MS SQL Server :: Can Anyone Help Me With A Nested Count??

COUNT ( FROM Nested SELECT)

Feb 25, 2008

HI All, I have what is most likely a simple MS SQL query problem (2005).I need to add two computed columns to a result set, both of those columns are required to provide the count of a query that contains a parmamter. (The id of a row in the result set) 3 Tables (Showing only the keys)t_Sessions-> SessionID (Unique) t_SessionActivity-> SessionID (*)-> ErrorID (Unique) t_SessionErrors-> ErrorID (1) I need to return something like (Be warned the following is garbage, hopefully you can decifer my ramblings and suggest how this can actualy be done) SELECT SessionID, (SELECT COUNT(1) AS "Activities" FROM t_SessionActivity WHERE t_SessionActivity.SessionID = t_Sessions.SessionID), (SELECT COUNT(1) AS "Errors" FROM dbo.t_Sessions INNER JOIN dbo.t_SessionActivity ON dbo.t_Sessions.SessionID = dbo.t_SessionActivity.SessionID INNER JOIN dbo.t_SessionErrors ON dbo.t_SessionActivity.ErrorID = dbo.t_SessionErrors.ErrorID WHERE t_SessionActivity.SessionID = t_Sessions.SessionID)FROM t_Sessions Any help greatfully received. Thanks

Nested SQl With Count, Percent And Joins: How?!

May 14, 2008

Hiya,
I have a need for a complex SQL statement to provide reporting information, but the SQL is way over my head and although I have some of the elements, I can't seem to pull them together to create a working SQL statement.
My database structure is as outlined below:

tblDef
------
ID IRVitems
ABC A1,A2,A3,A4,A5

tblIRV
------
ID IRVvalues
001 1,5,text1,10,3
002 2,1,text2,1,3
003 2,4,text3,1,1
004 1,4,text4,4,1
005 1,2,text5,4,1

tblLabel
--------
lblID lblVALUE lblTXT
A1 1 AAA
A1 2 BBB

I currently query tblDef to get IRVitems and in turn then query the other two tables to get statistical information to present in a report (via ASP).

For each item returned from IRVitems, I would like to report the spread and frequency of different values as follows:

A1
Value Label Count Percent
1 AAA 3 60
2 BBB 2 40

and then for A2, etc (although missing out A3 as it is a text item, but I can deal with that via ASP code beforehand). I would expect to have to hit the DB for each of the IRVitems (so once for getting the data for A1, againfor A2, etc).

I was provided a great bit of code to use SUBSTRING and GROUP BY to get this data (thanks zuomin), but I didn't consider the possible text values or numbers >9 when defining what I was trying to do (to be fair, they're new requirements):

SELECT SUBSTRING(IRVvalues, 1, 1) AS Value, COUNT(ID) AS Count
FROM tblIRV
GROUP BY SUBSTRING(IRVvalues, 1, 1)
ORDER BY value

which returns like this:

Value Count
1 187
2 163
3 2

Can I do a similar query to get all the info I need in one go? I saw the articale on a user-defined 'split' function (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SQLExamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=StringArrayInput&referringTitle=Home) that can be used to split up the IRVvalues string to access the position I need in the array, but I'm a little clueless on how to then embed that into a SQl statement.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

How To Count No Of Items In Nested Table

Aug 28, 2007

I have the following table
Region Table
ID
ParentID
RegionName

RestaurantTable
ID
RestaurantName
RegionID

What i tried to do is count the number of restaurants by specific regionname. My current query is
Select RegionID, RegionName, count(*) as RestaurantNo
From Region Inner Join Restaurant
On Region.ID = Restaurant.RegionID

However I only get the results below
RegionID RegionName RestaurantNO
1 A1 0
2 A1.1 2
3 A1.2 1
4 A1.3 0

Where A1.1 , A1.2, and A1.3 are children of A1 in Region table
The result is not correct due to A1 should have 3 in RestaurantNo due to it contains A1.1 , A1.2 and A1.3
Could anyone help me to solve this problem.
Thank you

Table Update With Count In Nested Query

Oct 8, 2012

I have added some SQL to an Access form which updates the dbo_BM_Map table when the user hits the Apply button. There is a temp table with various fields, two being "Chapter_No" and "Initial_Mapping_Complete" which the update is based on.

