The key to this problem is the "valueID". The first digit of the value is significant - the "1" and the "7" in the above mean the values are parts of different groups of search criteria.
What I need to do is to select from this list into a temp table all those bookings (identified by AdBookingID) which have valueIds of both types - i.e. an row in the table where the valueId starts with a 1 and a row in the table where the valueId starts with a 7 - in the above data sample the only AdBooking which qualifies is 98220.
I worked out a method of doing this going by the number of entries each item had in the table:
select count(distinct valueId)
as valueId, adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID
into #worktable
from #tmp
group by adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID
having count(distinct valueid) > 1
Which is largely accurate. But - and here's the killer - although each adBooking can only have one valueId starting with 1, it can have multiple entries starting with 7. These bookings are rare, but they do exist and are causing anomalies in the data returned which - if you recall - must only contain booking records for which there are valueId entries with both a 1 and a 7.
Can anyone suggest a way I can get just the data I need?
Cheers,
Matt
I have this SP that works, except I need to add another field value for the WHERE clause. As you can see I have "WM" but I need to add "PR", and those two are definitely in the table field. I've tried a variety of syntax arrangements using the AND operator, the OR operator, the & operator, just a comma between the two, nothing between the two. Can someone please show me what I'm doing wrong. It fileters for "WM" fine, but I also need it to filter in the WHERE clause for "PR". Here is the SP:
CREATE procedure spDemoSchedule (@beginDate varchar(10), @endDate varchar(10), @storeNum int) AS
SELECT Progstats.[Program#], Progstats.KCKOFF, Progstats.ProgramName, Progstats.Parent, Store.[Str#], Store.Status, Progstats.Dept, Store.[Program#], Product.[Item#], Product.[Item] FROM Progstats INNER JOIN Product ON Progstats.[Program#] = Product.[Program#] INNER JOIN Store ON Progstats.[Program#] = Store.[Program#] WHERE Progstats.KCKOFF BETWEEN @beginDate AND @endDate AND Store.[Str#]=@storeNum AND Progstats.CLASS="WM" GO
Hi, I have a student results table with the layout shown below (four records with the fields separated by dashes). Sorry its so messy. Anyway, you can see that there are duplicates. I want to write an SQL statement that will pick out only the 'supplemental' records if duplicates occur. Any ideas on how to do this?
I have regular work that requires me to extract a bunch of customer records from our database, and then remove duplicate address destinations (so we dont mail the same address more than once).
I can currently achieve this using a combination of my poor SQL skills and Excel, but it's really not working out for me, so looking for SQL wizardry necessary to do it just in SQL.
Relevant fields: Member.AddressBarcode (This is a unique barcode (Text representation of a base-3 number) based on the customer address. So if there's more than one record in the pulled records with the same barcode, we then look at Member.MemberTypeID to determine whether to include this record in the results or discard it as a duplicate. Note that AddressBarcode may be blank if the mailing address couldn't be validated, if it is blank we don't discard it since there is no easy way to detect duplicate addresses without the barcode)
Member.MemberTypeID (This is the type of member account. We have 3 types - Single, Joint Primary, Joint Secondary, represented in this field by the numbers 1/2/3. This is also the order of preference of who to mail. So if there is a Joint Primary and Joint Secondary with the same mailing barcode, we want to discard the Joint Secondary from the results, so that the Joint Primary is the record we include in the results of who to mail.)
Member.ID (Unique numeric ID for each customer. Kind of irrelevant here, but it's a key)
So some pseudo code for what I'm trying to achieve is:
(Member.MemberTypeID = 1) OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1) OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 3 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
I'm trying to figure out why I am not getting any result set back from a search that includes non-alphanumeric or non-printable characters. For instance, if I have a table with a 20 character name column with names with beginning ranges from A-Z, why doesn't the following return any rows: select * from table where name < CHAR(126). In the ASCII character set, 126 is a tilde (~) which is numerically above the alphanumeric ranges 1-9,a-z, and A-Z. Shouldn't all records that sort lower in the character range be included in the result set ?
I'm assuming this has something to do with the default collation sequence being used which somehow does not include characters outside the alphanumeric range. Any ideas ?
I'm fairly new in SQL. Been trying for months to create the right script for this particular case but still cannot give me 100% result as required.
SCENARIO :
I am required to query from 2 tables for those unique record that meets both conditions below:- 1. Status is 1 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = CC 2. Status is 2 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = A or B
FYR, 2 tables and respective columns to query are as below:- table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FYI, status refers to the paychnl method status:- ==> 1 means the current paychnl method ==> 2 means the previous paychnl method
paychnl method can be multiple because it will be defined as 2 for all the histories' paychnl chosen earlier, but 1 should only be unique as it is the latest paychnl chosen for each unique ID. however, it may appear more than once when it's taking those in earlier TRANSDATE, so here we would need the max trans_id as it will show the latest updated TRANSDATE.
