I have table that I need to retrieve the top 2 records, the issue is I have 3 records with the same date, but I only want the first 2. Each record looks something like this.
I have to be able to add the series up of only the first two records for each id based on date. Here is a sample query
select sum(series), date from table group by date order by sum(series) desc
This gives me the total for all three and gives it to me in descending order. I need the records for set 1 and 2 of each of the Id. There are many records but the date and the setnr doesn't duplicate.
I have an unusual problem. I am using VB.Net 2003 and sqlexpress using .NET dataset to insert records into an timecards table. After inserting several records I tried a 'Select * from timecards' and the inserted records where not selected. if I 'select * from timecards order by employee' ( or any other field) the inserted records are selected! The table was created by an Access Upsize command.
I used Express Manager ( XM ) to try the select statements. That is how I isolated the problem. Even using a "Select * from timecards where employee = 'test' " returns the inserted test records. I found that if I use a WHERE or ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement to .fill the .net dataset, all records are returned.
I am familiar with DB2 but I am a newbie at VB.NET and MSSQL
Can Somebody please show me how to acheive this, using the order details in Northwinddatabase or any other good example. as much details as possible. Many Thanks!
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.Â
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
Hello experts,I'm trying the run the following query with specific intentions.I would like the query to return 5 results; i.e., 4 distinct and oneduplicate. I am only getting, however, 4 distinct records. I wouldlike the results from the '007' id to spit out twice.I'm not using 'distinct,' and I've tried 'all.' I realize that Icould put my 5 employee id's in a table and do a left or right join; Iwould like to avoid that, however. Any thoughts?SelectEmployee_last_name,Employee_first_name
I have a database table which contains customer orders. I am trying to code my SQL select statement to:
1) Only return records where the record orderdate is within the last 30 days
2) Between two dates, selected from the datepicker control.
With regards to issue 1, I could fill a table with all the records for the account in question and then for each record do a datediff between the records order date and the current date to determine if the number of days is within 30 days. If yes then add this record to a temp table and then set this table as the datasource for the datagridview.
Can anyone help me modify this sproc's Where clause or Joins to let (T) task records with a 0 to be returned? If I enter a ClientID I want to return only those task records with the ClientID I entered (this works). If I enter no ClientID I want to return all task records, even those with a 0 in the ClientID field. ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.CMAdmin @SID int AS SELECT A.CompanyName, C.FirstName, C.LastName, C.ClientID,Convert(varchar(10), T.ActionDate, 10) AS [Action Date], T.Priority, T.Status, T.Subject, T.Note, T.CompletionDate, 10) AS Completed, T.DateEntered AS Entered, T.EnteredBy AS [Entered By], CASE WHEN A.[CompanyName] IS NULL OR A.[CompanyName] = '' THEN C.[FirstName] +' '+ C.[LastName] ELSE A.[CompanyName] END AS DRName FROM tblClients C LEFT OUTER JOIN tblClientAddresses A ON C.ClientID = A.ClientID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblTasks T ON C.ClientID = T.ClientID WHERE C.ClientID = Isnull(@SID,C.ClientID)
I've got a product table in SQL 2000 that contains say these rows: ProductID intProductName varcharIsSpecial bit I want to always return 4 random specials from a query and can do this fine by using: SELECT TOP 4 ProductID,ProductNameFROM Products WHERE IsSpecial = 1ORDER BY NEWID() This works ok if there are 4 products marked as specials but the problem is i always need 4 records returned but if only 2 products are marked as special then only 2 records are returned. What i really need is something in there that says if <4 records are returned then just add random non-special products to make the total products returned up to 4. So it should always be 4 records but preference is given to specials if you see what i mean? Is this possible? Thanks
I have an incident reporting management application. People are supposed to report incidents by this application and every time some one reports an incident, they also select thier employee#(reqiured field). so how can write an sql statement that returns only the Top 5 incident reporters i.e going by employee number. Iam thinking of applying a COUNT function on the incident_id and grouping by Employee# but then how do i make sure that only the top 5 incident reporters are returned.
I need a bit of help with a join. I have 2 tables :
TradeSummary has fields : SymbolID, CurrentPrice, TotalValue
Trades has fields : SymbolID, TradeID, ExecutionTime, TradeValue
TradeSummary has one entry for each SymbolID, while Trades contains one or more entries per SymbolID
and what I want to retreive is :
For every item in TradeSummary get CurrentPrice, TotalValue from TradeSummary and also get TradeValue from Trades for the record for max(ExecutionTime) tables are joined on TradeSummary.SymbolID = Trades.SymbolID
Every attempt of mine so far returns multiple rows for each SymbolID - I want only one row per SymbolID
I am looking to write a query that returns all records Inserted in the last hour.
