nested select TOP 1 statement - sql

I am working on a system currently for Asset Management within our company.
The system allows users to sign in/out items on either a permenant or temporary basis.
I am working on some reporting on the system and have hit a stumbling block with returning the relevent data.
So i know that i need a nested Select TOP 1 statement within my main query but i cant get it to work.
The main query is as follows:
SELECT [Asset-User].ID, [Asset-User].Asset_ID, [Assets].ID, [Assets].Signed_Out, [Assets].Asset_Tag_Serial_Num, [Assets].Name_Hostname, [Assets].Type_ID, [Asset_Type].ID, [Asset_Type].Name_Model, [Asset-User].User_ID, [Company_Users].ID, [Asset-User].Sign_Out_Date, [Asset-User].Return_Date, [Asset-User].[Perm_Signout?]
FROM [Asset-User], [Assets], [Asset_Type], [Company_Users]
WHERE ([User_ID] = '1') AND [Asset-User].Asset_ID = [Assets].ID AND [Assets].Type_ID = [Asset_Type].ID AND [Asset-User].User_ID = [Company_Users].ID AND [Assets].Signed_Out = '1'
So this query returns everything that is currently marked as "Signed Out" that has ever been signed out by User 1.
Somewhere in here i need to add a nested Select TOP 1 on Asset-User.ID so that it only returns items that are marked as permanent sign outs, OR if not permanent that they have most recently been signed out by User 1.
This would then only give me a list of items currently assigned to that user and not display the Asset if someone else has signed it out since
Any help would be greatly appreciated
As per request Sample data below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o4T6bsxyO-1dGE0-FUtWFboRupcq4o4V9i2Em0_BjyU/edit?usp=sharing
First sheet shows actual results, second sheet shows roughly what should be expected
As you will see here, this user has signed out a few items multiple times (and those items may not most recently have been signed out by this user)
Its hard to get the sample data but in essence there should be no duplicate Asset_ID's in the list as only the most recent ID (sign out ID this relates to) should be displayed for each Asset_ID.
Does that help?
Thanks again
As per request here is the Schema build code that will create a sample DB to work with

This is not really an answer but will show you how you could rework this query using aliases and the (not really) newer join style.
SELECT au.ID
, au.Asset_ID
, a.ID
, a.Signed_Out
, a.Asset_Tag_Serial_Num
, a.Name_Hostname
, a.Type_ID
, at.ID
, at.Name_Model
, au.User_ID
, cu.ID
, au.Sign_Out_Date
, au.Return_Date
, au.[Perm_Signout?]
FROM [Asset-User] au
join Assets a on au.Asset_ID = a.ID
join Asset_Type at on a.Type_ID = at.ID
join Company_Users cu on au.User_ID = cu.ID
WHERE au.User_ID = '1'
AND a.Signed_Out = '1'

Why is my sql script returning "[null]" and "0" values even though my table is populated?

I have manually populated a table as follows:
INSERT INTO country VALUES
-- columns are countryid, name, continent, population, gdp, lifeexpectancy, founded
(1, 'Argentina', 36.3, 348.2, 70.75, 9/7/1816),
(2, 'Brazil', 183.3, 1004, 65.6, 9/7/1822),
(3, 'Canada', 30.1, 658, 77.08, 1/7/1867),
(4, 'England', 60.8, 1256, 75.15, NULL),
(5, 'France', 60, 1000, 75.15, 14/7/1789),
(6, 'Mexico', 107.5, 694.3, 69.36, 16/9/1821),
(7, 'USA', 270, 8003, 75.75, 4/7/1776),
(8, 'Cuba', 11.7, 16.9, 75.95, 24/2/1895),
(9, 'Guatemala', 20, 200, 60, 15/9/1821),
(10, 'Tanzania', 55.57, 47.43, 60.76, 9/12/1961),
(11, 'India', 1324, 2264, 68.35, NULL),

(14, 'Uganda', 41.49, 25.53, 59.18, NULL);
but when I query
SELECT lifeexpectancy FROM country;
The tables returns a combination of "0" and "[null]" values.
I've tried changing the data_type of lifeexpectancy. Neither text nor numeric data types return values that have been entered.
Any suggestions?
You are not inserting the continent. Presumably you want that, but it is not in your sample data.
You should be using standard date formats. In most databases, YYYY-MM-DD works. And you should list the columns. So:
INSERT INTO country (countryid, name, population, gdp, lifeexpectancy, founded)
VALUES (1, 'Argentina', 36.3, 348.2, 70.75, '1816-07-09'),
(2, 'Brazil', 183.3, 1004, 65.6, '1822-07-09'),
(3, 'Canada', 30.1, 658, 77.08, '1867-07-01'),
(4, 'England', 60.8, 1256, 75.15, NULL),
(5, 'France', 60, 1000, 75.15, '1789-07-14'),
(6, 'Mexico', 107.5, 694.3, 69.36, '1821-09-16'),
(7, 'USA', 270, 8003, 75.75, '1776-07-04'),
(8, 'Cuba', 11.7, 16.9, 75.95, '1895-02-24'),
(9, 'Guatemala', 20, 200, 60, '1821-09-15'),
(10, 'Tanzania', 55.57, 47.43, 60.76, '1961-12-09'),
(11, 'India', 1324, 2264, 68.35, NULL),
(12, 'South Africa', 55.91, 294.8, 57.44, '1910-05-31'),
(13, 'Costa Rica', 4.86, 57.44, 79.59, '1821-09-15'),
(14, 'Uganda', 41.49, 25.53, 59.18, NULL);
I believe you're supplying 6 values instead of 7 (may be because of Auto Increment), if that the case you need to specify the columns here.
Also pass date with single quotes surrounded:
INSERT INTO country (countryid, name, continent, population, gdp, lifeexpectancy, founded)
VALUES
(1, 'Argentina', 36.3, 348.2, 70.75, '9/7/1816'),

