MS SQL Server :: Using Column Name In 'LIKE' Clause

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

Expression Defined In SELECT Clause Overwrites Column Defined In FROM Clause
2 examples:

1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id

Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
  select 1 id
  union select 2 id
  union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id

Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11

if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

2) SQL server reject query below with next message

Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.

Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
  select 1 id
  union select 2 id
  union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
  select 1 id
  union select 2 id
  union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
    ,u.id

Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

It reproducible on

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)   May 3 2005 23:18:38   Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

and

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86)   Feb 9 2007 22:47:07   Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS

If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.

Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

Cannot Check Column In Where Clause
In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits
e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int

SELECT af.AccomType, af.AccomRef, af.AccomName,af.address1, af.address2, bf1.RoomCode,
Convert(Int,Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(REPLAC E(Replace(MAX(bf1.EndBook),'°','200'),'´','204'),' 99','1999'),'97','1997'),'47',1947),'98','1998')) AS max_date,
...............

WHERE
af.Resort=@strResort
AND
(af.AccomType = 'H' OR af.AccomType = 'O')

AND
max_date>20040721

order by max_date.

Problem is I get an error saying invalid column max_date. It works in the order by clause when I get rid of the
'max_date>20040721 '.

Using @column For Where Clause In Select
Hi,

I want to do something like

"select range from mytable where @ColumnToUse = 1" then
"select range from mytable where @ColumnToUse = 2" etc.

and @columnToUse lists a different column heading each time. I know I can put this into an "exec ('select range...')" type statement, but it's really helpful if I don't evaluate all my variables at this stage in my scripts. Can anyone help?

Multi-column IN Clause

Hi,

I have a [TestTable] table with three rows. The pair of columns [Test1] and [Test2] are id, the [Test3] is a data column. First, I get a table variable with list of id pairs. Next, I would like to update the rows of that ids. However, I have not found the elegant way how to do it. For one column it is simple, just IN clause, which does not work (or I could not find how) for multi-columns. Does someone have a hint?

Thanks,

Martin

Note: The example bellow is dummy; on the other hand, I hope it shows the important points. Please, do not beat me on syntax errors.

Code Block
DECLARE @MyTableVar table(
Test1 int NOT NULL,
Test2 int NOT NULL
);

SELECT [Test1],[Test2] INTO @MyTableVar FROM [TestTable] WHERE [Test3] = '%dd%';

UPDATE [TestTable] SET [Test3] = [Test3] + 'ds'
WHERE ([Test1], [Test2]) IN (SELECT [Test1], [Test2] FROM @MyTableVar);

Problem With WHERE Clause When Column Length &> 255
Hello, I am using the JDCB-ODBC driver for my app, but one of the columns in my WHERE clause is 255 characters long. Because of this no rows are returned even though the statement should return 1 or 2 rows. I've tried other JDBC-ODBC drivers too and they have the same problem. Additionally, I've tried using RTrim(), Substring(), etc and it still will not work....any ideas? Is it a driver bug? Anyone know of a driver that will work?

Sample code....

ResultSet rs = dbRetrieve.getStatement().executeQuery( sql ) ;
if (rs.next()) {
// Never gets here
}

Computed Column In Where Clause - QUERY Help
Hi
I need suggestion for a query. Consider following 2 tables.

Table-1 "T1"
-----------
|ID|Name
|1 |abc
|2 |def
|3 |erw
|4 |rwg
|5 |her

Table-2 "T2"
----------
|ID|Qty
|1 |12
|1 |2
|2 |22
|3 |10
|2 |14

I want a query which displays ID, Name and MAX(Qty) for each item where Max(Qty)>=10 i.e. result should be

Result
----------
|ID|Name|Qty
|1 |abc |12
|2 |def |22
|3 |erw |10

I tried:

Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty
FROM T1 t1
WHERE MaxQty>=10

But it fails as computed or inline query columns can not be added in where clause.

However following works:
Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty
FROM T1 t1
WHERE (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) >=10

BUT IS IT OPTIMIZED?
Please suggest an optimized way to handle such scenarios.

Column Name Conflicts With T-SQL Clause Keyword
I am busy extending a VB6 app to talk to SQL Server Express 2005 and have come across a naming conflict. Some of the columns in the application's Access 97 tables is "index" which obviously exists as a T-SQL keyword and therefore any queries I perform including this column throws a syntax error. I tried prefixing the columns with their table names as in TableName.Index, but this still throws up the syntax error which I thought was a bit odd. I preferably want a fix that will be Access as well as T-SQL compliant but if that's not possible I will just write a string converter that does the job based on anyone's suggestions. TIA

WHERE Clause Using Different Column Passed By Parameter
Hi all,

I'd think this is possible but I'm having trouble getting data returned from the query. Fields PART_NUMBER and INTERNAL_SKU exist in the SKU table. This will be inside a SP. If user passes 'PN' as first parameter then I'd need to have the WHERE clause by PART_NUMBER, if he passes 'SK' (or anything else for now) then the WHERE clause shold be by SKU.

Can't I just build the WHERE by replacing @SearchField with its value ? I've looked up the CASE statement but I don't think it does what I need.

DECLARE @strSearchType varchar(2)

DECLARE @strSearchValue varchar(15)

DECLARE @SearchField varchar(15)

set @strSearchType = 'PN'

set @strSearchValue = '1234567'

IF @strSearchType = 'PN'

begin

set @SearchField = 'PART_NUMBER'

end

ELSE

begin

set @SearchField = 'INTERNAL_SKU'

end

SELECT

SKU as 'SKU',

PART_NUMBER as 'PartNumber',

DESCRIPTION as 'Description'

FROM SKUs

WHERE @SearchField = @strSearchValue

FOR XML PATH('SKU'), ROOT('Response')

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

END

Filtering Results In The Where Clause Vs A Having Clause
I am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.

