Why would you have different procedures for different activities?
I will have to admit that I don't get a very good understanding of
what you are trying to achieve. But a standard recommendation is that
you post:
1) CREATE TABLE statement for your table(s).
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired result given the sample.
Of course, this assumes that the data model is set, and neither that is
clear to me. Then again, if you post what you have now, we may get a
better grip of where you're heading.
