MS SQL Server :: How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?

Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?

SET NOCOUNT ON

Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000

Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)

Set @Counter = 0

while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end

Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'

Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'

Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL
Select 'brian'

select
1 ProviderId, -- static value
'' Identifier,
'' ClassificationCode,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type

from @NumericBase

Select Statement Using Column Numbers
I have a number of lookup tables in my db.
Each table typically has an ID column and a 'lookup values' column.
I want to create a scalar function wherein, by supplying the table name and the ID, I want to retrieve the lookup value and vice-versa. I donot want to create seperate function for each table, which is easy. One function has to return values given the table name and the value of the ID or lookup value.
The problem being faced is how to construct the select statement.
An Execute statement created out of column names, retrieved with Col_Name(), is not useful as Execute statement is not permitted inside a a function.

Concatenating Column Values In SELECT Statement

How To Eliminate Column Header From Select Statement
Hi Everybody:

I want select data from SQL server and save to a file without column header. Anyone has any suggestions? I try PLAIN option in select statement which is described in msdn library as:

"PLAIN:

Prevents column headings from appearing in the query output that is displayed. You can use PLAIN whether or not a TO clause is present. If an INTO clause is included, PLAIN is ignored.

"

However, I tried in both SQL 2000 and SQL 7, none of them supports it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say
Select OrderId from Order.
But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.

declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.

The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement
I'm executing the following...

select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1

the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.

I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"

would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?

this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

How Can I Get Actual Operation Cost From Actual Execution Plan?
I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.

Thanks!

Using The ORDER BY Clause When The Ordered Column Is Not Needed In The SELECT Statement
Greetings,

I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.

How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]

AS

BEGIN

SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index

FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC

END

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]

AS

BEGIN

SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]

END

Thanks

Select Statement That Will Output Related Rows With Different Column Data Per Row?
Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:

rowtype|   ID    | value
A          |   123 | alpha
B          | 123 | beta
C          | 123 | delta
A          |   124 | some val
B          |   124 | some val 2
C          |   124 | some val 3
etc...

where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.

I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.

i.e. each ID iteration will do something like:
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta')
etc..

After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable

Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005

Can A Column Be Derived Using Substring But The Parameters Are A Result Of A Select Statement?
I have a table which has a field called Org. This field can be segmented from one to five segments based on a user defined delimiter and user defined segment length. Another table contains one row of data with the user defined delimiter and the start and length of each segment. e.g.

Table 1

Org

aaa:aaa:aa

aaa:aaa:ab

aaa:aab:aa

Table 2

delim

Seg1Start

Seg1Len

Seg2Start

Seg2Len

Seg3Start

Seg3Len

:

1

3

5

3

9

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

Using A Variable To Specify Table Column In Sql Statement??
Hello everyone,
I'm still quite new ASP.net, Visual Web Developer 2008, and SQL. It has been a fun learning experience so far. Anyways, the site I am designing needs to allow its users to extensively search several different databases (MS SQL databases). I have followed many of the tutorials and have found it rather easy to add table adapters, gridviews and other data features that use basic SQL Select statements. One of the major database tables contains several columns which I would like to include as a search parameters from a drop down list. I was wondering if there is any way I can write a select which will pass a variable to be used as a column name to the statement? For example:
SELECT DATE, GAME, EXACT, @COLNAMEFROM HistoryWHERE @COLNAME = @SOMEVARIABLE
This obviously doesnt work, but thats the gist of what I want to do. Any suggestions? I need this to be simple as possible, Most everything I'm doing is done through the visual design mode. Im still slow to learn C# and apply it in the codebehind files unless I have very detailed step by step instuctions.
Thanks

What I'd like to do is to pull all the rows from Order and have a join that pulls the user name and supervisor name from the User table all in one go. Right now I pull all the Orders with just user name joined, and then go back over the objects to add the supervisor name as a separate query.

The reason I'd like to do this is to simplify the objects I'm passing to the GridView by doing a single fetch instead of multiples. I'm using SQL Server, .NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005.

Thanks

Dynamic Create Table Statement Or SELECT INTO
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?

Example:

I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.

I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.

BTW - this would be a stored procedure...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SQL Query (SELECT Statement) And Table Design
I am wondering if there is a direct query in this case:

I am developing a program to a company which simply sells services
One service may have different prices for different types of clients
The price of any service for any client can change at any time, and I should be able to trace these changes at any time

I made the following tables (simplified): (asterisk for primary key)

(Table)             (Fields)

CLIENT_TYPES :    ID*,        ClientTypeName
SERVICES :    ID*,        ServiceName
PRICES :    ServiceID*, ClientTypeID*, Price,       Date*
ORDERS :    ID*,        Date,           ClientTypeID
ORDER_SERVICES :    OrderID*,   ServiceID*

The field in bold is the area of the question

This is a sample data in the PRICES table:

ServiceID           ClientTypeID    Price    Date1                      1                100        1/1/20072                      1                150        1/1/20071                      2                90         1/1/20072                      2                135        1/1/2007

Now if I want to update a price of service 1 for clienttype 1, I add the following row:

1                      1                100        1/1/2008

So one product for one client can have any number of prices with different dates

The following query:

SELECT * FROM PRICES WHERE ClientTypeID = 1

will retrieve all prices with repeats for a specific client (#1 here)

What I want is a query to retrieve the most recent prices for specific client for all products, even if a query on query

If there is commemts on table design please tell me

thanks for any one who provides help

Check For Column Existance Before Alter Table Statement
Hello all,

I am trying to add columns to several tables in a singular database. I want to check to see if the column exists in a given table first before executing the alter table command so that I can skip that command if the column already exists, and avoid aborting my script prematurely. I can't seem to find a way to check for the column's existance. Any suggestions?

Insert Statement That Pulls Column Data From Another Table?
hi.

i cant get this quite right.

i have a table and i need to insert one column with data from another table. it goes something like this (although i know this is wrong, just here for a visual explaination) :

Code:

INSERT INTO List
(list_date, email_address, list_status, list_email)
values
(
GetDate()
, 'name@rice.edu'
, 0
, SELECT emailAddress FROM Users WHERE id = '72'
)

so, list_email needs the email address from the Users
table. i tried messing around with inner joins but, well,
here i am...

thanks in advace.

SQL Statement Not Producing Any Error For Invalid Column In A Table
Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2005 with SP1 patch update.I have tow tables

X table fields:

ClientID,ClientName,ClientRegisteredNumber,HoldingName,HoldingRegisteredNumber,NumberOfHoldings

Y table fields:

ClientID,ClientName,RegisteredNumber,HoldingName,HoldingRegisteredNumber,NumberOfHoldings

If i run a query for X table:

SELECT RegisteredNumber FROM X it produces the error like this

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Invalid column name 'RegisteredNumber'.

But if i run the query for X,Y table:

SELECT * FROM Y WHERE RegisteredNumber NOT IN

(SELECT RegisteredNumber FROM X)

It's not producing any errors.

Why this? Is this the SQL Bug or my query problem?

Can anyone explain how to solve this?
