Greetings!
Please see my data below, for each account, I would need the lastest
balance_date with the corresponding balance. Can anyone help me with
the query? Thanks a lot!
create table a
(account int
,balance_date datetime
,balance money)
insert into a values(101,'1/31/2005', 5000)
insert into a values(101,'2/28/2005', 6000)
insert into a values(102,'5/31/2005', 15000)
insert into a values(102,'6/30/2005', 10000)
Ideal Output
101 '2/28/2005' 6000
102 '6/30/2005' 10000

Use DECIMAL / NUMERIC for monetary amounts. Why would you need anything
else?
I haven't seen a recommendation from Microsoft to use MONEY for
monetary amounts. Maybe you could post a reference if you know of one
because I'd like to send some feedback telling them to change it. What
they DO say is "Monetary data types for representing monetary or
currency values", which is a statement not a recommendation.
Knowing the rounding issues I think I'd have to be either careless,
malicious or under written instructions from my boss to use MONEY in
permanent tables in a production database. It does have some potential
uses for formatting and converting values if you need to do such things
in the database.

I need to extract data from this table to find the lowest prices of
each product as of today. The product will be listed/grouped by the

I can get this result, but I had to use several views (totally
inefficient). I think this can be done in one efficient/fast query,
but I can't think of one.

Hey all,
I created a Query (in Design View) which asks the user for an "As Of
Date" which would
then display relevant data. I put in the
Criteria Row of the Query Design for the Date field. Is there anyway to
put in a default of today's date in the input box and allow the user to
change it to
whatever they want? Please let me know if this needs further
clarification. Thanks for all your help in advance.
