I am a student on placement and I have created a database for a company. This database contains customer details, enquiries, orders and product details. I used joining 'line' tables to solve the many-to-many relationship between some tables but now i am having trouble using them. I have an enquiry table and an enquiry line table, now i am trying to create a web application with a form for the user to add a new enquiry to the database so it can be searched, updated or deleted. I have tried a few things but i am getting more and more confused about how to do this as information needs to be added, updated etc from both tables.

I m using ASP/Dreamweaver/SQL Server. (I realise now it would have been better to use Visual Studio but the projetc is too far along now to change)

If anyone had any ideas they would be greatly apprieciated!!!

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm having some problems with joins in SQL. I hope someone here can help me out a little bit. I'm using MS SQL 2000 Server.

I have the following tables & data:

Table: tUsers

7        3                documentD7
8        2                documentD8

What I want to achieve is the following (in one query):
  • Get the id's of the contacts that are users (not all contacts are users) and belong to location 1
  • Display a list of all the contact-users, along with the number of documents "A", documents "B", documents "C", and documents "D" that each contact has created.

So basically, the output I'm trying to get should look something like this:

name        Doc_A        Doc_B        Doc_C        Doc_D
------------------------------------------------------------
contact2        1        5        0        4
contact5        4        1        2        2
contact8        2        0        1        0

I'm using the following query, but for some reason, it seems to be multiplying some values, so I'm not getting the right numbers:

SELECT tContacts.name, COUNT(tDocumentsA.id) AS 'Doc_A', COUNT(tDocumentsB.id) AS 'Doc_B', COUNT(tDocumentsC.id) AS 'Doc_C', COUNT(tDocumentsD.id) AS 'Doc_D'
FROM tUsers LEFT OUTER JOIN
        tContacts ON tContacts.id = tUsers.contact_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
        tDocumentsA ON tDocumentsA.user_id = tUsers.contact_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
        tDocumentsB ON tDocumentsB.user_id = tUsers.contact_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
        tDocumentsC ON tDocumentsC.user_id = tUsers.contact_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
        tDocumentsD ON tDocumentsD.user_id = tUsers.contact_id
WHERE (tUsers.location = '1')
GROUP BY tContacts.name

The query above gives me the following (unwanted) result:

name        Doc_A        Doc_B        Doc_C        Doc_D
-----------------------------------------------------------
contact2        20        20        0        20
contact5        16        16        16        16
contact8        2        0        2        0

I'm not very used to working with Joins, so I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong with my query.

I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

Ok I have a field that is type money. I wrote a stored procedure that updates this field, however, I made the datatype for the parameter to get passed in a decimal instead. It was working fine for a while in the development environment. Then we restored the dev from a backup of production. I created the stored procedure the same as it was before, but now it is rounding off the field to the nearest whole number? I'm guessing it is a setting somewhere, but I can't imagine what.

Any ideas?

Like I said, this isn't an emergency, because I've already fixed it by changing the parameter in the stored proc to a money

Would someone be kind to give me some help please?

your task is to make a stored procedure that will only billcustomers making monthly payments higher than $500.A Customer can have multiple Plans (services for which they pay amonthly fee).

You have to execute a billing procedure for each single active planunder an eligible customer account. Eligible customer account is anaccount that makes estimated monthly payment higher than $500.

You are given 2 tables, "Customers" and "Plans". Table "Customers" has columns: CustomerID, EmailAddressTable "Plans" has columns: PlanID, CustomerID, MonthlyPrice, isClosed,NextBillDate

Also, you are given two stored procedures named "Bill_Plan" and"Send_Email". All stored procedures returns 0 upon success and negativenumber upon failure.The "Bill_Plan" actually bills a customer for a plan. The storedprocedure takes one input parameter and have one output parameter.

Bill_Plan
@nPlanID = @PlanID,
@dtNewBillDate = @NextBillDate output

You have to use the output parameter @NextBillDate to updatePlans.NextBillDate with its new value.

Upon successful billing you have to send en email to the customer'semail address. The "Send_Email" stored procedure takes two inputparameters.
Send_Email
@sEmailAddress = @EmailAddress,
@sSubject = 'Your Invoice is Ready'
You have to rollback any single billing transaction upon any kind offailure and continue billing the remaining plans. (Important!!!)

I'm having a little problem in witting an SQL statement.
I'm sure there is a simple solution for it but its just not clicking with me!.

Anywayz,

I'm trying to write a statement that in the FROM clause, there is a formula, and i would like to assign conditions to this formula in the WHERE Clause
Ex:

SELECT DateValue(FLD_AS_STRING) FROM Table1 WHERE ???

I want the statement to convert the FLD_AS_STRING field (which is in string format) to Date format, and in the same time i want to only view fields that it's FLD_AS_STRING is greater than today's date (after it is converted to Date)?

How can i do that in this statement?


Thanks in advance,
