GROUP BY in Sub Query

  • I am trying to get the max effective date from the following query but the way I am doing I need to add a GROUP BY in the WHERE Clause but I keep getting a syntax error:

    SELECTDISTINCT Listing.[ConsultantID]

    ,Listing.ConsultantName

    ,Listing.[ListType] AS OrderType

    ,Ord.ListType As ReportListType

    ,Ord.[TSUserType]

    ,Ord.[InternalUserName]

    --,Ord.[ListTypeDesc]

    ,Ord.OrderTypeXID

    ,Ord.OrderStatusXID

    ,CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),Ord.ORderCreateDate,101) AS OrderCreateDate

    ,'G'+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),Ord.ORderGroupNumber) AS OrderGroupNumber

    ,Ord.OrderNumber

    ,ISNULL(Ord.PartOneTotal,0) As PartOneTotal

    ,ISNULL(Ord.PartTwoTotal,0) AS PartTwoTotal

    ,ISNULL(Ord.PartThreeTotal,0) as PartThreeTotal

    ,ISNULL(Ord.Hostcredit,0) AS HostCredit

    ,ISNULL(Ord.SampleAllowanceAmount,0) AS SampleAllowanceAmount

    ,ISNULL(Case

    WHEN Listing.[ListType] IN ('Client')THEN ord.TSODiscountAmount

    END,0)AS 'TSODiscounts'

    ,ISNULL(Case

    WHEN Listing.[ListType] NOT IN ('Client')THEN ord.ConsultantDiscountAmount

    END,0)AS 'NONTSODiscounts'

    ,ISNULL(Ord.ConsultantDiscountAmount,0) AS ConsultantDiscountAmount

    ,Ord.ShippedDate

    ,'ShipDate' =

    CASE ord.OrderStatusXID

    WHEN 32 THEN Convert(nvarchar(10),Ord.ShippedDate,101)

    WHEN 16 THEN 'Partial'

    WHEN 8 THEN 'Unshipped'

    WHEN 128 THEN 'Unshipped'

    END

    ,Ord.ShipToFirstName + ' ' +Ord.ShipToLastName AS ShipToName

    ,ISNULL(Ord.ShippingTotal,0) AS ShippingTotal

    ,ISNULL(Ord.OrderTotal,0) AS OrderTotal

    ,ISNULL(Ord.TaxTotal,0) AS TaxTotal

    ,Ord.SortOrder

    FROM(SELECTDISTINCT con.[ConsultantID]

    ,Con.FirstName + ' ' + Con.LastName AS ConsultantName

    ,List.ListType

    ,MAX(con.EffectiveDate) AS EffectiveDate

    FROM[Consultant]

    GROUP BY Con.ConsultantID AS Con With (NoLock)

    ,(SELECT DISTINCT ListType FROM uvw_ListingType With (NoLock) WHERE (ListType = @OrderTypeFilter OR @OrderTypeFilter IS NULL AND ListType <> 'UFO')) AS List

    WHERECon.ConsultantID = @ConsultantID) AS Listing

    LEFT OUTER JOIN [uvw_OrderListingSummary] AS Ord ON

    Listing.[ConsultantID] = Ord.[ConsultantID]

    AND listing.listtype = ord.listtype

    ANDOrd.[OrderCreateDate] BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate

    AND Ord.ListType IS NOT NULL

    Order BY ord.SortOrder Asc

    or maybe I am going about in the wrong way.

  • I have not tested whether the query will work but shouldn't the locking hint be moved to the FROM statement rather than the GROUP BY statement.

    FROM WITH (NOLOCK)

    GROUP BY

    Also, there appears to be a missing close parenthesis after the GROUP BY statement. (I did not match all of the parens; just a quick glance.)

    Sorry if this is not helpful.

  • Ah, I see where the problem might be:

    (SELECT DISTINCT con.[ConsultantID]

    ,Con.FirstName + ' ' + Con.LastName AS ConsultantName

    ,List.ListType

    ,MAX(con.EffectiveDate) AS EffectiveDate

    ,(SELECT DISTINCT ListType FROM uvw_ListingType With (NoLock) WHERE (ListType = @OrderTypeFilter OR @OrderTypeFilter IS NULL AND ListType <> 'UFO')) AS List

    FROM [Consultant] AS Con With (NoLock)

    WHERE Con.ConsultantID = @ConsultantID

    GROUP BY Con.ConsultantID ) AS Listing

    This query won't run fast, but it should compile.

    Correlated sub-queries will kill your performance. Also, depending on the clustered indexes, statistics, etc., instead of MAX with a GROUP BY, you might try getting TOP(1) with an ORDER BY. In some situations that can be faster. DISTINCT is a crutch that will destroy performance.

  • I ended up doing a order by and reversing the direction.
