Hello, I have a reference table. This table has an effective date and end date, and I need to get a single set of values at a point in time. Suppose the following hotel rating values are the values that I want to pull out of the table: 1 Star2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star This value has other information associated with it (benchmarks and such) and so it's possible that one of the 2 star entries gets end-dated, and then a new 2 Star entry gets created with an effective date and no end date. How can I query so that I only get one 2 Star entry at any point, and get the point in time where the date is between the effective and end date, but only pull back a single set of entries, one distinct rating value. So, suppose the first entry is end-dated 7/1, if I look at old data, I want to see the old benchmarks and so I want the previous entry end-dated 7/1; otherwise, I want to see the new end-date, with the new 2 star entry with no end date. How do I do that? Make sense?
I am importing a text file that list invoice columns. The invoice detail table needs the line items to be listed with sequential numbers. I import the file to a temp table to do the work in and I know I need to have the cursor do loop through and count, however, I have no more hair to pull out.

I am using MS SQL 2005 and above table is a big table (approx 10 million records)
Basically I'm running a number of selects, using unions to write out each select query as a distinct line in the output. Each line needs to be multiplied by -1 in order to create an offset balance (yes this is balance sheet related stuff) for each line. Each select will have a different piece of criteria.
Although I have it working, I'm thinking there's a much better or cleaner way to do it (I use the word better loosely)
Example: SELECT 'Asset', 'House', TotalPrice * -1 FROM Accounts WHERE AvgAmount > 0 UNION SELECT 'Balance', 'Cover', TotalPrice FROM Accounts WHERE AvgAmount > 0
What gets messy here is having to write a similar set of queries where the amount is < 0 or = 0
I'm thinking something along the lines of building a table function contains all the descriptive text returning the relative values based on the AvgAmount I pass to it.
Hello.I have one serious problem with COUNT in TSQL.I use MS SQL Server 2000.I would like to count rows depending on data in it.What I meat is:I have fields like:region | month | year | some_count |-------|-------|------|-------------|LA | 1 | 2003| 4 |LA | 2 | 2003| 2 |LA | 3 | 2003| 1 |LA | 4 | 2003| 6 |VV | 1 | 2003| 3 |VV | 2 | 2003| 7 |VV | 4 | 2003| 20 |VV | 6 | 2003| 3 |BB | 2 | 2002| 1 |etc...And what I would like to get from it is:region | jan2003 | feb2003 | mar2003 | apr2003 | may2003 | june2003 | etc...-------|----------|---------|-----------|----------|----------|-----------|--LA | 4 | 2 | 1 | 6 |0 | 0 | 0VV | 3 | 7 | 0 | 20 | 0| 3 | 0BB | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |0 | 0 | 0etc...Is it possible to do it in views? if yes then how?I could use temp tables for each month but it is not solution when I have 3yearsand more later then it will be round 40 temporary tables.Thanks for any response.Regards,Casper
I want to make a SP to update table Product with information I get from table Orderdetail.
Create Procedure UpdateVoorraad §OrderId (int) As Select ProductId, Tal From Orderdetail where OrderId = @OrderId
-- this query get info from table orderdetail : ProductId (integer) and Tal (smallint)
-- Tal = Number of Products
-- Here I want to loop through the query above
-- and for each record in the query I want to update
-- table Product.
Update Product Set Product.Voorraad = Product.Voorraad - Tal where ProductId = ProductId
To do this must I make a create a tempory table, store the query result in the table loop through the table and update table product, or can I try to create a function without a temporary table.
Suppose we have the following table in our database;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PERMISSION]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [USERID] [int] NOT NULL, [STARTTIME] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL, [ENDTIME] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL, [REASON] [nvarchar](250) NULL, [PERMISSIONTYPEID] [int] NOT NULL,
[code]....
This code works pretty well. But I don't want to do this with "select" since there is OUTPUT clause in T-SQL. So the CommandText property will be changed into this;
well, not only this statement gives an error while executing; but also, no such usage defined in the
documentation of OUTPUT Clause. Actually the documentation tell us to use Temporary Tables for that. So I have to change CommandText into this; command.CommandText = @"DECLARE @MyTableVar table(ID int, CREATETIME smalldatetime); insert PERMISSION output INSERTED.ID, INSERTED.CREATETIME into @MyTableVar
code]....
No temporary tables required; thus, no "type spesific" things required. This way is easier to create dynamic queries though. Only,the RETURNING INTO clause.So, I was wondering; why MS-SQL (T-SQL) forces users to "declare a temporary table (type specific)" and "execute select on the temporary table in order to assign values to output parameters" while using "the OUTPUT Clause". Comparing to the Oracle's sample I'm just using "the RETURNING INTO Clause in order to assign values to output parameters" and that's it; very easy and dynamic. To Summarize, Oracle's RETURNING INTO Clause is better than MS-SQL's OUTPUT Clause, but in fact they're doing the same job.
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)
I have a table called acc1152 with the field accno. depending on what the value of this field is, i need to replace it with a new value. These are the values i need to update
old value new value 7007 4007 7008 4008 4008 7 7009 4009 7011 4011 4011 ' ' 7010 4010 4010 1 7016 4016 4016 1 4506 4006 4512 4012
how do I write one query that will accomplish this?
Is there a way to link an Access 97 database to a SQL database which would get updated as changes in the Access 97 database take place? In fact, the SQL database will be just a copy of an Access database. If there were changes made to the fields in the Access database these changes should be made to the entries in the SQL database as well.
sometimes, when tables are poorly joined, we have exactly same rows as a result.. so we use distinct.. but how can we count(*) the distinct rows?
select distinct d.docrefid from tbljobDocuments d left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
will return me
docrefid DC01C06027
but when i try to count(*) only the distinct record, it count all..
select distinct d.docrefid, count(*) from tbljobDocuments d left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700' group by d.docrefid
select a.patientid, a.providerid from PatientDrugList a JOIN Admin..Loadinstance b on a.intLoadInstanceId = b.intLoadInstanceId where a.MailReasonTypeId = -1 and b.SubClientId = 22 and b.StatusTypeId > 0
Now how could I get distinct patientid count and distinct providerid count
I have a table which stores the shift information for employees. The table contains 10 columns as Employeename,Employeeno,month,year,shifttimings etc. If an employee works a day in a particular shift, then a row will be inserted in to the above table for that employee.
Now at the end of the month i wanted to calculate the shift details for each employee for a particular month of a given year like employeename,employeeno, noofdays(countof shiftdays).
I have an SQL statement that looks like the following:
SELECT [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName, COUNT([Docs-DocsEntities].filename) AS numDocs FROM [Docs-Entities] LEFT JOIN [Docs-DocsEntities] ON [Docs-Entities].entityID = [Docs-DocsEntities].entityID GROUP BY [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName
but the problem is that numDocs (the COUNT) is not returning a distinct count. In the DocEntities table, a particular document can actually have multiple entries with the same entityID so that produces inflated numbers for numDocs. But when I do a SELECT DISTINCT on a particular entityID, the results are less and don't match the numDocs number because I only need to list the document one time. This is not a huge issue, but it looks bad on my site.
Is there a way that I can make COUNT count distinctly?
Thanks for the help and I hope I worded that cllearly...
I'm struggling to fin a way to use DISTINCT keyword with ROLLUP (or Cube).For example,SELECT employee_city, employee_country, COUNT(DISTINCT employee_name)FROM employeeGROUP BY employee_city, employee_country WITH ROLLUPthat query does not work.Is there a workaround?Thx.

