I would like to match two sets of data. I have setup a view of data that contains a group of customers and their details. I want to view this data, but also find these customers in another table based on matching their surname and date of birth, then retreive the information stored on these customers from the second table.
Does anyone have any suggestions how i would go about doing this?
Thanks in advance Humate

I have two tables - one with sales and another with payments against those. The payment may not match the exact amount of sales and I have to use FIFO method to apply payments. The payment month must >= sales month.
How can i write a query to do this? Examples are as below.
Table 1 Sales Sale DateSale Amt 1Jun-141200 2Oct-142400 3Dec-14600 4Feb-1512000
Users have to answer 17 simple yes/no questions and the answers are stored in an column for each question as tinyint 0/1 values.
At least that's what seems reasonable to me at the moment.
The table is under my control so I could change it if needed.
Now from several tenthousend or maybe hundreds of thousends of entries I need to find those with the closest match. Of course, I need all of the entries that have the exact same answers and this is no problem. But - at least if there are not enough full matches - then I need all records that have maybe 16,15,14... matches out of the 17 answers.
I have not yet the idea on how to handle this without quering 17*16 different answer schemes.
I have two tables in my database. Some matching rules are associated with these tables and I want a query which will retrieve those data based on the matching rules provided below:
I have a table called MessageBoard. It has a column called Messages. A user can type text including any html tags through a text area ans when he saves it by clicking a button, the content typed by the user is saved in the MessageBoard Table (in the Messages) column. So once saved, the html tags are kept intact. If I have to find and replace certain html tags, what kind of SQL Query I have to write? For example I want to find all the <pre> </pre> tags and replace it with <p> </p> tags. How do I do this?
We have an application where we want to check to see if the vehicle part on a job matches to our internal parts inventory (PartsInventory table) before we order it. The problem is that sometimes the part number matches exactly and sometimes the part number has '-' or space but if those are removed, will match to our internal part number. Below is what I have so far but it only matches exact part numbers. One example would be if our part number was 1013738-00-C but the job (in RepairOrderLines) had a part number of 101373800C we should consider it a match. Both PartNumbers are varchar(30).
SELECT dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber, dbo.PartsInventory.PartDescription, dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake FROM dbo.PartsInventory INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrderLines ON dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber = dbo.RepairOrderLines.PartNumber INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrder ON dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = dbo.RepairOrder.RecordID INNER JOIN dbo.Vehicles ON dbo.RepairOrder.VehicleID = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleID AND dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleMake WHERE (dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = 46001)
Hi folks. Hope all the gurus including Brett,Pat Phalen, RdjBarov, r937 are fine. ;) been so long to ask stupid question. Here's the question and i really need help on this.
i have data that tracks patterns of bus stops from one point to another. like point a, to point b, point b to point c forms one pattern. point a to point c , point c to point b should be a different pattern.
create table #journeypatterns (patternid int ,points varchar(100)) go insert #journeypatterns select 1 ,'a' union all select 1 ,'b' union all select 1,'c' union all select 2,'a' union all select 2,'c' union all select 2,'b' union all select 3 ,'a' union all select 3 ,'b' union all select 3,'c'
select * from #journeypatterns
patternid points 1 a 1 b 1 c 2 a 2 c 2 b 3 a 3 b 3 c
what i want is to get unique pattern value of sequence of points by grouping on patternid. if the sequence of points change, i need a unique value against that pattern. like for patternid 1, sequence of points a,bc for example should be abc. for patternid 2, sequence of points a,c,b for example should be acb. again patternid 3, sequence of points a,bc for example should be abc.
i tried CHECKSUM_AGG which brutally failed in production because the checksum values for each single point when summed produce SAME result for different patterns.
select checksum_agg(binary_checksum(points)) ,patternid from #journeypatterns group by patternid
961 962 963
here patternid 2 should be different because sequence is acb. i know checksum is not the right approach for what i need.
I NEED A GENERIC FUNCTION, that marks the pattern differences, my ultimate goal was to create a procedure, whom a patternid should be passed, and it would result the NEXT patternid in the table which has the SAME ORDER OF point sequences.
now folks, i can do this holding all data into a temp table and write a cursor to traverse through each patternid and concatenate the sequence of points. BUT, using this approach is the ugliest, as it has slow down the process badly and boss is not happy with the performance. the table holds a lot of data. I NEED a query rather than a cursor on the fly to resolve this. Here's the query i am using to get the current sequence of a pattern and then i have to search all sequences similarly against it.
declare @patternid int set @patternid =1 declare @sequence [varchar] (100) declare @id varchar(10) declare cr_sequence cursor fast_forward for select points from #journeypatterns where patternid=@patternid open cr_sequence fetch next from cr_sequence into @id while @@fetch_status = 0 begin select @sequence = isnull(@sequence,'')+@id fetch next from cr_sequence into @id end print @sequence -- next i have code to find the similar sequence for another patternid.... which is not mentioned here but is similar
I want two different set of rows in a single output. For example - the query gets records from the same tables, but first condition is a date range of 60 days and value = '1' then the second condition is a date range of 180 days and value = '2'
Let's say I have a list of IDs called EntryID and each EntryID can belong to ONE table out of a group of six, what is the best way to get a listing of these?
