Parsing a query in coldfusion - coldfusion

Question

I have a query as below which
<cfquery name="qryGetXXX" datasource="#sDataSource#">
SELECT COUNT(*) AS TotalCount,Quality.Qualitydesc
FROM QualityCheck INNER JOIN Quality
ON QualityCheck.QualityID = Quality.qualityID
WHERE DATEDIFF(d,DueDate,GETDATE()) >= 90
GROUP BY quality.qualityDesc
</cfquery>
will result in
1) *total count* 21 *QualityDesc* IO
2) *total count* 1 *QualityDesc* Max
3) *total count* 1 *QualityDesc* Min
4) *total count* 1 *QualityDesc* Other
5) *total count* 3 *QualityDesc* Reg
In order to get the first row I am using,
<cfif #qryGetXXX.RecordCount# gt 0 >
<cfloop query="qryGetXXX" startrow="1" endrow="1">
<cfset XXXTimeTotal =#qryGetXXX.TotalCount# >
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
<cfset XXTotal = 0 >
</cfif>
which is checking for the first the recordcount of the whole query but is there any way I can check whether the first row (i.e. startrow 1 and endrow 1) is has a value and then if the startrow 2 and endrow 2 has a value and so on? Can I put the results in an array and will that be easier?
Frank,
You are correct, i am new to coldfusion, hence all the confusion.The query provides me with the results i.e i have the result set as explained above, however i cannot figure out a way to check every row individually. For example i have to check if there are results for the first row and if it does i have to pass that value to my output, and if doesnot i have to put in no value was entered or '0'. I need to do this for the five rows and there will always only be 5 rows of results, which is why i was using start and endrow, however start and endrow donot allow me the flexibility to check for empty row values. In essence i would like to check the row as something like below.
<!--- check the first row of resuslt i.e. Max values ---!>
<cfif startrow1.endrow1 gt 0 >
<cfset nIOCount =#qryGetXXX.TotalCount# >
<cfelse>
<cfset nIOCount = '0'>
</cfif>
<!--- then check the second row resuslts Max ---!>
<cfif startrow2.endrow2 gt 0 >
<cfset nMaxCount =#qryGetXXX.TotalCount# >
<cfelse>
<cfset nMaxCount = '0'>
</cfif>
<!---Output the values---!>
Totals
<tr>
<th>IO</th>
<td>#nIoCount#</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Max </th>
<td>#nMaxCount#</td>
</tr>
<tr>
I know i cannot reference startrow and endrow as i want, so i am looking for a way to reference each row individually in the result set some other way. Any suggestions?
thanks

Answer 1

That query/code is rough (I rendered it to something I could work with).
Your query: (if yours works just leave it as is (I'm making two assumptions below)).
<cfquery name="test" datasource="#sdatasource#">
select count(a.*) as totalcount, a.qualitydesc
from quality a, qualitycheck b
where a.qualityid = b.qualityid
and datediff(d,a.duedate,getdate()) >= 90
group by a.qualitydesc
</cfquery>
Then do your check if and sets like this: (instead of an array I did a struct (making more assumptions as well)).
<cfset totals = structnew()>
<cfif test.recordcount>
<cfoutput query="test">
<cfif test.totalcount neq "">
<cfset StructInsert( totals, test.QualityDesc, test.totalcount )>
<cfelse>
<cfset xxtotal = 0>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
In fact, you can skip that nested if statement and for the xxtotal and do something else out of the loop leaving you with tighter code that looks like this:
<cfset totals = structnew()>
<cfif test.recordcount>
<cfoutput query="test">
<cfset StructInsert( totals, test.QualityDesc, test.totalcount )>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
So if these are your targets:
1) totalcount 21 QualityDesc IO
2) totalcount 1 QualityDesc Max
3) totalcount 1 QualityDesc Min
4) totalcount 1 QualityDesc Other
5) totalcount 3 QualityDesc Reg
Then your looped values will look like this and any missing values or whatever will be bypassed (again you will need to do some checking down stream)...
totals.IO = 21
totals.Max = 1
totals.Min = 1
totals.Other = 1
totals.Reg = 3
Let me know if this helps and makes sense.

(Summary from comments...)
If you mean some of the descriptions, like "IO", are not included in query results at all, then that is what I suspected earlier. Since you are using an INNER join, the query will only return counts for descriptions that exist in both tables. If you want to include all descriptions, even if there is no match in "QualityCheck", you need to use an OUTER join instead. For example:
SELECT Quality.Qualitydesc
, COUNT(QualityCheck.QualityID) AS TotalCount
FROM Quality LEFT JOIN QualityCheck
ON QualityCheck.QualityID = Quality.qualityID
AND DATEDIFF(d,DueDate,GETDATE()) >= 90
GROUP BY quality.qualityDesc
Though as I mentioned on another thread, how you construct the filter can negatively impact the query's performance. See What makes a SQL statement sargable? for details and alternatives.
Side note, while you provided a lot of detail here, you omitted the most important part: .. the actual goal ;-) You will get faster and more accurate responses if you clearly summarize what you are trying to do first, then include the code.
