Try
SELECT g.Maximum, * from Projects, (SELECT MAX(col1) as Maximum FROM projects GROUP BY project)g WHERE MAX(col1) = g.Maximum
|
|
|
|
|
it looks good, but the column project you have after group by isnt used anywhere. is it something missing before group by?
never mind about that.
I have tried the query and it results a little too much. it seems it loops for each max value and result for all row
|
|
|
|
|
You're right - it has to be like that:
SELECT g.Maximum, * from Projects, (SELECT MAX(col1) as Maximum, project FROM projects GROUP BY project)g WHERE MAX(col1) = g.Maximum
|
|
|
|
|
It still doesnt work.
It says an aggregate cant be in WHERE clause
An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference.
Tried with Having and it gives a lot other errors

Sorry my fault, i copied the wrong string:
This should be the right thing:
SELECT g.Maximum, * from Projects, (SELECT MAX(col1) as Maximum, project FROM projects GROUP BY project)g WHERE col1 = g.Maximum <br />
|
|
|
|
|
its working  , just one more thing >.<<br mode="hold" />
some rows in col1 has same value, is it possible to just have one of the values, just take from one row?
|
|
|
|
|
Add a top 1 for example to the first select-statement.
|
|
|
|
|
top 1 seems not be working good for this
I get this result, (partially), from the query you gave me
3320,9 P110101
3320,9 P110101
3220 P110102
3220 P110102
529,14 P110301
3706,2 P111501
P110102 got two rows, how do i get one of it only?
|
|
|
|
|
Add a Group by-statement to the very end of the whole query.
|
|
|
|
|
it feels like im getting annoying now
group by statement might work if i have an aggregate statement somewhere, now there isnt i cant do the group by
i am trying distinct now, but i get incorrect syntax
SELECT g.Maximum, distinct posnumber from out_pumptable, (SELECT MAX(flow_lpm) as Maximum, posnumber FROM out_pumptable GROUP BY posnumber)g WHERE flow_lpm = g.Maximum
this is actual code, posnumber is project
|
|
|
|
|
This works for me:
SELECT g.Maximum, out_pumptable.posnumber from out_pumptable, (SELECT MAX(flow_lpm) as Maximum, posnumber FROM out_pumptable GROUP BY posnumber)g WHERE flow_lpm = g.Maximum group by g.Maximum, out_pumptable.posnumber

Thanks a lot and thanks for your time. I appreciate this

I believe you need to join the table to a subset of itself.
You create a subquery that gives you the values of project and the highest col1 and attribute that to a temptable. You then join you orignal table to your temp table on the values of col1. This should do the trick!
SELECT PT.* FROM out_pumptable PT join
(select project, max(col1) as MaxVal from out_pumptable group by project) TEMPTABLE1 on TEMPTABLE1.MaxVal = PT.col1

I got a "Database Timeout" error.
I m using an MFC application with MSDE database.
What can be the reason(s) for this??
|
|
|
|
|
An operation couldn't be completed in the database in the timescale expected. Simplistically you can think of there being two potential timeouts - one when you can't connect to the database in a reasonable amount of time (known as a connection timeout) and the other when you can't complete a database operation in a reasonable amount of time (known as a command timeout).
|
|
|
|
|
But why should a database transfer take so long when transferring on a local database????
I mean what are the possibilities????
|
|
|
|
|
There are all sorts of possibilities, from slow rebuilding of indexes (every time you do an insert/update/delete) indexes are reevaluated to single action updates that should be performed as set updates.
You need to use the SQL Profiler to see what is happening on this database.

Pete,
there is another problem that i face quite often.
i transfer like 20-30 rows to the database it happens fast.
But as the database size increases(1500 rows or so), insertion of 20 rows takes 20 seconds!!!!!
my program is like :
for(i=0;i<=row_count;i++)<br />
{<br />
m_pSet->AddNew();<br />
m_pSet->Update();<br />
m_pSet->Requery();<br />
}

Is this statement absolutely necessary?

I dont have much of an idea myself. I used 'SAMS Teach yourself VC++ in 21 days' where they had given a database example(that's how i got started 1 year back).
But they did not use a 'for loop'. they were just adding one row on one click of a button.
Now even i wonder if 'Requery()' is necessary.
What if i put it outside the 'for loop' so that it executes only once?
From what it looks like in MSDN Requery() is used to Refresh the Recordset
but Update() seems to be absolutely necessary after every row is added.

Much more sensible.

True, because that's what actually commits the changes to the databse.

hi there...
I'm writing a query to check whether a user is already existing in the database so i can avoid re registering him.
i was trying to take the count of users having the same details. if its zero the user doesn't exist if one then he already registered.thats were i ran into problem. One of my fields in the form is a dropdown list. ie if the user gives the same data for the all other fields and choose a different option in the dropdown list the user can be registered as a different user. i want to avoid this. how to do?????
This is my query
create procedure sp_chkUnique
{
@rrf_id bigint,
@cand_name varchar(100),
@cand_fathername varchar(100),
@cand_dob varchar(50),
@gender varchar(50),
@cand_email varchar(200),
@cand_verification varchar(50),
@pincode varchar(10)
}
as
select count(rrf_id)
from cm_rm_tb_042
where rrf_id=@rrf_id and
cand_name=@cand_name and
cand_fathername=@cand_fathername and
cand_dob=@cand_dob and
gender=@gender and
cand_email=@cand_email and
pincode=@pincode;
its the @cand_verification field thats coming from a dropdown list.i cant jst avoid checking it either...
plz help me 
|

You aren't using @cand_verification anywhere in the select, so you should be OK. Basically, if all of the other information is present then @count will return none-zero. The rule here is that you can prevent duplicates by checking those fields that you consider will make it a duplicated record, and exclude those fields that would make it unique.
|

|

Thanks for replying...
i didn't use the @cand_verification coz i dnt knw how to use it to check the existence of the user. 
i cant jst leave that field out. i need to check that condition too.
plz help
