Can I do this Query?

I need to create a query that returns the number of boxes required per custo
mer order. The following is an example of what I am trying to achieve
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
2 1 1
2 2 .25
Order No 1 should return a required box number of 3. Whereby Order 2 would
return a required box number of 2.
This query is driving me crazy. Can I do this?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Sarah|||Thanks Uri for your suggestion only I don't appear to get the right results
from the query. When I run the query I am getting
Order 2 Capacity 0.25
Order 1 Capacity 0.34999999
Order 2 needs to return a value of 2 and Order 1 needs to return a value of
3. I am doing something wrong here

Sarah|||Thanks Uri.
I can see where you are coming from now. I'll explain in some more detail b
ecause my original request may be a bit misleading.
If you look at the lines for Order 1 there are 3 in total.
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
For the first item on the order (Line 1) the box capacity is 75%. This basi
cally means that the item will fill 75% of 1 box. The same applies to Line
2. Line 3 takes up 35% of a box. Therefore to ship this order I need to ge
t 3 boxes (all boxes are the same size).
But if the Order details were as follows
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .25
I could fit all three products into 2 boxes. Therefore my query needs to di
splay 2.
Can I get the query to return this information?
Thanks again for your help

I need to create a query that returns the number of boxes required per custo
mer order. The following is an example of what I am trying to achieve
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
2 1 1
2 2 .25
Order No 1 should return a required box number of 3. Whereby Order 2 would
return a required box number of 2.
This query is driving me crazy. Can I do this?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Sarah|||By Order yes but not for each individual Item. The capacity will never exce
ed 1 for any item.

Thanks Uri.
I can see where you are coming from now. I'll explain in some more detail b
ecause my original request may be a bit misleading.
If you look at the lines for Order 1 there are 3 in total.
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
For the first item on the order (Line 1) the box capacity is 75%. This basi
cally means that the item will fill 75% of 1 box. The same applies to Line
2. Line 3 takes up 35% of a box. Therefore to ship this order I need to ge
t 3 boxes (all boxes are the same size).
But if the Order details were as follows
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .25
I could fit all three products into 2 boxes. Therefore my query needs to di
splay 2.
Can I get the query to return this information?
Thanks again for your help

I need to create a query that returns the number of boxes required per customer order. The following is an example of what I am trying to achieve
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
2 1 1
2 2 .25
Order No 1 should return a required box number of 3. Whereby Order 2 would return a required box number of 2.
This query is driving me crazy. Can I do this?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks Uri.
I can see where you are coming from now. I'll explain in some more detail because my original request may be a bit misleading.
If you look at the lines for Order 1 there are 3 in total.
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .35
For the first item on the order (Line 1) the box capacity is 75%. This basically means that the item will fill 75% of 1 box. The same applies to Line 2. Line 3 takes up 35% of a box. Therefore to ship this order I need to get 3 boxes (all boxes are the same size).
But if the Order details were as follows
Order No Line No Box Capacity
1 1 .75
1 2 .75
1 3 .25
I could fit all three products into 2 boxes. Therefore my query needs to display 2.
Can I get the query to return this information?

Can I do this in one SQL statement

Let's say that I have a database that has customer name, invoice date, and
amount in it. If an entry exists in this database, then the company owes us
money. I am trying to put together a report that, for each company, details
how much is owed that is 30 days out from a given date, how much is owed
that is 60 days out, 90 days out, and greater than that.
The first statement would look a lot like this:
SELECT name, sold, SUM(owed) AS AmountOwed
FROM InvOwed
WHERE (CONVERT(datetime, invdate) >= CONVERT(datetime, '4-mar-2004')) AND
(DATEADD(d, - 30, '4-mar-2004') <= CONVERT(datetime, invdate))
GROUP BY name, sold
ORDER BY name
The second statement looks like this:
SELECT name, sold, SUM(owed) AS AmountOwed
FROM InvOwed
WHERE (CONVERT(datetime, invdate) <= DATEADD(d, - 31, '4-mar-2004')) AND
(DATEADD(d, - 60, '4-mar-2004') <= CONVERT(datetime, invdate))
GROUP BY name, sold
ORDER BY name
And so on. But, then I have to cut-and-paste this into Excel, and massage
it a bit to get
Customer Amount30DaysDue Amount60DaysDue Amount90DaysDue
Is there any way to get all these in one SQL statement so I don't have to
massage the data?
Thank you.

Can I delete BAK and TRN files?

I have an implementation of SQL Server 2000 with a job to
backup a customer database. The backup works file, but
none of the old backup and transaction files are removed
after each backup, so it is consuming a lot of disk
space. I have BAK and TRN files dating back 3 months.
Before I deleted any of the old files, I wanted to make
sure I am okay to do so. Does anyone know of a problem
with manually most of these files, leaving only the most
recent week or two of backups?
Thanks,
Jason... and if the backups are created by a SQL Server maintenance plan, you can
modify it to have the files older than a specified period removed. It's on
the Complete Backup and Transaction Log Backup tabs respectively, Remove
files older than item.

