Transact SQL :: Another Way Of Finding Max Values?
Oct 2, 2015
I have a query I am currently attempting to optimise. Â The query joins in on a sub table (queries the same table) to garner a maximum date value for each row to display. Â For example:
SELECT Column1
,Column2
,DateColumn
FROM Table1 T
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Column1 + Column2 AS ConcatColumn, Column3, MAX(DateColumn) AS dt
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Column1 + Column2
) X ON X.ConcatColumn = T.Column1 + Column2 AND X.dt = T.DateColumn
Is there any way I can write this another way (preferably more cleaner/optimised)?

Hi
I am new to SQL. My scenario is I get a string from the user I need to match this string with value present in 2 cloumns. If the string is present in either of the column then i should select that particular record from the table.
Now my question is if i Have to match with one cloumn i can used charindex function is there any function with which i can match the string with data present in more than one cloumn.
Thanks Much

I want to write a query to bring out any records in a table
where any of its fields contain a null value. I could do it in this way:
select *
from
customers
where name is
null
or role
is null
or email
is null
u003c/p>u003cp styleu003d"margin:0cm 0cm 0pt">u003cfont faceu003d"Times New Roman" sizeu003d"3">u003cfont coloru003d"#000000">However I want to perform a similar function for a number of tables and the method above would mean more sql and maintenance.u003cspan>Â u003c/span>I was hoping there was a simple way to do the same thingu003cspan> ie find any rows with a blank fieldu003c/span>?u003cspan>u003cfont faceu003d"Arial" sizeu003d"2">Â u003c/font>u003c/span>u003c/font>u003c/font>u003c/p>u003c/span>u003c/font>u003c/div>",0]

However I want to perform a similar function for a

do the same thing ie find any rows with a blank

Hello,
I have a web form with a check box list with 5 values. Each of them is an int value, and the user can select multiple values from the check box list. For example:
Status:
1) Single
2) Married
3) In Relationship
4) Divorced
5) Any
These values correspond to a column called "RelationshipStatus" which holds an int value of NULL or 0-5.
So the value passed to my SQL query would be any combination of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (Which denote any of the above). It could look like this:
@Status = '132'
Now my question is how would I do a select statement that finds any row with one of those value (Any row with 1, or 3, or 2)? If there is a '5' in the varible then the select statement should return any row regardless of the value.
Table Name: "USER_TABLE"
Column Name: "Relationship_Status"
Value Type: INT
Thank you experts!

Hi Everyone,
This is the table I have:
Sections Class1 Class2 Class3 Class4
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A 30 20 30 40
B 40 15 10 10
C 20 5 10 5
Total 90 40 50 55
There are around 6 more classes which I haven't mentioned. The resultant table that I need would be something like this.
Sections Class1 Class4 Others
-------------------------------------------------
A 30 40 50
B 40 10 25
C 20 5 15
Total 90 55 90
What I want is the top two maximum values to appear and everything else to be clubbed into Others and correspondingly their numbers to be summed up i.e. Dynamically depending on the total only those classes with maximum 'Total' value to appear.

I would like to know how I could code so that I can get the ending inventory of each day. The following is my data
CREATE TABLE #TEMP
(
DATERCVD DATETIME
,ACCTID INT
,DATESENT DATETIME
)
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES ('01/01/2015', 1 , '01/05/2015')
[Code] ....
So my query results should be something like this:
InventoryDate Received Sent Ending
1/1/2015 4 1 3
1/2/2015 5 0 8
1/3/2015 3 2 9
1/4/2015 0 4 5
1/5/2015 0 5 0
TOTAL 12 12

how to find all possible combinations of values, for example:
My table includes:
Code:
CREATE TABLE temp1 (item varchar(50), ORDER int);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('apple',1);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('pear',2);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('blueberry',3);
I need the output to be like this:
apple
pear
blueberry
apple, pear
apple, blueberry
pear, blueberry
apple, pear, blueberry
I don't need the reverse of each. For example, I need only 'apple, pear'... I don't need 'pear, apple'.

Hi all...I've got a group of tables and I wanted to first see which tablescontained a fields containing the "Date/Time" data type. And I wassuccessful in doing so...here's the query:(select a.name tablename, b.name colnamefrom sysobjects a, syscolumns bwhere a.name = object_name(b.id)AND B.TYPE = 61 AND A.XTYPE = 'U')Now...my only issue is find which query I can run (On each table)which returns to me ONLY the values containing the date/time stampwith milli seconds (Ex: 01/01/2007 10:10:50:987)I require this since we are planning on shifting those tables to theOracle platform, and we've had issues doing this while loading theextracted information, since it was not taking the values containingthe "milliseconds".Is there a way to do this? Or is it better to simply remove themilliseconds all togeather? I wouldn't mind doing so provided that itdoesn't includes changes to the actual data type.

