You need to add ORDER BY CustomerCount.NumCustomers DESC to give you the maximum first. To get only the maximum, use SELECT TOP 1 Employer.Name, etc.
SELECT TOP 1 Employer.[Name], CustomerCount.NumCustomers
FROM Employer INNER JOIN (SELECT IdEmployer, COUNT(*) AS NumCustomers
FROM CustomerEmployer
GROUP BY IdEmployer) AS CustomerCount
ON CustomerCount.IdEmployer = Employer.IdEmployer
ORDER BY CustomerCount.NumCustomers DESC

There is a specific Oracle provider that you can use. You should use the most specific provider for your database rather than one of the generic providers such as Odbc or OleDb

Hi guys,
Good Day!
My back-end in my system is MS SQL SERVER, the major scenerios here are, it performs weekly autoupdate for the database and the data is so huge.. then, evrytime its updating the transaction log is occupying more space in the drive and encounters error if i set it to restrict file growth or in uncheck automatically file growth (it says that i need to set more size for the transaction logs or else it will not perform)..
My problem here is how can i delete the tranasaction logs automatically or limit the size without encounter the error everytime i update the database, since my system does not need that?
Hope your response, guys... Thank you in advance....
regards,
JayR

Is your DB set to SIMPLE recovery model?
Do you have AUTO_SHRINK set ON?

You need to understand what the transaction log is and what it's used for. See this comment[^] and this comment[^] for details.
I ought to turn those into an article.

I have a table that has currency exchange rates as below
CCY EX_RATE RATE_DT
---- ------- -------
AED 1.1 7/31/06
AED 1.0 6/30/06
AED 1.5 5/31/06
What that means is that the exchange rate was 1.5 from 5/31 to 6/30 and is at 7/31 till eternity. What I want is the output to look like this
CCY EX_RATE START_DT END_DT
---- ------- -------- ------
AED 1.1 7/31/06 (NULL)
AED 1.0 6/30/06 7/31/06
AED 1.5 5/31/06 6/30/06
I think an self-join will give me the correct data but i am getting excessive rows when i do a join.

Asad,
This should work.
Select CCY, EX_RATE, MIN(RATE_DT) as START_DT, MAX(RATE_DT) as END_DT
From your_currency_table
Group by CCY, EX_RATE

Thanks for your reply but that doesnt work. If I have this data
CCY EX_RATE RATE_DT
---- ------- -------
AED 1.1 7/31/06
AED 1.0 6/30/06
AED 1.5 5/31/06
It will return something like
CCY EX_RATE START_DT END_DT
---- ------- ------- ------
AED 1.1 7/31/06 7/31/06
AED 1.0 6/30/06 6/30/06
AED 1.5 5/31/06 5/31/06
I want it to give me ranges like
CCY EX_RATE START_DT END_DT
---- ------- -------- ------
AED 1.1 7/31/06 (NULL)
AED 1.0 6/30/06 7/31/06
AED 1.5 5/31/06 6/30/06

I'm still getting the hang of this new tool and for the life of me, I can't remember how to add SQL procedures in the Stored Procedures folder. It keeps saving them as SQL files, but storing them as files. Man I miss the old look and feel. I finally got used to that one.

You have to run the CREATE PROCEDURE sp_XYZ query for the procedure to be created. F5 usually works for me.

D'oh! Thanks. I was always removing that CREATE function since I was copying it from my old procedures. That kinda sucks the way they did it. I much prefer the older method. F5 doesn't create it if CREATE isn't there.

using VS2005;
Can someone please help me out with this:
I have a datatable that contains several columns including "ReportDate" and "Amount". What I want to be able to do is retrieve the value from the datatable in the "Amount" column when all I know is the same rows "ReportDate" value. The "ReportDate" column is DateTime and the "Amount" column is Decimal. I know how to get this direct from the database table but not the corresponding datatable.
As part of the above answer, how do you pass a variable to the Select statement of a datatable lookup. I assume you can't use the same method of passing variables/paramaters to a SQL Statement because I can't seem to be able to do that either!

You could use DataView over your DataTable by applying a filter and then query the value for the desired column, for e.g. "Where ReportDate = '1/1/2006'".

IIRC, it is in the Server Management Studio.

There isn't one, SQL Server Management Studio replaces both Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer.
If you only have SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, you have to download Management Studio Express separately. Otherwise you have to use Server Explorer in VS, or the sqlcmd utility (a replacement for isql and osql, although osql is still supplied).

I have the developer's edition of the server. I couldn't find such a tool on the DVD. Is the management studio a "real server" only thing? I suppose that if you can download it for SQL Server Express, there ought to be one available for the developer's edition. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hey, TiVo! Suggest this!

There's a checkbox for it in the installer: select 'Workstation components'. It's not checked by default.

I'm pretty sure I checked everything except all the buzzword stuff (data mining, reporting, etc).
