Hi!I want to do a query against a SQL DB and by sorting a datetime field, I want to get the second newest record in the table, not the newest.Can I do that?/Johan Ch
View 1 RepliesHey all,
I just discovered this cool forum. I am fairly new to T-SQL, so please bear with me.
Here is my problem. I am trying to return 1 record for each distinct MachineName, based on the most current CreateTime.
I have tried a bunch of different things, but the follwing query seems to get me close, except for all of the records, per MachineName, that aren't the newest CreateTime. Can anyone offer a suggestion I may be missing?
Here is my query:
SELECT
rcv.Name AS MachineName, r.CreateTime, rpv.Path + rpv.Name AS ResourcePool
FROM
dbo.Result_View AS r WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN
dbo.ResourceConfiguration_View AS rcv WITH (NOLOCK) ON r.ResourceConfigurationId = rcv.Id INNER JOIN
dbo.Resource_View AS rv WITH (NOLOCK) ON rcv.ResourceId = rv.Id INNER JOIN
dbo.ResourcePool_View AS rpv WITH (NOLOCK) ON rv.ResourcePoolId = rpv.Id
WHERE
(rpv.Name NOT LIKE 'Archive')
AND
(r.CreateTime > '2/1/2008')
AND
(r.CreateTime = (SELECT TOP (1) r.CreateTime FROM dbo.Result_View))
ORDER BY MachineName
I have added the '2/1/2008' filter, so as not to hammer the DB too hard. It goes back for some time.
Thanks in advance,
Allen

I am building from the Time Tracker Start Kit, trying to get a better feel for how MS thinks we should do things.
In my editing, I have built a new Stored Procedure, trying to pull the newest entries for a specified person.
I have the following that will return all entries for a specific person, sorted by date, newest first:
SELECT
EntryLogID, TT_EntryLog.Description, Duration, EntryDate, TT_EntryLog.ProjectID AS ProjectID,
TT_EntryLog.CategoryID AS CategoryID, TT_Categories.Abbreviation AS CategoryName, TT_Projects.Name AS ProjectName,
ManagerUserID, TT_Categories.Abbreviation AS CatShortName
FROM
TT_EntryLog
INNER JOIN
TT_Categories
ON
TT_EntryLog.CategoryID = TT_Categories.CategoryID
INNER JOIN
TT_Projects
ON
TT_EntryLog.ProjectID = TT_Projects.ProjectID
WHERE
UserID = @UserID
ORDER BY
EntryDate Desc
This will return something like:
EntryLogId Description Duration EntryDate ProjectID CategoryID CategoryName ProjectName ManagerUserID CatShortName

Can someone please tell me how to do that in one query ?
Ok here's a big one.
First I'm a big NEWBIE, so it'd be great if you can provide a little explanation as to how this should be done...
Here's what I want to do, but have no idea how to approach it.
I have a table with Quotes (table Quote) in them (for a Sale's Team). Each has a quote number (qtQN) and this number is sequencial but sometimes revised where a letter is added at the end. Like so:
qtQN__________Date
---------------------------
111q0001--------02/01/04
111q0002--------02/02/04
111q0002A------02/03/04
111q0002B -----02/04/04
222q0005--------01/15/04
etc... ------------- etc...
The first 3 digit are company codes and pretty unimportant to this problem. As you can see, 111q0002 has three versions. A, B, and no letter. The most up to date is B. So in this list I want to list only the most up to date quotes. So the resulting list would be:
111q0001
111q0002B
222q0005
Get it? Good, cuz I have no idea how to query that... any help at all is appreciated!
I'm using MS SQL Server 2k and scripting with ASP 3.0
I dont know how to get the newest input for each user from one single table.
Should be a very simple task but i cant work it out.
The table looks like this:
ID (A_I), userID, ip, date(timestamp)
Here is a SQL Fiddle Link with some data also: [URL] ....
I have tried a lot querys like this one:
SELECT userID, ip FROM userips GROUP BY userID ORDER BY ID DESC
But this one does not give me the latest ip which was entered by a user.
i have two tables A and B. relation is one to many for A. i want to select from A only if there are more than two records of A in table B and also checking some condition in table B. if the question's not very clear please let me know.

