I'm in the process of trying to produce a report (monthly, year to date, etc) on a group of shipping entries in our database to show correct sums as well as group them by shipping company. How can I accomplish taking all this information and produce proper reports? One thing to note is that all of the entries in this table are nvarchar(max) due to text importing with odd characters from various sources. The master database list looks something like this: table - shipping_info shipping_company | ship_date | shipping_category | shipping_cost UPS | 20130301 | CD'S | 3.50 UPS | 20130310 | Records

Need help figuring out how to do a cross-tabulated report within one query. There are 3-4 tables involved but the users table may not need to be included in the query since we just need a count.

One particular report I'm trying to generate contains 32 rows and 64 columns with about 70

I have a table in SQL Server 2012 that is updated manually every month to reflect what date is a file expected to come in. The date rule already has values but the expected date column is what is updated manually. If its expected on BD1(Business Day 1) I will update to the first non-weekend day of the month. If its expected on CD1(Calenday Day 1) I will update to the 1st regardless if it falls on a weekday or a weekend and so forth. Is it possible to write an update query where it would loop through the values and update automatically? I'm having trouble figuring out to update to the correct

I have to check for minimum date each time and add 30 days to it and set the field accordingly. For Example: My Table: ID StartDate EndDate 1 2017-01-01 2017-02-01 1 2017-01-09 2017-01-28 1 2017-04-01 2017-04-30 1 2017-04-05 2017-05-20 1 2017-04-20 2017-06-12 2 2017-06-02 2017-06-20 2 2017-06-14 2017-07-31 2 2017-06-14 2017-07-31 2 2017-06-19 2017-07-31 2 2017-06-19 2017-07-31 so, here min(startdate) is 2017-01-01. Now I add 30 days to it and my look up date is 2017-01-31. for any record which has start date less than this look up date I have to set flag_1. My table will look like: ID

I am using SQL Server 2012 , i have a script by which i am inserting values to a table, in that script i have to convert the format of some DateTime variables on the basis of two parameters.

I'm doing database migration using Code-First in Visual Studio 2015. Along the way, i've done the migration steps up till Add-Migration . After Add-Migration, i've added this line of code Database.SetInitializer(New MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion(Of DbContext1, Migrations.Configuration)) in my DbContext constructor to set up Database Initializer since i missed this step previously.

Then, i directly executed "Update-Database" The problem is
