Topic: MYSQL DAYOFWEEK() DAYNAME()

hello,

Please i need help with correct syntax.
i have a customer table, with field fullname (string), monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday (all boolean). this day of week will be a checkbox on a form. i can check 1-3 items as the delivery schedule (ex. monday, thursday, sunday).
I want to display customers on a grid or combo box if they are check for the current day. (ex. today is Wednesday, if a customer wednesday field is true then this customer will be displayed in the list.)
Option 1, I try to use Search button and load it to Grid but I cant make query works, the idea is like this:
SELECT DayName(CURDATE()) AS myDay
if myday = 'Sunday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE sunday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Monday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Monday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Tuesday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Tuesday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Wednesday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Wednesday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Thursday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Thursday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Friday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Friday = True
ELSEIF myday = 'Saturday' THEN
    SELECT id, fullname FROM customer WHERE Saturday = True 
END IF

option 2, i try the scripting to add it in combo box. it could work but i have problem going to the next record?

if intDayWeek = 1 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount FROM customer WHERE sunday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 2 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE monday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 3 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE tuesday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 4 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE wednesday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 5 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE thursday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 6 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE friday=True', Results)
else if intDayWeek = 7 then SQLQuery('SELECT count(id) as iCount,fullname FROM customer WHERE saturday=True', Results)
else showmessage('wrong day');
    rCnt := results.fieldbyname('iCount').asinteger;
    for i := 0 to rCnt-1 do
    begin
       Form1.cbSchedule.dbAddRecord(i,Results.FieldByName('fullname').AsString);
       results.next //????
    end;
    Results.Free;

I have tried to make this work my self but my limited skills dont allow me. Can someone please help me correct the syntax for the best approach of what I need to accomplished? Either option 1 or 2 will do.

Thanks a lot!

Re: MYSQL DAYOFWEEK() DAYNAME()

Hi,
Quite a few different ways to approach this, I imagine.
The easiest way of all would simply be to use a tablegrid and have filters on each of the days - click the appropriate filter for whatever day of the week and the rows in the tablegrid adjust accordingly.  And you shouldn't need to use a script with this approach.
But if you want to see a delivery schedule for discrete days in a separate tablegrid, then I think I'd try it this way (see attached);  I've tried to keep the script to a minimum.
As per your write-up, when you run the program, it defaults to the current day of the week and customers who have deliveries for that day.
But I imagine someone is always going to want to know about tomorrow etc etc (LOL!), so just enter a different day number (Monday = 1 - Sunday = 7) and you can see different schedules for different days.  And if you enter a space, it shows ALL schedules.  Deleting the number (or the space), clears the tablegrid.
Perhaps this gives you some ideas.
Derek.

This is a clever solution derek! I will apply this now but I feel like my loading time is getting longer and heavy the more objects I add. I already have tons of images because I use it as buttons (like hovering effects switching images). Still I would love to learn how to make my sample mySQL statement or script to work, this will also help me solve future problem. Thanks a lot as always for the sample I will use this so I can run my system sooner. smile

Re: MYSQL DAYOFWEEK() DAYNAME()

Hi,
I take your point about loading times.
Attached is a slightly different approach you could try (I've replaced the multiple tablegrid approach in my earlier suggestion with a single tablegrid and a script that filters/hides columns as required.  Probably it's a more efficient way of doing it.
Just enter 'MON', 'TUE', 'WED' etc to get your daily delivery schedules or 'blank' to see everything.
Regards,
Derek.

Thanks a lot derek! this is much better smile cheers!

Re: MYSQL DAYOFWEEK() DAYNAME()

Just a final thought - if you wanted to see which customers have weekend delivery schedules (ie Saturday or Sunday), you could add something like this to the script:
  if form1.edit1.text = 'W/E' then
    begin
      form1.tablegrid1.dbFilter := '(sat = "1") or (sun = "1")';
      derekhidecols;
      form1.tablegrid1.columns[6].visible := true;
      form1.tablegrid1.columns[7].visible := true;
    end;
Derek.
