I have a date (my birthday). I would like to find the closest birthdays to mine, both before and after my birthday. I would like to list the people in my database who are the closest age to me, but in that order. So sorting my table by age and taking a row below and above my birthday is not going to work. This is because the three people below me may all have their birthday the next day, while those above me may have theirs years before mine.
Birthdays sorted by date:
05/10/1979 jim
12/01/1980 bob
10/04/1983 mike
10/05/1983 larry
11/21/1983 dan
12/07/1984 josh
05/07/1999 dylan
The order I wish to achieve is:
10/05/1983 larry
11/21/1983 dan
12/07/1984 josh
12/01/1980 bob
05/10/1979 jim
05/07/1999 dylan
I have a table with 257 mil records with latitude and longitude data.
My goal is to find the closest intersecting values from a locations table (88 rows) and update any of the 257 mil records that are applicable with the location_Name and Location_Group_Name.
The query I have works but doesn't perform well on such a big data set.
CREATE TABLE #Positions -- Base table 257 mil rows. Actual table has 20 columns ( IDBigInt PRIMARY KEY, LatitudeDec(10,6), LongitudeDec(10,6),
[Code] ....
Attached you will find the tables, test data, a function to measure distance and some queries that work but are too slow for this much data.
Im trying to get out all peoples names whos birthdays are coming up in the next 2 weeks, can anyone tell me why this : SELECT FullNameFROM UsersWHERE (CONVERT(datetime, DOBMonth + '/' + DOBDay + '/' + DOBYear) >= DATEADD(dd, -14, GETDATE())) AND (CONVERT(datetime, DOBMonth + '/' + DOBDay + '/' + DOBYear) <= DATEADD(day, 0, GETDATE()))returns nothing when I know theres a few birthdays that should be returned. Thanks Si!
I've got an employee table with a date of birth field in it. i need a query that will a allow me to list all employees who's birthdays are coming up the next 30 days (or 1 month, if easier). I've tried several approaches & am getting nowhere... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The package is corrupt, who knows why, who knows what. It was running fine but there was a bug in an active script. Having failed miserably to debug this (note the ability to put a breakpoint in a script would be nice and dear god do not ask for edit and continue in here, it is bad enough as it is!) i eventually stuck a ref to the winforms namespace and debugged with a hundred messagebox.show statements. I did try to fire up an event that would write to an event tlog and i'm pretty sure that that is where the main problem lies as the package is still trying to load/use/connect to some log options but it did run for a while after i abandoned this path. Either way, I need some clue as to what bits of the xml file i can hack cos that is all i can get access to. 4 miles of xml, somwhere within the errors below are related. Clue me please or its curtains. Note also, the package is corrupt everywhere - in bin, in deployment, could not the last good compile get saved somewhere for recovery purposes as opposed to being overwriten with the bust one?

I want to retreive users that had their birthdays 7days before today and will have their birthday 7 days from now (so 14 days in total).What would the SQL for such a thing look like?I now have ths, but that doesnt work when you are at the beginning of a month (march 1). So there must be a more clever way :)select firstname from userswhere (month(ud.birthdate)=month(getdate())) and (month(ud.birthdate) between month(getdate())-1 and month(getdate())+1 ) and (day(ud.birthdate) between day(getdate())-7 and day(getdate())+3 )
Hello, I just joined the forum and consider myself a SQL beginner. I have installed and supported, run backups and similar, but haven't done much with queries and scripting.
I have a MS SQL 2000 server with a company database on it. Amongst other things, the database contains names, birthdays and e-mail addresses. How difficult would it be to setup an automated query to run every morning comparing birthdays to the current date and send automated e-mails out to matching people saying "Happy birthday ...."?
I am doing a project on web usage mining of my universities server logs and im just wondering how i go about mining them in sql server 2005?
Do i mine them in one table? do i normalise the web log data? what algorithms will i use on them as im trying to get usage patterns from the users and also where most of the users come from.
I have very little experience with programming and data mining, but I am working on a project where I need to take data from one spreadsheet and place it in another. Since it is hard to describe what I would like to do, I will provide an example:
In this example, the data in Column 1 is always tied to the data in Column 2 (i.e., 100 in Column 1 means 200 in Column 2, etc.) However, the data for Column 2 is only available in SPREADSHEET 2; moreover, the data is not in the same order in both spreadsheets.
My question is how can I create some sort of program where I can transfer the data from SPREADSHEET 2 into SPREADSHEET 1?
Hi How do I get a nearest distance of a point? For example, I have two tables A and B and I want to find the nearest distance between the records of the two tables. In addition, one of the tables should also give me the distance. The data I have geo spatial data. Can this be done in SQL Help will be appreciated
Hi, I'm making a birthdays database where I want to list everyone in it ordered by the firstcoming birthdays according to the current date.
I have all the birthday records stored in a table called bursdager and the person name is stored in the navn column and the persons birthday date is stored in the dato column.
I'm having some problems, currently I have this statement:
Code:
DECLARE @tbl TABLE (navn VARCHAR(60), dato DATETIME)
INSERT INTO @tbl SELECT navn, dato FROM bursdager WHERE DATEPART(month, dato) >= DATEPART(month, getdate()) ORDER BY DATEPART(month, dato), DATEPART(day, dato)
INSERT INTO @tbl -- those are the one who allready have had birthday this year SELECT navn, dato FROM bursdager WHERE DATEPART(month, dato) < DATEPART(month, getdate()) ORDER BY DATEPART(month, dato), DATEPART(day, dato)
SELECT * FROM @tbl
It works *allmost* as it should-- except, it still lists the last persons who had birthday first, even the days after their birthday if the month is still the same.
I thought about adding an additional check: Code:
AND DATEPART(day, dato) >= DATEPART(day, getdate())
in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement but that won't be correct either because it then just lists everyone based on whether the day number the person was born is higher or less than the day number of the current date.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is there an easier way to do it?
I have a field with seconds in it and I need to disply it in hours which I can do by dividing it by 3600, but I am trying to figure out how to round it up to the nearest 15 minutes. I have tried a couple of things with ROUND and CEILING, but am not getting the right numbers back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Code: AccountNo StartDateTime EndDateTime 1234 4/30/2012 8:00 AM 5/15/2012 8:00 AM
Of course there are multiple accounts, about 2100 in this case but they very by time periods, and multiple start and stop dates for an account. I need to get the start times and match them w/ the nearest end times but AFTER the value of the start time. Nearest end times must be forced to correspond to the nearest start time but there are some start times w/o end times and end times w/o start times due to user data entry errors. I need a solution that handles this. It is ok w/ the customer to make the assumption of nearest times supposedly going together so they can show the users the errors. I am on SQL Server 2008 R2.

