Selecting Most Frequent Records

Jul 26, 2004

I have a reviews table where all reviews are submitted. On the main page I want to display the 10 most reviewed products. I have a Product_ID column in this table which identifys the product. How can i write a query which will select the product_ID of records which have the most frequent product_ID's?

I came up with something like this:

"Select Top 10 Product_ID, COUNT(*) AS Occurances FROM reviews GROUP BY Product_ID ORDER BY occurances DESC"

But it does not work.?? It says "Declaration expected" as error

SQL Server 2014 :: Selecting Records From Table 2 While Counting Records In Table 1

Aug 11, 2015

Table1 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 Like Records

Aug 31, 2006

This 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 Records In One Table But Not In Another 2

Dec 13, 2004

Hi, my sql is not too hot so i hope someone can help me. I need to select all the records from one table that do not exist in 2 other tables.

Here is a shortened version of my code.

SELECT DateOfStats
FROM table1
WHERE (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table2)) and (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table3))

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,

Here is a basic example of the issue I am having:

Selecting A Range Of Records In A SQL Statement

Feb 12, 2005

I 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!!

SELECTing 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
Matt

Selecting The Newest Records For Distinct Users
