Is there a way to combine 2 columns of different types for example varchar and decimal?
column1 = varchar, column2 = decimal
For example:
SELECT column1 + ' - ' + column2 AS CombineColumn FROM TABLE1
Without getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
Thanks for any help!
Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.
Hi all,
I have a table with multiple rows with the same ID.
a) How do I combine all columns into one row with the same ID?
b) Is this better to do the combine in the store procedure/trigger or a sub that involked by some sort of datarepeater, datagrid controls?
Since I am trying to brush up my sql. I appreciate any examples on top of conceptual solution.
Thanks
I have an stored procedure that returns 3 columns. Month, Date, and Total Number of Calls.
Here is the stored Proc:
SELECT DATEPART(mm, CALLSTARTTIME) , DATEPART(dd, CALLSTARTTIME), COUNT(*)
FROM CALL_LOG_MASTER
WHERE (COMMERCIALS = '1') AND (PINCODE IS NOT NULL)
GROUP BY DATEPART(mm, CALLSTARTTIME), DATEPART(dd, CALLSTARTTIME)
ORDER BY DATEPART(mm, CALLSTARTTIME), DATEPART(dd, CALLSTARTTIME)
It returns a table:
MONTH DATE TOTAL NUMBER OF CALLS======= ===== ===========1 1 10
1 2 15
My question is: is it possible to combine the Month and Date column into one column. e.g.
Date Total Number of Calls==== ==============1/1 101/2 15
Please Help, Thanks in advance :)
Hi,

Hi,
I have a query that looks at the stock levels in one warehouse and returns the quantity, have been asked to create a new column that shows the total of the same stock that is available in our two other warehouses.
Have tried this:
SELECT ItemCode, WhsCode, InStock FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.WhsCode = TABLE1.WhsCode WHERE WhsCode = '31' or WhsCode = '61' GROUP BY InStock, WhsCode,ItemCode
This returns the results in one column rather than in a seperate column for 31 & 61, I then need to add the two columns together so a total stock is shown.
I realise this may be a basic query but I'm batting my head against a wall at the moment.
Thanks

Hey guys,
I realize I've posted something like this before, but i'm confused how to do something new, what I am trying to do is combine rows of data when certain columns equal one another.
For example, I have to sets of data who have in common the columns ctp_code and a mod_code (they are the same) however they have two other columns called billing_amt and amount_owed that need to be added together (literally taking the data and doing the math, so 100.00 + 100.00 = 200.00)
Code:
id ctp_code mod_code billing_amt amount_owed
1 1 1 100.00 100.00
2 1 1 100.00 100.00
My results should be this:
Code:
id ctp_code mod_code billing_amt amount_owed
1 1 1 200.00 200.00
Any help, thoughts?

WesternDigital, Rose
Sony
Samsung, John

Hi I have a table that has two columns whose values need to be combined into one column and pipe delimed into the first one.
But I am not sure how to writed the query.
Here is my atmempt, which by the way does not work, but you might understand what I am trying to do.
update tabmodulesettings
set settingvalue =
(Select settingvalue from tabmodulesettings as t2 where t2.settingname='m2' and t.tabmoduleid=t2.tabmoduleid) + '|' +

I would appreciate any help with my following problem... lets say
i have...
select A.firstname + '' + B.lastname as fullname, 'Their Home is ' + A.City + ' ' + (select top 1 C.State from States C where C.City = A.City) as Location
from tableA A, TableB B
Where A.id = b.id
This is not the actual statement but follows the same kinda logic... the problem that i get is that some of the rows in both my fullname column and in my location column show up as null... how would i fix it so for instance even if the state is missing it would still show: their home is LA or if just the last name is available it would show the lastname?
Thank you
Hi,
I have the following query :
select uname, count(ID) from tbh_Axis
group by uname
which works fine and displays
Admin3

How can i display the result as :

When I do this:
select uname + '(' + count(ID) + ')' from tbh_Axis
group by uname
It doesnt work.
This might be a question with an extremely easy answer.. I don't know but here I go.
I want a report with lets say

I can easily figure out the sql statements to find the columns A, B and C individually but how do I combine them?
so lets say I have
select cola as A from table1 where ....
select colb as B from table2...
They are not from the same table so I cannot combine them either (I cannot do select cola, colb from table1 etc.. )
How would I do this? Am I missing something?