I have such a scenario: - two tables with record containing car vehicle number, datetime of message and other data like weight ect. - first table contains only two messages for one car per one day - second has many messages for one car for one day
I would like to get a list of messages from first table but joined with the nearest (previous) record for the same car from second table.
OK, this is the scenario. I have a database with many columns ( each a mean value and a standard deviation, and with it a set of coordinates that i want to retrieve ).
Then i have a value that i want to query with the database, by comparing it with the mean and its standard deviation, and it should return a few sets (lets say 2) of coordinates whereby the the value of the mean is closet to the one in the database, in order of nearest value. How should i do it, since i am not using the exact value of the mean in the database?
I know its a bit confusing the way i wrote, but anyone understand wat i am trying to say and can help, i am very grateful. I had googled around for answers but cannot find. Thanks.
ChangeID ChangeDate EquipmentID ModuleID EquipStatus 1 12/9/08 230 1789 Normal 2 13/9/08 450 1245 Normal 3 17/9/08 230 1789 Open 4 21/9/08 230 1899 Open 5 21/9/08 450 1674 Normal 6 22/9/08 450 2364 Normal
Given a date, what module was each equipment item in on that date?How do I get the date of the nearest previous event from a list like this? I got a query from one of the post in this Forum only using Cross Apply to find the nearest record from the above table based on Date i.e.
SELECT outerT.* FROM your_table AS outerT CROSS APPLY ( SELECT TOP 1 equipment_id , change_date FROM your_table AS innerT WHERE innerT.change_date <= @point_in_time AND innerT.equipment_id = outerT.equipment_id ORDER BY change_date DESC ) AS applicable_records WHERE applicable_records.change_date = outerT.change_date
The problem is I need to get this query without using Cross Apply as i need to use the same for the LINQ which doesn't support Cross Apply.
I found in another forum that if I take the seconds and divide them by 15 then round up and multiply them by 4 I can get this done, but I can't figure out how to work it into my select statement. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent is the field I am trying to convert.
SELECT dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID, SUM(dbo.SLPTRANS.TransValue) AS Expr1, dbo.SLPTRANS.TimeSpent AS Expr2 FROM dbo.SLPTRANS INNER JOIN dbo.INVOICE ON dbo.SLPTRANS.InvoiceID = dbo.INVOICE.RecordID GROUP BY dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID HAVING (dbo.SLPTRANS.ClientID = 405)
Is there a way that I can do this at the table level to automatically handle the rounding of seconds, etc. down to the minute automatically without having to use a trigger?
Here is a very basic example of what I am trying to do:
--example: '09-22-2007 15:07:18.850' this is the value inserted into the table by the code select getdate()
--example: '2007-09-22 15:07:00.000' this is the value I want to store in the table select dateadd(mi, datediff(mi, 0, getdate()), 0)
I'm having a problem finding the nearest age. If the last bday is closer then the current age, if the next bday is closer then current age + 1 year. I'm familar with dateadd, datediff and datepart. Here's some psudo code...
declare @bday datetime ,@age int set @bday = '01/26/1956' set @thisdate = getdate() set @age = case when next @bday is closer than the past birthdate then age(@bday) + 1yr when next @bday is farther than past @bday then age(@bday) end
I know there is not an age() function, but that's part of what I'm looking for. I'm also stumped on getting the nearest age. What I had only worked for part of the year, prior to around June 15th, (183 days into the year)
I would like to return the nearest date of Table B in my table like for
ID W001 in table B should return ID A002 CreatedDatetime: 2014-06-03 20:05:48.000 ID W002 in table B should return ID A004 CreatedDatetime: 2014-06-04 01:05:48.000

ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1 FROM testsupplierSCNCR I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page.

However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
