How to fetch data according to date in sql - sql

Question

I have a table truck_data with columns truck_no, diesel_filled, source, destination, amount etc
I want to fetch only truck_no and diesel_filled in such way that it will show the details of diesel_filled in each truck through out the month..
Please tell me the SQL query for that - I had tried this query but it's not working
SELECT
truck_no, diesel_filled, date
FROM
truck-data
ORDER BY
date
Please help me out
Thanks in advance
I want output like this
truck_no 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc(date from 1 to 31))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
xyz 25 22 33 33 22 22 22 0 0 (diesel filled in truck order by date)
pqr 25 25 22 11 22 00 22 55 22
abc 21 15 12 14 13 00 22 00 00

Answer 1

It's still quite unclear what you want. But I think you are mixing presentation and data
SELECT truck_no,diesel_filled,date
FROM truck-data
ORDER BY date
Will give you all rows ordered by date. Presumably you whant some filter on that to only show a specific month.
SELECT truck_no,diesel_filled,date
FROM truck-data
WHERE date >= 2014-10-05 AND date < 2014-11-01 ORDER BY date
To get all the rows for october this year. If date here is a DateTime column.
Then you could change it to:
SELECT truck_no,sum(diesel_filled),Day(date)
FROM truck-data
WHERE date >= 2014-10-05 AND date < 2014-11-01
GROUP BY truck_no
ORDER BY date"
That would give you only one row per day and truck. If disel_filled is a numeric value of some kind.
Then in your UI you would have to do the presentation in any way you prefer. For example in some kind of pivot table like your description above.
You could of course do that in SQL as well, but usually that is a job for the presentation layer.
If you really want to do in SQL you could look into: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410(v=sql.105).aspx
If you'r using MsSql.
