Hi,
Below is my DB Table..
Owner varchar(500)
contains...
OwnerA
OwnerB
Book varchar(500)
contains values...
Book1
Book2
Book3
Book1 might be owned by OwnerA
and Book2 might be owned by OwnerA and OwnerB
So in the Table is this...
ID Book Owner
1 Book1 OwnerA
2 Book2 OwnerA
3 Book2 OwnerB
How would I output this relationship in sql?
Thanks.
I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.
I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Parts #etc
I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?
There are 4 tables:
Work Order Header
Work Order Line
Work Order Line Details
Work Order Line Requisitions
The Header has a unique PK.
The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique.
The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:
WO WOL WOLR WOLD
226952 10000 10000 10000
226952 10000 10000 20000
226952 10000 10000 30000
226952 10000 10000 40000
226952 10000 20000 10000
226952 10000 20000 20000
226952 10000 20000 30000
226952 10000 20000 40000
399999 10000 NULL 10000
375654 10000 10000 NULL
etc
Hierarchy:
WO > WOL > WOLD
WO > WOL > WOLR
It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:
SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No,
[Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No
FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Requisition] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order Line No_]
I have the query below which produces a succesful output but as there is more than one course date the month appears for example three times where there are three courses in Jan as the example output below how can I change the query to group these

Hi,
I have this query...
cmd = New SqlCommand("SELECT name, webd_category_desc.category_id, (name + cast(webd_category_desc.category_id as nvarchar)) as CNameID, link_id FROM webd_category_desc left outer join webd_link_category on webd_category_desc.category_id = webd_link_category.category_id where display = 'True' order by CNameID, link_id ;", SqlConnection1)
It produces the following output (trunctated by me for this post example).

Seeing that I had to join a few tables to get the above output, how can I now group on it to get the name, count(name) output I desire.I'm using ADO.NET in a VB.NET/ASP.NET 2.0 webapp. The data is in SQL Server 2000. I was hoping to do it in one SqlCommand statement if possible. I guess I can drop it into a view and then run my group by query on the view if I had to.
I am getting a variety of 'field in select list must be used in a function or aggregate' errors in the attempts I have tried so far.
Thanks in advance,

Hi folks. Hopefully this is a simple question. What's the easiest and most efficient way to group by a dateTime field in an SQL query? Here is exactly what I'm trying to do. I have a database table that contains transactions from an email maillog, so there are dateTime entries every second or so. I'm trying to build a query that will group a count of messages per hour for a given day. How can I make an hourly grouping of the total number of messages?SELECT count(*)
FROM emailTable
WHERE (delivDate >= '2007-10-03 00:00' AND delivDate < '2007-10-03' 01:00)
Thanks, Chris
is grouping by sub query possible?
ie.
Code:
select
(select fieldx from tabley where pk = tz.fk) as field1,
field2
from
tablez tz
group by
field1
this doesn't work..i get an error that field1 is not valid...so is there a way to do this that does work?
please realize that the above example is exactly that..and had i needed to do something that easy, join would be the easy choice..what i'm trying to do requires a sub query

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having much difficulty figuring out how to write the followingquery. Please help!I have this table:EventEventId int Primary KeyPatientId intSeverityLevel intWhat I want returned in my query is a list of all (distinct)PatientIds appearing in Event, with the *most severe* EventId returnedfor each Patient. The higher the value of SeverityLevel, the moresevere that Event is considered to be.The problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to (a) group byPatientId, AND (b) return the EventId of the highest-severity Eventfor *each* PatientId (Order By SeverityLevel Desc).So if my table contained:EventId PatientId SeverityLevel------- --------- -------------1 1 02 1 13 1 54 2 55 2 2I would want my result set to be:PatientId EventId--------- -------1 32 4since events 3 and 4 are the most severe events for patients 1 and 2,respectively.Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be something thatcould be handled easily with a FIRST() aggregate operator (as in MSAccess) but this is apparently lacking in SQL Server. Also note theremay be multiple Events with a given PatientId and SeverityLevel, inthat case I'd want only one of the EventIds (the Max() one).Many thanks,Joel ThorntonDeveloper, Total Living Choices<joelt@tlchoices.com>(206) 709-2801 x24