I have a database that tracks billing and payment history records against a "relationship" record (the "relationship" maps a many-to-many relationship between employees and cell phone numbers).
I have two statements that look like this:
SELECT CellPhone.PhoneNumber, SUM(BillingHistory.AmountOwed) AS TotalOwed
FROM Relationship
INNER JOIN CellPhone ON CellPhone.PKCellPhone = Relationship.FKCellPhone
INNER JOIN BillingHistory ON Relationship.PKRelationship = BillingHistory.FKRelationship
GROUP BY Relationship.PKRelationship, CellPhone.PhoneNumber
SELECT CellPhone.PhoneNumber, SUM(PaymentHistory.AmountPaid) AS TotalPaid
FROM Relationship
INNER JOIN CellPhone ON CellPhone.PKCellPhone = Relationship.FKCellPhone
INNER JOIN PaymentHistoryON Relationship.PKRelationship = PaymentHistory.FKRelationship
GROUP BY Relationship.PKRelationship, CellPhone.PhoneNumber
Each statement correctly aggregates the sums, but I need a record that shows me:
CellPhone.PhoneNumber, SUM(BillingHistory.AmountOwed) AS TotalOwed, SUM(PaymentHistory.AmountPaid) AS TotalPaid
I can't figure out how to join or merge the statements together to get all of this information into one record without ruining the sums (I can't seem to correctly join the PaymentHistory table to the BillingHistory table without the sums going haywire).
Any help is appreciated.
It's rather easy to combine resultset from the same table structure...we can either insert the entries or union the results.
But let's say you select different columns from different tables and want to combine them to form a new table, how would you do it (assuming you can't join those tables since they are not related), assuming they all return the same number of rows.
select col1 from table1
go
select col2 from table2
go
Now I want to combine them so table3 is made of col1 and col2.
When quering a table with given criteria, For ex:
select notes, jobid, caller from contact where status in (6) and jobid = 173
I am getting this:
This job will be posted to Monster for 2 weeks. 173 906
Waiting for full budget approval 173 906
TUrns out we're uppin 173 906
What should I do so that these three columns for the same jobid from the same caller appears in only one column, either separated by a comma or semicolon?
Please HELP!!!!!
Suppose that I have a table with following values
Table1
Col1 Col2 Col3
-----------------------------------------------------------
P3456 C935876 T675
P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is:
CombinedValues(ColumnName)
----------------------------------------------
P3456 - C935876 - T675
P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-'
So is there any way to achieve this?

Procedure I followed:--
Tried to convert column1 to varchar using cast function so that I could concatenate both columns. However I ended up in getting the following error message
DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -461, SQLSTATE: 42846, SQLERRMC: SYSIBM.DECIMAL; SYSIBM.VARCHAR
Message: A value with data type "SYSIBM.DECIMAL" cannot be CAST to type "SYSIBM.VARCHAR".

When I try to do the following SQL statement to select a different column it gives the error below as one is a date and one a number
[I]ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
Select
CASE WHEN 2=1 THEN DATE+TP_PERIOD/48 ELSE TP_PERIOD END DATETIME,

I have 3 tables, a supplier table, a types table and a relationship table between the two..I want to build a query that put the different types in columns, and use a Boolean value to identify if the supplier supplies that type.

[code]...
It's possible to do this in "one" query?
SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...
Confused!
Thanks,

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

Combine 3 Databases, Not tables.
Let me spell this out -- I have 3 databases (they are in isolation when in use, its a field app) that need to be merged into 1 "masterDB" database. I've discovered I can use something like this to get to each DB in a query...
1 USE [database1]2 SELECT table1.Name, table1.Location, table1.Date, table2.Blog3 FROM table2 INNER JOIN4 table1 ON table2.ID = table1.ID5 ORDER BY table1.Date
and then just repeat for database2 and database3. Ok, fine, rah rah. My question is how do I "merge" all of these into 1. No data on each db will be identical, at all, ever so that is not a concern. I just need all the data from db1, 2 and 3 into masterDB.
Ideas? Direction?
Hello, I have these variables on my page:
userid = "10101"
RequestHost = "example.com"
What would be the best way performace wise to first check if the userid 10101 exists in my sql server db. If it does exist I would then need to check if "example.com" exists for the userid in the userdomains table. If these both exist I would then like to query some additional data. I was hoping its possible to combine this into one query somehow. I dont think this is the best solution:
sqlcommand.CommandText = "SELECT UserId From Users Where UserID = '10101'"
Conn.Open()
dr = sqlcommand.ExecuteReader
if dr.hasrows then
sqlcommand2.CommandText = "SELECT UserDomain From UserDomains Where UserID = 'example.com'"
dr2 = sqlcommand2.ExecuteReader
if dr2.hasrows then
sqlcommand3.CommandText = 'Select Additional Data
dr3 = sqlcommand3.ExecuteReader
'read values
conn.close
else
conn.close
'do something
end if
else
conn.close
'do something
end if Thanks Very Much!
