Hi George,

Sorry that I didn't see you post this last week.

One last question: based upon this test data, what does the output need to look like?

Hi George,
Sorry that I didn't see you post this last week.
One last question: based upon this test data, what does the output need to look like?

Hey Wayne I have working for the most part just have to get dates looking correct after the varchar conversion and then figure out how to pass 'subIDs' as some of the tables have IDs that relate to tables under them and I have yet to figure out how to pass them to the next table.

Here is what I have so far.

;WITH outpQ

There are many different ways to do it with SSIS. It depends really on your preference and experience in it. SSIS is a tool designed for this kind of tasks.

It's hard to say how I would do it, may be, actually, I would use SSIS to run the T-SQL query which just the dumps complete pre-formatted results into the flat file... But, may be not 😀

Lol well as soon as I get these dates formatted correctly and figuring out how to pass the identifiers to the subsets I am going to attempt doing just that =). I would have to have a query that queries that correct data for the A line correct? I tried putting a WHERE Clause for the first line but it did not work as intended. Is there any reason that should not work?

AS

(

FROM CityCollection.dbo.FileInfo

WHERE fileDone >= dateadd(hour,-24,getdate()) and fileDone <= getdate()

george.greiner Default port Points: 1473 More actions · Answer 5

I got all the date conversions figured out now I jsut need to figure this next part out and this is done!

I have ae key "interstID" that is passed from the "B" line to the "B1" and "B2" lines.

How would I go about passing that ID so that the record looks as such:

A

B (defendant)

B1 (defendants multiple addresses if applicable)

B2 (bankruptcies in regards to defendant)

B

B1

B2

The code posted above does this:

A

B

B1

B2

I am not entirely sure if it would be another join? I tried doing this:

UNION ALL

FROM CityCollection.dbo.FileInfo A

JOIN CityCollection.dbo.eInterest C ON C.CaseNumber = A.CaseNumber

UNION ALL

FROM CityCollection.dbo.FileInfo A

JOIN CityCollection.dbo.addresses D ON D.CaseNumber = A.CaseNumber AND D.interestID = C.interestID

UNION ALL

But I get the error:

"Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The multi-part identifier "C.interestID" could not be bound."

Not sure what that means exactly.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

George

Hope you had a great holiday! I still have issues because I need to be able to pass a second key from the B line to B1 and B2 so that they can be grouped together. For instance:

A (FileInfo) Only one of these per file.

A1 (Liens) May be many per file.

A1

B (defendant) May be many.

B1 (address) May be many per defendant.

B2 (bankruptcy) May be many per defendant.

B

B1

B

B1

B3 (Documents) May be many per file.

B3

C (Judgments and other miscelaneous files that the client wants in these lines) May be many per file.

C

Current export :

A

B

B1

B2

C

It appears I overlooked that or did not explain it very well when asking for help with this in the first place. I tried a few things to no avail and am not sure how to do it using this method.

Thanks,

George

Missed columns are reaplaced with constant strings representing which column should be taken.

You can see from above query returns records in required order:

A

A1

B

B1

B

B1

B3

A

...

Where is trick?

Trick is in introducing artificial "order" columns as you need them.

To order B, B1, B2 & B3 records as you want, it should be something which group them together. First of all, the grpOrd column introduced to group all A's, B's and C's, then, inside the group, it shold be something to group B1, B2 and B3 to the parent B record. In the above case it is a InterestId, therefore you will see that in order to get B1, B2 and B3 records you cannot just join #FileInfo table to its "grand-child", you should do it via its first "child" #eInterests. Otherwise there is nothing to advise which B1's, B2's and B3's relate to which B record.

Please post a code you have done so far...

Ok done with that really useless meeting lol.

Here is the code I came up with trying to apply that method but I am getting this error from it : "Msg 205, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

All queries combined using a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists."

EDIT: nvm fixed it.. just noticed that I left out posingrp in 2 places!

Is it possible to use a WHERE clause using this method? If not what is the best method to query the files I need out as this will provide me with ALL of the files in the database. For instance :

WHERE DateFinished >= dateadd(hour,-24,getdate()) and DateFinished <= getdate() (note that DateFinished is a Column in the A line or FileInfo table).

Thanks,

George

First of all I would advise to introduce the variables to hold the required period boundaries and then use it in where clause. Something like :

Declare @PeriodStart Datetime

Declare @PeriodEnd Datetime

SELECT @PeriodEnd = GetDate()

,@PeriodStart = dateadd(hour,-24,getdate())

There are few ways to filter records:

1. Add DateFinished column into the select list of each statement then use WHERE clause in a final query

2. Use WHERE clause in every "unioned" select query

3. It may be the most effective way, first to select all required rows with required columns from FileInfo into temp table. Then use this temp table which will only contain required record in your UNION query.

You may find that creating indexes on the temp table will be benefitial to performance.

I don't know which method will be the best in your case. It depends on the data vloume you have and available indexes.

I have been able to filter the A row but all subsequent lines pull all the records as they do not have a "DateFinished" column. How do I go about pulling those? Even if I drop the FileInfo records into a temp table I am still going to get ALL of the other records in the other tables.

What you meen by "subsequent lines pull all the records as they do not have a "DateFinished" column"? Each of your SELECT query select from FileInfo table, you said that DateFinished is a column of FileInfo. So just use it.

Something along the line:

SELECT [All Required Columns]

INTO #ReqFileInfo

FROM FileInfo

WHERE DateFinished BETWEEN @PeriodStart AND @PeriodEnd

Then use #ReqFileInfo instead of FileInfo in every query of your UNION query (CTE).
