This is actually a history table...which will have all insert, update and delete operations recorded...this works through a trigger...
so for every update there will be a new row added to the table...
So now I have old name and updated name as different rows...i need to get both names together in a query...can be selected using empId and modified date...

You can if you have say a datemodified column
select id, newname,oldname
from emp e1
left outer join emp e2 on e2.id = e1.id
and e2.datemodified = (select max(datemodified) from emp e3 where e3.id = e2.id
and e3.datemodified < e2.datemodified)
I might have a bit wrong here, as I don't have sql server on this PC so can't test, but you get the idea - find the same id where the datemodified is the latest date for this id BUT less than the current record, using an out join as presumably not every record will have been changed.
Hope this helps

got it...awesome...
there was a small change though...last clause should be e3.datemodified < e1.datemodified
select id, newname,oldnamefrom emp e1left outer join emp e2 on e2.id = e1.idand e2.datemodified = (select max(datemodified) from emp e3 where e3.id = e2.idand e3.datemodified < e1.datemodified)
Thanks a lot...

SELECT AGE_CATEGORY, SUM(MALES) AS MALES, SUM(FEMALES) AS FEMALES
(SUM(FEMALES)/ (SUM(MALES)+SUM(FEMALES))) * 100
FROM AGE_CATS GROUP BY AGE_CATEGORY
Is that what you are looking for?

Thank you guys

In a single select this will do it:
SELECT AGE_CATEGORY, SUM(MALES) AS MALES, SUM(FEMALES) AS FEMALES,
convert(float,(sum(males) + sum(females))) * 100 / (SELECT SUM(MALES) + SUM(FEMALES) FROM AGE_CATS) as PCent
FROM AGE_CATS GROUP BY AGE_CATEGORY
However it would be better to do
DECLARE @tot float
select @tot = SUM(MALES) + SUM(FEMALES) FROM AGE_CATS
SELECT AGE_CATEGORY, SUM(MALES) AS MALES, SUM(FEMALES) AS FEMALES ,
convert(float,(sum(males) + sum(females))) * 100 / @tot as Pcent
FROM AGE_CATS GROUP BY AGE_CATEGORY
hope this helps

can you give structure of tables you are talking about and structure of output you need?
|
|
|
|
|
You might want to have a google and look at recursive common table expressions (CTE) (if you're on SQL2005).
|

OK, here is the deal. I've got a table with 2 columns: "ID"(int), "Name"(string). "ID" - is a unique key field used in relations with other tables, but the values of the "Name" should be unique as well. I need to add more data into this table, but not to create some duplicate information.
I know about INSERT DISTINCT, but I am not using an SQL command, instead I use a VS generated TableAdapter (in my case it is named "companiesTableAdapter"). Here is a small code snippet:
this.companiesTableAdapter.Insert("XYZ Company");
this code does insert the string into a table, but it doesn't care if "XYZ Company" is already there.
(the DB itself is created in Access2003, if this may be helpful)
If someone has done something similar, I would really appreciate their help.

First check if that name exists, in case if exists then don't insert otherwise do insert.
example:
if(select count(name) from tablename where name='value')=0 <br />
begin<br />
insert into tablename values ('idvalue','namevalue')<br />
end<br />

You can add an unique index on the name column.
|
|
|
|

How can I do that? (Add a unique numerical index to a column)
|
|
|
|
|
Simply really
Create unique index fred on myTable(myColumn)

Hi all,
I need to be able to allow characters like (') into a column in MYSQL, I have tried using 'text' and 'blob' but both of these seem to reject any inserts. the only way I found is to place a backslash infront of the character (\').
The only problem Is the application will be public and I will not be able to explain this to every user.
oh, also using fckeditor to forat text.
Any ideas?
Really appreciate your thoughts.
D.
