Error with Between clause - sql
I'm getting the following error with this query: Between operator without And in query expression '[DateTime] BETWEEN [StartDate'.
The query and database is in Access 2010

Instead of using the BETWEEN operator in your JOIN...ON statement, use it in the WHERE clause.
For example:
select
...
from tableA
join tableB
on tableA.[DateTime] = tableB.[DateTime]
where tableA.[DateTime] BETWEEN #mm/dd/yyyy# AND #mm/dd/yyyy#

Tuning a query converting subquery
I was trying to change an update statement where there is a subquery in the WHERE clause to a join in order to improve performance. DDL to sample table/data CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]( [pre_plan_id] [smallint] NULL, [pre_type_id] [smallint] NULL, [associate_id] [smallint] NOT NULL, [deleted] [bit] NOT NULL ) INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (NULL, NULL, -32768, 0), (1, NULL, 2, 1), (1, NULL, 3, 0), (NULL, NULL, 3109, 0), (1, NULL, 3109, 1) CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table2]( [type_id] [smallint] NOT NULL, [plan_id] [smallint] NOT NULL, [associate_id] [smallint] NOT NULL, [time_in] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ) INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES (390, 31, 3109, '2009-09-02'), (304, 32, 3109, '2010-02-05'), (388, 31, 3109, '2010-09-24') The query that uses a subquery: SELECT pre_plan_id, pre_type_id FROM Table1 WHERE pre_plan_id =1 AND associate_id NOT IN (SELECT TOP 2 associate_id FROM Table2 WHERE time_in= '2010-09-24 00:00:00' group by associate_id order by count(*) desc) My attempt of converting it to JOIN SELECT pre_plan_id FROM (SELECT pre_plan_id, pre_type_id, rn FROM Table1 a LEFT JOIN ( select associate_id, Row_number() over (partition by associate_id order by count(*) desc ) rn FROM Table2 WHERE time_in= '2010-09-24 00:00:00' Group by associate_id) b ON a.associate_id = b.associate_id where b.rn <> 1) a where pre_plan_id = 1 However, this displays nothing while I expect two rows; and it is happening because of b.rn <> 1 I expected it would display the NULL values when it is b.rn <> 1 Any explanation for this? Any guide on better approach of tuning the query is much appreciated. Thanks.
You can just move the subquery to the FROM clause and use LEFT JOIN: SELECT t1.pre_plan_id, t1.pre_type_id FROM Table1 t1 LEFT JOIN (SELECT TOP 2 t2.associate_id FROM Table2 WHERE t2.time_in= '2010-09-24 00:00:00' GROUP BY associate_id ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC ) t2 ON t2.associate_id = t1.associate_id WHERE t1.pre_plan_id = 1 AND t2.associate_id IS NULL;
Calculate date difference between dates in different rows of a dataset
A table looks like this : CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HistDT]( [ID] [bigint] NULL, [StartDtSK] [varchar](8) NULL, [StartDt] [datetime] NULL, [status] [nvarchar](30) NULL, ) ON [PRIMARY] Example data set: ID | StartDtSK | StartDt | Status | 1 20190520 20-05-2019 12:00:13 10 1 20190520 20-05-2019 10:00:00 5 1 20190414 14-04-2019 13:23:00 2 2 20190312 12-03-2019 10:03:00 10 2 20190308 08-03-2019 18:03:00 1 etc.. I need a query which will display the number of days spent in each status. That would be easy if the table i inherited had an end date. I would then calculate the datediff and pivot for column status values. Maybe i should create a new table using ssis where i will add an EndDt column which will be the StartDt of the latest added Status. But is there any way to do this without creating another table?
