Selecting Lowest DateTime If It Meets Some Conditions

Dec 6, 2012

ID (PK), userID (FK), from [Datetime], to[datetime], type [int] , value [nvarchar]

Conditions
I want to select the column "to" which is a datetime-column for all users within the table.

One user can have multiple registered rows in "mytable", so I want to select the row that contains the newest "from" date.The newest "from"-column for a specific user is where I am struggling... Because if the "to"-column of any of the registered rows by the current user is equal to the newest "from -1 day" column for the user, I want to select the second newest from-date.

Code:
//Handwritten
DECLARE @from DATETIME //Current Selected datetime [the newest of the current user doing the query]
DECLARE @id INT //userID
DECLARE @tbl TABLE (from datetime, userid int)

[code]....

But for user ID 201 [all users with Type = 1], I need to run through some more code, to figure out which date we want... Which date do I want? The "from"-date that is the newest, but if "to" is just 1 day before "from", I want to select the "from" at that row instead... Example with numbers [integers] instead of Date:

Code:
From - To
5 8
10 15
16 20

I want to select "10" in the from column as the maximum "from"-integer, and not 16. Because in the "To" column we have a match in the "from" column on the condition "To + 1" [15+ 1 == 16], so then I want the "from" value where "To" equals 15, which is 10. The top row I do not want, because the difference between From and To [10 - 8 is larger than 1]...

This means that the Image shown... I am first selecting the "1", then I do some checks, if the "to" for the user is 1 day earlier than the MAX(from) I grab a new "from" value...

Code:
SELECT MIN (t1.from) FROM table as t1
WHERE
t1.from IN
(
SELECT t2.to+ 1 FROM table as t2
WHERE t2.userID = @id
)

Adding Conditions (if/else) When Selecting Fields

Aug 18, 2004

We have three fields in a table: firstname, Surname & Organisation. Firstname & surname will always be filled but in most cases organisation is NULL.

Part of what these fields will be used for is a mailshot. If there is no organisation data then the mailshot will open with 'Dear Firstname Surname, ' but if the organisation is present they would like 'Dear Organisation'.

Is it possible to create a select state that checks the organisation field, and if a value is present return that value else return the firstname, surname combination? I have tried various things but I cannot get it to work.

I know the ideal situation would be to do this type of condition check at scripting level (PHP, ASP, Visual Basic) but my bosses would like to try it at SQL level.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Selecting The Top Record With Certain Conditions?

May 14, 2014

The situation is that we have resources (trucks) that perform shifts. Shifts consists of actions. A resource can perform multiple shifts.

For every resource we want to find the record that:

- Is 'younger' than the last realized action.

- Has actionkind pickup, deliver or clean

I have constructed a solution with CTE and row_number but I was curious if there would be other alternatives. The fact that I'm joining a CTE onto itself and subject the outcome to a partition makes me think there are sharper ways.

Note that the action id in the data below is also sorted but in practice this need not be the case. The sorting key is prevalent.

output of the query is

id_action id_resource actionKindCode
4665 4 clean
34540 96 pickup
24000 901 clean
declare @mytable table (
id_action int,
id_shift int,

Bcp Meets Dr. Watson

Sep 29, 1999

I'm trying to use bcp to move a table into SQL Server 6.5. The command I am using is bcp CCI..contacts in A:Contacts.txt -fC:contacts.fmt -Usa -P -eC:errors.txt. When executing, I receive the Dr. Watson error message shown here:
Exception: access violation (0xc0000005), Address: 0x77f64d28
If I run DRWTSN32.log it shows the application error to be the following:
c0000005 RtlFreeHeap(77f64d28)

Any ideas why??

JOIN Efficiency Using Multiple ON Conditions Versus WHERE Conditions

Jan 10, 2008

My question is fairly simple. When I join between two tables, I always use the ON syntax. For example:


SELECT

*
FROM

Users

JOIN UserRoles

ON (Users.UserRoleId = UserRoles.UserRoleId)


No problems there. However, if I then decide to further filter the selection based on some trait of the UserRole, I have two options: I can add the condition as a WHERE statement, or I can add the condition within the ON block.

