Add Apostrophe To Column In Result Set


I have a brain teaser for you all.





The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).





The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example:


SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable'


EXEC(@strSQL)





Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.





I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?





TIA

Column Name As The Result Of A Query?
Simple example would look like that in MS SQL

SELECT 'a' AS (SELECT language_name FROM language WHERE language_id = 1)

So that the display is

English
a

as we assume that

SELECT language_name FROM language WHERE language_id = 1

returns only English

I have tried to that with a variable but it does not work

declare @that as varchar(15);
set @that = (select language_name_u from language where language_id = 1);
select 'a' as @that

LOL

I just tried another way as i was going to post

declare @that as varchar(15);
set @that = (select language_name_u from language where language_id = 1);
select 'a' as "@that"

and it worked!

Posting anyway so people might answer with a better solution with no variable

Thanks a lot

Aggregate (SUM) A Column And Then Use The Result?
Hi,

 

I am importing some data from Excel. I have to SUM one of the columns, and then use the result of the sum to calculate the percentages of each row. How can I use the Aggregate to give me a total of a column, so that i can use the total in another task and use formulas to calculate the percentages? i have tried to use multicast and join, but I get an extra row with the sum, which is not what I want; I want to use the sum for all the data.

 

Thanks

How To Display Result Of Different Year In Different Column Instead Of Different Row?
I am trying to display component usage in January for the past year, if I want to display the year in different column, what should I do?
eg.
component_id   component_description   qty_used_on_2005_Jan   qty_used_on_2006_Jan
C58B0BDD       tape drive                             2                                              3
Currently I am using this sql:
select cast(year(date_complete) as varchar(10)) + ' Jan' as Year, component_id, component_description,sum(component_qty) as total_qty_used
from view_jobComponent
where month(date_complete) = 1group by component_id, component_description, cast(year(date_complete) as varchar(10)) + ' Jan'order by component_id, component_description
which I will get something like this:
Year          component_id   component_description   total_qty_used
2005 Jan    C58B0BDD       tape drive                             22006 Jan    C58B0BDD       tape drive                             3

SQL 7: One Column's Value Is Repeated Throughout Entire Result Set
I'm using the following query to look in a log file and show somestatistics. It counts the total number of views and the total numberof unique users who have viewed a particular item (the "id" and"title" fields are associated with the item).SELECT title, COUNT(id) AS NumberViews, COUNT(DISTINCT UID) ASNumberUniqueUsers, Type, idFROM ActivityLogWHERE dtTime >= 'Nov 1 2004 12:00AM' AND DtTime <= 'Nov 1 200512:00AM'GROUP BY Title, Type, hdnIdORDER BY TopViewed descThis works fine on SQL Server 2000 (our development machine), but onSQL Server 7 (our production machine), the title column has the samevalue for every row. The other columns show the correct values.If I remove the "ORDER BY" clause, then it works fine. If I removethe "COUNT(DISTINCT UID)" column, it works fine. If I totally removethe WHERE clause, it works fine.Any ideas? It seems like a bug since it works fine on sql2k. I'vetried adding OPTION (MAXDOP 1) to the end of the query, but thatdidn't help.We're using SQL Server 7.0 sp1, and my boss doesn't want to riskupgrading to sp4 because it might screw up all of our otherapplications. I looked through all of the sp2 through sp4 bug fixes,and I didn't see anything specifically mentioning this.Thanks.

Dynamic Name Of Result Column In S-proc?
How can I make this stored procedure concept work:

-----------------------------------------------
Create Procedure MyProc @MyValue varchar(5)
As
Declare @ColumnName as varchar(11)
Set @ColumnName = 'Price_' + @MyValue
Select Sum(Price) As @ColumnName --????
From MyTable where Item = @MyValue
Return
-----------------------------------------------

Using @MyValue = 23 should make the Sum(Price) column name 'Price_23'. It's not working. What am I doing wrong?

How Do I Split A Column Result By A Nonalphanumeric Character?
I have a column that returns client numbers.
The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length.  A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization.
In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number.
EG:  client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number
or
         Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number.
I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns.
Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second.
Is it possible to do this?  I really need help on this one.
Thank you :)

Cannot Copy Column Names View Result Set
In SQL 2005 - when I display the results of a View and Copy all rows and columns, the resulting Paste in Excel does not include the column names.

How can I set SQL 2005 so the names of the columns will come along with the content of the copy function?

Background:

When I am using a SQL Query (instead of a view) I have the ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results.  The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.

My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query. 

Thank you,
Poppa Mike

Derived Column Based On Result Of Oracle Query
Hi,
 
I need to create a derived column for each row in a SQL dataset.
 
This derived column needs to be created by passing across two values from the SQL dataset and querying an Oracle table based on those parameters. If the Oracle query returns a record(s) then the derived column should be set to 1 otherwise leave it as default (0).
 
One of these parameters needs to check a date range so I can't use a Lookup Transformation...any ideas how I can accomplish this ?