SQL Server 2008 This is not very pretty, and I haven't tested it for all use cases. I hope you can use it or find inspiration. I'm sure there is a better way :) declare #table2 table ( [ID] [bigint] NULL, [StartDtSK] [varchar](8) NULL, [StartDt] [datetime] NULL, [status] [nvarchar](30) NULL ) insert into #table2 values (1 , '20190520','2019-05-20 12:00:13','10'), (1 , '20190520','2019-05-20 10:00:00','5'), (1 , '20190414','2019-04-14 13:23:00','2'), (2, '20190312', '2019-03-12 10:03:00', '10'), (2 , '20190308', '2019-03-08 18:03:00', '1') select *,DATEDIFF(dd,startdt,enddate) as TotalDAys from ( select x.ID,StartDtSK,Startdt,[Status],Enddate from ( select *,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by id order by startdt) as rn from #table2 ) x cross apply ( select * from (select id,StartDt as Enddate,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by id order by startdt) as rn2 from #table2 b )f where (rn +1 = f.rn2 ) and x.id = f.id ) d union all select ID,StartDtSK,startdt,[Status],'9999-12-31' as Enddate from ( select *,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by id order by startdt desc) as rn from #table2 )X where rn=1 )y order by id,startdt SQL Server 2008 without cross apply This might be a bit more pretty :) select *,DATEDIFF(dd,startdt,enddate) as TotalDAys from ( select x.ID,StartDtSK,Startdt,[Status],case when Enddate is null then '9999-12-31' else Enddate end as Enddate from ( select *,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by id order by startdt) as rn from #table2 ) x left join ( select * from (select id,StartDt as Enddate,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by id order by startdt) as rn2 from #table2 b )f ) d on (rn +1 = d.rn2 ) and x.id = d.id )y SQL Server 2012 and above: Is this what you want? declare #table2 table ( [ID] [bigint] NULL, [StartDtSK] [varchar](8) NULL, [StartDt] [datetime] NULL, [status] [nvarchar](30) NULL ) insert into #table2 values (1 , '20190520','2019-05-20 12:00:13','10'), (1 , '20190520','2019-05-20 10:00:00','5'), (1 , '20190414','2019-04-14 13:23:00','2') select *,Datediff(dd,Startdt,Enddate) as TotalDays from ( select *,LAG(StartDt,1,'9999-12-31') over(partition by ID order by StartDT desc) as EndDate from #table2 )x Insert a rule that handles current status (9999-12-31) date
Maybe LEAD function is usefull for your question. Like this IsNull(DateAdd(SECOND,-1,Cast(LEAD ([StartDt],1) OVER (PARTITION BY [status] ORDER BY [StartDt]) AS DATETIME)),getdate()) AS EndDate
SELECT using Correlated Sub Queries and multiple tables
I have two tables (Table1 & Table2). One including a date (tDate) column and an ID (tTillNo) column that I would like to group by. And another with values (pValue) that I would like to sum for each date and ID. The tables can be joined using the 'tName' and 'pName' columns from each table, however the pName column may have duplicates, which I would like to include in the sum. For the 3 sub queries I also need to include the where clauses using the 'pCode' column. And I would like to return the columns shown here Using the below code however returns the sub queries with incorrect totals as I am using 'MAX(a.tName)' to prevent the grouping of this field. Could anyone suggest another way of preventing this or an alternative way of going about this query? SELECT DATENAME(Month,a.tDate) as 'Month Name', DAY(a.tDate) as 'Day', MONTH(a.tDate) as 'Month', YEAR(a.tDate) as 'Year', a.tTillNo, BankedCash=(SELECT ISNULL(CAST(SUM(b.pValue) as numeric(12,2)),0) FROM Table2 b where MAX(a.tName)=b.pName AND pCode = 'CSH' or pCode = 'CHQ'), CardTransactions=(SELECT ISNULL(CAST(SUM(b.pValue) as numeric(12,2)),0) FROM Table2 b where MAX(a.tName)=b.pName AND b.pCode = 'CRD'), BankingTotal=(SELECT ISNULL(CAST(SUM(b.pValue) as numeric(12,2)),0) FROM Table2 b where MAX(a.tName)=b.pName AND b.pCode = 'CSH' or b.pCode = 'CHQ' or b.pCode = 'CRD') FROM Table1 a group by YEAR(a.tDate), MONTH (a.tDate), DATENAME(Month,a.tDate), DAY(a.tDate), a.tTillNo order by YEAR(a.tDate), MONTH (a.tDate), DATENAME(Month,a.tDate) Any suggestions or article referrals