dollar sign, comma, decimal places - sql

I have this code to get total and other fields. what I am interested in
to get total values with $ sign, comma and 02 decimal places, what will be
the best function to use to cover all these.
so the total should reflect like : $ 1,780.00
please advise
select distinct
c.givenname, c.familyname, s.total, p.title,
a.givenname+' '+a.familyname as artist
from
customers as c
join sales as s on c.id=s.customerid
join saleitems as si on s.id=si.saleid
join paintings as p on si.paintingid=p.id
join artists as a on p.artistid=a.id;
result I am getting is like this:
Aloysius Peace 1780.0000 Woman in Black (Femme en noir)Mary Cassatt
Amanda Lynn 1115.0000 Le Moulin de la Galette Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Amanda Lynn 1115.0000 Madamoiselle RiviereJean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Amanda Lynn 1115.0000 Pollard Willows With SETting SunVincent Van Gogh
Amelia Rate 2125.0000 Flowers in a Vase with Shells and InseBalthasar Van
Amelia Rate 2125.0000 The Meeting of St Anthony Abbot and St Paul in the
Amelia Rate 2125.0000 The Two Girlfriends Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Amelia Rate 2125.0000 Vision After the Sermon, Jacob Wrestling


Use this something like this in your code. (for MS SQL)
select '$' + cast(cast (s.total as decimal (9,2)) as varchar(20)) as price

How to write a SQL query for showing route information from a flight database?

I have a set of flight data and I am trying to write a query (ex: recursive query using CTE) to show the No. of flights per routes, destination city, departure city, airline info, total time of delay per routes.
Currently I don't know a way to group total number of flights per route for each airline. I also have trouble grouping totaltimedelay for each airline's routes.
Sample flight data info - Four columns total (All the data below are from the fact table in OLAP database)
AirlineName DepartureCity DestinationCity TimeDelay(min) FlightID
CA NY CA 9 389
OA NJ TX 8 321
AA SEA NY 10 231
UA NY CA 20 098
HA NJ TX 15 321
OA NJ TX 20 123
< Expected output: 5 columns >
AirlineName DeparCity DestiCity TotalNumberofFlights TotaltimeDelay
Thanks a lot I hope I made it clear enough. Any sort of help or direction would be appreciated.

A simple GROUP BY should be enough...
SELECT
AirlineName,
DepartureCity AS DeparCity,
DestinationCity AS DestiCity,
COUNT(*) AS TotalNumberofFlights,
SUM(TimeDelay) AS TotaltimeDelay
FROM Flight
GROUP BY
AirlineName,
DepartureCity,
DestinationCity

an SQL query from a 3 tables, can't get the results required

-- List all titles that have been sold along with the artist, order date and ship date
SELECT title, artist, order_date, ship_date

This looks like a generic homework question.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with this page and site http://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/join.
Solution:
Change your statement to:
SELECT
items.title, items.artist, orders.order_date, orders.ship_date
FROM
items
JOIN
orderline ON orderline.item_id = items.item_id
JOIN
orders ON orders.order_id = orderline.order_id

I want to be able to only show one of the lowest options. For example 'Andy Aardverk' has purchased 'Avarice is Good' and could have bought it from 'CARP' or 'YRB Bronze' for a lower price. I only want one to show so it could be 'CARP' or 'YRB Bronze' but not both.
I tried to use 'group by' on 'name, title, year, qnty, club, price' but was given this error:
'SQL0119N An expression starting with "LOWEST_CLUB" specified in a SELECT
clause, HAVING clause, or ORDER BY clause is not specified in the GROUP BY
clause or it is in a SELECT clause, HAVING clause, or ORDER BY clause with a
column function and no GROUP BY clause is specified. SQLSTATE=42803'

It would have been easier with your actual query, but I'll give it a go anyways.
You can solve this problem by using a CTE like this:
;WITH CTE AS (
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [NAME], [TITLE] ORDER BY LOWEST_CLUB ASC, some_fallback_if_two_prices_are_the_same ASC) AS RowNumber,
[NAME],
[TITLE],
col1,
col2,
lowest_price,
some_fallback_if_two_prices_are_the_same
FROM [Table]
)
SELECT * --or rewrite your columns if you want to avoid the RowNumber
FROM CTE
WHERE RowNumber = 1;
That SELECT inside the CTE should be your current query + the ROW_NUMBER() line.
Seeing as I don't have the query, I can't give you a final result. You'll have to fiddle with it until it works for you.

