Hi everybody, I have a script that runs every night and produces a list of a few error conditions and the number.
My manager would like it in a form where he can produce some charts in a spreadsheet (that's probably why he's a manager ";-). So the table I store the errormessages in has a format like this: CREATE TABLE repport_history ( rundate date, errordescription character varying(255), number bigint ) And I would like an output with something like: 06/22 06/23 06/24 06/25 ERROR1 10 10 9 8 ERROR2 250 300 220 200 ERROR3 4 2 0 0 (probably in csv or something like that but that is the easy part ";-) The problems are: - how to create a dynamic result type? (is that possible in a stored procedure?) - how to make sure that missing records are reported as 0 (some errors might not have entries on some dates) Has somebody ever made a generic solution for something like this? (or do I need a reporting tool?) Thanks in advance, Reinoud -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