Can a rollback be delayed?

Hi all, thanks for reading.

Bit of a puzzler...

A customer of ours has reported a intermittent error using one of our applications to receive some stock.

Under normal circumstances the application updates about 10 tables in a single transaction, inserting to some, updating others. After the stock receipt they print off a Crystal report against the receipt data.

The customer is saying that (very) occasionally they perform a receipt (no errors) and print off the report (no problems) yet when they come to access the data some time later it is almost as if no receipt has been made.

I have seen their data and can see what they mean. None of the expected data updates seem to have taken place. And yet there is the report sat there, indicating that it must have...

Looking closely at the data I can see breaks in the sequencing in certain identity column-carrying tables, during the period when the stock receipt was made. To all intents and purposes, therefore, it looks as though a rollback has occurred.

Is this possible? Could a Crystal report show uncommitted data which is then rolled back? How 'long' can a rollback take? Can it be initiated in some other way?

NB: We have done all the obvious things like:
- checking they have received against the correct DB;
- checking that no app or procedure can remove data in this way.
- verified that the report is reporting from the correct place.
etc.

The 'missing' data is so perfectly removed, my instinct says it must be a rollback but I can't see how this can be (yet).

All suggestions gratefully received - how could I track down whether this was occurring? Or is it my fevered imagination?

Many thanks!!!!

pmb

ps: According to our records, this customer is running SQL 7 SP3.The short answer is "it depends".

The longer (less infuriating) answer is that in order for the rollback to remove the transaction, the transaction must be open during the entire time. This will have the effect that no other SPID can access any of the modified data until the transaction is committed or rolled back (i.e. a blocking problem). OK, sounds like you knew that already, but the practical upshot of all that is that the situation you describe is technically possible provided it all happens on the same connection. If the report is generated from the exact same place (and connection) as the transaction occurred on, then it is possible if one more piece falls exactly into place. The connection must end abnormally without committing the changes. An abnormal end to a connection is generally treated as a rollback, and would explain the situation above, but as I said before, if this was the case, you would very likely see a lot more blocking problems than lost data problems.|||Thanks for the response!

The transactions in our apps are automatically bracketed by 'begin'/'commit transaction' calls as part of screen handling architecture. (ie: the user presses an on-screen button, a 'begin transaction' is fired off, the guts of the program does its SQL business and the final step then fires the 'commit transaction'). Any SQL errors encountered betweentimes are intercepted and displayed to screen (with a 'rollback transaction' performed before program abort).

To the best of my knowledge, no errors are encountered during the stock receipt process, so it looks like the commit goes ok. Following the receipt, the user then spins up our Crystal front-end and runs the relevant report. I would have thought that this Crystal report step would be treated as a completely separate SQL process and thus the report would only be able 'see' the amended data from the previous process once it was committed.

Is there some kind of 'dirty read' (or even 'dirty write') SQL setting that could be happening here? Assuming such a setting exists and is in use here, how would I find out? And how would such logic operate with a rollback?|||It is possible that Crystal Reports is connecting and setting their session to READ_UNCOMMITTED, or using nolock hints, but that would not make a lot of sense (at least to me). You should be able to find out if Crystal is doing that, by running a few Profiler traces.

My money is still on something/someone is deleting the data. It may be via Query Analyzer, rather than through your application, or even an MS Office application accessing the tables directly. From what you say about the architecture of the application, it sounds like the commit/rollback is instantaneous, and does not wait for any user interaction.|||Thanks, fellow drone. Much appreciated. I'll look into the read uncommitted side of things.

On the basis that a report *could* 'see' uncommitted data, I'm still left with the issue of why the rollback is occurring. That's my own problem of course (assuming there is no possibility of this being a SQL server-level issue).

So, a question - if I wrote a trigger to store off transaction details to a logging table (say, writing off @.@.IDENTITY) to 'prove' the reciept was taking place), if a rollback occurs on the triggering table, will my logging table updates also be rolled back?

I'm assuming the answer to the above is 'YES', so am open to suggestions on how to track the problem. (NB: Running Profiler not really an option. On average the issue occurs once a fortnight!)|||That trigger idea made me wonder about something.

create table test1
(col1 int identity (1, 1),
col2 varchar(10))

insert into test1 (col2) values ('hello')
select * from test1
begin transaction

insert into test1 (col2) values ('hi')

select * from test1

begin transaction
update test1
set col2 = 'bye'
commit transaction

select * from test1

rollback transaction
select * from test1

drop table test1

A rollback statement will rollback any transactions committed within any transaction before it. Maybe you should have something check @.@.trancount and save that to a more durable location (say a text log?) Maybe there is some problem when the planets are aligned just right, you have some transaction still going from somewhere else. Still, I would expect that to cause huge blocking problems before lost data problems.
