I am doing a Result Analysis project for my college. So basically students will enter the grades that they have obtained for various subjects. If they fail for an exam and take the exam again they need to enter the details of that as well.
For the result, we have to find the list of students who passed for a subject in the first attemt, second attempt upto the nth attempt...What will be an efficient Database design for this problem? What tables should be created and what data should be stored in each?
Please help...struggling with this for the past few weeks

Consider taking some graph paper and drawing out what your student grade records will look like. Use that as a starting point to design how you will set up one or more tables in a database.

Thank you to those who gave suggestions!! I have successfully solved the problem and completed my project!

I don't know how to write this PL/SQL in oracle, thanks for your advice.
Because the amount of data in the table is large, it is not suitable to find the max PDate and then compare it from the source table.
Table data:
Process PDate Status
100 2022/05/21 19:58:03 0
100 2022/05/22 07:01:00 0
100 2022/05/22 13:01:10 1
101 2022/05/22 08:23:39 0
101 2022/05/22 10:17:39 0
101 2022/05/22 17:49:39 1
102 2022/05/22 13:14:48 0
Requirement: Get the status of the last record of different processes on 2022/05/22
Select result:
Process PDate Status
100 2022/05/22 13:01:10 1
101 2022/05/22 17:49:39 1
102 2022/05/22 13:14:48 0

First filter by PDate = datevariable, order by PDate Descending. Select the top 1 record.

Hello everybody,
It is true that is not a good idea use store procedure actually?
I mean, a) Not a good idea use it in sql
and b) Using o call store procedure in a programming language?
it is so: What is the best way?
|
|
|
|
|
No. Using stored procedures is perfectly fine, and is often preferable to embedding queries directly in your application code.
Whoever told you it's not a good idea clearly doesn't know what they're talking about.

This is something I found some of the younger generation like to promote, put all your logic and processing in the business layer, make the database purely a storage facility. The argument is that you can spawn more processes from the BL to support growth.
IMHO this is utter and absolute bullshit! Databases are optomised to support data PROCESSING as well as storage, that processing is done by stored procedures.
We once did a test, I wrote a SP and a rather brilliant junior wrote a C# process to do the same long running process, the DB was dramatically faster.

Where that typically means one or more of the following.
1. They are inexperienced.
2. They have no idea how to solve problems that show up
3. They have no expectation that problems will even show up.
4. They have no intention of being the one tasked with fixing the problems.

I have a MySQL table with start and end dates.
E.g rows like this:
start | end
2022-03-01 | 2022-04-10
2021-12-01 | 2022-03-11
2022-01-01 | 2022-04-05
...
I want to count how many of the days in those ranges (all rows) were in April 2022 for instance.
The first record has 10 days in April, the third record has 5 days in April, so the result should be 15.

So what ideas have you considered so far?

As you have not shared your attempt at solving this for yourself, nor responded to Craig, I am only going to give you hints to a possible solution. For my test data I used this
declare @demo table (startdate date, enddate date)
insert into @demo (startdate, enddate) values
('2022-03-01', '2022-04-10'),
('2021-12-01', '2022-03-11'),
('2022-01-01', '2022-04-05'); I also hard-coded the start and end dates for the month I am interested in
declare @1stDay date = '2022-04-01';
declare @LastDay date = '2022-04-30'; I then wrote some sql that would convert the dates I had on the table to only those that fell into the month I am looking at. E.g. Something like this
select startdate, enddate
,case when startdate < @1stDay then @1stDay
when startdate > @lastDay then @LastDay
else startdate end as AmendedStartDate
,case when enddate < @1stDay then @1stDay
when enddate > @LastDay then @LastDay
else enddate end as AmendedEndDate
from @demo; I then used those Amended dates in a datediff calculation to get the number of days in each range that fell in April 2022.
This approach is flawed - in that I get 9, 0 and 4 as the results instead of 10, 0, 5. I will leave that as an exercise for you to sort out. I also coded this in MSSQL so you may need to make minor syntactical changes

Given:
1) Developing a WebService on a DMZ server which will connect back to corporate SQL2019 server.
2) There are lots of other databases on this server, however there will be only one database (DB_X) which these WebServices need to interact.
3) Assume user, WEBAPI_USER, is created.
Also executed: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO WEBAPI_USER;
4) Now, that user cannot see any databases via MS SQL Server Studio, not even the DB_X database which has been granted access
Note: Kind of crazy because if you run the query: SELECT * FROM SYSOBJECTS WHERE XTYPE = 'U', you will get a full list of all the tables. If done some research on this and it appears that WEBAPI_USER would need to become the owner of the databaase to see it in MSSS.
Question: What is everyone else doing to create a limited access MS-SQL user ?
Thank you in advance.

