I would like to know how to add SELECT row to a table variable. It's not for my SELECT syntax(code following is just an ugly example) that I want help it's for the use of table variable.
Your help will greatly appreciate!!!
ex :
DECLARE @MyTestVar table (
idTest int NOT NULL,
anotherColumn int NOT NULL)
SET @MyTestVar = (SELECT idTest, anotherColumn FROM tTest)-- This cause an error :-- Must declare the variable '@MyTestVar'. ???? What?
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

In my SELECT query I have: MIN(a.orderdue) AS 'Oldest order date'
This works in that it brings through the oldest order date, however it brings through a date format like: 2015-06-11 11:30.000
So I amended the SELECT query to:
MIN (CONVERT(varchar(17),a.orderdue,103)) AS 'Oldest order date'
This brings the date through as 11/06/2015, which is preferable.
But I have noticed that doing this has affected the output: the MIN function no longer returns the first (oldest) date, but a completely different value.
Obviously my changing the formatting for the date has affected the MIN output. Is there any way I can amend the formatting of the date without this happening?
I am writing some functions that work on a time series database of prices, ie volatility, correlation. I need to use the SELECT TOP syntax, but cannot do this with a variable, ie 'SELECT @x TOP * from prices'. My solution is to simply have a function for each potential period that will be looked at - 30day_volatility, 60day_volatility, etc. I looked at setting the ROWCOUNT variable but this is not allowed in functions. I haven't posted any DDL because I think the question is general enough - How do I return n ordered rows from a function without using SELECT TOP, or is there a way to use SELECT TOP with a variable that I am not aware of.
<DetailRows> <DetailRow> <MonthNumber></MonthNumber> <Amount></Amount> </DetailRow> </DetailRows>If my variable contains following xml document as un-typed xml

However, if I use a typed xml variable that is based on above schema, I cannot use OPENXML. What is the correct way of achieving same result with a typed xml doc? I am using SS2K5.
I have a dataset with 2 columns, a rownumber and a servername - eg
rownumber servername
1 server1
2 server2
....
15 server15
I want to display the servernames in a report so that you get 3 columns - eg
server1 | server2 | server3
server4 | server5 | server6
...
server13 | server14 | server15
I have tried using multiple tables and lists and filtering the data on each one but this then makes formating very hard - i either end up with a huge gap between columns or the columns overlap
I have also tried using a matrix control but cant find a way to do this.
Does anybody know an easy way to do this? The data comes from sql 2005 so i can use a pivot clause on the dataset if somebody knows a way to do it this way. The reporting service is also RS2005
Hi,I'm trying to dynamically assign the table name for a SELECT statement but can't get it to work. Given below is my code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
CREATE PROCEDURE GetLastProjectNumber (@DeptCode varchar(20)) AS BEGIN TRANSACTION SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @ProjectNumber int SET @ProjectNumber = 'ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','') SELECT MAX(@ProjectNumber) FROM 'tbl_ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.',''); END TRANSACTION Basically, I have a bunch of tables which were created dynamically using the code from this post and now I need to access the last row in a table that matches the supplied DeptCode. This is the error I get:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetLastProjectNumber, Line 29Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_ProjectNumber'. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
Let us say that I have a table with two sets of values as such:Item Extension--- ----100023 1100025 1100025 2100028 1100029 1100029 2100029 3[...]Note that a given item number can appear multiple times if it has morethan one extension number.I want to be able to select the first N entries as grouped by itemnumber. So if N = 3, that would return 100023, 100025 and 10028 withtheir associated extentions. I would also like to be able to selectsay, the 2nd through 9th entries grouped by item number.I've tried something like this to give me row counts:select rank = count(1), t1.item, t1.extensionfrom ItemTable t1 inner join itemTable t2on t1.item >= t2.itemgroup by t1.item, t1.extensionorder by rankBut that gives me this sort of result:Rank Item Extension---- --- ----1 100023 13 100025 13 100025 24 100028 17 100029 17 100029 27 100029 3[...]Any suggestions would be welcome.
What I am after is an SQL statement which tells me for a particular category, which suppliers ARE NOT related to it, so they can be assigned. E.g.
Category D has Suppliers 1-4 unassigned Category C has Supplier 4 unassigned Category B has 2, 3, 4 unassigned Category A has Supplier 2, 4 unassigned etc...
I've got the other side of the SQL statement which tells me which suppliers are assigned to a category (see below): SELECT Suppliers.* FROM CatToSupplier INNER JOIN Suppliers ON CatToSupplier.supplierId = Suppliers.supplierId WHERE (CatToSupplier.CatId = @CatId)
This is probably really easy, but I've become unstuck!
and I need to find a sequence of values in column "StringVal", for example: A B.I look for a suitable SELECT, that returns (in this case) following result:
I have a table of row IDs, order numbers, and status. Status is a value of 1 or 2. Some rows only exist as a 1, some only as a 2, and some exist twice -- once as 1 and once as 2. I want to select orders that are 2 as well as rows that are 1 but do not also exist in the table as 2. Ultimately I will only see each order number once. Is there a better/faster way than doing multiple selects and comparing them to each other?
I have SQL mobile database. Due to the size and speed, I would like to select only rows that start with a certain set of alphabets. Is there a way to do this? I just don't want to query everything and use only a small number of rows since the recources on the device is limited.
I have a simple select quesry but with 'for XML AUTO, ELEMENTS'. I want to put in the resulting xml string into a temporary table and then alter that string as per my requirements. But I am unable to put this XML string into a table variable. Please offer your suggestions.
I am attempting to sort the results of a query executed against a table variable in descending order. The data is being inserted into the table variable as expected, however when I attempt to order the results in descending order, the results are incorrect. I have included the code as well as the result set.
DECLARE @tblCustomRange AS TABLE
(
RecordID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),
RangeMonth INTEGER,
RangeDay INTEGER
)
DECLARE @Month INTEGER
DECLARE @Day INTEGER
-- Initialize month and day variables.
SET @Month = 8
SET @Day = 11
-- Insert records into the table variable. INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,2)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,27)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (6,10)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (9,22)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (12,16)
-- Select everything from the table variable ordering the results by month, day in -- descending order
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount begin Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter) set @Counter = @Counter + 1 end
Insert into @Type(Name) Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL Select 'Type: GMC'

