How To Create A Select Statement With An Increasement Variable?
Example:
Select icount + 1 as icount from table
or
Select counter() as icount from table
The above is wrong ...just a sample to show what I am trying to accomplish.
Is there a function in SQL statement? Thanks.

Unable To Create Variable Select Statement In For Each Loop
What I'm trying to do is this; I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt FROM GLTable WHERE Year <= varYear varYear being a variable which is each year from a query SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task. What I have done is to defined two variables as follows Name: varYear (this will hold the year) Scope: Package Data type: String Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear) Scope: Package Data type: String Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear] I've created a SQL Task as follows Result set: Full Result Set Connection Type: OLE DB SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable Result Name: 0 Variable Name: User::varYear Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable Variable Name: User::varYear However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared." and "Incorrect syntax near '='.". I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005. Any help would be most appreciated. Regards, Bill

SQL Select Statement With A 'string' Variable?
I'm trying to add a 'change password' control to my site and seem to be having some issues. I have code that works if I statically define what user is displayed on the form, but I cant get it to detect the 'authenticated' user and show them the reset for for that ID.If I take the "+ myid" out of the select statement and just define the username statically the form works properly. Error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The column prefix 'System.Security.Principal' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Here's a piece of the code that is supposed to detect the current logged in user. However, it gives the error. (some of the code may be redundant but its not causing issues that I can tell) public void InitPage() { IPrincipal p = HttpContext.Current.User; String myid = HttpContext.Current.User.ToString(); SqlServer sqlServer = new SqlServer(Util.SqlConnectionString()); DataTable dt; SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconnection"].ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter cmd1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from USER WHERE USER_NAME = "+ myid, cnn); DataTable UIDtable = new DataTable(); cmd1.Fill(UIDtable); User_Id.Value = UIDtable.Rows[0]["ID"].ToString(); dt = sqlServer.USER_SELECT(Util.SiteURL(Request.QueryString["Pg"].ToString()), User_Id.Value);

Use A Variable Along With The FROM Clause In SELECT Statement
I have a table 'table_list' which contains two columns, table_name and a record_count. This table stores a list of tables and their corresponding record counts. What I am trying to do is, to be able to write a select statement, that can read each table name in the 'table_name' column, execute a select count(*) for the same, and update its record_count with the result of select count(*). This is the code in my procedure.. DECLARE @tab_list CURSOR set @tab_list = CURSOR FOR select * from table_list OPEN @tab_list DECLARE @tab_name varchar(256) DECLARE @rec_cnt int FETCH NEXT FROM @tab_list INTO @tab_name, @rec_cnt select count(*) from @tab_name This select is looping around along with FETCH till all the table names are exhausted and their counts are updated from the cursor back into the table. Problem is that, I am not able to use select count(*) from @tab_name, and its not accepting a variable there. Please help me to construct the select statement that is similiar to x=<table name> select * from x where x is a variable and the table name gets substituted. what is the syntax for it ?

I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id. But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id. And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment... unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?

Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement

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.

CREATE TABLE Syntax, Combining CREATE, INSERT, SELECT With Character Placement
Working in Access Queries Access version 2003 MSSQL 2000 Using http://www.mckoi.com/database/SQLSyntax.html#2 and http://www.minisoft.com/pages/middleware/odbc32/pages/odbcae.htm for references I'm trying to just save the query and I keep getting a Quote: "Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement". If I try to run/save the Select portion by itself, it's successful. If I try to run/save the Create Table portion by itself, it's successful. But I've got something wrong when I try to put them together w/ the Insert statement. Code: What I've got CREATE TABLE Month2 ( ID NUMBER, CustID NUMBER, Month TEXT, Year TEXT, Amount TEXT); INSERT INTO Month2 (col1, col2, col3, col4, col5); SELECT CustID, {fn RIGHT (CurApr, 3)}, {LEFT (CurApr, 3)}, CurApr FROM dbo_commenehisttrial; I'm trying to create a table then flow data in from a much larger table while converting the headers and data into respective columns. Also trying to convert the headers into two columns of meaningful data. I've got the header part more or less answered w/ Code: SELECT CustID , 'Apr 05' as [Date] , CurApr as Amount FROM dbo_commenehisttrial; union all The above statment is repeated 36 times for each of my 3 sets of 12 months. That works to create a "query table" but I wasn't sure how to run a second query off a first query results. I'd actually like to change the header "CurApr" into two fields: All "Cur" becomes 2005 and "Apr" is listed in the same fashion as the 2nd line of the last section of code. Something like.... Code: SELECT CustID , '2005' as [Year], , 'Apr' as [Month] , CurApr as Amount FROM dbo_commenehisttrial; union all repeating... I'm not sure exactly how to combine CREATE, INSERT, and SELECT, but as a simply display query that last bit works. So right now I'm getting hung up with the syntax error on CREATE TABLE. Thanks.

