The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

For Loop in T-SQL?

Asked by seahawk9 in MS SQL Server

Tags: loop

I am trying to write a new stored proc based off an exisiting one that counted the number of ads placed and inserted the data into a table. But now I want to break it down by class, so I am wondering if there is such a thing as a For Loop in T-SQL. (I am usually an ASP programmer and only put on the db hat when needed).
So here is the existing Stored Proc:
      declare
            @PAID int,
            @FREE int

            select @FREE = count(*)
            from submitqueue
            where cost = 0
                  and processstatus not in (4,5,6)
      
            select @PAID = count(*)
            from submitqueue
            where cost > 0
                  and processstatus not in (4,5,6)
      
            BEGIN
                  /* INSERT FREE AD STATS */
                  insert into ADCOUNTS (
                        DATE,
                        COUNT,
                        TYPE
                  )
                  values (
                        getdate(),
                        @FREE,
                        'FREE'
                  )
                  /* INSERT PAID AD STATS */
                  insert into ADCOUNTS (
                        DATE,
                        COUNT,
                        TYPE
                  )
                  values (
                        getdate(),
                        @PAID,
                        'PAID'
                  )            
                                END
 

I have created the new table called ADCOUNTSBYCLASS and it is the same makeup of ADCOUNTS except it had a new field called CLASS. Our classes go from 10 to 350 and have an increment of 10. So I need to do something like:

      declare
            @PAID int,
            @FREE int
                                @CLASS int

                                For @CLASS = 10 to 350 step 10
            select @FREE = count(*)
            from submitqueue
                      where cost = 0
            and processstatus not in (4,5,6)
                                and class = @CLASS
      
            select @PAID = count(*)
            from submitqueue
            where cost > 0
            and processstatus not in (4,5,6)
                                and class = @CLASS

      
            BEGIN
                  /* INSERT FREE AD STATS */
                  insert into ADCOUNTSBYCLASS (
                        DATE,
                        CLASS,
                        COUNT,
                        TYPE
                  )
                  values (
                        getdate(),
                        @CLASS,
                        @FREE,
                        'FREE'
                  )
                  /* INSERT PAID AD STATS */
                  insert into ADCOUNTSBYCLASS (
                        DATE,
                        CLASS,
                        COUNT,
                        TYPE
                  )
                  values (
                        getdate(),
                        @CLASS
                        @PAID,
                        'PAID'
                                            NEXT
    END

Can you do something like this in T-SQL? Or do I have to hardcode each instance of class?
