we have a business use case that requires a software dashboard to display the current production backlog in our small business. Using SQL Server 2012 Express.ABC Co is our largest customer, they order a large number of items in a monthly order. We send these items in several shipments during the month, so the actual amount outstanding on each ABC Co order slowly decreases through the month. These orders are stored in the following tables:
ABC_OrdersSummary - stores each order - order no/date/total amount
ABC_OrderedProducts - stores each product - order no/product code/quantity
ABC_ShippedProducts - stores each shipped product - order no/product code/quantity
Products - stores all our products - product code/price etc.
To calculate the current outstanding orders value for ABC Co, we need to get the total of unfinished orders, then cycle through what has already been supplied on these orders, and subtract this value from the total unfinished orders value.Is there a way to keep a running total in the ABC_ Orders Summary table of the amount outstanding on each order? It wouldn't matter if it only updated every 5min - it'd just be more efficient than 10-15 software instances all calculating it at once.
I wanted to know if it is possible to run a stored proc (report) when a new record is inserted / updated into a certain table. Also if it could do so for records with a column that meet a certain criteria ie. sell description like '%test%'
My ReportServerTempDB is full regularly .I had to shirink the database on regular interval though i schedule for shirinking on 30 minutes.But as soon there is any exception due to scripting the log is full and my all report manaer throws error. After shirinking the ReportServerTempDB the reports starts working fine.
Doe anyone know if any limitations with SQL Server Express may be causing this?
I have an application (a web service hosted on my local PC) that parses an InfoPath form and submits the data to a database (SQL Server Express). The problem I'm have is that new records are not always inserted into the database when I submit. There is an autoincrement ID field and I observed that every other record was successfully inserted (a day ago) and today I observed that the records were inserted intermittently. However, when I run the same application on a laptop, the records are inserted each time.
I posted the associated code on the Data Access forum but it occurred to me that it may be because of the nature of SQL Server Express.Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I have created calcalated measures in a SQL Server 2012 SSAS multi dimensional model by creating empty measures in the cube and use scope statements to fill the calculation.
(so I can use measure security on calculations
as explained here  )
SCOPE [Measures].[C];
THIS = IIF([B]=0,0,[Measures].[A]/[Measures].[B]);
Hi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date. So far all I know is that I need to use a trigger and the GetDate() function, but could any body help me with how to set the value of the column to getdate()? thanks for your help.
My predicament is - where do I do these calculations - in my vb.net code or in an SQL stored procedure?
My manager has handed me a task of converting an excel file she uses in to a web aplication.
While it has been easy to devise what should be the screens and how to capture data, I am struggling over how to code the calculations.
The calculations in excel are pretty simple. These are just sequential calculations (about a 150 calculation for average 500 rows). Mathametical operations include sum, average, max min - regular excel stuff. Some calculations involve vlookup (equvalent to calculation based on value derived from a reference table).
So I am stil wondering - where do I do these calculations - in my vb.net code or in an SQL stored procedure?
Since these calculations are required a produce a result in an online environment, what will be faster?
I tried to do a proof of concept by creating a sample calculation in a .NET class and an in a stored procedure. The choice is still not clear. SQL code execution time was not bad. But SQL code tended to be very messy.VB.net code seemed to be a little slow. But seemed a more organised to look at.
Any views that you can offer will be very helpful.
I need to calculate the overall GPA for a student in a particular class.
YEAR SCHOOL STUDENT IDENT GRADE TEACHER CLASS GPA 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher1 Earth Systems 0.0000 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher1 Earth Systems 1.6700 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher1 Earth Systems 3.3300 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher1 Earth Systems 3.6700 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher2 Elementary Algebra 0.0000 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher2 Elementary Algebra 0.6700 2007 Snow Canyon High Student1 321649 10 Teacher2 Elementary Algebra 1.0000
The problem I'm having is that a student may not taken the class for four terms (as in the Elementary Algebra example above). So I can't hard code it to sum the gpa and divide by 4; it needs to be the number of terms the student took the class.
Here's my sql:
select trnscrpt.schyear as [Year], school.schname as School, rtrim(stugrp_active.lastname) + ', ' + rtrim(stugrp_active.firstname) as Student, trnscrpt.suniq as suniq, stugrp_active.graden as Grade, trnscrpt.teachname as Teacher, trnscrpt.descript as Class, gpamarks.gpavallvl0 AS GPA
from dbo.trnscrpt inner join dbo.stugrp_active on trnscrpt.suniq = stugrp_active.suniq INNER JOIN school ON stugrp_active.schoolc = school.schoolc INNER JOIN gpamarks ON trnscrpt.marksetc1 = gpamarks.marksetc AND trnscrpt.markawd1 = gpamarks.mark
where trnscrpt.graden >= 6 and trnscrpt.markawd1 not in ('NC','NG','P','W','WA','WF','WI','WP') and trnscrpt.subjectc in ('LA', 'MA', 'CP', 'CB') and trnscrpt.schyear = 2007 and stugrp_active.schoolc = 725
In period = 2, status code change from InStock to OutOfStock: Product 1 (Count=1) In period = 1, number of products with status code = InStock: product 1 and product 2 (Count=2)
sector RefDate price pharm 22 august 2007 100.21 gap 15 august 2007 10.32 pharm 21 august 2007 99.99 pharm 9 oct 2007 100.99 pharm 2 oct 2007 98.34 pharm 8 oct 2007 96.34 ...
