I have a joining table that logs the changes in a File's state (Active/Deleted/Archived etc).
e.g.
+----+---------+------------+-------+
| PK | File_FK | Date | State |
+----+---------+------------+-------+
| 1 | 100 | 11-9-2015 | 1 |
| 2 | 200 | 14-09-2015 | 2 |
| 3 | 300 | 14-07-2015 | 0 |
| 4 | 300 | 12-9-2015 | 2 |
| 5 | 200 | 14-09-2015 | 2 |
| 6 | 300 | 14-09-2015 | 0 |
| 7 | 300 | 13-09-2015 | 1 |
+----+---------+------------+-------+
There are a number of records which are were not inserted accordingly, on a certain date e.g. July 15.
Is there a way how to automate the updating of certain records?
I want to change the state to the last option it was (latest date), if the state is 0 and if there are no previous 0 as states (for the same file foreign key) without amending previous states which had a zero.
To try and simplify (taking File_FK = 300 as example):
I want:
The state of the file to update to be 1.
State '0' is invalid since it was made on 14-09-2015 (the last one)
Prevent updating the '0' that was made on 14-07-2015.
Basically I want to change the state of a file to the state it was before it was '0' without changing the 0s that where done earlier.

I am working on a PowerBI report that is grabbing information from SQL and I cannot find a way to solve my problem using PowerBI or how to write the required code. My first table, Certifications, includes a list of certifications and required trainings that must be obtained in order to have an active certification.
My second table, UserCertifications, includes a list of UserIDs, certifications, and the trainings associated with a certification.
How can I write a SQL code or PowerBI measure to tell if a user has all required trainings for a certification? ie, if UserID 1 has the A certification, how can I verify that they have the TrainingIDs of 1, 10, and 150 associated with it?
Certifications:
CertificationsTable
UserCertifications:
UserCertificationsTable
This is a DAX pattern to test if contains at least some values.
| Certifications |
|----------------|------------|
| Certification | TrainingID |
|----------------|------------|
| A | 1 |
| A | 10 |
| A | 150 |
| B | 7 |
| B | 9 |
| UserCertifications |
|--------------------|---------------|----------|
| UserID | Certification | Training |
|--------------------|---------------|----------|
| 1 | A | 1 |
| 1 | A | 10 |
| 1 | A | 300 |
| 2 | A | 150 |
| 2 | B | 9 |
| 2 | B | 90 |
| 3 | A | 7 |
| 4 | A | 1 |
| 4 | A | 10 |
| 4 | A | 150 |
| 4 | A | 1000 |
In the above scenario, DAX needs to find out if the mandatory trainings (Certifications[TrainingID]) by Certifications[Certification] is completed by
UserCertifications[UserID ]&&UserCertifications[Certifications] partition.
In the above scenario, DAX should only return true for UserCertifications[UserID ]=4 as it is the only User that completed at least all the mandatory trainings.
The way to achieve this is through the following measure
areAllMandatoryTrainingCompleted =
VAR _alreadyCompleted =
CONCATENATEX (
UserCertifications,
UserCertifications[Training],
"-",
UserCertifications[Training]
) // what is completed in the fact Table; the fourth argument is very important as it decides the sort order
VAR _0 =
MAX ( UserCertifications[Certification] )
VAR _supposedToComplete =
CONCATENATEX (
FILTER ( Certifications, Certifications[Certification] = _0 ),
Certifications[TrainingID],
"-",
Certifications[TrainingID]
) // what is comeleted in the training Table; the fourth argument is very important as it decides the sort order
VAR _isMandatoryTrainingCompleted =
CONTAINSSTRING ( _alreadyCompleted, _supposedToComplete ) // CONTAINSSTRING (<Within Text>,<Search Text>); return true false
RETURN
_isMandatoryTrainingCompleted
I am working with a database that includes a history table showing when projects have moved to the next state of development. Here is some example data.
dbo.history_table
| ProjectID | State | Timestamp |
| 1 | 1 | 2018-03-22 10:38:27.000 |
| 1 | 2 | 2018-03-23 10:22:56.000 |
| 1 | 3 | 2018-03-24 12:18:32.000 |
| 2 | 1 | 2018-03-24 11:01:17.000 |
| 1 | 4 | 2018-03-25 10:32:41.000 |
| 2 | 4 | 2018-03-26 12:39:03.000 |
There are a number of states that look something like this:
| State # | Description | Notes
| State 1 | Planning |
| State 2 | Pre-Production |
| State 3 | Production |
| State 4 | Post-Production |
| State 5 | Successful | Terminal state
| State 6 | Unsuccessful | Terminal state
| State 7 | Cancelled | Terminal state
These states are roughly sequential, but not quite, and not always. For instance, each project can only end in one of the three terminal states. Furthermore, although all projects begin in State 1, not all projects hit all states before terminating.
I need to write a query that looks at a particular state and shows the next state those records move to. The data I need from this query would look something like this:
Report: State 2 Pipeline
| Total: | 100 |
| Moved to State 3: | 50 |
| Moved to State 4: | 0 |
| Moved to State 5: | 25 |
| Moved to State 6: | 0 |
| Moved to State 7: | 25 |
This applies the LEAD logic to find the next row's state and utilizes GROUPING SETS to add the grand total:
with cte as
(
select
State,
lead(State)
over (partition by ProjectID
order by Timestamp) as nextState
from myTable
)
select
case when grouping(nextState) = 1 then 'Total' else nextState end,
count(*)
from cte
where State = 2
group by grouping sets ((nextState), ())
order by grouping(nextState) desc, nextState
But it will not return a row for states that don't exist as next state. You need to Left join this select to the table describing the existing states.
