I'm facing a problem successfully completing (running) a query on a singular table in Access 2013 using SQL to complete a Datediff on consecutive/Sequential rows of timestamps, which track status changes in tickets going through our ticketing system.
The table titled: dbo_Master3_FieldHistory, has a field which tracks timestamps each time a ticket's status changes. Unfortunately, it only includes 1 timestamp per change, meaning it doesn't inherently have a secondary timestamp for when the status is changed again, which I need to run a DateDiff to calculate AGE for tickets, based on Status.
I found a plausible solution for this on StackOverflow, linked below. When i tried to implement this solution, as is with minor adjustments, and including adjustments for filtering out old data and particular fields, it just freezes my Access program and never times out (have to force close Access)
Date Difference between consecutive rows
'This is the basic code, traslated from the linked StackOverflow solution to fit this tables fields (I believed)
SELECT T.mrID, T.mrSEQUENCE, T.mrUSERID, T.mrFIELDNAME, T.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T.mrTIMESTAMP, T.mrNextTIMESTAMP, DateDiff("s",T.mrTIMESTAMP, T.mrNextTIMESTAMP) AS STATUSTIME
FROM (
SELECT T1.mrID, T1.mrSEQUENCE, T1.mrUSERID, T1.mrFIELDNAME, T1.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T1.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T1.mrTIMESTAMP,
(SELECT MIN(mrTIMESTAMP)
FROM dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T2
WHERE T2.mrID = T1.mrID
AND T2.mrTIMESTAMP > T1.mrTIMESTAMP
) As mrNextTIMESTAMP
FROM dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T1
) AS T
'This is the code that I wanted to use to account for filtering out two particular fields, limiting the data to tickets (mrID) newer than 1/1/2018 and only those where the mrFIELDNAME is mrSTATUS
SELECT T.mrID, T.mrSEQUENCE, T.mrUSERID, T.mrFIELDNAME, T.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T.mrTIMESTAMP, T.mrNextTIMESTAMP, DateDiff("s",T.mrTIMESTAMP, T.mrNextTIMESTAMP) AS STATUSTIME
FROM (
SELECT T1.mrID, T1.mrSEQUENCE, T1.mrUSERID, T1.mrFIELDNAME, T1.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T1.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T1.mrTIMESTAMP,
(SELECT MIN(mrTIMESTAMP)
FROM dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T2
WHERE mrFIELDNAME = "mrSTATUS"
AND T2.mrID = T1.mrID
AND T2.mrTIMESTAMP > T1.mrTIMESTAMP
) As T1.mrNextTIMESTAMP
FROM dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T1
WHERE mrFIELDNAME = "mrSTATUS"
AND mrTIMESTAMP >= #1/1/2018#
) AS T;
Access freezes when I try to run these queries. I've tried several ways but can't get it to work
I was able to figure it out, thank you to those who took your time to read through this interesting challenge. Instead of using the second code set in the link provided, I utilized the first and it worked beautifully. With some additions to the code to account for other filters/criteria, I have the results I need.
SELECT T1.mrID, T1.mrSEQUENCE, T1.mrUSERID, T1.mrFIELDNAME, T1.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T1.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T1.mrTIMESTAMP, MIN(T2.mrTIMESTAMP) AS mrNextTIMESTAMP, DATEDIFF("s", T1.mrTIMESTAMP, MIN(T2.mrTIMESTAMP)) AS TimeInStatus
FROM ((dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T1 LEFT JOIN dbo_MASTER3_FIELDHISTORY AS T2 ON (T2.mrTIMESTAMP > T1.mrTIMESTAMP) AND (T1.mrID = T2.mrID)) INNER JOIN dbo_MASTER3 AS T4 ON (T4.mrID = T1.mrID))
WHERE T4.mrSUBMITDATE >= #1/1/2018#
AND t1.mrFIELDNAME = "mrSTATUS"
AND NOT T4.mrSTATUS="_Deleted_"
AND NOT T4.mrSTATUS="_SOLVED_"
AND NOT T4.mrSTATUS="_PENDING_SOLUTION_"
GROUP BY T1.mrID, T1.mrSEQUENCE, T1.mrUSERID, T1.mrFIELDNAME, T1.mrNEWFIELDVALUE, T1.mrOLDFIELDVALUE, T1.mrTIMESTAMP
ORDER BY T1.mrID, T1.mrTIMESTAMP;

Apologies in advance for what will probably be a very stupid question but I've been using Google to teach myself SQL after making the move from years of using Crystal Reports.
We have Works Orders which can have numerous transactions against them. I want to find the most recent one and have it returned against the Works Order number (which is a unique ID)? I attempted to use MAX but that just returns whatever the Transaction Date for that record is.
