TSQL Query - I Don't Understand

Apr 17, 2008

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me understand why my query is not returning what I expect. When I run this query:

SELECT DISTINCT(TransactionKey)
FROM Transactions_Fact
WHERE DateKey = 14550
AND TransactionKey BETWEEN 1 AND 90000000
AND TransactionKey NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT(TransactionKey)
FROM tmpTransactions
WHERE TranDate = 14550
AND TransactionKey BETWEEN 1 AND 90000000)

I get 150 rows back, which is what I expect. However, if I leave out the 'AND TransactionKey BETWEEN 1 AND 90000000', then I don't get back anything?!?

SELECT DISTINCT(TransactionKey)
FROM Transactions_Fact
WHERE DateKey = 14550
AND TransactionKey NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT(TransactionKey)
FROM tmpTransactions
WHERE TranDate = 14550)


Any ideas as to what I'm missing here? It seems like it should at least return the same 150 rows. Thanks for any help.

I Can't Understand The Meaning Of A Prediction Query

Jul 27, 2006

Dear friends,
I'm reading Wiley's Data mining with SQL Server 2005... There are MANY things I can't understand about MovieClick example (Chapter 3).
I hope someone is going to help me with this troubles...

WARNING (1): I'm a dummy both with sql server and data mining.
WARNING (2): My English is not good at all.

Just two questions for now:

1) When I create the model to predict the number of bedrooms for homeowners, the book says to check BEDROOMS as Predictable... question: is it also an INPUT for the model, or PREDICTABLE only?

2) I'd like to keep this model (number of bedrooms.......) and make a prediction query.

- Query builder
- select case table -> Homeowners
- Drag the Customer ID column from the Homeowners table and drop it on the grid
- Drag the BEDROOMS column from the mining model and drop it on the grid.
- On the last row: Source=PredictionFunction,  Field=PredictProbability
- Drag the BEDROOMS column from the mining model and drop it into Criteria/Argument
- Add (i.e.) 'Two or Three' to the field Criteria/Argument

I execute the query and I obtain many rows in a table with the following colums: CustomerID, BEDROOMS and Expression: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
WHICH INFO DO I GET FROM THOSE NUMBERS? WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THEM?

Thanx a lot in advance, please help me!

Simple SQL Query -- Perhaps You Can Help

May 28, 2006

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?

Simple Query

Jan 7, 2005

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:

Code:


-----
| ID |
-----
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
------


Would return something like:

Code:


----------------
| ID | Count |
----------------
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
-----------------


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.

Simple SQL Query

Sep 19, 2005

Hi folks,

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.

What Should Be A Simple Query

Feb 29, 2008

I'm having a bad day as I just cannot get a query to work and its doing my head in and it should be a simple query.

I'll try and explain what I need.

Have a simple query with one join, this is it so far:

SELECT DISTINCT Replace(StaffName,'''''',' ') AS StaffName,OutReason,OutStartDate
,OutEndDate,OutStartTime,OutEndTime,OutID
FROM vwOutOfOffice
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwStaffList ON OutUser=StaffID
WHERE OutComplete=0

What I'm having trouble with adding to the WHERE is as follows, I need a list of Staff who are out of the office based on the various criteria:

Example
Current date=29/02/2008
Current time=14:00

Start date---End Date----Start Time--End Time--Should Appear
27/02/2008--28/02/2008--09:00------17:00-----No (because of date)
28/02/2008--03/03/2008--08:00------17:00-----Yes
28/02/2008--29/02/2008--17:00------17:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--12:00------14:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--14:30------17:00-----No (because of time)
02/03/2008--02/03/2008--08:00------10:00-----No (because of date)

There may be others I've missed but as long as the dates combined with the times match correctly I need the records to appear.

Please help before I end up putting my head through the monitor.

Hello,

You probably seen this Q before but I have no idea what to search and and therefor any direction would be appreciated.

I have three columns table, two are int and one is datetime (for sorting). I would like to query all values witch are unique within the two integers, however, in some cases data looks like this:
int1 = 1
int2 = 2
and another record like:
int1 = 2
int2 = 1

this pair should be considered as a duplicate and second record should not come with the results set.

Any suggestions?

Help! Should Be A Simple Query

Mar 19, 2008

Hi I've got what should be a simple query but I'm not sure how to write it.

I have a table which holds employee assignments to positions, which holds historical data.

Eg:

ID EmployeeID StartDate PositionID
--- ---------- --------- ----------
1 7663 23/1/2007 234
2 7663 28/6/2007 272
3 7663 1/02/2008 983
4 81212 2/03/2008 2888


Now, what I'm after for each employee is their current position based on the highest "StartDate" for that employee.

So from the above table I want the results:


3 7663 1/02/2008 983
4 81212 2/03/2008 2888


Can anyone help? Do I need a Group By? That clause always confuses me!!!

Thanks!!!!

Simple MAX Query?

Jul 23, 2005

Hi AllI know that I am supposed to submit a schema of my table, but it is a verybasic one so I'll crack straight on with my query.In essence I have a 3 column table called STOCKTRANS, which consists ofSTOCKCODE, TRANSACTIONDATE and TRANSACTIONTYPE.Each time a user orders a stock item I insert the stock code and the datethey ordered it into this table, egSTOCKCODE TRANSACTIONDATE TRANSACTIONTYPEIVP 1-4-04 1STP 31-6-04 8KGC 8-7-04 6IVP 11-8-04 8etc etcetcWhat I want to create is a simple query that informs what the last orderdate was for a stock code. As you can see from the above example, I mayhave hundreds of the same stock code with different dates so I thought thatthe following query would work:select STOCKCODE, MAX(TRANSACTIONDATE) as 'LastOrderDate'from STOCKTRANSwhere STOCKCODE = 'IVP' and TRANSACTIONTYPE in (1,8)But it doesn't.NOTE: the reason for the transaction types of 1 and 8 is because these arethe types I want. The other types are used for credits, returns, etc.First of all the above, brings me back loads of rows when all I want is:IVP 11-8-04 << this being the last date of order for this stock item.Just as a test I removed the STOCKCODE out of the select and found that Idid get my one liner, but for some reason I was only getting the last datefor transaction types 1 only - not the last date for a combination of 1 and8 transactions.Can you help??Many thanksRgds Robbie
