SQL Server 2014 :: Selecting Records From Table 2 While Counting Records In Table 1
Aug 11, 2015Table1 contains fields Groupid, UserName,Category, Dimension
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
Selecting Next 50 Records
Sep 11, 2007Is it possible to use a SELECT to retrieve a Next 50 set of records?

Thanks in advance.
Selecting Like Records
Aug 31, 2006This might be a simple question. I have a LIKE statement that is working fine, however I am not sure if something else is possible.
I can pull all records on a query for a person's name with a parameter value of "MARTIN". It will also pull records for "LYNN MARTIN". However, what if I would like to have that search also pull "LYNN M MARTIN"? Currently "LYNN MARTIN" is not finding "LYNN M MARTIN".
When the end user wants to search on LYNN MARTIN and that is what they input, I want SQL to find all records that match LYNN MARTIN and also find records that HAVE LYNN % MARTIN.
I hope this make sense? I guess I need to build my select statement using a WHERE LIKE statement, but I am not sure of the syntax.

Selecting A Range Of Records In A SQL Statement
Feb 12, 2005I want to run a query that returns say 100 records...but I only want to return first 10 for first page on a web page, then on page 2 the webpage will return rows 11 to 20 of the same SQL statement...page 3 returns rows 21 to 30 rows etc....(eg. like Google or bulletin boards, browsing auctions in ebay etc.).
I could probably get my application logic to handle this (ASP.net), for instance I could possibly get a datareader to skip the first 10, output the next 10 then stop for page 2 (records between 11 amnd 20) but is there way to do this in SQL Server at the database level using an SQL Statement?
I can use TOP 10 to get the first set of records for the first page eg.
SELECT TOP 10* FROM Suppliers
...but how do I get between 11 and 20, 21 and 30 and so on?
I've already mentioned I could handle this in my application logic, but then each time the same SQL Statement is fetching all 100 records, even though the web page will only display a certain range. I'm building an intranet website that can potentially run queries that return 100'000s records, even though initially only top 20 or so records are display, each page they subsequently go to will rerun that same query that returns all 100'000 records. So handling this as part of the query would be better for performancr I reckon.
Someone gave me the syntax..
SELECT *
FROM employees
LIMIT 10,10;
..but it didn't seem to work.
Thanks for any help!!

View 4 Replies View RelatedSELECTing Records That Fall Between Two Dates
May 19, 2008
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me write a SELECT statement to return all records (rows) based on whether they fall within two dates. For example, consider this table:
Code Snippet
--DROP TABLE #Records
CREATE TABLE #Records
(RecordID INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
StartDate DATETIME,
EndDate DATETIME)
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(1, '2008-05-01', '2008-05-12')
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(2, '2008-05-08', '2008-05-12')
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(3, '2008-05-19', '2008-05-22')
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(4, '2008-05-22', '2008-05-23')
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(5, '2008-05-26', '2008-06-01')
INSERT INTO #Records
VALUES
(6, '2008-05-28', '2008-06-01')
SELECT * FROM #Records
I want to return the RecordID for any row which span this week. I've tried the simple approach of using WHERE GETDATE() BETWEEN StartDate AND EndDate but this doesn't produce the desired results. For example, RecordID 4 spans this current week but is not returned (obviously) with this approach.
The idea is to show which events (rows) are coming up this week and next week. Eventually the data will be used to populate an SSRS report.
Hope that makes sense, can anyone help?
Thanks

Selecting The Newest Records For Distinct Users
Oct 5, 2007I have the following Table:DataIDuserIDTimeStampI need to create a query that selects the "newest" records for all distinct users. I'm hoping to get this done in one query. I know I could write multiple queries to find all distinct users, and then the newest records based on that... and so on... but I'm not sure that's the most efficient. I have the following so far, but is it the most efficient (I have indexing on most of my columns)? SELECT DATA.DataID, DATA.UserID, UN.vchName, UN.vchImage, U.vchFirstName + ' ' + U.vchLastName AS 'FullName' FROM [tblData] DATA INNER JOIN [tblUnits] UN ON DATA.UserID = Un.UserID INNER JOIN [tblusers] U ON U.UserID = UN.UserID WHERE GPS.intGPSDataID IN (SELECT MAX([tbLData].DataID) FROM [tbLData] GROUP BY [tbLData].UserID)
