Question

I have a database which maintains interactions with my application, a log kinds.

I want to generate reports for total interactions per day in a month. What is the best possible way to write a procedure that would return up 30 values, each value representing the count for a day?

I am using SQL Server 2005. I retrieve these values in a .NET code, upon which I want to run my algorithm.

Thanks.

Your sql query will look like the following.

select top 30 DATEPART(day, InteractionDate) as Day, COUNT(1) as Interactions from logTable group by DATEPART(day, InteractionDate)

In .NET you can use SqlDataReader and store values in a List
