This SQL is beyond my expertise. I think it should be fairly easy for someone with experience. Here is what I have so far..
SQL is as follows:
UPDATE (Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates
INNER JOIN Tbl_Child_ITN ON Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates.ms_itn = Tbl_Child_ITN.ITN)
INNER JOIN Tbl_Schedule ON Tbl_Child_ITN.Id = Tbl_Schedule.ID SET Tbl_Schedule.a_construction_start = [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates].[ms_start_date]
WHERE (((Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates.ms_tempt_id) In (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23)));
I want to add one last condition to this being that I only want the minimum of [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates].[ms_start_date] to update the table. I've tried the obvious of wrapping the field in Min, and also tried creating a separate aggregate select statement first (to get the min value with other criteria) that I then tried to create the update query from in new query but no luck.
I believe this is valid Access/Jet SQL. The idea here is to use a subquery to look up the earliest date among all the rows in your subset. I'm not sure if ms_itn was the right column to correlate on but hopefully you get the idea:
UPDATE (Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates
INNER JOIN Tbl_Child_ITN ON Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates.ms_itn = Tbl_Child_ITN.ITN)
INNER JOIN Tbl_Schedule ON Tbl_Child_ITN.Id = Tbl_Schedule.ID
SET Tbl_Schedule.a_construction_start = [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates].[ms_start_date]
WHERE (((Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates.ms_tempt_id) In (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23)))
and [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates].[ms_start_date] = (
select min(sd.[ms_start_date])
from [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates] as sd
where sd.ms_itn = [Tbl_Stg_Project_Schedule_Dates].ms_itn
)

I am fairly new to SQL and having issues figuring out how to solve the simple issue below. I have a dataset I am trying to self-join, I am using (b.calendar_year_number -1) as one of the columns to join. I applied a calculation of -1 with the goal of trying to match values from the previous year. However, it is not working as the resulting column shows (No column name) with a screenshot attached below. How do I change the alias to b.calendar_year_number after the calculation?
Code:
SELECT a.day_within_fiscal_period,
a.calendar_month_name,
a.cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date,
a.calendar_year_number,
b.day_within_fiscal_period,
b.calendar_month_name,
b.cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date,
(b.calendar_year_number -1)
FROM [data_mart].[v_dim_date_consumer_complaints] AS a
JOIN [data_mart].[v_dim_date_consumer_complaints] AS b
ON b.day_within_fiscal_period = a.day_within_fiscal_period AND
b.calendar_month_name = a.calendar_month_name AND
b.calendar_year_number = a.calendar_year_number
I am using (b.calendar_year_number -1) as one of the columns to join.
Nope, you're not. Look at your join statement and you'll see the third condition is:
b.calendar_year_number = a.calendar_year_number
So just change that to include the calculation. As far as the 'no column name' issue, you can use colname = somelogic syntax or somelogic as colname. Below, I used the former syntax.
select a.day_within_fiscal_period,
a.calendar_month_name,
a.cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date,
a.calendar_year_number,
b.day_within_fiscal_period,
b.calendar_month_name,
b.cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date,
bCalYearNum = b.calendar_year_number
from [data_mart].[v_dim_date_consumer_complaints] a
left join [data_mart].[v_dim_date_consumer_complaints] b
on b.day_within_fiscal_period = a.day_within_fiscal_period
and b.calendar_month_name = a.calendar_month_name
and b.calendar_year_number - 1 = a.calendar_year_number;
You could use the analytical function LAG/LEAD to get your required result, no self-join necessary:
select a.day_within_fiscal_period,
a.calendar_month_name,
a.cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date,
a.calendar_year_number,
old_cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date =
LAG(cost_period_rolling_three_month_start_date) OVER
(PARTITION BY calendar_month_name, day_within_fiscal_period
ORDER BY calendar_year_number),
old_CalYearNum = LAG(calendar_year_number) OVER
(PARTITION BY calendar_month_name, day_within_fiscal_period
ORDER BY calendar_year_number)
from [data_mart].[v_dim_date_consumer_complaints] a
New to SQL and I am trying to run a query that pulls all our item codes, lot number, and qty on hand.
Each lot number has multiple entries due to adjustments. I need a way of running my query and having it add or subtract to get the actual qty on hand for each lot and only show me lots that are in the negatives. I have tried playing with SSRS but I cant get it right. I'm using SQL 2008R2.
