I'm extremely new to SQL Sever and so I apologize if the question is worded strange. I am doing a homework assignment, and this is the question:
"A manager wants to know the email address, number or orders, and the total amount of purchases made by each customer. Create a summary query that returns these three items for each customer that has orders."
I have all of the data queried, the problem is when I pull data from each customer, it will show the quantity of items per order, and I need the items to be pooled together into one column. This is my query thus far (again, total noob, please excuse any poor syntax, etc.)
SELECT EmailAddress,
ItemPrice - DiscountAmount * Quantity AS TotalPurchaseAmount,
COUNT(*) AS OrderQty
FROM Customers
JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
JOIN OrderItems ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.OrderID
GROUP BY Orders.CustomerID,
OrderItems.ItemPrice, OrderItems.DiscountAmount,
OrderItems.Quantity,
Customers.EmailAddress;
The following is a small bit of the result set that I get:
Email Address OrderTotal OrderQty
allan.sherwood#yahoo.com 253.15 2
allan.sherwood#yahoo.com 839.30 2
allan.sherwood#yahoo.com 1208.16 2
barryz#gmail.com 303.79 4
christineb#solarone.com 479.60 2
david.goldstein#hotmail.com 299.00 2
david.goldstein#hotmail.com 489.30 1
david.goldstein#hotmail.com 479.60 1
So as you can see, I have several orders I need to smoosh together into one single row per e-mail, I have looked and looked for an answer but the only thing I can find is how to find duplicates and ignore them, not combine their data. Any help is extremely appreciate, thanks so much for taking the time to read this :) If my question doesn't make sense please let me know so I can clear up any bad wording I may have used!
Just do GROUP BY CustomerID, EmailAddress:
SELECT
c.EmailAddress,
SUM((i.ItemPrice - i.DiscountAmount) * Quantity) AS TotalPurchaseAmount,
COUNT(*) AS OrderQty
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN Orders o
ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN OrderItems i
ON o.OrderID = i.OrderID
GROUP BY
c.CustomerID, c.EmailAddress
Additional note: Use aliases for your tables
You need to change your formula and remove columns that you dont want to group by from select query..
for example your query should be something like this
SELECT EmailAddress,
--do your aggregation here
blah AS TotalPurchaseAmount,
COUNT(*) AS OrderQty
FROM Customers
JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
JOIN OrderItems ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.OrderID
GROUP BY Orders.CustomerID,
Customers.EmailAddress;

So this is what I am working with new to sql and still learning been stuck on this for a few days now. Any advice would be appreciated I attached the image of the goal I'm trying to achieve
OrderItem And Product Table
Order And OrderItem Table(https://i.stack.imgur.com/pdbMT.png)
Scenario: Our boss would like to see the OrderNumber, OrderDate, Product Name, UnitPrice and Quantity for products that have TotalAmounts larger than the average
Create a query with a subquery in the WHERE clause. OrderNumber, OrderDate and TotalAmount come from the Order table. ProductName comes from the Product table. UnitPrice and Quantity come from the OrderItem table.
This is the code I came up with but it causes product name to run endlessly and displays wrong info.
USE TestCorp;
SELECT DISTINCT OrderNumber,
OrderDate,
ProductName,
i.UnitPrice,
Quantity,
TotalAmount
FROM [Order], Product
JOIN OrderItem i ON Product.UnitPrice = i.UnitPrice
WHERE TotalAmount < ( SELECT AVG(TotalAmount)
FROM [Order]
)
ORDER BY TotalAmount DESC;
Best guess assuming joins and fields not provided.
SELECT O.OrderNumber, O.orderDate, P.ProductName, OI.UnitPrice, OI.Quantity, O.TotalAmount
FROM [Order] O
INNER JOIN OrderItem OI
on O.ID = OI.orderID
INNER JOIN Product P
on P.ID= OI.ProductID
CROSS JOIN (SELECT avg(TotalAmount) AvgTotalAmount FROM [Order]) z
WHERE O.TotalAmount > z.AvgTotalAmount
Notes:
You're mixing join notations don't use , and inner join together that's mixing something called ANSI Standards.
I'm not sure why you have a cross join to product to begin with
You don't specify how to join Order to order item.
It seems very odd to be joining on Price.... join on order ID or productID maybe?
you could cross join to an "Average" result so it's available on every record. (I aliased this inline view "Z" in my attempt)
so what the above does is include all Orders. and for each order, an order item must be associated for it to be included. And then for each order item, a productid must be included and related to a record in product. If for some reason an order item record doens't have a related entry in product table, it gets excluded.
I use a cross join to get the average as it's executed 1 time and applied/joined to every record.
