I am having brain freeze right now and was hoping someone could help me with a (fairly) simple query.
I need to join on the next row in a similar table with specific criteria.
I have a table with events per employee. I need to have a query that gives per employee each event and the event after it if it happened on the same day.
The Events table structure is:
EventID Employee EventDate EventTime EventType
I want my query resultset to be Employee,EventDate(1),EventTime(1),EventType(1),EventTime(2),EventType(2) Where Event(2) is the first event of the employee that took place after the other event.
Example EventID Employee EventDate EventTime EventType 1 John 6/15/2006 7:00 A 2 Frank 6/15/2006 7:15 B 3 Frank 6/15/2006 7:17 C 4 John 6/15/2006 7:20 C 5 Frank 6/15/2006 7:25 D 6 John 6/16/2006 7:00 A 7 John 6/16/2006 8:30 R
Expected Results John, 6/15/2006, 7:00, A, 7:20, C Frank, 6/15/2006, 7:15, B, 7:17, C Frank, 6/15/2006, 7:17, C, 7:25, D John, 6/16/2006, 7:00, A, 8:30, R
To get this result set it would have to be an inner join on employee and date where the second event time is greater then the first. But I don't want the all of the records with a greater time, just the first event after.
Thank You Sim
