Hay Greg,
Unfortunately, I cant make any changes to the database. during upgrades of
the software, a checksum is validated.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] SQL statement.
Darragh,
Just taking a quick look a the situation, couldn't you do a inner join on
these tables which would serve to merge the information, of course that
would make the select a little more complicated but as long as the tables
aren't huge it should be able to be done or do you think I am "barking up
the wrong tree".
Greg B.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] SQL statement.
Hello,
I'm kind of hitting a mental block with an SQL statement.
I think I'll be restricted to only uisng one statement to accomplish this
goal.
I have four pieces of information in four tables.
I need to merge all this information into one report.
This is for a call management system that I'm in the process of
installing.
the tables are
incidents
incident-assets
assets
asset types.
Assets are assigned to a type.
for example. all the gx 745's will be assigned to the workstation type.
I need the tool to be able to report on the number of incidents per asset
type.
here's a really high overview of the colums in each table.
assets
id, name, model and type.
asset types
type-id type-name
incidents
incident id.
incident-assets
incident-id and asset-id
so, I have the incident and the asset id in the same table.
Sorry, this next bit is as much for my thought process as it is to be
descriptive.
If I used nested select statements, could I select * from incidents and
order by incident_assets
my problem is I need to get information out of two different tables to
complete the output.
In english, it would have to be select everything from incidents where the
incident.id field was the same as the id field in the incident-assets
table. we'd then need to count the incidents that had been assigned to
each type.
Finally, we'd assign the name to that type.
If I can dump this information out in some format that I can throw into
EXCEL I may be able to do something with it in terms of compiling it into
a report.
Sorry. that was really long winded but my brain is fried thinking about
it.
