SELECT Statement - How To Not Get Column Field Names?
I do a SELECT * from table command in an ASP page to build a text fileout on our server, but the export is not to allow a field name rows ofrecords.

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.

Select Statement Returns Null In Stored Proc
If I run this statement in Query Analyzer, it properly returns 1for my testing table. But if I put the statement into a storedprocedure, the stored procedure returns NULL. What am I doingwrong? I suspect it may be related to how I defined the parametersfor the stored procedure. Perhaps my definition of TableName andColumnName don't match what COLUMNPROPERTY and OBJECT_ID expect toreceive, but I don't know where to look for the function declarationsfor those. Any pointers would be appreciated.Select statement:SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Table1'), 'TestID', 'IsIdentity') ASIsIdentityTable definition:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([TestID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Stored Procedure definition:CREATE PROCEDURE spTest(@TableName varchar,@ColumnName varchar)AS SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @ColumnName,'IsIdentity') AS IsIdentity

SELECT Statement With Multiple Criteria That Returns The Criterion Matched
Hello: I need assistance writing a SELECT statement. I need data from a table that matches one (or more) of multiple criteria, and I need to know which of those criteria it matched. For instance, looking at the Orders table in the Northwind database, I might want all the rows with an OrderDate after Jan 1, 1997 and all the rows with a ShippedDate after June 1, 1997. Depending on which of those criteria the row matches, it should include a field stating whether it is in the result set because of its OrderDate, or its ShippedDate. One way of doing this that I've already tried is: SELECT 'OrderDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE OrderDate > '1-1-1997'UNIONSELECT 'ShippedDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE ShippedDate > '6-1-1997' In my application, scanning a table with thousands of records for five sets of criteria takes a few seconds to run, which is not acceptable to my boss. Is there a better way of doing this than with the UNION operator? Thank you

Linq Question: Select Returns A DBNULL For An Integer Column
I have quite a few tables which allow NULL values. I have to struggle a lot with DBnull Exceptions :|example: col1,col2,... are all columns of type Integer and possibly NULL. var query = from person in table select new { person.col1, test = (int?) person.col2, person.col3, person.col4, ...}; As soon as my result encounters a DBNull value.. the whole query fails. This is really bad.How would I return the valid values.. and set the keys where there is no value to a null type? (e.g. int -> 0)I tried using "(int?)" but I'm not *really* sure what it does :-) Anyway.. it has no effect :-)

Using Variables To Select Column Names
Hi I've tried declaring and setting variables in my sql statement and then trying to use them instead of defining a column directly - sorry quite hard to explain, i'll do a simple example eg DECLARE @column DECLARE @value SET @column = 'col1' SET @value = 'bloggs' Select * FROM table1 WHERE @column = @value It keeps returning no results even though i've tried Select * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = 'bloggs' -- which returns results I realise its the column which is not being selected, but there must be a way by using a variable? thanks

Table Names As Keys?
Hello all,I got a chance to peak into a database system. Part of its design israther unfamiliar to me. When I look at the diagram generated by SQLServer, there are many floating tables. Eventually it turns out thatthese many floating tables are actually not floating. Their tablenames relate to fields (as TableID) in other tables. In this case,you can get a handle to one of such tables by search TableID columnsin other tables.To be more specific, the database is a microarray database implementedin SQL Server 2000. They have a table called MICROARRAYS. In thistable, there is a column called table_id. These table_ids are in facttable names of a bunch of other tables.My questions are1) Is this good relational design?2) How well is this kind of design supported in SQL Server?3) Are there better alternatives?Any other comment or link to helpful resources will also beappreciated.Thanks,Eric Wu

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

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?

