How do I write this SQL query in MS Access to - sql

I have a list of records like so
ID---EffectiveDate---Rate
1----1/1/2011--------1.2
2----1/1/2012--------1.3
3----1/1/2013--------1.5
4----1/1/2014--------1.2
Given a date parameter, d1, I want to get the record with the latest effective date prior to d1. So, if d1 = 6/1/2012, I want to get the second record. How can I write a query like this in MS Access SQL?

I think the SQL query would looks something like this, based on your data:
SELECT TOP 1 EffectiveDate
FROM MyTableOfDates
WHERE EffectiveDate <= #MyInputDate#
ORDER BY EffectiveDate DESC

Try this,
select top 1 * from tablename where EffectiveDate<=d1 order by EffectiveDate desc

get the latest records

I am currently still on my SQL educational journey and need some help!
The query I have is as below;
SELECT
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.kf_ID_Client_Reference_Number,
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.TimeStamp_Creation,
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.Clause,
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.NC_type,
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.NC_Rect_Received,
Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.Audit_Num
FROM Audit_Non_Conformance_Records
I am trying to tweak this to show only the most recent results based on Audit_Non_Conformance_Records.TimeStamp_Creation
I have tried using MAX() but all this does is shows the latest date for all records.
basically the results of the above give me this;
But I only need the result with the date 02/10/2019 as this is the latest result. There may be multiple results however. So for example if 02/10/2019 had never happened I would need all of the idividual recirds from the 14/10/2019 ones.
Does that make any sense at all?
You can filter with a subquery:
SELECT
kf_ID_Client_Reference_Number,
TimeStamp_Creation,
Clause,
NC_type,
NC_Rect_Received,
Audit_Num
FROM Audit_Non_Conformance_Records a
where TimeStamp_Creation = (
select max(TimeStamp_Creation)
from Audit_Non_Conformance_Records
)
This will give you all whose TimeStamp_Creation is equal to the greater value available in the table.
If you want all records that have the greatest day (exluding time), then you can do:
SELECT
kf_ID_Client_Reference_Number,
TimeStamp_Creation,
Clause,
NC_type,
NC_Rect_Received,
Audit_Num
FROM Audit_Non_Conformance_Records a
where cast(TimeStamp_Creation as date) = (
select cast(max(TimeStamp_Creation) as date)
from Audit_Non_Conformance_Records
)
Edit
If you want the latest record per refNumber, then you can correlate the subquery, like so:
SELECT
kf_ID_Client_Reference_Number,
TimeStamp_Creation,
Clause,
NC_type,
NC_Rect_Received,
Audit_Num
FROM Audit_Non_Conformance_Records a
where TimeStamp_Creation = (
select max(TimeStamp_Creation)
from Audit_Non_Conformance_Records a1
where a1.refNumber = a.refNumber
)
For performance, you want an index on (refNumber, TimeStamp_Creation).
If you want the latest date in SQL Server, you can express this as:
SELECT TOP (1) WITH TIES ancr.kf_ID_Client_Reference_Number,
ancr.TimeStamp_Creation,
ancr.Clause,
ancr.NC_type,
ancr.NC_Rect_Received,
ancr.Audit_Num
FROM Audit_Non_Conformance_Records ancr
ORDER BY CONVERT(date, ancr.TimeStamp_Creation) DESC;
SQL Server is pretty good about handling dates with conversions, so I would not be surprised if this used an index on TimeStamp_Creation.

SQL max without group by

I would like to get one row with the maximum date. I cannot use group by as I need to retrieve all data in that row.
I have this:
ID Date Country
1 05/05/2019 US
2 05/06/2019 UK
I want to get this:
ID Date Country
2 05/06/2019 UK
I've tried the below but it didn't work for me
select TOP 1 ID, Date, country
from table
order by Date desc
I don't believe you. Here is a db<>fiddle that shows three different interpretations of the date in your sample data:
as a string
as mm/dd/yyyy
as dd/mm/yyyy
All three of them produce the same result.
I suspect that your actual data is more complicated and you have oversimplified the example for the question. Further, my suspicion is that the date column is stored as a string rather than a date.
As a string, you might have some hidden characters that affect the sorting (such as leading spaces).
If this is the case, fix the data type and your code will work.
This depends on what DB system you are using.
In Microsoft SQL server, you can use row_number() function:
select top 1 *
from facts
order by ROW_NUMBER() over (order by dateKey)
Can you try this?
select Top 1 ID,Date, country from table where date = max(date)
First set the DATE or DATETIME Datatype in your [Date] column
then try this code:
SELECT TOP 1 ID, [Date] , country FROM TableName ORDER BY Date DESC
SELECT ID,Date,Country from TableName Where Date = MAX(Date) AND Rownum <= 1

