Subquery is not supported - Do I have to develop using VisualStudio for this? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm trying to create a view that has predefined groups for our accountmanagers that I can seem to build in the normal list view.

Here is the SQL statement that I'm trying to run:

SELECT
C.Account, C.firstname, C.lastname, S.Total, A.State, AC.StartDate
From
sysdba.Contact C LEFT OUTER JOIN
sysdba.Address A
ON
A.AddressId = c.AddressId
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(select contactid, sum(Total) as Total From sysdba.PP_Sales Group by contactid) S
ON
S.Contactid = C.contactid
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(select contactid, max(StartDate) as startdate From sysdba.Activity Group by contactid) AC
ON
AC.contactid = C.contactid

Do I have to use VS.Net nad figure out how to do this through there or is there another way without using scripts that I can pull this data. basically I need to have a row coming from 4 different tables where two of the columes sumarize data or sort the data. Can anyone take a look at my statement and point me in the right direction. I feel like I'm going about this all wrong.

Our Sales Manager wants an easy way for the reps to pull uptheir customers with sales totals from the customer and other information easily and export it into Excel in a formated sheet. I figured the best way to do this (being the groups don't exactly get everything you want) is to create my own view that looks just like a list view and base it od SQL scripts that work in Query Analizer. This way I could copy the export to excel script and modify it the way I see fit and just bypass the original list view.

Is my only hope Crystal Reports or VS.Net?

I'm starting to use Crystal, but I realized that the reps wont be able to simply double click the contacts record and go to the contact.. Ugh, this is getting ridiculous.

If you are on a later version of SLX, you may create this Query as a SQL View then base your SLX Group off of that.

You can also get around the SLX Query Builder's lack of subquery support with a little trick.
You can't do it through joins, but you can subquery by selecting a field and using an in statement, the entire in statement can be your subquery.

For example, here's something I did recently:
A3.ACCOUNTID IN (SELECT distinct ACCOUNTID FROM SYSDBA.C_MACHINES WHERE PRODUCTCODE IN ('XXXX'))

variations on this will take you rather far.

How about a different approach entirely....

1. create a mainview & give it some catchy name (kind of like dashboard)
2. put a big empty grid control on it, maybe some additional fields to use for filtering, and set default values when it's opened to keep the size of the dataset reasonable.
3. build the grid from code, filling it with your values here.
4. use the export-grid-to-excel function if they really want to kill some trees or share it with their friends.

If you do a view like you are planning and your database gets big.... it will be unusable due to performance issues. (Yes.. I have those scars!)

Carla, how do you go about doing this? I've created my view but I can't figure out how to set an SLX Group to use it as the base...
Thanks,
jim

Hi Jim,

You would need to create the view in SQL and then enable it in Database Manager tool.
Fun times!
