 Build data queries to take home
 Questions & Answers
Introductions and Credentials
 Fleet Services Team Leader
 FASTER Staff Member for 12 Years
 All Script Requests / Conversions Go through FS
 Oracle OCP, MSSQL DBA Training
 Worked with you and your staff learning fleet
during my tenure, never worked in the industry,
here’s my fleet …
 Goal: “Get some data out”!
Data Mining: What Is It?
 The process of extracting patterns from data.
 Knowing what to ask.
 Knowing how to ask.
 Knowing how to present the data.
Educating Our Consumers
 There is a tendency for insufficiently
knowledgeable "consumers" of the results to
attribute "magical abilities" to data mining,
treating the technique as a sort of all-seeing
crystal ball.
Sample Set vs. Entire Population
 The discovery of a particular pattern in a
particular set of data does not necessarily mean
that pattern is representative of the whole
population from which that data was drawn.
Hence, an important part of the process is the
verification and validation of patterns on
other samples of data
Types of Results
 Result Sets
 Lists
 All Assets in Company 001
 Comparisons
 Parts Obsolescence
 Trends
 Asset Historical Cost Per Meter by Month

 How many assets are in the fleet?, in a
Department?, in a Class?, in a Shop?, are Take
Home Vehicles?, are Off-Road Vehicles?
 Let’s look at some queries …
Real-Life Examples
 Comparisons
 FASTER Search and Query, Standard Reports, Custom
Reports & Queries
 Do I have enough technicians?, enough Bays?,
am I stocking the right parts?, do I have
adequate staffing in the parts room?
 Are my vehicles being under/over utilized?, are
there vehicles that should be sending up red
flags (CPM/MPG)?, which ones need replacing?

How to Build a Query
 Select
 The columns to be selected for the result set. The
select list is a series of expressions separated by
commas.
 All, Distinct, *
 Specific Column Names
 Formulas
 Select EHKey, EHCompany, …
 Select Count(EHKey), …
How to Build a Query
 From
 Specifies the tables, views, and joined tables used in
DELETE, SELECT, and UPDATE statements.
 Select … From faster.Eheader
 Select … From faster.Eheader JOIN faster.EPM on
(Eheader.EHUID = EPM.EPEHuid)
 Inner (only matches)
 Full Outer (All rows)
 Left Outer (All matches, includes rows from left)
 Right Outer (All matches, includes rows from right)
How to Build a Query
 Where
 Specifies the condition for the rows returned by a
query. Defines the condition to be met for the rows to
be returned. There is no limit to the number of
conditions.
 Select … From … Where
 EHeader.EHUID = WHeader.WHEHUID and
 Wheader.WHUID = WLabor.WLWHUID and
 WLabor.WLRTY like ‘PM%’
How to Build a Query
 Group By
 Divides a table into groups. Groups can consist of
column names or results or computed columns.
 Select … From … Where …
 Group by EHeader.EHClass, EHeader.EHYear
How to Build a Query
 Order By
 Specifies the sort for the result set.
 Select … From … Where … Group By …
 Order By EHeader.EHClass, EHeader. EHYear
Our Query
 Select EH…
 From EH…
 Where faster.EHeader, …
 Group BY EHeader.EHClass …
 Order BY EHeader.EHClass …
