MS SQL Server :: CASE Function Result With Result Expression Values (for IN Keyword)

Table-valued User-defined Function: Commands Completed Successfully, Where Is The Result? How Can I See Output Of The Result?
Hi all,

I copied the following code from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Online (September 2007):
UDF_table.sql:

Directly using C:sql_working_directoryMLSAZPhoenixDocsArmls_Schema Updated 020107.xls
as connectionString works

However - I'm trying to deploy the package - and trying to use expression:
@[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls"
which causes the same error to occur

(Same error with other Excel source also:

Problem Using Result From CASE In Another CASE Statement
I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.

Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:

Code Block...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
    [logic for condition 1]
    THEN 1
    WHEN     [logic for condition 2]
    THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
    THEN 3
    WHEN     [logic for condition 4]
    THEN 4
    ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE
    [logic for condition 1]
    THEN 'Condition 1 text'
    WHEN     [logic for condition 2]
    THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
    THEN 'Condition 3 text'
    WHEN     [logic for condition 4]
    THEN 'Condition 4 text'
    ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...

This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.

This is what I'd like to do:

Code Block
...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
    [logic for condition 1]
    THEN 1
    WHEN     [logic for condition 2]
    THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
    THEN 3
    WHEN     [logic for condition 4]
    THEN 4
    ELSE 0
END,

shipment_status_text =

    CASE shipment_status

    WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'

    WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'

    WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'

    WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'

    ELSE 'Error'

END,
...remainder of SQL view...

This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.

Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?

Thanks,

Jason

Result Of Expression Cannot Be Written To A Property
Hello,

We're trying to launch a SSIS package throw a webservice. This WebService loads a configuration file with "myPackage.ImportConfigurationFile(pathConfig)" and assigns values to some variables with "myPackage.Variables.Item(Parameters.Keys.Item(i)).Value = Parameters.Item(i)". Seems to work.

I we execute the webmethod of the WebService, this works but only when we execute first time, the SSIS finished succesfully. But when we execute a second time the Webmethod, we've a lot of failure with messages:

The result of the expression "@[User::Email]" on property "ToLine" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.The result of the expression ""The Import of " + @[User::ExcelFile]+ " is successful"" on property "MessageSource" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.

Thx for your help

Expression To Show Result 12 Months Back
I´m creating a report in SSRS 2005 where you can filter after month and year. The result is the total sale for that particular month. What I want to do, is adding an extra column to compare with the result in the same month last year. F.eks. say that I choose january 2008 I would like to see the results for january 2007.

I thought of writing an expression to do that, but as that isn't my stronges side I would appreciate some help

SSIS Expression Result Limit Of 4000 Bytes
I have a package with an input column that is varchar(8000).

I want to strip the first byte off of this column and put it in one result column and the remainder of the field I want to go to a second column. If the input column is an empty string, I want to return NULL.

Pulling the first byte off works fine, no issues, however putting the remainder of the input column into an output column is giving me a little trouble.

If I use this expression:

LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, LEN(FLD1) - 1))

I get an error that says my expression evaluates to a string of greater than 4000 bytes.

If I do this instead:

LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : RTRIM(SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, 7999))

The expression passes muster but I get the warning that I will be truncating the column at 4000 bytes.

In actuality, I don't care if the result column is truncated after 4000 bytes. I find the second solution to be a bit clunky and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a reason why the first solution won't evaluate but the second will?

'#Error' In RS2005 For MDX Expression In Preview Tab But Data Tab Gives Proper Result
Hi,

I have a calculated member with a simple MDX expression which returns the number of open accounts. The problem is this expression gives proper results when I test in the SSAS (Analysis services) browser. It even works fine if I used Excel pivot table. But when I use the same expression in RS2005 in the data tab it shows me proper results but when I preview in the preview tab it shows '#Error' for the data in the Matrix. This occurs when I add the "Coalesceempty" function in the MDX expression which replaces the NULL values with 0.

