Access VBA error with DCOUNT - ms-access

Access is telling me the following is improper, but I can't see how.
cnt = DCount("recid", "dbo_HR_EmployeeTrainings", "EnteredDateTime > '" & CStr(DateAdd("Minute", -1, Date)) + "'")
Error given is Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument

That would be n, not minute.
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/dateadd-function-HA001228810.aspx
Why are your dates stored as strings?
Re comment try:
DCount("recid", "dbo_HR_EmployeeTrainings", "EnteredDateTime > DateAdd('n', -1, Date())")

Chain Functions, I'm getting an error from PyCharm

Chain Functions...the how to is alluding me.

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ':', got '}'

I'm trying to use an xcom_pull inside an SQL phrase executed by a Snowflake operator in Airflow.
I need the task_id name to use a variable since I want to support different tasks.
I tried this syntax but seems it is not being rendered ok.
Anyone has an idea how to do it?
This is the Python code:
for product, val in PRODUCTS_TO_EXTRACT_INC.items():
product_indicator, prefix = val
params['product_prefix'] = prefix
calculate_to_date = SnowflakeOperator(
dag=dag,
task_id=f'calculate_to_date_{prefix}',
snowflake_conn_id = SF_CONNECTION_ID,
warehouse=SF_WAREHOUSE,
database=BI_DB,
schema=STG_SCHEMA,
role=SF_ROLE,
sql= [ """
{SQL_FILE}
""".format(SQL_FILE="{% include '" + QUERIES_DIR + ETL + "/calculate_to_date.sql'" + " %}")
],
params=params
)
This is the SQL code for calculate_to_date.sql:
select '{{{{ (ti.xcom_pull(key="return_value", task_ids=["calculate_from_date_{}"])[0][0]).get("FROM_DATE") }}}}'.format(params.product_prefix) AS TO_DATE
This is the error message:
File "/home/airflow/gcs/dags/Test/queries/fact_subscriptions_events/calculate_to_date.sql", line 11, in template
select '{{{{ (ti.xcom_pull(key="return_value", task_ids=["calculate_from_date_{}"])[0][0]).get("FROM_DATE") }}}}'.format(params.product_prefix)
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ':', got '}'
the correct syntax is
select '{{ (ti.xcom_pull(key="return_value", task_ids="calculate_from_date_{}".format(params.product_prefix))[0]).get("FROM_DATE") }}' AS TO_DATE
it works like a charm

Python MySQL INSERT unicode

I'm trying to insert JSON data into an MySQL database:
def mapClients():
for d in devices:
clientMap = d['dot11.device']['dot11.device.associated_client_map'].keys()
for item in clientMap:
clientList = kr.device_by_mac(item)
times = kr.device_summary_since()
for c in clientList:
sqlMac = c['kismet.device.base.macaddr'],
sqlType = c['kismet.device.base.type'],
sqlManuf = c['kismet.device.base.manuf'],
ktime = c['kismet.device.base.last_time'],
for t in ktime:
sqlTime = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(t))
cur.execute("INSERT INTO devices(apID,mac,type,manuf,last_seen) VALUES(1,'" + str(sqlMac) + "','" + str(sqlType) + "','" + str(sqlManuf) + "','" + sqlTime + "');")
conn.commit()
mapClients()
This returns the following error:
pymysql.err.ProgrammingError: (1064, u"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'VALUES(1,'(u'58:E2:8F:CF:20:B3',)','(u'Wi-Fi Client',)','(u'Apple',)','20-10-201' at line 1")
I can see from the error that the various values are being suffixed with a 'u'. I understand through a lot of searching and learning that (I think) this means the data is unicode.
What I want to do is find a way of converting/decoding the data so the INSERT statements work. Some of the variables are tuples, some strings. Any help much appreciated.
You are inserting tuples, not strings; remove the trailing commas:
sqlMac = c['kismet.device.base.macaddr']
sqlType = c['kismet.device.base.type']
sqlManuf = c['kismet.device.base.manuf']
ktime = c['kismet.device.base.last_time']
sqlTime = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(ktime))
It’s the trailing comma that turns those expressions into tuples, and str() on a tuple gives you the container Unicode string as the u'....' representation that then clashes with the ' quoting you are adding.
Note that removes the need to loop over ktime!
Next, you really want to use SQL parameters, not string concatenation. Use placeholders instead of '" + str(...) + "', and leave handling of quoting to the database adapter:
cur.execute("""
INSERT INTO devices (apID, mac, type, manuf, last_seen)
VALUES (1, %s, %s, %s, %s)
""", (sqlMac, sqlType, sqlManuf, sqlTime))
The %s are the placeholders; depending on your exact MySQL Python library, you may need to use ? questionmarks instead.
Not only would this let you avoid having to think about quoting, it also removes a serious security issue: the JSON you load could contain a SQL injection attack and SQL parameters are the best way to neutralise that attack vector.
For the error message you posted, you have forgotten to place the closing parentheses before the VALUES in your SQL Query. The query should be like:
cur.execute("INSERT INTO devices(apID,mac,type,manuf,last_seen) VALUES(1,'" + str(sqlMac) + "','" + str(sqlType) + "','" + str(sqlManuf) + "','" + str(sqlTime) + "');")

Local variable syntax error

I'm trying to create a procedure from the MySQL API in C. My query string is as follows (in the C code):
"CREATE PROCEDURE clockOut (taskID INT UNSIGNED) "
"BEGIN "
"DECLARE #username VARCHAR(8);"
"SELECT #username = userID FROM TaskItem WHERE id=taskID;"
"UPDATE TaskItem SET onClock=0,stopTime=NOW() "
"WHERE id=taskID AND userID=#username;"
"END"
This string will ultimately be transmitted with mysql_query(), which returns error code 1064, a syntax error. What have I done wrong?
As #alk suggested, I removed the # syntax from my variables, and it worked fine.

Error on iif for color expression

I have this statement in my SSRS report.
=iif(
((Fields!lngCount2.Value-Fields!lngCount.Value)/Fields!lngCount.Value) > 0
and Fields!strSegmentName.Value ="Struggler"
or Fields!strSegmentName = "Winback"
or Fields!strSegmentName.Value = "Former",
"Green" ,
iif(
((Fields!lngCount2.Value-Fields!lngCount.Value)/Fields!lngCount.Value) < 0
and Fields!strSegmentName.Value ="New"
or Fields!strSegmentName = "Riser"
or Fields!strSegmentName.Value = "High Value",
"Green",
"Red" )
)
I'm getting the below error.
An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of
the report 'Main Report' is invalid. The Color expression for the
textbox ‘textbox8’ contains an error: [BC30518] Overload resolution
failed because no accessible '=' can be called with these arguments:
How can I resolve this error?
Think you're missing the '.value' on Fields!strSegmentName = "Riser" and or Fields!strSegmentName = "Winback"
