Query Syntax Help & Support | Experts Exchange

I had this question after viewing Filter sql on date and time.

I am querying data that is stored to a table every 10 seconds.

I have a working query statement that returns all "Cost_per_1000" records that are less than two years old:

Select t_stamp, Cost_per_1000 From std_10_Sec
WHERE t_stamp > (DATEADD(YY,-2,GETDATE()))

Open in new window

Unfortunately, this query results in >6,000,000 rows returned. I need to reduce each hour of Cost_per_1000 data to a single row, ignoring any NULL or 0-value rows in the process.

An example of the returned t_stamp data looks like: "2019-03-13 03:41:32.487"

Linq Query Group By City, and Then Person

Hi Experts!

Need help with the following linq query:

Hi,
This sql works
With CTE as (select Seq from DocumentInfo_DocType where Department like CONCAT('%',<Department2>, '%'))select Document_Type from DocumentInfo_DocType d inner join CTE on d.seq = CTE.seq and Document_Type is not null order by Document_Type

I was asked to change it so that if a user leaves the Department2 field blank on the form the query will check for the null and if null, set it to use the value of "Universal" as the Department2.

My try with inserting the Case statement is below but it will not work. What am I doing wrong?

With CTE as (select Seq from DocumentInfo_DocType where Department like CONCAT('%',(case when (<Department2> is null) then 'Universal' else <Department2> end), '%') select Document_Type from DocumentInfo_DocType d inner join CTE on d.seq = CTE.seq and Document_Type is not null order by Document_Type

I need to update or insert data into a field without removing the existing data that is already in the field. Need to add the data after a line feed or carriage return. The example below shows what I wish to do. Add Note: FMV: $12588 after any existing data already there.

Is there a dynamic way to get the Monday of every week regardless of what day you execute a query?

What I am trying to do is get a range of time to always give me Monday of every week and go back 4 weeks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this now in my where clause for a date

between DATE_SUB((current_date() - INTERVAL WEEKDAY(NOW()) + 2 DAY), INTERVAL 27 DAY) and current_date() - INTERVAL WEEKDAY(NOW()) + 2 DAY

Open in new window

However, I know that there is a better way to do this because if I run this tomorrow it will be off.

I have a Access table (tblExcelProductivity) that includes FullName, FieldOffice, Mnth , and Goal. I would like to use an update query to update the Maximum Goal number with 0 for each like record based on FullName, FieldOffice and Mnth. For example below, Mary has 2 records in Arlington in the month of DEC with Goals of 45 and 67.2. In this case 0 would be updated 67.2 the max for the 2 records.

Hi:

If you have a SQL view in Excel and if the Excel spreadsheet is the data source for Power BI, is it possible to refresh the dataset without having to refresh the actual spreadsheet and if so how?

I have two fields I want to update using CASE WHEN Syntax.
The fields are PipUPC and TUPC. I don't know how to set the fields with the ELSE END syntax using the CASE WHEN.
Essentially what I need is:
1) check the PipUPC and if it is null, update update with the List_UPC value from ActionList2020 table ELSE keep the current value in the cell.
2)Check the TUPC and if null, update with the List_UPC value from ActionList2020 table ELSE current value of the in the cell.

Update
.[dbo].[UpdateProcessSales] 

Set PipUPC=
(

CASE WHEN PipUPC is NULL then t2.List_UPC,
 WHEN TUPC is NULL then UPC=t2.List_UPC
ELSE END,
)
from
[dbo].[UpdateProcessSales] t1
inner join
[dbo].[ActionLIst2020] t2
on t1.PNumber=t2.Price_Code

Hello Experts,

I know this is just simple to experts but I am struggling to figure this out.

I want to get the @EndDate if the report will run any @TodayDate between First Date and Last Date of any quarters and default @EndDate to "Last Date of any quarters."

@BeginDate will default to Beginning of Year.

