Re: How to Grouped Data weekly monthly and Quarterly

Create another column name DateT as a datetime field
Convert your existing date data into the DateT field
When storing date data only store the date (today) unless you need the time component (now).

If you store the time component then you cannot select on '2008-Jul-15' as the actual value may be '2008-Jul-15 04:23:11' with the time component. This will force you to use between or format whenever you use the DateT field.

Try this

SELECT TOP 100
DateT
DATEPART(d,datadate) [Day],
DATEPART(wk,datadate) [wk],
DATEPART(mm,datadate) [mth],
DATENAME(weekday,datadate)
FROM Tablename

This is an example of grouping data by year, quarter, month, week.

I know some of you will say *what a rubbish* Smile | :)

but, believe me, some people are looking at this rubbish and actually learn something.
So ... Don't say *Unhelpful Answer* Wink | ;)

Just copy and test (in SQL 2005)...

Maybe you could use this trick[^].

But the idea of an SSIS package executed every 10 seconds keeps bugging me. What kind of package is it? What does it do? Does it take less to 10 seconds to execute it?

BULK INSERT and collation problem

msx2314-Jul-08 10:56

msx23

14-Jul-08 10:56

I'm trying to use BULK INSERT to import a text file and then check its contents against a table in the database. I'm getting a problem when I compare the results however.

I'm making a temp table to hold the text file's contents

CREATE TABLE #Temp(Code varchar(5), number varchar(2))

Then using BULK INSERT to get the contents in

BULK INSERT #Temp FROM 'PATH.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',ROWTERMINATOR = '\n')

And then checking if any matches occur

SELECT Code, (CASE WHEN
				(SELECT Count(DBTable.Code) From DBTableWHERE DBTable.Code= #Temp.Code) > 0	
			 THEN "Yes"
			 ELSE "No" END) AS FLAG
From #TempCCServs

The problem is that I get the following error message now:
"Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation."

Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Re: BULK INSERT and collation problem

The two columns in the comparison differ in collation settings.

The following code applies sames collation to both sides before the comparison.
SELECT Count(DBTable.Code) From DBTable WHERE DBTable.Code collate Latin1_General_CI_AS = #Temp.Code collate Latin1_General_CI_AS

Hope that helps.

The answer before was a Monday morning answer, so I've got a better one now Big Grin | :-D

select
Convert(varchar,DateAdd(dd, -(Datepart(dw, <code>Getdate()</code>) +6), <code>GETDATE()</code>), 101) 
    As PreviousWeekStart
,Convert(varchar,DateAdd(dd, -Datepart(dw, <code>Getdate()</code>), <code>GETDATE()</code>),101) 
    As PreviousWeekEnd

You can always replace the GETDATE() that I highlighted in the dark red with another date. This one works for any day of the week.

How to write query

Hi,

My Table structure is look like this.....Code, Q1, Q2, Q3 and records are like...

Code Q1 Q2 Q3
1 Good Good Average
2 Poor Average Average
3 Good Excellent Average
4 Excellent Good Good
etc.....

I need to write a single query, which will give result look like.

Excellent Good Average Poor
Q1 1 2 0 1
Q2 1 2 1 0
Q3 0 1 3 0

Actually, this table is used to get the feedback from the users. User has given their feedback by selecting options. I need the details that how many persons answered Excellent for Question1 (Q1), Question2 (Q2), etc...As well as How many answered Good for Q1,Q2,Q3, etc....I need this format. Please help me.

SQL Server has a Pivot/Unpivot syntax, I used the unpivot for this. If your using SQL server, then this should work for you.

Select Question
,Sum(Case When Response = 'Excellent' Then 1 Else 0 End) as Excellent
,Sum(Case When Response = 'Good' Then 1 else 0 End) as Good
,Sum(Case When Response = 'Average' Then 1 Else 0 End) as Average
,Sum(Case When Response = 'Poor' Then 1 Else 0 End) as Poor
From
(Select Code, Q1, Q2, Q3
From <code>#t</code>) p 
	Unpivot
	(Response For Question In
		(Q1, Q2, Q3)) as unpvt
Group By Question

Just replace the #t (highlighted in the dark red) with your table name.
