Im trying to create a line graph for displaying the number of page views, in this instance for the last 7 days, problem is I would like to dispaly the graph as the last 7 days, so for today, tuesday would be the last day to hold a value on the graph and the six previous would be monday through wednesday descending, currently the values for the graph are thrown in by the day where monday always shows in the same position in the graph which is not that great,, (hope that makes sense)
If I could get the values out of the database in the right order I can use them to display in the graph as like,
Currently this is not as as I like,
SELECT COUNT([Day]) as num,[Day],dDate FROM ListingStats
WHERE iListingID=12
AND (dDate <= GetDate() AND dDate >= DateAdd(d,-7,GetDate()))
GROUP BY [DAY],dDate
ORDER BY [DAY] ASC
where the date is a datetime field, can I trunc this to get just the date so this current format will work? day represents an Enum of the day of the week 1=monday etc
All- Can anyone recommend a tool that generates ER diagrams and allows for the integration of narrative text that describes tables, relationships, rules, etc?
I need to be able to graph roughly about 150 employees/ supervisor and their monthly cell phone usage in minutes. I understand that I will need to group this on say one graph for every ten employees so it doesn't look messy and cluttered. I have read some threads here but they dont seem to work for me.
So again each supervisor has 100+ subordinates and I need to graph theie phone usage by month
For performance issue, I believe many program should have a house-keeping procedure to clean up transaction history. Is there any best practice to perform this? Or should it be done simply by moving transaction data from the transaction table into a history table? Any better or consideration that I should be concerned of?
I want to have a query that will return me a single row for each user from a table where the table has many rows for each user. The single returned row for each user must be the most recently dated entry ([I7-Change-Date]) for that user.
An example of the code I have so far is as follows, but it obviously doesn;t work.select DISTINCT([I1-Customer-Ref]) AS Cust,([i7-w-fixed-amnt]) as WaterFixedAmt, ([i7-w-rv-amnt]) as WaterRVAmt, ([i7-s-fixed-amnt]) as SewerageFixedAmt, ([I7-Change-Date]) AS [Date]from r07UnMeasuredBills ORDER BY Cust, [I7-Change-Date] DESC I am using MS SQL Server 7 for this.
Hello group.I have an issue, which has bothered me for a while now:I'm wondering why the column statistics, which SQL Server wants me tocreate, if I turn off auto-created statistics, are so important to theoptimizer?Example: from Northwind (with auto create stats off), I do the following:SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Country = 'Sweden'My query plan show a clustered index scan, which is expected - no indexexists for Country. BUT, the query plan also shows, that the optimizer ismissing a statistic on Country, which tells me, that the optimizer wouldbenefit from knowing this.I cannot see why? (and I've been trying for a while now).If I create the missing statistics, nothing happens in the query plan (andwhy should it?). I could understand it, if the optimizer suggested an indexon Country - this would make sense, but if creating the missing index, queryanalyzer creates the statistics with an empty index, which seems to me to beless than usable.I've been thinking long and hard about this, but haven't been able to reacha conclusion :) It has some relevance to my work, because allowing theoptimizer to create missing statistics limits my options for designingindexes (e.g. covering) for some rather wide tables, so I'm thinking why notturn it off altogether. But I would like to know the consequences - hopesomebody has already delved into this, and knows a good explanation.RgdsJesper
What is the unit of the numbers you get in the Time Statistics-part when running a query in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with Client Statistics turned on?
Currently I get mostly 0īs, but if I try and *** up a query on purpose I can get it up to around 30... Is it milliseconds or som made up number based on clockcycles or... ?
I would also like to know if itīs possible to change the precision.
I have a matrix report with STORES in the row group and DATES in the column group. The table sums on SALES. The DATES column is formatted like =format(Fields!DATES.Value, "MMM yyyy"). The table also has 2 parameters @Start and @End. This all works great but I then added a child report so that the user can click on the SALES value for any sale by month and store. The child report uses the @Start and @End parameters from the original report but this is where I run into problems.
Rather than bringing me the sales details for a particular store and month it brings back everything from the time period selected with the original date parameters. So say I originally selected 2015-01-01 to 2015-06-30 with the parameters when I select on FEB 15 in my matrix report I get Febs data along with all the other months ie Jan-Jun 15. The DATES fields in both reports are in the same date format - in fact both reports use exactly the same dataset.
I realize it's something to do with the formatting of the DATE field not being recognized in the linked report.
