So as you can see, Phone contains phone number, Time contains time the number was called and [Result] contains the outcome.
Now I need a query that gives me all the Phones on which the LAST outcome was No Answer. I don't need the Phone if it had a No Answer sometime during the day but not the last Result. I just need the last result.
I need unique phone numbers obviously.
The Time field is DateTime. So am using it to sort right now. But I am pretty sure there's a better way.
I must also mention that I just have readonly rights and cannot create a new table if required.
Hello all, i have a question i've beenk thinking for a little bit andcant seem to come up with a solution. What i want to do is add a uniquecounter to a resultset in query. For exampleSELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC, ColumnDFROM AnyCombinationOfJoinsOrTablesWHERE SomeConditionIsTruewThe query above will produce a resultest of 4 columns.'A1', 'B1', 'C1', 'D1''A2', 'B2', 'C2', 'D2''A3', 'B3', 'C3', 'D3'......'An', 'Bn', 'Cn, 'Dn'Now what i want to do is add a unique identifier to every row. Theeasiest way would be to add a counter integer so the resultset wouldlook like1, 'A1', 'B1', 'C1', 'D1'2, 'A2', 'B2', 'C2', 'D2'3, 'A3', 'B3', 'C3', 'D3'......n, 'An', 'Bn', 'Cn, 'Dn'Is there a way to achieve this in T-SQL without using cursors.Thanks,Gent
SELECT MAX(CountCategories.countOfCategory) AS maxCategory, CountCategories.phoneNumber, CountCategories.category FROM (SELECT Categories.phoneNumber, Categories.category, Count(Categories.category) AS CountOfcategory FROM Categories GROUP BY Categories.phoneNumber, Categories.category) AS CountCategories GROUP BY CountCategories.phoneNumber, CountCategories.category;
As you can see I have a sub query that is counting categories for the same phoneNumber and category. I then create a Select query about this as I wanted to only return the highest result. However the above query is returning the same as the subquery.It isn't showing me the unique result for the highest count.
I try to search my data and sort the result by importance.
I'm using a MS Access database and my data (table1) looks like this:
Code:
ID NAME TEXT 1 Apples Good red apples 2 Bananas Fine yellow bananas 3 Yellow apples Great yellow apples
I want to search the data and get a result where the column "NAME" is more important than "TEXT". My SQL looks like this:
Code:
SELECT id,name,text,1 AS searchorder FROM table1 WHERE name LIKE '*yellow*' UNION SELECT id,name,text,2 AS searchorder FROM table1 WHERE text LIKE '*yellow*' ORDER BY searchorder
The output is this:
Code:
ID NAME TEXT SEARCHORDER 3 Yellow apples Great yellow apples 1 2 Bananas Fine yellow bananas 2 3 Yellow apples Great yellow apples 2
So far so good - the order by importance works - but I do not get unique columns because of the searchorder column.
Can I fix my SQL so I get unique columns where the last line of "Yellow apples" does not appear or am I lost in space?
select * from bigtable where product_code in ('abc','def','hij','klm')
I know that each of those product_codes will return a large data set. What I'd like to do is to run the same query but constrain the result set to a max rownum of 200.
Hi AllStrange request I know, but could somebody give me pointers on how I can put3 queries into 1 'thing' and then get only the unique entries from this'thing'.To explain, I'm using Excel/VBA/ODBC to query an SQL DB. The 3 queriesthemselves aren't that complex and all return the same 2 fieldsets of stockcode and stock desc. Because these separate queries might bring back thesame stock code/description I need to amalgamate the data and then queryagain to bring out only distinct stock values, eg:Query 1 brings back:stock code stock descIVP Invoice PaperSTP Statement PaperKGC Keyboard Coveretc... etc...Query 2 brings back:stock code stock descIVP Invoice PaperBOB Back PackKGC Keyboard Coveretc... etc...Query 3 brings back:stock code stock descKGC Keyboard Cover3.5"D 3.5" Disksetc... etc...I need to produce 1 resultset that shows:stock code stock descIVP Invoice PaperBOB Back Pack3.5"D 3.5" DisksKGC Keyboard CoverSTP Statement Paperetc... etc...(all unique entries)I'm currently just bringing back the 3 query results in Excel, but I'd liketo be able to do the above.In light of I'm using Excel/VBA/ODBC on a PC, is it possible to do?ThanksRobbie

A UNIQUE INDEX must inherently impose a unique constraint and a UNIQUE CONSTRAINT is most likely implemented via a UNIQUE INDEX. So what is the difference? When you create in Enterprise Manager you must select one or the other.
What's the difference in the effect of the followings: CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX and ALTER TABLE dbo.titles ADD CONSTRAINT titleind UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED
I found there're two settings in Indexs/Keys dialog box of the management studio, Is Unique, and Type. The DDL statements above are generated by setting Is Unique to yes plus Type to Index, and just Type to Unique Key, respectively. What's the difference between them?
I need to send the result of a procedure to an update statement.Basically updating the column of one table with the result of aquery in a stored procedure. It only returns one value, if it didnt Icould see why it would not work, but it only returns a count.Lets say I have a sproc like so:create proc sp_countclients@datecreated datetimeasset nocount onselect count(clientid) as countfrom clientstablewhere datecreated > @datecreatedThen, I want to update another table with that value:Declare @dc datetimeset @dc = '2003-09-30'update anothertableset ClientCount = (exec sp_countclients @dc) -- this line errorswhere id_ = @@identityOR, I could try this, but still gives me error:declare @c intset @c = exec sp_countclients @dcWhat should I do?Thanks in advance!Greg
I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- I executed it in my SQL Server Management Studio Express and I got: Commands completed successfully. I do not know where the result is and how to get the result viewed. Please help and advise.
