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.

How To Eliminate The Commas From The End In Sql Query When The Column Value Is Null
HI
I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this

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.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?
Hello fellow .net developers,

In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.

Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.

So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?

Example:

Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers

Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address

I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.

I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.

I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Concatenating Column Values In SELECT Statement

FROM Agents;

I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.

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.

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]

SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM

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.

How To Append A Header Row In SELECT
Hi All,

When calling my SELECT statement, I would like to have Column name and Data type as the first record. Is this possible to do?
I would like to make a SP that would select all data from any table(with a header row) with just:

_sp_getData ' table_name'

I looked at sysobjects, and syscolumns tables, but was unable to put it all together. I have over 200+ tables, so creating variables for every column is very cumbersome.

Something like this:

select 0 AS SortCol ,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 1 then column_name end) as varchar) as col1,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 2 then column_name end) as varchar) as col2,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 3 then column_name end) as varchar) as col3,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 4 then column_name end) as varchar) as col4,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 5 then column_name end) as varchar) as col5,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 6 then column_name end) as varchar) as col6,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 7 then column_name end) as varchar) as col7,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 8 then column_name end) as varchar) as col8,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 9 then column_name end) as varchar) as col9
from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'authors'
union all
select 1 , au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip,
cast(contract as varchar)
from authors


Is not an option.


Thank you very much in advance,

Header Column Size In Matrix
Hello,

 

I have a matrix that has 10 row groups. The row groups are dynamically hidden/visible depending on whether the row group is needed. However, the textbox that is in the header row is set to the width of all 10 columns, and I cannot change it at runtime because it appears I cannot use expressions for width (terrible limitation!). What are my options here?

 

As an example, my matrix may look as follows:

Item Name                                           Col1         Col2         Col3          Total

Item1          Item2          Item3               5                 8             13               26

 

Or, it may look like this:

Item Name                                           Col1         Col2         Col3          Total

Item1                                                      5                 8             13               26

 

In the 2nd example, the row groups for item2 and item3 are hidden, yet I have all the whitespace between item1 and the totals. This is because the item name text box is equal to the width of all 3 row groups. This doesn't look bad in this example, but when there are 10 columns, the numbers are off the page completely to the right.

Placing A Sum In A Table Header Column
I have been requested to add the sum of an interger field to the table header.  I have the sum in the footer (which is very easy to do), but I cannot get the sum to appear in the table header. 

I then set-up the stored procedure to run the sum, and place it into a dummy field.  I still cannot add this field to the table header.  Instead of printing the data for the dummy field (the correct total), it instead prints the actual field name on the report.

Is there anyway to place a sum in a table header on a SQL Server Report?

Let me know.

Column A and B are Row Group columns in the matrix. Column C and D are the details columns. How can I add column header to column A and B. Seems I cannot do it in Reporting Services 2005.

Dynamic Header Column Names In Excel
Folks,



I am running into an issue while trying to export data to a spreadsheet. I actually don't know how to do it... Considering I only know the column names by the time I execute my procedure, I can't use the Excel Destination to export data.

With DTSs I would create an ActiveX script to execute the procedure which loads the results into a temp table. After that I would select everything from this temp table and load the results into a record set, looping through this record set to create the destination spreadsheet with the dynamic column names.

When it comes to SSIS we are advised to write vb.net scripts instead of ActiveX... These ones do not have records set's but dataset's, which at first glance are only applicable to xml and not xls files (when I try to define a variable as a dataset in my vb.net code, I face a message saying: Missing reference required to assembly System.Xml...).

How I would create this spreadsheet using a vb.net code in SSIS packages? Please, help...

Thank you.

Multi-column Report Page Header
I have a multi-column report with a page header that spans the width of the report.  Whenever I close the report and reopen it, the header is changed to the width of the column.  This isn't a real big deal because I deploy it with the header across the whole page; but once in a blue moon I accidentally hit the F5 key (which I am used to using for refresh in other environments I work in) and the report gets redeployed with the messed up header.  Is there anyway to stop RS from automatically adjusting the page header?
 
And is there anyway to disable the F5 key from deploying the reports.  I do use it to build and run windows apps, and don't want to change that, but I don't want to deploy 80+ reports when I accidentially hit it.
 
Thanks.

How To Insert A Border Based On Column Header
Hello,
 
I'm using a Matrix control to display data.  The column headers are dynamically generated.  Assume the headers display regions (east, west, north, and south).  The data would be displayed int he control similar to the following:
 
EAST    EAST    EAST    NORTH    NORTH    WEST   SOUTH    SOUTH
  1           2.3        3.1         7.5          23           32         8             9.0
 
Is it possible to set the right border to solid whenever the column header changes?  In my example, a border would be placed between East and North, North and West, and West and South.
 
 
Kind regards,
Orlanzo

Column Header Duplicated -- Matrix Report
I've a matrix report with two row groups. One of the row groups has been used to do alternate coloring in report rows. The issue is that the header text that I've provided for the row group repeats twice. Another interesting point to note here would be this doesn't happen in the report preview but only when the report is displayed through a report viewer in an ASP.Net application. I can guess that it must have got something to do with the invisible row group but can't get my head around on how to avoid it?
 
The report currently looks something like below:
 
  Month                 2007                                  2008

  Month           Total    Ave    %            Total     Ave      %
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
January          12         6       1.5......................etc etc.
 
I want the text "Month" to come only once. Thanks.

PIVOT TABLE Dynamic Column Header?
I am trying to work on a database with 3 tables. To make it easier I have created a couple of temp tables to work out the syntax.

CREATE TABLE #owner
(
[NameId] tinyint IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)

INSERT INTO #owner VALUES ('ME');
INSERT INTO #owner VALUES ('Other');

CREATE TABLE #propertyType
(
[TypeId] tinyint IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)

INSERT INTO #propertyType VALUES ('Home');
INSERT INTO #propertyType VALUES ('Car');

CREATE TABLE #property
(
[NameId] tinyint NOT NULL,
[TypeId] tinyint NOT NULL,
[Value] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)

INSERT INTO #property VALUES (1,1, 'Blue');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (1,2, 'Black');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (2,1, 'Red');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (2,2, 'Black');

DROP TABLE #owner;
DROP TABLE #propertyType;
DROP TABLE #property

| NameId | Name |
| 1 | ME|
| 2 | other |

| TypeId | Name |
| 1 | Home |
| 2 | Car |

| NameId | TypeId | Value |
| 1 | 1 | Blue |
| 1 | 2 | Black |
| 2 | 1 | Red |
| 2 | 2 | Black |

Where property value is some arbitrary detail. The real propertyType has 50 or 60 rows and not every property has all of the values. I am trying to create a pivot table that would look like so that I can present the data in an easier to understand format:

[Owner | Home | Car ]
[ME | Blue | Black ]
[Other| Red | Black ]

The propertyTypes are added often, and I don't really have the ability to change them. There is a unique constrant on property on nameid and typeid so there will never be two of the same property with the same owner. Any help would be very helpful.

Excel Column Header Of Date Gets Lost In Translation
While trying to set up an unpivot transformation to load data from excel (2003) into sql server db, the dates as column headers get lost in the translation. 
 
To simplify the problem I created a very simple package with an excel source and an excel destination.
 
The test Excel Source  looks like

ID 1/1/2008 3/1/2008 5/1/2008
A        5         7             9
B        10        12          24
 
After running the package The destination looks like this:
          ID    F4        F5        F6
          A      5          7          9
          B      10        12        24
 
I need to keep the dates since I am loading a large volume of data often.
Any suggestions?

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
