Question

I’m using SQL-SERVER 2005.

I have two tables as you can see on diagram, CellularUsers and CellularPayments. I need to get users who needs to be charged when there are few rules:

1. if last CellularPayments.paymentSum of userID was 8 then select all
   userID and userCellularNumbers where
   CellularPayments.date>getdate()
2. if last CellularPayments.paymentSum of userID was 18 then select all
   userID and userCellularNumbers where
   dateadd(dd,7,CellularPayments.date)>getdate()

how i do it right now but it doesn’t looks right to me

select cu.userID,cu.userCellularNumber from CellularUsers cu
left join CellularPayments cp
on cu.userID=cp.userID
where cu.isPaymentRecurring=1
and isActivated=1
and cp.paymentID in (select max(paymentID) from CellularPayments group by userID)

thanks in advance

Answer 1

If I’m following your logic correctly, adding the following AND statement to the where clause should do it:

and dateadd( dd
            ,case cp.PaymentSum
               when 8 then 0
               when 18 then 7
               else [AppropriateDefaultValue]
             end
            ,CellularPayments.date) > getdate()

(I’d also make it an inner join.)