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
Hi everyone, I need urgent help to resolve this issue... As far as the performance goes which one is better.. Unique Index(col1, col2) OR Unique constraint(col1, col2) ? Unique constraint automatically adds a unique index and unique index takes care of uniqueness then whats the use of unique constraint ?
BOL says a unique constraint is preferred over a unique index. It also states that a unique constraint creates a unique index. What then is the difference between the two, and why is a constraint preferred over the index?
hi team, .Can i create umique constraint with out unique index.when i am creating a unique constraint sql creates a unique index (default) can i have only unique constraint ?
I am having a problem trying to figure out the best way to get the results I need. I have a table of part numbers that is joined with a table of notes. The table of notes is specific to the part number and user. A row in the notes table is only created if the user has entered notes on that part number. I need to create a search that grabs all matches on a keyword and returns the records. The problem is that it currently returns a row from the parts table with no notes and a separate row with the notes included if they had created an entry. It seems like this should be easy but it eludes me today. Here is the code
Code Snippet create procedure SearchPartKeyword ( @Keyword varchar(250) = null, @Universal_Id varchar(10) = null ) as select p.PartNumber, p.Description, p.ServiceOrderable, n.MyNotes, p.LargestAssembly, p.DMM, p.Legacy, p.Folder, p.Printer from Parts p inner join notes n on p.PartNumber = n.Identifier where n.Universal_ID = @Universal_ID and p.Description like @Keyword union select p.PartNumber, p.Description, p.ServiceOrderable, '' as MyNotes, p.LargestAssembly, p.DMM, p.Legacy, p.Folder, p.Printer from Parts p where p.Description like @Keyword
and the results: PartNo Description SO Notes LA DMM Legacy Folder Printer de90008 MAIN BOARD 1 DGF1 114688 0 0 0 de90008 MAIN BOARD 1 I love this part Really I do DGF1 114688 0 0 0
This could return multiple part numbers and If they have entered notes I want the row with the notes
I'm using a subquery to return a delivery charge line as a column in the result set. I want to see this delivery charge only on the first line of the results for each contract. Code and results are below.
declare @start smalldatetime declare @end smalldatetime set @start = '2015-03-22 00:00' -- this should be a Sunday set @end = '2015-03-28 23:59' -- this should be the following Saturday
In this example, I only want to see the delivery charge of 125.00 for the first line of contract HU004377. For simplicity I have only shown the lines for 1 contract here, but there would normally be many different contracts with varying numbers of lines, and I only want to see the delivery charge once for each contract.
create table Test ( [recId] [int] identity(1, 1) not null, [code] [varchar](50) not null, [prime] [bit] not null constraint [DF_Test_prime] default (cast(0 as bit)), constraint [PK_Test] primary key clustered ( [recId] ) with fillfactor = 90 on [primary] ) on [primary] go
insert into Test (code, prime) values ('AVA', cast(1 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('BUS', cast(1 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('BUS', cast(0 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('BUS', cast(0 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('CAR', cast(1 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('CAR', cast(0 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('RLW', cast(1 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('RLW', cast(0 as bit)) insert into Test (code, prime) values ('RLW', cast(0 as bit))
select * from Test
I need to create a constraint on this table that will not allow me to have two rows that are prime for the same code. So the following insert statement should fail:
-- This should fail insert into Test (code, prime) values ('RLW', cast(1 as bit))
in sql server 2000 i know how to make primary key using enterprise manager i want to make one of the columns foreign key,how to do that using enterprise manager.and what is the difference between both.
In this table there are two columns, one called "company number" (NUMBER) and one called "company name" (VARCHAR). I have an index called agents_PK that are unique and indexes both columns with company number as first and company name as second in the column order.
But when I look at the data in the column company number its not unique, I find several rows with the same number.
I've always used the identity field in SQL server to maintain the unique id for a table. With the new DB design at work we brought in a dba and she made us move away from allowing SQL maintain the unique field and having us maintain the unique field in code. To do that we had to begin a transaction, do a select max(id) + 1, insert into table, commit transaction. Doing it this way, I'm starting to see deadlocks due to the transactions locking the table.
Getting down to what I wanted to know, what is the pro's/con's you guys see in maintaining the unique ID this way and is there a better way of creating an unique id in T-SQL code?
I know that primary key is a unique key .I read somewhere that a table can have both primary key and unique key at a time .Am I Right?Pl give clarification as asap. Thank U
I am using the sql function unique id ( create a new default call it newid and then give it the value newid() ) The problem is I'm trying to automatically populate that uniqueid field with the random 36 bit character. if I create a new record it will create the 36bit character, but how do I add the 36bit character to an existing table?
Dear experts, if i've created one unique key on one column, will it creates an index on that? if so, is there any way to find how every index was created?
i mean wether it was created with create index or it was created while the primary key or unique key creation.
thank you very much....i've been using the PBGUY query
Hello SQL gurus, can you help me with a problem. I have an Access Database and a table containing a list of currency values. I want to query this table to find out if there are any unique values, that is, an amount that only appears once in the table. Its probably very simple but I cannot work it out. The table is called Bids and the Field that I want to query is called Bids_value. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
