  • RE: Select rows from table that don exist in another with where clause

  • RE: Read and execute SQL string from Table, output to file

    Here is something we can work with. Start with a basic table create and some sample data.

    insert into SQL_List( SQL_Stmt, File_location)

  • RE: Conditional Counting

    You can conditionally pick that value with a sub-select:

    SELECT count(B.TRANS_TYPE) STARTS, B.PROD_CODE pcode, B.CODE CScode

    FROM SUBS B

    WHERE B.TRANS_DATE between '1/1/2011' AND '5/1/2011'
