In a single table I have 2 columns.
Date | Number
2006/09/01 - 235
2006/09/03 - 245
2009/08/01 - 230
I want to write a query that will return the AVG number between two dates. I am assuming this will require a JOIN but I'm having problems implementing my solution. I think about it, it's probably not a join but a sub query...
I was trying the following:
SELECT Date, AVG(Number) as AVERAGE_NUMBER
FROM test.Table
WHERE ( Date>='09/01/2006' AND DATE<='09/04/2006' )
But I keep getting date is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate funtion or a group by clause. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,We are in the process of buying a new server to run mssql. Howeverbefore this as a tempory fix to using a msaccess backend i believethrough odbc i need to address the following issue:SELECT ai.entry_date as CallTime,ai.agent_login as AgentsLogin,ai.campaign as MarketingCampaign,ai.agent_input2 as ProductsSold,ai.first_name as Cust_FirstName,ai.last_name as Cust_LastName,ai.agent_input1 as Cust_PersonalNumber,ai.street_address as Cust_AddressStreet,ai.city as Cust_AddressCity,ai.state as Cust_AddressState,ai.zip as Cust_AddressZIP,rec.file_name as AgreementRecordingFileFROM agent_input ai, leads l, recordings recWHERE ai.whole_phone_number = l.whole_phone_number ANDl.call_status = 1110 ANDrec.whole_phone_number = l.whole_phone_number ANDrec.last_name = l.last_name ANDrec.agent = ai.agent_login ANDrec.campaign = l.campaign ANDlast_call_date between #04/24/2006 12:00 AM# and #04/25/2006 11:59 PM#ORDER BY ai.agent_login, ai.entry_dateI want to make the recordings entry optional so the same results comeout whether it matches a recording or not. If it does i want it topopulate the AgreementRecordingFile column above, if not just put a ''as you would with '' as AgreementRecordFile.Does anyone know how you can do this, in a access based database systemusing SQL through i believe ODBC?ThanksDavid
I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday) 1 1 a b c d e m 1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null) but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
I don't know if it's Friday or what, but I can't for the life of me come up with an easy way to do this:
I have 3 tables I want to join:
Sale Table: Sale_No Cus_No Sale_Qty 1 Joe01 250
Order Table: Ord_No Sale_No Order_Qty ShipToCode 1 1 20 DestA 2 1 20 DestA 3 1 20 DestA 4 1 20 DestB 5 1 20 DestB
ShipTo Table:
Cus_No ShipToCode ShipToName Joe01 DestA Philadelphia Joe01 DestB Chicago Bob01 DestA Boston
A sale for say 100 tons would have 5 orders (each for 20 tons) associated with it by Sale_No. Each of those orders can go to a different ShipTo destination. Since only the ShipTo Code is stored in the Orders table, I need to get the ShipToName. However, As demonstrated in the example table above, the key in the ShipTo table is both Cus_No AND ShipToCode.
I want a list of Sales and Orders, which is an inner join on Sale_No, piece of cake. However, I then need to use the ShipTo table to go from the ShipToCode to the ShipToName. Unfortunately, Cus_No is not in the Orders table, it is back in the Sales table (proper normalization is a pain sometimes).
What I came up with is this, but is this correct?:
FROM Sales INNER JOIN Orders ON Sales.sale_no = Orders.sale_no INNER JOIN ShipTo ON Orders.ShipToCode = ShipTo.ShipToCode AND Sales.cus_no = ShipTo.cus_no
Which is of messages in a mailbox system, the MessageNum is my primary key, MailboxNum indicates which mailbox it is for and State indicates whether it is 'New' (value = 1) or 'Saved' (value = 0).
What I want to do is write a query to obtain a list of mailboxes, along with how many New and how many Saved messages they have, producing a result table like this:
My problem is I cannot seem to get my SQL right, so far I've got:
PHP Code:
SELECT NewQuery.MailboxNum, NewQuery.NewCount, SavedQuery.SavedCount FROM (SELECT MailboxNum, COUNT(1) AS NewCount FROM VMailMessages WHERE (State = '1') GROUP BY MailboxNum) NewQuery FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT MailboxNum, COUNT(1) AS SavedCount FROM VMailMessages WHERE (State = '0') GROUP BY MailboxNum) SavedQuery ON NewQuery.MailboxNum = SavedQuery.MailboxNum
WHich works only if the mailbox has New messages as well as Saved messages. For mailboxes with only Saved messages, the count appears but, the MailboxNum is NULL. The opposite occurs if I change my SELECT clause to ask for SavedQuery.MailboxNum, but I really want both.