I want this update to only apply to chapters that only have one name in the "Initial_Mapping_Complete" column. If a chapter has more than one then the update should ignore it. The attached screengrab shows you. The update should ignore chapter 19 as there are two people (Jim and James) in the Initial_Mapping_Complete field. Here is my code.

pdate dbo_BM_Map inner Join Temp_Progression_Populate
on dbo_BM_Map.Product_ID = Temp_Progression_Populate.Product_ID
Set dbo_BM_Map.Initial_Mapping_Complete = Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete
Where dbo_BM_Map.Chapter_No = Temp_Progression_Populate.Chapter_No
And Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete in
(Select count(Initial_Mapping_Complete), Chapter_No
from Temp_Progression_Populate
Group by Chapter_No
Having Count(Initial_Mapping_Complete) = 1)

Nested SELECT Query That Also Returns COUNT From Related Table

Mar 4, 2005

OK heres the situation, I have a Categories table and a Products table, each Category can have one or many Products, but a product can only belong to one Category hence one-to-many relationship.

Now I want to do a SELECT query that outputs all of the Categories onto an ASP page, but also displays how many Products are in each category eg.

CatID | Name | Description | No. Products

0001 | Cars | Blah blah blah | 5

etc etc

At the moment I'm doing nesting in my application logic so that for each category that is displayed, another query is run that returns the number of products for that particular category. It works ok!

However, is there a way to write a SQL Statement that returns all the Categories AND number products from just the one SELECT statement, rather than with the method I'm using outlined above? The reason I'm asking is that I want to be able to order by the number of products for each category and my method doesn't allow me to do this.

Many thanks!

Obtain Unit Percent With Unit Count Divided By Total Count In Query

Aug 21, 2007

The following query returns a value of 0 for the unit percent when I do a count/subquery count. Is there a way to get the percent count using a subquery? Another section of the query using the sum() works.

Here is a test code snippet:

--Test Count/Count subquery

declare @Date datetime

set @date = '8/15/2007'

select
-- count returns unit data
Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) as PTCnt,
-- count returns total for all units

(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))

from tblVGD1_Master m1

left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID

Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9

and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0

and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)

and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date) as TotalCnt,
-- attempting to calculate the percent by PTCnt/TotalCnt returns 0
(Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) /

(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))

from tblVGD1_Master m1

left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID

Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9

and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0

and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)

and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date)) as AUPct
-- main select

from tblVGD1_Master m

left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v on m.SlotNum_ID = v.SlotNum_ID

Where left(m.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m.Denom_ID <> 9

and v.Act = 1 and m.Active = 1 and v.MnyPlyd <> 0

and not (v.MnyPlyd = v.MnyWon and v.ActWin = 0)

and v.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date

group by substring(m.PTNumber, 3,3)

order by AUPct Desc

Nested SQL(Nested SQL(Nested SQL(Nested SQL)))

Jan 3, 2007

Can you give a whole SQL statement an alias so you can use it later?

Eg.

SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE age < 19
-- Could I call the above statement something like 'statement1' to use below as shown

SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE age < 25 AND NOT IN (statement1)

Soin effect I get a nested statement.
The reason I am asking about aliases is because this would need to be repeated for, E.g. age < 30 Then age < 35 and so on and so forth.

So basically, I just want to alias a qhole SQL statement

Any help would be greatly appreciated - George

Help With Nested CTE

Apr 2, 2008

Hi gang,

I have a challenge, which seems like it is probably trivial, but SQL chops are not up to the task, and I am hoping one of you hot-shot DBAs can throw me a bone!

I have a query that populates an OLAP Time dimension table (basically one row per day of the year over several years). What I want to do is expand that table to include each hour of each day over the time span.

The CTE I am using for the day population is:

Code Snippet
WITH dates(date)
-- A recursive CTE that produce all dates between 2006 and 2057-12-31
AS
(
SELECT cast('2006' AS dateTime) date -- SQL Server supports the ISO 8601 format so this is an unambigious shortcut for 1999-01-01
UNION ALL -- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190977.aspx
SELECT (date + 1) AS date
FROM dates
WHERE
date < cast('2058' AS dateTime) -1
)

What I wanted to do was something like:

Code Snippet
WITH hours(hr)
AS
(
SELECT (DATEPART(hh,date) hr
UNION ALL
SELECT (hr + 1) AS hr
FROM hours
WHERE hr < 24
)

inserted just after

Code Snippet
FROM dates

in the initial CTE. But from what I have read, it seems as though nested CTEs are not allowed.

Can anyone show me how to do this?

Thanks in advance for ANY insight/input!

Cheers,

Chris

Can someone pls advise the maximum number of nested IIF statements allowed in a VS 2005 report builder layout textbox expression? I seem to be hitting a wall at about 10, but cannot find verification. In case the limitation is by characters, the full expression would run about 3,500.

How Do I Use @@Identity In A Nested SP????

