Add Column With Fixed Number Of Values (text) To The Select Statement
Hello,
 
I have such a problem. Need to add additional column to my query. The column should consist of set of fixed number (same as number of query rows) values (text). At start thought it's simple but now Im lost. Is there any chance to do it. Apreciate any help. I need to tell that I have only access to select on this database so no use of operation on tables.

Can You Select A Column By Number Rather Than Name?
I swear I have done this before and can't remember how.

I want to select columns in a SELECT statement by their number instead of name.

I have looked everywhere for the syntax.

Also, is there a function to 'count' the number of columns in a table?

Thanks.

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
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:

SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent
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.

Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!

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.

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

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.

Bill

Auto-number/Identity Column
I am migrating a web application I wrote from ASP to ASP.Net, and fromAccess to MS SQL server.In the Access version, I did not use the auto number for creatinginvoices and other documents, because I heard somewhere (perhapsincorrectly) that if the db was ever compacted or otherwise changed,it could change the values of the auto-numbers. Not a good thing.So I wrote a routine that, just before creating a new record, wouldlook for the highest value in the table and create the new record withthe next number.So my question is, am I safe in assuming that in MS SQL that I can seta starting number for the next, let's say, invoice and that newnumbers will be issued in sequence, and that these numbers will neverchange? What happens if an invoice is deleted? is the number goneforever? Just wondering how others deal with these issues...thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

I’m okay with simple queries but as I’m no expert and have failed to find perhaps the correct wording to describe this method, if at all possible to do, so I have come to ask here.

What I would like to do is take a column from a query and then break down that column into separate results.

So the full query results:
36,18/09/2007 10:00:00,NULL,000102000304,NULL

The column I would like to brake down is (Unique Reference Number):
000102000304

And I would like to break it down to get the last 2 parts (0003 and 04):
0001 | 02 | 0003 | 04

Is this possible to do?
If so where should I be looking or what should I be looking at?

Many Thanks

Two Column Auto-number/identity
Hi,

I have the following two tables:

Code:

create table RECORD
(
ID int not null,
Issue_descr varchar(256) not null,
Priority varchar(5) not null,
Status varchar(12) not null,
Date_add varchar(10) not null,
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
PName varchar(32),
primary key(ID),
foreign key(PName) references PROJECT(PName)
);



and


Code:

create table STEPS
(
ID int not null,
Num int not null,
Descr varchar(256),
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
Status varchar(12),
primary key(ID, Num),
foreign key(ID) references RECORD(ID)
);



I have set PK "ID" in table RECORD to auto identity(1,1). I have done the same for PK "num" in table STEPS.
However I am seeking this behavior in STEPS:
ID num
-- ----
19 1
19 2
19 3
20 1
20 2
21 1

but what I'm getting is PK num doesn't "reseed" or reset to 1 as "ID" changes. PK num just auto-increments regardless of ID. Is there a workaround?

Thanks.