Your description seems to be going backwards.
What you should be doing.
First create the user.
Second give it access to the specific database.
Until you give it access it should not be able to do anything. Which is why your description seems off. Seems to suggest that you created it with access to everything and now you want to restrict that access. So whatever you did to create it in the first place is wrong.

My database tbl_user has the following columns :
| User_id | Upline | Right_id | Left_id |
+--------+---------+----------+---------+
| 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 2 | 0 | 6 | 5 |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| 6 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| 7 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+--------+---------+----------+---------+
$user_id = 2;
$user_tree = $this->getAllRec("u.user_id",
"tbl_user u",
"WHERE u.Upline = '".$user_id."'
ORDER BY Right_id ASC");
print_r($user_tree);
I want the array `$user_tree` to hold (user_id 5) first, then (user_id 6), how to do that?
I want to print **Left_id** first, then only print **Right_id**. May I know how to do it?
Do I need to use left join or use another query?

Firstly - take note of the previous comment about SQL Injection!
Quote: I want the array `$user_tree` to hold (user_id 5) first, then (user_id 6), how to do that? Then you need to order your results by [user_id] e.g.
select *
from @demo
where upline = 2
order by [User_id]; Quote: I want to print **Left_id** first, then only print **Right_id**. May I know how to do it? I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, but it sounds like you want the columns in a different order in your result. In the example above I used select * - that is not actually good practice. It is much better to list the columns that you want, in the order that you want them - this helps protect any code that is using the results from any subsequent changes to the table schema, such as adding a new column.
However, if you mean you want to sort by one column within the "grouping" of another column then you simply add a list of things to sort by.
This example covers both the scenarios above
select Left_id,Right_id
from @demo
order by Upline, [User_id]; If you meant something else then reply to this solution and I will try to help

I'm writing a function which will join two collections and two filters for each.
public class Teacher
{
public string Id{ get; set; }
public string Name{ get; set; }
public string TeacherFilter{ get; set; }
...
}
public class Student
{
public string Id{ get; set; }
public string Name{ get; set; }
public string StudentFilter{ get; set; }
public string TeacherId{ get; set; }
...
}
public class TeacherStudents
{
public string Id{ get; set; } -- from teacher
public string Name{ get; set; } -- from teacher
public IEnumerable<Student> Students{get;set;}
}
public class TeacherStudents
{
public string Id{ get; set; } -- from teacher
public string Name{ get; set; } -- from teacher
public IEnumerable<Student> Student{get;set;}
}
public class TeacherStudent
{
public string Id{ get; set; } -- from teacher
public string Name{ get; set; } -- from teacher
...
public Student Student{get;set;}
}
Get(string TeacherFilter,string StudentFilter).
Here is how i implement it
var query = teacherCollection.Aggregate().Match(x => x.TeacherFilter== TeacherFilter);
var query1 = query
.Lookup<Teacher, Student, TeacherStudent>(studentCollection, t => t.Id, s => s.TeacherId, l => l.Student)
.Unwind(x => x.Student, new AggregateUnwindOptions<TeacherStudent>())
.Match(x => x.StudentFilter== StudentFilter)
For the teacher collection, useless data has been filter out which will reduce the data size when doing the lookup(join). But for the student collection, the match stage is appended after the lookup. so does all the data from student will join with teacher behind the scenes? is it possible to filter out some student data before the lookup?

You posted it less than 12 hours ago. Half the world won't have woken up and had a chance to to read it yet.
And since questions here are answered by volunteers, nobody is under any obligation to answer it at all, let alone within a defined time limit.

i wanna ask.
i forgot my MySQL root password, so i tried to fix it based from this link:
MySQL :: MySQL and Windows :: 4 Resetting the Root Password: Windows Systems[^]
but it still doesn't work and there's few messages, but there's 1 error msg, i.e.:
Failed to set datadir to 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data\' (OS errno: 2 - No such file or directory)
in addition, there's also a warning i.e.:
Can't create test file C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data\mysqld_tmp_file_case_insensitive_test.lower-test
any1 know how to fix this issue..?
|
|
|
|
|
And does the directory 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data\' actually exist?
|
|
|
|
|
no. but the questions is:
1. why it make such error..? (e.g. tries to access non-exist folder)
2. why it doesn't create the folder by itself..?
3. should the folder created manually..? since it didn't mentioned anything in the article about that folder or even error-handling if it occurred
