Finding first and last members of a group set

Is there any example how to use 'first' and 'last' functions in an sql query ?
I have tried to execute a query like this on the scott.emp table :
select deptno,min(sal),max(sal),first(sal) from emp group by deptno;
but I always get this message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "FIRST": invalid identifier
btw I use Oracle RDBMS ver 9.1.0.3 for Solaris in my server.

Syarif,
The FIRST and LAST functions, which became available with 9i, are used to find the first or last member of a ranked set. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I can show you a query that should work (I don't have 9i handy at the moment). This query should give you the departments with the highest (first) and lowest (last) aggregate salaries:
select deptno,
min(deptno)
keep (dense_rank first order by sum(sal) desc) highest_sal,
min(deptno)
keep (dense_rank last order by sum(sal) desc) lowest_sal
from emp
group by deptno

Query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range

Hi,
query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
according to filter:
mobile_no : 989.....
call_date_from : 25-april-2013
call_date_to : 26-april-2013
Please help

Hi,
It sounds like you want a Top-N Query , something like this:
WITH got_nums AS
 SELECT table_x.* -- or list columns wanted
 , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date ) AS a_num
 , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date DESC) AS d_num
 FROM table_x
 WHERE mobile_no = 989
 AND call_date >= DATE '2013-04-25'
 AND call_date < DATE '2013-04-26' + 1
SELECT * -- or list all columns except a_num and d_num
FROM got_nums
WHERE 1 IN (a_num, d_num)

How to find first and last day of last month?.

Hello,
I am using Crystal Report XI.
Reports will be generated on first of every month for
previous month. I want to find start and end date of previous month
dynamic.
For august, Start date is July 1st and End date July 31st.
For September, start date is Aug 1st and Aug 31st.
How can i get first of previous month as start date and last
day of the previous month as end date?.
Same kind of thing I want to do for future report ..find next
month start date and end date.
Thanks

Adomacro,
you could do a function, like this
<cffunction name="getReportdates" returntype="struct"
hint="Given an arbitrary month and year, the function returns a
structure containing the first and last day of the previous
month">

<cfargument name="mnth" type="string" required="No"
default="#monthAsString(month(now()))#">
<cfargument name="yr" type="numeric" required="No"
default="#year(now())#">
<cfset firstDayOfGivenMonth = parseDateTime("1 " &
arguments.mnth & " #arguments.yr#")>
<cfset lastDayOfPreviousMonth =
dateAdd("d",-1,firstDayOfGivenMonth)>
<cfset numberOfDaysOfPreviousMonth =
daysInMonth(lastDayOfPreviousMonth)>
<cfset firstDayOfPreviousMonth =
dateAdd("d",-#numberOfDaysOfPreviousMonth#,firstDayOfGivenMonth)>
<cfset reportDates = structNew()>
<cfset reportDates.firstDayOfPreviousMonth =
firstDayOfPreviousMonth>
<cfset reportDates.lastDayOfPreviousMonth =
lastDayOfPreviousMonth>
<cfreturn reportDates>
</cffunction>


Given month: March
2004 
begin date:
<cfoutput>#dateFormat(getReportdates('March',2004).firstDayOfPreviousMonth,"d
mmm yyyy")#</cfoutput> 
end date:
<cfoutput>#dateFormat(getReportdates('March',2004).lastDayOfPreviousMonth,"d
mmm yyyy")#</cfoutput> 


Given month: August
2007 
begin date:
<cfoutput>#dateFormat(getReportdates('August',2007).firstDayOfPreviousMonth,"d
mmm yyyy")#</cfoutput> 
end date:
<cfoutput>#dateFormat(getReportdates('August',2007).lastDayOfPreviousMonth,"d

Edited by: davide gislon on 08-Jan-2009 07:19Your query does nothing you say it does. TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') returns first day of the current month for year &year. And the only reason it returns January 1, &year is that we are currently in January:
SQL> select TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') from dual
2 /
Enter value for year: 2005

How to find first and last day of previous month?.

Based on current month, I want to find start and end day of
previous month.
For example,
For august, Start date is July 1st and End date July 31st.
How can i get first of previous month as start date and last
day of the previous month as end date?.
Same way,
i want to find start date of current month and end date of
next month.
Example:
For august,
i want to get start date, august 1st and end date : september
30.
How can i do this from current date or now().
I am looking for best and easy way to find start and end
dates..
Thanks

<cfset today = now()>
<cfset firstOfThisMonth = createDate(year(today),
month(today), 1)>
<cfset lastOfNextMonth = dateAdd("d", -1, dateAdd("m", 2,
firstOfThisMonth))>
<cfoutput>
today = #today# 
firstOfThisMonth = #firstOfThisMonth# 
lastOfNextMonth = #lastOfNextMonth# 
</cfoutput>
Edit - To find the start and end day of previous month, get
the first of THIS month. Use Subtract 1 month ("m") to get the
start date. Subtract 1 day ("d") to get the end date.

