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.

I have a great time working in Windows networks and teaching Microsoft courses. But sometimes we all need to broaden our horizons.

Are You Ready To Assess The State of Your Cybersecurity?

We are very proud of our NIST CSF courses. The reviews have been fantastic! Many organizations take that knowledge and create or improve a cybersecurity program on their own. In the Bootcamp/Practitioner classes we get very specific as to what that program could contain and how it might be organized. However, we’ve heard from clients that they want more. They need a partner to come alongside and help them through the process of discovering exactly where they are in cybersecurity. What’s going well, what are the gaps and what should be done to close them?
