A query in AdventureWorks2012

Hi,
i have faced with a problem when i was working on a query in AddentureWorks2012 db
the query is as a follow :
show the name of product next to its sum(OrderQty) in each years
LIKE:      Year          |    Name   | Quantity
              2005                 x1            90
              2005                 x2            120
             2006                 x1
100
             2006                 x2
40
that would be your kindness, if you answer my question; Thanks

Sounds like this to me
SELECT Name,[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],..
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER (PARTITION BY Name ORDER BY Year) AS Seq,Name,Year,Quantity
FROM Table
)t
PIVOT (SUM(Quantity) FOR Seq IN ([1],[2],[3],[4],..))p
If you want to make it dynamic based on available years

Failing to import data using SQL query

I am trying to import data from a sql query to analysis service in SSDT. i went to model > import from data source >Microsoft SQL Server and i chose from query. I typed my query which works fin in SSMS and when i press import if gives me a error. what
is going on please help here is the error
DirectQuery error: All tables used when querying in DirectQuery Mode must be from a single relational Data Source.
here is my query:

Hi,
When importing data from relational data source, the steps are:
In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), click the Model menu, and then click Import
from Data Source.
On the Connect to a Data Source page, select the type of database to connect to, and then click Next.
Follow the steps in the Table Import Wizard. On subsequent pages, you will be able to select specific tables and views or apply filters by using the Select
Tables and Views page or by creating a SQL query on Specify a SQL Query page.
As we can see on the steps, we need to select one database, so we needn't to write "USE AdventureWorks2012" on the query.

Show 2 different tables in same matrix

I am using a Matrix report format in SSRS report builder, I only have one dataset to pull Invoice Date and Applied Date to show November, December (Monthly) amounts as column format and by Region (such as Americas, APAC, EMEA, Japan, Korea).
However, the Matrix format cannot be displayed as below format (Month as the column, Region as the row). In addition, I need to pull Quarterly field (as column) in the same grid (matrix format).
Regarding the Applied Date I used in this dataset, I do have a condiction in SQL script since I need to compare with today's day. (Applied Date < Get(Date))
How I can do that? Appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks,
Josey

Where did the securables go? Created Databse Role add Securables and Permission but it disappeared.

Hello my friends:
Create a Database Role, added Securables and set the Permissions. These are all stored Procedures.
When I clicked Okay I get a message that the role was created successfully.
Now I go back to the database role, click properties and the securables are not showing?
Is this normal behavior? Where did they go?
Thanks!

I have sufficient rights: The DB Role is working because Users who I have assigned the Role Are able to do what they need. I just cannot see the securables when I go to properties. I also have a SYS Admin account, I log in as SYS Admin and still cannot see
the securables.
However, if I click on an individual user who is assigned to the role, I can see the securables from the properties tab.
Hi,
First check that you can see the role using a query:
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
CREATE ROLE ArielyRole322
GO
Select * from sys.database_principals where name = 'ArielyRole322' and type = 'R'
GO
and now you can use the GUI interface as well:
open the database -> security -> Roles -> Database Roles -> and here it is :-)

Outputing Total Numbers of Rows Returned in query using a CTE

The query below is not being parsed by SQL Server and I can understand that the column name needs to be aliased which I have equally done. The idea behind the query is to output the count of rows using a CTE.
USE AdventureWorks2012
DECLARE @TotalRows INT = 0 -- OUTPUT
WITH Invoice AS (
SELECT @TotalRows = COUNT(CustomerID)
, SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE OrderDate = '2007/07/01'
GROUP BY SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
SELECT c.CustomerID
, Invoice.SalesOrderID
, Invoice.OrderDate
FROM Sales.Customer AS c
INNER JOIN Invoice
ON c.CustomerID = Invoice.CustomerID
ORDER BY Invoice.OrderDate DESC;
How do I modify the query to produce the desired retult?
Thank you.
Zionlite

