MS SQL Server :: How Do I Exclude Certain Unwanted Data From A Query Result

How To Delete Unwanted Data From Multiple Different Tables With One Single SQL Query?

Mar 18, 2008

This a microsoft SQL 2000 server.
I have a DB with mutliple tables that have a column called "Date_stamp", which is used as a primary ID.
Here is my problem:
Some of tables have a bad datetime entry for the "Date_stamp". The bad entry is '2008-3-18". I need to delete this entry from every single table that has a name similary to 'Elect_Sub%Daily'.

I know how to get the user table names from the DB as follows:

SELECT name
FROM dbo.sysobjects
WHERE xtype = 'U' and name like 'Elect_Sub%Daily'

What I need to do is have a query that will basically scroll through the tables name produced by the above query and search and delete the entries that read '2008-3-18".

delete from tableName where Date_Stamp = '2008-3-18'

Exclude Data From Query

Nov 24, 2014

I have a column that is VARCHAR(30) this column is supposed to contain values that "look" like a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy - however because it is a free-text character field often times data is entered other then a date -- "text" -

How do I return only the data that is in the format of mm/dd/yyyy

Exclude Duplicates From Result Set

Apr 2, 2008

This should be trivial but I'm ignorant so I'm hoping someone can assist. I can find lots of code snippets for removing duplicates, but I can't find a variation that works for my case.

Overview: I'm doing a name look-up, combining first & last names and if it matches against an employee table, getting the employeeID for that person. I need to only return the unique matches, and exclude any names that happen more than once in the employee table.

I have 3 possible results from my select (snippet below):
1) Single match
2) No match
3) Multiple matches (2 or more people, same first and last name)

My simple code below does exactly what I need for case 1 & 2. If there is a single match on the name, it's returns the res_ID and emp_ID as expected, if no match, no record and that works for me.

The problem I can't solve is if there are two John Smith employees, both records are returned, which is what my query requests, but not what I need. I want ONLY return data which has ONE exclusive match, and exclude all others.

Code for case 1 & 2, doesn't handle 3rd case:

Select distinct ot.res_ID, e.emp_ID
From employee e, @OutputTable ot
Where (e.fName + ' ' + e.lName) = ot.empFullNameText

Employee table has first & list names, plus emp_ID
@OutputTable is a table variable from my proc which has "John Smith" type text names as one string.

This has to be simple, but I'm over my head on this one. All ideas, reference links or other assistance appreciated.

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Exclude Row From Result Set Based On Condition

Sep 15, 2015

Lets say I have a set of columns as follows:

Table.Name - Table.ID - Table.Code

I want to write a query that will cycle through the results and if it comes across another record that has a matching Table.ID I want to exclude that row from the result set.

I am not all too familiar with how to use either a Case or If..Else Statement within a Sql statement that would accomplish this.

How To Exclude Data From An Average?

Apr 8, 2008

I am selecting the following fields

AVG_Back
AVG_Yield

I want to select both fields, like this

Select AVG(AVG_Back), AVG(AVG_Yield)
FROM tblUser
WHERE Date Between '3/1/2008' AND '3/31/2008'

I want to limit the AVG_Back field to exclude all values of 0. So only average AVG_Back if the value > 0. What is the best way to accomplish this? I can't just put it in the where clause or the AVG_Yield will be excluded too.

End Result Is Main Query Results Ordered By Nested Result

May 1, 2008

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:

SHOWS
showID
showTitle

SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID

VIDEOS
videoDate
showID

SQL is as follows:

SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;

I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?

thanks

How Do I Exclude Data From One Table Based On Data From Another?

Feb 28, 2008

I have a table called MasterSkillList which is a list of skills and attributes, eg: [Appraise, INT], [Bluff, CHA] etc
I have a table called Classes, which is a list of all classes available (and some details which are irrelevant), eg: [Fighter], [Assassin] etc.
I also have a table called ClassSkills which holds a list of classes and their applicable skills, eg: [Assassin, Bluff], [Assassin, Open Lock], [Fighter, Appraise], [Fighter, Bluff] etc.
What I have is a gridview which shows all my classes from the class table. i want to be able to select a class on that gridview and create a checkbox list of all available skills that are NOT allready associated with that class. Eg: assassin has bluff and open lock, so those two skills shouldn't appear on my checkbox list. So i want to show all the skill from the master skills list, excluding all the skills the selected class allready has.
Alternatively, It would be better if there was a way to display all the skills in existance on my checkboxlist and the ones that class allready has to be checked. Any suggestions?
Here's the query I have:
SELECT MasterSkillsList.SkillFROM ClassSkills INNER JOIN MasterSkillsList ON ClassSkills.Skill = MasterSkillsList.SkillWHERE (MasterSkillsList.Skill <> ClassSkill.Skill)
Edit:
I just added the following sql query, but when i run it i get no results even though it should show everything except 2 skills. Have I written it wrong?
SELECT SkillFROM MasterSkillsListWHERE (NOT EXISTS (SELECT Skill FROM ClassSkills WHERE (ClassName = @ClassName)))

How Do You Exclude Data That Doesn't Exist?

Apr 1, 2005

I have a cube that is showing measures that don't exist. Let me give an example. This example will include 3 dimensions, product, location, and time. The fact table measure will be sales.

Here are the distinct values if you were to write a sql query against the dimensionl model that feeds the cube.

