I am having a bit of a hard time with a script and wanted to reach out to my favorite group of smart people to help me solve it.
I have a script to pull a bunch of data in SQL. It is basically this:
Group Name | Account Number
Group 1 | 12345
Group 1 | 257809
Group 2 | 11111
etc...
I am tryign to write a script to pull a random sample of ten percent (rounded up) from the population. That, in itself, was a pain to figure otu because there is no OOtB way to round up in SQL. I figured it out though.
But now the new problem arises: I need to pull 10% of each group, not 10% of the whole population. So if I have 5 accounts in Group 1, 12 in Group 2, 3 In Group 3, 1 in Group 4, and 20 in Group 5, I need to pull 1 account each from groups 1, 3, and 4, and 2 accounts each from groups 2 and 5.
And I have no bloody clue how to do that!
