I have two tables
With this query i got the results
select countries.id, countries.name, Towns.id,Towns.TownName
from
Countries
left outer join Towns on countries.id = towns.countryID
Now i want to group results by country to get something like this on my CrystalReport. Is it even possible to make it ?
In the example you have provided, doing a GROUP BY in Sql Server would not be desirable. A Sql GROUP BY is generally used to project single scalar values from a list in each group, e.g.
SELECT Countries.Name, Count(Towns.Id) AS NumberOfTowns, Sum(Towns.Population) AS TotalPop
FROM Countries
LEFT OUTER JOIN Towns
ON Countries.Id = Towns.CountryID
GROUP BY Countries.Name;
Would give results like
Name NumberOfTowns TotalPop
Bosnia 2 123456
England 2 98765
by applying the Aggregates COUNT and SUM to all rows (Towns) in each country.
This isn't going to be useful for your report, as you need to show a list of all towns per country.
What you want instead is to use your current query as-is, and then to apply a Crystal Group Header on Countries.Name. Then, in Crystal, remove the Countries.Name field from the Details section (since you don't want the country repeated). You'll possibly also want some ordering done in the groups and data - again, I would suggest you do this in Crystal (although an ORDER BY Countries.Name, Towns.TownName would also work).
You'll then have a report which resembles your requirement.

I have a form linked to a sql database. In the database I have a column called "value" and a column called "field_id". When someone send entries, the "value" column shows the values and the "field_id" column shows id number of the field.
The fields are:
-Mobile Phone number
-Promo Code
Is there a way to create a list selecting all the mobile phone number with a specific promo code?
I can't change the form input logic. It's about WPForms plugin for WordPress.
Ok, in WPForms the form entry values are saved in it's own table called wpforms_entry_fields.
We should have a query that would SELECT all the rows with the phone numbers (WHERE field_id = 6 in your case) and then JOIN the rows (basically creating a single row that looks like a pair of 2 rows glued together) by a common reference entry_id so we can filter those joined rows by the conditions we want.
We are getting the same table under two different names by using an INNER JOIN so phone numbers without a code (and codes without a phone number) will not be taken into account.
See more about how INNER JOIN works here: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join_inner.asp
The SQL query goes something like this:
SELECT phones.value
FROM wpforms_entry_fields AS phones
INNER JOIN wpforms_entry_fields AS codes
ON phones.entry_id = codes.entry_id
WHERE phones.field_id = 6
AND codes.field_id = 5
AND codes.value = 'your_desired_code_here'
What the query does:
it gets all the phone numbers from the meta table
it joins each number with the value of the code from the same entry (that's why we need entry_id)
it filters the values with 'your_desired_code_here'
You can also try SELECT * instead of the first line to see how the rows get joined.
I am trying to get a total summation of both the ItemDetail.Quantity column and ItemDetail.NetPrice column. For sake of example, let's say the quantity that is listed is for each individual item is 5, 2, and 4 respectively. I am wondering if there is a way to display quantity as 11 for one single ItemGroup.ItemGroupName
The query I am using is listed below
select Location.LocationName, ItemDetail.DOB, SUM (ItemDetail.Quantity) as "Quantity",
ItemGroup.ItemGroupName, SUM (ItemDetail.NetPrice)
from ItemDetail
Join ItemGroupMember
on ItemDetail.ItemID = ItemGroupMember.ItemID
Join ItemGroup
on ItemGroupMember.ItemGroupID = ItemGroup.ItemGroupID
Join Location
on ItemDetail.LocationID = Location.LocationID
Inner Join Item
on ItemDetail.ItemID = Item.ItemID
where ItemGroup.ItemGroupID = '78' and DOB = '11/20/2019'
GROUP BY Location.LocationName, ItemDetail.DOB, Item.ItemName,
ItemDetail.NetPrice, ItemGroup.ItemGroupName
If you are using SQL Server 2012 , you can use the summation on partition to display the
details and aggregates in the same query.
SUM(SalesYTD) OVER (ORDER BY DATEPART(yy,ModifiedDate)),1)
Link :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/sum-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
We can't be certain without seeing sample data. But I suspect you need to remove some fields from you GROUP BY clause -- probably Item.ItemName and ItemDetail.NetPrice.
Generally, you won't GROUP BY a column that you are applying an aggregate function to in the SELECT -- as in SUM(ItemDetail.NetPrice). And it is not very common, in my experience, to GROUP BY columns that aren't included in the SELECT list - as you are doing with Item.ItemName.
I think you need to go back to basics and read about what GROUP BY does.
First of all welcome to the overflow...
Second: The answer is going to be "It depends"
Any time you aggregate data you will need to Group by the other fields in the query, and you have that in the query. The gotcha is what happens when data is spread across multiple locations.
My suggestion is to rethink your problem and see if you really need these other fields in the query. This will depend on what the person using the data really wants to know.
