I need to write an update query with multiple aggregate functions.
Here is an example:
UPDATE t
SET
t.a = ( select avg(f.q) from dbo.foo f where f.p = t.y ),
t.b = ( select sum(f.q) from dbo.foo f where f.p = t.y )
FROM dbo.test t
Basically I need to get some aggregate statistics about the rows of
foo and store them in rows of t. The above statement works fine...but
note how the two subSelect's have the exact same WHERE clause. This
screams at me to combine them...but how? I would like to have
something like this in my query:
SELECT avg(f.q), sum(f.q) FROM dbo.foo f WHERE f.p = 2
...and somehow store the results in t.a and t.b. Is there any way to
do this?
Hi, need help in this statement here. I have three tables here, i.e. Sales, SalesItem, & SalesPmt. I want to display a grid that shows the Total Bill and Total Payment amounts. My try is like this: SELECT SalesNo, SUM(Price*Qty) AS TotalBill, SUM(Payment) AS TotalPayment FROM ... GROUP BY.... No syntax error or whatever found, but the result of the total amounts is incorrect. Say the data of the respective table below: SalesItem
No Qty Price
1 1 5.00
2 2 12.00
3 4 3.50 SalesPayment
No Amount
1 10.00
2 5.00 But the result I get from the above query is:
TotalBill TotalPayment
86.00 45.00 Total Bill should be 43.00 and Total Payment should be 15.00. Apparently the problem is due to the fact that I and querying on multiple tables. The correct total payment amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sales items (15.00 x 3), while the correct total bill amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sale payments (43.00 x 2). So, what is the better way of writing this query?
Hi... I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc... ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan] @ClientId int, @UserId int = NULL, @HistoryId int, @ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.

DECLARE @Count int, @Sproc varchar(50), @Status varchar(200), @TotalCount int
SET @Sproc = OBJECT_NAME(@@ProcId)
SET @Status = 'Updating plan information in Plan table.' UPDATE Statements..Plan SET PlanName = PlanName1, Description = PlanName2 FROM Statements..Plan cp JOIN ( SELECT DISTINCT PlanId, PlanName1, PlanName2 FROM Census ) c ON cp.CPlanId = c.PlanId WHERE cp.ClientId = @ClientId AND ( IsNull(cp.PlanName,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName1,'') OR IsNull(cp.Description,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName2,'') )

So how do i do multiple inserts and updates using this stored procedure...
I have a table that is used for employee evaluations. There are six questions that are scored either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. I want to tally the responses on a page, but I wonder if I can do it without 35 separate calls to the database (I also want to get the average response for each question). I know I can do "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual1 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '1' " and then "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual2 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '2' " and so on. But can I somehow do the aggregating at the page level, and just refer back to a datasource that uses a generic statement like "SELECT intWorkQuality, intDepend, intAnalyze, intWrite, intOral, intCompatibility FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req"? If I can, I am not sure what type of control would be best to use or what syntax to use to write the code-behind. I would like the results to be displayed in a grid format. Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm doing a jsp with database using sql.. I'm trying to get the max of score group by name from this table: Table record id_no. . . .name. . . . .score . . 1 . . . . .Philip . . . . .10 . . 2 . . . . . Jane . . . . .12 . . 3 . . . . . John . . . . .15 . . 4 . . . . . Anna . . . . .11 . . 5 . . . . . Jane . . . . .16
I use the code: query = "select name,max(score) from record group by name"; resultset = stmt.executeQuery (query);
However, there is an error. It says, SQL Exception: Column not found
I've checked several tutorial sites and the codes there are the same command that I use. I've also tried using other aggregate functions like the sum, still the same error comes out..
I'm trying to migrate an app. from Access to SQL Server, and find that Transact-SQL does not support LAST/FIRST functions. Is there any alternative to these?
Below is the Access SQL statement:
SELECT Last(tblZoneNameString.Val) AS strZoneName, tblZoneNameString.TagIndex FROM tblZoneNameString GROUP BY tblZoneNameString.TagIndex HAVING (((tblZoneNameString.TagIndex)>0));
I have a database with the following tables: - programmer - software - studies(name, splace, cost, course) I would like to find out which school has the max. nr. of students, but my query - SELECT splace FROM studies HAVING count(name) = (SELECT max(count(name)) FROM studies) - doesn't works, becouse MSSQL doesn't supports nested aggregat functions. What should I do? Please help me, thanks in advance.
It's basically just cobbled together using the aggregate function and TVF in the StringUtilities sample as a starting point. Er, sorry MS, I forgot to change the namespace from Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.

