I have a case where I need to count the number of records grouped by publishing year. I've looked at the documentation, and the net in general, but I can't find what to use.
e.g.
2013 = 100 books published
2012 = 95 books
etc..
Using Oracle SQL, this is done using:
select date_published, count(*)
from publications
group by date_published
order by date_published desc
I'm just wondering how to translate this to CFWheels.
Try this:
publications=model("publication").findAll(
select="date_published, COUNT(date_published) AS publishCount"
, group="date_published"
, order="date_published DESC" );
NB, COUNT() is a case-sensitive command in wheels.
PS, or you can do what matt says - you could even attach it to the model so you could do publications.getPubCountByYear() etc.
This is more of a comment, but because I need the formatting I'm posting it as an answer. Can't you write a query just like a regular query in ColdFusion?
<cfquery name="getCounts" datasource="myDSN">
select date_published, count(*)
from publications
group by date_published
order by date_published desc
</cfquery>

I am learning PowerBI as i go along and have been able to solve most issues faced by a quick google. Unfortunately this problem has baffled me.
We have thousands of lines of data which include a "Home Country" column & "Away Country" column.
What we need our slicer to do is to is to pick up for example Australia in both of these columns and display the results.
I currently have a table created using the below:
slicercountrytable = distinct(
Union(
Values('All Data'[Home Country]),
Values('All Data'[Away Country])))'''
and then a measure:
Measure =
if(
Min('All Data'[Home Country]) in values (slicercountrytable[Country])
|| Min('All Data'[Away Country]) in values (slicercountrytable[Country]),
1,
Blank()
)
And have also tried the below measure:
Measure 3 = VAR
Searchvalue=search(SELECTEDVALUE(slicercountrytable[Country]),SELECTEDVALUE('All Data'[Combined Country]),,Blank())
Return
If(Searchvalue > 0,"Found")
I need the slicer to control the entire sheet however the above are doing nothing.
Thanks
In that case, instead of building some complicated DAX I suggest to work the model.
Let's say your current table looks like that:
id
home country
away country
1
A
B
2
B
C
You may want to deal with that in another table by unpivoting home_country and away_country in PowerQuery.
In order to have a country table like that:
id
country
attribute
1
A
home
1
B
away
2
B
home
2
C
away
Then you link this new table to your existing one on id and filter/slice in it.
I reproduced your example and feel that it is already showing the desired behavior. I think the problem you might be running into is that you will now need to add your 'measure' filter to each and every visual individually. It cannot be added to 'Page' or 'All Pages' filter areas. This is because of the way a measure's calculation varies across context and cannot be avoided.
DAX
Table 2 = distinct(union(all('Table'[Away]), all('Table'[Home])))
Measure =
if(
MAX('Table'[Away]) in VALUES('Table 2'[SelectedCountries])
|| MAX('Table'[Home]) in VALUES('Table 2'[SelectedCountries]) ,
1,
blank()
)
I have two tables:
Users (2 columns): ID, DisplayName, Active
Ticket_Followups (4 colums): id, requested_by, requested_date, ticket_id
I am tryiwng to group all the similar records in the ticket_followup table, first by recordcount and then by displayName.
Here is what I have so far:
<cfquery name="active_users" datasource="#datasource#">
select * from users
where active='1'
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="active_users">
<cfquery name="get_followups" datasource="#datasource#">
select date_of_followup_request, requested_by, ticket_id
from ticket_followup
where requested_by = '#active_users.displayName#'
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>
<tr>
<td>#active_users.displayName#</td>
<td>#get_followups.recordcount#</td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
I am able to successfully show the output for the total records by user, but there is no order to the output. I would like to group it so that it shows the DisplayName with the highest recordcount first, descending in order.
How can I do that?
This is a SQL issue, CF is just displaying data after the data is gathered.
You need to do this in one query.
You need to associate the ticket follow ups by user ID, not by name (Name could change, but not the ID).
There's a table of tickets I assume, but we'll stick to your two tables.
First, the tables:
Users
----------
id
DisplayName
Active
Ticket_Followups
----------
id
requested_by_id (Users.id)
requested_date
ticket_id
You can technically join by name, but it's a much slower query and I've no idea how much data you have.
This query joins the two tables and gives you a count of ticket follow ups by user. You can add an ORDER BY statement before the GROUP BY depending on your needs.
SELECT
a.DisplayName
, count(*) AS requested_count
FROM
Users AS a
INNER JOIN
Ticket_Followups b ON b.requested_by_id = a.id
WHERE
a.active = 1
GROUP BY
a.id
If you don't do this in one query, then for every user that has an active ticket, you're making another query.
10 users, 11 queries
20 users, 21 queries
etc.
Updated 2022-02-15
Query using DisplayName with an ORDER BY clause. This should make it clearer that you're counting the tickets per user and not the number of users.
SELECT
a.DisplayName
, count(a.*) AS ticket_count
FROM
Ticket_Followups AS a
INNER JOIN
Users AS b ON b.DisplayName = a.DisplayName
WHERE
a.active = 1
ORDER BY
a.DisplayName DESC
GROUP BY
a.DisplayName
Output:
<cfoutput query="queryName">
<li>#queryName.DisplayName# - #queryName.ticket_count#</li>
</cfoutput>
I have a very simple question but since i am not familiar with SQL or PL/SQL, i got no idea to do that.
In my Oracle APEX Application, I am loading data from a table into a CLASSIC REPORT through setting Local Database/SQL Query as source.
I have to make 4 columns from data of 2 columns stored in a table. I can load 3 without any issue using the below simple statement:
Select TaskName, DueDate, DueDate - 3 as ReminderDate
from table_name
Fourth column should be "RemainingDays" which equals to DueDate-current date, I have tried writing DueDate - Sys_date and DueDate - current_date in the above statement to get the fourth column but probably its not the correct way as i get error instead of all 4 columns. (I am doing in it basic excel/dax way). Any Help here?
