I have three tables related to this particular query:
- Lawson_Employees:
LawsonID
(pk),LastName
,FirstName
,AccCode
(numeric) - Lawson_DeptInfo:
AccCode
(pk),AccCode2
(don't ask, HR set up),DisplayName
- tblExpirationDates:
EmpID
(pk),ACLS
(date),EP
(date),CPR
(date),CPR_Imported
(date),PALS
(date),Note
The goal is to get the data I need to report on all those who have already expired in one or more certification, or are going to expire in the next 90 days.
Some important notes:
- This is being run as part of a vbScript, so the 90-day date is being calculated when the script is run. I'm using
2010-08-31
as a placeholder since its the result at the time this question is being posted. - All cards expire at the end of the month. (which is why the above date is for the end of August and not 90 days on the dot)
- A valid EP card supersedes ACLS certification, but only the latter is required of some employees. (wasn't going to worry about it until I got this question answered, but if I can get the help I'll take it)
- The CPR column contains the expiration date for the last class they took with us. (NULL if they didn't take any classes with us)
- The CPR_Imported column contains the expiration date for the last class they took somewhere else. (NULL if they didn't take it elsewhere, and bravo for following policy)
- The distinction between CPR classes is important for other reports. For purposes of this report, all we really care about is which one is the most current - or at least is currently current.
- If I have to, I'll ignore ACLS and PALS for the time being as it is non-compliance with CPR training that is the big issue at the moment. (not that the others won't be, but they weren't mentioned in the last meeting...)
Here's the query I have so far, which is giving me good data:
SELECT
iEmp.LawsonID, iEmp.LastName, iEmp.FirstName,
dept.AccCode2, dept.DisplayName,
Exp.ACLS, Exp.EP, Exp.CPR, Exp.CPR_Imported, Exp.PALS, Exp.Note
FROM (Lawson_Employees AS iEmp
LEFT JOIN Lawson_DeptInfo AS dept ON dept.AccCode = iEmp.AccCode)
LEFT JOIN tblExpirationDates AS Exp ON iEmp.LawsonID = Exp.EmpID
WHERE iEmp.CurrentEmp = 1
AND ((Exp.ACLS <= #2010-08-31#
AND Exp.ACLS IS NOT NULL)
OR (Exp.CPR <= #2010-08-31#
AND Exp.CPR_Imported <= #2010-08-31#)
OR (Exp.PALS <= #2010-08-31#
AND Exp.PALS IS NOT NULL))
ORDER BY dept.AccCode2, iEmp.LastName, iEmp.FirstName;
After perusing the result set, I think I'm missing some expiration dates that should be in the result set. Am I missing something? This is the sucky part of being the only developer in the department... no one to ask for a little help.
