I have a Timecard table with fields ID int, Date date, ProjectID int,
HoursWorked decimal, Activity varchar and EmployeeID int. In the Timecard
entity there is also a derived field Week int.
I need to create access to the timecards for an employee in the form:
Week ending 11/2/2003
10/27/2003 (8.2 hours)
Activity for Project this
Activity for Project that
10/28/2003 (4.0 hours)
Activity for Project this
10/29/2003 (3.8 hours)
Activity for Project that
Week ending 11/9/2003
11/3/2003 (8.4 hours)
Activity for Project this
Activity for Project that
The old program creates nested collapsing lists with SQL commands like:
SELECT <week_formula> as week, <week_end_formula> as week_end,
sum(hoursworked) FROM timecards WHERE employeeID=1 GROUP BY week ORDER BY
week
SELECT date, sum(hoursworked) FROM timecards WHERE week=893 AND
employeeID=1 GROUP BY date ORDER BY date
SELECT concat(activity, ' for Project ', projectid) FROM Timecard WHERE
ID=4457
What is the best way to recreate this type of hierarchical list in EOF from
a single table?
Thanks,