Deriving the first instance of a specific node type in a tree structure query using SQL

I am designing an Electrical design software that will model an electrical utility system from the incoming Power Utility right down to the individual circuits such as computers and coffee machines.
I want to give each component of the system a dedicated table. eg. Transformers, Loads, cables, PowerPanels (called buses in this example).
Each component can be connected to one or many other components. I am using a parent/child table to manage the connections and plan to use a CTE to derive the hierarchical tree structure for a given component.
The voltage supplying any component in the system will be derived by finding the first instance of a transformer or a utility in the tree.
I have developed a query that can handle this as demonstrated below.
However, this only works for selecting one component in the CTE. I am looking for a way to select all buses and their connected voltage (nearest trafo or Utility). The only solution I can come up with is to use a table function on the above query. Is there a better way of doing this.

SQL Server Management: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

I'm using SQL Server Management to create a database (fot a work in the university), I'm trying to insert new values into a table but recieving error.
The two relevant tables I created are:
create table ballotBox
(
bno integer,
cid numeric(4,0) references city,
street varchar(20),
hno integer,
totvoters integer,
primary key (bno)
);
create table votes
(
cid numeric(4,0) references city,
bno integer references ballotBox,
pid numeric(3,0) references party,
nofvotes integer
);
I've entered first the values to ballotBox (as well as for the table 'city' and 'party'):
insert into ballotBox values
(1, 1, 'street1', 10, 1500),
(2, 1, 'street2', 15, 490),
(3, 1, 'street2', 15, 610),
(4, 1, 'street2', 15, 650),

in votes table have FK bno
there are no record corresponding to 0 in ballotbox table
please remove this line from votes statement then insert

following error code is seen on microsoft sql server-
Msg 215, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Parameters supplied for object 'Countries' which is not a function. If the parameters are intended as a table hint, a WITH keyword is required.
Please help by sharing the reason ?
Don't use single quotes for column name.
INSERT INTO Countries ([sno], [Name])...
You can use brackets normally.
Or you can use double quote " if SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER is ON (it should be by default)
Currently you have string literals which is causing SQL Server to interpret the code way different to what you expect
You could leave all the bracketed section out all together: SQL Fiddle
INSERT INTO Countries VALUES
This is therefore none explicit and not best practice (see comment by #AaronBertrand) - but still an alternative.

How to select unique subsequences in SQL?

In generic terms I have a sequence of events, from which i'd like to select unique non-repeatable sequences using MS SQL Server 2008 R2.
Specifically in this case, each test has a series of recordings, each of which have a specific sequence of stimuli. I'd like to select the unique sequences of stimuli from inside the recordings of one test, insert them into another table and assign the sequence group id to the original table.
DECLARE #Sequence TABLE
([ID] INT
,[TestID] INT
,[StimulusID] INT
,[RecordingID] INT
,[PositionInRecording] INT
,[SequenceGroupID] INT
)
INSERT #Sequence
VALUES
(1, 1, 101, 1000, 1, NULL),
(2, 1, 102, 1000, 2, NULL),
(3, 1, 103, 1000, 3, NULL),
(4, 1, 103, 1001, 1, NULL),
(5, 1, 103, 1001, 2, NULL),
(6, 1, 101, 1001, 3, NULL),
(7, 1, 102, 1002, 1, NULL),
(8, 1, 103, 1002, 2, NULL),
(9, 1, 101, 1002, 3, NULL),
(10, 1, 102, 1003, 1, NULL),
(11, 1, 103, 1003, 2, NULL),
(12, 1, 101, 1003, 3, NULL),
(13, 2, 106, 1004, 1, NULL),
(14, 2, 107, 1004, 2, NULL),
(15, 2, 107, 1005, 1, NULL),
(16, 2, 106, 1005, 2, NULL)
After correctly identifying the unique sequences, the results should look like this
DECLARE #SequenceGroup TABLE
([ID] INT
,[TestID] INT
,[SequenceGroupName] NVARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT #SequenceGroup VALUES
(1, 1, '101-102-103'),

This is fairly easy to do in MySQL and other databases that support some version of GROUP_CONCAT functionality. It's apparently a good deal harder in SQL Server. Here's a stackoverflow question that discusses one technique. Here's another with some information about SQL Server 2008 specific solutions that might also get you started.
This will do it. Had to add an column to #SequenceGroup.
DECLARE #Sequence TABLE