Zionlite,
check this>?
DECLARE @TotalRows INT = 0 -- OUTPUT
;WITH Invoice AS
SELECT COUNT(CustomerID) over()
as customer_count
, SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE OrderDate = '2001/07/01'
GROUP BY SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
SELECT c.CustomerID
, Invoice.SalesOrderID
, Invoice.OrderDate
, customer_count
FROM Invoice
LEFT JOIN Sales.Customer AS c
ON c.CustomerID = Invoice.CustomerID
ORDER BY Invoice.OrderDate DESC;
So the above query, gives you the rows_count as a seprate column itself. Now you may use this to update the variable by pushing the results to a temp table and selecting the column value.
Method 2:
Another method can be using the rowcount method..
DECLARE @TotalRows INT = 0 -- OUTPUT
;WITH Invoice AS
SELECT SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE OrderDate = '2001/07/01'
GROUP BY SalesOrderID
, CustomerID
, OrderDate
SELECT c.CustomerID
, Invoice.SalesOrderID
, Invoice.OrderDate
FROM Invoice
LEFT JOIN Sales.Customer AS c
ON c.CustomerID = Invoice.CustomerID
ORDER BY Invoice.OrderDate DESC;
select @totalrows=@@rowcount
select @TotalRows
Thanks,
Jay

Is this Join Query Syntax Correct???

Is this syntax correct for this query question? Would "used Vista cards" reflect the OrderDate Column in the where clause. The table is from Adventureworks2012.
How many Sales Orders (Headers) used Vista credit cards in October 2002
SELECT C.CardType, COUNT(*)
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader S
JOIN Sales.CreditCard
C
ON S.CreditCardID=c.CreditCardID
WHERE C.CardType = 'Vista'
AND S.OrderDate between '10/1/2002' and '10/31/2002'
GROUP BY c.CardType

That is correct, but be careful when writing queries where a datetime column is compared to a period of time. In this case it looks like the time portions of OrderDate are all set to the beginning of day (00:00:00.000) so your query works as long as
that assumption is correct. The better way is to use an upper boundary of the next day (which means you cannot use between). E.g.,
select ... where S.OrderDate >= '20021001' and S.OrderDate < '20021101'
group by ...
order by ...;
If you search for the forum for "Tibor" you should be able to find a link to his website where he goes into much more detail about the tricky usage of the datetime datatype.

To Get List of Tables from Database which has the data 'AAAA' - T-SQL Query

Hi,
I have a database "Adventureworks", I need to get list of tables, which has the data 'AAAA' in their rows.
Is there any optimised or simple way to do this task?
Any T-SQL Query Available
--- Thanks in advance..

You can refer the same below URL provided by Praveen:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/c0c57332-8624-48c0-b4c3-5b31fe641c58
It has the SQL SP - "SP_SearchTables". You can pass parameters the way you want and get the expected output.
-- Search for 'bike' instead of 'AAAA'
Use AdventureWorks2012
EXEC SP_SearchTables @Tablenames = '%', @SearchStr = '%bike%'

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!

Logical database in adhoc query

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me what is the logical database in adhoc query?

Hi
When you create a query , you have to select an infoset. Infoset can be considered as a source from which data is populated in the Query Fields.
Infosets are created from Transaction SQ02.
There can be four methods through which an Infoset can become a source of data:
1. Table join ( By joining two or more tables from Data dictionary)
example: Joining tables PA0001 and PA0006 on Pernr to get a one resultant dataset
2. Direct read of Basis Table ( Like PA0001 as a source for data in Infoset )
3. Logical Database ( A Pre-written Program by SAP that extract data from clusters, tables taking care of authorizations and validity periods)
Example : Logical database PNP, PNPCE (Concurrent Employement),PCH ( LDB for Personnel Development Data)
Custom Logical DBs can be created in T_Code SE-36.
4. Data Retrieval by a Program ( Custom code written by ABAP developers which will collect and process data) . This program has a corresponding Structure in data dictionary and the fields of this structure will be used in query)
Reward Points, if helpful.

