I'm asking for your kindly explanation on this.
I have a Calendar table, where each day is having a row. Also I have a table with backup results, where the date and time of backup start is stored.
My goal is to have this result:
date of month | serverid | datetime of backup | result | note (not in table, for info only)
2022-02-02 | 11 | 2022-02-02 19:00 | OK | backup was successful
2022-02-03 | NULL | NULL | NULL | backup was not even start
2022-02-04 | 11 | 2022-02-04 19:00 | FAILED | backup started but error occured
I tried LEFT OUTER JOIN and OUTER APPLY.
LEFT OUTER JOIN is not returning the null lines where backup is not started
OUTER APPLY is working much better, but when I filter results by Year, Month (from calendar table) and serverid, NULL lines are gone also.
So my goal is to select ALL lines from calendar table in the specified month and year and assign the results to them by the backup start datetime column to see the days where the backup was not started also.
Can you please point me at right way?
Best Regards, Jan
Example of queries:
SELECT [SqlDt], [Year], [Month], A.*
FROM [portal].[dbo].[Calendar] C OUTER APPLY
(SELECT *
FROM [DS-Backup] D
WHERE [C].[SqlDt] = CAST(D .VersionDate AS Date)) A
SELECT dbo.Calendar.SqlDt, dbo.Calendar.Year, dbo.Calendar.Month, dbo.[DS-Backup].EID, dbo.[DS-Backup].VersionDate, dbo.[DS-Backup].VersionStatus
FROM dbo.Calendar LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.[DS-Backup] ON dbo.Calendar.SqlDt = CAST(dbo.[DS-Backup].VersionDate AS Date)
Thank you all for useful commnets, I was not filter the table with backup results before join.
Now it is working the way I want:
SELECT [SqlDt],[Year],[Month],[Backups].*
FROM [portal].[dbo].[Calendar]
LEFT JOIN ( SELECT * FROM [portal].[dbo].[DS-WindowsServerBackup] WHERE EID=11) as Backups
ON Calendar.SqlDt = CAST([Backups].[VersionDate] as Date)

I have two columns of timestamps in a table and I want to get the average of their difference. An example could this:
| start_date | end_date |
---------------------------------------------
| 2022-01-01 12:00:00 | 2022-01-01 13:00:00 |
| 2022-01-02 10:00:00 | 2022-01-02 12:00:00 |
| ... | ... |
|___________________________________________
I need the average to be expressed in seconds and I know that in postgresql you can do it like this:
select
exctract(epoch from avg(end_date - start_date)) as average
from
tableA
but in sqlServer you do it this way:
select
DATEDIFF(second, start_date, end_date) as average
from
tableA
I need to make a query that does this average but that uses ANSI sql, so no matter which db i encounter, i always get the same result.
My complete query looks like this:
select
name, description, .. as average
from
tableA, tableB, tableC
where
.... /* join conditions etc */
group by
name, description
Is there a way to do this? I'm not an expert but if functions could be useful in this scenario that is fine. I didn't come up a solution though.
The most imprtant DBs I work with are postgresql, oracle, mysql, sqlserver.
How to query to accumulate two datetime columns in two tables in SQL Server 2014? This is an example for your reference:
Check-In table
InID UserID CheckInTime
---------------------------------
IN-001 1 2018-11-10 08:00:00
IN-002 2 2018-11-15 07:00:00
Check-Out table
OutID UserID CheckOutTime
----------------------------------
OUT-001 1 2018-11-10 12:00:00
OUT-002 2 2018-11-15 14:00:00
Result set (expected)
ResultID UserID InID OutID WorkTimeinHour
--------------------------------------------------------
1 1 IN-001 OUT-001 4
2 2 IN-002 OUT-002 7
Similar to #PSK, I used STUFF function to replace "IN-" and "OUT-" characters
But since these are in JOIN conditions, those operations will cause performance loss
It is better to use a numeric column in both tables instead of useless "IN-" and "OUT-" containing string columns
select
i.UserId, i.InID, CheckInTime, o.OutID, CheckOutTime,
dbo.fn_CreateTimeFromSeconds(DATEDIFF(ss, CheckInTime, CheckOutTime)) as TotalTime
from CheckIn i
inner join CheckOut o
on i.UserId = o.UserId and
STUFF (i.InID,1,3,'') = STUFF (o.OutID,1,4,'')
Additionally, I used a custom user-defined fn_CreateTimeFromSeconds function to format time for HH:MI:SS format
Hope it helps
For your current scenario, you can try like following.
