I was wondering if someone could help me out. What would be the best way for me to go about determining the sale number from the following table:
applicantID calltime result
1 1/5/05 no sale
1 1/15/05 no sale
1 1/25/05 sale
1 1/26/05 no sale
12 1/5/05 no sale
12 1/15/05 no sale
12 1/16/05 no sale
12 1/25/05 sale
12 1/26/05 no sale
the resulting query would provide:
applicantID saleattempt
1 3
12 4
etc. Ultimately, I am trying to figure out how many attempts needed to make a sale.
I am having an issue with a SQL query I wrote in SQL 2000. I am almost there but am lacking in one area, hoping a better programmer than me and a fresh set of eyes can pick off my mistake.
The goal is very straight forward, order and rank the following fields: R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
The issue lies in my sub query in the AND / OR joins... This query will work if I sort and rank on two fields, but if I try three or more it does not work properly.
( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblWeeklyStandings_All R2 WHERE R2.AutoPoolID = R1.AutoPoolID AND R2.Week = R1.Week AND ( R2.PSWins > R1.PSWins OR R2.PSWins = R1.PSWins AND R2.PSPoints_Total > R1.PSPoints_Total OR R2.PSPoints_Total = R1.PSPoints_Total AND R2.PSTBDifference < R1.PSTBDifference ) ) + 1 AS Rank
FROM dbo.tblWeeklyStandings_All R1 INNER JOIN dbo.qryUsers_SDR ON R1.AutoPoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.AutoPoolID AND R1.PoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PoolID WHERE (R1.PoolType = '2007' OR R1.PoolType = '2008') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.OrderBy1 = '6') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PointSpread = 1)
ORDER BY R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
At this point I am ready to buy SQL 2005 because I think this gets easier, hoping a 2000 wiz can help me correct my error, or missing "(", or something!
Here are the results: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 4. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
As you can see the ranking is not correct. It should be the following: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 2. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not, frustrating!
In different scenerios, I am ranking the following way when ties occur. My code sometimes does this correctly but as you can see above it fails in certain areas, like it forgets R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference....
Rank 1 Tied 1 Tied 3 4 5 Tied 5 Tied 5 Tied 8
etc...
The most frustrating thing is the sort order is correct, it is the rank sub query that fails under certain scenerious...
Hi everybody! i've got a problem: when trying to connect to SQL Query Analyzer on SQL Server 2000 with SQL Server authentication, i fill in the gaps user name and password but when i press OK it gives me an error. it says: "Unable to connect to server server-name: login failed for user X. Reason: not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection". the user i want to get connected with is correcly set up and appears in the SQL Server security-->logins list with type=standard; server access=permit; default database=master. how could I correct it?
Hi everyone,I am interested in showing a ranking of each result that I get. Basically, the results will be the time of a race along with their name. However, what I want to do is also have a third column that will show their place. I would like my result to be like this:Place Name Time 1 Bob 1:00.002 Bill 1:00.012 Rob 1:00.014 Jill 1:00.025 Jon 1:00.035 Joe 1:00.037 Jane 1:00.04 Records are constantly being added to the table, so the place must be calculated dynamically. Now, I do realize that SQL 2005 has the wonderful RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [time]) AS [Place] feature, but unfortunately SQL 2000 does not have that mechanism. What is the best way to display these results? Should they be included calculated on the SQL side or using the datagridview control? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jason
There are three columns I need to query and rank, then group and total. I'm using MS SQL server 2000 and it doesn’t have a ranking function like the newer SQL server and oracle has. Does anyone have a clever way to create or simulate a ranking function? Thanks so much! Jake :confused:
I see a Rank function on SQL Server 2005 and this is exactly what I want. I am writing a Reporting Services report on Sql Server 2000 and the Rank function is not available on either software. The following is my data and what I want...
Name Value Rank
A 5 2
B 5 2
C 6 1
D 4 4
E 2 5
F 1 6Any ideas on how to code a rank function on SS 2000 or Reporting Services?