For example:
select r.* from #Reminders r left join mytable1 mt1 on (r.EntryID = mt1.EntryID) left join mytable2 mt2 on (r.EntryID = mt2.EntryID) left join mytable3 mt3 on (r.EntryID = mt3.EntryID) left join mytable4 mt4 on (r.EntryID = mt4.EntryID)
As you can see, #Reminders has one field called EntryID (and many rows).
In my example above, only ONE of those tables will actually be able to join but I have no idea which one has the matching EntryID.
What is the best way for me to do this? I want to grab "ReportStatus" from the corresponding "mytable"... (each "mytable" has a ReportStatus column)
In MySQL we use "SELECT (....) LIMIT 0, 10" to only return the first 0 to 10 records. Alternatively we could do "LIMIT 10, 20" to return the 10th to 20th records.
ColA ColB ----- ----- 21 A 22 A 23 A 24 B 25 B 26 D
What I want is to be able to identify a set sequence (1,2,3) based upon ColB such that I'd get the following result:
ColA ColB ColC ----- ----- ----- 21 A 1 22 A 1 23 A 1 24 B 2 25 B 2 26 D 3
I know that I should be able to get it using ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ColB ORDER BY ColA), but instead of getting the sequence (1,1,1,2,2,3) I get (1,2,3,1,2,1). Using DENSE_RANK gave me the same results.
IS there a way to combine all matching rows in a table so that itoutputs as one row, for example:tblMyStuffUniqueID int IDENTITYParentID intSomeSuch nvarchar(50)SomeSuch2 nvarchar(50)Table data:UniqueID ParentID SomeSuch SomeSuch21 1 Dog Bark2 1 Cat Meow3 3 Cow Moo4 3 Horse Whinnie5 5 Pig OinkDesired query result from Query:SELECT ??? as myText from tblMyStuff WHERE ParentID = 3myText = Cow Moo, Horse WhinnieHelp is appreciated,lq
Why does sp_helprotect throw an error if there are no special security permissions for a specified @username? Why not simply return a blank resultset? This makes the procedure a hassle to use when trying to capture results into a table as part of another stored procedure (use it for auditing).
[Edited]The same problem occurs when I execute xp_logininfo to get the list of members for a group that has no members. Instead of just passing back some sort of status, the procedure blows up and keeps me from scripting the procedure.
I have a patient record and emergency contact information. I need to find duplicate phone numbers in emergency contact table based on relationship type (RelationType0 between emergency contact and patient. For example, if patient was a child and has mother listed twice with same number, I need to filter these records. The case would be true if there was a father listed, in any cases there should be one father or one mother listed for patient regardless. The link between patient and emergency contact is person_gu. If two siblings linked to same person_gu, there should be still one emergency contact listed.
Below is the schema structure:
Person_Info: PersonID, Person Info contains everyone (patient, vistor, Emergecy contact) First and last names Patient_Info: PatientID, table contains patient ID and other information Patient_PersonRelation: Person_ID, patientID, RelationType Address: Contains address of all person and patient (key PersonID) Phone: Contains phone # of everyone (key is personID)
The goal to find matching phone for same person based on relationship type (If siblings, then only list one record for parent because the matching phones are not duplicates).
I have three tables X,Y,Z. Table 'Y' is having foreign key constraints on tables 'X' and 'Z' (which happen to be primary key tables). I would like to run a query in which I can retrieve rows from Table 'X' only if the matching rows in Table 'Y' have "ALL" their matching rows available in a simple query being run on Table "Z". The "All" part is very important.
For more clarification, let me give you an example. Table "X" is equivalent to a mathematical "Equation" table which consists of an equation made up of several "Fields". These fields are stored in Table "Z". Table "Y" contains the primary keys from Tables "X" and "Z". i.e. Table "Y" determines what fields are required for an equation to be complete.
I am having a query "Q" on Table "Z" (Fields table) which returns me a bunch of Fields. Now, on the basis of these fields, I want to retrieve only those Equations (Table "X") which have "ALL" their required Fields present in the bunch retrieved by the Query "Q".