Assuming that IN and OUT id after the "-" will be same as one entry.
SELECT ROW_NUMBER()
OVER(
ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ResultIt,
T1.inid,
T2.outid,
DATEDIFF(hh, T2.checkouttime, T1.checkintime)
FROM checkin T1
INNER JOIN checkout T2
ON REPLACE(T1.inid, 'IN-', '') = REPLACE(T2.outid, 'OUT-', '')
This query will not perform good for huge data as REPLACE is being used in the JOIN. Ideally you should have a single identifier to identify the IN and OUT transaction.
I am writing a query in SQL Server 2008 (Express I believe?). I am currently getting this error:
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
Column 'AIM.dbo.AggTicket.TotDirectHrs' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
I am trying to do a historical analysis of our production WIP (Work In Process).
I have created a standalone calendar table (actually located in a separate database called BAS on the same server to not interfere with the ERP that operates the AIM database). I've been overwhelmed for days with some of the examples for creating running total queries/views/tables, so for now I'll just plan on taking care of that part inside of Crystal Reports 2016. My thinking was that I wanted to return records for each order each day of my calendar table (to be narrowed down in the future to only days that match records in the AIM database). The values I think I will need are:
Record Date (not unique)
Order Number (unique for each day)
Estimated hours for the job
The total number of hours worked on the job current as of today's date (in case the estimated hours were drastically underbudgeted)
The SUM of the direct labor hours charged to the job on said record date
The COUNT of the number of employees in attendance on said record date.
The SUM of the hours attended by employees on said record date.
The tables I use are as follows:
BAS Database:
dbo.DateDimension - Used for complete calendar of dates from 1/1/1987 to 12/31/2036
AIM Database:
dbo.AggAttend - Contains one or more records for each employee's attendance duration on a given date (i.e. One record for each punch-in / punch-out. Should be equal to indirect + direct labor)
dbo.AggTicket - Contains one or more records for each employee's direct labor duration charged to a particular order number
dbo.ModOrders - Contains one record for each order including the estimated hours, start date, and end date (I will worry about using the start and end dates later for figuring out how many available hours there were on each date)
Here is the code I'm using in my query:
;WITH OrderTots AS
(
SELECT
AggTicket.OrderNo,
SUM(AggTicket.TotDirectHrs) AS TotActHrs
FROM
AIM.dbo.AggTicket
GROUP BY
AggTicket.OrderNo
)
SELECT
d.Date,
t.OrderNo,
o.EstHrs,
OrderTots.TotActHrs,
SUM(t.TotDirectHrs) OVER (PARTITION BY t.TicketDate) AS DaysDirectHrs,
COUNT(a.EmplCode) AS NumEmployees,
SUM(a.TotHrs) AS DaysAttendHrs
FROM
BAS.dbo.DateDimension d
INNER JOIN
AIM.dbo.AggAttend a ON d.Date = a.TicketDate
LEFT OUTER JOIN
AIM.dbo.AggTicket t ON d.Date = t.TicketDate
LEFT OUTER JOIN
AIM.dbo.ModOrders o ON t.OrderNo = o.OrderNo
LEFT OUTER JOIN
OrderTots ON t.OrderNo = OrderTots.OrderNo
GROUP BY
d.Date, t.TicketDate, t.OrderNo, o.EstHrs,
OrderTots.TotActHrs
ORDER BY
d.Date
When I run that query in SQL Server Management Studio 2017, I get the above error.
These are my questions for the community:
Does this error message correctly describe an error in my code?
If so, why is that error an error? (To the best of my knowledge, everything is already contained in either an aggregate function or in the GROUP BY clause...smh)
What is a better way to write this query so that it will function?
Much appreciation to everyone in advance!
I am writing a query in SQL Server 2008 (Express I believe?).
SELECT ##VERSION Will let you know what version you are on.
