Help with SQL Syntax

Hello,
I've got a form that returns results from a MySQL table
[tasks] based on three parameters:
task_resource
begin_date
end_date
Here is my code in the record set dialog box:
SELECT *
FROM tasks
WHERE (task_resource = varName) AND (begin_date BETWEEN
varBeginDate AND varEndDate OR end_date BETWEEN varBeginDate AND
varEndDate)
ORDER BY tasks.begin_date
I thought it was working fine until I ran into a problem. The
SQL statement doesn't work if I want to see only those tasks begun
and completed on the same day. For example, I entered begin_date
02/22/08 to end_date 02/22/08 because I only want to see tasks
started AND completed on that date. But my SQL is set up (with the
"OR") so that it's returning tasks with a begin_date of 02/21/08
and end_date of 02/22/08.
How can I correct my SQL? Not sure how to do this if I take
out the OR condition.
Thank you.

>> SELECT *
> FROM tasks
> WHERE (task_resource = varName) AND (begin_date BETWEEN
varBeginDate AND
> varEndDate OR end_date BETWEEN varBeginDate AND
varEndDate)
> ORDER BY tasks.begin_date
SELECT *
FROM tasks
WHERE (task_resource = varName) AND ((begin_date BETWEEN
varBeginDate AND
varEndDate) OR (end_date BETWEEN varBeginDate AND
varEndDate))
ORDER BY tasks.begin_date

  • Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

    Hello Gurus,
    I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
    Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
    1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19

    4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
    Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
    I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
    The query should return the following data set
    Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
    1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19

    The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
    select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
    from (
    select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
    from INVOICE
    group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
    ) A, INVOICE B
    where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id
    Thanks,

  • Error with SQL syntax

    I'm trying to get onto a website i could normally get into but all it says is this
    you have an error in your SQL syntax;check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near') and adlx.'action' !=  2' at line 1
    I'm not good with computers and I've never heard of this i need some help, I may just be stupid but i seriously need some help here
    preferably instructions for a hp computer

    This looks to be an error with the web site you are visiting, not a problem with your PC.  I suggest you contact the web site owner.  The error suggests a problem with programming against a MySQL database, which is not a Microsoft technology.

  • Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

    Hi,
    I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
    Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hi,
    SQL Developer forum link:
    "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
    There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
    Try out the full install version with JRE.

  • Where clause "where 1=1" help with SQL tuning

    Hello Tuning experts,
    Is it helpful to use "where 1=1" and then put all the joins and conditions in the "AND" statements of the SQL when writing SQL queries. I would like to know if it helps with query performance to write SQL queirs that way.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can see here that "where 1 = 1" is gone from the predicate info in the explain plan.

  • Help with SQL Server 2005 http Endpoint

    I am trying to use mx:webservice to directly connect to a SQL
    Server 2005 HTTP Endpoint. Is this possible. Is there going to be a
    problem with crossdomain issues? If the Endpoint is actively
    listening on port 80 then IIS cannot. So I cannot place
    crossdomain.xml in webserver, how will I overcome this crossdomain
    problem? Am I making this more complicated than it is? If anyone
    has an example it would be appreciated. All I want is a flex2 app
    talking directly to sql server. Seems possible.

    Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
    a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
    reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
    problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
    the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
    AuthenticationMethod=Type2
    If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
    it ever may help with some other problem.
    Here's one other possible answer for you:

    Sorry I can't be more clear for you.

