I might have a problem with my SQL query. In this query I'm combining 4 different tables.
I have a table courses where general information is stored (course_number, course_title).
I have a table employees where general information of employees isstored (empname, and a job_id).
A employee has a job. A employee needs to take courses. It depends on the job which courses he has to take. This info is stored in the table job_course (with the job_id and the course_id).
If a employee completed a course it is stored in the table emp_courses (with the e_id and the course_id)
Now I want to search a certain course - when the user presses the search button he should get two different results.
The first one: here you can see which employee already took this course (this query works so far)
the second one: here you can see which employee still needs to take the course. So i need to check which job the employee has and if he needs to make that course . and also i just want to have the ones that are not completed yet.
And that's the query that is not working
Here it is:
OpenDb_Open("select course_number,course_title, empname from course
INNER JOIN (job_course INNER JOIN (employee INNER JOIN emp_course
ON emp_course.e_id<>employee.e_id) ON job_course.job_id=employee.job_id)
ON course.course_id=job_course.course_id
where course_number like '" + coursenumber + "'");
Can someone please help me with this?
Courses the employee hasn't taken.
SELECT * FROM courses
WHERE course_number IN (
SELECT course_id FROM job_course
WHERE course_id NOT IN (
SELECT course_id FROM emp_courses
WHERE emp_id = {someid}
) AND job_id = (
SELECT job_id FROM employees
WHERE emp_id = {user_input}
)
)
Which employees still need to take a course.
SELECT emp_name FROM employees
WHERE emp_id NOT IN (
SELECT emp_id FROM emp_courses
WHERE course_id = {user_input}
)
Variant of above.
SELECT emp_name FROM employees
WHERE emp_id NOT IN (
SELECT emp_id FROM emp_courses
WHERE course_id = (
SELECT course_id FROM courses
WHERE course_number = {user_input}
)
)

I want to retrieve data from two tables like below. I have a Products table which has P_id, P_name columns and a BATCH table with p_id_fk as a foreign key to the Products table.
This is my query; I want to retrieved from product's name from the Product table because I have stored the Products table primary key as a foreign in the Batch table.
SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter("Select batch_id, quantity, left_qty, purchaseDate, manufacturing_date, expiryDate from batch where Convert(DATE, expiryDate, 103) BETWEEN #from AND #to", con);
sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#from", Convert.ToDateTime(datePicker1.SelectedDate.Value).ToString("yyyyMMdd"));
sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#to", Convert.ToDateTime(datePicker2.SelectedDate.Value).ToString("yyyyMMdd"));
If you want to retrieve data from two tables you need to use a SQL JOIN
I am not sure of the exact make up of your tables but something like the below
Select batch_id,
product_name,
quantity,
left_qty,
purchaseDate,
manufacturing_date,
expiryDate
from batch B
INNER JOIN Products P
ON P.P_id = B.P_id
where Convert(DATE,expiryDate,103) BETWEEN #from AND #to
you need to have a join or cross apply here.
Option 1 - inner join:
Select
b.batch_id,pd.product_name,quantity,left_qty,
purchaseDate,manufacturing_date,expiryDate from batch b
inner join product pd on pd.p_id = b.p_id where Convert(DATE,expiryDate,103)
BETWEEN #from AND #to
Option 2 cross apply:
Select
b.batch_id,pd.product_name,quantity,left_qty,
purchaseDate,manufacturing_date,expiryDate from batch b
cross apply
(
select product_name from product p
where p.p_id = b.p_id
) pd
where Convert(DATE,expiryDate,103)
BETWEEN #from AND #to
for more about cross apply look here.
Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but I believe for your query you are looking for something simple as JOIN between Products and Batch tables:
SELECT
P.P_id,
P.P_name,
B.batch_id,
B.product_name,
B.quantity,
B.left_qty,
B.purchaseDate,
B.manufacturing_date,
B.expiryDate
FROM Batch AS B
INNER JOIN Products AS P
ON B.p_id_fk = P.P_id
WHERE CONVERT(DATE, B.expiryDate, 103) BETWEEN #from AND #to
p_id_fk name you provided might be not an actual column name in Batch table but rather the name of the foreign key constraint itself as it appears by the naming convention (_fk suffix).
