CURSOR Select Clause
I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:
Server: Msg 16924, Level 16, State 1, Line 78
Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.
I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?
select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs
select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'ACCOUNT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT DATE') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT TYPE') +
', DocID from ae_dtl1'
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR FOR
Select @SQL
OPEN myCursor
print @@Cursor_rows
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor into @var1, @var2, @var3, @var4, @var5, @DocID

Combing In A Cursor, A Select Statement With The WHERE Clause Stored In A Variable
Hi I am ramesh here from go-events.com I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them. Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code that does not work For example DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2 OPEN overdue3 I get an error message at the '+' sign which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single space if necessary How do I combine the select statement with the where clause? Help me...I need help urgently

Order By Clause In DECLARE CURSOR Select Statement Won't Compile
The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile... Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'. However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors. The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs. What gives with this? Thanks in advance R.

Cursor Declared With Variable In Where Clause
When I execute next query on sqlserver 6.5 nested in stored procedure I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using new value of @var. When I execute query on sqlserver 7.0 I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using value of @var before 'declare ... cursor'. Is there any way to force sqlserver 7.0 to proccess cursor like it did it before. select @var = oldValue declare testCursor cursor for select someColumns from someTable where someColumn = @var select @var = newValue open testCursor fetch next from testCursor into @someColumns Thank's in advance.

Is It Possible To Re-reference A Column Alias From A Select Clause In Another Column Of The Same Select Clause?
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave

SELECT Then DELETE Versus Extra Clause In SELECT
Far below (in section "original 3 steps"), you see the following:1. a temp table is created2. some data is inserted into this table3. some of the inserted data is removed based on a join with the sametable that the original select was made fromIn my opinion, there is no way that the join could produce more rowsthan were originally retrieved from viewD. Hence, we could get rid ofthe DELETE step by simply changing the query to be:INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )AND INMESS NOT LIKE '2__' ---- the added line===== original 3 steps (mentioned above) =====CREATE TABLE #details (rec_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,orig VARCHAR(35) NULL,bene VARCHAR(35) NULL,orig_corr TINYINT NULL,bene_corr TINYINT NULL)INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )DELETE dFROM #details dJOIN viewD v ON ( d.rec_id = v.rec_id )WHERE INMESS LIKE '2__'

Expression Defined In SELECT Clause Overwrites Column Defined In FROM Clause
2 examples: 1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v order by v.id Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2 I expect: 1,2,11 if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine. 2) SQL server reject query below with next message Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16 A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique. Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v cross join ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) u order by v.id ,u.id Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine. It reproducible on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2) and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2) In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.

Cursor Vs. Select
buddies,situation: a processing must take place on every row of a table, andoutput results to another table, that can't be done via an insertinto..select query (let's assume that it's not possible for now).There're 2 solutions I have in mind:1) open a cursor and cycle through each row (The table can have up to1M rows)2) create a clustered index (i.e on an identity column) then have aloop like:declare @i int, @rows int,@col1 varchar(20), @col2 varchar(20),... @coln varchar(20),@outval1 varchar(20),... -- output valuesselect @i=1, @rows = max(xid) from tblname -- xid is clustered indexedwhile (@i<=@rows)beginselect @col1 = col1, @col2 = col2,...@coln = colnfrom tblnamewhere xid = i-- do the processing on the variables-- then insert results to another tableset @i = @i+1endI'd like to know your ideas of which one would be more efficient. Anyother solutions are much appreciatedthanks,Tamy

Select With IN Clause
Hi SQL Experts, i have a strange problem i have a variable which stores some values(ID) with single quote (so that i can use directlt inside the IN Clause of SELECT Declare @DMSIDs AS VARCHAR(1000) -- variable declare, Select @DMSIDs = '''DMS00046847'',''DMS00048305''' -- for test putting 2 correct values with escape characters Select * from issue where id in (@DMSIDs) -- valid statment, but does not return any data Select * from issue where id in ('DMS00046847','DMS00048305') -- same above constant value this returns data, but putting the values in varaible then trying fails. The reason is i have a master table called issue and have another table [delta] where a particular column will store all the ID's of the issue table comma separated with single quote and i wanted to use something like below in my actual application Select * from issue where ID in (Select distinct delta_ID from Delta_branch where date = getdate()) but since the above example with variable is not returning any data i wonder if such is possible in any other ways. thank you for reading and helping me.

Variable As Column In Cursor Select
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example: declare @col varchar(50) set @col = 'Temperature' declare notifycurs cursor scroll for select @col from Table Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC (ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' ) but that gave me an error. Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

How To Specify Which Database To Use For A Select Statement Within A Cursor?
Hi everyone, I have been trying to perform the following task: Using the sys.databases & sys.sysindexes views to display all the columns with a clustered index for all tables and all databases in a given server. So the end result will have 3 columns: Database name Table name Column name from that table with a clustered index I have already created the following script which displays all the databases for a given server: declare @DBname nvarchar(128) declare testCursorForDB cursor for select name from sys.databases with (nolock) where name not in ('master','tempdb','model','msdb') order by name open testCursorForDB fetch next from testCursorForDB into @DBname while @@fetch_status = 0 begin print @DBname fetch next from testCursorForDB into @DBname end close testCursorForDB deallocate testCursorForDB I also have created the following query which will display all the table and column names which have a clustered index for a given database: select object_name(i.id) as TableName, i.name as IndexName from sys.sysindexes as i with (nolock) where i.indid = '1' However, what I need help/advice on is how do I combine these two together into one working script (either using nested cursors or a better way). In other words, how can I specify which database to use (ie. using the "use database_name") so that my query above will be applied to each database found within the cursor. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks!