The MDX expression I am using is:

Case

When IsEmpty([Measures].[Account Count])
Then Null

Else
COALESCEEMPTY(([Measures].[Account Count],
[Account].[Account Close Flag].&[False]), 0)

End

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

End Result Is Main Query Results Ordered By Nested Result
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:

SHOWS
showID
showTitle

SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID

VIDEOS
videoDate
showID

SQL is as follows:

SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;

I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?

CASE Does Not Give Correct Result
How do I automatically assign a new cardcode-number? (according to the following formula: highest existing number + 1)

Scenario:
-There are two types of business partners: Customers and Suppliers.
-Customers have the value 'C' in the colomn CardType.
-Suppliers have the value 'S' in the colomn CardType.
-Customers have the following syntax 'C123456' in the colomn CardCode.
-Suppliers have the following syntax 'S123456' in the colomn CardCode.
-Existing CardCode-values in the DB for the Customers: C000001 - C100599.
-Existing CardCode-values in the DB for the Suppliers: S000001 - S200199.

The idea is that when a user creates a new business partner, the CardCode should be automatically filled when a new assigned number (highest existing number + 1), according to the value that is selected in CardType (either the letter 'C' or 'S').

What's been done so far:
SELECT top 1
(CASE
WHEN CardType='C' THEN (SELECT top 1 'C' + '' + cast((substring(T0.CardCode, 2, 7) + 1) as varchar) as [nummer]
FROM OCRD T0
WHERE T0. CardCode like 'C%' AND T0. CardType='C'
order BY T0.CardCode desc FOR BROWSE)
WHEN CardType='S' THEN (SELECT top 1 'S' + '' + cast((substring(T0.CardCode, 2, 7) + 1) as varchar) as [nummer]
FROM OCRD T0
WHERE T0. CardCode like 'S%' AND T0. CardType='S'
order BY T0.CardCode desc FOR BROWSE)
END)
FROM OCRD T0

The current result:
The result that it gives is 'C100600'.
The problem however is that it always gives this result and does not take into account what has been selected in CardType.

When I add the following: "order BY T0.CardCode desc FOR BROWSE" it gives the result 'S200200'.

So, what does work is that it takes the highest existing value and adds 1. But what doesn't work is the taking account what value is selected in CardType.

Does anyone know how I can make this work?

AND odf.mbb_funcunit = 'lkp_val_operation'

GROUP BY
odf.mbb_sector
which returns me the following result :
.

The problem is at the lkp_val_infosystem where it returns 3 instead of 1 in the total_infra column. How do I correct my case stmt to return the correct no of projects breakdown by different project type? Currently, only the total_prj which returns correct data.

The data grows at about 14 million records per year. I'm going to be running queries on the table that extract the MONTH or YEAR from the logged column. In Foxpro tables I would have created indexes on YEAR(logged) and MONTH(logged) so my queries would run faster. Is this possible/necessary in SQL Server?

Compare Values In Result Set.
This is my first post and I am probably not using the correct terminology but I will try. I want to compare the value of one of my fields in a result set to the value of the same column/field, but from the previous row in the result set. I am trying to identify the row in the result set when the value in a specified column changes value. I want to identify this row by placing a 1 in the last column. If that value did not change, then place a 0 in the last column.
I am not sure if this will make sense to anyone out there. Please let me know if more clarification is needed and I will try to provide it. Thanks for all your help in advance.

END

Each time I try " RETURN EXEC(@RTN) " or something similar I get an error.

I have tried executing the tsql and assigning the result to a varchar and returning that varchar but i get an error.

Anyone with any ideas?

Comparing Result Set Values Of 2 Queries ??
Any assistance would be so helpful !!

We have 2 tables.. lets call them INV and COST

Table INV and COST have 3 related columns, namely ID,AMOUNT and VAT. As shown below...

ID | AMOUNT | VAT ( INV TABLE )
1 |20.125 |2.896
2 |10.524 |1.425

ID | AMOUNT | VAT ( COST TABLE )
1 |20.125 |4.821 .... different to ID 1 in INV Table
2 |10.524 |1.425

If you look above, I need to sum the AMOUNT and VAT columns and get a value for each ID, then compare the two tables and get the ID's that have different values...in this case I would need a result saying ID1 as the total of INV TABLE ID1 (23.021) is different to the corresponding ID1 row in COST TABLE (24.946)

Thats it ???