I have the following SQL Table:
Name Description Id UserId CreatedDate
UserSet1 Desc1 1 Abc 06/01/2018
UserSet1 Desc2 2 Def 06/02/2018
UserSet2 Desc for 2 5 NewUser 06/04/2018
UserSet2 Desc for 2 7 NewUser 06/19/2018
What I want to extract from the above table is just the latest Id for each Name so that I could get the following output
Name Description Id UserId CreatedDate
UserSet1 Desc2 2 Def 06/01/2018
UserSet2 Desc for 2 7 NewUser 06/19/2018
Since Id 2 & 7 are the latest entries in the table for UserSet1 & UserSet2, I would like to display that instead of all the entries in the table.
Any inputs how can I get the desired result.
I am open for solutions directly returning the output or any linq (C#) solutions as well. Ie returning the entire dataset and then using linq to filter the above.
EDIT: Since you are looking for the highest number ID, the GROUP BY method would probably be easier to work with.
Using a window function:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT Name, Description, Id, UserId, CreatedDate
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Name ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC) AS rn
FROM myTable
) s1
WHERE rn = 1
I don't have an instance of dynamoDB to test on, but I believe it can use the ROW_NUMBER() window function.
Thanks everyone for pointing to right direction. I have got this working with the below code of Linq and C#:
var results = response.GroupBy(row => row.Name)
.SelectMany(g => g.OrderByDescending(row => row.Id).Take(1));
For the initial tests this seems to be working. Let me know if you think this has come issues.
This should be a general SQL answer:
SELECT * FROM yourtable Y1
WHERE Id = (SELECT MAX(Id)
FROM yourtable Y2
WHERE Y2.Name = Y1.Name)
If it was MS SQL you could use Partition By command, otherwise most performant way would be:
select * from Table
where Id in (
select Max(Id) from Table
Group By Name
)
not sure if you can leave Name out of the Select statement, you might need to do:
select * from Table
where Id in (
Select Id from
(select Name, Max(Id) as Id from Table
Group By Name)
)
I'm stuck on a task where I have to transform a Stored Procedure into a LINQ query.
The model:
AccountSet: Account table with columns 'AccountId', 'ParentAccountId' (references an 'AccountId') and 'Name'
ContactSet: Contact table with columns 'ParentCustomerId'
(references an Account via 'AccountId')
The Stored Procedure:
It should search for all accounts with the given id
Search all parents (recursive) for the accounts found in step 1
Fetch all contacts that have a ParentCustomerId matching an 'AccountId' found in step 2
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_GetContactsForCompany]
(
#projectid AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
)
AS WITH recursion ( AccountId, Name, ParentAccountId )
AS (
SELECT AccountId, Name, ParentAccountId
FROM dbo.AccountBase
WHERE AccountId = #projectid
UNION ALL
SELECT a.AccountId, a.Name, a.ParentAccountId
FROM dbo.AccountBase AS a
INNER JOIN recursion AS b ON a.ParentAccountId = b.AccountId
)
SELECT ContactId, FullName
FROM dbo.ContactBase
WHERE ParentCustomerId IN (
SELECT AccountId
FROM recursion
)
ORDER BY FullName
LINQ:
from a in allAccs
where a.AccountId == id
select a;
This gives me all the accounts with the given id. But now I have no idea how to apply the join and recursion.
Any hint would be great.
LAYOUT:
I have a Subscriber database with Subscriber info in a table, all with unique AccountID's.
I have multiple History databases with a History table in each, all pertaining to the AccountID's in the Subscriber database.
I NEED:
I need a list of the most recent History record entered, in any of the History databases, for each AccountID in the Subscriber data. 1 record per AccountID.
I can achieve this with multiple hits to the database, but there are potentially millions of records and that doesn't sit well in my head. I want to make this happen in one hit.
Help. Me. Thanks.