I am trying to tweak some code which is used to display the newest comments left on photos created by my members.
The existing code is this:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
So the latest comment left was for photo #210879 from user "Cla" (redacted user names). The 2nd newest comment would be for photo #211072 from a member named "mo". pdate is a date field
However for the script I have coded I don't want all of the photo comments to show up. This is because I use access levels based on the type of location (higher levels mean more restricted galleries). I check the access levels as I go through the recordsets.
I use this method to get the top 15 comments:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
Now I have to use two other tables to determine the access level. Since PHOTOCOMMENTS is just a list of photo #'s and the people who left comments for those photos, I need to:
a) determine what location the photo is from and
b) determine the access level of that location
I use: select creator,access from locations where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
This is a two step process as you can see. The first part is:
select dir from photos where id=(pnumber)
ID is the same value as pnumber seen in PHOTOCOMMENTS. That is to say PHOTOS.ID = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER
If I haven't confused you yet, the executed code for the first example would be:
select dir from photos where id=210879
which would get me a value for DIR. DIR is the location number which would be:
select creator,access from locations where id=(dir value)
Just to simplify it a bit....
There are three tables (shown below)
PHOTOCOMMENTS
PHOTOS
LOCATIONS
I need to: SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC (first table shown)
but then also
select creator,access from locations (The last table shown)
where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
So the first table PHOTOCOMMENTS has to also join PHOTOS table where PHOTOS.DIR = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER in order to get the value of "DIR" and then DIR is joined to the LOCATIONS tables where PHOTOS.DIR = LOCATIONS.ID
Here is the actual code, which I am trying to make into a single SQL command
strSQL = "SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC"
set ors = oconn.Execute(strSQL)
tl = 0
do until ors.eof or tl > 15
' until we have 15 results because not every recordset will be of the proper security level
[Code] ....
Bonus points if you can also get it to select from LOCATIONS only WHERE userlevel >= 2
If I have a table structure similar to the following, how might I query it to obtain the Transaction ID, Transaction Date, and Customer Name for the most recent transaction per customer only:
TransactionTable:
TransactionID TransactionDate TransactionType CustomerName
1 10/1/07 1 Bob
2 8/30/07 2 Janet
3 9/17/07 1 Mike
4 9/25/07 1 Bob
The following query will return all records in the table other than Janets...not what I want:
SELECT Transaction ID, TransactionDate, CustomerName
FROM TransactionTable
WHERE TransactionType = 1
ORDER BY TransactionDate DESC
The following query will return all records in the table other than Janets again, because DISTINCT will use the combo of TransactionID, TransactionDate, and Customer name for uniqueness...not what I want:
SELECT DISTINCT Transaction ID, TransactionDate, CustomerName
FROM TransactionTable
WHERE TransactionType = 1
ORDER BY TransactionDate DESC
The results set I'm looking for would be the following, where only the most recent entry per customer with TransactionType 1 is returned (i.e. one record for Bob):
TransactionTable:
TransactionID TransactionDate CustomerName
1 10/1/07 Bob
3 9/17/07 Mike
I believe I need an appropriate subquery to yield the results I desire, but can't sort out what it is? I do not want to execute multiple queries but subqueries are fine. Unfortunately there's probably an easy answer that my brain is not currently generating. Any help would be appreciated.
Note, this is not a real table, but a sample to illustrate the concept for the query I need.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
anyone can help me?
i using sp to select a select statement from a join table. due to the requirement, i need to group the data into monthly/weekly basic.
so i already collect the data for the month and use the case to make a new compute column in the selete statement call weekGroup. this is just a string showing "week 1", "week 2" .... "week 5".
so now i want to group the weekgroup and disply the average mark. so i need to insert all the record from the select statement into the temporary table and then use 2nd select statement to collect the new data in 5 record only. may i know how to make this posible?

Hey gang,
I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query')
I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling.
Here's my current Query this works fine:
Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum
From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo
Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#')
What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note.
I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