Do they need to know how many of item X there are, or do they really need to know that item X is spread out over three sites?
You might find you are better off with two smaller queries.
I've only had a (frustrating) couple days experience with SQL Server, and I need some help, since I cant find anything related to my question when searching.
For background info, I'm working in an accountancy, and right now I'm trying to create a table for balance statements to use in crystal reports. Each invoice has multiple items, but for the statement I need to sum them all up with the invoice reference being the information that links the group of data that needs to be summarised.
So, what I need is to pull information from one table (dbo.SalesInvItems), this information including the date (InvDate), the due date (InvDueDate), and the customer name (CustomerName). This information stays the same with the Invoice Reference (InvRef), and it's what I want to use to link the two tables.
For example, Invoice Reference: 1478 will always have the date 14/05/18, the due date: 14/06/18 and the customer name: Pen Sellers Ltd.
The same Invoice Reference is used by multiple rows, but the only thing that changes (that I need) is the Invoice Item Total (InvItemTotal).
For example, the one reference will always be addressed to Pen Sellers, but one item has the Total as £13 and another item using the same reference is £20.
The Invoice Item Total is what I need to sum up. I want to add all the Invoice Item Total's together that have the same Invoice Reference, while joining the tables.
Sales Invoices
So when I've inserted the references into the table (sorry they're not the same in both pictures, I was having problems making examples and I made a mistake), I want to grab the information from the Invoice table to fill it in, going from this...
Pre Solution
To this...
Desired Result
The desired location is a table called dbo.Statement.
1.Is this even possible to do?
2.How would I go about doing this?
3.Is there a method I could use that would make sure that every time I insert an Invoice Reference into the Statement table, it would automatically pull out the data needed from the Invoice Table?
If any additional information is needed, just say and I'll do my best to provide it, I have never asked a question on here before and I'm new to SQL Server and coding in general.
Im using SQL Server Management Tool 2017

The Problem
I'm building an SSRS report which requires regular group headings on certain rows. The data returned from the database query includes a column with a bit flag indicating which rows need to be treated as group subheadings.
Here's a snippet of the source data:
Note the IsGroupHeading column, where the flag is set to 1 on the first row ("0401").
I want to produce output which looks like this Excel mockup:
So every time the report encounters a row where IsGroupHeading equals 1, it generates a bold group heading row followed by a row with column headings.
What's Happening
I've tried creating a row group in SSRS with the expression =Fields!IsGroupHeading.Value = 1 but I get unexpected results: (1) Only the first group heading is treated specially, and (2) the group heading row is repeated underneath the heading. The result looks like this:
Notice that the "0401" row is repeated under the group heading. In addition, only the first group heading ever gets this special treatment. The report simply ignores subsequent group headings and renders them as normal data rows.
The Question
I've spent hours trying to get this right and this is the closest I've been able to get it and my googling on row groups turns up pages mostly about creating subtotals, so I'm throwing this one out to the community hoping some SSRS experts can help me with this.
I'm going to assume that you're doing this in SQL and that all tariff numbers start with the group header tariff number (in this case, 0401).
Let's say your SQL currently looks like this:
SELECT TariffNumber, RowDescription, TariffRate, IsGroupHeading
FROM Tariffs
What we want to do is join this table on itself to give the group TariffNumber and RowDescription columns on each row to enable us to group on it. We also want to exclude the GroupHeader Tariff from the Details rows. So we get something like this:
SELECT TariffGroup.TariffNumber AS GroupNumber, TariffGroup.RowDescription AS GroupDescription,
TariffDetail.TariffNumber, TariffDetail.RowDescription, TariffDetail.TariffRate
FROM Tariffs AS TariffDetail
INNER JOIN Tariffs AS TariffGroup ON TariffGroup.TariffNumber = Left(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, CharIndex(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, '.')-1) AND TariffDetail.IsGroupHeader = 0
Now you just need to group on GroupNumber and you're done.
I want to have a view for each table (letters, filings, notes) which each have a name and date. I want to have a separate view for items from each table that also fall into a particular category -- say categoryx -- so it is a separate view. The categoryx view would combine particular fields from each of the multiple tables into one table, in effect, ordered by date.
E.g.,
Category x
DATE NAME ORIGTABLE
1/2/11 SmithToJones Letters
1/3/11 Filing on X Filings
1/4/11 Note re X Notes
1/7/11 JonesToSmith Letters
I'm just stumped on whether there is a good or straightforward way to do this. Open to options. Thanks
I think I have the answer, though it's not perfect. I do this in the controller (may try it in the model next):
$query='select name,date, "letters" as "origtable" from letters
UNION SELECT name,date, "filings" as "origtable" from filings
UNION SELECT name,date, "notes" as "origtable" from notes
ORDER BY date';
$things=$this->Letter->query($query);
$this->set('items',$things);
This gets me an array I can parse out. If I add id to it, then I can easily create links to the relevant item in the relevant table.