I have a data column named Date_In with format of 20-May-13. How can I filter the data to select based on year only. I used
Select * From apps.xdmc_852@erpprod Where Year(Date_in) = 2014
This code is not working. I also need a way to automatically update to next week range. For example, last week I used where function like this
Where Date_in = to_date('01/12/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
Is there a way it will automatically at the next 7 days to the code above when the date is available. This week I have to go back and changed the code in to this:
Where Date_in = to_date('01/19/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
We are experiencing a problem using order clause in the statement below:
SELECT person.pkey , first_name FROM person , private_person WHERE fkey_person = person.pkey AND first_name = 'A' ORDER BY first_name , person.pkey
Where person table contains the following columns:
pkey, name etc
and private_person
pkey, fkey_person (indexed), first_name (indexed)
The output is:
STEP 1 The type of query is SELECT FROM TABLE private_person Nested iteration Index : i$private_person$first_name FROM TABLE person Nested iteration Using Clustered Index pkey first_name ----------- --------------------- 2000512 A 10994 A 2299 A 1097 A 1218 A 5133 A 1329 A 1387 A 1465 A 7532 A 5513 A 1884 A 512 A 591 A
(14 row(s) affected)
STEP 1 The type of query is SETOFF
Why SQL server does not order by pkey? Is there any information about it somewhere? Is it a bug or what?
If we are ordering by fkey_person everything is Ok. Can anybody help?
I have made sql table called costreallocation consists of two columsn: RuleID varchar(10) Type varchar(20) I run the following three queries: insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('aa','a') insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('dd','d') insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('cc','a') then when i notice that these three records are not inserted as they are run: In the table thn there are three records : aa a cc d dd d but i need to be filled in the table as they run as: aa a dd d cc d
I have an int field - that will hold number for an ordering system. It's a databound field to a textbox in a grid, I want the default to be empty, however not all fields are required so i may have 1-6 as bound values, and the rest should fall in line behind them - the only thing i can think of to do is default the values to 9999 so they come after 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc... I don't like seeing 9999 in my bound fields. thanks for any suggestions you may have. Jeff
As you can see it's a many to many relationship. Is there a way to order the books by Authors.Lastname (the first if there are several authors) with one query ? If not, what is the fastest way ? I don't need the names in the resultset so I only want to order the books by Authors.Lastname, not include Authors.Lastname.
Hiya! I've got a little stored procedure: CREATE PROCEDURE rICDCode @param1 char(15) = 'Description' AS SELECT DiagCode, ICD9ID, Description FROM ICDCodes ORDER BY @param1 and SQL is returning error 1008 - "The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number %d contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name." I want to be able to use the same stored procedure for several different functions which all need the same rowset sorted differently. Any way to do this?
I want to create a top 20 product list from a few thousand products. I want the rest of the products to be grouped into 'others'...
I also want the products to be ordered by the facts in the cube. Thus the product dimension would dynamically change depending on the Time dimension thats being selected.
Is it possible without using CASE statements, to order a result set by one field (if the second field return value is null) or another (if the second field return value is not null)
This would be on datetime fields. Let's say I have 5 records with 2 date fields sched_dt and arriv_dt.
sched_dt will always have a value, arriv_dt may or may not have a value.
In a single result set I would like to have the records with an arriv_dt sorted by arriv_dt and the ones without an arriv_dt sorted by sched_dt.
I have a table that has 4 dates for each record (birthday, anniversary, policy_start & policy_end). What I want to do is cycle through each record and then do some calculations using the gaps between the dates. So it might be Calc1 using (birthday->anniversary), Calc2(anniverary->policy_start), Calc3(policy_start->policy_end), etc. BUT the dates might be in different orders (ie the birthday could come first - or the anniverary could, etc).
In VBA in Excel, I can use the SMALL function within my calcs and this returns the minimum date, the next smallest, the next & then the biggest. But how can I do this in SQL. I guess I can push the 4 dates out to a temp table, order it and then suck them back in - but I have no idea how to do this for all the records in my primary table
I've also tried using various WHERE statements (ie do Calc1 using Birthday & Anniversary WHERE Birthday < Anniversary and ........ - but the code gets awfully long.
Is it possible to write my own SMALL function which uses a bubble sort on the 4 dates & then returns the smallest, next smallest, etc
Ive got a table with a field called 'morder' which orders a menu based on the values in this field (1 for position 1, 2 for position 2 etc...) for example
1 - menu item 1 2 - menu item 2 3 - menu item 3 4 - menu item 4
If I want to add a record to this table and put it at number 2 in the list, i need to update the table to then read...
1 - menu item 1 2 - NEW menu item 2 3 - menu item 2 4 - menu item 3 5 - menu item 4
I want to use a mssql or php function to re-order this field... is it possible??