I feel like this is an easy question, but I can't describe it well enough to find the answer I need by searching. Anyway, in my spare time (I'm definitely not a SQL Query pro) I'm putting together a small app for our local Little League to help with scheduling.
I have 2 tables I need to join:
T1 = Schedule has the following fields: ID hTeamID (ID of Home team) vTeamID (ID of Vistor team) Time Date
T2 = Teams ID Name Other info...
I want to be able to do a SELECT statement on the schedule table and JOIN the team names for both home and visitor. I've tried a bunch of different ways but keep getting errors. I can think of 100's of reasons to join the same table more than once, but I still don't know how to and can't find the answer online.
I have listed two tables table 1 has some data. I have to update table 2 [reports] column from table 1 [reports] using self join..I should get as table 2 after updating
I've got a simple ( I think) question on views. I've got a view that has a table join in it. With this view, we want to be able to perform updates, inserts, and deletes. At this time we can do the updates and inserts, but not deletes. I've checked the permissions and the users have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Am I missing something or are deletes just not possible in a view with a join?
CREATE VIEW update_bd_view AS select D.BD_ID, D.BD_DESC, T.BT_TYPE_TID, T.BT_TYPE_FID, T.BT_JOB_FID FROM BILLING_DESC D JOIN BILLING_TIME T ON D.BD_ID=T.BT_ID GO
Please see the attached word file. It has screen shots of the query I am running. My first query shows the result where i have M.ReservationID = MA.MeetingID and it counts NoofRSVP (# of times the query runs). I have to modify first query in such a way that it returns records from eCDReservations table even if there is no matching MeetingID in MeetingAttendees table (means Null, see the result of 2nd query in attached file). So in my result for that case NoofRSVP column should show either Null or 0.
Two tables:FruitfruitID, fruitNameBasketbuyerID, fruitID(ie. we can see which buyer has what fruit in their basket)I simply want to display all available fruit and whether or not it'sin a specific persons' basket.SELECT Fruit.fruitID, Fruit.fruitName, IsNull(buyerID, 0)FROM Fruit INNER JOIN Basket ON Fruit.fruitID = Basket.fruitIDWHERE Basket.buyerID = 12but this just gives me what's in buyer 12s' basket.What am I doing wrong? Am I a basket case...
This simple query is designed to show all members with the same first name as other members. The result I got shows duplicates of existing members an inconsistent number of times even though I specified not to show duplicates with WHERE m1.MemberID <> m2.MemberID

Any help in explaining where I have gone wrong here would be greatly appreciated.
select pname, cname from parent table a, child_table b where a.pid = b.pid
Except! Instead of getting the results in the form of:
Ben ben_Child1 Ben ben_Child2 Ben ben_Child3 ...
I would like them in
Ben ben_Child1 ben_Child2
Now normally this would be impossible (I think) since the query would return an unknown number of columns. But in this case I only care about the FIRST TWO children for each parent. So I'm sure there's some way to do this with a simple select, but I don't know how. Anyone?
SELECT task1_.Start as y0_, count(this_.FirstName) as y1_ FROM t_contact this_ inner join t_task task1_ on this_.TaskId=task1_.Id GROUP BY task1_.Start
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table. The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table. The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
A piece of software I wrote starting timing out on a query that left outer joins a table to a view. Both the table and view have approximately the same number of rows (about 170000).
The table has 2 very similar columns, one is a varchar(1) and another is varchar(100). Neither are included in any index and beyond the size difference, the columns have the same properties. One of the employees here uses the varchar(1) column (called miscsearch) to tag large sets of rows to perform some action on. In this case, he had set 9000 rows miscsearch value to "g". The query then should join the table and view for all rows where miscsearch is set to g in the table. This query takes at least 20 minutes to run (I stopped it at this point).
If I remove the "where" clause and join all rows in the two tables, the query completes in about 20 seconds. If set the varchar(100) column (called descrip) to "g" for the same rows set via miscsearch, the query completes in about 20 seconds.