If we use the query in the where clause it's executed one time for EVERY record (unless the DB Engine optimizer figures it out and generates a better plan)
I Assume
Order.ID relates to OrderItem.OrderID
OrderItem.productID relates to Product.ID
Order.TotalAmount is what we are wanting to "Average" and compare against
Every Order has an Order Item entry
Every Order Item entry has a related product.
I'm having issues with what I believe should be a simple problem in SQL Server 2017. I need to show the total sales price for a given sale. This is what I have written (note I deleted the totalprice sum formulae because it returned an error) :
USE [Antiques]
GO
DECLARE #TotalPrice INT
SELECT
Sales.SaleNo,
Sales.SalesDate,
Customers.FirstName,
Customers.LastName,
Products.Price,
#TotalPrice AS TotalPrice
FROM
Customers JOIN Sales ON Customers.CustomerID = Sales.CustomerID
JOIN SalesProducts ON Sales.SaleNo = SalesProducts.SaleNo
JOIN Products ON SalesProducts.ProductID = Products.ProductID
WHERE (Products.ProductID = SalesProducts.ProductID)
GO
This is the result:
Even if I remove the item price (which I have just put in temporarily and won't be in final code) there are still multiple lines per sale (1 for each item in the sale). Have I used the wrong joins? How can I get it looking like this:
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried so many ways of using the Sum function and Group By and failing. (Note: this has to be a basic query and not a stored procedure unfortunately)
Actually you're not too far away. I'd move the grouping in a derived table and join that, to get the totalprice.
SELECT sales.saleno,
sales.salesdate,
customers.firstname,
customers.lastname,
x.totalprice
FROM sales
INNER JOIN customers
ON customers.customerid = sales.customerid
INNER JOIN (SELECT salesproducts.saleno,
sum(products.price) totalprice
FROM salesproducts
INNER JOIN products
ON products.productid = salesproducts.productid
GROUP BY salesproducts.saleno) x
ON x.saleno = sales.salesno;
I am getting my face kicked in....
I have a total of 4 tables
1. Business (BusinessID, CustomerID, BusName, Territory)
2. Customer (CustomerID, Name)
3. Sales (BusinessID, CustomerID, Territory, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun)
4. Performance (this is the table I want the info in)
I've already created the table to have the following columns, BusinessID, CustomerID, BusName, Name, Territory, Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun
Every time I try to insert its not properly joining and I am getting a bunch of errors "multi-part identifier could not be bound"
insert into Performance (BusinessID, CustomerID, BusName, Name, Territory, January2018, February2018, March2018, April2018, May2018, June2018)
select Business.BusinessID, Customer.CustomerID, Business.BusName, Customer.Name, Sales.Territory, Sales.January2018, Sales.February2018, Sales.March2018, Sales.April2018, Sales.May2018, Sales.June2018
from Business A
inner join Customer B ON a.CustomerID = b.CustomerID
inner join Sales C ON b.CustomerID = c.CustomerID;
Due to this error I had to do 3 seperate insert into and that caused a bunch of nulls....
face palm is happening and could use some advice.

Thanks,

You have used table ALIASES, so you have to use those aliases in you SELECT
A for Business, B for Customer and C for Sales.
Read about ALIASES here.
select A.BusinessID, B.CustomerID, A.BusName, B.Name, C.Territory, C.January2018, C.February2018, C.March2018, C.April2018, C.May2018, C.June2018
from Business A
inner join Customer B ON a.CustomerID = b.CustomerID
inner join Sales C ON b.CustomerID = c.CustomerID;
When you create a table alias in your FROM and JOIN clauses, you need to refer to the aliases in your SELECT statement and not the actual table names.
Alternatively, leave your SELECT statement as it is, and adjust your table names to remove the alias. You'll then need the join conditions to refer to your actual table names, rather than the alias. So for example;
select Business.BusinessID, Customer.CustomerID, Business.BusName, Customer.Name, Sales.Territory, Sales.January2018, Sales.February2018, Sales.March2018, Sales.April2018, Sales.May2018, Sales.June2018
from Business
inner join Customer ON Business.CustomerID = Customer.CustomerID
inner join Sales ON Customer.CustomerID = Sales.CustomerID;
Even just try running the SELECT statement above first to make sure you get the query correct before trying it in your insert.
Im sorry if my title isnt very descriptive as i didnt know how to explain what i needed in sql code in a title.
Basically i have 2 tables, theres a submissions table which contains invoicenumber and totalexvat. (totalexvat is the sum of all the part_exvats in the livedata` table.
