I have the following query in my own photo database:
select distinct left(Nr, 8) as Date, Ort from Fotos where Typ='D' order by left(Nr, 8) desc, Ort
Where Nr is a unique string with date + a hyphen + a sequential number in the form yyyymmdd-xxx. Ort is a string, the location of the photo.
This works fine so far and I get a list like this:
20220717 Lindabrunn, Symposion
20220717 Feistritzsattel
20220717 Pernitz, Schärfthal
20220715 Mannswörth
20220715 Wienerbergteich
20220715 Zentralfriedhof
20220712 V
20220710 Himberg
But what I really want is the first Nr for a date and a location like this:
20220717-001 Lindabrunn, Symposion
20220717-045 Feistritzsattel
20220717-103 Pernitz, Schärfthal
20220715-001 Mannswörth
20220715-009 Wienerbergteich
20220715-033 Zentralfriedhof
20220712-001 V
20220710-001 Himberg
Can someone help? Thanks

Assuming SQL Server, try something like this:
WITH cteOrderedData As
(
SELECT
Nr,
Ort,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Left(Nr, 8), Ort ORDER BY Nr) As RN
FROM
Fotos
WHERE
Type = 'D'
)
SELECT
Nr,
Ort
FROM
cteOrderedData
WHERE
RN = 1
;

Do you really need something as complex as a CTE? Couldn't you simply do the following (off the top of my head, not tested; so caveat emptor):
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT
Nbr,
Ort
FROM
Fotos
WHERE
Type = 'D'
ORDER BY
SUBSTRING(Nbr, 1, 8) DESC,
Ort
|

The problem is that the OP wants to extract the first record for each unique 8-character prefix, whereas your code will return all records for each prefix.
For example, given the input data:
| Nbr | Ort |
|--------------|-----|
| 20220717-001 | A |
| 20220717-002 | B |
| 20220717-003 | C | Your code would return all three, whereas the OP only wants the first one.

Thanks. I hadn't realised that. OP's sample output has multiple 20220717 dates (minus the suffixes) in it, so I had read it as 'sort all by date + Ort, ignoring the sequence no after the date'/

Received a solution that has built in .sql script files to create tables and even a stored procedure....
I have built plenty of DataTable structures and used StreamReader to fill the table with csv data. I even use XML to build schemas and import data into DataTables. but, I have never used scripting to build a data structure before.
The solution has Dapper as a dependency but, again, I am not a big time EF developer... Any suggestions how to get the .sql into a DataSet or a DataTable or both would be greatly appreciated.
I have scoured all sorts of sources to give me a concrete example to no avail. When I view the .sql in VS it displays the designer similar to Access.

An .SQL file is just a text file with SQL statements in it.
You can execute them in C# just like you do for any other query. Just read the file and load the text into a variable and pass that as your statement to an SqlCommand.

I have a table with the following schema:
DECLARE @images TABLE
(
[Id] BIGINT NOT NULL,
[UserId] NVARCHAR(450) NOT NULL,
[VehID] BIGINT NOT NULL,
[VehImage] VARBINARY(MAX) NULL
); There are no exactly 10 rows per user. Currently, all VehImage columns are null (intentionally).
Here is my sql query (@images is a table variable that I pre-populate with the desired records):
SELECT UserId,VehID
,[Image1],[Image2],[Image3],[Image4],[Image5]
,[Image6],[Image7],[Image8],[Image9],[Image10]
FROM (
SELECT UserId
,VehID
,VehImage
FROM @images
) AS SourceTable
PIVOT (
Count(VehImage)
FOR VehImage IN ([Image1],[Image2],[Image3]
,[Image4],[Image5],[Image6]
,[Image7],[Image8],[Image9]
,[Image10])
) AS PivotTable; I have the pivot working, in that I get exactly one row back with the expected UserId, and VehId, and 10 image columns. My problem is that the Image columns all have the value 0 instead of the expected null .
What am I doing that would cause that?
EDIT ----------------------------------------
I changed the aggregate function from count to max , and all of the images are now showing null as expected. I don't know yet if that's the ultimate solution.
EDIT #2 -------------------------------------
Nope, I plugged a fake value into the first image record, and all of the image columns are still coming back as null...

FOR VehImage IN (...) If all of the VehImage values are Null , they won't match the IN filter.
And it seems odd to be pivoting on the same column you're aggregating.
What are you actually trying to do?

i want to return a row that has all of the users images in it.

Maybe something like this?
WITH cte As
(
SELECT
UserId,
VehId,
VehImage,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId, VehId ORDER BY Id) As RN
FROM
@images
)
SELECT
UserId,
VehId,
[1] As Image1,
[2] As Image2,
[3] As Image3,
[4] As Image4,
[5] As Image5,
[6] As Image6,
[7] As Image7,
[8] As Image8,
[9] As Image9,
[10] As Image10
FROM
cte As SourceTable
PIVOT
(
Max(VehImage)
FOR RN IN ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10])
) As PivotTable
; Or without the pivot:
WITH cte As
(
SELECT
UserId,
VehId,
VehImage,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId, VehId ORDER BY Id) As RN
FROM
@images
)
SELECT
UserId,
VehId,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 1 THEN VehImage END) As Image1,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 2 THEN VehImage END) As Image2,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 3 THEN VehImage END) As Image3,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 4 THEN VehImage END) As Image4,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 5 THEN VehImage END) As Image5,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 6 THEN VehImage END) As Image6,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 7 THEN VehImage END) As Image7,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 8 THEN VehImage END) As Image8,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 9 THEN VehImage END) As Image9,
MAX(CASE RN WHEN 10 THEN VehImage END) As Image10
FROM
cte As SourceTable
GROUP BY
UserId,
VehId
;

They both worked great, but I went with the non-pivot version. Thanks, man.

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