I would like to have the result as follows: sector RefDate price priceChangeSinceYesterday priceChangeSinceLastWeek priceChangeSinceLastMonth pharm 9 oct 2007 100.99 100.99-96.34 100.99-98.34 100.99-lastmonth's price value
select sector, RefDate, price, priceChangeSinceYesterday??, priceChangeSinceLastWeek???, priceChangeSinceLastMonth?? from table1
My aim is to do something like what I have explained below and I was planning on building this logic at the Database level only rather than on the frontend code.
There are certain allocations(transactions) that happen on a periodic basis and I am storing these transactions in the PurchaseTranMaster and PurchaseTranDetail table. These transactions are categorized as 'Main' type and the amount could be allocated for one or many categories in a single transaction. Below is how it will be saved in the 2 table
PurchaseTranMaster
TranID TranDate TranType 1 14-March-2008 Main 2 17-March-2008 Main 3 1 9-March-2008 Main
PurchaseTranDetail
TranID Amount Category Debit_TranId 1 1000 A 1 1000 B 2 2000 B 3 300 A 3 400 C
Now what happens is users of my application can make purchases under all these categories only until the Balance under these categories is > than purchase amount. The Balance is calculated as sum of all transactions. It means that w.r.t the above data the balances for each category is(this is not stored in the database)
A 1300 B 3000 C 400
So lets say a user does make a purchase(Trantype is 'SUB') of 300 under A and 400 under B in a single transaction. The data would then be stored in the tables as
PurchaseTranMaster
TranID TranDate TranType 1 14-March-2008 Main 2 17-March-2008 Main 3 19-March-2008 Main 4 20-March-2008 SUB
PurchaseTranDetail
TranID Amount Category Debit_TranId 1 1000 A 1 1000 B 2 2000 B 3 300 A 3 400 C 4 300 A 1 4 400 B 1
In the PurchaseTranDetail the Debit_TranId value means that the amount has been marked against the TranID 1. This TranId is not handpicked by the user and the system should allocate it accordingly based on the amount available for a particualar category for a Main Transaction. It means that before TranId 4 was saved in the database then the system would first check whether the Total available balance for A >=300 and B>=400 (in our example above it is 1300 and 3000 resp) Then if the Balance is > than the puchase amount then the allocation would be done by the system and this would be done against the TranID whose TranDate was the earliest, so thats why the Debit_TranId column has 1 as TranId 1 was the earliest.so logically now the balance for the categories would be (this is not saved in the database)
A 1000 B 2600 C 400
So next time again when a user would make a purchase(transaction) under A for 800 and under B for 1000 then if the balance is greater than the purchase amount(which in this case it is) the allocation would happen according to the earliest TranId and this time amount would be partly marked against TranId 1 , TranID 2 and TranID 3. The data would look like this
PurchaseTranMaster
TranID TranDate TranType 1 14-March-2008 Main 2 17-March-2008 Main 3 19-March-2008 Main 4 20-March-2008 SUB 5 21-March-2008 SUB
TranID Amount Category Debit_TranId 1 1000 A 1 1000 B 2 2000 B 3 300 A 3 400 C 4 300 A 1 4 400 B 1 5 700 A 1 5 100 A 3 5 600 B 1 5 400 B 2
I need to do the above taking into consideration that there could be multiple users making purchases(concurrency). Also I was building my logic on doing the above whether to use cursors or loops. I just need to know how do I write my stored procedure and what would be the most efficeint way of doing the above.
The design for creating the above sample tables is below
insert into PurchaseTranMaster values(convert(datetime,' 14-March-2008',103),'Main') insert into PurchaseTranMaster values(convert(datetime,' 17-March-2008',103),'Main') insert into PurchaseTranMaster values(convert(datetime,' 19-March-2008',103),'Main') insert into PurchaseTranMaster values(convert(datetime,' 20-March-2008',103),'SUB') insert into PurchaseTranMaster values(convert(datetime,' 21-March-2008',103),'SUB')
insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(1,1000,'A',0) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(1,1000,'B',0) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(2,2000,'B',0) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(3,300,'A',0) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(3,400,'C',0) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(4,300,'A',1) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(4,400,'B',1) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(5,700,'A',1) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(5,100,'A',3) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(5,600,'B',1) insert into PurchaseTranDetail values(5,400,'B',2)*/
I´m working on SSRS 2005 trying to calculate YTD for the total sale. This is what I got so far:
Code Snippet
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[YTD Amount] AS 'SUM(PeriodsToDate([DATE].[Year]),[Amount])' SELECT {[Measures].[Amount],[Measures].[YTD Amount]} ON COLUMNS, [DATE].[Month].Members ON ROWS FROM [SKY] My Date hierarcy is: Year Month
When running this query all I get is very small number for Amount column, almost zero for all months and the YTD Amount Column is only showing (null).