Hello,
I have a table similar to the following (XYZ). I would like to write a select statement that will return the count of the unique items for each user that also happen to be less than 1 year old. The less than one year old part is rather easy dateadd(year, -1, getdate()), but I seem to be having a hard time figuring out how to get my desired result without using subselects. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Dan.
So my goal results are:

I have a query where I have customers, date they ordered a swatch, date they ordered an item, and eh date diff between the two. I want to show the MIN date diff for each customer, and also show the swatch date and item date as well. But to use the MIN aggregate, it forces me to group everything, where I just want to group by customer, and have the 2 dates tag along, because i only want one record per customer. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this?

They need to be grouped by range specific to the alpha numeric part, which can vary within the same despatch. I was thinking of using a row over partition after splitting the numeric and alpha part and to check if they are consecutive and build the range. But I am thinking that this approach is an overkill and there may be a better way to achieve this in SQL 2012.

But if the % changes, from say .5 to .75, I would need the first and last month they were at .5, and the first and last month they were at .75

SELECT DISTINCT(column X)
FROM #InvLogData
GROUP BY X
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT X) > 1
One further minor problem: I need to make this a set-based solution. This table grows by a couple hundred thousand rows a week, a co-worker suggested using a <shudder/> cursor to do the work but it would never be performant.
I am trying to run a UNION ALL query in SQL SERVER 2014 on multiple large CSV files - the result of which i want to get into a table in SQL Server. below is the query which works in MSAccess but not on SQL Server 2014:
SELECT * INTO tbl_ALLCOMBINED FROM OPENROWSET
(
'Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0' , 'Text;Database=D:DownloadsCSV;HDR=YES',
'SELECT t.*, (substring(t.[week],3,4))*1 as iYEAR,
''SPAIN'' as [sCOUNTRY], ''EURO'' as [sCHAR],
[Code] ....
What i need is:
1] to create the resultant tbl_ALLCOMBINED table
2] transform this table using PIVOT command with following transformation as shown below:
PAGEFIELD: set on Level = 'Item'
COLUMNFIELD: Sale_Week (showing 1 to 52 numbers for columns)
ROWFIELD: sCOUNTRY, sCHAR, CATEGORY, MANUFACTURER, BRAND, DESCRIPTION, EAN (in this order)
DATAFIELD: 'Sale Value with Innovation'
3] Can the transformed form show columnfields >255 columns i.e. if i want to show all KPI values in datafield?
P.S: the CSV's contain the same number of columns and datatype but the columns are >100, so i dont think it will be feasible to use a stored proc to create a table specifying that number of columns.
Hi there, i have an SQL query which select the number of products and display them per sub_cat_id e.g.
7 french dressers3 spanish dressers1 english dresser
However what i want to do is then group those under the the main category (cat_id)
All descriptions are held in tbl_cat and and main category and sub category can be found by the cat_cat colum, if there is an M in this colum it means it is a main category e.g. beds, tables, if there is the name of a M category then it is a sub cat e.g. double beds, single beds etc.
Can anybody help me with my grouping nightmare?
this is the code i have so far
SELECT COUNT(tbl_stock.Stock_ID) AS TOTALOFSTOCK, tbl_stock.sub_cat_id, tbl_cat.Cat_DescriptionFROM tbl_stock INNER JOIN tbl_cat ON tbl_stock.sub_cat_id = tbl_cat.Category_IDGROUP BY tbl_cat.Cat_Description, tbl_stock.sub_cat_id
I have a table which lists manufacturers' products. Users are allowed to vote for the most popular item belonging to the manufacturer. Moderators assign the products to manufacturers so on occassion they may accidently (or deliberately) get it wrong. For this reason, the table also acts as the ChangeLog so if choose, I could instantly decide whether all changes made by a specific user should be dismissed. Product | Manufacturer | NoOfVotes | ChangedBy | ChangedTime

I'm using ID fields for Product, Manufacturer and ChangedBy which are obtained from different tables but have simplified the table to make it easier to read.
I need to retrieve each product in the table, the last Manufacturer assigned to it, with a total of the votes where the product-manufacturer match. The results should be: Product | Manufacturer | TotalVotes | LastChanged

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pete.
