I have an application that has two different database backends, one is SQL Server Compact Edition and the other is SQL Server. The reason is because the application may run at home on one of our sales agent's computers or here in the office.
I have a query that uses a derived table and works just fine in SQL Server, however when I run it in the compact edtion (having the exact same table structures) it will not run. My question is...does the Compact Edtion or the Mobile Edition allow derived tables. If not is there a way to work around this? I will happily give an example if it will help.
Hello, I understand that it is not possible to use PATINDEX in a Derived Column transform. I'm trying to eliminate leading zeros from a column where the string is always 14 characters long, but the first non zero character could occur any number of characters from the left of the string. The following achieves what I need:
substring([Account No w/0s], patindex('%[^0]%', [Account No w/0s]), 14) AS ExtractedAcctNo
Does anyone happen to know how I might express this differently in a Derived Column transform? Should I consider a calling a function through an OLE DB Command transform on each row instead? Maybe I should have a SQL Task that runs an UPDATE statement against the column.
I want to send out an email and the email body contains a table with data. I am using SQL to create the HTML table and to populate values inside the table. Below is the code I have so far
DECLARE @HTML NVARCHAR(MAX) ; IF (SELECT COUNT(*) from Employee]) != 0
[Code] ....
But I am having trouble generating alternative colors for each row (tr:nth-of-type(odd) is not working for me)
I have a table which I would like to export to a series of insert statements (in a file maybe). Is this possible somehow?
Alternatively, I could use an existing xml document which contains table metadata (table name, column names,types etc) to transfer data from these particular columns to another database replica.
Hi, I wanna know is there any advantage of perf gain when using Derived Tables over Temp Tables, advice me which one is better to use. Can I create Indexes and Insert/Update records into Derived Tables.
Hi, I have built a database for a university project, but am having trouble with the SQL syntax for inserting derived data from a calculation into a table. At present my SQL is; INSERT INTO MemberPayment (TotalCharge) VALUES ( [Total] ) SELECT ((MileageHistory.MileageUrban * Vehicle.EmissionsPerGramUrban) * 0.05) + ((MileageHistory.MileageCountry * Vehicle.EmissionsPerGramUrban) * 0.05) AS 'Total' FROM [NeuCar].[dbo].[MileageHistory] JOIN [NeuCar].[dbo].[Vehicle] ON MileageHistory.Registration = Vehicle.Registration JOIN [NeuCar].[dbo].[Member] ON Vehicle.UserName = Member.UserName WHERE Member.UserName = 'wenger1' AND (MileageHistory.[Date] >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - 30); Would anybody be able to point out where I am going wrong? I would very much appreciate any advice, Kind regards, Chima
I got an error as follows: Derived table 'A' is not updatable because a column of the derived table is derived or constant. when I tried to run this query: update A set MonthsUnbilled =99999888 FROM (select MonthsUnbilled from dbo.vw_MasterView WHERE (RecordID =8377396)) A This is a simplified query in order to pinpoint the culprit. I know I don't need to use a derived table if the real query is this simple.
Below is my sql, i am getting error msg "Incorrect sytax near 'Votes'." Can anyone tell me what im doin wrong?

OBJECTIVE:THE QUERY SHOULD GIVE ME THE FIELDS I MENTIONED IN THE FIRST QUERY WITH THE CONDITIONS BELOW. CONDITION 1: RateReview field should have yesterday's date CONDITION 2: Email will be send to customer only once so Customer_GUID is UniqueIdentifier CONDITION 3: Customer shouldnt' have opted to get out from receiving any email so Termination field should be NULL ONe Customer can have many transwactions Is there any way i write the code specifying that no email should be sent more than once evereven if customer buys 10 tickets. Only one email sent so i need to specify that if this email has gone to particulare CUSTOMER_GUID then Ignore that record and do not send any email. This would be done by some tool known as StrongMail. SELECT CAST(a.Transaction_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Transaction_GUID, CAST(a.Customer_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Customer_GUID, Film_id as MovieId, First_nm as FirstName, Last_nm as LastName, Email_nm as EmailAddress FROm Table1 where RateReview_dm >= dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), -1) -- Greater or same as Yesterday day and RateReview_dm < dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), 0) -- Less than today's date and and Terminate_dm is null (I don;t know what condition to give that same customer good should not be send email again if send once) i don't know whether i need to create a derive table or it can work without drive table

Hi all,I have a table in this formatcolname1 colname2 colname3col1data1 col2data1 col3data1col1data2 col2data2 col3data2col1data3 col2data3 col3data3col1data4 col2data4 col3data4I want to display it in this formatcolname1 col1data1 col1data2 col1data3 col1data4colname2 col2data1 col2data2 col2data3 col2data4colname3 col3data1 col3data2 col3data3 col3data4Basically rotate it through 90 degrees clockwise and flip it over :)I'm pretty sure this is done by using a crosstab query and or aderived table or temp table. The problem is I use a crosstab query toget the original data into the first format. I've been strugglingtrying to get the ouptput into the second format for over a day nowand just can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone give me any pointerson the general solution to this?I hope this makes sense. Thanks for the help.
