = Products.idOrder
INNER JOIN Customers ON Customers.id = Orders.idCustomer
WHERE year(date)=2014
GROUP BY customers.name
ORDER BY 2 DESC
I need something like this:
customer | total sales 204 | total sales | 2015 | total sales (2014 + 2015)
--------
customer A | 1000$ | 2000$ | 3000$
customer B | 100$ | 100$ | 200$
Is it possible to retrieve these values in a single SQL query for multiple years and grand total?
How am I doing so far? I am trying to Insert the user_id if it does not allready exist in the table. But it does not like the value I am giving it in the INSERT statement.
What can I do?
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.ap_Update_Usr_Type_Data
-- define parameters
--@passUserId int
AS
--Set @passUserId = UserId
SELECT [user_id] As UserId
FROM CC_host.dbo.usr_table As t1
Where(email LIKE N'%@%' And email LIKE N'%usa.com') Order By UserId
If Not Exists (Select [user_id] As UserId2 From Usr_Type_Data WHERE UserId2 = UserId)
INSERT INTO Usr_Type_Data (user_id, CustomerTypeId) VALUES(t1.UserId, 7)
GO
The error I am getting in Query Analyzer (SQL SERVER 2000) is:
The name 'UserId' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted.
Hello Everyone, I am still learning Sql and need some help with a query. On the master table, I have an audit log. I have a trigger set up to run after an update.

Hi Folks,
Just me looking for some advice again on my complicated logon / registration process with DNN.
I ask my users to enter their league membership number as a password - this is then checked in a standalone table of data imported from FoxPro to test whether the membership no. i.e. password is current or not .... this all works fine. I do have a bit of a problem with the initial registration on the site however ...
All membership numbers acutally consist of a league division followed by the membership number so e.g. the member number 6789767 actually consists of two pieces of information - the first character is the league division and 789767 is actually the foxpro member number. So what I do is strip the first character away on sign in and registration when I am testing to see whether the user is a current league member e.g. ...
Dim MemberID As String = objUser.IsMember(Server.HtmlEncode(Mid(txtpassword.Text,2,10)))
This allows me to grab the real membership number out of the password and also helps to stop password guessing as no one will realise the first character is being stripped away. Fine except with the AddUser code in register.ascx.vb .... I don't know why but when I try to strip away the first character in a similar way in this line
Dim UserId As Integer
UserId = objUser.AddUser(PortalId, Server.HtmlEncode(txtFirstName.Text), Server.HtmlEncode(txtLastName.Text), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Unit), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Street), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.City), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Region), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Postal), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Country), Server.HtmlEncode(Address1.Telephone), Server.HtmlEncode(txtEmail.Text), Server.HtmlEncode(txtUsername.Text), objSecurity.Encrypt(_portalSettings.HostSettings("EncryptionKey"), Server.HtmlEncode(Mid(txtPassword.Text,2,10))), IIf(_portalSettings.UserRegistration = 1, CStr(False), CStr(True)), UserId)
well it does the right thing and only adds the password minus the first character to the users table however when the user is pointed back at desktopdefault the users name is not displayed, the additional tabs available to registered users do not appear however the logoff link is active ... strange why this should be so but I can't work out what the problem is. So I was thinking that another way to approach this would be a trigger on the users table so that when a new record is inserted the trigger runs and strips the first character off the password before the password is committed to the table.
Can anyone show me a simple trigger that will do this / comment on why the problem with AddUser occurs .... not au fait with triggers but a trigger could make me happy in this instance I think.
Look forward to a reply

If you are please let me know what software you are using. We currently are using Legato to back up our SQL Servers and it has
proven to be a real nightmare. Backing up to disk is not a solution for me since we have too many servers(16) and medium to large
Dbs. I would love any ones input into your current backup solution. Are you happy with backup time and restore time and is it
reliable?
Just got cut loose...
have a safe and happy new year!

I am trying to create a very minimal auditing system for a series ofdatabases.I am in the process of writing Update triggers for 5 Tablse. I willwrite a trigger for each table-the trigger's function will be toINSERT a row into my MasterChanges table everytime ANY data is changedin each of the 5 tables.I have set up MasterChanges to capture the following:what Table the change was made inwhat Field the change was made inwhat the Field was changed towhen this change occured.I have used the Columns_Update() function to enable the trigger tosurvey all 22 fields in the first table (my first attempt at this). Ican hardcode in the table's name, as there will be a separate triggerfor each table.The problem is how to identify the NAME of the COLUMN that was updatedand have the trigger write that NAME into MasterChanges, as well asthe new value of that column.My first thought is a very unacceptable hardcoding of multiple IFSTATEMENTS for each of the 22 fields.ie:IF(colA) then...elseif(colB) then...elseif(colC) then...etc.There must be a better way to do itI assume this would be done using Columns_Update() in some way, butcannot figure it out.Can anyone help?Thanks,Trevor Fairchild

