Retrieve All Rows With Largest Value In A Particular Column?

Jul 18, 2012

I am trying to retrieve all rows with the largest value in a particular column. The largest value could return many rows for a particular users. Here is what I have thus far.

SELECT DISTINCT
ID, NAME, FOP, ACCT, CTNUM, ENDDATE, DEBIT, CREDIT, TRANSACTION_DATE, EXPORTED, CALENDAR_YEAR, FISCAL_YEAR, PAYROLL_IDENTIFIER,
PAYROLL_NUMBER, [EARN-SEQNO], EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
FROM (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID, ACCT, PAYROLL_NUMBER,EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
ORDER BY EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER DESC) AS RN
FROM PAYROLLYEAREND ) s
WHERE RN = 1 AND ID = '16443' AND PAYROLL_NUMBER ='7'

In the above example, the EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is populated with values from 0 to 12. Could vary per user and PAYROLL_NUMBER. The query above returns 48 rows. However, all I want are the rows where EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is equal to the highest, which is in the above example is 12. The result would be 29 rows. The where clause is not part of overall query. Just isolating on one ID.

CA10001

SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA') ORDER BY Schoolmastercode
 The largest comes back as CA10001
When I try....
SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA')
 The largest comes back as CA1278
What am I doing wrong?

Select One Record Only

Nov 14, 2001

Hi

Here is my example: I have the following table

ID Name Phone
--- ---- -----
1 John 1234567
1 John H.
2 Dave 9876543
2 Dave Smith

I want to select only one record of each ID, the output should be

ID Name Phone
--- ---- -----
1 John 1234567
2 Dave 9876543

It doesn't matter which record to select, but I need just a single complete record. I can't use select distinct ID because it will not show the other fieldnames.

Thanks

Trying To Select Last Record...

Nov 8, 2004

I have a sql query that looks for values in a few different databases....

is there a way to select the last record in the table b/c I am pulling the hours worked on jobs and one person may have 3 job titles but i want it to show the balance of hours under the most recent job... Instead all the jobs are showing the same value even though only one of them had those hours under it. I think a way to get around this is to select the last value b/c that is under the job title most recently worked and they are in order by timesheets which can be ordered by date...any ideas?

Select Most Recent Record

Dec 21, 2006

Every hour we capture some values from our factory (position of pumps, valves, ...) in our sql server 2000 db.

Normally 1 record is added to the db.
00:00:00
01:00:00
02:00:00
...
21:00:00
22:00:00
23:00:00

All of these values are displayed in an Excel sheet. One sheet contains all the data from one month.

I noticed a problem last week when 2 records were added: first one at 19:00:00 and the second one at 19:00:01

We only want to keep the most recent record (19:00:01) in a situation like this but I can't seem to work out an SQL-statement :o

This is what we have know. It used to work fine untill we had 2 record being added instead of one.
SELECT TimeOfCapture, Value1, Value2, Value3
FROM FactoryTable
WHERE (MONTH(TimeOfCapture) = MONTH(GETDATE())) AND (YEAR(TimeOfCapture) = YEAR(GETDATE()))

SELECT TOP 2 From Each Details Record

Hi everyone,

I am having a header table and details table and I want to display first 2 records against each header from details, whatever number of records are there in details against each header.


Example :
=======
Details table is as follows
HeaderID DetailsID
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 4
3 5
3 6
3 7
3 8


output should be:
TransDate SupplierName HeaderID DetailsID
1/1/2000 abc 1 1
1/1/2000 dsds 1 2
2/3/2003 fgd 2 4
2/4/2005 sdsd 3 5
1/1/2006 fgfdg 3 6


I am using the following query

SELECT H.TransDate, H.SupplierName, D.DetailsID FROM
Header H, Details D
WHERE H.HeaderID = D.DetailsID
AND D.DetailsID IN (SELECT TOP 2 DetailsID FROM Details WHERE HeaderID = H.HeaderID)


As I am dealing with very huge data it is taking very long time to execute.

Is there any better way to accomplish the task?

Thanks.

How To Select Earliest Record

Mar 17, 2012

im trying to get the earliest record. data is below

note_id/ doc_received_date/ bankruptcy_date/ sp_recorded_date
2332/ 20090106<---- / 20081219/ 20090106
2332/ 20090323/ 20081219/ 20090323
2332/ 20090413/ 20081219/ 20090413
2332/ 20090507/ 20081219/ 20090507

because the bankruptcy_date date are all equal i would need to pull one record with the earliest date from the doc_received_date. The date with the arrow is the record i want. So basically i would like to show this result

note_id/ doc_received_date/ bankruptcy_date/ sp_recorded_date
2332 20090106 20081219 20090106

Select Max Record With A Condition

Sep 17, 2012

I am wondering how to select the Max date within a table where a timestamp is within 2 second of the other

IDTimestamp
1NULL
209/17/2012 11:04:32
309/17/2012 11:05:44
409/17/2012 11:05:45

So I need a query to return

IDTimestamp
409/17/2012 11:05:45

as 11:05:45 is the max of 09/17/2012 11:05:44 and 09/17/2012 11:05:45 and they are within 2 seconds of eachother.
