bit of a Friday moment with some SQL

Christopher Hill
$organization



Hia all

 

I am having a bit of a Friday moment with some SQL and am hoping someone can show me the light…??

I am sure its very basic – but the finer details are some what eluding me today…

 

I have this script equivalent…

 

            Select

                        B.Description

                        Count(B.Description)

                        Sum(A.Amount)

            From

                        Table1 A

                        Join Table2 B on (A.id = B.id)

 

Where table A has one to many records of table B.

 

This runs fine, but what I am seeing is an incorrect Sum amount due to this one to many association between the two tables.

i.e. if an ID from Table A has £5 in the Amount column, and the same ID exists on 4 records on Table B – my sum result is coming back at £20, I only want a distinct £5.

 

My initial thought was to do something like putting Distinct in front of the A.Amount (Sum(Distinct A.Amount)) within the aggregate, but this groups by the money values, and not the ID…

 

I hope that makes sense to someone out there?!

Many thanks in advance!!

    I  am trying to write a custom procedure and I know my question can easily be answered by some of you SQL gurus out there…

     

    Here is the code I have so far:

     

    select  cc.customer_no, cc.constituency, ct.description, ct.short_desc,

    c.fname, c.lname, st.department, st.title, st.hire_date, st.end_date, st.status

    from tx_const_cust cc

    join t_customer c

    on c.customer_no = cc.customer_no

    join tr_constituency ct

    on ct.id = cc.constituency

    join lt_MCFTA_STAFF st

    on st.customer_no = c.customer_no

    where cc.constituency in (48,49,50)

    and st.status = 'Active'

    order by c.lname

     

     

    I want to add in a CASE statement, so that the code pulls fname and lname when the n1n2_ind = 1, but pulls fname2 and lname2 instead, when the n1n2_ind = 2.  I am guessing I need something like the below, but am not sure how to format and where to insert the new code into the above statement:

     

    CASE c.fname, c.lname

    Where cc.n1n2_ind = 1

     

    ELSE c.fname2. c.lname2

    Where cc.n1n2_ind = 2

     

    Thanks in advance for help!

    Penny -

    Try this on for size:

    select  cc.customer_no, cc.constituency, ct.description, ct.short_desc,

    c.fname, c.lname, st.department, st.title, st.hire_date, st.end_date, st.status,

    CASE WHEN cc.n1n2_ind = 2 THEN 

    c.fname2 +', ' + c.lname2

    ELSE c.fname +', ' + c.lname

    END as full_name

    from tx_const_cust cc

    join t_customer c

    on c.customer_no = cc.customer_no

    join tr_constituency ct

    on ct.id = cc.constituency

    join lt_MCFTA_STAFF st

    on st.customer_no = c.customer_no

    where cc.constituency in (48,49,50)

    and st.status = 'Active'

    order by c.lname

    Case when cc.n1n2_ind = 2 then c.lname Else c.lname2 end as LName

     

     

    You also have an n1n2_ind of 3, what do you want to do in those cases?

    Thanks David.  I gave that a shot, and it works great as long as all you need are the fields from the stored procedure.  However, I wanted to create a staff directory with photos, so I needed to add the computed field for the bitmap image.  The N-up report turns your field names into customer_no_1, customer_no_2, customer_no_3 when you select 3 columns, and you would think that using customer_no_1 in the bitmap expression would work fine, but it does not – it generates an invalid expression error, and I could find no way around it.  So, I ended up creating labels instead, which worked great, but I don’t think it will let me add a header to the first page…it’s fine for now, and I suspect that Report Services might do a better job of this report once we get going in SSRS.

     

    Thanks again,

    Does anyone know if you can create a multi-column report in Infomaker?  For example, I have created a custom staff directory report that shows one person at a time, horizontally down the page.  I was wondering if it is possible to have 3 columns going across the page so we can see 3 staff people at a time?

    In case anyone needs it, I DID just figure out how to get computed fields to work in an N-Up report.  For my bitmap picture of our staff, I had to enter:

    bitmap("\\mcftaapps\apps\Tessitura\Staff_Photos\"+ (customer_no[0])+".BMP"), bitmap("\\mcftaapps\apps\Tessitura\Staff_Photos\"+ (customer_no[1])+".BMP") and bitmap("\\mcftaapps\apps\Tessitura\Staff_Photos\"+ (customer_no[2])+".BMP") for my three computed field expressions.  The numbers in parenthesis designates the data from which of my three columns the field should use.

    Penny,

    I don't think this is kept in a table, It is calculated based on the end_dt which is stored in tx_const_cust.  For easier use you can also see only active constituencies in the view vxs_const_cust.

    Does anyone know what table contains the “Inactive” field that displays on the Constituencies screen?  It is not located in the tx_const_cust table as I expected.  We have constituencies for our staff levels, and when staff changes from one level to another, they end up with multiple constituency entries, so  I need to be able to report on the constituencies that are not inactive.

    Penny,

    I don't think this is kept in a table, It is calculated based on the end_dt which is stored in tx_const_cust.  For easier use you can also see only active constituencies in the view vxs_const_cust.

    Does anyone know what table contains the “Inactive” field that displays on the Constituencies screen?  It is not located in the tx_const_cust table as I expected.  We have constituencies for our staff levels, and when staff changes from one level to another, they end up with multiple constituency entries, so  I need to be able to report on the constituencies that are not inactive.