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.
Best regards

Hi and thank you in advance to whomever takes the time to read this entry. I will be as detailed as possible, so I apologize for the length. The information here relates to the automotive industry, but I don't believe that is a very important detail
The overall purpose of this query is to create a compressed set of the data that exists in the database. The de-normalized information is structured like the following (including made-up data):
Code Block
PartNumber Make Model Year
-------------------------------------------------------
835100 ACURA INTEGRA 2004
835100 ACURA INTEGRA 2003
835100 ACURA INTEGRA 2001
835100 ACURA INTEGRA 2000
835100 FORD FOCUS 2002
There is any number of part numbers, makes, etc in this mix. The query that I currently use is utilizing MAX and MIN functions to determine year range, but as in the sample above, this does not take into account the fact that there could be a year skipped in the middle. I could probably use a cursor to do this, but would really like to stick to set logic if at all possible.
My existing query is:
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT
cwi.PartNumber
,RTRIM(lv.Make) AS Make
,MIN(lv.Year) AS StartYear
,MAX(lv.Year) AS EndYear
FROM
CWIParts AS cwi
INNER JOIN PartTypes AS pt
ON cwi.PartTypeID = pt.PartTypeID
INNER JOIN PartDetail AS pd
ON cwi.PartNumber = pd.PartNumber
INNER JOIN Status AS s
ON pd.StatusCode = s.StatusCode
INNER JOIN LegacyVehicle AS lv
ON cwi.LegacyVehicleID = lv.LegacyVehicleID
WHERE
cwi.PartTypeID = 10
AND s.Status = 'Active'
GROUP BY
lv.Make
ORDER BY
cwi.PartNumber ASC
,cwi.Make ASC
In hopes to end up with a result set that has 1 row for each unique part-number, make, and consecutive year range relevant to the part-number and make. I will also need to add the functionality to add other attributes (such as Model and Liters), but those are equality based and can be passed in easily.
I had done most of this programatically in vb.net, but I would much rather push this logic back to SQL Server. Thank you all for any help that you can provide on this topic.

thanks for reading.
i'm interested in improving the format of this query. consider me clueless today, if you will. :) how can i fix this to make it dynamically move over the years? is there something i can do with set manipulation that is smarter than this?
the goal of this query is to return cases per year, where "year" is defined as (Oct 1, YYYY - Sep 30, YYYY+1) instead of the typical YYYY
problem is, i have to write it as some cludgy dynamic sql looping over an incremented year. i don't know of any other way.
again, thanks for reading ... and any help in advance.

SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd,0,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,DATEADD(year,-1,@MyDate))+1,0))), 0)

CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATEADD(yy, -@x, DATEADD(D, -((@@DATEFIRST + DATEPART(DW, GETDATE()) -3) % 7), GETDATE())) ,23)

Hi, I would like to select data from my source system based on fiscal years. I don't want to hard code anything, e.g. select * from person where startdate > 01042005. I want to try and use a store proc or function. The main requirement is to always retrieve data from source tables for the last two fiscal years (based on todays date - getdate). Our fiscal year starts the 1st April. Therefore, If todays date is 14 October 2007, I would like to select all persons whose start date was greater than 01 April 2005. Is there an easy way to do this in sql server 2005 without hard coding dates?

Because the "-" means "continues", it the thing is still activated, so if it makes it easier, i could put the today's year afterwards during the query, if it ends with a - ...
Now, simply doing a
SELECT * FROM [table] ORDER BY TIME;
Sorts it "perfectly", apart from the "2002-" is just placed before 2005 and after 2001.
So, of course, it fails on all entries with a leading "-" ...
Right when I clicked "submit", of course, I can simply replace all entries with a time ending with "-", with the todays Year, so at least they will get at the end of the query...
Well, have to do a union, first sorting all without the "-", then sorting all with the "-", and that should be it...

I have a table in my MS SQL 2000 database called News which has a field caled NewsDate. This is a standard Date field which stores the info in this format: 3/1/2001.
I want to create a query that returns one row for each year that there is a story.
For example, if I had this data...
3/1/2001, 6/27/2003. 9/17/2003, 1/1/2006, 4/5/2006
the query would return this result:
2001
2003
2006
This is the query I've started with:
SELECT DISTINCT NewsDate FROM News ORDER BY NewsDate DESC
What modifier can I apply to the NewsDate field to extract JUST the year from the table? If this were ASP I would try something like Year(Date), but, of course, I can't do that here.
Is this even possible? I've been looking up date functions, but haven't found anything that will work in a select statement. ANY and ALL advice will be greatly appreciated.
