Select Only The First Qualifying Record In SQL Express
Jan 13, 2006
Not sure if my description was accurate enough. Here is what I am trying to do. I am learning ASP.Net and am playing around with adding photo albums to my site. I would like a page listing all of the photo albums in a details view. For each album, I want to list the album name and then show a thumbnail of the FIRST photo in that album. When the user clicks on the thumbnail, he will be taken to the page showing all pictures in the album.
My problem is coming up with the SELECT statement to return each album and ONLY the first photo in each album. I have 2 tables: albums and photos. Albums has albumid, ownerid and albumname. Photos has photoid, albumid, photoname, and photothumburl.
I know I want to SELECT albums.albumid, albums.ownerid, albums.albumname, photo.photoid, photo.photothumburl FROM (I am going to mess up this syntax because I am not in front of my dev computer) albums INNER JOIN photos ON albums.albumid = photos.albumid....
But I do not know how to tell the SELECT to return only the photoid's that are the FIRST photo in the album. I can get it to work if I only use the photos table and just SELECT albumid, MIN(photoid) FROM Photos, but once I add in all the other items I want the query to return (album name, ownerid, photothumburl), I have to put them all as "Group By" and the resulting group of records I get includes all photos regardless of whether they are the first photo in the album or not. Hopefully that makes sense to people. I really would appreciate any help you can give me. So far this stuff is really fun...

Greetings!
I'm hoping for a little insight for a novice.
Here's what I have:
1 table that looks like this...
Code:
rep_id answer
1 2
1 1
2 1
3 0
3 1
3 1
4 2
What I want is a recordset returned as ... (columns that tally the 1s and 2s respectively with the rep's id#)
Code:
rep_id total1 total2
1 1 1
2 1 0
3 2 0
4 0 1
What I can do so far is get individual recordsets returned for either total1 or total2 but not together.
Here's what I'm using for these...
Code:
SELECT rep_id, COUNT(answer) as total1
FROM myTable
WHERE answer = '1'
GROUP BY rep_id
and
Code:
SELECT rep_id, COUNT(answer) as total2
FROM myTable
WHERE answer = '2'
GROUP BY rep_id
So how do I form a SQL statement that will combine the 2 columns I have created into 1 joined by the rep_id?
To make it a little stickier there may be some nulls in the existing answers but hopefully that is not going to bung me up.
Any help will be thankfully received!!!

hi all!
I am using table variables instead of creating a temp table because it seems to be faster
But now I need qualify the table variable so I can join it with another table having a field with same name of a field from the table variable. U know if I can do that?
ex: with temp table
create table #tmp.... (F1...)
#tmp.f1
with table variable
declare @temp table(...
@table.f1 - can´t do it
the first question is if I can join the table variable with another table and how to do that qualifying the variable table, that is, putting the name of the var temp with the field, because the other table has a field with same name
thank to all and happiness for all 2004

Hi
Here is my example: I have the following table
ID Name Phone
--- ---- -----
1 John 1234567
1 John H.
2 Dave 9876543
2 Dave Smith
I want to select only one record of each ID, the output should be
ID Name Phone
--- ---- -----
1 John 1234567
2 Dave 9876543
It doesn't matter which record to select, but I need just a single complete record. I can't use select distinct ID because it will not show the other fieldnames.
Thanks

I have a sql query that looks for values in a few different databases....
is there a way to select the last record in the table b/c I am pulling the hours worked on jobs and one person may have 3 job titles but i want it to show the balance of hours under the most recent job... Instead all the jobs are showing the same value even though only one of them had those hours under it. I think a way to get around this is to select the last value b/c that is under the job title most recently worked and they are in order by timesheets which can be ordered by date...any ideas?

The developers of frond end ask to select only one row from one table, but many times, such as 10. That means the output has 10 rows and same.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Every hour we capture some values from our factory (position of pumps, valves, ...) in our sql server 2000 db.
Normally 1 record is added to the db.
00:00:00
01:00:00
02:00:00
...
21:00:00
22:00:00
23:00:00
All of these values are displayed in an Excel sheet. One sheet contains all the data from one month.
I noticed a problem last week when 2 records were added: first one at 19:00:00 and the second one at 19:00:01
We only want to keep the most recent record (19:00:01) in a situation like this but I can't seem to work out an SQL-statement :o
This is what we have know. It used to work fine untill we had 2 record being added instead of one.
SELECT TimeOfCapture, Value1, Value2, Value3
FROM FactoryTable
WHERE (MONTH(TimeOfCapture) = MONTH(GETDATE())) AND (YEAR(TimeOfCapture) = YEAR(GETDATE()))

Header H, Details D
WHERE H.HeaderID = D.DetailsID
AND D.DetailsID IN (SELECT TOP 2 DetailsID FROM Details WHERE HeaderID = H.HeaderID)
As I am dealing with very huge data it is taking very long time to execute.
Is there any better way to accomplish the task?

im trying to get the earliest record. data is below
note_id/ doc_received_date/ bankruptcy_date/ sp_recorded_date
2332/ 20090106<---- / 20081219/ 20090106
2332/ 20090323/ 20081219/ 20090323
2332/ 20090413/ 20081219/ 20090413
2332/ 20090507/ 20081219/ 20090507
because the bankruptcy_date date are all equal i would need to pull one record with the earliest date from the doc_received_date. The date with the arrow is the record i want. So basically i would like to show this result
note_id/ doc_received_date/ bankruptcy_date/ sp_recorded_date
2332 20090106 20081219 20090106

I am wondering how to select the Max date within a table where a timestamp is within 2 second of the other
IDTimestamp
1NULL
209/17/2012 11:04:32
309/17/2012 11:05:44
409/17/2012 11:05:45
So I need a query to return
IDTimestamp
409/17/2012 11:05:45
as 11:05:45 is the max of 09/17/2012 11:05:44 and 09/17/2012 11:05:45 and they are within 2 seconds of eachother.

Hi,
I want to construct a query that would give the most recent record. Table data looks like -
F1F2F3 F4
20016395074/7/2004 15:40:55
23516395074/6/2004 9:31:54
All columns are strings as the data is obtained from text file. Column F3 can have same or different dates. In the above data select 1st record as it is the most recent.
If data is like -
F1F2F3 F4
20016395074/7/2004 15:40:55
23516395074/7/2004 19:31:54

Hi there, it has been a while since i have posted. I am in asituation where I am stumped. I am learning to build a dts packagewhere I am connecting to a table in an AS400. This database is beingmaintained by an outsourced company and therefore I can't change thetable structure or even ask them to. Anyway, this table currently hasabout 104,000 records. I am building a package to check it and pullout the most recent records and put them where they go in my SQLServer 2000 tables. The only way I can think of to get the mostrecent records is to use a global variable in the package to rememberthe record count and then get those records from that record positionon. Problem is, I have no idea how I would go about selecting recordsfrom a record position. Does anybody have any ideas or should I beusing a different approach? There are no time stamps to work from. Iwas told that the AS400 records, including updates, are appended tothe table, which is why I thought this approach made sense. I wouldtruly appreciate any help.

I have a question about selecting only the first record in a group. Example: I have table A with primary key = 999. Table B has multiple records with primary key = 999. How can I match Table A 999 with the first occurrence of 999 in Table B, and then extract other field data (such as street address) from the Table B record. I have tried using the Count() function, but it seems that I can only do this using cursors.
Thanks,
