Need help porting an SQL Query to MS Access

2 New Member
I'm trying to convert a query that runs in Query Analyser (SQL Server 2000) to work in MS Access. This will then help me modify the query further and use it to create reports and such.

This query is not something I'm used to seeing in SQL, but the function is to automatically establish what month we are in and how many days there are supposed to be in this month. Then divide the total accumulated values (which are provided in a table) and divide them by that number to get accurate average values.

I'm pasting the query below. Look forward to your responses.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. /* CUSTOMERWISE DEBIT/CREDIT AVERAGE BALANCE */
  2. Declare @MaxDay smallint
  3. Declare @Month Char(4)
  4. Declare @Year Char(4)
  5. Declare @sSQL Varchar(1000)
  6. Select @Year = C_YYYY, @Month = C_MM from Saved_Input_Periods
  7. Select @MaxDay = I_Cal_DaysInPer from period_definition Where Year(D_End_date) = @Year And MOnth(D_End_date) = @Month
  8. Select @sSQL = ''
  9. Select @sSQL = 'Select [ACCOUNTNUMBER]=C_GLACCNO,[CUSTOMERNAME]=C_Cus_ShortName,'
  10. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + '[AVERAGE DR BALANCE]=SUM(M_IDSMonthlyAccDrBal/' + Convert(Varchar(2),@MaxDay ) + '),'
  11. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + '[AVERAGE CR BALANCE]=SUM(M_IDSMonthlyAccCrBal/' + Convert(Varchar(2),@MaxDay ) + '),'
  12. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + '[AVERAGE BALANCE]=SUM(M_IDSMonthlyAccumBal/' + Convert(Varchar(2),@MaxDay ) + ') from gl_P200612'
  13. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + ' WHERE C_CusSubSeg Between 250 and 260'
  14. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + ' GROUP BY C_GLACCNO,C_Cus_ShortName'
  15. Select @sSQL =  @sSQL + ' ORDER BY C_Cus_ShortName'
  16. Exec (@sSQL)

I think you need to post some table MetaData for this.
Otherwise it is possible, but very difficult, to decipher what is hapenning.

I'm sorry but that just flew right over me. MetaData? If you could elaborate, I might be able to comply.

Sorry - I normally do post an example with it. I must have been in a rush.
MetaData is the definition of a table.

Posting Table/Dataset MetaData
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Table Name=tblStudent
  2. StudentID; Autonumber; PK
  3. Family; String; FK
  4. Name; String
  5. University; String; FK
  6. MaxMark; Numeric
  7. MinMark; Numeric

Hello there! I am a bit of a newbee into the mySQL world and I have a question regarding switching from one DB to another. I have for a couple of years used a very simple CMS-system created by myself but now I want to move to textpattern (http://www.textpattern.com/). Using a mySQL tool called NaviCat, I can easily create queries regarding porting ID, text data etc. from my old DB into the textpattern DB (using INNER JOINS it seems). But...

Hi, I previous posted this in a gcc and g++ groups since that is the compiler I am working with, but I didn't get any response. Hopefully these are the right groups for this question. I am working (actually playing) on porting Alien vs Predator to Linux. I am using the code that is available via CVS from icculus.org. I recently upgraded my gcc to 3.4.1 and now a portion of the code doesn't compile. Nothing in the code has changed.

Hi there, SUMMARY: 1) When I use phpadmin to export a large database, the file created on my local PC never containes all the tables and information.

Hi all; A few years ago, I set about porting a PHP application from MySQL to PostgreSQL, after realizing that MySQL wasn't going to be able to handle it. In order to do this, I built a light, fast database abstraction layer which conforms to the behavior of the MySQL functions in PHP. This means that a large amount of porting work could be made simple using this porting layer if the application was originally used PHP's native MySQL...

I'm having trouble porting over an old VB6 program to VB Express. In a nutshell - all I need to do is use a form with a textbox (text entry) and a drop down list (from a Microsoft Access MDB) and create a set of directories based on the drop down (ties into a separate table in the MDB) with the textbox text as the root directory. any thoughts?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