would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]( [UniqueID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [tTillNo] [varchar](4) NULL, [tName] [varchar](20) NULL, [tDate] [datetime] NULL) INSERT INTO Table1 (tTillNo, tName, tDate) VALUES ('0101', '01010000001', '2018-10-30 00:00:00.000'), ('0101', '01010000002', '2018-10-30 00:00:00.000'), ('0102', '01020000001', '2018-10-30 00:00:00.000'), ('0102', '01020000002', '2018-10-30 00:00:00.000') CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table2]( [UniqueID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [pName] [varchar](20) NULL, [pCode] [varchar](10) NULL, [pValue] [decimal](22, 7) NULL) INSERT INTO Table2 (pName, pCode, pValue) VALUES ('01010000001', 'CRD', '100.0000000'), ('01010000002', 'CSH', '100.0000000'), ('01020000001', 'CHQ', '100.0000000'), ('01020000002', 'CSH', '100.0000000'), ('01020000002', 'CRD', '100.0000000'), ('01010000001', 'CSH', '100.0000000')
I think you can solve this all with a join. select DATENAME(Month,a.tDate) as 'Month Name' , DAY(a.tDate) as 'Day' , MONTH(a.tDate) as 'Month' , YEAR(a.tDate) as 'Year' , a.tTillNo , BankedCash=SUM(case when pCode in( 'CSH','CHQ') then pvalue else 0 end) , [Card] = SUM(case when pCode in( 'CRD') then pvalue else 0 end) ,Total = SUM(pvalue) from TableA a join TableB b on a.tName=b.pName group by YEAR(a.tDate) , MONTH (a.tDate) , DATENAME(Month,a.tDate) , DAY(a.tDate) , a.tTillNo
SQL - condition on a timestampdiff
I would like to get the average time of solution time for tickets from state 'billet ouvert' to state 'résolu'. Table Sample The queries I tried: Query 1: SELECT title AS 'Etat', ticket_id, user_id, AVG(TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, helpdesk_followup.date having title in ('billet ouvert'), helpdesk_followup.date having title in ('résolu')) ) AS 'moyenne' FROM helpdesk_followup GROUP BY user_id; Query 2: SELECT title AS 'Etat', ticket_id, user_id, AVG(TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, helpdesk_followup.date as date1, helpdesk_followup.date as date2) ) AS 'moyenne' FROM helpdesk_followup WHERE date1 having title IN 'résolu' AND date2 having title IN 'billet ouvert' GROUP BY user_id; But these queries doesn't get the result I need. How can I add condition to a timestampdiff?
The first column is the starting event and the second column is the end event. I have done the average in minutes. This SQL works off the title which you may wish to tweak to something more distinct select a.title, b.title, avg(DateDiff(MINUTE, '00:00:00', b.[date] ) - DateDiff(MINUTE, '00:00:00', a.[date] ) ) from (select *, row_number() over (order by [date]) hf from helpdesk_followup) a join (select *, row_number() over (order by [date]) hf from helpdesk_followup) b on (a.hf=b.hf-1) group by a.title, b.title I have left out the user_id from the query as I'm unsure if you wish to break it down using that field. Hopefully its a start for you to amend into what you need EDIT: Here is the test data I used for the query CREATE TABLE [dbo].[helpdesk_followup]( [title] [varchar](50) NULL, [ticket_id] [int] NULL, [user_id] [int] NULL, [date] [datetime] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF GO INSERT [dbo].[helpdesk_followup] ([title], [ticket_id], [user_id], [date]) VALUES (N'billet ouvert', 133, NULL, CAST(N'2015-07-22 15:36:00.000' AS DateTime)) GO INSERT [dbo].[helpdesk_followup] ([title], [ticket_id], [user_id], [date]) VALUES (N'résolu', 133, 19, CAST(N'2015-07-23 15:36:00.000' AS DateTime)) GO INSERT [dbo].[helpdesk_followup] ([title], [ticket_id], [user_id], [date]) VALUES (N'billet ouvert', 134, 15, CAST(N'2015-07-23 15:36:00.000' AS DateTime)) GO INSERT [dbo].[helpdesk_followup] ([title], [ticket_id], [user_id], [date]) VALUES (N'résolu', 134, 21, CAST(N'2015-07-27 15:36:00.000' AS DateTime)) GO
T-SQL join to get both mated and non mated start and stop records
