Hi all,Right now I have this SELECT statement:SELECT MUSIC_PK, MUSIC_TITLE, MUSIC_TITLE2, MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER Now I want to add a second SELECT statement (same as above, but with an additional column) if the record was added within the 10 days (while still select other records, I just need to select an additional column). How would I do that? The additional column that I want to select is called MUSIC_NEW (so I can display if the record is new within 10 days.) I have a column in my table named DATE_ADDED, how do I go to calculate if it's within the 10 days since the day it was added to the current time?Thank you very much,Kenny.

I'm familiar with the Top command but I need something else to help in a project I'm working on.
I would like to select rows 1 through 100000 from a specific table in one query then 100001 through 200000 in a second query and 200001 through 300000 in a third and so on until I have gone through all rows. There happens to be 424000 in the table I'm working on.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm a new DBA and am a rookie when it comes to working with SQL Server 2005. I have been tasked with transfering an Access database to SQL Server 2005. Now I understand to use the import/export wizard, but am having problems fixing an error I am receiving. Here is the error...
Problem I
- Copying to [IS_Shared_ServicesTest].[dbo].[tblResource] (Error)

* Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Here is the short version of the error. I realize that there is an error with the conversion and the error is in tblResource in column Contract Start Date. It is still transfering the column over, and on spot check they seem fine. Should I be really worried about an error? Or is there something that I can do with the Access or SQL server database to fix this?
In the typical Job Cost Reporting world you can easily create SQL Views / Stored Procedures (or create a report) that can return both Job To Date values along with period values for another date range. Something like this:
Job,
Phase of Work,
Cost Type,
UM,
Budgeted Cost,
Budgeted Quantity,
Period Cost,
Period Quantity,
Period Unit Cost,
JTD Cost,
JTD Quanity,
JTD Unit Cost,
Variance between JTD and Period Cost,
Variance between JTD and Period Quantity,
Variance between JTD and Period Unit Cost
But in the tabular BI world I am not certain how to have these values show up in a pivot table or BI visualization. My current Fact table is essentially every job cost transaction so it is at the most granular level holding Company, Job, Phase of Work, UM, Cost Type, Date, Budget Cost, Budget Quantity, Actual Cost, Actual Quantity. The Budget values only have a value if the entry was updating the budget and the Actual values hold actual cost for each transaction. If you don't restrict by date you have your Budgeted Quantity / Cost and Job To date Cost / Quantity.
I can generate a Pivot table or chart and not restrict by date and I can get all the Budget Totals and the Job To Date Totals when I have the Company, Job, Phase Of Work, Cost Type.
But what if I want to look at a range like last quarter or yesterday or last week. I can indeed filter that data in Pivot Table and get the period values, but now I don't know how to have the Job To Date values show up for comparison purposes.
I am guessing maybe a DAX formula (if using Excel Powerpivot or SQL Tabular Model), but I am at a loss.
So in the BI world how do you get Job To Date totals while also viewing the data for a period of time?
Here are some example graphs we would want to show for a single Job. Let's say we want to show the 10 worst performing cost distributions.
I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Cost, Period Cost, Job To Date Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Unit / Cost, Period Unit / Cost, Job To Date Unit / Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and the variance between JTD and Budget and Period and Budget.
As you can see it all stems around seeing JTD and Budget values vs Period Values. Here is a visualization that may work. I am using PivotTable filtered on one Company, Job, Phase of Work. I can see the sum of actual cost which is the totals for the date range I provided. But I still want to see the JTD totals for that Phase of Work and Cost Types and actually the Budget Totals as that is sort of a JTD, but for budget... especially if I want to compare Budget vs JTD vs Actual.
I am attempting to write a SQL query that retrieves info processed between two times (ie. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) during a date range (ie. 8/1/06 to 8/14/06)... I am new to SQL and am perplexed... I have referenced several texts, but have not found a solution. Even being pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!

The example below shows that there is 150 people aged 0-4 years old, 75 people aged 5-9, 225 people aged 10-14, etc. Would I use a case statement? Would I use the COALESCE function?

Hello,I have a table that lists a number of available time slots for a party venue. I want a user to select a particular time slot and have the query show results for that time slot plus two time slots before and two time slots after the user's selection. If the user selects a time slot that is the first of the day, I still want that user to be shown 5 results including the one he selected. The same goes for the last time slot of the day. Can anyone help me with the SQL statement?
Thank you very much in advance!

I need to run reports from our database that stores IP addresses when a software license is used. So, I need to know how to run SQL queries to retrieve certain IP addresses from specified ranges. For example:
192.168.1.0 - 192.168.2.255
192.168.3.11 - 192.168.7.128
10.10.10.8 - 10.10.12.255
What commands would help me accomplish pulling all IP addresses in a range. I know I would have to run multiple reports for each range. I tried using the "between" function and "less than/greater than" functions, but I received mixed results. For example:
SELECT * FROM testtable WHERE ip LIKE '192.168.[1-2].[0-255]'
I also tried -
SELECT * FROM testtable WHERE ip>'192.168.1.0' and ip<'192.168.2.255'
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi there
I have a FileConsumptionDetail table which has [DataTime] every 30 minutes. Also, I have a schedule table with has range time and with certain condition.
Now I would like to query against these 2 tables what is the best approach to handle to do this due the process load is around 20,000 records. The end of result is sum of the Value1 of FileConsumptionDetail with the relevat schedule. I can probably using cursor and loop the 20,000 records of the data and check one by one whether that value is applied on that schedule table. Overkill .. I guess?

IsMonday - IsSunday is basically a flag for each day if it's a daily type of schedule.
IsJan - isDec is a flag for each month if it's a monthly type of schedule.
Regarding 2nd table design, i am not sure this is a best approach though and I am happy to change if it's easy to query.
Hope this clear and I am appreciated your comment.