I think my struggles may be caused by a lack of understanding of grouping in SQL. In Crystal it was just 'choose what to group by' but for some reason in SQL I seem to be forced to group by all selected fields.
My ultimate goal is to be able to compare the planned end date of the Works Order ("we need to finish this job by then") vs when the last transaction was booked against the Works Order, so that I can create an OTIF KPI.
I've attached an image of what I'm currently seeing in SQL Server 2014 Management Studio and below is my attempt at the query.
SELECT wip.WO.WO_No
, wip.WO.WO_Type
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Part_No
, stock.Stock_Trans_Types.Description
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Qty_Change
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Trans_Date
, wip.WO.End_Date
, wip.WO.Qty - wip.WO.Qty_Stored AS 'Qty remaining'
, MAX(stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Trans_Date) AS 'Last Production Receipt'
FROM stock.Stock_Trans_Log
INNER JOIN production.Part
ON stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Part_No = production.Part.Part_No
INNER JOIN wip.WO
ON stock.Stock_Trans_Log.WO_No = wip.WO.WO_No
INNER JOIN stock.Stock_Trans_Types
ON stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Tran_Type = stock.Stock_Trans_Types.Type
WHERE (stock.Stock_Trans_Types.Type = 10)
AND (stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Store_Code <> 'BI')
GROUP BY wip.WO.WO_No
, wip.WO.WO_Type
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Part_No
, stock.Stock_Trans_Types.Description
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Qty_Change
, stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Trans_Date
, wip.WO.End_Date
, wip.WO.Qty - wip.WO.Qty_Stored
HAVING (stock.Stock_Trans_Log.Part_No BETWEEN N'2Z' AND N'9A')
Query + results
If my paraphrase is correct, you could use something along the following lines...
WITH
sequenced_filtered_stock_trans_log AS
(
SELECT
*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY WO_No
ORDER BY Trans_Date DESC) AS reversed_sequence_id
FROM
stock.Stock_Trans_Log
WHERE
Type = 10
AND Store_Code <> 'BI'
AND Part_No BETWEEN N'2Z' AND N'9A'
)
SELECT
<stuff>
FROM
sequenced_filtered_stock_trans_log AS stock_trans_log
INNER JOIN
<your joins>
WHERE
stock_trans_log.reversed_sequence_id = 1
First, this will apply the WHERE clause to filter the log table.
After the WHERE clause is applied, a sequence id is calculated. Restarting from one for each partition (each WO_No), and starting from the highest Trans_Date.
Finally, that can be used in your outer query with a WHERE clause that specifies that you only want the records with sequence id one, this it the most recent row per WO_No. The rest of the joins on to that table would proceed as normal.
If there is any other filtering that should be done (through joins or any other means) that should all be done before the application of the ROW_NUMBER().
I posted a few weeks back with an issue, now I've gotten past it and found a new need and new issue. I'm using access 2010, unsure what version database, have on;y access grunt tools to use (no objects, for instance). I have a query that works, it looks like this. The goal of this query is to use one row as a baseline and find all related rows that come after it chronologically. For all I know, this may be a very crude solution.
SELECT QueueA.cnlyMemberId, QueueA.updateUser AS 305UpdateUser, QueueA.updateDt AS 305UpdateDt, QueueB.statusCd
FROM (SELECT cnlyMemberID, updateUser, updateDt
FROM V_Queue_History
WHERE statusCd = "305" AND
V_Queue_History.updateDt Between [Enter Start Date:] And [Enter End Date: (must be at least one day apart)]
) AS QueueA INNER JOIN
V_Queue_History AS QueueB
ON (QueueA.cnlyMemberID = QueueB.cnlyMemberID AND
QueueA.updateDt < QueueB.updateDt
)
Now what I want to do is I want to find the first 305 statusCd and the next statusCd chronologically, rather than every statusCd that follows. I've tried a few things now, mostly trying to take the TOP 2 with an ORDER BY updateDt slipped in the ON condition. Then I tried replacing the V_Queue_History with a table and doing the same, didn't work. I just tried using a where condition where I check to see if the
QueueB.cnlyMemberId is IN (SELECT TOP 2 cnlylMemberID FROM QueueB WHERE conditions);
but still nothing. The system would tell me it didn't know what QueueB was anymore, so none of it would run in the WHERE statement. I would be more specific on but I just made Access crash and my mind is starting to get hazy from how frustrating this can be. I don't have much experience with Access/SQL at all and I'm learning it pretty much as I go.
So to recap, the first query runs fine but I need to return only the row with the status updated first after the initial 305.
Thanks!
