I am trying to create a new column 'COL_4' and, in the same step, create a case statement off of the new col. I know that the code below will not execute. I realize that I could get ride of COL_4 in my code below and concatonate but I need to keep Col_4 in the output.
SELECT
COL_1
,COL_2
,COL_3
,COL_4 = COL_1 + COL_2
,COL_5 = CASE
WHEN COL_1
THEN 'SOMETHING'
END
FROM TABLE_1
;
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

Hi!
I have a select question that look like this:
DECLARE @ID uniqueidentifier;
SET @ID = '40bd3052-60f4-414a-99df-ca882c128493';
SELECT
rp.ID AS ReportPackId
,rp.SupplierPartyIdentifier AS SupplierPartyIdentifier
,rpap.AdditionalPartyIdentifier AS AdditionalPartyIdentifier
FROM
ReportPack rp
INNER JOIN ReportPackAdditionalParty rpap
ON rpap.fk_ReportPack = rp.ID
WHERE rp.ID = @ID
The result a get when running the select question is:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId2
My problem is that the result I want is the following:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
addPartyId2
I always know that the ReportPackId and SupplierPartyIdentifier will be identical for all rows because of the Where condition, and therefore I want all AdditionalPartyIdentifiers to be in columns instead of a new row. Is this possible?
Example:
Select icount + 1 as icount from table
or
Select counter() as icount from table
The above is wrong ...just a sample to show what I am trying to accomplish.
Is there a function in SQL statement? Thanks.
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
BTW - this would be a stored procedure...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is this;
I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to
SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt
FROM GLTable
WHERE Year <= varYear
varYear being a variable which is each year from a query
SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable
My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.
What I have done is to defined two variables as follows
Name: varYear (this will hold the year)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]
I've created a SQL Task as follows
Result set: Full Result Set
Connection Type: OLE DB
SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable
Result Name: 0
Variable Name: User::varYear
Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear
Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table
I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows
Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable
Variable Name: User::varYear
However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."
and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".
I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Is there a shortcut to spelling out column names when you are doing a select statement?
For instance could you write Select 1, 5, 6 from table where whatever...
I tried this but didn't get any results so if you can I must be using wrong syntax.

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
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.
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent
FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!
TIA,

"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"

Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.
I have a temp table that hosts data from a MDX query, I want to select a column from that table by passing in a parameter and then insert to a new table.
Here's the table structure, let's call it #temp
[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION], [Measures].[Gross Sales]
Bike, 200
Accessory , 100
I have a table in the DB created as [ProductSales]
Here's what works for me:
insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales)
Select convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION]") as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales'
From #temp
But in reality the product level is not always on level 03, I want to define a parameter @Product and pass it to the select list.
Here's what I tried to do:
Declare @Product varchar(500) = convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 01].[Member_CAPTION]")
Declare @SQL varchar(MAX)
SET @SQL='insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales)
Select '+@Product+' as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales'
From #temp'
Exec @SQL
But it threw me error, what is the right way to do it, is it because the double quote or single quote thing?

Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
Â
btw I have used this statement
SET
IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...

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.

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