To install the compiled dll something like:

Hi.Just as we have AVG(COLUMN_NAME) and MAX(COLUMN_NAME) how can I writemy own variation of a such a function. If I can appreciate how to dothis,then I hopefully I can write a MEDIAN(COLUMN_NAME) type function or amore general function like a 10% percentile function with syntax suchasPERCENTILE(COLUMN_NAME,25).Regards JC......
Hi allFirstly this my first time posting to technical groups - so anymistakes I apologise for in advance.I am trying to count records in several secondary tables for the samerun in a primary table. However, there might be no records in thesesecondary tables for the specific run. Hence the sql below returnsnulls.Select run, (select count(errors) from table2 where run = t1.run groupby run) as errors, (select count(user) as users from table3 where run =t1.run and user = active group by run, dd)from table1 t1(Please note the different group bys. )I do not want nulls to be returned but to be replaced with 0. I havetried the isnull function but this does not work. egSelect run, (select isNull(count(errors),0) from table2 where run =t1.run group by run) as errors, (select isNull(count(user),0) as usersfrom table3 where run = t1.run and user = active group by run, user)from table1 t1Nor will isnull work if I put it around the select clause.Any suggestions?Thanks for the help!
Do aggregate functions (sum, count, min, max) inherently cause tablelocks?More concretely, would the following query typically result in a tablelock?select sum(quantity) as totalfrom productsThanks,Scott
I have a complex statement that is used in a SELECT statement. Afterall my calculations I need to do an additional filter on the results.Can I use an alias anywhere or is the AS clause just for columndisplay purposes?Instead of:SELECT column1,column2,some_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statementsAS TotalFROM table_nameHAVINGsome_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statements[color=blue]> 1[/color]Can I have:SELECT column1,column2,some_complex_statement_using_SUM_AVG_and_a_few_CAS E_statementsAS TotalFROM table_nameHAVINGTotal > 1As I understand it, the HAVING clause is used for filtering AFTERaggregate functions are calculated so the alias SHOULD be available.
SELECT SUM(TOTAL) FROM MYTABLE WHERE DATEORIGINATED='11/11/07'
the above query will give me total for dateoriginated , but I am reading that dateoriginated value from another table and that table has multiple value of dateoriginated.
what I would like to do is to run above SQL aggregate functions query for two different dates at the same time and I would like to get total
I'm probably just being thick but is there a way to use conditional statements within aggregate functions? I'm trying to do something along the lines of the following -
Code:
SELECT SUM( CASE WHEN Currency='GBP' THEN TotalAmountCharged ELSE TotalAmountCharged/1.45 ) as total from bookshop_orders where year(OrderDate) = 2004 and month(OrderDate) = 9
I am having trouble with a particular query that is beyond my scope of understanding.
Basically I need to pull sales records based on the following criteria:
I have CustomerID, InvoiceNumber, ContractEndDate, MobileNumber, etc..
Customers recontract their mobile phone plans through us, and we have a new sales record for each time they recontract.
For example, CustomerNumber 123 has recontracted 3 times..
once on 2006-01-01, then on 2007-02-12, and finally on 2008-02-15..
So they have a 12 month contract each time.. then come in to recontract it.
So.. a customer has a single Customer Detail record, but may have many sales records attached. And a customer may have several sales for the SAME mobile phone number.
Currently to pull ALL sales records for all customers, my query is this:
Code:
SELECT xxx.CustomerID AS xxx_CustomerID, xxx.Invoice AS xxx_Invoice, yyy.PhoneType AS yyy_PhoneType, yyy.PlanType AS yyy_PlanType, yyy.ContractEnds AS yyy_ContractEnds, yyy.MOB AS yyy_MobileNumber
FROM dbo.SaleControl xxx INNER JOIN dbo.SaleDetails yyy ON xxx.Invoice = yyy.Invoice
WHERE yyy.ContractEnds IS NOT NULL AND xxx.CustomerID IS NOT NULL
We want to get a list of customers that we can call to recontract, based on the ContractEnd field.
However, we want UNIQUE mobile phone numbers, with the LATEST ContrtactEnd date.
So, Customer 123 has 6 sales, for 2 unique Mobile numbers, the sql may be like:
Code:
SELECT MAX(yyy.ContractEnds) AS LatestCED, yyy.MOB FROM dbo.SaleControl xxx INNER JOIN dbo.SaleDetails yyy ON xxx.Invoice = yyy.Invoice WHERE xxx.CustomerID='123' GROUP BY yyy.MOB
Now, this works fine, and of course if i remove the WHERE clause, it collects all unique mobiles, with latest ContractEnd date for each, for all customers. (Customer 123 displays 2 mobile numbers, each with the LATEST ContractEnd date)
BUT i need this information ALONG WITH the other fields (xxx.CustomerID, xxx.Invoice, yyy.PhoneType, yyy.PlanType) and i have tried a few ways of doing it, but can't get my head around it..
Keep getting errors about Aggregate functions and Group By clause, and i understand why i am getting them, just cant think of any alternative query.
Hi all!In a statement I want to find the IDENTITY-column value for a row thathas the smallest value. I have tried this, but for the result i alsowant to know the row_id for each.