Hi Dalen ,
I believe it is because of the condition
(D1.BaseType=22 AND D1.DocDate>='%0' AND D1.DocDate<='%1')
OR (I1.BaseType=20 AND I1.BaseEntry IN
(SELECT Distinct DocEntry FROM PDN1 WHERE PDN1.BaseType=22 AND DocDate>='%0' AND DocDate<='%1'))
Try changing
D1.BaseType=22 OR D1.DocDate>='%0' AND D1.DocDate<='%1
PDN1.BaseType=22 OR DocDate>='%0' AND DocDate<='%1'))
Lets see what would be the result . Lets have some fun with troubleshooting
See what would be the difference in the result .
Thank you

Can you check for data in one table or another but not both in one query?

I have a situation where I need to link two tables together but the data may be in another (archive) table or different records are in both but I want the latest record from either table:
ACCOUNT
AccountID     Name
123               John Doe
124               Jane Donaldson
125               Harold Douglas
MARKETER_ACCOUNT
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1001     123               10526          8/3/2008     9/27/2009
1017     123               10987          9/28/2009     12/31/4712    (high date ~ which means currently with this marketer)
1023     124               10541          12/03/2010     12/31/4712
ARCHIVE
Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
1015     124               10526          8/3/2008     12/02/2010
1033     125               10987         01/01/2011     01/31/2012
So my query needs to return the following:
123     John Doe                        10526     8/3/2008     9/27/2009
124     Jane Donaldson             10541     12/03/2010     12/31/4712     (this is the later of the two records for this account between archive and marketer_account tables)
125     Harold Douglas               10987          01/01/2011     01/31/2012     (he is only in archive, so get this record)
I'm unsure how to proceed in one query. Note that I am reading in possibly multiple accounts at a time and returning a collection back to .net
open CURSOR_ACCT
          select AccountID
          from
                 ACCOUNT A,
                 MARKETER_ACCOUNT M,
                 ARCHIVE R
           where A.AccountID = nvl((select max(M.EndDate) from Marketer_account M2
                                                where M2.AccountID = A.AccountID),
                                                  (select max(R.EndDate) from Archive R2
                                                where R2.AccountID = A.AccountID)
               and upper(A.Name) like parameter || '%'
<can you do a NVL like this?   probably not...   I want to be able to get the MAX record for that account off the MarketerACcount table OR the max record for that account off the Archive table, but not both>
(parameter could be "DO", so I return all names starting with DO...)

if I understand your description I would assume that for John Dow we would expect the second row from marketer_account ("high date ~ which means currently with this marketer"). Here is a solution with analytic functions:
drop table account;
drop table marketer_account;
drop table marketer_account_archive;
create table account (
    id number
, name varchar2(20)
insert into account values (123, 'John Doe');
insert into account values (124, 'Jane Donaldson');
insert into account values (125, 'Harold Douglas');
create table marketer_account (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account values (1001, 123, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('27.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1017, 123, 10987, to_date('28.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account values (1023, 124, 10541, to_date('03.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
create table marketer_account_archive (
    key number
, AccountId number
, MktKey number
, FromDt date
, ToDate date
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1015, 124, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('02.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
insert into marketer_account_archive values (1033, 125, 10987, to_date('01.01.2011', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.01.2012', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account
union all
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
from marketer_account_archive;
with
basedata as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
from marketer_account
union all
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
from marketer_account_archive
basedata_with_max_intervals as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
     , row_number() over(partition by AccountId order by FromDt desc) FromDt_Rank
from basedata
filtered_basedata as (
select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate from basedata_with_max_intervals where FromDt_Rank = 1
select a.id
     , a.name
     , b.MktKey
     , b.FromDt
     , b.ToDate
from account a
join filtered_basedata b
    on (a.id = b.AccountId)
ID NAME                     MKTKEY FROMDT     TODATE
123 John Doe                  10987 28.09.2009 31.12.4712
124 Jane Donaldson            10541 03.12.2010 31.12.4712
125 Harold Douglas            10987 01.01.2011 31.01.2012
If your tables are big it could be necessary to do the filtering (according to your condition) in an early step (the first CTE).

