SLICING DATA IN A TABLE

  • I have a table composed as the following:

    VendorNbr varchar(15),

    CCOde varchar(1),

    PayDate numeric(8,0),

    NetPaid numeric(11,2)

    with the following sample data

    VendorNbr CCode PayDate NetPaid

    AAAAAAAAA 1 20120101 3000.00

    AAAAAAAAA 1 20120101 6000.00

    AAAAAAAAA 1 20120103 56000.00

    AAAAAAAAA 1 20120105 10000.00

    I need to determine for each vendor/company code listed what the date was that the netpaid

    amount crossed over a pre-defined threshhold ( e.g. 50000.00 )

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Well, since I can't run test code since I don't have a sample I can directly use, best I can offer is an idea of the code:

    SELECT

    vendorno,

    MIN(datetime)

    FROM

    table

    WHERE

    value >= @threshold

    GROUP BY

    vendorno

  • Which is probably faster than this, but you get the idea:

    WITH SampleData (VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid) AS (

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120101, 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120101, 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120103, 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120105, 100000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120101, 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120101, 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120103, 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120105, 100000.00

    )

    SELECT *

    FROM (

    SELECT

    VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid,

    dr = DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY VendorNbr, CCode ORDER BY CASE WHEN NetPaid < 50000 THEN NULL ELSE PayDate END)

    FROM SampleData

    ) d

    WHERE dr = 2

    ORDER BY VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate

  • I'm sure that this is a running total problem that I would love to try with SQL 2012, but I don't have it at work.

    There's another option that works great on previous versions as long as you play by the rules. You can find all the information in this article: http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/articles/T-SQL/68467/

    And here's an example:

    CREATE TABLE RunningTotalTable(

    VendorNbr char(10),

    CCode int,

    PayDate date,

    NetPaid decimal(15,2),

    RunningTotal decimal(15,2)

    )

    CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX CX_Test ON RunningTotalTable(VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate)

    DECLARE @Paid decimal(15,2) = 0,

    @Vendor char(10),

    @CCode int

    INSERT INTO RunningTotalTable(VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid)

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, '20120101', 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, '20120101', 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, '20120103', 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 3, '20120105', 100000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'BBBBBBBBB', 2, '20120101', 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'BBBBBBBBB', 2, '20120101', 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'BBBBBBBBB', 2, '20120103', 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'BBBBBBBBB', 2, '20120105', 100000.00

    UPDATE rt SET

    @Paid = RunningTotal = CASE WHEN @Vendor = VendorNbr AND @CCode = CCode THEN @Paid ELSE 0 END + NetPaid,

    @Vendor = VendorNbr,

    @CCode = CCode

    FROM RunningTotalTable rt WITH (TABLOCKX)

    OPTION( MAXDOP 1)

    SELECT *

    FROM RunningTotalTable

    SELECT VendorNbr, CCode, MIN(PayDate)

    FROM RunningTotalTable

    WHERE RunningTotal > 50000

    GROUP BY VendorNbr, CCode

    DROP TABLE RunningTotalTable

    I'm sure that this is a running total problem that I would love to try with SQL 2012, but I don't have it at work.

    I agree and I think this would be it.

    WITH SampleData (VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid) AS (

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120101, 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120101, 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120103, 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 1, 20120105, 100000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120101, 3000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120101, 6000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120103, 56000.00 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'AAAAAAAAA', 2, 20120105, 100000.00

    )

    SELECT VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid, CumNetPaid

    FROM

    (

    SELECT VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid, CumNetPaid, rn1

    ,rn2=MIN(rn1) OVER (PARTITION BY VendorNbr, CCode)

    FROM

    (

    SELECT VendorNbr, CCode, PayDate, NetPaid

    ,CumNetPaid=SUM(NetPaid) OVER

    (

    PARTITION BY VendorNbr, CCode ORDER BY PayDate

    ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW

    )

    ,rn1=ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY VendorNbr, CCode ORDER BY PayDate)

    FROM SampleData

    ) a

    WHERE CumNetPaid > 50000

    ) a

    WHERE rn1=rn2;

    It won't be quite as fast as your QU Luis, but at least no one can claim this is "undocumented" behavior.

    Edit: My initial solution missed the part about "for each CCode" so above is corrected.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
