Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew how I could achieve the following.

If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?

I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.


------ SQL -------
SELECT
job.job_number,
(SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number)
FROM job_status_log jsl
WHERE
job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND
jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
FROM
action_officer,
central_site,
contract,
cost_code,
job,
job_status,
job_status_log,
priority
WHERE
central_site.site_code = job.site_code AND
cost_code.cost_code = job.cost_code AND
contract.contract_code = job.contract_code AND
priority.priority_code = job.priority_code AND
job.job_number = job_status_log.job_number AND
job.job_log_number = job_status_log.job_log_number AND
action_officer.officer_code = job_status_log.allocated_officer AND
job_status.status_code = job_status_log.status_code AND
(SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number)
FROM job_status_log jsl
WHERE
job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND
jsl.status_code = '0130') is not null AND
job.job_status_flag <> 'A'
ORDER BY
job.job_number desc
-----------SQL--------------

In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.

If you have any info please let me know.

can you show some sample data and explain? do you mean cases where currentjobstatus = 0130 and next log entry is one of the list (0500, 0125, or 0900) ?