The problem is : I have table : -------------------------------- ...User ... Speed(minute)... Maria 0.8 John 0.5 Alan 0.8 Anne 2.0 Smith 1.0 Kate 1.5 Evan 1.5 --------------------------------
---> I wanna set ranking for them such as:
Rank.....User.....Speed(minutes) 1 John 0.5 2 Maria 0.8 2 Alan 0.8 4 Smith 1.0 5 Kate 1.5 5 Evan 1.5 7 Anne 2.0 ---------------------------------
I need to use mssql to create a ranking of some kind. This is the situation: I need to assign position to a list of students based on thier scores. e.g Student Score Position StudentA 56 4 StudentB 78 1 StudentC 66 2 StudentD 56 4
I need to create the positions based on the scores of the ctudents. I will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says. Command(s) completed successfully. What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query. Does anyone know how to do this? declare @SniierId as uniqueidentifierset @SniierId = '85555560-AD5D-430C-9B97-FB0AC3C7DA1F'declare @SniierAlias as nvarchar(50)declare @AlwaysShowEditButton as bitdeclare @SniierName as nvarchar (128)/* Check access for Sniier */SELECT TOP 1 @SniierName = Sniiers.SniierName, @SniierAlias = Sniiers.SniierAlias, @AlwaysShowEditButton = Sniiers.AlwaysShowEditButtonFROM SniiersWHERE Sniiers.SniierId=@SniierId
THis is so annoying. I have 3 ADO executes in my program. THe first one creates a view, the second one performs an outer join on that view and returns a result set, the third execute drops the aforementioned view. THe program that is using this is installed on about 200 computers scattered across Germany and Italy, all querying the same MSsql server 7.0. THe queries run quite quick when few users are actively using the program (after hours for example). however in the heat of the day performance goes up and down dramatically with identical queries taking from 1 to 20 seconds to return their result set. Now I initially thought 'bandwidth issue out of our server'. However I noticed that if I take those three queries and run them from the sql server enterprise manager( running on the same computer as the aforementioned program) then the queries run instantly and the data is in my result pane in less than 2 seconds ALWAYS....even when the program is dogging it with 20 second delays before the result set returns. I know it is hanging on the return of the result set as I put a stop after before each ADO execute in order to check which one was eating up my time. Why is there this dichotomy between running the queries from my enterprise manager versus running them from an ADO object. Both are using TCP/IP (no named pipes involved). I havent monkied with the attributes of the ADO result set so they are all set to default. I have used the sql server profiler to trace these queries and they always run in less than 33 milliseconds. THe duration is also never more than 33 milliseconds. THis stinks of a network resource issue but what always leads me somewhere else is how consistent the performance of the enterprise manager is when it runs the exact same three queries.
Here is my slightly edited connection string Public Const connection_string = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=000.000.000.000;" & _ "User ID=johndoe;Password=janedoe;Network=dbmssocn;" & _ "database=fidojoe"
Here are the 3 ADO executes: conn.Execute (sqlstr_create_view) Set resultset1 = conn.Execute(sqlstr_get_providers_by_DMISID) conn.Execute (sqlstr_drop_view)
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I am trying to determine which of three stored procedure designs arefastest in the Query Analyzer:One query is a straight SELECT query with all desired rows and a dozen(tblName.RowName = @param or @param = Null) filters in the WHEREstatement.One query populates a #Temp table with the UniqueIDs from the resultsof the SELECT query in the above example, then joins that #Temp tableto get the desired rows.One query users EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @paramin which the @param has the dozen filters.What I'm trying to determine is which is the fastest.Each time I run the query in Query Analyzer it returns the samerecordset (duh!) but with much different Time Statistics.Are the Time Statisticts THE HOLY QRAIL as far as determining which isfastest, and what so I want to look at, the Vale or the Average? Inotice there are different numbers of bytse sen and bytes received foreach of the three queries.Any illumination on this is appreciated.lq
Is Query Analyzer being droped in MS-SQL 2005? I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Managemant Studio and I couldn't find the Store Procedure node and Query Analyzer anymore. Help is appreciated.
Say you have a state column with the name of a state in it. And you need to add a branchId to the table. I know I should not have it in there, and the application should use proper lookup tables, but that's not the case. Can SQL Server query analyzer loop through and update the branchid field based on a lookup in a lookup table? How would that be done?