Hi All,

Im inserting some data into a table and grabbing the new UserID with this statement

SELECT @UserID = @@IDENTITY

I would like to use the @UserID to Execute another SP within the same proc..
..something like this

Exec AnotherSP(@UserId)

But this doesnt seem to be working....Its seems to me that this is a much better approach performance wise rather than returning the UserID to the Business Logic Layer and calling another SP....Im I correct in that assumption....any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Nested SQL Problem

Apr 30, 2005

Hi,
Although I am quite familiar with MS Access-grade SQL, I am struggling a bit with proper grown up SQL Server. My usual approach to counting things in Access is to first create a query with the conditions on the data, then use this as the basis of a second query that does the actual counting of the presorted data. I believe the way to do this in SQL server is to use a nested query. I want to generate the top 10 highest counts for each pesticide detected (detection is level>0) for a client between two dates.
Currently I am using
<code>
SELECT top 10 Count(Pesticide) AS CountOfPesticide, Pesticide FROM (SELECT tblData.Pesticide, tblData.Level, tblData.Clast, tblData.Client FROM tblData WHERE (((tblData.Day>@sdate) AND (tblData.Day<@edate))) and (tbldata.level>0) and (tbldata.clast=@clast) and (tbldata.client=@client)) as monkeyboy GROUP BY Pesticide ORDER BY Count(Pesticide) ASC"
</code>
The results that the above SQL turns out though are not reliable. For example, if I set the dates to now and 14 days ago, it produces higher counts for some pesticides then if I set the dates to now and 30 days ago. Any pointers or general advice about nested sql is gratefully accepted!
thanks
Mike

Nested Cursors - Me Am Very Bad :(

Sep 26, 2005

Hi all,

I have a temp guy who is doing some work for us (seriously, I never wrote the query).

Now this is the scenario (hold tight). So we have a stored procedure as follows...

ALTER PROCEDURE createSegmentPoints AS

DECLARE @fLat INTEGER
DECLARE @fLon INTEGER
DECLARE @segId INTEGER

-- declare cursor to return the from lat and lon for all segments that do not have address point 109.
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR (SELECT From_Latitude, From_Longitude, id AS segment_id FROM Segments WHERE SegmentType != 109)
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @fLat, @fLon, @segId
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    -- insert into table the segId, from lat, from lon and returned segment id from function.
    INSERT INTO test VALUES (@segId,@fLat,@fLon,dbo.points_test(@fLat,@fLon))

    FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @fLat, @fLon, @segId
END

CLOSE c1
DEALLOCATE c1

As you can see here I am using a Cursor, which in turn calls a function
with each row that is processed in the recordset. The function that is
called is as follows...

ALTER FUNCTION points_test(@x INTEGER, @y INTEGER)
RETURNS INTEGER
AS
BEGIN
    -- function to find the closed segment point with address point 109 to the segment specified in procedure.
    DECLARE @tempDistance FLOAT(4)
    SET @tempDistance = 1000000
    DECLARE @id, @seg, lat, lon INTEGER
    DECLARE @distance, @xd, @yd FLOAT
    DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR (SELECT from_latitude, from_longitude, id FROM segments WHERE segmenttype = 109)
    OPEN c1
    FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @lat, @lon, @id
    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
        -- calucations to get distance.
        SET @xd = (@lat-@x)
        SET @yd = (@lon-@y)
        SET @distance = SQRT((@xd*@xd) + (@yd*@yd))

        -- test if you have shortest distance.
        IF (@distance < @tempDistance)
        BEGIN
            SET @tempDistance = @distance
            SET @seg = @id
        END
        FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @lat,@lon, @id
    END
    CLOSE c1;
    DEALLOCATE c1;
RETURN @seg
END

(This function works out an equation to get the shortest distance from
two parameters passed to the function calculated with data from each
row returned within the cursor)
As you can see here, this function contains ANOTHER cursor!! Ouch. The
fact that their is an SQL query in a function is a killer, but having
another embedded cursor there is also a killer - this has virtually
killer the application.

So, how best is it for me to correct this. Should I turn the function
into a stored procudure? But even if I do this, the nested cursor still
remains. I was thinking maybe to have the SQRT equations within the
SELECT expression and then wrapped in a MIN() to maybe get the lowest
value.

Any ideas would be of great help.

Thanks

Nested Roles

Mar 20, 2002

Guys,

Has anybody out there successfully nested roles?

SQL Server seems to let you do it, but then no permissions are carried up the hierarchy.

Nested Transactions

Oct 22, 1999

Hello;

I have a question why does not the following nested transaction work?

begin tran
insert into t1 values('A')
begin tran
insert into t2 values('1')
commit
insert into t3 values('B')
begin tran
insert into t2 values('2')
commit
rollback

The rollback is rolling back everything.

Thanks

Nathan

Nested Cursor

Oct 21, 1999

I have a situation where I have two cursors: outer_cursor and inner_cursor. The inner_cursor is supposed to execute based on a value passed on from outer_cursor. It is not running as desired. At runtime, it complians that the inner_cursor is not open.

Thanks
