Using Column Alias In SELECT (was &"Asking&")


Hi,

I have a question.

select name, count, 1 Aa c1, 2 as c2, c1+c2 As total
from table1

From this example, the program will give out error message,
c1, and c2 are invalid columns.

In MS Access, it works. But, SQL query Analayer doesn't work this statement.
So, does query analayzer handle this case?

Thanks.

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

Column Alias
Hello everyone.

I was wondering if there is a way that you can set the alias name of a column to a value that resides in another table instead of the alias being a static value that you type in.

If anyone has any ideas on ho i can accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it.

Order By Column Alias
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and are having some troubble with sorting a paged result set. I'm using the OVER Clause to achieve the sorting and paging and have the following query:1 WITH ProjectList AS
2 (
3 SELECT
4 Id,
5 Name,
6 Created,
7 (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM UserProjects WHERE ProjectId = p.Id) AS NumberOfUsers,
8 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS 'RowNumber'
9 FROM Projects p
10 )
11 SELECT *
12 FROM ProjectList
13 WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60;

This works fine, and give me the results i want. The problem occurs when I want to sort by "NumberOfUsers" which is the results of a sub query.When i say "ORDER BY NumberOfUsers" instead of Id on line 8, I get the following error:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 10Invalid column name 'NumberOfUsers'.
I read this in the documentation:
When used in the context of a ranking window function, <ORDER BY Clause> can only refer to columns made available by the FROM clause. An integer cannot be specified to represent the position of the name or alias of a column in the select list. <ORDER BY Clause> cannot be used with aggregate window functions.
So this means that what I'm trying to do is not possible. How can I then sort by NumberOfUsers? Is there any other way to achieve this

Use Column Alias In Another Calculation
Is there a way to use a column alias in an another calculation within thesame query? Since I am using some long and complex logic to compute total1and total2, I don't want to repeat the same logic to compute the ratio ofthose two columns. I know that I can do a nested query, but that seems toolengthy as well since I actually have many, many columns.selecttotal1 = sum(case(long complex logic)),total2 = sum(case(another long complex logic)),ratio = total1/total2

Column Alias In Views
Hi All,
I am currently transferring my Access application to SQL Server. Access allows you to declare and use aliases in the query at the same time.

e.g.
Select field1 as Alias1, field2 as Alias2, Alias1 & " " & Alias2 as Alias3 from table1;

In Access the above query will execute perfectly, no problem. However in SQL Server, if you try to run the same query it will give an error "Invalid column name Alias1" meaning that SQL Server is searching for Alias1 as a field in the table, not as an alias from the query.

My question is does SQL Server have a facility to declare and use alias directly as in Access and if no, is there a workaround?

Thanks for your time.

Multi Column Subquery? W/ Alias

pricelist

56 -- (linked with 2)

these 2 columns are in the same table^^

Price3

if the above does not make sense to you maybe this will:

Get Column Alias From View AND Phisical Attribute
Hello Everyone,

I am creating a Metadata management application for a business intelligence platform on SQL Server 2005.

For this purpose, I've set out to consolidate all DB-object metadata (Databases, Tables, Columns, Views) into a single repository that business users can browse through. It has been fairly straightforward so far, but I've hit a wall in the views department.

In fairly simple terms, I want to know which physical columns are selected in a view, with the twist of also knowing the columns' alias. This seems to be impossible as far as I can tell, it is easy enough to get both of these independently, but I can't figure out how to connect an alias to an actual column.

(I prefer to use the metadata catalog views to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA as I need to know the object_id's)

Aliases are easy enough to obtain:

select object_id, column_id, name
from sys.columns
where object_id = object_id('SomeViewsName');


As are the 'physical' columns:
SELECT        
        t.object_id as TABLE_OID,
        c.column_id as COLUMN_OID,
        c.name
FROM
        sys.views v
        JOIN sys.sql_dependencies d
          ON d.object_id = v.object_id
        JOIN .sys.objects t
          ON t.object_id = d.referenced_major_id
        JOIN sys.columns c
          ON c.object_id = d.referenced_major_id
             AND c.column_id = d.referenced_minor_id
WHERE
        d.class < 2 AND
        v.name = 'SomeViewsName';


As I've said before, the problem is joining these two datasets. One of the problems associated with this is that the latter query also returns columns used in JOIN statements, even if they are not projected in the select part of the view definition.

Ultimately I'd like to get this result:

Alias used in View, physical table's object id, physical column's id

Am I missing something?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Fetch Metadata From A Column With An Alias In A View

Custom Column Alias (Reporting Services 2005) When Designing Reports From MDX Queries
Hi All,
 

In T-SQL, it is easy to to provide a column alias example "CustomerName" AS Name, "CustomerPhone" AS Phone, etc.
When we are developing SSRS 2005 reports using MDX , when the columns are a result of cross joins on ROWS , I don't know a way to provide a column alias within the MDX query. If anybody knows then please share.
 