    Hi,
    I hope you are thinking of Creating a Table with the Same Structure as the remote database Table, If so.
    You can create a Table from the Existing Table using CTAS(Create Table as Select).
    Provided, you have created a Database Links between the 2 Databases. You can create a
    table in your Schema as,
    CREATE TABLE local_db_table AS
    SELECT * FROM remote_user_name.remote_db_table@dbname;Thanks,

  • Help with SQL insert

    Hi,
    Brand new to CF - using CF9. Have SQL Server 2005 database. Only one table. Using CF for frontend. Do not know proper syntax to get INSERT to work. Keep getting "Element XXXXXX is undefined in FORM."
    Database name is RAWH.
    Columns for insert are:
    startdate
    enddate
    TypeHrs
    NoOfHours
    projects
    justification
    Frontend has forms and fields which are:
    Form                                       Field (value)
    firstDates                                startdate
    firstDates                                enddate
    typHrs                                     TypeHrs
    noHrs                                      NoOfHours
    none                                        projects
    none                                        justification
    Do not know how to code for INSERT - have this for now - which obviously does not work:
    <cfquery name="RAWH" datasource="RAWH">
    INSERT INTO RAWH
    (startdate, enddate, TypeHrs, NoOfHours, projects, justification)
    VALUES
    (#Form.firstDates#, '#Form.startdate#', '#Form.enddate#', #Form.typHrs#, '#Form.TypeHrs#', #Form.noHrs#, '#Form.NoOfHours#')
    </cfquery>
    What am I doing wrong?
    Get this:
    Element FIRSTDATES is undefined in FORM.
    The error occurred in D:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\RAWH1\RAWH1.cfm: line 5
    3 : (startdate, enddate, TypeHrs, NoOfHours, projects, justification)

    RAWH 
    Microsoft SQL Server 
    OK 

    Ian & Dan,
    Thanks. I added "<cfdump var="#form#">" and the result is "struct [empty]."
    I altered the form/input code thusly,
    <form id="beginDate" name="beginDate" onclick="function compareDate(); method="post"
                   style="width: 1px; height: 1px;">
              <td><input style="width: 70px" type="text" id="startdate" name="startdate" /></td>
            </form>
            <form id="endnDate" name="endDate" onclick="function compareDate(); method="post"
                   style="width: 1px; height: 1px;">
              <td><input style="width: 70px" type="text" id="enddate" name="enddate" /></td>
            </form>
    Should this be a cfform? I also made separate forms for startdate and enddate rather than one form for both.
    The cfquery is this:
    <cfquery name="RAWH" datasource="RAWH">
    INSERT INTO RAWH
    (startdate, enddate, TypeHrs, NoOfHours, projects, justification)
    VALUES
    (#Form.beginDate#, '#Form.startdate#', '#Form.endDate#', '#Form.enddate#', #Form.typHrs#, '#Form.TypeHrs#', #Form.noHrs#, '#Form.NoOfHours#', 'projects', 'justification')
    </cfquery>
    Still the same result -
    Element BEGINDATE is undefined in FORM.
    The error occurred in D:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\RAWH1\RAWH1.cfm: line 7
    5 : (startdate, enddate, TypeHrs, NoOfHours, projects, justification)

    8 : </cfquery>
    9 :
    What am I doing wrong?
    Dan - you said that I do not have a form until I submit one - I get this error by opening the web page (F12). There is no onsubmit coding done.
    Sorry guys, I am lost with this.
    Thank you,

  • Help with SQL MODEL Clause

    I have the privilege of performing a very tedious task.
    We have some home grown regular expressions in our company. I now need to expand these regular expressions.
    Samples:
    a = 0-3
    b = Null, 0, 1
    Expression: Meaning
    1:5: 1,2,3,4,5
    1a: 10, 11, 12, 13
    1b: 1, 10, 11
    1[2,3]ab: 120, 1200, 1201, ....
    It get's even more inetersting because there is a possibility of 1[2,3]a.ab
    I have created two base queries to aid me in my quest. I am using the SQL MODEL clause to solve this problem. I pretty confident that I should be able to convert evrything into a range and the use one of the MODEL clause listed below.
    My only confusion is how do I INCREMENT dynamically. The INCREMENT seems to be a constant in both a FOR and ITERATE statement. I need to figure a way to increment with .01, .1, etc.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    CODE:
    Reference:          http://www.sqlsnippets.com/en/topic-11663.html
    Objective:          Expand a range with ITERATE
    WITH t AS
    (SELECT '2:4' pt