Here's what I'd like to be able to do: I have a queue that holds any number tasks, so something like this here:
queue_1 task_a
task_b
task_c
task_d
Workers are assigned to teams, Red team, Blue team, Green team. What I need to do is identify instances where all tasks for a given queue have been handled by one team. Once a task has been assigned to a queue any team can work on it, but when only one team has completed every task in a queue a bonus should be awarded.
I'm looking for this to award a bonus:
queue_num task_num team
queue_1 task_a red
task_b red
task_c red
task_d red
No bonus for any team here
queue_num task_num team
queue_1 task_a red
task_b blue
task_c red
task_d green
So the red team earns a bonus. Now, I have thousands of queues each containing any number of tasks. Using T-SQL how can I find all queues where only one team was responsible for completeing every task assigned to the queue? Do I have to use a cursor and eval each task coming through or is there a faster, more efficient way to handle this in SQL?

I am using Access 2007 and I have 10 columns of data.
I am trying to select all the data from all 10 columns where the first column's data returns only the Unique values and the other columns return all the data from the row that is returned from the first column.
I have used this
SELECT DISTINCT [SFR Rates All].Sorter, [SFR Rates All].SProgram, [SFR Rates All].S_Price, [SFR Rates All].Min_Loan, [SFR Rates All].Max_Loan
FROM [SFR Rates All];
But that returns all the data in the table and all values in the Sorter column with duplicates because each row has distinct data.
I am trying to return unique values from [SFR Rates All].Sorter (the first column) and all the data from the other 9 columns that are contain the row with the unique value in Sorter.
I know that I am missing something basic but well, I can't figure it out.
Thanks
Bob

I need to find the last purchase price for each product. Â If I run the following code, I correctly get 1 result for each productID and the last purchase order number.
SELECT pod.article as ProductID,max(pod.order_ID) as LastOrderfrom apodetail podgroup by pod.articleorder by pod.article
Now I need to add in the price for that product on that orderID. Â I've tried the following self join query, tried it without the join, and tried adding DISTINCT, but they all return more than 1 row per ProductID.
SELECT pod.article as ProductID,max(pod.order_ID) as LastOrder,pod2.rev_price as UnitPricefrom apodetail podjoinapodetail pod2on (pod2.order_ID = pod.order_id)group by pod.article,pod2.rev_priceorder by pod.article
How can I get it to simply add the price to the first query?

I developed the following T-SQL query that runs successfully, but I was looking for a more efficient and concise way to do this. Is there a CTE that can replace all of these case statements? I've updated my query as below. Although this sample query works, it's not working for my real data. Instead, I get an error. At the bottom is the error part of my real query.I copied all of the tables from the first query block below. But when I wrote the bottom query block, it underlined in red the words "answer" and "question." It says "Invalid column name".Â
if exists (select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#hard_values')
) DROP TABLE #hard_values;
if exists (select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#dummy_data')

if exists (select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#temp')

I am in a situation where I need to find out unique field names with different values in a table having 200+ columns.
Let's say I have two rows with 200+ columns ( I exported these rows from Lotus Notes to SQL Server) I am not sure what columns makes unique of these rows. It's going to be tedious by checking each column values.
Is there anyway I can write a squl query on these two rows which outputs column names which are having unique values.
I would appreciate If anybody gives me hint about achieving desired result

I'm trying to come up with a query for this data:
CREATE TABLE #Visits (OpportunityID int, ActivityID int, FirstVisit date, ScheduledEnd datetime, isFirstVisit bit, isRepeatVisit bit)
INSERT #Visits (OpportunityID, ActivityID, FirstVisit, ScheduledEnd)
SELECT 1, 1001, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 12:00:00.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 1002, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 17:04:13.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1003, '2014-08-18', '2014-08-18 20:39:56.000' UNION ALL
[Code] ....
Here are the expected results:
OpportunityIDActivityIDFirstVisitScheduledEndisFirstVisitisRepeatVisit
110012014-08-172014-08-17 12:00:00.00010
110022014-08-172014-08-17 17:04:13.00001

210042014-08-182014-08-18 18:00:00.00010
[Code] ....
Basically I'd like to mark the first Activity for each OpportunityID as a First Visit if its ScheduledEnd falls on the same day as the FirstVisit, and otherwise mark it as a Repeat Visit.
I have this so far, but it doesn't pick up on that the ScheduledEnd needs to be on the same day as the FirstVisit date to count as a first visit:
SELECT*,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS isFirstVisit,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS isRepeatVisit

currently I am facing a complex escenario related with gaps and sequences, but I was trying with diferent cases but I did not get the correct results, I am sure about the use of windows functions. Â I have a table with the information grouped by PublicationId, Provider, MetricId and Amount by Date, one row by each month, but in some cases these data don't have a sequencial values, for example I have the data for the next sequence:
I need to get the sequence by each month, in this case I need to project the month from February to May (with the last previous value, for this case of January) , this is:
The data for testing are:
DECLARE @PublicationsByUser AS TABLE

 Id  INT,
 PublicationId  INT,
 MetricId    INT,

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
I have set up a trigger that fires when an update has been performed on a specific table. The trigger checks to see if specific columns have been updated. If they have, then the trigger code is executed. This part works fine.
I am now trying to find a way to check if null values exist in either one of two field from the same table. If either field contains a null value, then I don't want the trigger code to be executed.
How can I check for null values and skip a block of code within my Transact Sql trigger.
