Question

I have a PHP application which runs a large set of SQL files. It runs all of them successfully apart from this one which returns the result “1” as apposed to an array of objects. Is there a syntax issue with this sql?

set datefirst 1;

select  top 10 artistlabel_name
        , album_name
        , releasedate
        , label
        , sum(units) total_units
        , sum(sales) total_sales 
from    (
          select  c.[name] album_name
                  , isnull(d.[name]
                  , e.[name]) artistlabel_name
                  , c.releasedate
                  , e.[name] label
                  , sum(b.price) sales
                  , count(b.Id) units 
          from    [order] a 
                  left join orderalbum b on b.orderId = a.Id
                  left join album c on b.albumId = c.Id
                  left join label e on c.labelId = e.Id
                  left outer join artist d on c.artistId = d.Id
          where   a.successful=1
                  and datepart(ww, a.OrderDate) = datepart(ww, getDate())-1
                  and datepart(yyyy, a.OrderDate) = datepart(yyyy, getDate())
          group by 
                  c.[name]
                  , isnull(d.[name], ,e.[name])
                  , c.releasedate
                  , e.[name]
          union
          select  e.[name] album_name
                  , isnull(d.[name], f.[name]) artistlabel_name
                  , e.releasedate
                  , f.[name] label
                  , sum(b.price) sales
                  , count(b.Id) units 
          from    [order] a left join orderalbum b on b.orderId = a.Id
                  left join albumvariant c on b.albumvariantId = c.Id
                  left join album e on c.albumId = e.Id
                  left join label f on e.labelId = f.Id
                  left outer join artist d on e.artistId = d.Id
          where   a.successful=1
                  and datepart(ww, a.OrderDate) = datepart(ww, getDate())-1
                  and datepart(yyyy, a.OrderDate) = datepart(yyyy, getDate())
          group by 
                  e.[name]
                  , isnull(d.[name], f.[name])
                  , e.releasedate
                  , f.[name]
        ) x
group by 
        x.album_name, 
        x.artistlabel_name, 
        x.releasedate, 
        x.label
having  sum(x.sales) > 0 
        and album_name is not null
order by 
        total_units desc;

Hopefully there’s an MSSQL ninja out there who can help me.

Answer 1

I would imagine that this query is returning two result sets, the first from set datefirst 1; and then the second.

Read the second result set in your PHP application.