The problem, as I see it, is that the column I need to refer to is a VARCHAR() datatype. Can I convert from varchar (example 14:04:31)to a time value and calculate from this ?
I would like to subtract 1 hour from current_timestamp or similar, so that the query dynamically changed.
I am trying to write a query that will return a full record with a particular distinct field (the rest of the record being the first such record that includes the distinct field).
For example, for the following:
Fruit Like? Colour Apple Y Green Orange N Orange Banana Y Yellow Grape Y Green Grapefruit N Yellow
I would want to return (assuming Colour was the distinct field):
Fruit Like? Colour Apple Y Green Orange N Orange Banana Y Yellow
How do I do this? I've tried using a join (of all different kinds) with a subquery that uses SELECT DISTINCT but this doesn't seem to work. I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take the first found field.
I am fairly new to transact SQL and I am having difficulty retrieving the set of records I require given the data shown below. I want to be able to filter the records just to return the records that have the minimum securityorder for each unique secsyscode. I suspect I need to use min or group by to achieve the desired affect but cannot seem to get it right
any help would be appreciated
eg in the following secsyscode, securitytypecode and securityorder are integers and securityCode is a char(16).
Can someone help to fix this query so that it returns a 0 (zero), as opposed to a blank or null value, when case_id # 1049 record is not found. And if the record is indeed found it should return the case ID (numeric value).
SELECT CASE WHEN count(*) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE a.CASE_ID END FROM (SELECT CASE_ID FROM CASE_DETAIL WHERE CASE_ID = 1049) a GROUP BY CASE_ID GO
I need to pull records from single table such that I get a subset defined like this:
( acctcode = 'xh364' and product = 'T&E' )
And return all of the rest of the records:
( acctcode = '%' and product = '%' )
Can I do this within a WHERE clause, or will this require CASE / ELSE? There will be other specific acctcode/product rules that will be added later. I could do this with a UNION, but I need to avoid that if possible.
Dear All I need to cerate a SP that SELECTS all the records from a table WHERE the first letter of each records starts with 'A' or 'B' or 'C' and so on. The letter is passed via a parameter from a aspx web page, I was wondering that someone can help me in the what TSQL to use I am not looking for a solution just a poin in the right direction. Can you help.
Say I want to return only records with dates that fall within the next 6 months. Is there some straight-forward, simple way of doing so?As of now, I'm explicitly giving it a date 6 months in the future, but I'd like to replace it with some sort of function. SELECT DateField1WHERE (DateField1 < CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-06-03 00:00:00', 102)) Any help is greatly appreciated... btw I'm using SQL 2005.
I'm storing records that contain a date/time data type. I am needing two links on a reports page (asp), the first should return all records for the current month and the second link should return all records for the last three months (including current month). I have no idea how to just sort by month.
I'm also not sure what to include here in this post to help you answer my question. On the form that is submitted initially the text field is named "txtSubmitDate" and in the database it's stored in a field called "submitdate" and is 8 characters in length.
I've tried: 'SELECT TODAY'S MONTH SqlJunk = "SELECT * FROM eom WHERE MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1"
'SELECT TODAY'S MONTH and the last 2 months SqlJunk2 = "SELECT * FROM eom WHERE MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE()) OR MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 OR MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-2 ORDER BY submitdate ASC"
These are not working because it can't handle the change in year (going from january 2005 back to december 2004, etc).
I am using SQL Server 2008 as a back end for a Microsoft Access front end. I have created a report that is essentially a Bill Of Lading. The detail section lists all the purchase orders that are being shipped on a single load. The problem with the Access Report is that I always need a set number of records (8) so that the layout is consistent. So, if the query returns 5 records, I need an additional 3 blank records returned with the recordset. If there are 2 records, I need an additional 6, and so on. For simplicity sake the query is:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber=@BOLNumber;Now, I can get the results I want by using a union query for the "extra" records.
For instance, if there are 6 records returned for BOLNumber '12345', I can get the expected results by this query:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber='12345' UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null;
Another solution would be to create a temporary table with the "extra" records and then have only one Union statement. Not sure which is better, but I'm not really sure how to programmatically do either of these. I'm guessing I need to do it in a stored procedure. How do I programmatically create these extra records? One other note.... If there are more than 8 records, I need to return 8 of these "blank" records and none of the real records (hard to explain the reason behind this, but it has to do with the report being only a summary when there are more than 8 records while the actual records will go on a different supplemental report).
that above was my solution, get the relatedterms information and comma separate, and then put a # and get all the ids comma separate them and then put the in one field. then I can later parse it in the client
this does not seem like a very good solution ( or is it?) If posible it would be nice to get something like this
TermID, Term, RelatedTermsInformation 1 test RelatedTermsTwoDimentionalArray
but I am not sure how this idea could be implemented using the capabilities of SQL.
my other option is have the client make one call to the database to get the terms and then lots of another calls to get the relatedTerms, but that will mean one trip to the DB for the list term, and one call for every single term found.