Problems With Select Clause With Except?
Hi there, I'm preparing a query and am having problems displaying the right content. There is only one table i am dealing with, however there are 2 fields that a check needs to be made on to see if they exist or not. Working portion of the query: SELECT * FROM tblVehicles WHERE (Make = 'audi') AND (Model = 'A4') AND (YearRange = '02-05') AND (SubModel = '3.0L') AND (Factory_Wheel_Diameter = '17') this returns 2 records: record 1 74, AUDI, A4, 3.0L, 02-05, fwd and 4X4, 17, 5-112, 16,X43659,19, null, null, null, 16, AVW659A(9), 219 record 2 73, AUDI, A4, 3.0L, 02-05, fwd and 4X4, 17, 5-112, null, null, null, null, null,null,17, AVW759A(9), 219 the second record is the one i need to have eliminated. i have tired adding: and (MAW_Wheel is not null) and (OEMWheel is not null) to my sql statement, but this returns no records. I have also tried using the except, not in, etc.. Seems like i need to combine those 2 values and select records when those 2 values are not both null only, but no matter what I try, i get it wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Question About Where Clause In A Select
Hi, I have a simple select statement that joins a master and a detail tables using a single field. Looks somthing like this: Master: Field1 (Unique key) more fields... DateField (Index field) Detail: Field1 (unique key) Field2 (unique key) more fields.... The master has 100 thousand records and the detail has 100 million records. If I had a statment "Select.....From Master, Detail" what would be the best way to write the where clause? Would one of the following where clauses run faster than the other based on the number of records in the tables? Where1: where Master.DateField = value and Master.Field1 = Detail.Field1 Where2: where Master.Field1 = Detail.Field1 and Master.DateField = value

Incrementally Build Cursor Select Using CASE?
In Access/VB/DAO I can declare a string variable to contain my SELECT statement. If I do this I can build the string incrementally and finally open the cursor using OpenRecordset(strSQL). I'd like to be able to do this in SQL7. Let me illustrate: In Access97: Function Test(ByVal pstrOrder As String) As Boolean Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblEmployee " Select Case pstrOrder Case "Alpha" strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [LastName], [FirstName]" Case "SSN" strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [SSN]" End Select db.OpenRecordset(strSQL) End Function This is a very simple example....I have a lot of complex SELECT statements and I don't want to retype the same code in the same procedure that does ALMOST the same thing. I'm hoping to use something like the CASE construct: DECLARE csrEmployee CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM tblEmployee (CASE @pstrOrder WHEN "Alpha" THEN ORDER BY LastName, FirstName WHEN "SSN" THEN ORDER BY SSN END) Can anyone out there help?

Output Of Select Stament Into Variable Within Cursor
Within a cursor that I am building I would like to execute a select statement built from a varchar variable as such: SELECT @BuildDBPageUsed = 'SELECT sum(reserved) FROM ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.sysindexes WHERE segment <> 2' Next I execute the statement, which is now in the variable @BuildDBPageUsed. Such as: EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed) The resulting output I need to set to another variable @DBPageUsed which is integer. I have been unsuccessful in finding the correct set of commands to do this. How should I build the command to input the results of the EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed) into the integer variable @DBPageUsed? *Thanks* for any help in this matter. Brad

'SELECT Clause Does Not Return Rowset From Sp'
I have sp20, simplified, as: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.sp20 (@CustomerID int, @aDate as datetime) AS SELECT Customers.* INTO #EndResult1 FROM Customers WHERE Customers.CustomerID >= @CustomerID SELECT Orders.* INTO #EndResult2 FROM Orders Where Orders.[TakenDate] >= @aDate SELECT #EndResult1.*, #EndResult2.* FROM #EndResult1 INNER JOIN #EndResult2 ON #EndResult1.CustomerID = #EndResult2.CustomerID This works fine in EM. When I try to execute it from MS Access ADP Project I get 'Stored Procedure excuted succesfully, but did not return any records' Although, in EM it returns the right number of records. Thank you in advance - Rehman

Use Of User Defined In SELECT Clause
I'm having this query:SELECTss.subscription_id AS SubscriptionId,s.id AS ScopeId,s.[name] AS ScopeName,s.base AS ScopeBase,dbo.iqGetShapesByScopeAsString(s.id) AS ShapesAsStringFROMsubscription_scope ss,scope sWHEREss.subscription_id = @subscription_idANDss.scope_id = s.idORDER BYs.[name]The select only returns a single row but my database (SQL Server 2005CTP) seems to execute the "iqGetShapesByScopeAsString" function foreach row in the subscription_scope and scope tables. This is a bug,right? The function should be executed only once for each *returned*row in the SELECT, right? I believe that was the case in SQL 2k thoughI can't check it at the moment.// pt