I know that this is legal sql: "SELECT 1 AS Blah" I want to do something like this except for I need to select multiple rows each with a different value for Blah. The query needs to be legal to be passed to the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader Method. Is this possible?
I want to return all rows in table giftregistryitems with an additional column that holds the sum of column `amount` in table giftregistrypurchases for the respective item in table giftregistryitems.
What I tried, but what returns NULL for purchasedamount:
SELECT (SELECT SUM(amount) from giftregistrypurchases gps where registryid=gi.registryid AND gp.itemid=gps.itemid) as purchasedamount,* FROM giftregistryitems gi LEFT JOIN giftregistrypurchases gp on gp.registryid=gi.id WHERE gi.registryid=2
How can I achieve what I need?
Here are my table definitions and data:
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[giftregistryitems] Script Date: 02-05-15 22:37:11 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[giftregistryitems]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
I have a table in which each record has a initial date and a final date. I would like to create I query that gives me one row for each month between the initial date and the final date. It would be something like this:
I would like to do that, because these dates correspond to the time in which the products are in possession of sellers, so I would to use this resulting query to generate a pivot chart in Excel to illustrate the value of the goods that are with our sellers in each month.
Is it possible to do it? I think I could do that direct in VBA, but I think that maybe it would be faster if I could do it directly in SQL.
By the way, I am using MS SQL Server and SQL Server Manegement Studio 2012.
I have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.
How I can use this variable to email fellow users. For example, what I would like is if ANY rows are returned to the Object variable (1 or more), then I would like to execute an email SP that we have on our server.
;WITH ctePreAgg AS ( select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef", row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno, t3.s_initials "Initials" from mytablestuff order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
I need to randomly order the selected rows from my table. Is this better to do on the Application level or in a stored procedure using "orderby NewID()"?
Which is faster? There will be about 100 rows returned with 10 columns.
I am using SQL SERVER 2008R2, not Denali, so I cannot use OFFSET FETCH Clause.
In my stored procedure, I am doing a SELECT INTO #tblTemp FROM... Working fine. This resultset is going to be used in an SSIS package which will generate a pipe-delimited .txt file... Working fine.
For recoverability sake, I am trying to throttle back on the commit chunks to 1000 rows per commit until there are no more rows. I am trying to avoid large rollbacks.
Q: Am I supposed to handle the transactions (begin/commit/rollback/end trans) when the records are being inserted into the temp table? Or when they are being selected form the temp table?
Q: Or can I handle this in my SSIS package for a flat file destination? I don't see option for a flat file destination like I do for an OLE DB Destination (like Rows per batch, Maximum insert commit size).
I have created a trigger that is set off every time a new item has been added to TableA.The trigger then inserts 4 rows into TableB that contains two columns (item, task type).
Each row will have the same item, but with a different task type.ie.
how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
I am writing a query to return some production data. Basically i need to insert either 1 or 2 rows into a Table variable based on a decision as to does the production part make 1 or 2 items ( The Raw data does not allow for this it comes from a look up in my database)
I can retrieve all the source data i need easily but when i come to insert it into the table variable i need to insert 1 record if its a single part or 2 records if its a twin part. I know could use a cursor but im sure there has to be an easier way !
Below is the code i have at the moment
declare @startdate as datetime declare @enddate as datetime declare @Line as Integer DECLARE @count INT
set @startdate = '2015-01-01' set @enddate = '2015-01-31'
So my data column [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is defined as a DATE column. I am trying to SELECT from my table where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is today's date.
Is this not working because GETDATE() is like a timestamp format? How can I get this to work to return those rows where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is equal to today's date?
I have a table with 23 columns. 8 columns are not always filled by users and so valued to default. Would this affect the overall performance of querying this table? Should I separate those 8 columns and link with a one-to-one relation?