Trying to combine multiple rows of result set into single row

select C.customerId,(C.lastName+', '+C.firstName) as CustomerName, C.companyName,
D.companyName+' ('+D.lastName+','+D.firstName+')'
as "Parent CompanyName(Last, First)",S.siteId, S.nickName as siteName,
dbo.GetSiteTelemetryBoxList(s.siteId) as "DeviceId's",
dbo.GetSiteTelemetryBoxSKUList(S.siteId,0) as SKU
from Site S
INNER JOIN Customer C ON S.customerId = C.customerId
INNER JOIN Customer D ON D.customerId = C.parentCustomerId
where S.createDate between DATEADD(DAY, -65, GETUTCDATE()) and GETUTCDATE()
order by C.customerId, S.siteId
The above query returns values that look like this:
CID CustomerName companyName Parent CompanyName(Last, First) SiteName DeviceId SKU
888296 DeYoung, Scott DeYoung Farms Mercier Valley Irrigation (Mercier,Ralph) H E east 200241 NETB12WR
890980 Rust, Marcus NULL Chester Inc. (Young,Scott) Byroad east 346370 NETB12WR
890980 Rust, Marcus NULL Chester Inc. (Young,Scott) Byroad west 345431 NETB12WR
891094 Pirani, Mark A Pirani Farm AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) hwy 64 south 333721 UNKNOWN
891094 Pirani, Mark A Pirani Farm AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) HWY 64 North 250162 NETB12WR
891094 Pirani, Mark A Pirani Farm AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) HWY 64 West 250164 NETB12WR
891094 Pirani, Mark A Pirani Farm AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) HWY 64 East 250157 NETB12WR
891430 Gammil, Bob Gammil FArms AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) angel 333677 UNKNOWN
891430 Gammil, Bob Gammil FArms AMX Irrigation (Burroughs,Michael) cemetery 333564 UNKNOWN
The problem I face now is that if a customerId/Name is repeating in the result set. The SiteName, deviceId, SKU should be concatenated to represent the data as one value.
For example, Mark Pirani row would look like
CID CustomerName ... SiteName DeviceId's ...
891904 Pirani, Mark ... hwy 64 south, HWY 64 North, HWY 64 West, HWY 64 East 333721,250162,250164,250157 ...

You can convert the rows with something like this to transform the rows into a concatenated string:
select
distinct
stuff((
select ',' + u.username
from users u
where u.username = username
order by u.username
for xml path('')
),1,1,'') as userlist
from users
group by username

I believe this is more of a SQL query issue than a C# code issue, or more appropriately I believe it more efficient to solve this problem at the query level rather than the code level. Off the top of my head you can use SELECT DISTINCT or GROUP BY clauses.
Here is another StackOverflow question addressing this issue - How do I (or can I) SELECT DISTINCT on multiple columns?

I did some digging and found a few ways to implement it. Basically, the simple solution for this is using mysql's group_concat function. These links discuss how the group_concat can be implemented for SQL server. You can choose one based on your requirements.
Simulating group_concat MySQL function in Microsoft SQL Server 2005? -- This thread discusses a few ways to implement it.
Flatten association table to multi-value column? -- This thread discusses the CLR implemenation of it.
http://groupconcat.codeplex.com/ -- This was just perfect for me. Exactly what I was looking for. The project basically creates four aggregate functions that collectively offer similar functionality to the MySQL GROUP_CONCAT function.

Pulling results as rows, easy conversion/translation to columns?

I've been handed a task where I've been asked to make use of an SSIS 2008 package to create a CSV then FTP that CSV, following this tutorial here.
My query isn't quite ready.
I'm pulling results where the columns we're going after are coming out as rows. Been reading around on how to to do this with a cursor + stored procedure, but was wondering if anyone has conquered this obstacle with a simpler solution?

Sounds like you want to PIVOT the data
SELECT
ItemId,
UnderGradYear,
Position1,
FellowshipCity1,
FellowshipYear1
-- add 'columns'
FROM
data -- this 'table' is the result of current query
PIVOT
(
MAX(value)
FOR field IN ([UnderGradYear], [Position1],
[FellowshipCity1], [FellowshipYear1]) -- add 'columns'
) PivotTable
demo
you can then use SSIS to create a CSV of result of above and FTP that file.
Edit: Alternatively you could also use the pivot transformation in SSIS rather than in T-SQL
