  • 0

Okay, so I am trying to get a given output in SQL to list a custom quarter value along with an accounts given activation and termination date. My company uses an off-standard quarter reckoning so I created a little schema matching the custom quarter recognition to standard months. The query works great until i try to get the thing to also include the termination quarter as well.

I am going to use this as a view and generate a report from its results. Here is the query thus far. I recognize that I am not very good SQL yet so i am trying hard to use best practices and easily readable code. Please feel free to critique anything at all or perhaps suggest a more efficient way of achieving my goal.

SELECT ZoneA.ZoneDescription
        ,TrackerA.Zone
        ,MasterListA.Name
        ,SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate
        ,SubscriptionsA.TerminationDate
        ,ParentA.ProductParentType
        ,MONTH(SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate) AS ActivationMonth
        ,MONTH(SubscriptionsA.TerminationDate) AS TerminationMonth
        ,QuartersA.CompanyFiscalQuarter AS ActivationQuarter
        ,QuartersB.CompanyFiscalQuarter AS TerminationQuarter
FROM BalanceTracker.Zone AS ZoneA INNER JOIN
        BalanceTracker.TrackerAccounts AS TrackerA ON ZoneA.ZoneID = TrackerA.Zone INNER JOIN
        BalanceTracker.SweepAccounts AS SweepA ON TrackerA.TrackedAccount = SweepA.SweepAccount INNER JOIN
        Fed.MasterAccountList AS MasterListA ON SweepA.MasterAccountListID = MasterListA.MasterAccountListID INNER JOIN
        Products.Subscriptions AS SubscriptionsA ON MasterListA.MasterAccountListID = SubscriptionsA.SnlId INNER JOIN
        Products.ProductParent AS ParentA ON SubscriptionsA.ProductCode = ParentA.ProductCode INNER JOIN
        Calendar.Quarters AS QuartersA ON SubscriptionsA.ActivationMonth = QuartersA.MonthNumber,
        Products.Subscriptions AS SubscriptionsB INNER JOIN
        Calendar.Quarters AS QuartersB ON SubscriptionsB.TerminationMonth = QuartersB.CompanyFiscalQuarter
ORDER BY TrackerA.Zone, SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate

Tables are as follows:

-Zone: ZoneID (PK)
-TrackerAccounts: Tracked Account (PK), Zone (FK)
-SweepAccounts: SweepAccount (PK, FK on TrackerAccounts), MasterAccountListId (FK on MasterAccountList)
-MasterAccountList: MasterAccountListId (PK)
-Subscriptions: SubscriptionId (PK), SnlId (FK on MasterAccountList), ProductCode (FK on ProductParent)
-ProductParent: ProductCode (PK)

-Quarters: MonthNumber (PK)

    Your problem is that when you say , Products.Subscriptions AS SubscriptionsB you’re doing a cross join, so it’s going to output NxN rows where N is the total number of subscriptions. I doubt you need that join at all, since you don’t appear to be using any values from that instance i.e this should work just fine:

    SELECT ZoneA.ZoneDescription
        ,TrackerA.Zone
        ,MasterListA.Name
        ,SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate
        ,SubscriptionsA.TerminationDate
        ,ParentA.ProductParentType
        ,MONTH(SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate) AS ActivationMonth
        ,MONTH(SubscriptionsA.TerminationDate) AS TerminationMonth
        ,QuartersA.CompanyFiscalQuarter AS ActivationQuarter
        ,QuartersB.CompanyFiscalQuarter AS TerminationQuarter
FROM BalanceTracker.Zone AS ZoneA INNER JOIN
        BalanceTracker.TrackerAccounts AS TrackerA ON ZoneA.ZoneID = TrackerA.Zone INNER JOIN
        BalanceTracker.SweepAccounts AS SweepA ON TrackerA.TrackedAccount = SweepA.SweepAccount INNER JOIN
        Fed.MasterAccountList AS MasterListA ON SweepA.MasterAccountListID = MasterListA.MasterAccountListID INNER JOIN
        Products.Subscriptions AS SubscriptionsA ON MasterListA.MasterAccountListID = SubscriptionsA.SnlId INNER JOIN
        Products.ProductParent AS ParentA ON SubscriptionsA.ProductCode = ParentA.ProductCode INNER JOIN
        Calendar.Quarters AS QuartersA ON SubscriptionsA.ActivationMonth = QuartersA.MonthNumber LEFT JOIN
        Calendar.Quarters AS QuartersB ON SubscriptionsA.TerminationMonth = QuartersB.CompanyFiscalQuarter
ORDER BY TrackerA.Zone, SubscriptionsA.ActivationDate