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

Select first and last records in grouped results - Oracle 11g

Say I have the following information in an Oracle 11g table:

12-JAN-14 00:02

I would like to write a query that would return the following:
Qty
Production order
First
Last

00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02

00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:11
14-JAN-14 00:29
That is, the sum of the Qty column grouped by Production order, and the date/time of the first and last records for each Production order.
I came up with a query that yielded this result:
Qty
Production order
First
Last
80
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
120
00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
Which means that the First and Last columns show the overall first and last date / time of the whole table. Please note that this is a dummy table. Sorry I am now allowed to write the actual query
I came up with since work policies do not allow me to share it. Also, I tried with windowing functions such as rank()and row_number() but my user does not have enough privileges to do so.
Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated.

Due to the fact that Oracle does not record the rows in any particular order, it would be wrong that the "first date" would be the first row processed by the query.
Therefore you would have to supply some other column if you do not want to consider the table as ordered by date.
Also, any analytical functions will need you to supply the "order by" and if its the date, then just a simple query will do:

Hi,
i have an application in wich the user puts a date, say today 2010-08-10 and i have to calculate first and last day of that week, in this case 2010-08-09 and 2010-08-15. How can i do this?
Many thanks in advance,

For example does it really start on monday? And will it always start on monday?
And what day does the 'week' end on for 2010-12-29? In some businesses it will end on 2010-12-31 (friday)

Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?

I frequently get Illustrator files in that have individual objects such as paths on individual layers that could be grouped to make the layers more concise. I find that I have to shift click each individual layer to select it to eventually group it. At times, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and last layer in the layers palette, and have Illustrator select all layers in between?

Katrina,
And I guess it's the way I work. 1) I routinely select objects by selecting them from the layers palette, and not the canvas, so that I can't accidentally move an object that is the clients artwork. I prefer to work this way, as I consider it "safer". (I lock layers I'm not using) I routinely run into artists work that for instance, converted fonts to outline, and now each compound layer that is an individual letter is an object on it's own layer. 2) I need things grouped together and titled so that if I need to come back to this file and quickly fix something on press, I can tell what layer holds what object.
3) Therefore, I frequently need to select objects in a two mile long (slight exaggeration ) list of layers/sublayers and group them, retaining them in their same layers in the event an effect has been applied at the top hiearchy of that layer.
It would be great if a key, or combination of keys, would allow me to select the top object, scroll down and select the last object, and have Illustrator select all between those two.
If you create and use selections as suggested in post #12, you do have to select individual objects when they share layers with other objects (but you can select whole layers as well) in exactly the way you are used to (1), but you only have to do it once instead of having to repeat it (3), and you have them collected with a title so you can find them again (2).
At least it is part of the way.

Can only see first and last frame of clip in the timeline HELP PLEASE

Hi, my first time and I did look for an answer, but can't find one. I have premiere elements 4 and I am trying out ver. 9. In ver. 4 the clips in the timelin shows all the frames, but in ver. 9 it only shows the first and last frame of the clips. Is there any way to make all the frames show. By "all the frames", I mean the clips fill with frames.I liked to see all the frames in the timeline, it is easier for me to select and trim the bits out.
My specs are Core 2 Duo 6750, Nvidia 8600GTS, 4G Ram, Vista Home Premium. 3 HDD 3TB.
Thank you for answering

As for the GUI, PrE had one more like PrPro (the early versions), up through PrE 3. With PrE 4, they streamlined the GUI (and some of the operation), and went with the "dark look." PrPro went in that direction starting with CS3, and now, the two programs' GUI looks more alike - darker. Personally, I like PrPro 2.0's brighter GUI. Now, one can alter the brightness, but the contrast can work against doing much of that - give me the lighter GUI....
The look of PrE 4 thru PrE 9 is very similar, though things have moved about some. Still the look is similar. Same for PrPro CS 3 through CS 5.5.
As for the trial, things have changed in PrPro, as of CS 5.5. Once, the PrPro trial was very crippled, but had no watermark. No more. No crippling, and still no watermark. The trial for PrE is far less crippled, but does have the watermark. We do not know what changes might be coming with the trial of PrE10. We will just have to wait and see. One great option that Adobe offers is the 30-day, money-back guarantee. If you buy Premiere (either flavor), and use it for 29 days, but do not like it, then you return it for your money back. This is the full-paid version (both flavors) with nothing crippled, and no watermark. Not that many companies make such an offer. Basically, on can use the trial for 30 days, to see some of the powers of the program, and then buy it, and try it fully for another 29 days. If not completely satisfied, they get their money back - essentially a 59 day trial.
Were I doing AVCHD, I would definitely look at buying PrE 9, and giving it a 29 day shakedown. The only caveat is that AVCHD requires a lot of computer "horsepower," and not all computers (especially if more than a year, or so old) are up to that task. I find it amazing that a consumer format, like AVCHD, requires more computer power to process, than most professional formats, until one gets up to, say RED 2K/4K. However, that is the nature of the H.264 CODEC, and by that, I mean all H.264, not just the AVCHD version.
Good luck and happy editing,