If I force the join type to a hash join, the query completes using miscsearch in about 30 seconds.
So, this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER HASH JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
and this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE descrip = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
But this does't:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
What should I be looking for here to understand why this is happening?
I have 2 tables, I will add sample data to them to help me explain...Table1(Fields: A, B)=====1,One2,Two3,ThreeTable2(Fields: A,B)=====2,deux9,neufI want to create a query that will only return data so long as the key(Field A) is on both tables, if not, return nothing. How can I dothis? I am thnking about using a 'JOIN' but not sure how to implementit...i.e: 2 would return data- but 9 would not...any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to make a single display page for an author's books.the books page only displays books of a type "type" (novels, non-fiction, etc)I would like to make it so that it can also show all books if "type" isn't selected. I THOUGHT the string would look like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDSBooks" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csK2Reader %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Books] ( If @Type <> "" then WHERE ([Type] = @Type)) ORDER BY [SortDate] DESC"> But it doesn't seem to want to work. I get a "server tag is not well formed" error.
I have a table called "member" that has two fields (amongst others) called "firstname" and "city"I want to return a list that sorts people who live in the same city, but does not return people who do not have a city in common.For example if this is my data:Karen - ParisMike - RomeTim - Dallas
Jim - ParisChris - DallasJohn - ManhattanSarah - OrlandoDavid - DallasThe query would return this:Dallas - ChrisDallas - DavidDallas - TimParis - JimParis - KarenI have this SQL so far: Select city, firstname From member Order By city, firstnamebut it includes all the cities including those that only have 1 resident.Can someone tell me how to do this?Thanks a lot,Chris

Hi All Can anyone tell me what this simple SQL query would be: Find all the words "black", "dvd" and "player" from any of the fields "Product", "Brand" or "Description".
I am trying to select players from a database based on the userid not having any user's name in it with an order by ASC. I basically want all the players that haven't been taken. Here is what I came up with and it gives me empty.
strSQLA="SELECT UserID, playerName from Allplayers WHERE UserID = '' ORDER BY playername ASC"
I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere. That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help. Here's what's going on: I have a "Documents" table. Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table. Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships. Let's call that table BD. When I create a document it creates a row in D. Let's call that D1, D2...DN. When I create a benefit it creates a row in B. Let's call that B1, B2...BN When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table. Now here's what my challenge is. Suppose I have these entries in my tables: D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3 Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2 When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1. In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added. How do I write a SQL query to do this? Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3) SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL) Any thoughts?
I want to write a sql query for an asp page which will display only unique rows from the specified column along with the number of count for each unique row.
Example:
Table that I want to query
Last Name || First Name Gates || Bill Boyce || Mike Gates || Bill Gates || Phil
Results I want:
Last Name || First Name || Count Gates || Bill || 2 Boyce || Mike || 1 Gates || Phil || 1
I am new to SQL and this question may be most easiest to many of you. Here is what I need.
I have two identical tables (exactly the same in structure) having a compound primary key with a combination of 3 columns. Can someone give me the most efficient query that fetches all the rows from table1 that are not in table2.
from sales_contact sc , invoice i , invoice_line_item il , sales_region_special_section srss , sales_region sr , issue_date idd
where sc.sales_contact_id = i.sales_contact and i.invoice_id = il.invoice and srss.sales_region = sr.sales_region_id and il.issue_date = idd.issue_date_id and srss.invoice_line_item = il.invoice_line_item_id
order by sc.sales_contact_id
================
heres some of the result set I want only the records with the greatest id for each unique sales contact...

this would be an ideal result set using the data above...note there are situtations where there are n* for a greatest issue id.

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:
Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:
This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.
When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.
I am a complete newbie to SQL. I have a simple query to make in SQL, but I'm not being able to construct the statement properly. I've already tried googling this info, but with little luck. If someone could help me here, I'd be very thankful.
The problem:
I have a table with a list of questions. All questions have a serial number. The query has to return whether a particular question is the last one in the table or not (according to serial no.)
Logically, this is the query -
Code:
select islast = 0 if count(*) from question where serialno > $serial != 0 else select islast = 1;
The '$serial' part will get replaced dynamically before query execution through another program.
Any idea how to code this in valid SQL? I would like to make it a simple statement and not a stored procedure. Thanks.
