Math - Division Question..

Dec 6, 2007

To set the stage, Tables are set up as such for this question:
-----------

Table: Answers
ID - Integer - Auto
Answer - Integer
QuestionID - Integer - FK from the QuizMaster table
StudentID - Integer - FK from the Students table

Table: QuizMaster

ID - Integer - Auto
Answer - Integer

Table: Students
ID - Integer - Auto
StudentName - Varchar(50)
----------
I would like to have an either a sql statement (1st) or a stored procedure (2nd) that would give me the percent correct for each student on the test.

In Access I could cheat and use this:



Code BlockSELECT Students.StudentName,
Count(Students.StudentName) AS TotalCorrect,
(SELECT Count(QuizMaster.ID) FROM QuizMaster;) AS TotalQuestions,
([TotalCorrect])/([TotalQuestions])*100 AS PercentValue
FROM (Answers INNER JOIN Students

ON Answers.StudentID = Students.ID)
INNER JOIN QuizMaster
ON (Answers.Answer = QuizMaster.Answer)
AND (Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID)
GROUP BY Students.StudentName
ORDER BY Students.StudentName, PercentValue;

Which is composed of the following...







Code Block

SELECT Students.StudentName,


Count(Students.StudentName) AS TotalCorrect
FROM (Answers INNER JOIN Students

ON Answers.StudentID = Students.ID)
INNER JOIN QuizMaster
ON (Answers.Answer = QuizMaster.Answer)
AND (Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID)


GROUP BY Students.StudentName;


SELECT Count(QuizMaster.ID) AS TotalQuestions
FROM QuizMaster;


([TotalCorrect])/([TotalQuestions])*100 AS PercentValue


But... that wont fly in SQL Server...What would work without using temp tables?
What would be the EASIEST way to do this?

Another way someone suggested is:




Code BlockCREATE PROCEDURE GetStudentGradeByID @StudentID Integer

AS

BEGIN


DECLARE @TotalQuestionsAsked as Integer;
DECLARE @StudentName as VarChar(50);
DECLARE @QuestionsCorrect as Integer;
DECLARE @PercentCorrect as Float;

set @TotalQuestionsAsked = select COUNT(*)FROM QuizMaster;
set @StudentName = select StudentName from Students where ID = @StudentID;

set @QuestionsCorrect = select count(Answers.ID) from Answers LEFT JOIN QuizMaster on Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID where StudentID = @StudentID AND QuizMaster.Answer = Answers.Answer;
set @PercentCorrect = (CAST (@QuestionsCorrect AS FLOAT) / CAST (@TotalQuestionsAsked AS FLOAT)) * 100.0;

select @QuestionsCorrect as TotalCorrect, @StudentName as Student, @TotalQuestionsAsked as NumQuestions, @PercentCorrect as CorrectPct;

END


But I need this as a datasource for a datagrid that would show all students etc... so using a parameter isn't really what I want.
So... could a stored procedure work for this?

Sql Math Question

Nov 18, 2007

How do i update a sql table so that the result cannot be less than zero?for example, lets say I have the column "Number"I have a sql update statement that subtracts 1 from number:"Update oTable SET Number = (Number - 1)"Except that Number cannot be less than zero.  Is there a way to do this in sql statement so that I don't have to have a select statement just to check that Number is greater than zero to begin with? Thanks

Doing Math On Tables

Oct 26, 2004

Hello everyone:

I have a database for one of my websites, a picture rating site. Anyways, right now there are quicte a few tables, and I was wondering how to give the server a break and was wondering if this was possible:

Basicly I have a members table, and a votes table. Members will rate other users pcitures on a scale of one to ten, then the votes will be inserted into the votes table. The only problem with this is that calcuating all the votes a user has can put a straing on the server. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a math column in the members table that would automaticly figure out the users average and having it stored in a field in the members table, so all I would have to do is query the members average located in the mebers table, rather than tallying all the votes in the votes table for each member.

Hope this makes sense, a tutorial or any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Date Math In SQL - How To Do?

Jan 16, 2006

I have some dates stored in a field named "visit"

In a select they show as the format:
2005-07-28 10:45:00.000


So I need to write a query that will select Visits that are more than 90 days old. I thought it might be something simple like:

Select * from patientVisit where ((getdate())-Visit>90)

But that is pulling all visits not just 90 day old ones.

How do I pull the current date/time and compute the cutoff date time that would be 90 days prior for my selection Where clause?

Thanks

Math Notation In Db?

Dec 1, 2007

I'm not a professional dba or dbd, but I'm proficient in the basics ofdatabase design and sql. I want to create a database of mathdefinitions, and I'm wondering how one would go about creating adatabase that contains mathematical notation (and I'm not just talkingabout basic symbols where I could get away with ascii code). I needto be able to insert a wide variety of mathematical expressions, fromfractions to integrals, into fields (just like you can enter in-linemath symbols in MS Word using equation editor). I have no clue how togo about this. Is it a matter of developing certain programmingskills/languages? Would such a capabliltiy be proprietary (dbms-specific)? Is it possible at all? Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.

