How Many Days Since Previous/First Order?

10/10/2017 by LRS Education Services

Some of the most popular courses we teach are the ones dealing with writing SQL queries against SQL Server.

Actually, these students were working in the healthcare industry, and they wanted to know the number of days since a patient’s most recent appointment and the number of days since the same patient’s first appointment, but we’ll adopt the question to order data to make it easy to practice with the many variations of SQL Server sample databases.

Miss This and Your Cybersecurity Program Will Fail

Amidst all the different security technologies, such as firewalls, antivirus, encryption, etc. an entire critical category, which may be the most important, becomes either an afterthought or even ignored. In fact, without careful work in this area your other security devices and applications will be ineffective. Let’s be clear. Organizations who fail in this area are many times more likely to suffer a costly data breach. Not 50% more likely, or twice as likely but a breach becomes an almost certainty.