I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks
hello, i have a working stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, PictureID, DateCommented, COUNT(CommentID) OVER (PARTITION BY PictureID) AS 'NrOfComments' FROM Comments WHERE PictureID = @PictureID witch returns among others the number of comments for a picture i need to select the number of distinct users who commented that user too, so i added this at SELECT statement, COUNT(DISTINCT UserName) AS 'Expr1' i get that error: "Colum 'Comments.CommentID' is invalig in the select list beacuse it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause." what should i do, to select the number of distinct users who commented on a specific picture? here are the table rows, if you need that CommentID --- UserName --- PictureID --- DateCommented please help me, thank you
It doesn't seem possibly, but maybe? Is there a way to have an expression be used, but also benefit from using distinct on a column?
I'm looking for something like: sum(case when dtEntered > '1-1-2006' then 1 else 0 end) but also encorporating somehow a distinct count on UserName. So a username showing twice would only count once, and this would only be counted if the record's dtEntered date was greater than Jan 1, 2006.
The reason I'm writing the statement that way is because there are 5 columns which aggregate data by different time periods.
If it's not possible, I will just end up joining to the table multiple times, putting the date filter in the where clause.
I am trying to get the below query to work and can't seem to get past this error. Not sure but everywhere I look I think my syntax is right. I am probably missing something obvious but I'm just back from vacation and trying to get in the swing of things. Any help would be appreciated.

I've tried variations on a SELECT statement like below but have been unable to find a way to count only those types per fileNo that have all partNo completed (and to count all types per fileNo with a partNo of 0 and a completed date as they have no parts):
SELECT [FileNo], COUNT(DISTINCT [Type]) AS CountOfAPs FROM APs WHERE (completed IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY [File]