I have some questions on derived table. Below is my situation.
Table order, there are 40 columns and it has indexes for productID and addressID Table product, there are 15 columns and it has index for productID Table address, there are 20 columns and it has index for addressID
Query A ------- select C.address, C.area, B.productname, B.category, A.qty, A.price from order A join product B on A.productID = B.productID join address C on A.addressID = C.addressID
Query B ------- select C.address, C.area, B.productname, B.category, A.qty, A.price from (select qty, price, productID, addressID from order) A join (select productID, productname, category from product) B on A.productID = B.productID join (select addressID, address, area from address) C on A.addressID = C.addressID
Will I loss the indexing when using derived table? Why query B performance is much better than query A?
Hi,I got another question here:I want to use query like this:SELECT * FROM (sp_lock AS T) WHERE objectID = ...The purpose is that I want to query the result set returned by sp_lockusing derived table, but it doesn't work. Why?Thanks,Baihao--Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG
I am working for my client on SQL 2005 Enterprise & observed a strange behaviour. Consider a table(EMPTABLE) as below:
PK, INT
VARCHAR
EMPID
EMPNAME
1
A
2
B
3
C
4
D
5
E
6
F
7
G
8
H
9
I
10
J
Now, I wanted the 5th highest EMPID from 2 from the table. Now, we know that the SQL
SELECT TOP 6 EMPID FROM EMPTABLE WHERE EMPID >=2 should (from all other possibilities) return me the desired value as the last row of the output table. I tried to get this in a derived table & get the MAX value i.e.
SELECT MAX(EMPID) FROM ( SELECT TOP 6 EMPID FROM EMPTABLE WHERE EMPID >=2 ) der
But this returns me 10, when I would've thought 7 was the expected answer
I remodified my query as mentioned below to strangely get 7 as the result... SELECT MAX(EMPID) FROM ( SELECT TOP 6 EMPID FROM EMPTABLE WHERE EMPID >=2 ORDER BY EMPID ASC ) der
How did the ORDER BY hep it???
Also, if I use SELECT MAX(EMPID) FROM ( SELECT TOP 6 EMPID FROM EMPTABLE WHERE EMPID >2 ) der
I get the same result without having to specify the ORDER BY in my derived TABLE...
I tried looking for similar threads. But nothing could explain this to me...
If anyone knows what I am not able to understand, please let me know.
Relative SQL newbie here......this is probably easy, but....Lets say I have a table (MainTable) that stores a list of input table names,a primary key (PKey), and a field called "Configured" for each one. Each ofthese input tables also contain a field called "Configured", which is set totrue or false in another process based on an OrderNumber. (So an order'sinputs are stored in several input tables, and the MainTable is a summarytable that shows which input tables have been configured for any givenOrderNumber).What I need to do is open each input table, and look for a record containinga specific OrderNumber and where Configured=true. If a record is found, Ineed to update the Configured field for that table in the MainTable, andthen move on to the next sub-table.The way I'm doing it now is with simple SQL and loops. Here is the basiccode (ASP):*****************************************OrderNumber = "562613" ' the current order that is being processed' reset all configured flagssql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 0"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080' get list of all tablenamessql = "SELECT InputTableName, PKey FROM MainTable WHERE InputTableName <>'---'"set rsTableNames = conn.execute(sql)while not rsTableNames.eof' test each input table for configured flagsql = "SELECT Configured FROM " & rsTableNames("InputTableName")& _" WHERE Configured = 1 AND OrderNumber = '" & OrderNumber &"'"set rs = conn.execute(sql)If Not rs.EOF Then' update the main tablesql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 1 WHERE PKey='" &rsTableNames("PrimaryKey") & "'"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080end ifset rs = nothingrsTableNames.movenextwend*****************************************There has to be a faster way.. I think.... maybe something that could bewritten as a stored procedure? I use a similar technique in a couple ofother places and it's a bit of a performance hit, especially as the numberof input tables grows.TIA!Calan
I'm trying not to use a temp table, but i may have to do so.. I'm using sql2005 for this case.