--Version 1:

SELECT

*
FROM

Users

JOIN UserRoles

ON (Users.UserRoleId = UserRoles.UserRoleId)
WHERE

UserRoles.Active = 'TRUE'


-- Version 2

SELECT

*
FROM

Users

JOIN UserRoles

ON (Users.UserRoleId = UserRoles.UserRoleId

AND UserRoles.Active = 'TRUE')


So, the question is, which is faster/better, if either? The Query Analyzer shows the two queries have the exact same execution plan, which makes sense, since they're both joining the same tables. However, I'm wondering if adding the condition in the ON statement results in fewer rows the JOIN statement initially needs to join up, thus reducing the overall initial size of the results table before the WHERE conditions are applied.

So is there a difference, performance wise? I imagine that if Users had a thousand records, and UserRoles had 10 records, then the JOIN would create a cartesian product of the two tables, resulting in 10,000 records in the table before the WHERE conditions are applied. However, if only three of the UserRoles is set to Active, would that mean that the resulting table, before applying WHERE conditions, would only contain 3000 records?

Thanks for whatever information you can provide.

SQL Server 2008 :: Test If Each Subset Meets Requirements

Feb 25, 2015

CREATE TABLE #tblTemplateBlocks
(
TemplateID int,
BlockID int,
OrderID int

[Code] ....

I have a table called TemplateBlocks which contains which Blocks are on a Template. In this example - just one template - with three Blocks.

Table tblFields contains a list of Fields that are on each TemplateID/BlockID. In this example there are 3 fields on each TemplateID/BlockID pair.

Before I can use a template, I have to check that, in tblFields, for each Template/BlockID pairing - one of the fields must be set as the Stage Base (I cannot have 2 fields as StageBase or no fields as StageBase). In the example data above, the data would be okay as each Template/BlockID pairing has one row where StageBase is true.

Having checked that each Template/BlockID pairing has a StageBase, I need to check that each row where StageBase is true has a value for the WeekStart column and that, taking into account the order of the Blocks in tblTemplateBlocks, the values in WeekStart for each TemplateID/BlockID pairing are getting progressively bigger.

So, for example, the example data above would fail because the third TemplateID/BlockID pairing has no value for the WeekStart column in the row where StageBase is true.

If I added a value of 2 for WeekStart in the row for the third TemplateID/Block that has a StageBase of true - again the data would fail because, taking into account the order of the Blocks - the values for WeekStart would be 0,3,2 and these numbers need to increase.

0,3,4 would be fine.
0,3,10 would be fine.
0,3,3 would fail.

I can do this easily using a cursor or two - but how to do this without cursors.

Lowest Cost

Nov 30, 2004

OK, this should be an easy one but my brain isn't quite working right now.

I have a table, we'll call Table1 like so:

ProductID Supplier Cost
12345 A 14.50
12345 B 13.49
12345 C 12.00
43222 A 15.00
43222 B 15.21
43222 C 13.99
12312 B 14.00
15421 A 21.99
15421 C 20.00


And I want to Get the name of the Supplier with the Lowest cost,
I know I can go like:

SELECT ProductID, MIN(Cost) FROM Table1 GROUP BY ProductID

and get the lowest cost, but what would be the most effiecent way to get all three fields returned by the query? I need the ProductID, Supplier and Cost.

Thanks,

How To Insert A Row With Lowest Possible Key?

Aug 29, 2007

Hi, this seems to be an easy question but I can't find a quick answer to it.
I have an asp page that communicates with a database and I want the following example to work...

Insert 5 records into the DB with primary keys 1-5.
Remove record with key number 2.


Now, if I insert a new record I want it to take the smallest available key number (in this case number 2). This will save space in the database and keep the key numbers from increasing forever.

