<0> ?
<1> when doing division in sql, how do i get the decimal value?
<1> it's rounding off
<2> don't use an int?
<2> id guess convert to float like any other language
<1> multiplying it by 1.0 worked
<1> ok
<1> there has to be an easier way to do this
<1> Table A, Table B, Table C. Table B is common to C and A, I need all possible values from C and A and the matching B value
<1> simple joins wont work
<1> i can either get all of Table A or Table C but not both
<1> is this where full outer joins work?
<1> maybe a cross join
<3> hi, mssql 2k - how many columns in a table is too many. Most of the answers in each field are a number...
<3> i always wonder if im going over a limit
<4> when you think 'wtf', its too many



<3> haha
<3> im at 17
<3> mostly bit fields
<3> maybe im there right now!
<0> settrip : how many of the bit fields need to be used in where clauses or joins?
<5> Anyone know where I can get a copy of Query Analyzer I thought it was a free download at M$'s website
<0> Kranfer : QA is part of the Enterprise Manager suite, which is part of ms-sql2000
<0> Kranfer : it is included with the eval of ms-sql2000 - the engine is limited to 180 days, but the client tools (like EM and QA) are not so limited

<6> hi. in MSSQL, having a table with a 'number_dialed' column, how do I do a max(count) query to find out the most dialed number? thank you
<7> g-tox, select number_dialed, count(otherfield) from mytable group by number_dialed;
<6> yeah, but i just want to show the max line
<6> i messed up with having and max, but i can't seem to make a clause 'having count(dialed) = max(count(dialed))'
<6> are you seeing what i'm after?
<8> Gambit- : not count(otherfield), you cunt. it's always count(*) unless counting a distinct col
<8> g-tox : what do you mean 'the max line'?
<8> g-tox : which rdbms is this for?
<6> i want the output to be just one tuple
<8> g-tox : which rdbms is this for?
<6> its for mssql 2000
<8> does the table in question have a primary key?
<6> yep
<9> astounding!
<8> evening rmah
<6> both 'number_dialed' and 'code' are the primary key
<8> so you have a composite primary key?
<8> what is 'code'?
<6> is a int code for the local hardware phone
<6> like phone 1 called 0987654
<8> and 'phone 1' will only ever dial a number once?
<6> nope
<6> phone 1 can dial many phone numbers
<6> so both code and number are primary keys
<6> like 0987654 dialed by phone 1, 4355675 dialed by phone 1, 327674 dialed by phone 2
<6> etc
<9> haha
<8> er, ms-sql does not support two primary keys to a table - which rdbms is this really for?
<6> my query is: which was the most dialed number
<6> no... primary key is made of two attributes
<6> no two primary keys
<8> so it *is* a composite primary key
<6> yes
<8> so why did you say 'no'?
<6> i'm still learning... frst approach to databases
<8> ok, so any given 'code' will only ever dial a number once?
<6> my table is like this:
<6> code | number_dialed | hour
<6> 1 | 12345 | 13:34
<8> ok, so any given 'code' will only ever dial a number once?
<9> select t.phone, tmp.ncalls from t join (select phone, count(*) as ncalls from t group by phone) as tmp on t.phone = tmp.phone order by tmp.ncalls DESC;
<9> do that
<9> limit by 1 or use top 1 or whatever to just grab the first row
<9> phone = code
<6> every code can dial as many numbers as it want
<9> g-tox, I just gave you the query, now try it
<6> gonna try it
<8> g-tox : then your primary key is not a primary key, is it can contain duplicates
<9> YuppieScm: don't bother him with trivialities like technical correctness :-)
<10> if i get a telemarketing call from this app i'm suing #sql
<9> he's a telemarketer?



<9> **** me
<10> what else is it for?
<9> maybe it's homework
<10> haha
<9> then I could ban his ***!
<8> nah - i used to do **** like this when i worked for qwest
<10> ban either way
<8> call-centre traffic logging
<9> wouldn't telcos hire dba's and programmers to do call accounting ****?
<8> yah, they do... well, they hired me...
<8> yeah, you're right, it must be homework
<9> heh
<9> YOU'RE the one who first said "homework"
<8> true... maybe i should kb him
<8> thinking about it, not sure what kind of call centre needs to track which number they called the most
<10> or from which phone number
<9> maybe they're trying to find employees to fire by looking at phone abusers?
<9> it's as good a reason as any
<8> you'd think they would only call any number once per scam... er, unbeatable product offering
<10> why don't we ask him
<9> that would make too much sense. boo on you Mixx
<10> =/
<8> g-tox " you still here?
<6> yep
<10> sooooooo whatcha makin?
<6> result is good, but i still can't get just the first row
<10> sooooooo whatcha makin?
<6> got it
<10> [20:37:04] <+YuppieScm> g-tox : which rdbms is this for?
<10> [20:37:38] <6> i want the output to be just one tuple
<10> [20:37:43] <+YuppieScm> g-tox : which rdbms is this for?
<10> his guy doesn't listen either
<10> ^t

<8> have you got to the 'stig' bit yet?
<9> just got there
<9> who's this stig?
<8> undisclosed professional racing driver
<8> i suspect that for this series it was damon hill -
<8> but i could be wrong
<9> is this a regular BBC show?
<8> yah... 'top gear'
<8> format has changed over the years... have been presented by that big bloke for for last several
<8> actually, i think he's been doing it for 10 years or so... damn that makes me feel old
<11> i want one of those cars.
<8> indeed
<9> I'd feel silly driving that to the grocery store
<8> fwiw, it's one of the available cars in PGR3
<11> it's just a toy.. you wouldn't drive it anywhere unless you were out for fun
<8> gripe : ey - grocery shopping can be fun
<10> sweet vid YuppieScm
<11> especially when you can compress the driving time from 15 mins to 3
<8> if i had one, i'd drive the ****er everywhere unless it was raining
<12> lol
<12> holy **** atom
<8> up and atom!
<9> the big bloke drives a Mercedes SL55 AMG