Hello Friends I have 3 tables 1) Product Id, ShortName 2) IncomingStockId, ProductId, Quantity, InDate 3) OutGoingStock Id, OutDate, ProductId, Quantity I need to get the results like thisProduct name, quantity in stock today the "quantity in stock today" = sum (quantity recieved) -sum (quantity sent) Thank you for your timeSara
Hi. i have the code : cmd = New SqlCommand("SELECT sales,country,year FROM salesTable WHERE (country = " & (CountryBlk) & " AND branch = " & (NameSnif) & " AND datepart(yyyy,year)=" & (YearBlk) & ") order by datepart(mm,year) ", cnn) cnn.Open() rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader( _ CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) While x < 12 If rdr.Read = Nothing Then Exit While End If varcount(x) = rdr("sales") TempMonth = rdr("year") MonthNumber(x)=datepart(DateInterval.Month,TempMonth) x = x + 1 End While
i want to calculate and put into the varcount(x) value all sales of the same month
I need to create a user defined function to calculation the difference between today and a future date. The result needs to be in days, hours, and minutes formatted as per the following example: 1d / 4h / 30m. I have a moderate level of SQL exprience. however, I would appreciate some expert advice as the best way to approach this.
hello everyone, I have a problem of calculating a date, for example, how do i find out the begining date of the week and ending date of the week for certain date, and how do i find out the beginning date of the month and end date of the month for a certain date, thanks
Hi All! I need a query to find all dates from today to one-year back. If I start from today day I need find all dates until 11/12/98. Thanks a lot. Greg.
I have scenerio that find out the Bandwitdh size between clint and server. I wanted find out howmuch size of data recieveing from server at a time. Any advice regarding this. Thanks, Ravi
HI, getdate() gives me today's date. I have a sql query which returns me a date. I want to see if the difference between today's date and the date returned by sql query is 12 months(1 year) or less. If yes I want to print it. (If the difference is more than 12 months or 1 year i don't want to consider that record.)
Example: how to do calculate: 10/05/2004-10/3/2003
how do i calculate something like this if I have the table with names and count? Name Count Percent Name1 27 4.69% Name2 2 0.35% .... Totals 576 100.00%
I am performing a calculation in both SQL and MSACCESS. ACCESS is correct and SQL is not. It is off by -.05 Here is the calculation:
Sum((ch.FaceAmount)-(((ch.FaceAmount*Ex.CAN_Exchange_Rate+0.005)*100)/100)) AS TransAmount,
Both FaceAmount and CAN_Exchange_Rate are defined as money in a SQL table. The ACCESS front-end attaches this table, so it uses the same columns in the calculation.
Now, I know SQL looks at money with 4 decimal places. The attached SQL tables in ACCESS looks at these columns as currency which I believe is 2 decimal places. I think this is where the descrepency is. But it still doesn't explain why SQL is calculating the incorrect total.
In the following calculation I am receiving my output as 000000.9000. I need it to look like 00000000.90. I cant seem to loose the 2 zeros at the end. Can anyone help me with this? Keep in mind that my output has to be varchar.
right('00000000000' + cast((st.rate_dlr * .01) * 10 as varchar),11)
Hi: I am having a problem with the Syntax. I am trying to get the daily value for a contract_nbr.

Hello experts! After surfing this forum and reading many articles in the web I still haven't succeeded with a certain calculation that I need to perform. Thus I wanted to address you to ask if you could help me on this one:
I have 3 tables in a SQL Server 2005 DB and want to carry out the following calaculation:
[sum of lmenge/lmenge]* [1/werksmassFM]*p_transpreis
However, whatever I attempt to do, it seems to fail! I am quite a newbe and was never focussed with such comprehensive statements before. I would appreciate any help!
My statement looks like this so far (without the calculation):
SELECT l.bestellnr, l.lfsnr, l.ziel, l.lfs_refnr, l.lfsGuid, CONVERT(NUMERIC(9, 3), l.werksmassFM) AS werksmassFM, ls.lmenge, ls.pguid_ref, p.punktName, p.holzart, CONVERT(NUMERIC(9, 2), p.laenge) AS laenge, CONVERT(NUMERIC(9, 2), p.p_transpreis) AS p_transpreis FROM dbo.lfs AS l INNER JOIN dbo.lfs_sub AS ls ON l.lfsGuid = ls.lfsGuid_ref INNER JOIN dbo.polter AS p ON ls.pguid_ref = p.pguid WHERE (l.lfsnr LIKE '%1253')