Column 'AIM.dbo.AggTicket.TotDirectHrs' is invalid in the select list
because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the
GROUP BY clause.
The problem is with your SUM OVER() statement:
SUM(t.TotDirectHrs) OVER (PARTITION BY t.TicketDate) AS DaysDirectHrs
Here, since you are using the OVER clause, you must include it in the GROUP BY. The OVER clause is used to determine the partitioning and order of a row-set for a window function. So, while you are using an aggregate with SUM you are doing this in a window function. Window functions belong to a type of function known as a 'set function', which means a function that applies to a set of rows. The word 'window' is used to refer to the set of rows that the function works on.
Thus, add t.TotDirectHrs to the GROUP BY
GROUP BY
d.Date, t.TicketDate, t.OrderNo, o.EstHrs,
OrderTots.TotActHrs, t.TotDirectHrs
If this narrows your results into a grouping that you don't want, then you can wrap it in another CTE or use a correlated sub-query. Potentially like the below:
(SELECT SUM(t2.TotDirectHrs) OVER (PARTITION BY t2.TicketDate) AS DaysDirectHrs FROM AIM.dbo.AggTicket t2 WHERE t2.TicketDate = t.TicketDate) as DaysDirectHrs,
EXAMPLE
if object_id('tempdb..#test') is not null
drop table #test
create table #test(id int identity(1,1), letter char(1))
insert into #test
values
('a'),
('b'),
('b'),
('c'),
('c'),
('c')
Given the data set above, suppose we wanted to get a count of all rows. That's simple right?
select
TheCount = count(*)
from
#test
+----------+
| TheCount |
+----------+
| 6 |
+----------+
Here, no GROUP BY is needed because it's implied to group over all columns since no columns are specified in the SELECT list. Remember, GROUP BY groups the SELECT statement results according to the values in a list of one or more column expressions. If aggregate functions are included in the SELECT list, GROUP BY calculates a summary value for each group. These are known as vector aggregates.[MSDN].
Now, suppose we wanted to count each letter in the table. We could do that at least two ways. Using COUNT(*) with the letter column in the select list--or using COUNT(letter) with the letter column in the select list. However, in order for us to attribute the count with the letter, we need to return the letter column. Thus, we must include letter in the GROUP BY to tell SQL Server what to apply the summary table to.
select
letter
,TheCount = count(*)
from
#test
group by
letter
+--------+----------+
| letter | TheCount |
+--------+----------+
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| c | 3 |
+--------+----------+
Now, what if we wanted to return this same count, but we wanted to return all rows as well? This is where window functions come in. The window function works similar to GROUP BY in this case by telling SQL Server the set of rows to apply the aggregate to. Then, it's value is returned for for every row in this window / partition. Thus, it returns a column which is applied to every row making it just like any column or calculated column which is returned form the select list.
select
letter
,TheCountOfTheLetter = count(*) over (partition by letter)
from
#test
+--------+---------------------+
| letter | TheCountOfTheLetter |
+--------+---------------------+
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| b | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| c | 3 |
| c | 3 |
+--------+---------------------+
Now we get to your case where you want to use an aggregate and an aggregate in a window function. Remember that the return of the window function is treated like any other column, thus must be applied in the GROUP BY. Pseudo would look something like this, but window functions aren't allowed in the GROUP BY clause.
select
letter
,TheCount = count(*)
,TheCountOfTheLetter = count(*) over (partition by letter)
from
#test
group by
letter
,count(*) over (partition by letter)
--returns an error
Thus, we must a correlated sub-query or a cte or some other method.
select
t.letter
,TheCount = count(*)
,TheCountOfTheLetter = (select distinct count(*) over (partition by letter) from #test t2 where t2.letter = t.letter)
from
#test t
group by
t.letter
+--------+----------+---------------------+
| letter | TheCount | TheCountOfTheLetter |
+--------+----------+---------------------+
| a | 1 | 1 |
| b | 2 | 2 |
| c | 3 | 3 |
+--------+----------+---------------------+
I am new to SQL Server world. I have a table as below:
alert_id | create_date | Status
---------+-------------+---------
1231 | 4/15/2017 | Open
1232 | 4/15/2017 | Open
1234 | 4/15/2017 | Closed
1235 | 4/16/2017 | Open
All of these alerts should be closed in 30 days. I need to get a forecast report which shows how many alerts are open for past 30 days.
