Selecting The Most Recently Edited Item AND Selecting A Certain Type If Another Doesn't Exist
Sep 20, 2007
I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]
[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
Thank you in advance for any and all replies...

I want to figure out if a student has not been to class in the last 3 scheduled days. The days do not have to be consecutive.
I have 2 tables. One table with schedules and one with attended time.
What I really need is to the find the 3rd highest MAX() from the schedule table for each student. I was wondering if someone has any idea how I could find these record?
Example scheduled records
student1 2/4/2004 7 hours scheduled
student2 2/4/2004 8 hours scheduled
student1 2/3/2004 8 hours scheduled
student1 2/2/2004 6 hours scheduled <---Need this one
student2 2/2/2004 8 hours scheduled
student2 1/30/2004 4 hours scheduled <---Need this one
...thousands more...
It has been a real brain teaser for me. If anyone has even an inelegant solution, I would love to see it.

Hi,
I did some tsql a year or so ago, it wasnt much but it allows me to do most things i need to do in my job.
I have created a new database for bookings, each booking has all the relevant details and also the date that it will occur. im trying to create a script that will look for the 10 soonest dates that there is no booking for. at first i thought it would be easy, but now once i have got round to creating it i cant seem to think of a way to make it work!
TABLE: BOOKINGS
FIELD: DATE_BOOKED
has anybody advice on how i can do this?
many thanks,
Ben

Hello. I need to create a page with asp 3 and sql server 2000 that lists all the records in a table that match a date criterion, but when doing so I get an error "Error Converting datetime from character string"...
I've tried this versions of the query:
Code:
SELECT (...) CONVERT(DATETIME,PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE,103), (...)
FROM RESERVES LEFT OUTER JOIN (...)
WHERE (PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE BETWEEN '20/03/2006' AND '21/03/2006')
and...
Code:
SELECT (...) PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE, (...)
FROM RESERVES LEFT OUTER JOIN (...)
WHERE (PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE >= CONVERT(DATETIME,'20/03/2006',103)) AND (PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE < CONVERT(DATETIME,'21/03/2006',103))
I also tried adding " 00:00:00 a.m." to the dates to be converted in the second piece of code. If I recall correctly, "103" is the convertion code meaning "dd/mm/yyyy". That is, I expect people to type in a date like "27/03/2006" and get the table records from that date.
Weirdest thing of all is that, when using the query builder of a sqlsource control in Visual Studio Web Developer Express 2005 this following query works just fine as I expect:
Code:
SELECT (...) PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE, (...)
FROM RESERVES LEFT OUTER JOIN (...)
WHERE (PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '20/03/2006', 103)) AND (PAYMENTS_RECEIVED.PYR_DATE < CONVERT(DATETIME, ' 21 / 03 / 2006 ', 103))
Both the server and the DB are the same in all cases, but in the first two I run the query from a (working of other queries) vbscript asp 3 page.
I know that similar posts exist already (I've searched for this before posting), but I can't fix it, at least not with the usual answer on this one (that seems to be using the convert function as in the first piece of code). Thanks in advance!!!

A colleague of mine has a view that returns approx 100000 rows in about 60 seconds.
He wants to use the data returned from that view in an OLE DB Source component.
When he selects the view from the drop-down list of available tables then SSIS seems to hang without any data being returned (he waited for about 15 mins).
He then changed the OLE DB Source component to use a SQL statement and the SQL statement was: SELECT * FROM <viewname>
In this instance all the data was returned in approx 60 seconds (as expected).
This makes no sense. One would think that selecting a view from the drop-down and doing a SELECT *... from that view would be exactly the same. Evidently that isn't the case.
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks

Hello,I have a gridview bound to a sqldatasource control. I have an emptydatatemplate setup. In the selecting event, I make sure that an actual select has been performed (and not on null data); however, I have cancelselectonnullparameters set to true to stop it, because initially it will be null.However, the selecting event runs, even when I cancel it, the emptydatatemplate shows up. How do I prevent that from occuring?

Hi, This is quite an obvious problem, but for some reason I can't think through the solution. I have two columns, a datetime (datecreated) and an id (FK) othertableid (id)what I would like to be able to do is select a list of id and datecreated, but only chose the latest row for each id.So I guess it's a bit like a distinct on the id column, but ensuring the date returned is the top date. Please help

Hello:
I have one table and it contains a column named ID Number, and a column named Date. I have a Do While statement that runs a SQL select statement a few times based on the number of records with the same ID Number. During the Do While statement the information is copied into another table and deleted from the old table. After I look at the results, I see that at the second Do While loop, the data was not selected and the Select statement did not run... so the old variable value from varValue is used again... Any reasons on why?
Here is a code snippet of what is going on:
Do While varCount < varRecordCount
conSqlConnect.Open()
cmdSelect = New SqlCommand ("Select * From temp_records_1 where [id number]=@idnumber and date<@date", conSqlConnect)
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@accountnumber", "10000" )
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@date", dtnow )
dtrdatareader = cmdSelect.ExecuteReader()
While dtrdatareader.Read()
If IsDbNull(dtrdatareader("value")) = false Then
varValue = dtrdatareader("value")
End If
End While
dtrdatareader.Close()
conSqlConnect.Close()
'#####The information above is copied to another table here
'#####The record where the information was received is deleted.
varCount = varCount + 1
LoopAny ideas?