When you subtract a date from another date, Oracle returns a number which is the number of days between the two dates.
One thing to note when using SYSDATE or CURRENT_DATE is that you may get different results if your user is not in the same timezone as the database. SYSDATE returns the current time of the database. CURRENT_DATE returns the current time of the user whatever timezone they may be in.
If possible, try building the query in a tool such as SQL Developer, get it working there, then build your Classic Report in APEX. If you are still receiving an error, please share the error you are receiving as well as the query you are using.
Example
--Start of sample data
WITH
t (task_name, due_date)
AS
(SELECT 'task1', DATE '2020-9-30' FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'task2', DATE '2020-9-28' FROM DUAL)
--End of sample data
SELECT task_name,
due_date,
due_date - 3 AS reminder_date,
ROUND (due_date - SYSDATE,2) AS days_remaining
FROM t;
Result
TASK_NAME DUE_DATE REMINDER_DATE DAYS_REMAINING
____________ ____________ ________________ _________________
task1 30-SEP-20 27-SEP-20 13.66
task2 28-SEP-20 25-SEP-20 11.66
I have a query that I created from a table.
example:
select
pkey,
trunc (createdformat) business_date,
regexp_substr (statistics, 'business_ \ w *') business_statistics
from business_data
where statistics like '% business_%'
group by regexp_substr(statistics, 'business_\w*'), trunc(createdformat)
This works great thanks to your help.
Now I want to show that in a crosstab / pivot.
That means in the first column are the "business_statistics", the column headings are the "dynamic days from business_date".
I've tried the following, but it doesn't quite work yet
SELECT *
FROM (
select
pkey,
trunc(createdformat) business_date,
regexp_substr(statistics, 'business_\w*') business_statistics
from business_data
where statistics like '%business_%'
)
PIVOT(
count(pkey)
FOR business_date
IN ('17.06.2020','18.06.2020')
)
ORDER BY business_statistics
If I specify the date, like here 17.06.2020 and 18.06.2020 it works. 3 columns (Business_Statistic, 17.06.2020, 18.06.2020). But from column 2 it should be dynamic. That means he should show me the days (date) that are also included in the query / table. So that is the result of X columns (Business_Statistics, Date1, Date2, Date3, Date4, ....). Dynamic based on the table data.
For example, this does not work:
...
IN (SELECT DISTINCT trunc(createdformat) FROM BUSINESS_DATA WHERE statistics like '%business_%' order by trunc(createdformat))
...
The pivot clause doesn't work with dynamic values.
But there are some workarounds discuss here: How to Convert Rows to Columns and Back Again with SQL (Aka PIVOT and UNPIVOT)
You may find one workaround that suits your requirements.
Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with PL / SQL. But could I still process the start date and the end date of the user for the query?
For example, the user enters the APEX environment as StartDate: June 17, 2020 and as EndDate: June 20, 2020.
Then the daily difference is calculated in the PL / SQL query, then a variable is filled with the value of the entered period using Loop.
Example: (Just an idea, I'm not that fit in PL / SQL yet)
DECLARE
startdate := :P9999_StartDate 'Example 17.06.2020
enddate := P9999_EndDate 'Example 20.06.2020
BEGIN
LOOP 'From the startdate to the enddate day
businessdate := businessdate .... 'Example: 17.06.2020,18.06.2020,19.06.2020, ...
END LOOP
SELECT *
FROM (
select
pkey,
trunc(createdformat) business_date,
regexp_substr(statistics, 'business_\w*') business_statistics
from business_data
where statistics like '%business_%'
)
PIVOT(
count(pkey)
FOR business_date
IN (businessdate)
)
ORDER BY business_statistics
END;
That would be my idea, but I fail to implement it. Is that possible? I hope you understand what I mean
I am trying to do a left ourter join in Athena and my query looks like the following:
SELECT customer.name, orders.price
FROM customer LEFT OUTER JOIN order
ON customer.id = orders.customer_id
WHERE price IS NULL;
Where each customer could only have one order in the orders table at most and there are customers with no order in the orders table at all. So I am expecting to get some number of records where there is a customer in the customer table with no records in orders table which means when I do LEFT OUTER JOIN the price will be NULL. But this query returns 0 every time I run it. I have queries both tables separately and pretty sure there is data in both but not sure why this is returning zero where it works if I remove the price IS NULL. I have also tried price = '' and price IN ('') and none of them works. Has anyone here had a similar experience before? Or is there something wrong with my query that I can not see or identify?
It seems that your query is correct. To validate, I created two CTEs that should match up with your customer and orders table and ran your query against them. When running the query below, it returns a record for customer 3 Ted Johnson who did not have an order.
WITH customer AS (
SELECT 1 AS id, 'John Doe' AS name
UNION
SELECT 2 AS id, 'Jane Smith' AS name
UNION
SELECT 3 AS id, 'Ted Johnson' AS name
),
orders AS (
SELECT 1 AS customer_id, 20 AS price
UNION
SELECT 2 AS customer_id, 15 AS price
)
SELECT customer.name, orders.price
FROM customer LEFT OUTER JOIN orders
ON customer.id = orders.customer_id
WHERE price IS NULL;
I'd suggest running the following queries:
COUNT(DISTINCT id) FROM customers;
COUNT(DISTINCT customer_id) FROM orders;
Based on the results you are seeing, I would expect those counts to match. Perhaps your system is creating a record in the orders table whenever a customer is created with a price of 0.
Probably you can't use where for order table.
SELECT customer.name, order.price
FROM customer LEFT OUTER JOIN order
ON customer.id = orders.customer_id AND order.price IS NULL;