Query : first and last 25 records of a table

Hi @ll,
i am going to write a query for a report. Therefor i need the first and last 25 records of a table. Does anyone got an idea for a solution ? I was trying to achieve this by using a WHERE clause. Here is a part of the query :
SELECT
TOP 10 T1.[ItemCode], DATEPART(mm, T1.[DocDate]) [.....]
FROM FROM INV1 T1
Where T1.[DocDate] >= Cast('2009 [......] AND
T1.ItemCode = (
SELECT TOP 10 T40.[ItemCode]
FROM DBO.OINM
WHERE Where T40.[DocDate] >= Cast('2009-04-01 00:00:00' AS datetime)
AND T40.[DocDate] <= Cast('2009-04-30 00:00:00' AS datetime)
GROUP BY T1.[ItemCode], DATEPART(mm, T40.[DocDate])
ORDER BY SUM(T1.[TotalSumSy]) ASC)
The where part i would use twice, once for ascending the other one for descending. But it does not work.
Any ideas ?
Regards Steffen

Hi,
Union was the keyword, that i was searching for. It is a nice way, but not practible.
We are using coresuite for generating reports, and there were a nice possibility to connect diffrent queries.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Jbo:DataScroller - how to ensure 'First' and 'Last' action links appear

I'm working in JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0.
I'd like to know if there's a way to ensure that the action links 'First' and 'Last' will appear, in addition to the 'Next' and 'Previous' ones (that is, assuming we're not already at the first or last range position).
It seems as if the thing that determines whether or not they appear is the number of total range positions. I can't be certain, but it seems like the magic number is 1000. If there are fewer, then 'First' and 'Last' will appear, and if there are more, then they will not. It'd be great to be able to have control of this, though. Is it possible?
Thanks

Encore is being phased out? I would be surprised if Adobe did not offer some kind of DVD authoring solution in it's place. I have not heard about this yet myself.
I have a menu size issue because, despite my reported file size being under 4.7G, Encore continues to report a menu size problem. Of course it doesn't say which menu or by how much it is exceeded. When I build it to DVD it waits several hours before reporting that there is a space issue. See below.
There is a file called woodstock-1.mp4. I can find no use of this clip at this point and it's not part of a timeline, yet Encore won't let it be deleted. Encore reports it's still in use. Surely there should be some way to track down any dependencies quickly.

append r_cperiod.
Now, you can see begin and end of moth in r_cperiod.

First and last frame disappearing off every clip

Hi,
Every clip I import in Final cut pro 6.0 loses its first and last frame.
The clips I import are in photoJpeg / 24p (verified with the -get info- of Quicktime Pro), but once in FCP they are marked as 23.98 ?!?!
In the browser the info of the clip says 23.98 and also indicates that the clip is 2 frames shorter.
When opened in the viewer the first and last frames are really missing.
It gets worse, when a clip is longer (ie: 500 frames), the first and last TWO frames are missing ?!?!
Am I alone with this problem?
Please help!!!

How are these clips getting created? Quicktime does not necessarily associate each frame with a certain TC, and the frame rate is dynamically calculated, rather than simply being hard-coded into the QT metadata. This results in Quicktimes that get created outside of FCP often showing up with different frame rates than you expect.
You might try exporting movies back out of FCP, ether from the master clips, or from sequences. I have noticed that when I export from a sequence at the correct frame rate, the missing frames come back. Other tools that might come in handy are Compressor for converting batches of files to QTs that FCP will like better, and Cinema Tools for conforming clips to a particular frame rate (like changing them from 24 to 23.98)
You might also try Dumpster which is a bare-bones utility that will allow you to view and edit the QT metadata directly.
Try some experiments and post back and let us know what you find out. I found that placing the clips in sequences at the proper frame rate and exporting new movie files worked well, but I have seen timing and frame rate shifts with some clips using this method...
Hope this helps -
