    Question Sql Select from group by

    Bolds and Arrows is another part of the criteria - each selection must have at least 1 bold and 1 arrow hence the > 1 but as this is easier to implement I've only just mentioned it. I'll look at adding race = @race as you suggested, at the moment however from the main screen they select if they...

    Question Sql Select from group by

    Question Sql Select from group by

    I believe the last query example you provided me with was SELECT TOP(3) * FROM VsrData ORDER BY (B - FDB) DESC I modified your code as follows - Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM VsrData where bolds > 1 and arrows > 1 ORDER BY (b-fdb) desc, Jockey DESC, TRAINER desc" When I run that as a...

    Question Sql Select from group by

    Actually its B the highest and FDB the lowest, so the first example (5-2) would indicate a selection and the others would be disregarded. B - FDB 5 - 2 4 - 3 3 - 4 2 - 5 The majority of the time we will always produce the 3 best, the only exception is on the rare occasion where there are only...

    Question Sql Select from group by

    Each group of 3 is the result of a calculation to identify the strongest 3 horses from any race. There is a column which identifies which of the 3 we are dealing with - this is non unique and there is also a column containing a unique id, this is generated in code to prevent duplicate data...