I have a poorly designed table that I did not design and cannot fix/change because a 3rd party blackberry app that writes to it. The meat is that there is a start record and a stop record for tracking events with NO connection or validation that there is a match. The blackberry app does nothing to tie these records together. I have tried to create a join on its self and create temp tables with the begin and one with the end to full outer join them. The problem is that I have duplicate entries were the entry should be marked as having no mate. Existing data has rows with no mate on both the start and end records. I have searched SO for answers and I found some close answers that have led me this far. I know its a long post, sorry for that. There is a single table that surprisingly has a primary key. There is no pivot/intersection table. Structure is ID (int PK) activityType varchar beginEnd varchar ('begin' or 'end') businessKey varchar nullable date DATETIME technician varchar The following columns are in the table as well, but are nullable, and not important to the query. dateSubmitted DATETIME gpsLatitude float gpsLongitude float note varchar odometer int The query that I have now that still leaves dupes: Showing and sorting

Here is a method which abuses the row_number function. Please check the comments for some explanation. ;with Seq as ( -- Create a master sequence of events -- Trust the date column to be accurate (don't match a Begin to an earlier End) select id, activitytype, beginend , coalesce(businesskey, '') as businesskey -- Needed to match nulls as equal , [date], technician, note , row_number() over (partition by technician, businesskey, activitytype order by [date], beginend, id) as rownumber from TimeEntry ) select b.id as BeginID , e.id as EndID , coalesce(b.technician, e.technician) as Technician , coalesce(b.businesskey, e.businesskey) as BusinessKey , coalesce(b.activitytype, e.activitytype) as ActivityType , coalesce(convert(char(10), b.[date], 103), 'Incomplete') as BeginDate , coalesce(convert(char(10), e.[date], 103), 'Incomplete') as EndDate , coalesce(convert(char(5), b.[date], 108), 'Incomplete') as BeginTime , coalesce(convert(char(5), e.[date], 108), 'Incomplete') as EndTime , b.note as BeginNote , e.note as EndNote from (select * from Seq where beginend = 'Begin') b -- Get all Begins full outer join (select * from Seq where beginend = 'End') e -- Get all Ends on b.technician = e.technician and b.businesskey = e.businesskey and b.activitytype = e.activitytype and b.rownumber = e.rownumber - 1 -- Match a Begin with only the very next End of that type order by coalesce(b.[date], e.[date]) , coalesce(b.id, e.id) , coalesce(b.technician, e.technician) , coalesce(b.businesskey, e.businesskey) , coalesce(b.activitytype, e.activitytype) And the SQL Fiddle should anyone want the DDL or demo.
Using CTE's and Row_Number() I think I can return what you are looking for. The key is to only perform your full outer by joining on adajacent rows based upon an ordering of technician, businesskey, activitytype. Anyway here it is: WITH EventsCTE AS ( select id, technician,businessKey,activityType, CAST(date as date) As date, dateSubmitted, beginEnd, note, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Partition BY technician, businesskey, activityType ORDER BY dateSubmitted) as rowN from TimeEntry ), BeginEventsCTE AS ( select id, technician,businessKey,activityType, CAST(date as date) As date, dateSubmitted, note, rowN from EventsCTE WHERE beginEnd = 'Begin' ), EndEventsCTE AS ( select id, technician,businessKey, activityType, CAST(date as date) As date, dateSubmitted, note, rowN from EventsCTE WHERE beginEnd = 'End' ) SELECT B.id, E.id As EndId, COALESCE(B.activityType ,E.activityType ,'Not Available') AS ActivityType, COALESCE(convert(VARCHAR(12), B.[date], 103), 'Incomplete') As EventDate, COALESCE(convert(VARCHAR(12), E.[date], 103), 'Incomplete') As EndDate, COALESCE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(5) , B.dateSubmitted , 108) , 'Incomplete') As StartTime, COALESCE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(5) , E.dateSubmitted , 108) , 'Incomplete') As EndTime, COALESCE(B.Note, E.note, '') as Note, COALESCE(B.technician, E.technician, 'Not Available') As Technician --, B.rowN, E.rowN FROM BeginEventsCTE B FULL OUTER join EndEventsCTE E ON B.technician = E.technician AND B.businessKey = E.businessKey AND B.activityType = E.activityType AND B.date = E.date AND B.rowN = E.rowN - 1 ORDER BY COALESCE(B.Technician, E.Technician), COALESCE(b.id,E.id) And here's the results:
