Hello Folks,
can anybody tell me how to do the following very simple thing:
I have a table that has say departments, divisions and units of an
organisation and what i am trying to do is find a divison. One
department has many divisions, and one division many units. I am think
therefore a SELECT DISTINCT query on the division would make sense and
to put my search criteria for department on the WHERE. Of course that
doesnt work since you need the where clause to refer to a field in the
SELECT DISTINCT clause and if I put the field there it would make that
distinct as well. I know it must be simple but i acnnot figure out how
to do it.

[the first of a half dozen posts threading out the description of
the problem over several articles]
Next time you want help, pause and think about how to describe it.
Then write ONE POST describing the whole problem.
Any time I see a thread with a chain of posts from the original
poster, I skip to the next thread, because I just don't have time to
sort through the confusion of assembling the multiple posts into a
coherent description of the problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to display the total page views per page within a given date
range, but the correct SQL is seemingly beyond me. I get the correct result
with a straightforward Group By and Count clause eg
SELECT DISTINCT tblPageViews.PageVisited,
Count(tblPageViews.PageVisited) AS CountOfPageVisited
FROM tblPageViews
GROUP BY tblPageViews.PageVisited;

Folks,
We have an SQL statement that was coded in an application many years ago
(starting with DB V2 I think). When I upgraded to UDB 8.2, the optimizer
does not use optimal path to access the data.
It takes about 4 minutes to get the data. In previous versions it was
instantaneous.
What do I need to do to increase the performance?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