I would like to write a select query whose output would be 2 columns. First would be Date and 2nd would be count. The date column should display all the dates for next 30 days and Count column should display the number of records which are due to expire on that day. Something like below would work. Please assist.
date | Count
----------+---------
5/15/2017 | 2
5/16/2017 | 3
5/17/2017 | 0
5/18/2017 | 0
.

6/14/2017 | 0
This is a job for GROUP BY and date arithmetic. In MySQL:
SELECT DATE(create_date) + INTERVAL 30 DAY expire_date, COUNT(*) num
FROM tbl
WHERE status = 'Open'
GROUP BY DATE(create_date)
DATE(create_date) + INTERVAL 30 DAY gets you the create date values with thirty days added.
GROUP BY(create_date) groups your data by values of your create date, truncated to midnight.
And, COUNT(*) goes with GROUP BY to tell you how many records in each group.
Edit In recent versions of SQL Server (MS)
SELECT DATEADD(day, 30, CAST(create_date AS DATE)) expire_date, COUNT(*) num
FROM tbl
WHERE status = 'Open'
GROUP BY CAST(create_date AS DATE)
Notice, please, that date arithmetic varies between make and model of SQL server software. That's why you get hassled by Stack Overflow users in comments when you use more than one tag like [oracle] [mysql] [sql-server] on your questions.
Cool, huh? You should read up on aggregate queries, sometimes called summary queries.
You're not going to get the missing dates with zeros by them. That's quite a bit harder to do with SQL.
My table:
Items | Price | UpdateAt
1 | 2000 | 02/02/2015
2 | 4000 | 06/04/2015
3 | 2150 | 07/05/2015
4 | 1800 | 07/05/2015
5 | 5540 | 08/16/2015
4 | 1700 | 12/24/2015
5 | 5200 | 12/26/2015
2 | 3900 | 01/01/2016
4 | 2000 | 06/14/2016
As you can see, this is a table that keeps items' price as well as their old price before the last update.
Now I need to find the rows which :
UpdateAt is more than 1 year ago from now
Must have updated price at least once ever since
Aren't the most up-to-date price
So with those conditions, the result from the above table should be :
Items | Price | UpdateAt
2 | 4000 | 06/04/2015
4 | 1800 | 07/05/2015
I can achieve what I need with this
Declare #LastUpdate date set #LastUpdate = DATEADD(YEAER, -1, GETDATE())
select Items, UpdateAt from ITEM_PRICE where Items in (
select Items from (
select Items, count(Items) as C from ITEM_PRICE group by Items) T
where T.C > 1)
and UpdateAt < #LastUpdate
But since I am still a newbie in sqlserver, and this need to be done in vb.net, passing along that query with lots of select in it seems sloppy and hard to maintain.
So, I would like to ask if anyone can give me a simpler solution ?
Sorry, i edited my question as I need one more condition to be met after trying #Tim Biegeleisen's answer, which is indeed the correct one for the question before edit. And I can't figure this out anymore.
Why I need all those condition, it's because I'm having to clean up the table: Clearing off the data that's older than 1 year, while still keeping the most up-to-date item price.
In my answer below, I use a subquery to identify all items which appear in the table during the last year. This is the requirement of having an updated price "at least once ever since." In the outer query, I restrict to only records which are older than one year from now, which is the other part of the requirement. An INNER JOIN is used, because we want to filter off records which do not meet both criteria.
SELECT t1.Items, t1.Price, t1.UpdateAt
FROM ITEM_PRICE t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT Items
FROM ITEM_PRICE
WHERE UpdateAt > DATEADD(year, -1, GETDATE())
) t2
ON t1.Items = t2.Items
WHERE t1.UpdateAt <= DATEADD(year, -1, GETDATE())
Once again, SQL Fiddle is having problems simulating SQL Server. But I went ahead and created a Fiddle in MySQL, which looks nearly identical to my SQL Server answer. You can verify that the logic and output are correct.
