NewBoard Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I have used the combination of ExecuteSQL and ValueCount quite a few times throughout my databases before, with almost no issues. Generally what I will do is set a variable by running an ExecuteSQL, then take a ValueCount of that variable. Then with that ValueCount I will loop through my original ExecuteSQL variable. However, I am now trying to do something different with this combination. Instead of using the ValueCount variable for a loop, I'm trying to use it as a Global Variable that will be displayed on the main menu. Here is an example of the code I'm trying to use: Set Variable [$source; Value: ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT UUID FROM Inspections WHERE Inspector = ? AND Accepted ≠ Accepted" ; "" ; "" ; $$fullName )] Set Variable [$$accepted; Value: ValueCount ( $source )] The UUID field is, as expected, an auto-entered "Get ( UUID )" field. The Inspection table is a table containing all of our part inspections. Each inspection begins with it's Accepted field having a value of "Rejected", if the correct parameters are met this field will become "Accepted". The Inspector field contains the first and last name of whomever conducted the part inspection. The $$fullName variable is set previously in this same script by comparing the user's Username to a Table that contains all of our user's Usernames and Full Names. What I was hoping to do is use a Merge Variable on our main menu that displays our $$accepted variable, showing the user how many unaccepted inspections from that particular user in our database. However, it only ever displays a value of "1". One of our users has 6 unaccepted inspections in our database currently, but this script only shows that he has 1. I am wondering if you can't use Merge Variables or ExecuteSQL in this way, or if I'm simply missing something obvious. Please let me know of any more information I should provide. Thank you for any assistance you may offer! Edited October 26, 2017 by NewBoard
bcooney Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 ESQL does not support ≠. Try IS NOT or <> Also, I would strongly suggest that you store an id for the related Inspector in your Inspections table, rather than trying to match on names. $$accepted = "Select Count(1) FROM Inspections WHERE id_inspector = ? and Accepted <> 'Accepted' " ; "" ; "" ; $id_inspector" Bev Voth's indispensable SQL guide