Apart from that, I need only those most recent paychnl to be A or B and the latest paychnl is CC so, this been indicated by the same max trans_id for the same ID.
Aft trying so many times on this MAX command but failed to get any result, I only managed to come up to this part only. please refer below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FROM DBO.PTFF PTFF JOIN DBO.CHFF CHFF ON CHFF.ID = PTFF.ID WHERE PTFF.TRANSDATE BETWEEN 130501 AND 130831 AND PTFF.TRANSCODE='T522' AND (CHFF.STATUS=1 AND CHFF.PAYCHNL='CC' OR (CHFF.STATUS=2 AND (CHFF.PAYCHNL='A' OR CHFF.PAYCHNL='B')))
However, the script above returns :-
1. All those records with STATUS 1 regardless paychnl is A or B in most recent status 2, 2. Expected results also appear ==> 1 same ID with status 1 while paychnl=CC and status 2 while paychnl=A or B 3. Also duplicates of expected results but for different TRANSDATE and not at MAX TRANS_ID
update wce_contact set blank = 'missing' where website in ('www.name1.co.uk','www.name2.co.uk','www.name3.co.uk')
I know this query will set 'blank' to missing when it matches the above websites. However if i wanted to set blank to 'missing' where mail1date is not null and mail2date is not null (keep going to mail18date not null) how exactly would i go about this?
I guess it would be a case of adding another bracket somewhere but im unsure?
Hi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray
When querying a bit field, I am encountering a problem with MS SQLServer returning a larger number of records for a table than theactual number of records that exist within that table.For example, my customer table has 1 million unique records, so theresults of the following query are as such:select count(customer_nbr) from customer = 1,000,000There is bit field in the customer table that denotes whether acustomer has placed an order with us called. That flag is calledorder_flagIf I run the following query:select count(customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1The result is 3,000,000 records.There is no logical way that this is possible, as my table onlycontains 1,000,000 unique records and the number of customers with anorder should be a subset of this.If a run the above query with a distinct before customer number, I getthe results I want:select count(distinct customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1600,000 records.So while I can get to the answer I want, I have no idea why I amreturning incorrect values if I don't select distinct.Can anyone help? I checked microsoft support and message boards buthaven't seen anything.I should note that the bit field is indexed.I am not sure if that isthe problem or not.
Criteria Retrieve records with independent price and its total volume per minute
SELECT SUBSTRING(st,1,4) AS Ttime,d_price AS Price,SUM(l_cum) AS Volume FROM cmd4 WHERE sd='20060717' AND serial='0455' GROUP BY SUBSTRING(st,1,4),d_price,l_cum
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
The problem is to find a subset of rows such that each value in each of two columns (animals and food brands in this example) appears in at least one row. The purpose is to produce a set of samples from a large table. The table has a animal_name column and an food_brand column; I want a set of samples that contains at least one of each animal_name and at least one of each food_brand, but no more than necessary.
CREATE TABLE Feeding_Options (license_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, animal_name VARCHAR (10) NOT NULL, food_brand VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL); INSERT INTO Feeding_Options VALUES (6401715, 'rat', 'IAMS'),
[code]....
To frame the problem better, her are the values in each column:
In this data, (6401715, 'rat', 'IAMS') and (1058337, 'rat', 'IAMS') are interchangeable, as are some of the other rows. There can be more than one minimal solution whcihmight be the whole set.
Can anyone suggest an alternative to the following problem?
We have had 2 users change their NTLogin in AD. For example, from jsmith to jbloggs. NB this is a change, NOT a completely new login. When the users connect to sql server and call the function SYSTEM_USER, the login returned is the old login:
TheDomainjsmith
This is causing an audit trail problem. Exactly the same issue exists with sys.sysprocesses.
The only way I have found of correcting the problem is by restarting the SQL server service which is obviously not ideal for such a trivial issue.
You can recreate this problem via local users on a sql box as well:
1. Create a local user on the SQL box called FirstUserName and grant access to SQL 2. do a runas on management studio and runas the FirstUserName user 3. connect to SQL and run SELECT SYSTEM_USER, you will get [nameofsqlbox]FirstUserName which is correct 4. kill management studio 5. rename the user SecondUserName 6. do a runas on management studio and runas the SecondUserName user (note, same user, now has different login name) 7. connect to SQL and run SELECT SYSTEM_USER, you will get [nameofsqlbox]FirstUserName which is now incorrect 8. restart sql server service 9. connect to SQL and run SELECT SYSTEM_USER, you will get [nameofsqlbox]SecondUserName which is now correct
Any solutions other than just sucking up a restart everytime a user changes login name would be much appreciated!