Example 1:
Today's Date = 02/20/2020
First Day -1st Quarter = 1/1/2020
Last Day -1st Quarter = 3/31/2020
@Begin Date = 1/1/2020
@EndDate = 3/31/2020

Example 2:
Today's Date = 04/05/2020
First Day – 2nd Quarter = 4/1/2020
Last Day - 2nd Quarter = 6/30/2020
@Begin Date = 1/1/2020
@EndDate = 6/30/2020

Example 3:
Today's Date = 09/25/2020
First Day – 3rd Quarter = 7/1/2020
Last Day - 3rd Quarter = 9/30/2020
@Begin Date = 1/1/2020
@EndDate = 9/30/2020

Example 4:
Today's Date = 10/10/2020
First Day - 4th Quarter = 10/1/2020
Last Day - 4th Quarter = 12/31/2020
@Begin Date = 1/1/2020
@EndDate = 12/31/2020

Date Variables:
Declare @TodayDate Date
Set @TodayDate = getdate()
Declare @FirstDayOf1stQtrCurrentYr
Set @FirstDayOf1stQtrCurrentYr = DATEADD(Q,0,DATEADD(YY,DATEDIFF(YY,0,@TodayDate),0))

Hello, all.

OK, working with SQL Server 2019, and it works wonderfully with accented characters.

Dvořák Hall

It displays to the page just fine.
However, when I try to read from a URL QueryString, it's not working.
I get

Dvo

Instead of the full name.

I have at the top of my main page.

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<%
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
%>

Open in new window

But it still will not get the URL: /Page/Dvořák_Hall
And display it correctly to the page, to use against the database query.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Please see https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29173210/SSRS-sort-on-datediff.html

Is there also a way to do a plain sql query (not ssrs)which puts the date diff in a separate (new) column and shows it it days,hours,minutes?

i'm using sql server 2019.

This is the script to create the table.

USE [TestDatabase]

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmployeesReport](

GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmployeesReport] ([EmployeeID], [LastName], [FirstName]) VALUES (9, N'Dodsworth', N'Anne')
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[EmployeesReport] OFF

Open in new window

So far i have this query:

DECLARE @IsCurrentMonth VARCHAR(100), @LastName VARCHAR(100), @FirstName VARCHAR(100)
SET @LastName = 'Fuller'
SET @FirstName = 'Laura'
SET @IsCurrentMonth = 'Yes'

SELECT [EmployeeID]
      ,[LastName]
      ,[FirstName]
FROM [TestDatabase].[dbo].[EmployeesReport]

Open in new window

for the WHERE clause I want to use an CASE statement or if else statement.

What i need is the following,

if the parameter called @IsCurrentMonth equals 'Yes' i want the where clause to look like this. Filter by LastName.

-- if @IsCurrentMonth equals Yes use this where clause
WHERE [LastName] = @LastName

if the parameter called @IsCurrentMonth equals 'No' i want to the where clause to look like this. Filter by FirstName.

-- if @IsCurrentMonth equals No use this where clause
WHERE [FirstName] = @FirstName

I know I can just put the whole query inside an if statement, but I know what to apply the CASE statement to the WHERE clause.

What's the best syntax for this?

Filter table report according to last entry in related table.

Hi Experts,

We have a report based on Nurses table.

Then we have a table named Skilled_nursing_Visit_Notes (Nurse_Table.Nurse_UserName = Skilled_Nursing_Visit_note.Nurse_User_ID_num_SNV) where nurses enter visits and notes for patients.

Under each visit note there is a column named Browser which auto saves the browser version used for that entry.
We also have a calculated field (formula) in the Skilled_nursing_Visit_Notes table named OutdatedBrowser set as follows.

case when ([@field:Browser] like 'Chrome%' and [@field:Browser]>='Chrome 78.0') or ([@field:Browser] like 'Safari%' and CAST((Right([@field:Browser],(Len([@field:Browser])-Charindex(' ', [@field:Browser], 0)))) as FLOAT) >= 13) or ([@field:Browser] like 'Firefox%' and [@field:Browser]>='Firefox 71.0') or ([@field:Browser] like 'InternetExplorer%' and [@field:Browser]>='InternetExplorer 11.0') then 'No' Else 'Yes' end

Open in new window

Now we would like to add to the nurses report the following.

1- Ability to filter for nurses with Outdated browser (According to latest entry in Skilled_Nursing_Visit_Notes table determined by Date_Signed field which is a timestamp field).
2- View on the report the browser field.

Thanks