I have an influxdb table lets call it my_table
my_table is structured like this (simplified):
+-----+-----+-----
| Time| m1 | m2 |
+=====+=====+=====
| 1 | 8 | 4 |
+-----+-----+-----
| 2 | 1 | 12 |
+-----+-----+-----
| 3 | 6 | 18 |
+-----+-----+-----
| 4 | 4 | 1 |
+-----+-----+-----
However I was wondering if it is possible to find out how many of the metrics are larger than a certain (dynamic) threshold for each time.
So lets say I want to know how many of the metrics (columns) are higher than 5,
I would want to do something like this:
select fieldcount(/m*/) from my_table where /m*/ > 5
Returning:
1
1
2
0
I am relatively restricted in structuring the database as I'm using diamond collector (python) which takes care of all datacollection for me and flushes it to my influxdb without me telling what the tables should look like.
EDIT
I am aware of a possible solution if I hardcode the threshold and add a third metric named mGreaterThan5:
+-----+-----+------------------+
| Time| m1 | m2 |mGreaterThan5|
+=====+=====+====+=============+
| 1 | 8 | 4 | 1 |
+-----+-----+----+-------------+
| 2 | 1 | 12 | 1 |
+-----+-----+----+-------------+
| 3 | 6 | 18 | 2 |
+-----+-----+----+-------------+
| 4 | 4 | 1 | 0 |
+-----+-----+----+-------------+
However this means that I cant easily change this threshold to 6 or any other number so thats why I would prefer a better solution if there is one.
EDIT2
Another similar problem occurs with trying to retrieve the highest x amount of metrics. Eg:
On Jan 1st what were the highest 3 values of m? Given table:
+-----+-----+----+-----+----+-----+----+
| Time| m1 | m2 | m3 | m4 | m5 | m6 |
+=====+=====+====+=====+====+=====+====+
| 1/1 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 7 | 2 | 0 |
+-----+-----+----+-----+----+-----+----+
Am I screwed if I keep the table structured this way?
I am new to working with databases and I want to make sure I understand the best way to add or remove data from a database without making a mess of any related data.
Here is a scenario I am working with:
I have a Tags table, with an Identity ID column. The Tags can be selected via the web application to categorize stories that are submitted by a user. When the database was first seeded; like tags were seeded in order together. As you can see all the Campuses (cities) were 1-4, the Colleges (subjects) are 5-7, and Populations are 8-11.
If this database is live in production and the client wants to add a new Campus (City) tag, what is the best way to do this?
All the other city tags are sort of organized at the top, it seems like the only option is to insert any new tags at to bottom of the table, where they will end up taking whatever the next ID available is. I suppose this is fine because the Display category column will allow us to know which categories these new tags actually belong to.
Is this typical? Is there better ways to set up the database or handle this situation such that everything remains more organized?
Thank you
+----+------------------+---------------+-----------------+--------------+--------+----------+
| ID | DisplayName | DisplayDetail | DisplayCategory | DisplayOrder | Active | ParentID |
+----+------------------+---------------+-----------------+--------------+--------+----------+
| 1 | Albany | NULL | 1 | 0 | 1 | NULL |
| 2 | Buffalo | NULL | 1 | 1 | 1 | NULL |
| 3 | New York City | NULL | 1 | 2 | 1 | NULL |
| 4 | Syracuse | NULL | 1 | 3 | 1 | NULL |
| 5 | Business | NULL | 2 | 0 | 1 | NULL |

| 9 | Alumni | NULL | 3 | 1 | 1 | NULL |
| 10 | Faculty | NULL | 3 | 2 | 1 | NULL |
| 11 | Staff | NULL | 3 | 3 | 1 | NULL |
+----+------------------+---------------+-----------------+--------------+--------+----------+
The terms "top" and "bottom" which you use aren't really applicable. "Albany" isn't at the "Top" of the table - it's merely at the top of the specific view you see when you query the table without specifying a meaningful sort order. It defaults to a sort order based on the Id or an internal ROWID parameter, which isn't the logical way to show this data.
Data in the table isn't inherently ordered. If you want to view your tags organized by their category, simply order your query by DisplayCategory (and probably by DisplayOrder afterwards), and you'll see your data properly organized. You can even create a persistent View that sorts it that way for your convenience.
I have a table in Access named Spells which holds patient spells (where a patient has a spell within a hospital). It's structure is as below:
| ID | SpellID | MultipleSpell | FirstSpell | LastSpell |
|----|---------|---------------|------------|-----------|
| 1 | 1 | False | | |
| 2 | 2 | True | | |
| 3 | 2 | True | | |
| 4 | 3 | False | | |
| 5 | 4 | False | | |
| 6 | 5 | True | | |
| 7 | 5 | True | | |
| 8 | 5 | True | | |
The MultipleSpell column indicates that there are multiple occurrences of the spell within the table.
I'd like to run query which would update the FirstSpell column to True for records with the IDs of 1,2,4,5,6. So basically, where a Spell is the first one in the table, it should be marked, in the FirstSpell column.
I would also then like to update the LastSpell column to True for records with the IDs of 1,3,4,5,8.
The reasoning for this (if you're interested) is that the table links to a separate table containing the name of wards. It would be useful to link to this other table and indicate whether the ward is the admitting ward (FirstSpell) or the discharging ward (LastSpell)
You can update the first using:
update spells
set firstspell = 1
where id = (select min(id)
from spells as s2
where spells.spellid = s2.spellid
);
Similar logic (using max()) can be used for the last spell.