SELECT
IMLAYER.ITEM_CODE
,IMMSTR.ITEM_DESC
,IMLAYER.LOT_NO
,IMLAYER.QTY_ON_HAND
FROM
IMLAYER
INNER JOIN
IMMSTR
ON
IMLAYER.ITEM_CODE = IMMSTR.ITEM_CODE
WHERE
(IMLAYER.QTY_ON_HAND < 0);
I believe I understand the requirements correctly, but if not please comment and I can update the query:
SELECT
M.ITEM_CODE
,M.ITEM_DESC
,L.LOT_NO
,'SUM_OF_QTY_ON_HAND' = SUM(L.QTY_ON_HAND)
FROM
IMLAYER L
INNER JOIN
IMMSTR M
ON L.ITEM_CODE = M.ITEM_CODE
GROUP BY
M.ITEM_CODE
,M.ITEM_DESC
,L.LOT_NO
HAVING
SUM(L.QTY_ON_HAND) < 0
HAVING is the trick you are looking for to be able to use an aggregate function for filtering.
I need to add a condition that only selects the rows where a field (my_galleries.format) equals a string value of 'pictures'. I am trying to add it to this working sql statement.
SELECT
gallery_url,
preview_url
FROM
my_galleries,
my_gallery_previews
WHERE
my_galleries.gallery_id = my_gallery_previews.gallery_id
I tried this, with no luck....
SELECT
gallery_url,
preview_url
FROM
my_galleries,
my_gallery_previews
WHERE
my_galleries.gallery_id = my_gallery_previews.gallery_id
AND my_galleries.format='pictures'
Any ideas?
I recommend not using the FROM foo, bar WHERE foo.key = bar.key approach to performing a JOIN as it isn't very flexible and isn't obvious to new readers of your code. Instead you should perform an explicit JOIN instead:
SELECT
gallery_url,
preview_url
FROM
my_gallery_previews
INNER JOIN my_galleries ON my_gallery_previews.gallery_id = my_galleries.gallery_id
WHERE
my_galleries.format = 'pictures'
How about you try this
SELECT gallery_url, preview_url FROM my_galleries
JOIN my_gallery_previews ON
my_galleries.gallery_id = my_gallery_previews.gallery_id
WHERE my_galleries.format='pictures'
With the join, make sure to prefix your selected columns with their respective tables. I hope this helps
As others have stated I recommend you use the new structure of joining as it is more readable.
SELECT mg.gallery_url,
mgp.preview_url
FROM my_galleries mg
JOIN my_gallery_previews mgp ON mg.gallery_id = mgp.gallery_id
AND mg.format = 'pictures'
You can place the filter condition in the join using an AND statement. (Just another way to do it)
Your query appears to be correct syntax. I would recommend going through your data set or editing it into your question. It is possible that no picture gallery previews currently share a gallery id with an existing gallery row which is stopping the join from functioning.
My title is probably not very clear, so I made a little schema to explain what I'm trying to achieve. The xxxx_uid labels are foreign keys linking two tables.
Goal: Retrieve a column from the grids table by giving a proj_uid value.
I'm not very good with SQL joins and I don't know how to build a single query that will achieve that.
Actually, I'm doing 3 queries to perform the operation:
1) This gives me a res_uid to work with:
select res_uid from results where results.proj_uid = VALUE order by res_uid asc limit 1"
2) This gives me a rec_uid to work with:
select rec_uid from receptor_results
inner join results on results.res_uid = receptor_results.res_uid
where receptor_results.res_uid = res_uid_VALUE order by rec_uid asc limit 1
3) Get the grid column I want from the grids table:
select grid_name from grids
inner join receptors on receptors.grid_uid = grids.grid_uid
where receptors.rec_uid = rec_uid_VALUE;
Is it possible to perform a single SQL that will give me the same results the 3 I'm actually doing ?
You're not limited to one JOIN in a query:
select grids.grid_name
from grids
inner join receptors
on receptors.grid_uid = grids.grid_uid
inner join receptor_results
on receptor_results.rec_uid = receptors.rec_uid
inner join results
on results.res_uid = receptor_results.res_uid
where results.proj_uid = VALUE;
select g.grid_name
from results r
join resceptor_results rr on r.res_uid = rr.res_uid
join receptors rec on rec.rec_uid = rr.rec_uid
join grids g on g.grid_uid = rec.grid_uid
where r.proj_uid = VALUE
a small note about names, typically in sql the table is named for a single item not the group. thus "result" not "results" and "receptor" not "receptors" etc. As you work with sql this will make sense and names like you have will seem strange. Also, one less character to type!
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.
