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!

Help with Building Query (MS Access 2007 / SQL)

Asked by shaf81 in SQL Query Syntax, Microsoft Access Database, MySQL Server

Tags: ,

Dear Experts,

Good day. I am looking for some assistance in building a query. I have a Access 2007 Database having a just one table, namely "CDR". The Field structure of the Table is as follows (3 Fields):

Terminator - Text
CountryCode  - Number
Duration - Number

This table will contain Data of call information terminated via multiple carriers and the durations. I am trying to write a query to calculate the percentage of connected calls which is less than 60 seconds for any given CountryCode and group it by the terminator.

Currently what I do is, write 2 separate queries as follows:

1) select terminator, count(duration) as dc from CDR where duration > 0 and CountryCode = 44 group by Terminator;
2) select terminator, count(duration) as dc from CDR where duration > 0 and duration < 60 and CountryCode = 44 group by Terminator;

Then I process both the queries at application level to calculate the precentage of calls less than 60 seconds (dropped calls) for each Terminator. My application output is something like:

Terminator Name / Total Connect Calls / Total Calls < 60 / Drop %
Terminator-1,  100, 45, 45%
Terminator-2, 250, 100,  40%
Terminator-2, 562, 62, 11.03%

Now, what I would like to do is, rather than having 2 queries and processing the drop percentage at application level, I would like to know if there is a way to combine both of these queries and get a similar output in one go - which would allow me to move away the calculations from application level to database level.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
