I know how to select the most recent row from a database:
SELECT TOP (1) Location, Date FROM Images ORDER BY Date DESC
But how do I select the second to most recent? or the third most recent? or the 4th, ect, ect, ect.
There must be some method to it, anyone have any suggestions?
I'm trying to determine the oldest timestamp that meets given criteria which includes a specific action_type code. That code can legitimately be performed more than once on an item (all actions are recorded in an actions table, so the full history is available).
actions table (columns: action_id, request_id, action_type, action_time, action_reason)
I'm having trouble getting the most recent timestamp for the given action_type I'm looking for, when that action_type has been performed more than once.
My intent with the query below is to get the most recent action_time and it's request_id that meets the criteria
SELECT TOP 1 a.action_time, r.request_id FROM requests r JOIN incident i ON r.request_id = i.request_id LEFT JOIN actions a ON r.request_id = a.request_id WHERE i.refund_type = 1 AND (r.status_code = 3 OR r.status_code = 14) AND a.action_type = 3 ORDER BY a.action_time
So for example, if the item with request_id 1334 has had action_type 3 performed on it twice, once at 2007-10-15 13:30:00 and then again at 2007-10-17 14:40:00, it's picking up the former, when I want the later. That it had action_type 3 performed on it twice is legitimate. (larger context an item was approved by a manager, then rejected by a processor, and then approved by a manager again after resubmission)
Hopefully this has made sense so far.
So, how do I make sure I'm getting the most recent action time, when I don't know if the item in particular will have more than one of this action type performed on it?
There is a large data table called emp_history on an SQL Server, which contains the employment history of each employee. The significant columns are as follows:
entry_id employee_id start_date position
where entry_id is the primary key and auto-increments.What I need, is to create a query to extract the employee_id and position, based on the most recent record (most recent start_date) for each employee.
We have 2 Tables, tblMain, which contains unique products and tblHistory, which contains a history of the product Records are added to tblHistory daily and then the prices in tblMain are updated with those prices. The problem that we have is that since there are multiple instances of the same product in tblHistory, we're not always updating using the most recent price. Below is the current SQL that we are using.
Update TM SET TM.Price = TH.PriceHist,
TM.DateUpdated = TH.DateUpdatedHist
FROM tblHistory TH LEFT JOIN tblMain TM ON TH.ProdCode = TM.ProdCode
Below is a sample of data in tblHistory and the records that I would need to be used for the update.
ProdIDPriceHistDateUpdateHist
115.257/20/2015
117.157/15/2015
120.357/23/2015
520.107/25/2015
With the above. I would need corresponding records in tblMain to be updated with the entry on 7/23/2015 for ProdID 1 and with ProdID 5
Empid 1 has 2 entries for the date 09/01/2015 and my left join returns both of those entries. What do I need to alter to make it so that only the most recent entry is returned not both entries?
Create Table #one
(
empid varchar(100)
,empbadgeid varchar(100)
,emplunchtime decimal(18,4)
,empbreaktime decimal(18,4)
,empworktime decimal(18,4)

I have tested the code below to remove duplicate table entries based on the field IntOOS. This code works; however, I want to ensure I am removing the oldest entries and keeping the most recent entry. The field to key on this would be something like Max(ID). What would be the best way to ensure I keep the most recent table entry?

Hi guys,
I am having a problem in outputting the last two dates that a bill has been sent out.
Background:
A customers recieves a bill 4 times a year. The dates for issuing these bills are not fixed and I dont know the date that bills are usually sent out.
The database that I am using stores all of the dates that a bill would have been sent out.

A customer recently requested to see the dates of last 2 bills along with their value.
I know that you can view a customer last date by using the following statement.

Hello,
I have a table of names/dates as such:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 1 1/3/2007Class 1 1/5/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 2 2/3/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
What I want to do is select only the nearest entry from the list for each distinct class, so the results are like this:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
So basically, I want the first upcoming class in the list for each distinct class name. How do I do this? I'm using SQL 2005 Express.
Thanks.
I have a DB with the fields: Id, Date, Name, Status.
Now I want to select all distinct names with the most recent corresponding status.
With the SELECT DISTINCT Name, I get only one record per different name which is ok.
Now I want to add next to each different name, the most recent added status.
Can I combine those 2 in 1 query? I want to show them using PHP on a website.
Now I get a table with a row for each different name, but I can't add a second column where the most recent Status is showed for that name.
I need to get all customer records with the most recent tDate. A customer should never have duplicate tDate records, as only one record per day is allowed per customer, yet there somehow there are duplicates. Given this, I need to get the record with the Max date and Max ID. the ID column is an auto-incrementing Identity column.Below is the code without the Max ID column logic
SELECT tCustID, MAX(tDate) AS tDate--get MAX tDate records
FROM table1
GROUP BY tCustID
Hi, I know this is probably very simple but I am pretty new to this and have tried looking but cant seem to get the search criteria right. I have a database with a storeDate field which is of shortdatetime type. I am connecting to the database (MSSQL) via a stored procedure and returning all the records. I then use the code foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { DateTime dtTo = DateTime.Now; DateTime dtFrom = DateTime.Parse(dr["storeDate"].ToString()); TimeSpan diff = dtTo.Subtract(dtFrom); } I am basically trying to find out the age of the database entry by subtracting it from the current DateTime so i can delete records over a certain age. The problem (at least one of them!) is retrieving the "storeDate" object from the database and storing it in the dtFrom object. I have tried just assigning it directly as dtFrom = dr["storeDate"] and various other methods but I just don't know enough to assign it! Can anyone help me with this or spot any other mistakes in this process of removing old files automatically. Greatly Appreciated,Sean.

I am using a script component to retrieve some values from a server. This script component using Script task which uses VB.NET code. I have tested the VB.NET code and it returns a non null value for a string field 'sentence'. The 'sentence' feild is then passed on to an OLE DB Command transformation to be stored into the database along with a couple of other feilds.
The OLE DB Command transformation uses a stored procedure to store these feilds into the database. But when I check my table in the database, all other feilds are stored properly other than the 'sentence' feild which is null.
I am wondering what could be causingthis problem.
Thanks

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]
[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
Thank you in advance for any and all replies...