Date Math

Mar 12, 2008

Hi,

I have a column coming from DB2. It is the time is stored as 6 decimals of a second. So the value I got coming in is 44846(DT_I8), which needs to be divided by 60 to get minutes (747 minutes remainder 26 seconds). Then divide 747 by 60 to get 12 hours remainder 27 minutes. Thus the time is 12:27:26.

I have got a dervived column doing (DT_R8)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)PSCCLOGTIM,1,5)) / 60 but the answer I am getting out is 747.433333. Close, but not close enough. Now I assume my problem has something to do with the Math being done on actual numbers not Time based numbers.

Anyone got any ideas on where I am going wrong and what the expression should look like?

SQL Math Functions With COUNT() - Can Anyone Help, Please?

Mar 28, 2007

I have been trying to make a database that counts up and down votes (like eBay ratings or reddit votes).  I think (hope) I have got the database design right.
I know that you can perform math functions in SQL, but I want to use two COUNT()s from the same table and subtract one (the down votes) from the other (the up votes).
I have been learning ASP.NET 2.0 and it's going well, but I really need help with this.  I asked a question on this forum before and the answers were great and really helpful.
If anyone can help that would be great.  Thank you.
Jack.

Math Is Driving Me Nuts

Jul 20, 2005

The business rule is, the sales manager is commissioned on the avg. numberof appointments set up per salesrep per day during the month.I have 2 tables: The UserLog table records only 1 entry per day per user(salesrep). This will log how many salesreps worked a particular day. Thesecond table logs any appointments set up.UserLog: ID, UserName, EnteredTimeAppointment: ApptID, EnteredTime, ApptDateI figured that, for a given date ranged, I could1. sum the number of appointments2. sum the number of days worked2. sum the salesreps / number of days = avg number of salesreps per day3. number of appointments / avg number of salesreps per day = avg numberof appointments per sales repBut this logic is flawed. If I average out every day and then take anaverage of this daily average, I get a different result. Any ideas on howto best solve this problem?Thanks.

Interesting Math In A T-SQL Query

Oct 2, 2007


The value in the table of one DB is 17869 sq. ft. Now to insert this value in a new table of other database the reporting basis is 1000 i.e I need to do 17869/1000 = 17.8 so I have to take the value as 18. Another thing to be kept in mind is the value in the new table should have leading Zeroes. If the value is 18 it should be displayed as 0000018 ( data type in new table is Varchar(7) and in old table char (9) ). What can be the best way to implement this??

Evaluating Varchar String With Math

Mar 5, 2008

In reference to this thread:

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=50392

madhivanan asks for sample table data to avoid using a cursor. I could really use this, so here is the table



CREATE TABLE #T (
FORMULA VARCHAR(15),
ANSWER decimal(15,8)
)
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1.0 + 2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2+2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/(2+2)',NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3*7.5', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3/2*.6-2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '(1-1)', NULL

SELECT * FROM #T

-- RUN THE MATH FUNCTIONS, UPDATE THE TABLE'S ANSWER COLUMN WITH THE ANSWER

SELECT * FROM #T

DROP TABLE #T


I would expect this output:

FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 NULL
1.0 + 2 NULL
1/2 NULL
1/2+2 NULL
1/(2+2) NULL
3*7.5 NULL

Division By 0 In Query

Dec 17, 2007

In my query, there's a mathematical expression that takes a value from one table and divides it by another value (X).
The problem is that X can be 0 sometimes and then I get an error.
How can I prevent errors like this for the case of X=0?
In access I would use IIF function, but it doesn't appear in SQL SERVER views.

Decimal Division

Mar 7, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to divide two decimal(19,4) numbers but it keeps giving me a Divide by 0 error.

- 10698.25 / 76782.11 = -0.13 (but I get a Divide by 0)

I looked it up in the Sql Server docs, does the Divide by 0 error also cover Stack overflows?

If so, how do I get around this?

Eliminate Division By Zero

Jul 31, 2007

This query is part of a larger query that updates a table that holds statistics for reporting. It yields actual Unit per Minute by plant by month. Some of the plants don't produce anything in certain months, so I'm ending up with a Divide by Zero error. I think I just need to stick another CASE statement in for each month, but that seems like it could get pretty ugly.

Any suggestions on how to improve this?

DIVISION ALWAYS RETURNS 0

Dec 11, 2007

It is common for me to need to create ratios from data in my database such as

SELECT
( list_value / sale_price ) as ratio
FROM
values


The value returned is always an integer whether decimal is cast or not. IE if sale_price is > list_value then 1 or 0 is returned instead of the percentage (ratio) as expected. Only whole numbers are returned.
BTW. Same is true in postgres db I have as well. What is it that I am doing wrong?
