I have a view where I'm trying to populate a field base on the values on the USEJSLOAD field. The USEJSLOAD it's a (bit,null) field and there are only two types of values on it they are 'True' or 'False' so if it's true grab the data from one field else the other field. When I try to run the view I get the following error, 'Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '1-1S ' to data type int. Any help would be greatly be appreciated.
(CASE WHEN dbo.ftlibr_base.USEJSLOAD = 1 THEN dbo.trn_transport.TRN_LOADNODERIVED ELSE trn_transport.TRN_DISPATCHNO END)
I am trying to use the 'case' statement in a view. It looks like this.
select column1,column2 case when substring(column3,1,2) like '01' then my_column ='city_name' end from table1
I keep getting an incorrect syntax near 'like'. column1 and column2 exist in the table that the view is dependent on, but my_column is a virtual column, meaning I am creating this column on the fly. Thanks
Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip, EMAILaddress FROM orders;
my question is: If the email @ sign exist in the EMAILaddress column then I need to have a Y show in another column called EMAILflag, if the @ sign does not exist then I would need the EMAILflag to be a N.
This what I have but the emailaddress column is not always null it just has spaces in the field. Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip, EMAILaddress, CASE WHEN emailaddress IS NULL THEN 'N' ELSE 'Y' END AS emailflag FROM orders;
I am executing a case statement list below,USE NorthwindSELECTMONTH(OrderDate) AS OrderMonth,SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)WHEN 1996 THEN 1ELSE 0END) AS c1996,SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)WHEN 1997 THEN 1ELSE 0END) AS c1997,SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)WHEN 1998 THEN 1ELSE 0END) AS c1998FROM OrdersGROUP BY MONTH(OrderDate)ORDER BY MONTH(OrderDate)According to BOL I should be able to save this query as a view.However when I try to save the query as a view I get a error messagestating"View definition includes no output columns or includes no items inthe FROM clause"According to what I have read although the case statement is notsupported via the enterprise query pane, the query should still runand be saved. In my case however I cannot seem to save it no matterwhat I try.Can anyone shed any light on the matter?Thanks in advanceBryan
In SQL 7, when a view parses the below code, it generates a 'CASE is not Supported' error'; however, it will still generate and show the field with the CASE statements correctly; What might cause this error?
(Other useful info: this code is from a converted SQL 6.5 DB and the SQL 7 is running in compatibility mode, i inserted '' to remove concantenation of NULL problems;)
Example of display: 10132 Hampton, VA: A. Deepak Publishing
SELECT PublisherID, Info = CASE WHEN City IS NOT NULL THEN City + CASE WHEN State IS NOT NULL THEN ', ' + State ELSE '' END + ': ' ELSE '' END + Publisher FROM tblLibraryPublishers
The below would work if all of the values in A.Value were numbers but they are not. So I need to restrict the view to only look at the following measures but still show all the other row.
WHERE [Measure] IN ('RTT-01','RTT-04','RTT-07') SELECT M.[Description] ,A.* ,M.Threshold ,M.[Threshold Direction]
[Code] ....
Is there any way that I can create a select statement in the case when to only look for them measures that I know contain numbers?
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to search against a SQL Server 2000 using a case insensitive search when SQL Server 2000 is a case sensitive installation?
We need to install CI database on CS server, and there are some issueswith stored procedures.Database works and have CI collation (Polish_CI_AS). Server hascoresponding CS collation (Polish_CS_AS). Most queries and proceduresworks but some does not :-(We have table Customer which contains field CustomerID.Query "SELECT CUSTOMERID FROM CUSTOMER" works OK regardless ofcharacter case (we have table Customer not CUSTOMER)Following TSQL generate error message that must declare variable @id(in lowercase)DECLARE @ID INT (here @ID in uppercase)SELECT @id=CustomerID FROM Customer WHERE .... (here @id in lowercase)I know @ID is not equal to @id in CS, but database is CI and tablenames Customer and CUSTOMER both works. This does not work forvariables.I suppose it is tempdb collation problem (CS like a server collationis). I tried a property "Identifier Case Sensitivity" for myconnection, but it is read only and have value 8 (Mixed) by default -this is OK I think.DO I MISS SOMETHING ????
