SQL Server : return most frequently occurring values (and counts) from across 9 columns in one table -


i have sql server 2005 database table (expenseformitems) (among other things) stores street addresses across 11 columns (fromtravel, totravel, totravel1, totravel2, totravel3....totravel9).

basically trip 11 total legs/stops, google calculated mileage/etc (not important here).

i able return (say 15) occurring addresses across 11 columns, number of times occur.

so basically

[to]             [occurrances] ============== address1               328 address2               233 address3               112 .... address15               23

i'm guessing sort of un/pivot in use here, i've never done cool enough have used 1 before, not grasping how apply (what i've read them) case.

tia

it sounds want unpivot data take data columns , convert rows.

the basic structure be:

select col, address expenseformitems unpivot (   address   col in (fromtravel, totravel, totravel1,               totravel2, totravel3, totravel4,               totravel5, totravel6, totravel7,                totravel8, totravel9) ) unpiv

then if want find number of occurrences, can use:

select address, count(address) occurrences (   select col, address   expenseformitems   unpivot   (     address     col in (fromtravel, totravel, totravel1,                 totravel2, totravel3, totravel4,                 totravel5, totravel6, totravel7,                  totravel8, totravel9)   ) unpiv ) d group address  order occurrences desc;

if wanted return 15 frequent addresses, add top 15 select.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
