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. Recently I had some students ask how, for each order, can I see the number of days since the customer’s most recent order, as well as the number of days since the customer’s first order. 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. How to solve the problem? SQL Server Window Functions to the rescue.

Security+ is Important TODAY!

It doesn’t matter if you are at a small business or a very large company, cybersecurity is more important today than it has ever been! As we move into the holiday season, retail cybersecurity is dominating our attention, but any company involved in digital transformation continues to lack the workforce needed to protect assets.

Windows Server 2019!

In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft is moving along nicely on Windows Server 2019. It’s filled with new features and improvements to features introduced in previous releases. Here are few I’m excited about:

Access vs Excel

Even though Microsoft Excel can be used for data management and fields can be calculated in Microsoft Access, the two softwares are very different, and to maximize usage in each program, it is important to understand the unique aspects of each one. Likely, they are both part of a subscription your company is paying for, so no additional expenses will be lost to undertake the learning curve required for one or both of the programs.

Windows Server 2016 Highlighted Features

Whether you have already decided to take the plunge and deploy Windows Server 2016, or you're on the fence about upgrading, there are many features of Windows Server 2016 that may deserve your attention.

Advantages of Skype for Business in your Organization