Hi All, I think I post this in a wrong section but I cant find forum for sql server and i just have a quick question basically, I installed sql server 2005 and I need to debug a store procedure.1. Does query analyzer come with sql server 2005?2. If not how can I debug store procedure in sql server 2005?Thanks in advance
Does anyone know if there is a limitation in Query Analyzer in terms of the number of characters in a query that it will parse?
I am having a problem with some large queries, and I am not sure if it is Query Analyzer, or the SQL Server query parsing engine that is causing the problem.
The query just involves a simple SELECT statement, albeit for a large number of columns.
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I connect to one database in Query Analyzer and I can use the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option. when I connect to one of our other databases, the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option is disabled (greyed out). Does anyone know what the problem could be and how might I be able to enable this option.
Hello In query Analyzer of SQL2000 when i select 2 Select Queries and Run it shows in same Window as 2 Grids I have seen people using seperate grid option to view each query results in a Tab query results Pane in MSSQL 7.
Eg Select * from table1 (in one grid) select * from table2 (in another grid) like a TAB so that i can move from one tab to another.
Is it possible to do that in query Analyzer? Regards
I would like to use the Query Analyzer to create a script that will prompt the user(dialog box) for a response in SQL Server 7.0. I found a post someone mentioned DBMS can return messages and using Query Analyzer.
I'm trying to do a couple of things with some different tables.
With the first table, I have first name and last name in two separate columns.
I'm trying to create a new ID column that would do the following.
Take the first 3 letters of the last name (and remove any non characters such as ',&) and the first 3 letters of the first name, and then combine them.
I know how to use substring to take the first three, and I know how to combine them, but I'm having problems removing the non alpha characters.
For example, if the columns looked as follows: First Last John O'Connor
I'd want the result to look like OCOJOH, however, I'm getting O'CJOH.
The second issue is how would I do something similar if the First and Last Name were in the same column and string.
For example, if the column looks as follows:
Name John O'Connor Publishing
I'd like to pull the first 3 from the first string before the space and then the next 3 so it would be as follows:
JOHOCO
Finally, I want to compare these new IDs, and add numbers to them.
So if I had the following First Last John O'Connor Johnny O'Connell
The first would be OCOJOH01 The second would be OCOJOH02
If there are not any duplicates with the new ID, I'd like to call it OCOJOH01 and then move on.
I would like to change the format of dates that is in colum using query analyzer. The name of the colum is StartD and this how they look: 3292006 I would like to insert the / / . Can someone show me how to accomplish it.
I have a database with couple of store procedure and views. Is there any way that i can find out all sp or views which contains word like *svc*. I am talking about the containt of the sp and views not name.
We are replacing one module so i have to change the all sp and views which use table or view start with svc.
in the market place that will run a query on multiple DBs acrossmultiple servers? Without having to manually connect to each server?If so, can anyone provide a link for it.Thanks
I am new to SQL and need help running a performance check on our companies dtabase. I use SQL Enterprise Manager 2000. Could someone please help me accomplish this?
hi everybody! this is my first post, so I'd like to say hallo to everyone!
I "work" on SQL Server 2000, and I would like to ask you a question.
Is it correct that i cannot set a database user as database owner (using command sp_changedbowner 'user_name')? QA returns this error message: "Server: Msg 15110, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changedbowner, Line 46 The proposed new database owner is already a user in the database." so I have to use sp_revokedbaccess and then I can change the db owner.
how is the query analyzer opening a database??? Does someone knows the command it uses to open the connection ??
I ask this because i have corrupted datafiles stored on a flash card which i can not open with connection.open but the analyzer opens them normally. After that i can open the datafiles using normal code
Does it use any special params?? I get the corrupted files on power down and after that i can not open them from my application. I can only do this after i open them once with the query analyzer
The database is about 20 MB stored on a flash card
Say I have this query in my stored procedure. The problem I am facing is @OrgUID contains no value, so I put these 2 lines to debug. Am I using the right way to debug? I couldn't see the value of @OrgUID using this way. OrgUID is the PK in Organization. INSERT INTO Organization (OrgName) VALUES (@DealerName)SELECT @OrgUID = @@IDENTITYprint @OrgUIDreturn