How to write Aggregate functions for tables and lists as If I can write them many problems in my reports will be solved. I tried writng it in the filters but I got an error saying Aggregate functions are not allowed for tables and lists. Can any one help me in this regard?????
select max(PTR_DATE) from MPR_portfolio_transactions group by PTR_SYMBOL
and this is working fine, but if I add an extra column with another field like:
select max(PTR_DATE) , PTR_SHAREBALANCE from MPR_portfolio_transactions group by PTR_SYMBOL
Then I get an error message like:
Column 'MPR_portfolio_transactions.PTR_SHAREBALANCE' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Hi, Assume there is no sale with over 2000 units, the first query returns no row while the latter returns 1 row with a null value. I am not questioning the result, I would like to understand conceptually what semantic difference between the Sql99 analytic function and regular aggregate function makes the result different in this case.
select sum(Quantity) over() from orderdetails where Quantity > 2000
select sum(Quantity) from orderdetails where Quantity > 2000
Hello, I am working on a web app and am at a point where I have multiple rows in my GUI that need to be sent to and saved in SQL Server when the user presses Save. We want to pass the rows to a working table and the do a begin tran, move rows from working table to permanent tables with set processing, commit tran. The debate we are having is how to get the data to the work table. We can do individual inserts to the work table 1 round trip for each row (could be 100's of rows) or concatenate all rows into 1 long (up to 8K at a time) string and make one call sending the long string and then parse it into the work table in SQL Server. Trying to consider network usage and overhead by sending many short items vs 1 long item and cpu overhead for many inserts vs string manipulation and parsing. Suggestions?
Is it possible to do an update on multiple records. I have fields CusOrderID and CusCreditAmt in table CusOrder; and fields CusOrderID and CreditAmt in table CusCredits. I would like to update the value in the CusCreditAmt field in CusOrder to equal the CreditAmt field in CusCredits where CusOrderID is the same in both tables.
I tried doing this in a stored procedure based on a View with an inner join between the 2 tables as follows:
Update View1 Set CusCreditAmt = CreditAmt
I received an error that the subquery returned more than one value. Is there anyway to do something like this and make it work?
Writing this code using a CTE or any other method which do not use a table variable or a temp table as the users do not permissions to run this code from the application because of their roles which are required for creating and dropping the temp tables. I replaced table variable in place of Temp tables however the query never completes, probably because of the number of rows.

Is there a way to update all of the records in a table all at once using the results of a select of a different table's data?
For example. There are two tables, each have a primary index of catnum. One table (invoice_items) contains the line items (catnum) of customer invoices. The other table (sales_history) is a sales history table. I want to select all data from the invoice_items and sum the sales for various time periods (sales_0to30days, sales_31to60days, etc.) I then want to update the sales_history table which has columns: catnum, sales_0to30, sales_31to60, etc.). I want to run this daily to update all records.
Using SQL2000, is there another way of optimizing the original query below.TIA,BobUpdate Transactionset field1 = (select (sum(tax)-sum(credit))/sum(credit) from tblOrder wheretblOrder.id = Transaction.id),field2 = (select avg(price) from tblOrder where tblOrder.id =Transaction.id),field3 = (select min(cost) from tblOrder where tblOrder.id = Transaction.id)etc..(there are six additional updates)Is this a quicker way:Update TransactionSET field1 = (sum(tax)-sum(credit))/sum(credit) , field2 = avg(price) ,field3 = min(cost) , etc.....FROM tblOrderWHERE tblOrder.id = Transaction.id
I have a table used by multiple applications. One column is an Identify field and is also used as a Primary key. What isare the best practices to use get the identity value returned after an INSERT made by my code.. I'm worried that if someone does an INSERT into the same table a "zillionth" of a second later than I did, that I could get their Identity value.
Hello, i have a table called tblschedule that has field for resourceID, employeeID, and scheduleDate. And also i have another table called tblResource that has resourceID and ResourceName. The third table called tblEmployee has employeeID, employeeFirstName and employeeLastname. I want to get a report for each resourceName (not ResourceID) that per employee schedule (COUNT). I need the report has ResourceName field, employeeName field and count. How can i write a store procedure as it need join three table to get the count. Thank you very much!
