I have a database with some over normalized tables in it. The best I can do with one query is get the file ID. In the second query I want to get all the file names, based on all the fileID's I got from the first query. How would I go about doing this?
View 5 RepliesI have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.
I am trying to write a query that gives me the personal records from speed skaters on e.g. the 500 mtrs. I do this with the query:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, min(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
FROM tb....... INNER JOIN etc..
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
In itself this works fine. However, there are complicating factors. Sometimes a speed skater has multiple PRs, meaning the he/she has the same fastest time more than once.
If these times are achieved on multple days, the 1st date is the official PR. (meaning: "Min of racedate")
If they are raced on the same day the 1st race is the PR (meaning: "Min of distancenumber")
Changing the code to:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, MIN(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
, MIN(cdsStartDate) AS RaceDate
, MIN(cdsDistanceNumber) AS DistanceNumber
FROM tb.......
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
This gives me the wrong outcome because it gives me the "MIN" of every field, and they are not necessarily on the same row.
An option would be to calculate min(crtFinalTime), if for a person there is more than 1 result, calculate min of date, and then (if there is still more than 1 row) min of distancenumber.
Seems complicated, and I have the feeling there must be a better way (apart from: how to get this code)
Stacking subqueries in the FROM statement seems like a option be costly (time wise). There are more than 10 million rows (and growing) to run through.
As an example a few times:
DistanceFirst nameLast name Time Date Distance nr.
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311155
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311153
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311172
Yuya has 3 best times (34.49), 15-11-2013 is the 1st date, then distance nr 3 is the 1st distance raced. Therefore the 2nd row is the only row I would like to get in my endresult.
Say I want to search for a range of account numbers but only which are active. After I set my field for A (active) this field shows in my results, I dont want it to.
In Access you can easily just uncheck that field in design view, but how do I do it in sql?
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.
I have a text box that is used to submit stock symbols that are to be saved in a sql table. The symbols are to be separated by a space or a comma (I don't know which, yet). I want to retrieve the symbols later to be used in a query, but I don't know how to get the symbols in the proper string format for the query, eg
The symbols are stored in the tables as: A B C D
The query string criteria would look like: IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D')
The IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') citeria would be the values in the @Symbol variable in this SPROC
SELECT a_Name_Symbol.Symbol, a_Financials.Revenue
FROM a_Financials INNER JOIN
a_Name_Symbol ON a_Financials.Symbol = a_Name_Symbol.Symbol
WHERE (a_Name_Symbol.Symbol @Symbol)
ORDER BY a_Name_Symbol.Symbol
Is there a slick (ie easy) way to change the contents entered in the text box (A B C D) into IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') ?
Thanks,
Paul
I have a query in access that is running extremely slow and I'm trying to find a better way to write it. It appears to be the criteria statement that is causing the lag. Is there a better way to write this? And unfortunately I have to keep it in access.
query:
SELECT DISTINCT "JBC" AS ClientCode, PaymentDetail.PatientNumber, Procedures.CaseNumber, IIf(IsNull([TicketNumber]),Procedures.patientnumber & Year(Procedures.dateofservice) & Month(Procedures.dateofservice) & Day(Procedures.dateofservice),Procedures.ticketnumber) AS ClaimNumber, PaymentDetail.PaymentCounter, PaymentDetail.TransAmount, Payments.PaymentDate, PaymentDetail.AccountingDate, PaymentDetail.TransDate, payments.PaymentType & "-" & Adjustments.adjustmentcode AS CombinedPmtType, Payments.PaymentType, Payments.PaymentCode, Adjustments.AdjustmentCode, PaymentCodes.BriefDescription, PaymentCodes.LongDescription, Payments.CarrierCode, Payments.Remarks, Procedures.ProcedureCode, Procedures.DateOfService, PaymentDetail.DetailCounter
FROM ((((PaymentDetail LEFT JOIN Procedures ON (PaymentDetail.PaymentCounter = Procedures.Counter) AND (PaymentDetail.AccountingDate = Procedures.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Procedures.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN Payments ON (PaymentDetail.TransDate = Payments.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.TransCounter = Payments.Counter) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Payments.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN PaymentCodes ON Payments.PaymentCode = PaymentCodes.PaymentCode) LEFT JOIN Adjustments ON (PaymentDetail.TransDate = Adjustments.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Adjustments.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN AdjustmentCodes ON Adjustments.AdjustmentCode = AdjustmentCodes.AdjustmentCode
WHERE (((Procedures.CaseNumber)=0) AND ((PaymentDetail.TransAmount)<>0) AND ((Payments.PaymentType) Is Null) AND ((PaymentDetail.DetailCounter)=2)) OR (((Procedures.CaseNumber)=0) AND ((PaymentDetail.TransAmount)<>0) AND ((Payments.PaymentType) Is Null) AND ((PaymentDetail.DetailCounter)=5) AND ((AdjustmentCodes.InsuranceIndicator)="N"));
I have four criterias in my .aspx page. They are "First Name, Last Name, Title, Year". I have a Book and an Author table. The Author table would contain all the author's information and the Book table contains all the books information such as title, publisher, subject, and so on. So here's what I'm trying to do.
I want to write a transaction statement that will query the four criterias above if the criteria textbox is not black. So for example, when the user click the submit button, all the four criteria fields are filled except Year. That means the query would search the Author and Book tables for "First Name, Last Name, Title" but not "Year" for any potential matches. I also wanted to use "Like" instead of "=" for a wider search.
Actually I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept those four criterias and search the tables based on those criterias.
Any help is appreciated.
For example, consider the following queries:
DECLARE @SomeParam INT
SET @SomeParam = 44
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID
WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
Thanks.
I'm fairly new in SQL. Been trying for months to create the right script for this particular case but still cannot give me 100% result as required.
SCENARIO :
I am required to query from 2 tables for those unique record that meets both conditions below:-
1. Status is 1 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = CC
2. Status is 2 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = A or B
FYR, 2 tables and respective columns to query are as below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE
table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FYI, status refers to the paychnl method status:-
==> 1 means the current paychnl method
==> 2 means the previous paychnl method
paychnl method can be multiple because it will be defined as 2 for all the histories' paychnl chosen earlier, but 1 should only be unique as it is the latest paychnl chosen for each unique ID. however, it may appear more than once when it's taking those in earlier TRANSDATE, so here we would need the max trans_id as it will show the latest updated TRANSDATE.
Apart from that, I need only those most recent paychnl to be A or B and the latest paychnl is CC so, this been indicated by the same max trans_id for the same ID.
Aft trying so many times on this MAX command but failed to get any result, I only managed to come up to this part only. please refer below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE
table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
SELECT DISTINCT PTFF.TRANSCODE,PTFF.ID,PTFF.TRANS_ID,PTFF.TRANSDATE,PTFF.EFFDATE, CHFF.STATUS,CHFF.PAYCHNL
FROM DBO.PTFF PTFF
JOIN DBO.CHFF CHFF
ON CHFF.ID = PTFF.ID
WHERE
PTFF.TRANSDATE BETWEEN 130501 AND 130831
AND PTFF.TRANSCODE='T522'
AND (CHFF.STATUS=1 AND CHFF.PAYCHNL='CC' OR (CHFF.STATUS=2 AND (CHFF.PAYCHNL='A' OR CHFF.PAYCHNL='B')))
However, the script above returns :-
1. All those records with STATUS 1 regardless paychnl is A or B in most recent status 2,
2. Expected results also appear ==> 1 same ID with status 1 while paychnl=CC and status 2 while paychnl=A or B
3. Also duplicates of expected results but for different TRANSDATE and not at MAX TRANS_ID
Samples of the result:-

ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1

but in query analizer I get the result of
12/31/2006
Why the different dates
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!!
-- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1
if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?

Hi,New to .Net and SQL. I have two tables that I have joined together. RentalControl_Main has the rental informationd and an Adjuster ID that links to the ADjuster table and the adjusters name.

Under SQL 6.5, when executing a SELECT DISTINCT query against a table in a certain database, the results were returned alphabetized. Now, after migrating the database to SQL 7.0, the same query does not return the results alphabetized. If I add an index for the column specified in the query to the table, the results come back alphabetized. Is there any way to correct this other than adding indexes for all columns in all tables that are queried in this manner?
TIA,
Paige

I want to select all the customerIDs where an email address exists. Easy: select customerid from customers where emailaddress = @emailaddress
Now I want to use the resulted customerIDs from the above query as a parameter to select all the email addresses with emailstatus equal to 3.
How do I create this type of while statement in a stored procedure? I prefer to not create a temporary table.
My idea was to do it like this:
select emailaddress from emailaddresseswhere emailstatus = 3 and customerid = (select customerid from customers where emailaddress = @emailaddress)
This doesn't seems to work. I get the error:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

I have a pretty big SQL query with a one to many sort of relationship...
There are client accounts that we're reporting on. Each account has four different historical categories attached. Each historical category can have maybe fifty entries in each, sorted by date.
I need to figure out how to grab the unique accounts and show only the three most recent results per each historical subcategory with the account... the three most current results from each of the four subcategories, displayed by the parent client account number.
I've created four views to isolate the subcategories as a start, thinking I could bring them into a parent query ...
but my question would be... how do I generate JUST the top three historical transactions by account number? If I select TOP 3, I get only the 3 newest in the MASTER LIST, not per client account, which is what I need to do.
Does this make sense? I could really use a good SQL helping hand with this one.
Thank you!