Please could someone out there offer some ideas ?

THANKS

[effeciency] Specific Result Values
Hi.

I had no idea what to name the topic so I hope this is ok.

I feel like I am losing it, even though I am still learning SQL Server - I dont use it much in terms of technical/complex queries and so on but I do use SQL on a regular (almost) basis. I am all about making sure it is secure and effecient and performance and so on - just to give a bit of background about myself.

Say for instance I have an ASP.NET website, which I have developed a discussion board from scratch using SQL Server to store all the information.

Say for instance, we have a topic, and that topic will be "locked".

Would I be correct in saying that on such a table, "Topics", there should be a field which is known as "ActiveStatus" or "IsLocked", and depending on if the thread is locked or not, that value is set on the table field? Am I correct in saying this?

If not - then what is the correct way of stating/retrieving if the topic is locked, in other words, what is the best way to have control over the thread so you can lock the topic?

I cannot think of another way but to store this one value in SQL on this topic table, along with other fields. I would then get the result by calling the procedure from ASP.NET and accordingly, set an image button on the webpage to either "locked" or "post reply"

Sorry for being silly, but I want to confirm if I am about to do this correctly or not. I want to make sure I am doing the best practice all the time, and enjoy doing it naturally. What is the best design/decision on such a scenario/situation?

Many thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it! :-)

Aggregate Function For Select Statement Result?
Ok, for a bunch of cleanup that i am doing with one of my Portal Modules, i need to do some pretty wikid conversions from multi-view/stored procedure calls and put them in less spid calls.

currently, we have a web graph that is hitting the sql server some 60+ times with data queries, and lets just say, thats not good. so far i have every bit of data that i need in a pretty complex sql call, now there is only one thing left to do.

Problem:
i need to call an aggregate count on the results of another aggregate function (sum) with a group by.

*ex: select count(select sum(Sales) from ActSales Group by SalesDate) from ActSales

This is seriously hurting me, because from everything i have tried, i keep getting an error at the second select in that statement. is there anotherway without using views or stored procedures to do this? i want to imbed this into my mega sql statement so i am only hitting the server up with one spid.

thanks,

How To Use A Function To Format And Display Result From Data Reader
Hi guys n gals !
I am having a few problems manipulating the results of my data reader,To gather the data I need my code is:
        // database connection        SqlConnection dbcon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["dbcon"]);
        // sql statement to select latest news item and get the posters name        SqlCommand rs = new SqlCommand("select * from tblnews as news left join tblmembers as members ON news.news_posted_by = members.member_idno order by news.news_idno desc", dbcon);                // open connection        dbcon.Open();
        // execute        SqlDataReader dr = rs.ExecuteReader();
        // send the data to the repeater        repeater_LatestNews.DataSource = dr;        repeater_LatestNews.DataBind();
Then I am using: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "news_comments")%> in my repeater.What I need to do is pass the "news_comments" item to a function I created which will then write the result. The code for my function is:
    // prevent html    public string StripHtml(string data)    {        // grab the data        string theData = data;
        // replace < with &alt;        theData = Regex.Replace(theData, "<", "<");                // return result        return theData;        }
But I am having problms in doing this,Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing ???

Converting Result Of Aggregate Function Calculation To A Double (C#)
I've put a SelectCommand with an aggregate function calculation and AS into a SqlDataSource and was able to display the result of the calculation in an asp:BoundField in a GridView; there was an expression after the AS (not sure what to call it) and that expression apparently took the calculation to the GridView (so far so good).
If I write the same SELECT statement in a C# code behind file, is there a way to take the aggregate function calculation and put it into a double variable? Possibly, is the expression after an AS something
that I can manipulate into a double variable? My end goal is to insert the result of the calculation into a database.
What I have so far with the SelectCommand, the SqlDataSource and the GridView is shown below in case this helps:
<asp:GridView class="gridview" ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="lbsgalDataSource">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Formulation" HeaderText="Formulation" SortExpression="Formulation" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="lbs" HeaderText="lbs" SortExpression="lbs" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="gal" HeaderText="gallons" SortExpression="gal" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="density" HeaderText="density" SortExpression="density" />