I have a tbale with maybe 30 columns and I'm selecting all where a
record number matches a parameter I've passed. That works fine,
however is there any way to do some conversions to fields when
selecting without having to list out each column? For instance
this is what it looks like now:
SELECT *
FROM Losses
WHERE @AppRecord = AppRecord
ORDER BY Record ASC
But I want to convert say one column, is there a way to keep similar syntax instead of listing out each column?
SELECT *, CONVERT(varchar(15), [Losses]) as [Losses]
FROM Losses
WHERE @AppRecord = AppRecord
ORDER BY Record ASC
And the column I'm converting is of type 'money'. I'm converting
it to get rid of the extra zeroes at the end. If you know a
better way to do it I'd be interested in knowing.

Hi
I have a content management system that I am building. My CMS has a
pages table which contains 60 fields, some are varchars, some are ntext
some are dates etc. They have field names which match their purpose
like varchar1, ntext3 etc. These fields are used up depending on which
template is applied to the page.
The templatefields table holds holds the information about each field
in a template. It's control type (rich text control, date control etc)
and the field in the pages table that the data will be stored in
(varchar1,ntext3 etc)
What I want to be able to do is loop through the templatefeilds table
for a particular template and then using the field name for the pages
table, go to the pages table and get the value to populate the control.
So to clarify, I would like to produce a stored procedure which outputs
the page field name (varchar1) from the templatefields table and
varchar1's value in the pages table. Maybe in a temporary table.
Is this possible?
Any guidance would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance

We are developing an Access application that will be used to run adhoc reports against a SQL Server table. Selection criteria is entered on a form, a passthru query is built on the fly, and the results are formatted for output via an Access report.
There are 16 different fields on the query form. Two are date fields (from / to), the rest are text. The user is required to supply a date range for the report. They may specify any combination of the remaining query fields.
Examples:
From/To dates, part number, work order number
From/To dates, location, operation, sales order number, operator
What is the best scheme to use for the indexes? One index for each potential query field? Or, a single index that includes ALL query fields? Or, some other combination?
I should also mention that there will be no realtime updates to the table. On a weekly basis, we will import updates from a mainframe extract (dropping the indexes prior to the import, rebuilding them afterwards).

Can anyone help me in finding out the database name?
For example, @@SERVERNAME gives you the name of the server
on which you SQL Server is running.
In the same way, is there any global variable which gives me the
name of the database in the context in which I am running my queries or stored procs?

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,

I wanted to schedule a DTS package to run on the last day of the month at 11:30 PM. I noticed that when you use EM to do this I scheduled it to run monthly on the 31st. Hate to ask a dumb question, it will run tomorrow on 10/31, what happens in November on the 30th, is SQL smart enough to do it on that date?

This is, I'm hoping, a simple thing that I just don't know how to do. But I've searched my books and read a lot of threads but so far, no luck in what I'm trying to do. Here's the basic layout of 2 tables from my d/b (MSDE):
tblCity
cityID (p/k)
stateID (f/k to tblState.stateID)
cityName (varchar 35)
tblStudent
studID (p/k)
cityID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
hometownID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
studFName (varchar 25)
studLName (varchar 35)
...
I *hope* that what I tried to do there is allowed. Basically what I'm trying to do is to tie the student to both his current City (by foreign key cityID) and his hometown city (also by foreign key cityID).
So, if New York is (127, 33, 'New York') and Birmingham is (1050, 1, 'Birmingham') (in tblCity), then in the student table (tblStudent), John Smith would be
Quote: 12150, 127, 1050, 'John', 'Smith', ...
How would I format my SQL statement to get both cityNames? I thought this would work
Code:
SELECT s.studID, c.cityID, c.hometownID,
s.studLName + ', ' + s.studFName AS studNameName,
c.cityName, c.cityName AS swapconNum
FROM tblStudent AS s INNER JOIN tblCity AS c
ON (s.cityID = c.cityID)
WHERE s.studID = 12150
Can I do this? If so, what am I doing wrong? Sorry, I'm kinda sorta new to SQL.