I'm not sure what you want without a sample output, maybe something like this would help:
SELECT QueueA.cnlyMemberId, QueueA.updateUser AS 305UpdateUser, QueueA.updateDt AS 305UpdateDt, QueueB.statusCd
FROM (SELECT cnlyMemberID, updateUser, updateDt
FROM V_Queue_History
WHERE statusCd = "305" AND
V_Queue_History.updateDt Between [Enter Start Date:] And [Enter End Date: (must be at least one day apart)]
) AS QueueA INNER JOIN
V_Queue_History AS QueueB
ON QueueA.cnlyMemberID = QueueB.cnlyMemberID
WHERE (QueueB.updateDt =
(SELECT Min(updateDt) FROM V_Queue_History V2
WHERE V2.cnlyMemberID = QueueA.cnlyMemberID
AND V2.updateDt > QueueA.updateDt))
This assumes there is always a status code after the 305, and also that no two records have the same update date.
If you need to get the top N status codes after the 305 then you could change the WHERE clause as following, although I don't know if the performance will be good enough for your situation:
WHERE QueueB.updateDt IN
(SELECT TOP 5 updateDt FROM V_Queue_History V2
WHERE V2.cnlyMemberID = QueueA.cnlyMemberID
AND V2.updateDt > QueueA.updateDt
ORDER BY V2.updateDt)
I am writing a sql query to get data from different tables but it is getting data from different tables very slowly.
Approximately above 2 minutes to complete.
What i am doing is here :
1. I am getting data differences and on behalf of date difference i am getting account numbers
2. I am comparing tables to get exact data i need.
here is my query
select T.accountno,
MAX(T.datetxn) as MxDt,
datediff(MM,MAX(T.datetxn), '2011-6-30') as Diffs,
max(P.Name) as POName
from Account_skd A,
AccountTxn_skd T,
POName P
where A.AccountNo = T.AccountNo and
GPOCode = A.OfficeCode and
Code = A.POCode and
A.servicecode = T.ServiceCode
group by T.AccountNo
order by len(T.AccountNo) DESC
please help that how i can use joins or any other way to get data within very less time say 5-10 seconds.
Since it appears you are getting EVERY ACCOUNT, and performance is slow, I would try by creating a prequery by just account, then do a single join to the other join tables something like..
select
T.Accountno,
T.MxDt,
datediff(MM, T.MxDt, '2011-6-30') as Diffs,
P.Name as POName
from
( select T1.AccountNo,
Max( T1.DateTxn ) MxDt
from AccontTxn_skd T1
group by T1.AccountNo ) T
JOIN Account_skd A
on T.AccountNo = A.AccountNo
JOIN POName P
on A.POCode = P.Code <-- GUESSING as you didn't qualify alias.field
AND A.OfficeCode = P.GPOCode <-- in your query for these two fields
order by
len(T.AccountNo) DESC
You had other elements based on the T.ServiceCode matching, but since you are only grouping on the account number anyhow, did it matter which service code was used? Otherwise, you would need to group by both the account AND service code (which I would have added the service code into the prequery and added as join condition to the account table too).
Hope somebody can help me with this. I'm trying to pull a list of forthcoming titles (I work in publishing) via ODBC/ms query. I want (amongst other things) to show their internal status (approved, prepress etc.). The database stores the change dates for the status'. I seem to be getting one line per status per title. So if the title has changed status 6 times, I will get 6 lines. But I only want to show the latest status...
The date is in BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS.STATUS_DATE (I've inserted a date criteria beneath, just to make it more visible).
How can this be done? I'm very new to ODBC and would appreciate it a lot.
SELECT DISTINCT
BL_PROJECT.EXP_PUB_DATE, BL_PROJECT.EAN, BL_PROJECT.TITEL,
MEDIATYPE.DESCRIPTION, BL_PROJECT_STATUS.DESCRIPTION
FROM
FIRMA1.BL_PROJECT BL_PROJECT, FIRMA1.BL_PROJECT_STATUS BL_PROJECT_STATUS,
FIRMA1.BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS, FIRMA1.MEDIATYPE MEDIATYPE
WHERE
BL_PROJECT.PROJECT_ID = BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS.PROJECT_ID AND
BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS.STATUS_ID = BL_PROJECT_STATUS.CODE AND
BL_PROJECT.MEDIATYPE = MEDIATYPE.ID AND
((BL_PROJECT.PROJECT_TYPE = 2) AND
(BL_PROJECT.EXP_PUB_DATE Between SYSDATE AND (SYSDATE+90)) AND
(BL_PROJECT_TO_STATUS.STATUS_DATE = {ts '2013-11-20 00:00:00'}))
ORDER BY
BL_PROJECT.EXP_PUB_DATE, BL_PROJECT.EAN, BL_PROJECT.TITEL
Here is the general idea. You can adapt it with your table and field names.
select somefields
from sometables
join
(select something, max(datetimefield) maxdt
from table1
where whatever
group by something ) temp on table1.datetimefield = maxdt
etc
We have a database that stores vehicle's gps position, date, time, vehicle identification, lat, long, speed, etc., every minute.
