tracking IP addresses - sql

Question

I want to track IP addresses visited my website. I want to know what time and what page they visit. I store ip address in VISITORIP, date entered in DATEENTERED and page URL in HTTPADDRESS columns.
I want to group them by dates. My outcome should be like:
TIME PAGE
7/12/2009
3:16:27 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=1
2:46:50 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=8
2:20:45 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=11
7/11/2009
9:34:28 AM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=7
9:33:31 AM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=2
7/10/2009
9:53:16 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=9
9:34:14 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=4
9:27:11 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=3
9:15:47 PM ?Section=products&SubSection=products&CATEGORYID=15
Problem is, I could not group them by dates. I get the outcome as:
07/12/2009
7/12/2009 3:16:27 PM /html/default.aspProcess=HomeNewSeason&IMAGECONTENT=bg_home_newtaste.gif
7/12/2009 3:16:27 PM /html/default.aspProcess=HomeBestSeller&IMAGECONTENT=bg_home_customerschoice.gif
07/12/2009
7/12/2009 3:16:27 PM /html/default.aspProcess=HomeNewSeason&IMAGECONTENT=bg_home_newtaste.gif
7/12/2009 3:16:27 PM /html/default.aspProcess=HomeBestSeller&IMAGECONTENT=bg_home_customerschoice.gif
07/09/2009
7/9/2009 5:37:02 PM /html/default.aspSection=checkout
07/09/2009
7/9/2009 5:37:02 PM /html/default.aspSection=checkout
07/09/2009
7/9/2009 5:37:02 PM /html/default.aspSection=checkout
My codes:
<%
Case "TrackIP"
IPADDRESS = Request.QueryString("IPADDRESS")
SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEENTERED, 101) AS DATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " FROM STATS"
SQL = SQL & " WHERE VISITORIP = '"& IPADDRESS &"'"
SQL = SQL & " GROUP BY DATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY DATEENTERED DESC"
Set objDateEntered = objConn.Execute(SQL)
%>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Page</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% Do While Not objDateEntered.EOF %>
<tr class="row-title">
<td colspan="2"><%=objDateEntered("DATEENTERED")%></td>
</tr>
<%
SQL = "WITH LASTVISIT AS ("
SQL = SQL & " SELECT VISITORIP, MAX(DATEENTERED) AS DATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " FROM STATS"
SQL = SQL & " WHERE VISITORIP = '"& IPADDRESS &"' AND CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEENTERED, 101) = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), '"& objDateEntered("DATEENTERED") &"', 101)"
SQL = SQL & " GROUP BY VISITORIP"
SQL = SQL & " )"
SQL = SQL & " SELECT STATS.VISITORIP, STATS.HTTPADDRESS, STATS.DATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " FROM STATS"
SQL = SQL & " INNER JOIN LASTVISIT"
SQL = SQL & " ON LASTVISIT.VISITORIP = STATS.VISITORIP AND LASTVISIT.DATEENTERED = STATS.DATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY STATS.DATEENTERED DESC"
Set objTrackIP = objConn.Execute(SQL)
%>
<% Do While Not objTrackIP.EOF %>
<tr class="row-a">
<td><%=objTrackIP("DATEENTERED")%></td>
<td class=""><%=objTrackIP("HTTPADDRESS")%></td>
</tr>
<%
objTrackIP.MoveNext
Loop
%>
<%
objDateEntered.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</tbody>
</table>
edit: I think problem is with my outer query. But I grouped them by DATEENTERED field, I dont know what else can I do.

Answer 1

First query should be
"SELECT
DISTINCT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEENTERED, 101) AS vDATE
FROM
STATS
WHERE
VISITORIP = '"& IPADDRESS &"'"
ORDER BY
DATEENTERED DESC"
then print the vData column
and the 2nd SQL
SELECT
VISITORIP, HTTPADDRESS, CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), DATEENTERED, 8) AS vTIME
FROM
STATS
WHERE
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEENTERED, 101) = '" & objDateEntered("vDATE") &"'
AND VISITORIP = '"& IPADDRESS &"'
ORDER BY VISITORIP ASC, DATEENTERED DESC
I think this will do the trick..

Answer 2

The problem is in next code line:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEENTERED, 101) AS DATEENTERED
and then you group by this date
GROUP BY DATEENTERED
ORDER BY DATEENTERED DESC
You group and order by the varchar.
As I think, you need to use another alias to date when you convert it ro varchar, but you really need to order by dateentered that is datetime type.

It you're trying to get some visitor tracking happening have you thought of using something like Google Analytics?