SQL State to Find Record that meets certain date criterion

I am use ADO SQL in VBA to try and need the solution to the following example:
Table
ID Effective Date of Documentation
1 1/1/2015
2 6/1/2015
3 1/1/2016
4 6/1/2016
In the example above the documentation for the ID 1 is in effective from 1/1/2015 through 5/31/2015, for ID 2 its in effect from 6/1/2015 through 12/31/2015, and so forth. So if I have a date say 8/1/2015, then I need to return the record which the documentation is in effect for. So in this example the record for ID 2 would be returned. I need some SQL to accomplish this and I cant figure out how! Any ideas? Is this possible to do with this structure or do I need to create some artificial column first for the end date and query that?
You can do this by doing:
select t.*
from table t
where effdate < #date
order by effdate desc
fetch first 1 row only;
This is the SQL standard syntax. Different databases might have different syntax for selecting one row.
EDIT:
In MS Access you would do:
select TOP 1 t.*
from t
where effdate < #date
order by effdate desc;

how to display last 10 numbers in sql

i have a table A with two column (number varchar(600),Date_ varchar(800))
now i have to display last 10 numbers order by Date_.
SELECT top(10) Number,Date FROM A ORDER BY Date_ DESC,
the problem is that for one month its showing result as desired,
but as soon next month start it not showing result as desired
i want the result like this.
10,2/2/2016
22,1/2/2016
10,31/1/2016
20,30/1/2016
30,29/1/2016
23,28/1/2016
20,27/1/2016
11,26/1/2016
18,25/1/2016
62,24/1/2016
56,23/1/2016
54,22/1/2016
44,21/1/2016
i am getting this result for --/1/2016 month but not for --/2/2016.
so kindly help.
Try the below script
SELECT top(10) Number,Date
FROM A
ORDER BY convert(datetime,Date,103) DESC
If you don't want to/can't change the structure of your table, then you need to use Parsing.
SELECT TOP 10 PARSE(Number AS int) AS Number,
PARSE(Date AS datetime2) AS Date
FROM A
ORDER BY Date DESC
You may need to do a PARSE in your ORDER BY as well.
Just a small change to your code should fix this
SELECT top(10) Number,Date FROM A ORDER BY cast(DATE_ as date) DESC.
Typically dates are stored as numbers in Microsoft world, i.e. 1/1/1900 is 1
1/2/1900 is 2
1/31/1900 is 31 and so on...
So changing your varchar to a date (provided there is no junk in the field) should fix this.

SQL find period that contain dates of specific year

I have a table (lets call it AAA) containing 3 colums ID,DateFrom,DateTo
I want to write a query to return all the records that contain (even 1 day) within the period DateFrom-DateTo of a specific year (eg 2016).
I am using SQL Server 2005
Thank you
Another way is this:
SELECT <columns list>
FROM AAA
WHERE DateFrom <= '2016-12-31' AND DateTo >= '2016-01-01'
If you have an index on DateFrom and DateTo, this query allows Sql-Server to use that index, unlike the query in Max xaM's answer.
On a small table you will probably see no difference but on a large one there can be a big performance hit using that query, since Sql-Server can't use an index if the column in the where clause is inside a function
Try this:
SELECT * FROM AAA
WHERE DATEPART(YEAR,DateFrom)=2016 OR DATEPART(YEAR,DateTo)=2016
Well you can use the following query
select * from Table1
WHERE DateDiff(day,DateFrom,DateTo)>0
AND YEAR(DateFrom) = YEAR(DateTo)
And here is the result:
Enjoy :D !