The livedata table contains invoicenumber, part_code and part_price
What i need to do is return all the data from the submissions table but also include ONLY the most expensive product in livedata which is the part_code and part_price joining the two tables together on invoicenumber
submissions
invoicenumber totalexvat
1 £123.00
2 £354.00
3 £453.00
livedata
invoicenumber part_code part_price
1 prt12345 £100.00
1 prt13643 £20.00
1 prt63456 £3.00
2 prt64232 £300.00
2 prt28258 £54.00
3 prt64232 £300.00
3 prt67252 £153.00
I hope i have explained it well enough and hope somebody can help me.
What I usually do is add a join condition and check that the price equals the max price for that item, using a subquery.
Something like this:
select *
from submissions s
inner join livedata l
on s.invoicenumber = l.invoicenumber
and l.part_price =
(select MAX(part_price)
from livedata
where invoicenumber = l.invoicenumber)
So, you could use a subquery to accomplish this, but there are a couple of potential problems. The subquery would look something like this:
SELECT submissions.totalexvat
,livedata.part_code
,livedata.part_price
FROM submissions
INNER JOIN
(SELECT invoicenumber
,MAX(part_price)
FROM livedata
GROUP BY invoicenumber) ld_max
ON submissions.invoicenumber = ld_max.invoicenumber
INNER JOIN livedata
ON ld_max.invoicenumber = livedata.invoicenumber
AND ld_max.part_price = livedata.part_price
In this example the "ld_max" subquery is identifying what the price for the most expensive part per invoice number. Then you go back to the livedata table and rejoin to get what the part_code is that corresponds to the price.
The potential problem with this is if you have multiple parts that have the same price, and that price is the maximum, then you are going to get both of those parts returned by the final join. If this is not the desired behaviour, (which it might be, it's not clear by the question), then you could avoid this by having a nested subquery and pulling only the top 1 result. But then you're just kind of arbitrarily taking one of the parts and excluding the other, which seems like not a great idea. It's also not a great idea because nested subqueries are by their very nature slow, so I'd watch out for those.
You should use windowing functions - ie : row_number()
select *
from
(
select submissions.totalexvat,
livedata.part_code,
livedata.part_price,
row_number() over (partition by submissions.invoicenumber order by part_price desc) rn
from
submissions
inner join livedata on submissions.invoicenumber = livedata.invoicenumber
) r
where rn = 1
I've never worked with a non-normalized database before, so I'll try and explain my problem as best I can. So I have two tables:
The customers table holds all the customers information, and the orders table holds all the orders that they have placed. I haven't listed all the fields in the tables, just the ones that I need. The customer number in both tables is not the primary key, but I'm inner joining on them anyway. So the problem I'm having is that I don't know how to make a query that:
Selects all the customers with their first name, last name, and email, and also show the most recent orderdate, most recent total, and most recent ordertype. I know that I have to use a max() aggregate for the date, but that's as far as I got. Please help a noob out.
You can try:
SELECT FirstName,
LastName,
Email,
OrderDate,
OrderTotal,
OrderType
FROM Customers AS C
INNER JOIN Order AS O
ON O.CustomerNumber = C.CustomerNumber AND
O.OrderDate = (
SELECT MAX (O1.OrderDate)
FROM Order AS O1
WHERE O1.CustomerNumber = C.CustomerNumber)
)
assuming that Orders.OrderDate is unique for each CustomerNumber, does this work for you? if a single CustomerNumber has more than one entry in Order for OrderDate, you'll get each of those rows.
select c.FirstName, c.LastName, c.Email, o.OrderDate, o.OrderTotal, o.OrderType
from Customers c
join
(select CusomterNumber, max(OrderDate) as MostRecentOrderDate
from Orders
group by CustomerNumber
) mro on mro.CustomerNumber=s.CustomerNumber
join Orders o on o.OrderDate=mro.MostRecentOrdeDate and
o.CustomerNumber=mro.CustomerNumber
Try this:
SELECT
Customers.*, Orders.*
FROM
Customers
JOIN
(SELECT
Customer_Number,
MAX(Order_Date) OrderDate
FROM
Orders
GROUP BY
Customer_Number
) as Ord ON Customers.Customer_Number = Ord.Customer_Number
JOIN Order ON Orders.Customer_Number = Ord.Customer_Number
If you are doing this with SQL Server use the query designer and basically all you want to do is do a join since you have two keys that are the same one in Customer Table ->Customer Join on Order->Customer alias the Customer table as C and Orders table as O
so for example
SELECT Customer.*, Orders.*
From Customer c, Orders O INNER JOIN O where C.Customer Number = O.Customer Number
This should be enough to get you started.. if you don't want all the fields then fully qualify the names for example
SELECT C.FirstName, C.LastName, O.OrderDate, O.OrderType FROM Customer C, Orders O
WHERE C.Customer NUmber = O.Customer Number //this is another way of doing a Join when working with the where Clause.