Does auto increment work like this?
If not, how do I do it?


Thanks for any replies!

Selecting The Most Recently Edited Item AND Selecting A Certain Type If Another Doesn't Exist

Sep 20, 2007

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...

Select Row With The Lowest Value In Column

Dec 20, 2007

I'm using sql express 2005. I need help with buliding a view.



I'm trying to join two tables and then, if duplicate ID's exist, retrieve the row with the lowest value in a specific column.



For instance:



TableHousehold:

ID Name Status

001 The Smith€™s A

002 The Jone€™s A

003 The Adam€™s A

004 The Grant€™s A



TableResidents

Pk HouseholdID ResidentID Name Gender

1 001 1 Mary Smith F

2 001 2 Jason Smith M

3 001 3 Rachel Smith F

4 002 1 Mike Jones M

5 002 2 Sara Jones F

6 003 2 Erik Adams M



The resident ID is auto increment and assigned by the server. It is possible for resident 1 for each household to have been deleted. It is also possible that a household does not contain any residents. Therefore, I wish to join these tables and return this:



ID HouseHoldName Status ResidentName Gender

001 The Smith€™s A Mary Smith F

002 The Jone€™s A Mike Jones M

003 The Adam€™s A Erik Adams M

004 The Grant€™s A null null



There are other columns in both tables that I will want to join, but for simplicity, the above example illustrates my need.



I was able to accomplish this by creating two views. But I€™d like to try and do this in one.

DA1000 GBN$110.00
DA668 GTN$100.00
DA880 GTN$200.00

In this case DA1100 is listed twice with 2 different prices. I only want to display the one with the lowest price. So the result I want is:
Model Make Price
DA1100 GTN$88.00
DA1000 GBN$110.00
DA668 GTN$100.00

GROUP BY Speed Up Query On Data That Is Already At Lowest Granularity?

Jul 9, 2015

I have just been running a query which I was planning on improving by removing a redundant GROUP BY (there are about 20 columns, and one of the columns returned is atomic, so will mean that the "group by" will never manage to group any of the data) but when I modified the query to remove the grouping, this actually seems to slow the query, and I can't see why this would be the case.

Both queries return the same number of rows (69000), as I expected, and looking at the query plan, then they look nearly identical, other than at the start, there is a "stream aggregate" and "sort" being performed. The estimated data size is 64MB for the non-grouped query (runs in 6 min 41 secs), vs 53MB for the aggregated query (runs in 5 min 31 secs), and the estimated row size is smaller when aggregated.

Can rationalise this? In my mind, the data that is being pulled is identical, plus there is extra computation for doing an unnecessary aggregation, so the aggregated query should be unquestionably slower, but the database engine has other ideas; it seems to be able to work more quickly when it needs to do unnecessary work :) Perhaps something to do with an inefficient query plan for the non-aggregated query? I would have thought looking at the actual execution plan might have made this apparent, but both plans look very similar.

Edit: More information, the "group by" query had two aggregations on it, a count of one of the columns, and an average of another one. I changed this so that it was just "1" instead of the count, and for the average, I changed it to be the expression within the average aggregate, since the aggregation effectively does not do anything.

Would anyone be able to help?

SQL Server 2012 :: Finding Lowest Level Descendants In Hierarchy

Mar 11, 2015

I've got a fairly large hierarchy table and I'm trying to put together a query to find the lowest level descendants of the hierarchy. I think there must be some way to use the "Breadth-first" approach that's stated in the MSDN technet sites about SQL Server HierarchyID but i'm not sure how to write the necessary T-SQL to traverse that. I know I can get all the descendants of a parent node like this

SELECT *
FROM AdventureWorks2012.HumanResources.Employee
WHERE OrganizationNode.IsDescendantOf(@ParentNode) = 1

However, this query returns all levels for that parent's branch. If I just wanted list of employees that were at the lowest level of the branch(es) for this parent node, how would I do this?
