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.

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

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.

Adding Column Values Together In SQL SELECT Statement
I have an SQL Select statement that I need to add a column to called SalePrice, the SalePrice column needs to be calculated by adding together the values of 12 columns, then multiplying that value by the value in a another column to calculate margin.

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

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.

Dynamically Hiding Column
Hi, I am working on a report which is grouped at col1,2,3. The report layout is as below and values for col2,3 & 4 are initially hidden while col1 is collapsed. When col1 is expanded values for col2 are visible and when col2 is expanded col3 is visible and so on. col1 is parent of col2 and so on. col1 col2 col3 col4 Fact -------------------------------------- My question is: Is there a way we can hide the entire column (not just the values) when its parent is collapsed. So, col2,3 &4 will be hidden when col1 is collapsed and when col1 is expanded only col2 will be visible.

Removing Unused Output Columns
I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have spent ages searching these forums and the internet for an answer and I am yet to find one. My problem is that I have a package which imports a column, lets call it 'Column A'. Column A is used to create other columns, lets say Columns B, C & D. This is done in a script using asychronous input and once completed column A is no longer used. Other tranformations occur to B, C & D including a split and then finally a merge together again, but all the time A seems to remain a valid input on all processes yet I never choose to use or output it. When I come to the merge process I am required to merge columns B, C & D but also A, surely this is inefficient. Furthermore when the package has run I get a warning telling me that Column A is not required and should be removed, but I can not seem to find anywhere to remove it from the pipe. I am hoping that I am just missing something obvious here but I have been tearing my hair out so any help would be much appreciated! Graham.

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] AS BEGIN SELECT DISTINCT A.Name FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index] END Thanks

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. Regards, Bill

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

Removing User Defined Functions And What Does This Output From SQL Profiler Mean?
I have a stored procedure that is currently utilizing a user defined function. I need to use these functions because I'm returning one row with general info (IE: Name, Title, etc), and within that same row I return all the fiscal years associated to the item as a single field in the result set. For example I would create the following SQL statement that calls the function below it. So for one row the data could look like "John Smith, Senior Developer, FY08 FY09 FY10". The function essentially concatenates multiple rows and returns a single VARCHAR with all of the FY's. Is it possible to acheive the desired functionality without using a User Defined Function here? This leads me into my next question. I notice in the SQL Profiler that any stored procedure that contains a User Defined Function actual runs the Select statement more than once. What I mean is for example say the SELECT statment below returns one row. The particular result has 3 Fy's associated to (John Smith, Senior Developer, FY08 FY09 FY10). In the SQL Profiler I would see the select statement listed 3 times, one time for ever fiscal year. The only event I am capturing is "SP:Starting". So my profiler window will look similar to the following: SP:Starting SELECT Name, Title, dbo.fnGetFiscalYears(ID) AS 'Fiscal Year' ..... SP:Starting SELECT Name, Title, dbo.fnGetFiscalYears(ID) AS 'Fiscal Year' ..... SP:Starting SELECT Name, Title, dbo.fnGetFiscalYears(ID) AS 'Fiscal Year' ..... SELECT Name, Title, dbo.fnGetFiscalYears(ID) AS 'Fiscal Year' FROM myTable1 CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFiscalYears 2 ( 3 @ItemID int 4 ) 5 RETURNS VARCHAR(100) 6 AS 7 BEGIN 8 DECLARE @FY VARCHAR(100),@sep VARCHAR(3) 9 SET @sep=', ' 10 --COALESCE all the FY's together to return them as 11 --a single VARCHAR 12 SELECT @FY = COALESCE(@FY + @sep,'') + 'FY' + 13 CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FYID) 14 --FYID is an INT datatype corresponding to the last two digits of a year (EX: 8) 15 FROM tblItemsToFiscalYears 16 WHERE ItemID = @ItemID 17 18 RETURN @FY 19 END 20 21 I appreciate ANY help one may be able to give me...

Using Output From A Stored Procedure As An Output Column In The OLE DB Command Transformation
I am working on an OLAP modeled database. I have a Lookup Transformation that matches the natural key of a dimension member and returns the dimension key for that member (surrogate key pipeline stuff). I am using an OLE DB Command as the Error flow of the Lookup Transformation to insert an "Inferred Member" (new row) into a dimension table if the Lookup fails. The OLE DB Command calls a stored procedure (dbo.InsertNewDimensionMember) that inserts the new member and returns the key of the new member (using scope_identity) as an output. What is the syntax in the SQL Command line of the OLE DB Command Transformation to set the output of the stored procedure as an Output Column? I know that I can 1) add a second Lookup with "Enable memory restriction" on (no caching) in the Success data flow after the OLE DB Command, 2) find the newly inserted member, and 3) Union both Lookup results together, but this is a large dimension table (several million rows) and searching for the newly inserted dimension member seems excessive, especially since I have the ID I want returned as output from the stored procedure that inserted it. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