The following select pulls each vehicle position and info, but the problem is that returns the first record, and I need the last record (current position), based on date (datagps.Fecha) and time (datagps.Hora). This is the select:
SELECT configgps.Fichagps,
datacar.Ficha,
groups.Nombre,
datagps.Hora,
datagps.Fecha,
datagps.Velocidad,
datagps.Status,
datagps.Calleune,
datagps.Calletowo,
datagps.Temp,
datagps.Longitud,
datagps.Latitud,
datagps.Evento,
datagps.Direccion,
datagps.Provincia
FROM asigvehiculos
INNER JOIN datacar ON (asigvehiculos.Iddatacar = datacar.Id)
INNER JOIN configgps ON (datacar.Configgps = configgps.Id)
INNER JOIN clientdata ON (asigvehiculos.Idgroup = clientdata.group)
INNER JOIN groups ON (clientdata.group = groups.Id)
INNER JOIN datagps ON (configgps.Fichagps = datagps.Fichagps)
Group by Fichagps;
I need same result I'm getting, but instead of the older record I need the most recent
(LAST datagps.Fecha / datagps.Hora).
How can I accomplish this?
Add ORDER BY datagps.Fecha DESC, datagps.Hora DESC LIMIT 1 to your query.
I'm not sure why you are having any problems with this as Lex's answers seem good.
I would start putting ORDER BY's in your query so it puts them in an order, when it's showing the record you want as the first one in the list, then add the LIMIT.
If you want the most recent, then the following should be good enough:
ORDER BY datagps.Fecha DESC, datagps.Hora DESC
If you simply want the record that was added to the database most recently (irregardless of the date/time fields), then you could (assuming you have an auto-incremental primary key in the datagps table (I assume it's called dataID for this example)):
ORDER BY datagps.dataID DESC
If these aren't showing the data you want - then there is something missing from your example (maybe data-types aren't DATETIME fields? - if not - then maybe a CONVERT to change them from their current type before ORDERing BY would be a good idea)
EDIT:
I've seen the screenshot and I'm confused as to what the issue is still. That appears to be showing everything in order. Are you implying that there are many more than 5 records? How many are you expecting?
Do you mean: for each record returned, you want the one row from the table datagps with the latest date and time attached to the result? If so, how about this:
# To show how the query will be executed
# comment to return actual results
EXPLAIN
SELECT
configgps.Fichagps, datacar.Ficha, groups.Nombre, datagps.Hora, datagps.Fecha,
datagps.Velocidad, datagps.Status, datagps.Calleune, datagps.Calletowo,
datagps.Temp, datagps.Longitud, datagps.Latitud, datagps.Evento,
datagps.Direccion, datagps.Provincia
FROM asigvehiculos
INNER JOIN datacar ON (asigvehiculos.Iddatacar = datacar.Id)
INNER JOIN configgps ON (datacar.Configgps = configgps.Id)
INNER JOIN clientdata ON (asigvehiculos.Idgroup = clientdata.group)
INNER JOIN groups ON (clientdata.group = groups.Id)
INNER JOIN datagps ON (configgps.Fichagps = datagps.Fichagps)
########### Add this section
LEFT JOIN datagps b ON (
configgps.Fichagps = b.Fichagps
# wrong condition
#AND datagps.Hora < b.Hora
#AND datagps.Fecha < b.Fecha)
# might prevent indexes to be used
AND (datagps.Fecha < b.Fecha OR (datagps.Fecha = b.Fecha AND datagps.Hora < b.Hora))
WHERE b.Fichagps IS NULL
###########
Group by configgps.Fichagps;
Similar question here only that that one uses outer joins.
Edit (again):
The conditions are wrong so corrected it. Can you show us the output of the above EXPLAIN query so we can pinpoint where the bottle neck is?
As hurikhan77 said, it will be better if you could convert both of the the columns into a single datetime field - though I'm guessing this would not be possible for your case (since your database is already being used?)
Though if you can convert it, the condition (on the join) would become:
AND datagps.FechaHora < b.FechaHora
After that, add an index for datagps.FechaHora and the query would be fast(er).
What you probably want is getting the maximum of (Fecha,Hora) per grouped dataset? This is a little complicated to accomplish with your column types. You should combine Fecha and Hora into one column of type DATETIME. Then it's easy to just SELECT MAX(FechaHora) ... GROUP BY Fichagps.
It could have helped if you posted your table structure to understand the problem.
