Please Help: Needed T-SQL Query To Get The MIN(LastName)+' - '+MAX(LastName) For Each LastName Initial In The Db

Jan 13, 2008

My users wanted to view all the "FIRST and LAST" Lastname in each of the LastName initial in the database.
I have been trying to join/connect/subquery/merge/etc the following two set of codes but without good results.

Fist, i get all the lastname initials:
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT(LastName, 1) AS LastNameInitial
FROM Persons.Persons
ORDER BY LastNameInitial

Results to:
--------------------------------------
A
B
C
D
...
Y
Z


Then, i want to get all the FIRST and LAST LastName for each LastNameInitial
I only have this partial idea (can't get the rest):
--------------------------------------
SELECT MIN(LastName) + ' - ' + MAX(LastName) AS LastNameGroup
FROM Persons.Persons
WHERE (LastName LIKE 'A' + '%')


Only results to:
--------------------------------------
Abad - Ayun


MY USERS WANTED TO HAVE THIS RESULT (In a single query):
------------------------------------------
Abad - Ayun
Babaran - Buted
Cabaccan - Curugan
Dacquil - Durwin
Eda - Evangelista
...
Yadao - Yumul
Zalun - Zunajo



Thanks in advance for your help.
God bless!

Help With TSQL To Combine Lastname And First Initial From Full Name

Aug 16, 2007

Hello fellows,

I am trying to write a query, here is the detail:

I have a table of users. Table schema:
FULL NAME, LOGIN

example data:

Anderman John, AndermaJ
Williams Robin, WilliamR
Foot Jay, FootJ

The LOGIN field will be my resulting field after I run my query.

It has a "FULL NAME" column, and a "LOGIN" column. I want to extract the first 7 characters of LAST Name from the FULL NAME field and extract the First Name Initial(just first letter of the first name) from the FULL NAME field and then set the LOGIN field with the resulting combination. The FULL NAME column is in the order of LastName FirstName.


Here is what I have been trying to write:

Declare @spacePos as int

Select @spacePos = charindex(' ', fullname) From TIUSER

Update TIUSER

SEt LOGIN = ltrim(Substring(fullname, 1, 7)) + Substring(fullname,@spacePos+1,1),

where @spacePos <> 0 and LOGIN = ' '


Currently we only have last and first names in our database and we will keep it that way since we don't store middle names and hopefully that will not be an issue.

But it seems that my solution was not working since if the last name is less than 7 characters then it should only grab upto the SPACE and not beyond that , but it was grabbing beyond the SPACE so how do you fix that?

That is I want atmost 7 characters from LAST NAME but incase of less than 7 then upto the space found.


Any help would be highly appreciated.

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Improve Speed Of Initial Query Vice Subsequent Queries

Apr 23, 2015

I have a pretty large DB and a fairly complex query. If I drop buffers and clear cache the query runs in 20 seconds returning 25K rows. Subsequent runs are 2 seconds. Is this the result of the results being cached, execution being cached, other? Are there good ways to close the gap between the initial and later runs? Does the cache stay present until the service restarts or does SQL recycle the memory and if so, based on what criteria?

Help Needed With A Query

Dec 2, 2005

I have some data that looks like this:
field1(pk)  field2               field3
563136    199535840A    D2119562408    199615461C    D2119562806    199748610A    D2119547463    199748610A    D2368562278    200255598A    D2368562286    200255598A    D2468
Field2 can have the same value.
What I need is to return all records where field3 is not 'D2468' ever for field2.  So with the above data, I'd want the first 4 records returned, but not 5 and 6 because for those field2 is the same value and in 6, field3 is 'D2468'.
So, I can't simply say:
SELECT a.field2FROM table1 a inner join table2 b on a.field2 = b.field2    and a.field5 = b.field5where a.field3 not like 'D2468'
because it will still return record 5. 
Can anyone help me with this?  Thank you!

