Order by difference of days - sql-server

I'm doing a simple query, a select on a table with ID, name and date of birth. I would like to sort of low to high depending on the days that there difference between now and the date of birth of the table. Any ideas? I'm new to SQL and I can not think how.
Table User
SELECT * FROM User ORDER BY

you can use like this
select * from user order by datediff(d,dateofbirth, getdate())

How to get just first(datetime2 data type) value form each date?

I have SQL query for filtering working time of employees. Actually I need to create a report(using visual studio reports) that displays arrival time for every employee and for each day in month. In my SQL I have a few records(arrival time) for the same date. Only I want to do is to show just first arrival time, not second and further. I called that column Start_Session as datetime2 type.
How can I filter it, is it possible?
It seems you aren't understanding the other question that Larnu linked you to in the comments. The answer to that question is not suggesting you want to be using a top(1), but instead filtering for the first row in a defined group. Per those answers, that can be achieved with the row_number() window function. In your case, this would look something like the following:
with r as
(
select Employee
,cast(ArrivalTime as date) as ArrivalDate
,ArrivalTime
,row_number() over (partition by Employee, cast(ArrivalTime as date) order by ArrivalTime) as rn
from YourTable
)
select Employee
,ArrivalDate
,ArrivalTime
from r
where rn = 1;

Date range based on Column Date

I am using the latest SQL Server. I have a table with a CreatedDate column. I need to write a Query that uses dates that are plus or minus 7 from the Date in CreatedDate. I have no clue how to go about this. My thought was this:
DECLARE #Date datetime
DECLARE #SevenBefore datetime
DECLARE #SevenAfter datetime
SET #Date = CreatedDate
SET #SevenBefore = DATEADD(day,-7,#Date)
SET #SevenAfter = DATEADD(day,7,#Date)
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE <table> BETWEEN #SevenBefore AND #SevenAfter
The issue with this is that I cannot use "CreatedDate" as a SET #DATE because SQL gives an error "Invalid column name 'CreatedDate'"
Any help would be appreciated. I cannot list a date because every date in that column could be different.
Thanks
In this case, you need to stop thinking as a programmer would, and start thinking as a Database programmer would.
Lets work only with this central part of your query:
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE <table> BETWEEN #SevenBefore AND #SevenAfter
Now, you say that the CreatedDate is a column in a table. For this example, I will assume that the CreatedDate is in a table other than the one in your example above. For this purpose, I will give two fake names to the tables. The table with the CreatedDate, I will call tblCreated, and the one from the query above I will call tblData.
Looking above, it's pretty obvious that you can't compare an entire table row to a date. There must be a field in that table that contains a date/time value. I will call this column TargetDate.
Given these assumptions, your query would look something like:
SELECT *
FROM tblCreated tc
INNER JOIN tblData td
ON td.TargetDate BETWEEN DATEADD(day, -7, tc.CreatedDate) and DATEADD(day, 7, tc.CreatedDate)
Looking at this, it is clear that you still need some other associations between the tables. Do you only want all data rows per customer based on the Created date, or perhaps only want Creations where some work was done on them as shown in the Data records, or ??. Without a fuller specification, we can't help with that, though.

how to get data from two tables of sqlite and sort data

I've two tables
income
expense
the problem is I want to query all the data from both tables
SELECT income.date AS IN_DATE, expense.date AS EX_DATE FROM income, expense
I get weird result data is double times from db as you can see
you can try this out HERE
how can I get distinct results not double and at last wanna ask don't have idea of getting data from both tables and sort by date descending.
My guess is that you want union all:
select 'income' as which, id, title, date
from income
union all
select 'expense' as which, id, title, date
from expense;
This will give you a result set containing the rows from the two tables, with an identifier of which table each row comes from.
You can order by date and do other manipulations if you use a subquery:
select ie.*
from (select 'income' as which, id, title, date
from income
union all
select 'expense' as which, id, title, date
from expense
) ie
order by date desc;
Your simple SELECT does a cross product with the two columns (IN_DATE, EX_DATE). Hence, you get every possible combination of the values from both columns. INNER JOIN income ON expense.id=income.id or WHERE income.id == expense.id should do the trick.
You need to match the same ids, else SQL will just output any possible combination.
SELECT income.date AS IN_DATE, expense.date AS EX_DATE FROM income, expense WHERE income.id LIKE expense.id

SQL Server 2014 Management Studio

I'm a non profit lawyer trying to set up a SQL Server database for my agency. The issue I'm having is query based: I need a simple query that will aggregate the total number of rows on a table, not the sum of the cell contents.
I working with 4 columns of I to: attorney's name, client name, trial date and remedy (the last 2 are date and dollar amount, so integers].
*** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS***
SELECT TOP 100
[attorney]
,[client]
,[trial_date]
,[remedy]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
I'm trying to find a way (script, batch file, etc) that will populate a total number of cases by month (according to trial date) total number of clients, and sum the remedy column.
Sorry for the vagueness. There are privilege rules in place. Hope that helps clarify.
Thanks
Assuming that your case history spans years, not just months, try this:
SELECT
,YEAR([trial_date]) AS [Year]
,MONTH([trial_date]) AS [Month]
,COUNT(1) AS [Trial_Count]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
GROUP BY YEAR([trial_date]), MONTH([trial_date])
If you want to separate this by attorney, you would need to add that column to the SELECT list, as well as the GROUP BY clause, as such:
SELECT
[attorney]
,YEAR([trial_date]) AS [Year]
,MONTH([trial_date]) AS [Month]
,COUNT(1) AS [Trial_Count]
FROM [MyLegalDB]
WHERE [trial_date] between '20160101' and '20160531'
GROUP BY [attorney], YEAR([trial_date]), MONTH([trial_date])
This is a very general answer to a very general question. If you want me to be more specific, I'm going to have to understand your goal a little better. Hope it helps.

SQL Server find column difference from different tables and fill intermediate dates

I have the purchase entry in one table #temp1 and sales history in another table #temp2 for multiple stores. There might be no sales, no purchase, or both/either of them in a day. I need to build a graph of daily stock.
Basically, I am stuck in the query part. For first part I need to combine both tables to view the data together...
Secondly, I need to find the cumulative values for the stock ; something like ...
After I get I need to plot it finally... help out !!! QUERY MASTER !!!
If you start out by using a Union something like:
SELECT Store, Date, Purchase, 0 Sales FROM #temp1
UNION ALL
SELECT Store, Date, 0, Sales FROM #temp2
You have all the data in one table/view. From there, you can get things consolidated by
SELECT
Store, Date,
Sum(Purchase) Purchase,
Sum(Sales) Sales,
Sum(Purchase) - Sum(Sales) InStock
GROUP BY
Store, Date
That will give you a view with the Store, Date, Purchases, Sales and In Stock in one row. If you work things via query rather than temp tables, you can easily use the final view to feed SSRS and draw your graph.
Hope that helps.
Yes, the hint by #mark worked...
select store,date,ISNULL(purchase,0) as purchase,0 as sales
into #tbl
from temp1
union all
select store,date,0 as purchase,ISNULL(sales,0) as sales from temp2
select store,sum(purchase) as PUR,sum(sales) as SAL,sum(purchase-sales) as STOCK from #tbl
group by store,date
order by storename
drop table #tbl
And, the empty dates in between are automatically managed by the SSRS reporting tool.
But, the cumulative sums are not able to solve till now...
