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!!

    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.

    Based on this where clause:

     

    SELECT a.*

    FROM dbo.TX_CONST_CUST a

          JOIN dbo.VRS_CONSTITUENCY b ON a.constituency = b.id

    WHERE (getdate() >= (Coalesce(a.start_dt,'1900-01-01')) and getdate() <= (Coalesce(a.end_dt,'2999-12-31'))) or

          (getdate() >= (Coalesce(a.start_dt,'1900-01-01')) and (Coalesce(a.start_dt,'1900-01-1')) > (Coalesce(a.end_dt,'2999-12-31')))

     

     

    A row is active if the current date falls between the start and end dates OR the end date falls before the start date and the start date is earlier than the current date.

    Does anyone know what item in security controls the ability to view/close other user’s batches?  We have a ticket office assistant that cannot see all users batches, but other ticket office people can and we cannot tell where the difference is in security/permissions.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Penny,

    It's the Manager in Security, so if someone's userid is a Manager of a Group they can close any users batch who is part of that group.
