Report for mislabeled Computer Descriptions

Hi,

I'm trying to put together a MySql Query to determine which machines on my network have a improper computer description. Our standard is last name, first name in the description. I'm not sure it is even possible, but this so far has come close:

select distinct MACHINE.NAME as MNAME, MACHINE.SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION as MDESCRIPT
from (MACHINE,MACHINE_DISKS, MACHINE_NICS)
where MACHINE.ID = MACHINE_DISKS.ID
  and MACHINE.ID = MACHINE_NICS.ID
  and MACHINE.SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION not like '%, %'
order by MNAME

It may not be possible and I'm no SQL guru, so I'd figured I'd ask.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
Kirk

What do you get when you run the report? Your SQL includes some things it really doesn't need, here's a very basic statement that should find what you're looking for:

select NAME, SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION 
from MACHINE
where SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION not like '%, %'
order by NAME