Help Needed On SQL Query

Hi

I need help here. I have two queries one on each server and one does not work the way it should be. Can some help me here in figuring out if both these queries are same or no. If there is any difference, what is causing that difference. Thanks

Query1:
SELECT Shipment.CountryCd, Shipment.City, Shipment.State, Shipment.CountyName,Shipment.Zip, Shipment.WarehouseCd, Phone
FROM Orders INNER JOIN ((NewWarehouse
INNER JOIN Shipment ON NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = Shipment.WarehouseCd)
INNER JOIN WarehouseCurrency ON NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = WarehouseCurrency.WarehouseCd)
INNER JOIN Warehouse ON (Shipment.CountryCd = Warehouse.CountryCd) AND (NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = Warehouse.WarehouseCd)) ON Orders.OrderNum = Shipment.OrderNum
WHERE BE = 5 AND AddressTy = 1 AND WarehouseCurrency.CurrencyCd ='USD' AND Active = -1
GROUP BY Shipment.CountryCd, Shipment.City, Shipment.State, Shipment.CountyName, Shipment.Zip, Shipment.WarehouseCd, Phone
ORDER BY Min(Shipment.OrderNum) DESC)

Query 2: (This is working)
SELECT Shipment.CountryCd, Shipment.City, Shipment.State, Shipment.Zip, Shipment.WarehouseCd, Shipment.Phone, Shipment.CountyName
FROM ((Orders INNER JOIN (NewWarehouse

INNER JOIN Shipment ON NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = Shipment.WarehouseCd) ON Orders.OrderNum = Shipment.OrderNum)
INNER JOIN WarehouseCurrency ON NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = WarehouseCurrency.WarehouseCd)
INNER JOIN Warehouse ON (NewWarehouse.WarehouseCd = Warehouse.WarehouseCd) AND (Shipment.CountryCd = Warehouse.CountryCd)
WHERE (((Orders.BE)=5) AND ((Shipment.AddressTy)=1) AND ((WarehouseCurrency.CurrencyCd)='USD') AND ((NewWarehouse.Active)=-1))
GROUP BY Shipment.CountryCd, Shipment.City, Shipment.State, Shipment.Zip, Shipment.WarehouseCd, Shipment.Phone, Shipment.CountyName
ORDER BY Min(Shipment.OrderNum) DESC

I am sorry I am not that good in sql as some of you may be. Thanks.

Help On Query Needed

Jan 14, 2007

Ok guys.

Lets say i have 2 tables. One called 'Leads' and the other called 'Sales_Reps'. When a new lead comes in would like to assign it to the sales rep who has the least number of active leads. If there is a tie, I'll just assign it alphabetically between the sales reps who are tied with the least.

Can someone point me in the right direction here? I would assume I'd need to do some sort of select count, but I'm not sure how to begin.

Thanks!

Query Help Needed .

Nov 20, 2007

Hi pals,

I need small help.
I have a table with data as follows.


select * from test_data

c1 c2 c3
----------------------
111 4 101
122 3 101
133 2 102
144 2 103
155 1 103

Now i need to generate a new column c4 as sequence number in the output


I need to get the output something as follows

c4 c1 c2 c3
-----------------------------
1 111 4 101
2 122 3 101
1 133 2 102
1 144 2 103
2 155 1 103

The newly generated column contains sequence numbers starting from 1 and the sequence should be resetted again to 1 whenever a new c3 value is encountered(for example when the c3 value changes from 101 to 102 the sequence should be resetted to 1).

Can anyone help me out on this regard.

Thanks in advance,

Query Help Needed! :)

Dec 4, 2007

Hi all!

I have been working on the query that is supposed to pull out data to do the following thing:

there are orders that are both complete and not complete yet in the same table.

there is startDate and endDate for complete ones and forecastStartDate and forecastEndDate for not complete one.

I need to pull out data from the same table but using two different conditions in order to create monthly income.

Is there any easy way of doing it? Or do i need to separate my main table. However the last would result in me changing the whole application because of one stupid statement!


Thanks for help.