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. tia a

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

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. Regards, Bill

Creating SQL Statement That Returns Rows ONLY Between A Certain Date?
I maintain a simple employment (job) tracking web application. Jobs can be set to 5 different statuses: Open, Closed, Filled, Pending, or Cancelled. There is a table in the database called statusLog, which records everytime a job is set to opened, or set to closed, etc. It records the job number, the date it was changed, and what the job was changed to. Here is a short example of what a few entries might look like: Status Date Job number Open10/6/2002 2:34:56 PMTEST2845 Hold10/11/2002 12:19:29 PMTEST2845 Closed10/29/2002 2:00:54 PMTEST2845 Pending10/25/2002 3:37:06 PMTEST2877 What I need to do is write an SQL query that will return to me all entries in this table, between two certain dates, that ONLY have entries during those dates. Basically I need to know how many "new" jobs were set to open during a month. I can easily just do a count of how many jobs were set to open, but this will not give a count of "new" jobs. Example: during june a job could be set to open. Then in july it could be set to pending. Then in august, it could be re-opened, and set to open. If I ran this query for the month of August, it would return that job as being opened in august. But it wasn't a new job, meaning it had already been in the system in previous months. Is there some way I can select all "Open" jobs, between a certain date, that do not exist anywhere in the table previous to the date it was entered? This would give me a result set containing only new jobs. The only way I've thought of yet is to get a result set of all jobs simply set to open during a month, then one by one for each record, go back and run another SQL query to see if it exists in the table anywhere other than in that month. This seems horribly inefficient to me however, as I do not want to be doing 34,000 independent SQL calls for every single "open" job it finds during a certain month. thanks

Hi All, When I use the following I get an error. I think it is because of duplicate records in my table. Update person Set username = (Select username From update_person Where person.firsname = update_person.firstname and person.lastname = update_person.lastname) There are a few users that have the same first and last name. How can I ignore the duplicate records and continue to update the table? Thanks in advance.

Table Join Statement Returns Repeat Rows
Hello All. I am struggling with the below join block in my stored procedure. I can't seem to get the duplicate row problem to go away. It seems that SQL is treating each new instance of an email address as reason to create a new row despite the UNIONs. I understand that if I am using UNION, using DISTINCT is redundant and will not solve the duplicate row problem. Primary Keys: none of the email address columns are primary keys. Each table has an incrementing ID column that serves as the primary key. I am guessing I am encountering this problem because of how I have structured my Join statements? Is it possible to offer advice without a deeper understanding of my data model or do you need more information? Thanks for any tips. Code: select emailAddress from Users union select user_name from PersonalPhotos union select email_address from EditProfile union select email_address from SavedSearches union select distinct email_address from UserPrecedence union select email_address from LastLogin) drv Left Join Users tab1 on (drv.emailAddress = tab1.emailAddress) Inner Join UserPrecedence tab5 on tab5.UserID=tab1.UserID Left Join PersonalPhotos tab2 on (drv.emailAddress = tab2.user_name) Left Join LastLogin tab4 on (drv.emailAddress = tab4.email_address) Left Join EditProfile tab3 on (drv.emailAddress = tab3.email_address) Left Join SavedSearches tab6 on (drv.emailAddress = tab6.email_address

Detecting Carriage Returns In A Column
Can anyone provide me with some SQL that will identify rows from a table where a varchar column named "Notes" contain Carriage Returns? I know that with report writer SQR I can translate CR's to white space but I do not know of any Sybase function that will allow me to do the same, any ideas on this well would be appreciated.

Concatenated Column Returns Null
Hi folks,I have an issue with a column I created in my query called Instance.SELECT Object_Id, Event_type, Audience, Subject, Provider, Academic_Year, Start_date, End_date, CONVERT(varchar, Academic_Year) + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, Start_date, 103) + ') : ' + Event_type AS InstanceFROM EventsORDER BY Event_type Above is my query. The problem is because the start date column can be null, it also returns the Instance column as null for that row.I thought it would have just missed out the date and display the rest, but it doesn't.Is there any way I could get the Instance column to display a value, when the start date is null?ThanksEdit: Managed to sort it using ISNULL()