I hope I am clear enough. Does anyone have any solutions???
We were asked to fix a query to get rows from a prior year history table that did not match to rows in the current year to show a variance from one year to the next. Rows must match on [corpnbr],[plincd],[pgrpcd] and [pitmcd]. If the combination has rows in the current and prior year ([hstyr]) then everything is fine. However, if they have rows in the prior year (e.g. [hstyr]='2014') but not in the current year (e.g. [hstyr]='2015') then they do not show in the result. Below is how they designed the table and below that is the stored procedure to pull the records.
Consider the following: I have a table, say ORDERS, with these entries -
CustID ProductID 1 CAN 2 2 3 1,2 4 4 5 1,2,3,4,5,CAN 6 10 7 CAN 8 1,CAN
I'd like to write a script to return only those rows WHERE ProductID = CAN along with other values in the same column. In this example, I'd like to return rows 5 & 8. How can I write this in T-SQL? So, say, check if ProductID has a comma ',' value plus the 'CAN' string. If yes, then return that row. If I use the LIKE operator, it'll return rows 1,5,7, and 8.
Hello I am new to SSIS and learning as I go. Any guidance to my questions would be appreciated.
I wrote a script that takes the current date and subtracts a number of days/months from this date. I then attempted to use an SQL Task as a select with a parameter using the calculated date from the script. I was not successful in doing this. While performing searches on the WEB with the hopes of finding a solution I came upon the following text in the Microsoft forum under EXECUTE SQL TASK.
When you use an OLE DB Connection Manager, you cannot use parameterized subqueries because the Execute SQL task cannot derive parameter information through the OLE DB provider. However, you can use an expression to concatenate the parameter values into the query string and to set the SqlStatementSource property of the task.
Having come upon this statement I moved on to putting together an OLE DB SOURCE with a Flat File Destination. The SQL that I wrote is:
SELECT BP_ID, INVC_NBR, INVC_DT, BUS_ADD_DT FROM DW.CUST_SALE_ADDR WHERE (BUS_ADD_DT = ?)
The flat file destination was mainly used to confirm the select.
Having confirmed my select, I changed the select in the OLE DB SOURCE as follows:
DELETE FROM DW.CUST_SALE_ADDR WHERE (BUS_ADD_DT = ?)
I also removed the Flat File Destination. Needless to say when I tried to run the package I did not get very far as a package validation error was encountered since there were no output columns.
Can you share how I should go about peforming the delete as described from the table based on a calculated date? And am I not understanding the comment regarding the SQL Statement and the use of parameters?
In Outer join, I would like to add the outer columns that don't exist in the right table for each order number. So currently the columns that don't exist in the right table only appear once for the entire set. How can I go about adding PCity, PState to each order group, so that PCity and PState would be added as null rows to each group of orders?
if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#left_table') is not null drop table #left_table; if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#right_table') is not null drop table #right_table; create table #left_table
Our division has approximately 300 employees. We have an annual shift bid where seniority is calculated using Date of Hire. If 2 or more employees share the same Date of Hire then we fall back to Date of Application. Currently the SSRS report does a very simple query and shows all the employees in order of their Date of Hire. If they match then it sorts the matching Date of Hire entries alphabetically by the employee name. It then becomes the task of the scheduler to locatethe entries with the same Date of Hire and manually look up the employees' dates of applications then sort them accordingly and re-write the report.
Goal: Convert the manual process into an automatic process by modifying the current SSRS report. Data: The dataset is "DivDir" which contains the following fields: "EmpName", "DofHire", & "AppDate".
EmpName DofHire AppDate Adam ...... 12/2/1996 11/15/1996 Bob ..... .... 1/16/1997 12/27/1996 Charlie ....... 1/16/1997 12/12/1996 Dan ...... ... 4/11/2001 3/22/2001
In the above example I want the SSRS report to list the employees in this order: Adam, Charlie, Bob, Dan.How do I do this programmatically using SSRS?
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.
How can i find out the no of rows in each table. if the no of table are more than thousands(i.e. 1000+,2000+ etc..) are there. Certainly 'select count(0) from <table>' is not the good idea. Egarly awaiting for the solution.
Yesterday, I had an occurence where someone (one of our developers :) ) deleted many vital rows in a database. I was able to recover via a backup but I'd like to see what was run to delete those rows, when and who if possible? I have the transaction log and the _log.ldf.
Can I read those somehow to find out this information? I have since added auditing to said tables, but I'd really like to go back and see what happened?
I do know about Lumigent, but is there a different production/solution?