What I would like to do is to have a TSQL Select return the number of records in the Result as if TOP (n) had not been used. Example:I have a table called Orders containing more than 1.000 records with OrderDate = '2015/07/21' and my client application has a threshold for returning records at 100Â Â and therefore the TSQL would look like
SELECT TOP (100) *Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc
Now I would like to "tell" the client that only 100Â of 1.000 records are shown in the client application grid. Is there a way to return a value indicating that if TOP (100) had not been used the resultset would have been 1.000. I know I could create the same TSQL using COUNT() (SELECTÂ COUNT(*)Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc) and return that in a variable in the SELECT statement or even creating the COUNT() as a subquery and return it as a column, but I would like to avoid running multiple TSQL's. Since SQL Server already needs to select the entire recordset and sort it (ORDER BY) and return only the first 100 the total number of records in the initial snapshot must somehow be available.
SELECT table1.col1 ,€™n/a€™ _response FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2
This is the query that get the report data for my report. Now I need to replace the second column with an actual response like €˜accepted€™ and €˜rejected€™. And these values should be a result of evaluation of this form
If(Statusarray.count < 1) Set _response = €˜accepted€™ Else Get Statusarray[1] Compare this to Statusarray[0] Set _response = some result based on comparision.
The _response returned in the query should return the actual response based on this evaluation where ResponseStoredProcedure is sent the current row value for table1.col1.
How can this be done in sql(using SQL Server 2005)
I am using SQL Server 2005 std edition SP2 on a Windows 2003 server. I have created a simple stored procedure that deletes all records from two tables:
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DELETE FROM dbo.table1
DELETE FROM dbo.table2
END
Executing the procedure generates the message "The stored procedure executed successfully but did not return records." which produces an error condition when run from an Access 2007 VB module using the DoCMD function:
On Error GoTo ErrorExit DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.OpenStoredProcedure "dbo.myStoredProcedure"
When the above VB code is run (it's part of an Access 2007 adp project connected to the SQL Server database) it takes the error exit and returns the "... did not return records." message. How can I avoid this?? Thanks, Paul
I'm using an objectDataSource connected to a strongly typed dataset to populate a GridView. I want to be able to show all the records, or let the user to select only those records that expire in a certain month. The expire field is of type date I'm used to all records being returned when a parameter is missing. If I have Select * from table where last=@last, only the records where the last name is 'Smith' will be returned if @last = 'Smith', but all records are returned is @last = "". But that's not how it's working with the date. I'm passing an integer from 1 to 12 in a querystring. I have the equivalent of select * from table where (MONTH([AD ENDS]) = @month)MONTH(datefield) always returns an integer from 1 to 12. If @month is empty, I want all the records to be displayed, but nothing is. If @month is an int form 1 to 12, it works fine. How can I get all the records if no month is selected? Can I have two objectdatasources and programmatically select which one populates the gridview depending on if I want to filter the data or not? Diane
I would like to know if it's possible to return a single record by joining the tables below. [Persons] PersonID [int] | PageViewed [int] =============== ================= 1 10 2 5 3 2 4 12
[PersonNames] - PersonID JOINS Persons.PersonID PersonID [int] | NameID [int] | PersonName [nvarchar] | PopularVotes [int] =============== ============== ======================= =================== 1 1 Samantha Brown 5 1 2 Samantha Green 10 2 3 Richard T 10 3 4 Riko T 0 4 5 Sammie H 0
[AltNames] - backup for searches caused by common spelling mistakes AltNameID [int] | AltNames [nvarchar] ================ ============================= 1 Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy 2 Riko, Rico
[PersonAllNames] - JOINS [PersonNames.NameID] ON [AltNames.AltNameID] NameID [int] | AltNameID [int] ============= ================ 1 1 4 1 3 2 This is ideally what I'd like to have returned: PersonID | PageViewed | MostPopularName | NameSearch ========= ============ ================= ================= 1 10 Samantha Green Samantha Brown, Samantha Green, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy 2 5 Richard T Richard T 3 2 Riko T Riko T, Riko, Rico 4 12 Sammie H Sammie H, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
[MostPopularName] is [PersonNames.PopularVotes DESC].[NameSearch] combines all records from [PersonNames.PersonName] and [AltNames.AltNames].
The purpose for this is that I'd like to cache the results table so that all searches can just perform a lookup against the NameSearch field. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete.