Query help : Query to get values SYSDATE-1 18:00 hrs to SYSDATE 08:00 hrs

Hi Team
I want the SQl query to get the data for the following comparison : -
Order Created is a Date Column , and i want to find out all the values from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 08:00 hours
i.e.
(SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 08:00:00.
Regards

If i want the data in the below way i.e.
from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 17:59 hours ---> (SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 07:59:00.If you want to include rows from exactly 18:00:00 yesterday (but no earlier), and exclude rows from exatly 08:00:00 today (or later), then use:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt >= TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
AND     ord_dtl.submit_dt < TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
So can i use the below format : -
ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN trunc(sysdate)-(6/24) and trunc(sysdate)+(7.59/24) . Please suggest . .59 hours is .59 * 60 * 60 = 2124 seconds (or .59 * 60 = 35.4 minutes), so the last time included in the range above is 07:35:24, not 07:59:59.
If you really, really want to use BETWEEN (which includes both end points), then you could do it with date arithmentic:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
                                           - (1 / (24 * 60 * 60))but it would be simpler and less error prone to use INTERVALs, as Karthick suggested earlier:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN TRUNC (SYSDATE) - INTERVAL '6' HOUR
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + INTERVAL '8' HOUR
                                           - INTERVAL '1' SECONDEdited by: Frank Kulash on Apr 17, 2013 9:36 AM

Query help, subtract two query parts

Hi,
I am beginner of PL/SQL and have a problem I couldn’t solve:
Table (op_list):
Item     -     Amount -     Status
Item1     -     10     -     in
Item2     -     12     -     in
Item3     -     7     -     in
Item1     -     2     -     out
Item2     -     3     -     out
Item1     -     1     -     dmg
Item3     -     3     -     out
Item1     -     2     -     out
Item2     -     5     -     out
Item2     -     2     -     in
Item3     -     1     -     exp
Would like to get result of query (subtract amount of 'out/dmg/exp' from 'in' ):
Item - Amount left
Item1     -     5
Item2     -     6
Item3 -     3
I wrote code that returns sum of all incoming items and sum all out/dmg/exp items, but couldn’t solve how to subtract one part of querry from another. Or maybe there is a better way. Also worried what happens if there is no 'out/dmg/exp' only 'in'
select item.name, sum(op_list.item_amount)
from op_list
inner join item
on op_list.item = item.item_id
where op_list.status = 'in'
group by item.name
union
select item.name, sum(op_list.item_amount)
from op_list
inner join item
on op_list.item = item.item_id
where op_list.status = 'out'
or op_list.status = 'dmg'
or op_list.status = 'exp'
group by item.name
Return:
Item1     -     10      [10 in]
Item1     -     5     [2+1+2]
Item2     -     14     [12+2]
Item3     -     7
Item3     -     4     [3+1]
Thanks in advance

Hi,
We can also use simple inline views to get what we need.
select a.item,a.amount-b.amount Balance from
(select item,sum(amount) Amount from op_list
where status = 'in'
group by item) a,
(select item,sum(amount) Amount from op_list
where status in ('out','dmg','exp')
group by item) b
where
a.item=b.item
order by item;
ITEM       BALANCE
Item1                      5
Item2                      6
Item3                      3Regards,
Prazy

Query help: query to return column that represents multiple rows

I have a table with a name and location column. The same name can occur multiple times with any arbitrary location, i.e. duplicates are allowed.
I need a query to find all names that occur in both of two separate locations.
For example,
bob usa
bob mexico
dot mexico
dot europe
hal usa
hal europe
sal usa
sal mexico
The query in question, if given the locations usa and mexico, would return bob and sal.
Thanks for any help or advice,
-=beeky

How about this?
SELECT NAME
FROM    <LOCATIONS_TABLE>
WHERE   LOCATION IN ('usa','mexico')
GROUP BY NAME
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT LOCATION) >= 2Results:
SQL> WITH person_locations AS