 
Thanks

Column Order/presentation In Virtual Table (result Set From Viewor UDF)
I was just messing around with some ad hoc views and table returningUDFs today so I could look at and print out data from a small tableand noticed something strange.If I stick my select statement into a View the columns are returned inthe order I specify in the SELECT, but if the same statement is in a UDF(so I can specify a parameter), the columns are not returned in theorder specified in statement.I know that relations don't have a specified column order, but it was myunderstanding that a SELECT statement could be used to define how youwant your data presented. Views seem to respect the order specified inthe SELECT, but functions don't.What am I missing? Is there some way to force the order of the columnsreturned from a SELECT?View:CREATE VIEW dbo.View1ASSELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt,ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE '4.2.%')Column order from this view:Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt,ElseStmt, NextStmtFunction:ALTER FUNCTION dbo.Function1(@SearchPrm varchar(255))RETURNS TABLEASRETURN ( SELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt,ChildStmt, ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE @SearchPrm) )Column order from this function:Type, Text, ElseStmt, NextStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt, Ident,ParentStmt, ForStmtTable:(I know that this table isn't entirely normalized, but it serves mypurposes to have a matrix instead of a fully normalized relation):CREATE TABLE dbo.tblStmt (StmtID INT IDENTITY(1,1) CONSTRAINT PK_Stmt PRIMARY KEY,Ident VARCHAR(255),Text TEXT,ErrorText TEXT,Type INT,ParentStmt VARCHAR(255),ChildStmt VARCHAR(255),IfStmt VARCHAR(255),ForStmt VARCHAR(255),ThenStmt VARCHAR(255),ElseStmt VARCHAR(255),NextStmt VARCHAR(255),FullName VARCHAR(255),LocalName VARCHAR(255),Method INT)INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.1', 'LineNumberOfResp := EMPTY' 64, '4.2', '4.2.2')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.2', 'FOR K:= 1 TO 2', 128, '4.2', '4.2.3','4.2.7')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3', 'Person[K].KEEP', 16, '4.2', '4.2.3.1', '4.2.2', '4.2.4')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3.1' 'AuxInterviewerName := DOSENV', 64, '4.2.3', '4.2.3.2')

My objective is to use SSIS and derive three columns from the one column in Table 1 based on the positions defined in Table 2.  Table 2 is a single row table.  I thought perhaps I could use the substring function and nest the select statement in place of the parameters in the derived column data flow.  I don't seem to be able to get this to work.

 

Any ideas?  Can this be done in SSIS?

 

I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone might have.

 

Regards,

Bill

Hi Friends,
I have stored names with ' s (Apostrophes) and without 's  in the database(sqlserver).Example:O'Relly
I tried to get the values with select statement like
Dim str As String = Request.QueryString("Title")
Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM Test where title like '" + str + "'"
Problem is getting the all the values from database except O'Relly just getting O other word Relly no.....
What should do I and what code do I need ..?
 
I tried with the below code also
Dim x As Long
For x = 1 To Len(str)
If Mid$(str, x, 1) = "'" Then
str = str & "''"

Will Not Accept Apostrophe
I get this error when the user inputs a word with an apostrophe:
Incorrect syntax near 't'. Unclosed quotation mark before the character string '

Using c# this is the input command:

oCom=new SqlCommand(string.Format("INSERT INTO [database] ([name],[address], [issue],[comments],[timestamp]) VALUES({0},'{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}",val[0],val[1],val[2],txtComment.Text,tmStamp),oCon);

When users enter a comment with an aprostrophe it gives me an error, using a session array and convert it to a string[].

Any ideas?

Thanks

Apostrophe Usage
Ok, I still have some uncertainty as to just exactly how this whole apostrophe thing works with databases. I understand that it is a reserved character and so when a sql query runs into one of these creatures it looks at it as something other than a normal character.

I am working primarily in vb/asp/sql server with a little bit of access. I am familiar with the instrinsic 'Replace' function and I use it but I still have occassional problems.

I would like any information I can get on just exactly why/how this thing works and how to work-around the apostrophe when writing to, reading from, and validating data from sql server/access/any databases.

Thanks!

Problem With Apostrophe
I am having weird trouble with READING data from my Access database where the field has an apostrophe - but only when I display the field in a textbox.

For example, the field "Don't do this" becomes "Don" when my SQL query outputs the result:

campaignID = rscampaign("campaign")
response.write "<input type='hidden' name='campaignid1' value='" & campaignID & "'>"

If I output to regular HTML (e.g. in a <P> tag), the field displays correcly.



Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I can't figure out why the textbox would be creating this problem...