Multiple Tables Used In Select Statement Makes My Update Statement Not Work?
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

I would like to within my select that I'm using to load up the data calulate a variable or create a temp table with one row that has the current fiscal year. This fiscal year would then be used in my select to determine what data to bring in. But it doesn't seem like I can use a table on the server within my select statement on the destination portion of my dts. This is what I would like to accomplish select * from iptsfil.ipwkhst ,swoolib.DSSCNTL where KYR#=select max(fiscyear) from fiscalyear(this is my temp table that I have already created) AND KWK# = STRNUM AND KCT#=1 AND TBLNME = 'WEEKHST' the dts doesn't seem to like me using both file from the server and the 400 at the same time.

Using C# Variable With SQL Statement
Greetings everyone, I am trying to use a c# string with an SQL statement in a data adapter (.NET 03) The code works fine and I have a variable called : string test = ..... that takes the needed values. I just need to implement this string in the sql statement. I tried adding this to my query but I only got an empty row: WHERE (login = '" & test & "') WHERE (login = '" + test + "') any ideas? PS: If I change to something like WHERE (login = 'abcdef') I get a result meaning there's something wrong with the way I am putting the variable in the sql query. Again, I am not putting the string in a normal query in my .cs code. this is happening by right clicking the data adapter and configuring the sql statement in the designer window THANKS!

Variable In An Sql Statement
Hi, I've created an sql statement: select * from fin_installment where key_construction = (select ser_construction from fin_construction where key_contract = ' " & variable & " ') order by int_serial which is in an Dataset's TableAdapter. This variable receives its value during the form init and it is an integer. When I start the page the folowing error message is displayed: " An error has occurred during report processing. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ' " & azonosito & " ' to data type int. " So my question is that how can I use variables in sql statement in dataset?

USE Statement With A Variable?
I'm having some trouble modifing a script to save me tons of work. The script if from Microsoft, and it is used as step 3 in a 6 step process to move MS Great Plains users from one server to another. Anyway, the script runs on only 1 company database at a time, and for most Great Plains environments there would only be 1 or 2 company DBs. But I am administering in an ASP environment and we have over 30 company DBs to move. So, I though I would adapt thier script to iterate over each company DB to do the work (rather than creating 30 separate scripts). So I wrapped their loop with my loop to do the iteration. The problem is that T-SQL will not let me use a variable in a USE statement. I've tried to remove the USE statements, but that added a lot of complexity in the internal loop. What is the best way to do this? Here is the modified code: /* ** Drop_Users_Company.sql ** ** This script will remove all users from the DYNGRP in the company database ** specified. It will then drop the DYNGRP and readd the DYNGRP to the company. ** It will then add all users back to the DYNGRP based on the SY60100 table. ** NOTE: You will need to replace %Companydb% with the company database ** name. */ /* Instead of replacing %Companydb% (in each USE statement) with the name of the single company database that this script is supposed to work on, I've added @cCompany to hold the company DB name through each iteration of the outside cursor/while loop. */ declare @cCompany sysname/* ADDED BY ME FOR THE OUTSIDE LOOP */ declare @cStatement varchar(255)/* Misc exec string */ declare @DynDB varchar(15)/* DB Name exec string */ declare @DYNGRPgid int/* Id of DYNGRP group */ /* ** Loop through all company databases, emptying the DYNGRP group. */ SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF use DYNAMICS /* Select all of the Great Plains database names from the DB_Upgrade table, where the DB names are conviently stored */ declare C_cursor CURSOR for select db_name from DYNAMICS..DB_Upgrade where db_name not in ('DYNAMICS') OPEN C_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM C_cursor INTO @cCompany WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1) begin use @cCompany select @DYNGRPgid = (select gid from sysusers where name = 'DYNGRP') declare G_cursor CURSOR for select "sp_dropuser [" + name+"]" from sysusers where gid = @DYNGRPgid and name <> 'DYNGRP' set nocount on OPEN G_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1) begin EXEC (@cStatement) FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement end DEALLOCATE G_cursor /* ** Do not delete the group to attempt to preserve the permissions already ** granted to it. */ use @cCompany if exists (select gid from sysusers where name = 'DYNGRP') begin exec sp_dropgroup DYNGRP end /* ** Recreate the DYNGRP group in all company databases. */ use @cCompany if not exists (select name from sysusers where name = 'DYNGRP') begin exec ("sp_addgroup DYNGRP") end end DEALLOCATE C_cursor ______________________________________ Thanks for any help you have.

