We would now like to get the total amount of tickets sold per year starting with 1979, but not including those with over 10,000,000 tickets sold. The result will be sorted by year.
To do this, we must total all the tickets sold for every movie in each year more recent than 1979, remove those where the total amount of tickets sold is greater than 10,000,000, and then sort the result by year.
- The initial query in 4D code would be:
ARRAY INTEGER(aMovieYear;0)
ARRAY LONGINT(aSoldTickets;0)
C_LONGINT($MovieYear;$vCrtMovieYear;$i;$MinSoldTickets;$vInd)
REDUCE SELECTION([MOVIES];0)
$MovieYear:=1979
$MinSoldTickets:=10000000
QUERY([MOVIES];[MOVIES]Year_of_Movie>=$MovieYear)
ORDER BY([MOVIES];[MOVIES]Year_of_Movie;>)
$vCrtMovieYear:=0
$vInd:=Size of array(aMovieYear)
For($i;1;Records in selection([MOVIES]))
If([MOVIES]Year_of_Movie#$vCrtMovieYear)
$vCrtMovieYear:=[MOVIES]Year_of_Movie
If(aSoldTickets{$vInd}<$MinSoldTickets)
$vInd:=$vInd+1
INSERT IN ARRAY(aMovieYear;$vInd;1)
aMovieYear{$vInd}:=$vCrtMovieYear
INSERT IN ARRAY(aSoldTickets;$vInd;1)
Else
aSoldTickets{$vInd}:=0
End if
End if
aSoldTickets{$vInd}:=aSoldTickets{$vInd}+[MOVIES]Sold_Tickets
NEXT RECORD([MOVIES])
End for
If(aSoldTickets{$vInd}>=$MinSoldTickets)
DELETE FROM ARRAY(aSoldTickets;$vInd;1)
DELETE FROM ARRAY(aMovieYear;$vInd;1)
End if
ARRAY TEXT(aTitles;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aDirectors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aMedias;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY LONGINT(aNrActors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
- Using SQL code, the above query becomes:
ARRAY INTEGER(aMovieYear;0)
ARRAY LONGINT(aSoldTickets;0)
C_LONGINT($MovieYear;$MinSoldTickets)
$MovieYear:=1979
$MinSoldTickets:=10000000
Begin SQL
SELECT Year_of_Movie, SUM(Sold_Tickets)
FROM MOVIES
WHERE Year_of_Movie >= :$MovieYear
GROUP BY Year_of_Movie
HAVING SUM(Sold_Tickets) < :$MinSoldTickets
ORDER BY 1
INTO :aMovieYear, :aSoldTickets;
End SQL
ARRAY TEXT(aTitles;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aDirectors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aMedias;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY LONGINT(aNrActors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
- Using generic SQL commands, the above query becomes:
C_TEXT($tQueryTxt)
ARRAY INTEGER(aMovieYear;0)
ARRAY LONGINT(aSoldTickets;0)
C_LONGINT($MovieYear;$MinSoldTickets)
$MovieYear:=1979
$MinSoldTickets:=10000000
SQL LOGIN(SQL_INTERNAL;"";"")
$tQueryTxt:=""
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+"SELECT Year_of_Movie, SUM(Sold_Tickets)"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" FROM MOVIES"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" WHERE Year_of_Movie >= :$MovieYear"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" GROUP BY Year_of_Movie"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" HAVING SUM(Sold_Tickets) < :$MinSoldTickets"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" ORDER BY 1"
SQL EXECUTE($tQueryTxt;aMovieYear;aSoldTickets)
SQL LOAD RECORD(SQL all records)
SQL LOGOUT
ARRAY TEXT(aTitles;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aDirectors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aMedias;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY LONGINT(aNrActors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
- Using the SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command, the query above becomes:
C_TEXT($tQueryTxt)
ARRAY INTEGER(aMovieYear;0)
ARRAY LONGINT(aSoldTickets;0)
C_LONGINT($MovieYear;$MinSoldTickets)
$MovieYear:=1979
$MinSoldTickets:=10000000
$tQueryTxt:=""
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+"SELECT Year_of_Movie, SUM(Sold_Tickets)"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" FROM MOVIES"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" WHERE Year_of_Movie >= :$MovieYear"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" GROUP BY Year_of_Movie"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" HAVING SUM(Sold_Tickets) < :$MinSoldTickets"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" ORDER BY 1"
$tQueryTxt:=$tQueryTxt+" INTO :aMovieYear, :aSoldTickets;"
Begin SQL
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :$tQueryTxt;
End SQL
ARRAY TEXT(aTitles;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aDirectors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY TEXT(aMedias;Size of array(aMovieYear))
ARRAY LONGINT(aNrActors;Size of array(aMovieYear))
