    SQL 2005 Problem with pivot - could be because is varchar of date?

    Fee, I'm sure George will offer the full explanation; ISTR that datetimes are held as two integers; days after 1st Jan 1900 and then 300ths/second after midnight, so you're right to convert a datetime to a varchar for pivoting. Since convert format 6 always gives 2 characters for the day part...

    VB read Peachtree files

    AFAIK, Sage 50 is not a SQL database, and your title suggests involvement of VisualBasic, so I'm not sure what help you might get in the SQL server programming forum - have you tried the VBA area or even Sage fora like SageCity? If you're in NA, here's one link -...

    add minus every 5 characters

    ...the string - perhaps make it a function to call? example: DECLARE @string as varchar(max), @loop as int SET @string = '1234567890123456789' SET @loop = LEN(@string)/5 WHILE @loop > 0 BEGIN SET @string = STUFF(@string,1+(@loop*5),0,'-') SET @loop = @loop-1 END SELECT @string soi là, soi carré

    Evaluating the alias

    I missed seeing the repetition of Hydrodate in the query, although I suspect George may be offering up something shortly. SELECT DateAdd(yyyy, SCBABottles.HydroInterval, (SELECT Max(SCBAHydro.HydroDate) from SCBAHydro where SCBABottles.BottleID = SCBAHydro.BottleID) ) As HydroDue ...

    Inserting Data from a 'WITH' statement

    Brian, It's merely an issue of ordering your statements; the Update or Insert needs to follow the common table expresssion. ;with A as (SELECT ....) INSERT into #temp SELECT * from A soi là, soi carré

    Evaluating the alias

    If it's just one piece of data, and you've only one record per item in table "SCBABottles", then how about going with a subquery and losing the need to group? SELECT DateAdd(yyyy, SCBABottles.HydroInterval, (SELECT Max(SCBAHydro.HydroDate) from SCBAHydro where SCBABottles.BottleID =...

    move where statement

    Hmmm - I don't think that last code is right; add in a record 29.75, 12345, 29/09/13 and that will show as the latest date for 34.00 Try this modification: select MAX(DocDate) as LastDate, t.price as MaxPrice from @T t join ( select MAX(Price) as price from @T where Item= '12345' ) d...

    Scheduled daily report does not run on Saturdays and Sundays

    Ian, I'd want to be checking that the machine is running at the time that the job has been scheduled; can you be certain that there's not a weekend restart job that co-incides? Event log on the machine is a place to start, but your plan of a time-change is sound. Scheduler itself may be getting...

    IMR Data output shown differently on different PCs

    Could it be due to different styles/formats in the Impromptu configuration files on the client machines? I'd start with comparing the "impromptu.ini" (cer5>data>bin) files. soi là, soi carré

    Scheduled daily report does not run on Saturdays and Sundays

    Ian, You're welcome. By asking "which product", I was hoping to learn whether it was ReportNet, Impromptu, PowerPlay, Visualizer, etc. Working on the basis that it is either Impromptu or PowerPlay, and assuming that 7.5 is not greatly different to the 7.4 that I last used, I'd suggest that the...

    Automatic report generation on a monthly basis

    Ian, This is not only possible, but anticipated by Cognos. You can use Cognos Scheduler in conjunction with Cognos Script (VBA-like).

    Whilst echoing bborissov's comment, can you also indicate why simple grouping and aggregate functions will not give you the required output? SELECT [Sets], [Lots], MIN([Dates])as Earliest_Date, MAX([Dates]) as Latest_Date FROM My_Table GROUP BY [Sets], [Lots] ORDER BY [Sets], [Lots] soi là...