When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:

UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN

(

SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

GROUP BY TrackID

HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND

TrackID + 'x1' IN

(

SELECT

dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions

ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)

)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.

I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?

UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN
(

SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

WHERE TrackID + 'x1' IN

(

SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions

ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)
GROUP BY TrackID

Having Clause Without GROUP BY Clause?
Hi,

What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?

eg :

SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5

SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5

I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.

Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.

Cast/Convert Mmddyy In String To New DB_DATETIMESTAMP Column In Derived Column Transformation

When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.

When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.

Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)

Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26

Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )

I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.

Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:

'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************

' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.

thanks in advance!

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?
Hi All,

I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.

Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).

Thanks a lot in advance!

DataBinder.Eval Is Saying My Column Doesn't Exist, Probably Because It Has A Brackets [ ] In The Column Name
I am using a SQL command in ASP.NET to send a query to a an OLAP cube that returns a dynamic set of data that I load into a datatable and then bind to a GridView. I have made my own ITemplate implementaton for displaying and formatting the data, and the following line is causing me problems:
RawValue = DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, "[Month].[Month].[MEMBER_CAPTION]")
The error returned is:
Month is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table
My guess as to what is happening is that it sees the brackets in the field name and stops reading the field name at [Month], when the actual field name is much longer. I know that it knows about the column name because it displays it correctly in the header. Since I am loading this from an OLAP cube the names of my columns vary based on the criteria so I cannot alias the column because I don't know exactly which columns will be displayed. Does anyone know how I might get the DataBinder.Eval function to work with fields that contain square brackets [ and ] ?
If I use the GridView's "auto-generate fields" option it will show the data (and this is the column name) but I lose all control over formatting and the other custom code I'm writing in my ITemplate interface.

PROBLEM: How To Set A Char Datatype Column Behave Like An Identity Column ??
Hi... Everybody,

I am new to using SQL Server and I have the following problem.

I have a table/s that have the primary key/s of datatype char.

Since I cannot set the Identity property to char datatype column, so before I insert a record everytime:
I need to increment the primary key column value first with some code and
then prepare the recordset and
then perform the insert operation.

Is there a way I can do this same procedure through an Insert trigger on that table of interest ? This will make things easy because the Insert trigger shall handle the required logic for getting the new value for the primary key column and prepare the new recordset from the temporary INSERTED table in the trigger.

EX:
Suppose I have a table with the following columns:
CREATE TABLE [Sample]
AS
a char(6) PRIMARY KEY,
b smalldatetime,
c int

Supposing that the format for the PK column is '000001', '000002' so on....

Is it possible to perform an insert operation such as:

INSERT INTO [Sample]
([b], [c]) VALUES('01-01-1999', 100)

and the Insert Trigger for the table [Sample] will take care of the adding the next PK column value automatically ?

Thanks in advance,

BR,

Sudhakar

Insert Data Into A Destination Column Which Doesnt Have An Input Column
Hi, I was wondering how I can complete a column (which doesnt have an input one) with data.
For example:

I have a sql query which bring data of 3 columns

ID | FISRT NAME | LAST NAME
1 MIKE MORGAN
2 SARA JOHANES

So, I will insert that data in a FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, which I configured with 3 columns and I did the corresponding mapping in the FLAT FILE DESTINTATION.

Now, If I add one more column in the FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, I will not have it mapped to a input one, obviously. So, what I need is to add one more column to the flat file destination and complete it with zeros values in it.

Probably I can solve this part by introducing a DERIVED COLUMN and there I can configure the zeros that I want to add to the column. But I'm not sure if I can do that without having a input column.
So, the question will be, how can I add one column to a flat file which doesnt have a input and introduce any value that I want to it?
Hope I was clear
Thanks for your help.

Copy Database With Encrypted Column To New Server And Decrypt Column There
To do this successfully do I need to backup the Service master, Database master, and database itself from the the Source server, then restore all three of them on the destination server?

(I'm concerned that restoring the source Service Master key to a new target server with an existing sql 2005 install will screw things up big time.)

TIA,

Any direction toward a solution would be appreciated.    Am using SS2005.

Sql Where Clause - Help
Hey guys, I'm a bit weak when it comes to doing ands and or's. I know what i want, but when I put it into statement, i dont get the results that i want.
I have 3 fields in my where clause. ID, LW, and LWU. The code is as follows:WHERE (LASTVISIT BETWEEN '1 / 1 / 95 12 : 00 : 00 AM' AND '1 / 1 / 06 12 : 00 : 00 AM') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%6%') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%7%') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%8%') AND (LW <> 1) AND (LWU <> 'test') OR (LASTVISIT BETWEEN '1 / 1 / 95 12 : 00 : 00 AM' AND '1 / 1 / 06 12 : 00 : 00 AM') AND (ID IS NULL) AND (LW <> 1) AND (LWU <> 'test')
I have a range of dates that I want to grab, in there I do not want any records where ID has 6,7,8 and I only want records where LW does not equal 1. UP to this point, it works fine. I get all the records that only return these values. However, the moment I add where LWU does not equal 'test'. it does not return the values I want. Furthermore, why can I not put this whole string into one and clause? I never understood why I had to create a second line following OR. the longer this query gets the more I get confused. Any help?
