Advice on SQL statement please.

I have a query that generates the dataset below, based on the year being
filtered I get the sum of an amount Group By the type. What I would like to
do is use the exact qry using a differnet date, to generate a third column
called Prior12Mnths. How would I use my qry to accomplish this task.
I appreciate the help.
Here's my qry:
Select GroupType, Sum(SumRevAmt) as Last12Mnths
from MyQRY
Where Period = '200006'
Group by GroupType
Type Last12Mnths_200006 Prior12Mnths_199906
Airlines 1234.50 '
Concessions 73854.00 '
etc......Russell Verdun wrote:

It's not clear from your example what this "other date" would be, so
I'll use a different example. Say I have a table containing
transactions, and each transaction consists of an account, a transaction
date, and an amount:
SELECT
account,
SUM(CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(m, transdate, GETDATE()) <= 12 THEN amount
ELSE 0) AS Last12Months,
SUM(CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(m, transdate, GETDATE()) BETWEEN 13 AND 24
THEN amount ELSE 0) AS Prev12Months
FROM table
GROUP BY account
Is that enough to get you started?|||Tracy McKibben wrote:

Sorry, those CASE statements are missing ENDs...|||Hi Russell,
I believe you could do something like this:
Select GroupType, Sum(CASE Period=200006 THEN SumRevAmt ELSE 0 END) as
Last12Mnths, Sum(CASE Period=199906 THEN SumRevAmt ELSE 0 END) as
Prior12Mnths
from MyQRY
Where Period = '200006' or Period = '199906'
Group by GroupType
I Dont know if thats the best way, but that is what first comes to
mind.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys,
constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in
your schema are. Sample data is also a good idea, along with clear
specifications. It is also helpful if the data elements have good
names.
CREATE TABLE Revenues -- guess at meaningful name
(grp_type INTEGER NOT NULL
REFERENCES GroupTypes(grp_type),
rev_amt DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL,
rev_date DATETIME NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
In the vague pseudo-code you posted, only some kind of vague date can
be a key
The best trick for this kind of summary is to build a reporting range
table
CREATE TABLE ReportRanges
(range_name CHAR() NOT NULL,
start_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
end_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
CHECK (start_date < end_date),
PRIMARY KEY (range_name, start_date));
INSERT INTO ReportRanges
VALUES ('2006-06: Prior12' , '2005-06-01', '2006-06-31' );
INSERT INTO ReportRanges
VALUES ('2006-06: ytd' , '2006-01-01', '2006-06-31' );
SELECT grp_type,
SUM (CASE WHEN R.range_name = '2006-06: ytd'
THEN rev_amt ELSE 0.00 END) AS ytd,
SUM (CASE WHEN R.range_name = '2006-06: Prior12'
THEN rev_amt ELSE 0.00 END) AS Prior12,
etc.
FROM Revenues
GROUP BY grp_type;
Adjust the table as needed.

Advanced date/time queries

I'm a new member here and love the amount of knowledge available.

1) I have a database schema and it stores repair information for phones, with columns such as ID, Phone manufacturer, model, fault, etc.What query would I have to write to get a query which returns the phone model, its manufacturer (this I know), but also a number of the amount of times that phone model has been raised in the repair table (which is every time a customer hands in a faulty phone). Do I use a count function for the phone model or is there a more efficient way?

2) Another table stores contract information with an expiry date of the contract. How can I write a query that will pick up the contracts due to expire exactly one month for today? I have looked all over the net for some resourced on writing advanced tsql queries, does anyone know of any good websites or even books on the topic?

Thanks

You could answer this using the query:

Code Snippet

select t.phone_model, t.phone_manuf, count(*) as #faults

from t

group by t.phone_model, t.phone_manuf

This can be done by using query like below:

Code Snippet

select *

from Contracts as c

where c.expiry_date >= dateadd(month, 1, convert(varchar, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 112));

The "Inside SQL Server 2005" books are good ones for learning advanced TSQL programming.

Yes, the performance is similar. You should choose between them based on
other factors.

Admin Performance Issues, Large amount of DBs

I have a large amout of dbs (150) on my SQL Server and when using the enterprise manager to do administrational tasks like Backup, Restore etc. it takes 1.5 hour to open the Database folder. Server is 2xP4, 3Gb RAM. Any ideas on how to manage this number of dbs on the same server and instance of SQL.
Cheers!Use scripts ?

-PatP|||If you can run utilities on server itself, register server as "(LOCAL)" which is local named pipes. Also make sure "Enable shared memory protocol" is checked in Client Network Utility on server.

Otherwise if you can not use server console to run utilities make sure you use TCP/IP protocol.