But I have found a easy solution.
 
1) Switch to the 'Layout' tab of the report designer
2) Click on View->Datasets (or press Ctrl+Alt+D) to bring the datasets.
3) Expand the datasets, highlight the dataset where you want to change the column name.
4)Right Click the column name you want to 'rename', then click on 'Edit'
5)Under 'Edit Field' change the 'Name' to the name you want to.(Example : your previous column name was 'CustomerPhone' , change it to 'Phone'
6)Once you have changed the column name, the fields with (=Fields!CustomerPhone.value) has to be changed to
  (=Fields!Phone.value).So Drag and Drop the fields again
7) Run the report..Enjoy....
 
You may need to change the column name because of certain business requirements. I had a requirement where an XML parser requires the field names to follow certain naming conventions.
 
Another way to chnage the 'column' name is to change the 'Name' property of the column.
 
Thanks

'1111' '8,10'
 
 


For this data what I need to do is return all rows from "Liga" that the value of the column Tronco is in troncos from the table Lista
 
So for example if I query this data the return would be
1111 8 32569874
1111 10 89543964
 
And so on...
 
How can I do that ?

Column != ALL (SELECT..)?
Here is the code.
SELECT info1.categoria FROM (
SELECT DC2.categoria,count(DC2.ref) as quantidade
FROM Disco_Categoria as DC2
GROUP BY DC2.categoria
) as info1
WHERE info1.quantidade > 2 AND info1.categoria != ALL (
SELECT DC2.categoria FROM Encomenda_Disco as ED2 INNER JOIN Disco_Categoria as DC2
ON ED2.ref=DC2.ref
WHERE ED2.cod = 1 --ED.cod
)

What I'm trying to do is to check if a category doesn't exist for a specific delivery (Encomenda). After reading about the predicated ALL, I decided that it was to be used, but it isn't returning the expected result.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (since probably I am ;)) but what I'm asking in the code is to compare info1.categoria with all results of DC2.Categoria to check if there is any match, returning true if there isn't any match at all.

It is just not doing it. Can someone please point me at the problem so I can solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Select 'many Values' From One Column
I'm building a textbox with search functionality towards SQL 2000.
The textbox is to include various search phrases, like "phrase1 phrase2 phrase3". Sort of like search engines where all words are considered. Do keep in mind that it's SQL2000 and not 2005. I've got all the strings I want to perform the search against in one column but various values in this column.
The only thing I've come up with is to create "WHERE columnName LIKE @phrase1 OR columnName LIKE @phrase2" where I inject % as apropiate and chop up the string, but I'm hoping this is not the solution because it doesn't seem really clean (with 10 search words) and today I'm not having a 'bad-hack' day so I want it better.
Whats is the best way of doing this?
Cheers!

SELECT(ing) One DB Column Value Into A String In C#... How?
hey everyone, everyone here has been extremely helpful, I'm extremely appreciative. i have another question if anyone has the time.I want to pull the value of one column/row into a string, i know this value to be one int or 1 word under 10 characters. I'd like to be able to use this variable as a conditional, so my if/else statements have information to work off of. I have been using the following format in by code-behind pages to do my SQL insert/update/delete - however I cannot figure out how to SELECT and get those results into a string. I'm new obviously, so dumbed-down explanation would be greatly appreciated!This is what I've used so far for working with my DB:using System;using System.Data;using System.Configuration;using System.Collections;using System.Web;using System.Web.Security;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;     protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        SqlDataSource profilesinsert = new SqlDataSource();        profilesinsert.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProfilesConnectionString1"].ToString();        profilesinsert.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;        profilesinsert.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO ProfileComments  (Approved) VALUES (@Approved)";        profilesinsert.InsertParameters.Add("Approved", "yes");        profilesinsert.Insert();    } The SELECT into a string I'd like to do on page_load, so that I can test that variable upon button click, and have a different value in "Approved" depending on the 1 int or small word result from my SELECT.THANK YOU very much to anyone who offers help! love you guys :)

Dynamically Select Column
Hey all. I'm trying to create a stored proc that will update a variable column, depending on the parameter I pass it. Here's the stored proc:


CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS

DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SET @SQLStatement = 'UPDATE myTable SET '+ @BootNumber+'='+ @VoteID + ' WHERE (PlayerID = '+ @PlayerID +')'

EXEC(@SQLStatement)

GO


I get the following error:

Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'UPDATE myTable SET Boot3=' to a column of data type int


The update statement is good, because if I use the stored proc below (hard-coded the column), it works fine.

CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS

UPDATE
myTable
SET
Boot3 = @VoteID
WHERE
PlayerID = @PlayerID
GO


Is there a way to dynamically choose a column/field to select from? Or is my syntax incorrect..?
Thanks!

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.