Hi, I was wondering, I have several columns of data that are able to be sorted on - the user just clicks on the column name. However, we have 1 column called order status where we don't want the order to be alphabetical (and it is a text field - a couple current possible values are Processing...In Production...Waiting For Approval). This order is not good for logical sorting - we would want to be able to specify what value would get order. Does that make sense? So we would want to be able to say that Processing is first in the display, Waiting For Approval would be next, then In Production would be next, and so on. Is there any possible way of doing this in a SQL query? Or am I going to have to manually modify all the data adding numbers to the beginning of each data so that it will sort on the numbers? Thanks everyone.
i add new column using alter command but i always found it in the end of table but i want to add it in particular position between the columns...........
Hi,I'm streaming data monitoring histories of components into a database table with the following three columns: Hour (DateTime), Id (Int64), and Value (Int32). The Value entry is an aggregate of all values sent from component Id during, and 59 minutes and 59 seconds after, the time listed in the Hour column.I had rather not have to sort the queries after pulling them from the database by date. So I tried to index the DB by the Hour column. Any column will inevitably have duplicates, since the uniqueness depends on a combination of Hour and PortId. But Indexing the Hour column doesn't result in INSERTs being in order as I had expected. Instead, every entry is listed in order of insertion.So. . .how can I keep such a table ordered by date on the disk? I'm afraid this will become very inefficient if this isn't nipped in the bud right now.Thanks so much for your help!-Brandon
I am wondering if someone maybe able to help me, I am needing to order my data via months in the calendar sense not alphabetically, below is what I currently have, but it only does it alphabetically.
select to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon'), matdesc, count(*) from test group by to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon'), matdesc order by to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon') desc
I am trying to do a simple SQL query..the result will be sorted alphabetically by default, but i need to specify say, if there is a "Others" it will be placed last in the list. Is there any way to write the query using ORDER BY?
I also have the following query (again ive stripped out the non-relevant fields)
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.RECORD.Stock_Held_Number) AS TotalStock, CATEGORY.Name AS FundName FROM CATEGORY LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.RECORD ON CATEGORY.ID = dbo.RECORD.CATEGORY_id GROUP BY CATEGORY.Name, RECORD.Stock_Held_Number
At the moment its grouping all the CATEGORIES and giving me a sum total for each which is great.
The problem I have is the CATEGORY table, there is an optional join to parent CATEGORY records on the table.
What Im trying to do is to provide a fully ordered result within the CATEGORIES and I don't have a clue.
For example:
The CATEGORY table has the following values ID Name Parent_Category_id 1 Pens 2 Animals 3 Rocks 4 Horses 2 5 Dogs 2
When I currently run the query I get: Name TotalStock Pens 20 Animals 30 Rocks 40 Horses 50 Dogs 60
It's technically correct because I don't want the parent to calculate the total value of the children
What Im really trying to do is order them within the hierarchy though and indent (if possible) the result so I would get
Having recently had excellent service here (many thanks, Erland!),here's another wee problem.SQL 2000I need to get a report which will display the movement of people thus:ID DIRECTION NAME DATE VEHICLE REGISTRATIONThe value of DIRECTION can be either "Inbound" or "Outbound"I need to have the data grouped by ID, with the "Outbound" row first.For example1 "Outbound" Smith 10/02/2005 ABC1231 "Inbound" Smith 11/02/2005 ABC1235 "Outbound" Jones 14/02/2005 XYZ7895 "Inbound" Jones 15/02/2005 DEF456This is the SQL so far.SELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Outbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Outbound ' + fldVehicleOut AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))UNION ALLSELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Inbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Inbound '+ fldVehicleRtn AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))What I need is the way to Order or Group it so that I can just put therows into a report without any grouping on the report itself (CrystalReports aarrggh!) - if this is possible!Edward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.ukThanks
Hi everyone, I have a database (not designed by me) in sql server, I amhaving trouble ordering it correctly, and I would appreciate any help.Here is my structure, it's sort of hierarchical:TABLE_AID_COLSUB_ID_COLTABLE_BID_COL'NAMEThis could be thought of as an employee and supervisor structure. Wehave employees (TABLE_B) and their relationship (TABLE_A).I know I need to use a group and oder by, but I am drawing blankstoday. I need the result to be (if using the employee example):Bob-Ryan-SueMarkNick-George-Paul--Ringo--StarHere is my half-hearted stab at it:SELECT *FROM TABLE_A AINNER JOIN TABLE_B BGROUP BY A.SUB_ID_COLORDER BY NAME;Thank you very much for any help you can offer.Have a great night!Ryan
I've created a clustered two column index on a table where the secondcolumn is an integer value. When the first column is the same, insteadof ordering in numerical order it is ordering 1,10,100,2,20,200 etc.How can I change the behaviour to order the data in numerical order?Thanks,Rick
When I am receiving a batch of message from a queue to process, does it matter if I order by the queuing_order or the message_sequence_number? I want to make sure my messages process in the order in which they were put into the queue, which I know will happen if I process messages one-by-one, but want to make sure that the data I pull and process execute in the order in which they were received.