I'm using SQL Server 2005. The problem I have is as follows. I have several production lines and as with everything parts in the line tend to break. I have data from all the breaks that occurred in the last 2 years. What I want to do is predict the next break and the production line it's going to happen on. I would also like to go to a future date and check what possible breaks might occur on that date. I've run quite a few models but none of them helps me with future events. I think I might be using the wrong algorithm or I€™m just not doing it right. If somebody can please suggest an algorithm and maybe help me with a web site that has a tutorial similar to my problem
Hi,I have a gridview on a page, which should select data from a database. I want it to select the data row if it finds its UserName in the UserName column, but there will be many usernames in the username column, seperated by commas.Here is the select statement that I have at the moment, which doesnt return any data atall:SELECT [message], [senddate], [subject], [messageid], [sendername], [recievername] FROM [Messages] WHERE ([recievername] LIKE '% ' + @recievername + ' %')@recievername = Profile("UserName") which is the vwd wizards way of saying the current user. A Username column has data like this:bezzer , bezlan , beezer , beezler with a space between commas and a space at the start and the end.Thanks if someone can help!Jon
Since the Customers Table contains the complete list of customers I seek to have a Join made between it and the Paymentstable to check the amount made by the customers.
However, the trouble arises when I seek to check the average amounts made by each customer during last two months in which such a customer had paid.
In further clarification, lets consider current month of May 2015 going on;
Customer_A had paid $10,000 in AprilCustomer_A had paid $5,000 in AprilCustomer_B had paid $10,000 in AprilCustomer_A had paid $18,000 in MarchCustomer_A had paid $2,000 in MarchCustomer_A had paid $10,000 in FebruaryCustomer_B had paid $8,000 in FebruaryCustomer_B had paid $4,000 in FebruaryCustomer_B had paid $3,000 in February...
Hi am creating a new database not sure which way is the best way to go. Here are the questions
I have a history table which has its an identity field and an identification field which shows what type of history field it is. As in payment, printout, change and so on.... For this field should i use Full text which has the payment, printout, change and so on and make it easy on the eye and for queries and coded to use the same text all the time have varchar(2) type of field which holds an understandable field PR, PO, CH and a reference table for it as in PR= PAYMENT, PO = Printout, CH as in change and so on or have a integer field as in 1, 2, 3 and ref. table 1=payment, 2 = printout, 3=change and so on I have a address table which holds multiple types of addresses which are really limited count maybe upto 4 different types have a integer field which links to a reference table as above have bit fields which can be used to check if it gets in one of the group types have a full text option like above Im open for any type of suggestions and i would love to hear the reasons why its picked TY
Hi there, I believe this is simple requirement but to me it seems to be complicated. My data source is excel. I would like to configure the path of my data source in SSIS Package and file name is not a constant value. SSIS package should pick the file named as Today's (current) date from the configured path. As well, package should catch the exception for example file not found and log into custom log. It would be gr8 if some body helps me out.
I've created a solution with 5 packages in. I've scripted a config file for each package where I would be able to change the source file connection and the database servers (source and destination). On the first package, I am able to change the config attributes and the affects are picked up, but the rest of the packages do no pick up the changes.
For example, if the source file is "C:Filessource.txt" and this is changed to "C:Filessource123.txt" (Just to make sure it fails) it wont pick up the new changes and still uses "C:Filessource.txt".
Also, I tried changing the name of config file itself and the package still ran as if nothing had changed. It's as if it's not recognising the config file.
I cannot seem to get the report to pick up the custom style sheet I placed into Reporting servicesReportServerStyles subdirectory. Nor will it pick up any changes to the HTMLViewer.css either. The report obviously isn't looking there perhaps? I've used the http: etc. ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%reportname%&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rs:Command=Render&rc:StyleSheet=MyStyleSheetname
I've even modified the HTMLViewer.css file as well. Nothing. Nada. Is there somewhere else this is cached? Or some way I can find where the report looks for this?
My package is having .csv file as a source and I kept OLEDB destination to load it.
Stored the .csv file in a shared folder and the exact path is given in Enumerator configuration of the foreach loop container. When I execute my package, it is giving the warning as below:
It is saying that file is not there in the specified path and directory is empty. I am running the SSIS package from TFS. I am sure that I have read and write access for the shared folder for my userID. Is there any access there to pick up this file from path.
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip" or "tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip" or "airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234 123 12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

i.e i wanted to represent data by quarter and year and group by quarter and year for interest_payment column but for balance i need to pick up the value from the first reporting date in that quarter ,so as you can see q1-2004 has 10,15 and 20 but only 10 is accounted as that was the first reporting date in that quarter
I have my query working for interest payment but i am not sure how do i pickup the first reporting value for balance in a quarter
SELECT report_year as "@date",'Q'+CAST(report_quarter+1 as varchar(1)) as "@quarter", SUM(a.balance) as "@balance", SUM(a.interest_payment) as "@interest_payment" FROM (SELECT *, (reporting_date%100 - 1)/3 as report_quarter, reporting_date/100 as report_year FROM employee) a GROUP by report_year, report_quarter order by report_year, report_quarter

While playing with SQL Server 2000 I found you can specify the selection criteria in either the FROM clause or the WHERE clause: e.g. select * from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key and a.field = 1
Is logically the same as: select * from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key where a.a = 1