I am working in a SQL server database that is configured to be case-insensetive but I would like to override that for a specific query. How can I make my query case-sensitive with respect to comparison operations?
I am curious with using replication in sql server 2005 one way from db A (source) replicating to db B(destination) in which db A has a collation of CS and db B has a collation of CI. Will there be any problems with this scenario? Thanks in advance!
I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END, shipment_status_text = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 'Condition 1 text' WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 'Condition 2 text' WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 'Condition 3 text' WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 'Condition 4 text' ELSE 'Error' END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block ...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
I am working on a C#/asp.net web application. The application has a text box that allows a user to enter a name. The name is then saved to the database. Before the name is saved to the database, I need to be able to check if the name already exists in the database. The problem here is that what if the name is in the database as "JoE ScMedLap" and somoene enters the name as "Joe Schmedlap" which already exists in the database,but just differs in case. In other words how do deal with case sensitiviy issues.
Yesterday I received a response to my CI/CS Collation problem and therecommendation was to try and restore a CI Collation database to a CSCollation database. After creating a blank CS database a full restore(Force restore over existing database) does change the Collation toCI. I'm unsure as to how I can restore without changing theCollation. Any suggestions?
I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
Write a CREATE VIEW statement that defines a view named Invoice Basic that returns three columns: VendorName, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceTotal. Then, write a SELECT statement that returns all of the columns in the view, sorted by VendorName, where the first letter of the vendor name is N, O, or P.
This is what I have so far,
CREATE VIEW InvoiceBasic AS SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceTotal From Vendors JOIN Invoices ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID
I created a query, which makes use of a temp table, and I need the results to be displayed in a View. Unfortunately, Views do not support temp tables, as far as I know, so I put my code in a stored procedure, with the hope I could call it from a View....
I compared view query plan with query plan if I run the same statementfrom view definition and get different results. View plan is moreexpensive and runs longer. View contains 4 inner joins, statisticsupdated for all tables. Any ideas?
I had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwFeat AS SELECT dbo.Lk_Feat.Descr, dbo.Lk_Feat.Price, dbo.Lk_Feat.Code, dbo.SubFeat.SubNmbr FROM dbo.Lk_Feat INNER JOIN dbo.SubFeat ON dbo.Lk_Feat.Idf = dbo.SubFeat.Idt
When ever I open using SQL Entreprise manager to edit it by adding or removing a field i inserts Expr1,2.. and I don t want that. The result I get is:
SELECT dbo.Lk_Feat.Descr AS Expr1, dbo.Lk_Feat.Price AS Expr2, dbo.Lk_Feat.Code AS Expr3, dbo.SubFeat.SubNmbr AS Expr4 FROM dbo.Lk_Feat INNER JOIN dbo.SubFeat ON dbo.Lk_Feat.Idf = dbo.SubFeat.Idt
I don t want Entreprise manager to generate the Expr fields since I use the real fields in my application. Thanks for help
I was looking through our vendors views, searching for something Ineeded for our Datawarehouse and I came across something I do notunderstand: I found a view that lists data when I use it in t-sql,however when I try to use the statement when I modified the view (viaMS SQL Server Management Studio) I can not execute the statement.

A colleague of mine has a view that returns approx 100000 rows in about 60 seconds.
He wants to use the data returned from that view in an OLE DB Source component.
When he selects the view from the drop-down list of available tables then SSIS seems to hang without any data being returned (he waited for about 15 mins).
He then changed the OLE DB Source component to use a SQL statement and the SQL statement was: SELECT * FROM <viewname>
In this instance all the data was returned in approx 60 seconds (as expected).
This makes no sense. One would think that selecting a view from the drop-down and doing a SELECT *... from that view would be exactly the same. Evidently that isn't the case.
I just can't get the case to work for me in this view.

I have a query using Transact-SQL and it is moderately complex. I was wondering if someone could tell me if it would be better to use IF...ELSE statements or CASE, WHEN...THEN statements.
What I have is something like this...
Code:
SELECT something something code = CASE
WHEN something IN (A list of things) IF something else THEN 4
I have just though of doing IF...ELSE statements to keep it simply, but this query needs to run in a relative quick time frame. I guess my question is, is IF...ELSE faster or is it faster to use a CASE statement?
