SQL Queries for Patron Edge, Part II

06C0951D-0F3F-44D1-AA8F-3C9415303DC1 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:19:00 GMT

Continuing on yesterday’s theme, here are a few more tables and joins to do with what you will. We’ll start with the SubsStaticReport table this time, which is a data warehouse table that contains all of your subscriptions and memberships.

select *
from SubsStaticReport
inner join Clients on Clients.cltCode = ssrSubsNum
inner join StatusType on StatusType.stsStatus = ssrRenewalStatus

ssrSubsNum - Corresponds to Clients.cltCode
ssrCurrentStatus and ssrRenewalStatus – Correspond to the StatusType lookup table
ssrLastTransact – for series/memberships that are edited or canceled, this field points to ssrTransactNum of the original series/membership

Now let’s add on commissions and discounts:

select *
from SubsStaticReport
inner join Clients on Clients.cltCode = ssrSubsNum
inner join StatusType on StatusType.stsStatus = ssrRenewalStatus
inner join CalculatedCommission on CalculatedCommission.clcTicketNum = rpsTickCode and clcType = 4

You can refer to SQL Queries for Patron Edge, Part I to see what all the commission fields mean. Leave a comment below with your questions!

SQL Queries for Patron Edge, Part I

06C0951D-0F3F-44D1-AA8F-3C9415303DC1 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:12:00 GMT

While giving a session at the Museum Computer Network conference on extracting data from a Patron Edge database, one of the attendees suggested creating a handful of sample queries. The idea is that with some samples showing the important table joins, users can run with them, expand on them, or even just push them directly into Excel to do pivot tables.

With that in mind, here are a couple of samples to get started:

select *
from ReportStatic
inner join Clients on Clients.cltCode = rpsMailingList
inner join Orders on Orders.ordCode = rpsOrder

The ReportStatic table is one of the major data warehouse tables in the system. It has a row for every ticket sale and return, including event tickets that are part of a subscription. Below are some useful fields that aren’t intuitive without having worked in the back end for a while. Check them out:

rpsTickCode – For single tickets, this is the Tickets.tiCode field. For subscription event tickets, it is the TicketsSubscription.tisCode field
rpsMailingList – Corresponds to Clients.cltCode
rpsOrder – Corresponds to Orders.ordCode
rpsSaleStatus – Active tickets have a status of 1, canceled tickets are a 9
rpsTickType – Corresponds to Colors.clrStatus
rpsPriceLevel – Corresponds to Tariff.taCode

Now, let’s add a little more to the query:

select *
from ReportStatic
inner join Clients on Clients.cltCode = rpsMailingList
inner join Orders on Orders.ordCode = rpsOrder
inner join CalculatedCommission on CalculatedCommission.clcTicketNum = rpsTickCode

This gives us some new fields to look at:

clcCommission – Corresponds to Commission.cmsCode
clcCachInOut – 0 means a positive amount (i.e. commission), 1 is a negative amount (i.e. discount)
clcType – 1 for single tickets, 4 for memberships/subscriptions
clcStatus – 0 for active, 9 for returned

Hopefully this will help you get started writing your own queries and reports. Be sure to leave a comment here, or start a new thread on the Patron Edge forum, with questions and to share your own queries.

Talk Now: Sponsorship Puzzle

8b9f0e08-8fb4-4cfc-9f37-481188b88382 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:41:00 GMT

Whether it is a brick, a seat, a tree or a bench - If you can label it - You can sponsor it!

The majority of cultural organisations engaged with sponsorship offer a target campaign, such as Adopt a Tree, Name a Seat etc - For a fixed sum donation, your supporters can place their name and a message on the 'Seat'.

However, the question is for how long should an adoption be valid?

What happens if the adopted object is damaged / moved / replaced?

If the appeal is part of a wider campaign (E.g. a Capital Build)?

Compton Verney advocate a resourceful approach to Sponsorship E.g. Adopt a Tree

Here the organisation stipulates the terms upon which a Tree will be replaced.

What do you think - should an adoption have an expiry date?

An expiry date enables the organisation to solicit a new donor(s) - but does that devalue the opportunity in the first place? Does it mean you need to ask for a smaller donation to begin with?

You are welcome to comment, discuss and share best practice with every post on Ticket Talk.

All you need to do is register with the website. We look forward to reading your comments.