Using Variable In LIKE Statement
Hi, I am trying to use a variable inside a LIKE statement, but it is not working as expected. It will not give a error, but it shows no results while it does show results if I replace the variable with the normal string within the LIKE statement. Here is my code: Code: -- this example returns results SELECT whatever FROM mytable WHERE whatever LIKE 'blah%'; Code: -- this example returns no results DECLARE @test VARCHAR; SET @test='blah%'; SELECT whatever FROM mytable WHERE whatever LIKE @test; Any ideas why the version using the variable would not work?

SQL Statement With Variable.
Hi , I am testing a very simple query that use variable for sort direction and sort expression DECLARE @SortExp nvarchar(256), @SortDir nvarchar(10) Set @SortExp = 'curTime' Set @SortDir = 'DESC' Select * from table where recID < 20 order by @SortExp @SortDir and i got this error... The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name. Is there anyway to do this task. Thanks Ddee

Declaring A Table Variable Within A Select Table Joined To Other Select Tables In Query
Hello, I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post. I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table. This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off. So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining? Thanks in advance, Andy Select * from ( declare @years table (years int); insert into @years select CASE WHEN month(getdate()) in (1) THEN year(getdate())-1 WHEN month(getdate()) in (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) THEN year(getdate()) END select u.fullname , sum(tx.Dm_Time) LastMonthBillhours , sum(tx.Dm_Time)/((select dm_billabledays from dm_billabledays where Dm_Month = Month(GetDate()))*8) lasmosbillingpercentage from Dm_TimeEntry tx join systemuserbase u on (tx.owninguser = u.systemuserid) where Month(tx.Dm_Date) = Month(getdate())-1 and year(dm_date) = (select years from @years) and tx.dm_billable = 1 group by u.fullname ) as A left outer join (select u.FullName , sum(tx.Dm_Time) Billhours , ((sum(tx.Dm_Time)) / ((day(getdate()) * ((5.0)/(7.0))) * 8)) perc from Dm_TimeEntry tx join systemuserbase u on (tx.owninguser = u.systemuserid) where tx.Dm_Billable = '1' and month(tx.Dm_Date) = month(GetDate()) and year(tx.Dm_Date) = year(GetDate()) group by u.fullname) as B on A.Fullname = B.Fullname Left Outer Join ( select u.fullname , sum(tx.Dm_Time) TwomosagoBillhours , sum(tx.Dm_Time)/((select dm_billabledays from dm_billabledays where Dm_Month = Month(GetDate()))*8) twomosagobillingpercentage from Dm_TimeEntry tx join systemuserbase u on (tx.owninguser = u.systemuserid) where Month(tx.Dm_Date) = Month(getdate())-2 group by u.fullname ) as C on A.Fullname = C.Fullname

Create Table With Variable Name
This should be simple, but... I want to create a table in a stored proc using a variable name instead of something hard coded. I was hoping to do something like.... CREATE PROCEDURE foo -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @TableName char = null AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; CREATE TABLE @TableName ( [HRMONTH] [int] NULL, [HRYEAR] [int] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] But no combination of names '@'s, etc, allows me to use a variable name that I passed into the procedure. What am I missing? I will either receive a syntax error or the procedure will create a table called TableName rather than whatever TableName really stands for... Thanks, Tom

Create Global Variable Like VB... Can It Be Done?
I just want to store the value of a parameter in a global variable that all my reports in the same project can use. My goal is to create a dynamic query. For example: Company Name: Widgets inc. Divisions: Sales, Service, Tech, Accounting I have a matrix and when I click on the more information button it goes to another report. I want the next report to know what division is currently selected in the dropdown parameter. So, being a VB programmer, I thought I could store parameter1.division.value into a global variable and update the variable whenever the parameter changes. This way, on the next report, my query's where statement is the global variable. @GlobalVariable = parameter1.division.value Select name, address, phone FROM Employee WHERE division = @GlobalVariable I am using Visual Studio to design this project although I would prefer to use VB or ASP. But this is my only stumbling block right now. Everything else is complete. Please let me know if anyone can help. Thanks. John
