Please Advice !

Hi,

I am trying to solve this procedure.

Let me try to explain it...I am getting DEGREEID from one of the SELECT query . I want to OUTPUT (ie , COUNT) from procedure,the number of departments with the degreeid, got from the above query.

With below procedure, Since an employee can have multiple DEGREEID , the cursor is giving OUPTUT ie, COUNT for the LAST Degreeid. Eventhough the previous DEGREEID dont have any DEPARTMENT...but only for the LAST DEGREEID...!

How can I solve this.... whether I can solve this with CURSOR or I have to use someother way...Please advice me !

DATA
---
DEGREE_EARNED
-------
EMPID DEGREEID
-- ----
201 12
201 3
201 250
202 3
202 10
203 17

DEPARTMENT
-----
DEPID DEGREEID
-- ----
10 1 12
111 250
111 12
121 3
121 12
121 250
-----------



---------------------
DECLARE @.vchid int
DECLARE testcursor CURSOR FOR

SELECT degree_id
FROM degree_earned WHERE emp_id= @.empid

OPEN testcursor
FETCH NEXT FROM testcursor INTO @.vchid

WHILE (@.@.FETCH_STATUS <> -1)

BEGIN
Select @.outresult = COUNT(*)
from
department
where degree_id = @.vchid

FETCH NEXT FROM testcursor INTO @.vchid
END
---------------------Can somebody help me,please (:|||So is what you want something like:EMPID DEGREEID DEPT_COUNT
-- --- ----
201 12 2
201 3 1
201 250 2
202 3 1
202 10 0
203 17 0I don't understand exactly what you want, so I can't be much help until I do. Sorry!