Here's something I have tried already, but it doesn't give me a single record per AccountID...
SELECT
MAIN.*,
ISNULL(SubData.Name, '') AS [Name],
ISNULL(SubData.AcctLineCode, '') AS AcctLineCode,
ISNULL(LTRIM(RTRIM(SubData.AcctNum)), '') AS AcctNum
FROM
(
SELECT AccountID, AlarmDate, AlarmCode FROM [History1113]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
UNION
SELECT AccountID, AlarmDate, AlarmCode FROM [History1013]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
UNION
SELECT AccountID, AlarmDate, AlarmCode FROM [History0913]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
)
AS MAIN
LEFT JOIN Subscriber..[Subscriber Data] AS SubData ON Main.AccountID = SubData.AccountID
ORDER BY AccountID, AlarmDate DESC
I'd do it as a view. Biggest issue will be making sure the view can see all the history tables if they are in seperate databases. You may have to get into linked servers
Create view historytable
as
select * from historytable1
union all
select * from historytable2
union all
etc...
Now query from historytable as if it was a table with all rows in it.
Edit:
the statement you've added has no aggregates, so it has no method of filtering down (or grouping by) into one record.
To your reply:
Lets call my view above main so I don't have to type so much.
Select account_id, max(alarm_date) as maxdate from main group by account_id
This simple select brings back to most recent record. Inner join it so it functions as a filter.
select ...
from main
inner join (Select account_id, max(alarm_date) as maxdate from main group by account_id) maxdate
on main.account_id = maxdate.account_ID and maxdate.maxdate = main.alarm_date
Add your subscriber join to the bottom of that and fill in the columns you need
With a little help from a couple of you, I was able to figure this out. So, thank you all.
Here's a code snippet of how I got it to work. I still need to do some joins to bring in account info, but this was the hard part.
`
SELECT MAIN.AccountID, MAX(MAIN.AlarmDate) AS AlarmDate FROM
(
SELECT AccountID, MAX(AlarmDate) AS AlarmDate FROM [History1113]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
GROUP BY AccountID
UNION
SELECT AccountID, MAX(AlarmDate) AS AlarmDate FROM [History1013]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
GROUP BY AccountID
UNION
SELECT AccountID, MAX(AlarmDate) AS AlarmDate FROM [History0913]..SignalHistory WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT DISTINCT AccountID FROM Subscriber..[Subscriber Data])
GROUP BY AccountID
)
AS MAIN
GROUP BY MAIN.AccountID

i am trying to show the last order for the a specific customer on a grid view , what i did is showing all orders for the customer but i need the last order
here is my SQL code
SELECT orders.order_id, orders.order_date,
orders.payment_type, orders.cardnumber, packages.Package_name,
orders.package_id, packages.package_price
FROM orders INNER JOIN packages ON orders.package_id = packages.Package_ID
WHERE (orders.username = #username )
#username get its value from a cookie , now how can i choose the last order only for a cookie value " Tony " for example ?
To generalize (and fix a little bit) Mitch's answer, you need to use SELECT clause embellished with TOP(#N) and ORDER BY ... DESC. Note that I use TOP(#N), not TOP N, which means you can pass it as an argument to the stored procedure and return, say, not 1 but N last orders:
CREATE STORED PROCEDURE ...
#N int
...
SELECT TOP(#N) ...
ORDER BY ... DESC
SELECT top 1
orders.order_id,
orders.order_date,
orders.payment_type,
orders.cardnumber,
packages.Package_name,
orders.package_id,
packages.package_price
FROM orders
INNER JOIN packages ON orders.package_id = packages.Package_ID
WHERE (orders.username = #username )
ORDER BY orders.order_date DESC
In fact assuming orders.order_id is an Identity column:
SELECT top 1
orders.order_id,
orders.order_date,
orders.payment_type,
orders.cardnumber,
packages.Package_name,
orders.package_id,
packages.package_price
FROM orders
INNER JOIN packages ON orders.package_id = packages.Package_ID
WHERE (orders.username = #username )
ORDER BY orders.order_id DESC
