I need to select the last 6 rows from a table... I was doing it like this:
select * from table where id > (select max(id)-6 as id from table)
But if one of the records is deleted it will only show 5.... Is there any easy way to make it show the bottom 6 records?

I'm trying to write a query which returns only some rows in my table...
For example :
I want all the rows included between 30 and 50 from table XYZ
(30 and 50 are not keys but really the numbers of records)
Is there someone out there who has a hint for me???
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english!

Table 1:
AB C
114.7
214.7
314.7
Table 2:
ADE
11a1.2
11b1.8
22a2.1
22b2.3
33a0.6
I would like to filter the second table taking one row per ID of Field A (first table) and selecting the rows whose sum of E is equal to the value in field C; in this example the resulting table should be:
Table 3:
ADE
11b1.8
22b2.3
33a0.6
Total field E = value in field C = 4.7
Hi,
These aren't my tables, but lets dumb it down for my sake!
I have 2 tables:
CompanyInfo: IDNumber, EffectiveDate, CompanyName
TransacationInfo: TransactID, CompanyID, TransDate, Amount
There are several records in TransactionInfo for each record in CompanyInfo.
I want to:
SELECT CompanyInfo.IDNumber, CompanyInfo.EffectiveDate, CompanyInfo.CompanyName,
SUM(TransactionInfo.Amount)
How can I do this? Can I?
Ok so this is more then likely very easy for most. But for me it's hard. I have a stored proc that I've been able to get to retun just the top 10 rows and have been able to order it asending. But it will only return the top 10 and I need to bottom 10 of the selection.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER proc [dbo].[proj_ListFiles](@project_id int)
as
select top 10(@project_id) id, project_id, filename, contenttype, length
from proj_file
where project_id=@project_id
How can I make it return to bottom 10. On a side note about this, when it returns the recordset they all have the 'id' of the 'project_id' that I selected. Not that the side note really bothers me as it will not be returning the ID's to be visible.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

I'm stuck. I have a table that I want to pull some info from that I don''t know how to.
There are two colomuns, one is the call_id column which is not unique and the other is the call_status column which again is not unique. The call_status column can have several values, they are ('1 NEW','3 3RD RESPONDED','7 3RD RESOLVED','6 PENDING','3 SEC RESPONDED','7 SEC RESOLVED').
i.e example, this is the existing data.
Call_id Call_Status
555555 3 3RD RESPONDED
235252 7 SEC RESOLVED
555555 7 3RD RESOLVED
325252 6 PENDING
555555 6 PENDING
325235 3 SEC RESPONDED
555555 1 NEW
This is the data I want...
Call_id Call_Status
555555 3 3RD RESPONDED
555555 6 PENDING
555555 7 3RD RESOLVED
The call_id could be any number, I only want the 6 PENDING rows where there are other rows for that call_id which have either 3 3RD RESPONDED or 7 3RD RESOLVED. If someone knows how it would be a great help.

I've been messing around with ROLLUP but have got nowhere,I have this:
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @pivotsql VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @columns VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @selectlist VARCHAR(MAX)
[code]...
which works a treat - I just need a grand total at the bottom for each column.
I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?
Hi all,
I'm having an interesting problem. In my report, I use a table to show my data set. The borders of the table are giving me a hard time...
The problem is, I'm not being able to display the bottom border for a row, but only at the end of the page, causing the table containing multi paged report data to be seen inside a box. Just to be clear;
I don't want to display borders of each row
I don't want to display table footer in each page (Only on last page)
I've already tried to display page footer, top border. Its not the answer :D
Thanks very much...

Can this be done in SSRS or must it be done in the query? Ideas? Suggestions? See Example Below:
Current table look:

The Way I need it to look

Hello,
Does anyone know how to select rows by their position in a table. I need to be able to e.g return the 2,000th - 2,200th rows as a set. I will have many concurrent clients connecting to this table so I do not want to use cursors. The table is 800,000 in length.
Any ideas people?
Thanks,

Hi,
I want to select the 8 most saled products from large orders table... the problem is that when i use the "distinct" sentence (something like this- "SELECT TOP 8 distinct id, products, productid FROM tbl_orders ORDER BY id") I get back the distinct of any columns.... (and any ID is distinct, of course), but if i don't include the id's in the distinct sentence, i can't order by id's.
can i get the last orders, only by distinct product, and not by distinct id, and order them by the id's?

View 9 Replies View RelatedHi all -
is there a way to process a file x records at a time?
We have a table that I need to append to an existing table. The date columns are currently in char but must be converted to datetime for the existing table. The problem is I have bad data. There are 3 million rows where the date field isn't valid for SQL's datetime format. Since this is the data I have, I have to work with it. I would like for SQL to just insert a null if it comes upon a bad date. Currently when it encounters a field that isn't valid, it stops the process with an error.
I have tried to go around it below, but there is still something "hanging" I would like to be able just to insert one million rows at a time and if it errors, then I can look at the next million, find the error, fix it and continue on.
Any suggestions? Or if you have a better idea all together I would love to see it.
SQL Server 7.0, SP2

(substring(check_date,1,4) not between '1997' and '2000' or

I have to select rows based on if the transaction date = todays date.The column is defined as numeric 8 with 0 decimal.how to code for todays date with such a column?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHere's my current SQL:
SELECT
RN_TEST_ID AS 'Test ID',
MAX(RN_EXECUTION_DATE) AS 'Last Execution Date',
MAX(RN_EXECUTION_TIME) AS 'Execution Time',
RN_DURATION AS 'Run Duration'
FROM RUN
[code]....
Here's a sample of data returned:
Test IDLast Execution DateExecution TimeRun Duration

114572/3/2015 0:0011:40:0726
What I need are two things:
1. The query should only return one record for each test id
2. The record returned should be the most recent. By most recent I mean the RN_EXECUTION_DATE and RN_EXECUTION_TIME of the returned row should be the most recent in time.
For example, in the sample data there are multiple rows with the same test id (for example 10668 and 10525. The 10525 is even more problematic since its execution date is the same for both rows returned - the execution times differ. Again, I want one record per test id and that record should be the most recent in time.