i have a derived table that makes the following results:
ID Status Name
2 1 "A"
2 2 "B"
I want to get the following:
ID Name1 Name2
2 "A" "B"
but like I said before, I can't repeat the query that gets the first 2 rows, as it's pretty invovled. a temp table is the best route I see right now, but I just wanted to be sure I'm not missing something. If I've aliased it as 'results', is there a way to alias results again as something else? or maybe a trick with CTEs? I will try that! It seems promising.

In my TSQL code i use a derived table to extract the value of account 321 to compare if they are the same that the SUM of my line invoice cost multiply by quantity line : Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt)
This is my script:
SELECT ft.ndoc [Doctype],ft.fno [Docnr] , Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) [totalcostof my Invoiceline], xctb.conta [accountancy account], sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then Xctb.ecre else Xctb.edeb end) as [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy], [DIF] = Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) - Sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then xctb.ecre else xctb.edeb end)
[Code] ....
My problem is if i have more than on line on my invoice, for example 2 lines, the value of column [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy] are duplicated, for 3 line invoice the value are multiply by 3.
When my colleague makes any change to a query containing a derived table, the word 'WITH' followed by a lot of graphical characters appears after the alias, rendering the query unusable. We have tried this with various existing and new, simple queries, all to no avail. We are editing the queries in Visual Studio 2003, and he does not get this effect when using Visual Studio 2005. I can edit the query in 2003 on my laptop with no ill effects.
I have discovered what looks like a bug in the optimiser. I've posted it at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=288243 but I wonder if any of you with SQL 2005 RTM, 2005 SP1 or 2008 CTP could confirm when this was introduced and whether it is still an issue?

how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
I am looking for the best way in SSIS to do the following. I have an SQL table that for each row in the table I want to take an element from the table do a lookup in a Teredata Table, return information from the teredata source. Use that returned data to do some calculations and create a derived column from my calculations and place the data into the same SQL table that I am parsing through.
I want to have an other employee table named employee_modified
Empno empname salary commission derived_column1(salary+commission) derived_column2(derived_column1 + xxxx) and so on derive other columns based on the earlier derived columns)
Is that possible to do it.. or am I doing something wrong.
Hi, i am using the DTC in my code to connect to two different servers on the network through a SQL query which is unfortunately very slow; can u please guide me with an alternative for the same
SELECT *FROM organizationWHERE (departmentID = divisionID) AND (divisionID = branchID) AND(branchID = sectionID) AND (sectionID = unitID)Is there anyway I can make this query more simlified w/o repeating thesame column in the where clause?thankss/RC
Hi everyone, I'm trying to come up with a replacement for @@IDENTITY, because I have SQL code I want to make more portable.
Original:ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(a,b,c) VALUES(A,B,C); SELECT @@IDENTITY") Proposed solution: lock(MyDataLayer) ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM X") if(ID==null) ID=1 MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(id,a,b,c) VALUES(ID,A,B,C)") unlock(MyDataLayer) (This is of course pseudocode, for SQL Server I'd need SET IDENTITY_INSERT.)
Do you think the preceding solution is equivalent to the original? Do you know something better?
Equivalent should mean here, not necessarily generating the same ID's, but maintaining functionality and consistence all over the database.
is there a way to get around not using USE in a PROCEDURE?
I need to because I have a main site that inserts information into other DB's that i use for various subdomains. But without being able to use USE i cant select which database is needed.
My company develops software that is distributed to thousands of customers. We chose MSDE as the database engine. Over the past 4 months, we have spent countless hours with customers, Microsoft, Installshield and web searches trying to resolve issues with installing MSDE. The issues seem to vary by customer and most take a great deal of support time. We understood MSDE to be a product that requires little support but in hindsight, it appears that it requires a great deal of knowledge just to get installed. We make small steps but no leaps forward.
It has come time to evaluate other products. If there is a magic bullet, I would love to hear about it. In its absence, does anyone have success to share with other products?