Optimising Select Statements Which Has A ‘LIKE’ Where Clause.
Hi all I have been doing some development work in a large VB6 application. I have updated the search capabilities of the application to allow the user to search on partial addresses as the existing search routine only allowed you to search on the whole line of the address. Simple change to the stored procedure (this is just an example not the real stored proc): From: Select Top 3000 * from TL_ClientAddresses with(nolock) Where strPostCode = ‘W1 ABC’ To: Select Top 3000 * from TL_ClientAddresses with(nolock) Where strPostCode LIKE ‘W1%’ Now this is when things went a bit crazy. I know the implications of using ‘with(nolock)’. But seeing the code is only using the ID field to get the required row, and the database is a live database with hundreds of users at any one time (some updating), I think a dirty read is ok in this routine, as I don’t want SQL to create a shared lock. Anyway my problem is this. After the change, the search now created a Shared Lock which sometimes locks out some of the live users updating the system. The Select is also extremely SLOW. It took about 5 minutes to search just over a million records (locking the database during the search, and giving my manager good reason to shout abuse at me). So I checked the indexes. I had an index set on: strAddressLine1, strAddressLine2, strAddressLine3, strAddressLine4, strPostCode. So I created an index just for the strPostCode (non clustered). This had no change to the ‘Like select’ what so ever. So I am now stuck. 1)Is there another way to search for part of a text field in SQL. 2)Does ‘Like’ comparison use the index in any way? If so how do I set this index up? 3)Can I stop a ‘Shared Lock’ being created when I do a ‘like select’? 4)Do you have any good comebacks I could tell the boss after his next outburst of abuse (please not so bad that he sacks me). Any advice truly appreciated.

UDefined Functions In Select/ Where Clause
Hi, Is there any way of emulating Oracle's capability of passing output of user-defined functions in the select statement or better still in the Where clause in SQL server 7.0? If not then could we hope for it in SQl server 2000? Regards, Vikas..

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 ?

Select Inner Join With Where Clause Problems
Hello All, I have a question about a Select over 2 Tables, with the Following Scenario (Not all Products (ARTICULOS) haves CARAC's on the CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS table): Picture of the tables here: http://www.pci-baleares.com/pantallazoSql.jpg We have per example 7 Slots (Motherboard, CPU, VGA Card, RAM, TOWER, etc...) When we fill the Slot with a CPU-> Then we open the Slot for VGA CARD, we do the Followin Select: SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.* FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO Ok it brings up ALL Graphic Cards because they dont depends on CPU Now we go to the Motherboard Slot And we make the following Select to obtain the compatible Motherboards: SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.* FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO WHERE ((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E')) AND ((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775')) We check the motherboards if they support PCI-E (because we selected a Graphic card of that, and SOCKET 775 because the CPU) But SQL return 0 Rows, if we do the following Select: SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.* FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO WHERE ((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E')) OR SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.* FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO WHERE ((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775')) It return Rows, it happens just if the Where clause haves more as 1 specifications... Any solution for it? It drives me crazy :D Thanks and regards Marc Hägele

Is It Possible To Use A Where Clause In Select Statments When You Use Intersection?
Lets say that Dealers have ZipCodes, and that a Dealer can have more than one zipCode, and we want the list of dealers that have both 90210 and 90211 zip codes. BUT we don't want any dealers that have only one of the two ZipCodes in question What I want to do is something like this Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90210' intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90211' but I get this error msg: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'intersection' The following sql is silly, but it does run without error Select DealerID from DealerZips intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips So I am pretty sure my problem is with the Where clauses. help!

Select .. NOT IN Clause Doesn't Return Anything?
Hi there, It's a very strange thing! I havea a table called invoices, and a table calle customer payments which has the invoiceID of the payment. I have many invoices that haven't been paid (so they don't have a record on the customer payments). I know this, as i can for example do: select * from invoices where invoiceID = 302247 (and i'll get one result) select * from customer_payments where invoice = 302247 (and i'll get none results) however, if i do the following: select * from invoices where invoice_id not in (select invoice_id from customer_payments) I get nothing!!!??? It doesn't make any sense, as I should get at least 300 (including the 302247) - both invoiceids fields are int... so i just don't understand what's wrong? thank you so much for any help! Grazi

Moving Average Using Select Statement Or Cursor Based?
ID DATE(dd/mm/yy) TYPE QTYIN COST_IN_AMT COST_OUT_AMT(MOVING AVERAGE) 1 01/01/2007 PURCHASE 10 1000 2 01/01/2007 PURCHAES 5 1100 3 01/01/2007 SALES -5 *TobeCalculated 4 02/01/2007 Purchase 20 9000 5 02/01/2007 SALES -10 *TobeCalculated 5 02/01/2007 purchase 50 8000 6 03/01/2007 Sales -10 *TobeCalculate 7 01/01/2007 Purchase 20 12000 I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here) In order to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly. When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly. The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated. Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time. Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?
