I am trying to produce a list of branches that haven't made any sales in the last 3 years. I have been able to produce a list of sales that are older than 3 years but not with the added condition of 0 sales in the 3 years prior.
My task is as follows: List all of the branches that have not rented out any tools for more than 3 years.
I think that I have to do a nested subquery but I cannot work out what should go where. Here are the two relevant tables with their descriptions and data values. The only value that should be returned is that for branch 70.
SQL> desc toolorder

Now, running the following query returns the orders that are 3 years old. I need to adjust it (I think) using a nested subqueries, so that it checks there are no sales in the 3 years, but cannot work out how.
SQL> select count(toolorder.orderid) as rentalcount, branch.branchid, branch.bname,
branch.address from toolorder left outer join branch on toolorder.branchid =
branch.branchid where MONTHS_BETWEEN(sysdate, dateout) > 36 group by branch.branchid,
branch.bname, branch.address order by 1 desc;
RENTALCOUNT BRANCH BNAME ADDRESS
----------- ------ --------------- -------------------------
2 30 Weston 36 Weston Road
2 10 Oxford 18 Oxford Estate
1 70 Red Rd 12-15 Red Road
The easiest way to do this is to get the maximum dateout for each branchid and check that it is more than 36 months in the bast:
select b.*
from branch b join
(select branchid, max(dateout) as maxd
from toolorder
group by branchid
) tob
on b.branchid = tob.branchid
where MONTHS_BETWEEN(sysdate, tob.maxd) > 36;