</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="lbsgalDataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT
a.Formulation,
SUM (a.lbs) AS lbs,
SUM ((a.lbs)/(b.density)) AS gal,
( ( SUM (a.lbs) ) / ( SUM ((a.lbs)/(b.density)) ) ) AS density
FROM Formulations a INNER JOIN Materials b
ON a.Material=b.Material WHERE Formulation=@Formulation GROUP BY Formulation">

<selectparameters>
<asp:controlparameter controlid="DropDownList1" name="Formulation" propertyname="SelectedValue" type="String" />

Passing MS SQL2005 Query Result Into Javascript Function
I'm selecting the last latitude & longitude input from my database to put into the Google maps javascript function.
This is how I retrieve the longitude:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="lon" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocateThis %>"
SelectCommand= "SELECT @lon= SELECT [lon] lon FROM [location] WHERE time = (SELECT MAX(time) FROM [location] where year < 2008)">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
I wish to input the latitude & longitude into the JAVASCRIPT function (contained in the HTML head before the ASP) something like this:
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));var lat = <%=lat%>;var lon = <%=lon%>;var center = new GLatLng(lat,lon);map.setCenter(center, 13);
However, lat & long do not contain the retrieved result but rather a useless System.something string.
How do I assign the retrieved results to these variables and port them over to Javascript as required?
Many thanks!

Function With Expression To Return Values
I have created a function to return values, which works fine, but I can't do calculations in it.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[tf_Asset_Portfolio](@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT dbo.Assets.issue_id, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS par_amount, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS market_value
FROM dbo.Issue INNER JOIN
dbo.Assets ON dbo.Issue.issue_id = dbo.Assets.issue_id INNER JOIN
dbo.Issuer_Rating_History ON dbo.Issue.issuer_id = dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.issuer_id
WHERE (dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.as_of_date <= @as_of_date)
GROUP BY ALL dbo.Assets.issue_id, dbo.Assets.deal_id, dbo.Issue.default_date
HAVING (dbo.Assets.deal_id = @deal_id) )

I need to do calculations on market value based on the default date.
If default date isn't specified then it should be 100% of par amount.
If default date is less than one year ago - 65% of the par_amount.
If default date is one or more years ago - 0.
I have no idea about how to do this and everything I try wont work.
I created another function to do the calculations and this seems to work, but it only does one record instead of all of them.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.tf_Asset_Portfolio2
(@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS @Market TABLE
(issue_id int, par_amount money, market_value money)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ReturnDate datetime
DECLARE @DD datetime
DECLARE @PA money
DECLARE @MV money
DECLARE @ID int
DECLARE @DateD int

SELECT TOP 1
@ReturnDate = LAST_BATCH
FROM master..sysprocesses
WHERE SPId = @@SPID

SELECT @ID = issue_id FROM Assets WHERE Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @PA = SUM(DISTINCT par_amount) FROM Assets WHERE Assets.issue_id = @ID AND Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @DD = default_date FROM Issue WHERE Issue.issue_id = @ID

SET @DateD = DateDiff("yyyy", @DD, @ReturnDate)

If @DD = Null
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DD > @ReturnDate
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DateD < 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA * .65
END
Else If @DateD >= 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = 0
END

insert into @Market
(issue_id, par_amount, market_value)
values
(@ID,@PA,@MV)

RETURN
END

I need to combine the functionality of being able to return mutliple records that isn't in the 2nd function and being able to calculate the market value which isn't in the first one. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Table-Valued Function Result Vs. Calculation Table

I need to return a table of values calculated from other tables. I have about 10 reports which will use approx. 6 different table structures.

Would it be better performance wise to create a physical table in the database to update while calculating using an identity field to id the stored procedure call, return the data and delete the records. For Example:

DataUserID, StrVal1,Strval2,StrVal4,IntVal1,IntVal2,FloatVal1...

Or using a table-valued function to return a temp table as the result.

I just dont know which overhead is worst, creating a table per function call, or using a defined table then deleting the result set per sp call.