SqlDataSource : Dynamic SQL : Apostrophe
OK so I need to use a dynamic SQL statement in a SqlDataSource object because I need to pass in the column name.  I'm having trouble accounting for the apostophes I have to interpret literals within the statement.  This is connecting to an Oracle database.
This is what I originally tried...
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT m.YIE, :selecteditem, m.ENDTIME FROM MyMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE 'YC%' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE 'YCX%' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)">    <SelectParameters>        <asp:ControlParameter Name="selecteditem" ControlID="itemlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />    </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
And the second column returned as :selecteditem for the column name and the value of itemlabel.text (what I wanted to be the column that was queried) as the value in each of the rows of that column.  So I tried dynamic SQL to put the value of itemlabel.txt as the column to be queried, but I'm not sure how to get the query to read the literals.  How can I accomplish this?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MY_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="EXEC('SELECT m.YIE, '+selectedbin+', m.ENDTIME FROM MMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE '+paramlike+' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE '+paramnotlike+' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)')">    <SelectParameters>        <asp:ControlParameter Name="selectedbin" ControlID="binlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />        <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramlike" ControlID="Label1" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />        <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramnotlike" ControlID="Label2" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />    </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
This errors to "illegal variable name"
Can someone help me out please?  Thanks a lot.

How To Insert Text That Contains An Apostrophe??
Hi there,

I have an access 2000 db and in one of my tables I need to store some text that sometimes contains an apostrophe.

My problem is, everytime my program tries to insert text containing an apostrophe, the program crashes...

The insert statments I am using look like this:

CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO myTable (Text) VALUES ('" & stringContainingApostrophe & "')"

I've tried checking the text for apostrophes and replacing them with an ecape character + apostrophe ("'") but that doesn't work either...

It seems like I should be able to store text that contains an apostrophe... Am i missing something here?

Does anyone have any ideas?? (Thanks in advance)

Can someone help me??

Using Single Apostrophe While Inserting Data
Dear fellows,

I want to insert the data in a field which contains apostrophe['] in it, but the insert command does not stores the test after apostrophe

e.g
Insert into test_tbl(id,name)
values (32,'This is a test of apostrophe's ...');

the above command does not store after first apostrophe.

Please suggest

VB - Stored Procedure - Apostrophe Issue
Hello,
I'm using Visual Basic 6 to insert data into SQL Server 2000 via a stored procedure. Apostrophes are giving me problems. Using T-SQL it works fine.

Following is the code:
=======================
cn.ConnectionString = "Driver=" & cnDriver & ";Server=" & cnServer & ";Database=" & cnDatabase & ";UID=" & cnUID & ";PWD=" & cnPWD
cn.Open

'TURNING QUOTES OFF allows a literal string to be delimited by double quotes and to accept an apostrophe
'cn.Execute "SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF" (This works using T-SQL statements only)

'set the reference to the ADO Command object
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command

'Set the command object properties
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn

pDocClass = "Apostrophe's test"

'THIS STORED PROC. INSERTS DATA INTO THE 'INDEX_DTL' AND 'CSC_TRANS' TABLES
cmd.CommandText = "Insert_Email_Data ('" & pDocID & "', '" & pLoginID & "', '" & pCustNum & "', '" & pDocClass & _
"', '" & pJCIRepCode & "', '" & pInitiallyRoute & "','" & pDocRecDate & "', '" & _
pCustPONum & "', '" & pJCIOdrNum & "', '" & strDateTime & "', '" & strTime & "', '" & _
strEmailDate & "', '" & strEmailTime & "', '" & strBatchCreationID & "', '" & _
"X" & "', '" & strEventType & "')"

MsgBox cmd.CommandText

cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute
=======================

The above works great as long as the pDocClass field does not contain an apostrophe. In the stored procedure, pDocClass is defined as @pDocClass char (40).
Following is the error I receive:
"Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '{'

Any help with handling an apostrophe in the CommandText above would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
aml

Apostrophe In Comment Confuses ADODB
We just encountered an odd failure in ADODB.  If it gets an SQL query with a comment embedded in it, and the comment has an apostrophe as one of the characters, ADODB gets confused as it tries to plug in parameters for placeholders later in the query.  For example:





SELECT id, name

  FROM doc_type /* this won't work! */

 WHERE name LIKE ?

If you take out the apostrophe ("this will not work!") or move the comment to follow the placeholder, the query works.

Is this a known bug (couldn't find it in the KB)?

Thanks,
Bob Kline

---------------

That is only part of a large query that writs a SQL Query to a column in a Database. That Query (in the column) is just ran normally so I don't need to compile it each time I want to run it.

THe problem I have is @FieldName might be: ryan's field.

That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?

I tried:

DECLARE @t VARCHAR(500)
SET @t = (SELECT [Name] FROM [Form].[Fields] WHERE FieldID = 1)
print @t -- @t will print: Ryan's Field
PRINT QUOTENAME('' + @t + '', '''')

but that gives me: 'Ryan''s Field'

Any help would rock. If I make any changes to the way this field is input into the DataBase, I know I will need to do a lot of re-work in many spots. WHich is why i'm trying to solve this on the SQL side.
