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!

Need Query Syntax

Asked by wsturdev in SQL Query Syntax

Tags: , ,

The best way to ask my question is to present an example:

I have a view called List_Of_Active_Combined_Respondents_With_Counts
It has columns and sample data as follows:
Respondent_Email             Name                 Password         Resondent_Type         Count_Of_Things
john.smith@blah.com         Smith, John       AAAAAAAAAA              B                                    3
jane.doe@blah.com           Doe, Jane          BBBBBBBBBB              B                                    2
jane.doe@blah.com           Doe, Jane          CCCCCCCCC              T                                    7
bob.johnson@blah.com     Johnson, Bob     DDDDDDDDD              T                                    1

There are never more than 2 record for the same email address, and if there are 2 records, one will be Respondent_Type B and the other will be Respondent_Type T.

I am using the following SQL Syntax:
SELECT Respondent_Email,
      SUBSTRING(Respondent_Name, CHARINDEX(',',Name) + 2, 1000) AS First_Name,
      SUBSTRING(Respondent_Name, 1,CHARINDEX(',',Name) -1) AS Last_Name,
      Password,
      Respondent_Type,
      Count_Of_Things
FROM List_Of_Active_Combined_Respondents_With_Counts

The results I get are:
john.smith@blah.com         John    Smith       AAAAAAAAAA              B                                    3
jane.doe@blah.com           Jane     Doe         BBBBBBBBBB              B                                    2
jane.doe@blah.com           Jane     Doe         CCCCCCCCC              T                                    7
bob.johnson@blah.com     Bob      Johnson   DDDDDDDDD              T                                    1

What I want is to get this:
john.smith@blah.com         John    Smith       AAAAAAAAAA              B                                    3
jane.doe@blah.com           Jane     Doe         BBBBBBBBBB              C                                    9
bob.johnson@blah.com     Bob      Johnson   DDDDDDDDD              T                                    1

I want only one record per email address.  If that record represents a source record "doublet", then it should contain the email address, the first and last names, EITHER of the 2 passwords (I do not care which), a "C" to indicate the result was derived from a combination of B and T records in the source, and Count_Of_Things should be the combined values of the 2 source records.

All records that are singlets in the source, should come into the results just as they do now.