    Explanation:

    Of course, you can accomplish the same thing without MODEL using an Integer Series Generator like this.
    create table t ( min_val number, max_val number, increment_size number );
    insert into t values ( 2, 3, 0.1 );
    insert into t values ( 1.02, 1.08, 0.02 );
    commit;
    create table integer_table as
      select rownum - 1 as n from all_objects where rownum <= 100 ;
    select
      min_val ,
      increment_size ,
      min_val + (increment_size * n) as val
    from t, integer_table
    where
      n between 0 and ((max_val - min_val)/increment_size)
    order by 3
       MIN_VAL INCREMENT_SIZE        VAL
          1.02            .02       1.02
          1.02            .02       1.04
          1.02            .02       1.06
          1.02            .02       1.08

  • I need help with SQL Server 2012

    Hi Everyone, 
    I am using the query pane to create a database with the data  file and log file but keep getting this error message. I will be glad if someone can help. 
    You can see below the syntax:
    Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\project.mdf'.
    Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
    CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors..
    CREATE DATABASE project
    ON
    (Name= 'project_dat',
    FILENAME ='C:\project.mdf',
    SIZE = 10,
    MAXSIZE = 100,
    FILEGROWTH = 5)
    LOG ON
    (NAME = project_log,
    FILENAME = 'C:\project.ldf',
    SIZE =40,
    MAXSIZE = 100,
    FILEGROWTH = 10);

    Look at the second number in your constraints ValidBirthYear and ValidDeathYear. Do you mean to limit it to years between 1000-1199 and 2000-2199? Also, your ValidDeathYear constraint is using DateOfBirth.
    CONSTRAINT
      ValidBirthYear
    CHECK 
    (DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
    [0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'),
    CONSTRAINT
      ValidDeathYear
    CHECK
    (DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
    [0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'));
    I'm very much a beginner so that may not fix your issue but it sure looks like the cause of the second message to me.

  • Need help with SQL for Pie Chart

    I am trying to create a pie charge which would have 3 slices.
    Following sql gives me the expected values when I run the sql command:
    select
    round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) "OD Engagements",
    round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) "Talent Engagements",
    round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) "Other Engagements"
    from OTD_PROJECT
    where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
    I get 3 columns labeled: OD Engagements, Talent Engagements and Other Engagements with the correct averages based on the the data.
    I have tried several ways to try to get this to work in the SQL for a pie chart, but keep getting the invalid sql message and it won't save. I also tried saving without validation, but no data is shown on the chart at all.
    I want to have a pie, with 3 slices, one labeled OD Engagements with a value of 27, one labeled Talent Engagements with a value of 43 and one labeled Other Engagements with a value of 30. Then I want to be able to click on each pie slice to drill down to a secondary pie chart that shows the breakdown based on the categories included in that type.
    Since I am not grouping based on an existing field I an unsure what the link and label values should be in the chart sql.

    You'll need something like the below. I have no idea what the URL for the drilldown needs to be. It should create an appropriate link in your app for the particular slice. Mainly the code below breaks the SQL results into three rows rather than three columns. It may well have a syntax error since I can't test.
    select linkval  AS LINK,
           title    AS LABEL,
           calc_val AS VALUE
    FROM   (SELECT 'OD Engagements' AS title,
                   round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) AS calc_val,
                   'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
            from   OTD_PROJECT
            where  STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
            UNION ALL
            SELECT 'Talent Engagements' AS title,
                   round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) AS calc_val,
                   'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
            from   OTD_PROJECT
            where  STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
            UNION ALL
            SELECT 'Other Engagements' AS title,
                   round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) AS calc_val,
                   'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
            from   OTD_PROJECT
            where  STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
           );