Product Location Time Sales
A X 1/04 200
B Y 1/04 100

A X 2/04 300

In the cube, if you were to look at product by location for just 2/04, you would see:

Product Location Sales
All Loc 300
A X 300
Y

All Loc
B X
Y

How do you get rid of the zero's or combinations that don't exist?

Thanks,

Doug

Reporting Services :: Report Builder - Set Parameter To Include Or Exclude Columns From Data Presentation

Oct 2, 2015

Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).

___________________________________
| ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION | VALUE |
___________________________________
| 1 | INDEX1 | LOCATION1 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 2 | INDEX1 | LOCATION2 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 3 | INDEX1 | LOCATION3 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 4 | INDEX2 | LOCATION1 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 5 | INDEX2 | LOCATION2 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 6 | INDEX2 | LOCATION3 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 7 | INDEX3 | LOCATION1 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 8 | INDEX3 | LOCATION2 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 9 | INDEX3 | LOCATION3 | 1 |
___________________________________

The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.

select
a.PRODUCT_INDEX
, a.LOCATION1(VALUE)
, b.LOCATION2(VALUE)
, c.LOCATION3(VALUE)
from

[Code] .....

__________________________________________________________________
| PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)|
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX2 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________

I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.

select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)

__________________________________________________________________
| PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)|
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________

Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:

__________________________________________________
| JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) |
__________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 1 | 1 |
__________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________

Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.

Unwanted Sort

Mar 21, 2006

Hi All,I am trying to delete rows from a table using a SQL statement similarto this:DELETE FROM TableA where ID1 IN(Select ID1 From TableB where ID2>= @min and ID2<=@max)Basically I want to delete all rows from TableA that have an ID in arange in TableB. This is done in a stored proc.When I look at the execution plan, it is using the indexes as I wouldhope for. The problem is that it is doing a sort which accounts for73% of the cost. I do not need to sort the results. I don't care whatorder they are deleted in.How can I prevent the sort from occuring? I need this delete to occuras fast as possible.Thanks In Advance

SP To Perform Query Based On Multiple Rows From Another Query's Result Set

Nov 7, 2007

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included)         INSERT INTO @users            SELECT u.userName,u.userID                FROM tableU u               LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID               WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is:             SELECT u.userName,u.userID
               FROM tableU u
               LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
               WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!

Unwanted NVARCHAR Padding

Jan 22, 2004

I've created an asp.net page that takes the content of text boxes and writes them to a sql table.

The problem is that when I examine the resulting data in the SQL database, I find that the fields written to have had padding added (up to the maximum size of the fields).

I was under the impression that fields of type NVARCHAR did not store padding (only the no of characters being stored).

I've checked it's not the text boxes on the aspx page by explicitly posting values instead of the boxes content and the same thing happens.

Help

example of function i'm using to post data:

Function AddNews(ByVal Category As String, ByVal ApplicRole As String, ByVal NewsType As String, ByVal Description As String, ByVal News As String, ByVal Hyperlink As String, ByVal Email As String, ByVal BirthDate As Date, ByVal KillDate As Date, ByVal Parent As String) As Integer

Remove Unwanted Logins .

Jun 18, 2002

Hi ,

I have lot of SQL logins which do not have access to any databases . They do not show any database access when i check their properties .
My server is SQL 7.0 with SP 3 .

I want to clean up those logins with the help of script instead of deleting every login manually which is time consuming as i have to check the database access before deleting the login.

Is there any where script available or any other way to delete these unnecessary logins ? Also will it be a problem on the SQL Server if i delete those logins at one command ?

Any info. will be helpful to me.

Thanks

Unwanted Auto-incrementing

Aug 17, 2006

Here is a simplified version of my problem:
I am inserting data into a table using a stored procedure. The table has an identity column that increments with each insert. When I use erroneous data in the other fields the insert fails….no surprises there! But when the next insert occurs with valid data I find that my identity field has increased even with those inserts that failed, so my sequence has jumped a few numbers. How do I get the identity inserts to roll back if the rest of the data in a row doesn’t insert successfully?

Unwanted Date Conversion - Please Help

Jul 3, 2007

Hello, I have a report that is based on a dynamic column. The column is specified by the user, and the column tyep may be text, datetime, or bigint. The user specifies the column name, and there is also a parameter that specifies the type. I allow my users to format the date via passing in a date format string, so my code looks something like:

=Switch

(

Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "text",

Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value,

Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "date",

[DO DATE FUNCTIONS HERE, e.g. Year(Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value)],

Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "numeric",

Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value

)

The trouble I am running into is that I am getting invalid date conversion errors whenever a text value is being supplied - in other words, the code in the "DO DATE FUNCTIONS HERE" is being executed regardless of whether my primary column type parameter is text OR date. It would appear that all conversion fuctions are calculated at runtime prior to running other logic. If so, this is a bad thing for me, as that means I cannot mix data types in the same report and figure it out all dynamically. Is this true? I had always thought that the date code (in the example above, the call to Year()) would not be executed unless that statement in the switch statement was true. I've had the same luck with If statements, and Choose statements, and I've even tried using custom code.

I think my whole problem relates to a misunderstanding of how the functions are processed. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks!

Michael

Re-display Result Set Without Re-running Query In Query Analyzer?

Apr 9, 2006

I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.

Transact SQL :: SELECT On Column Name From Query Result Set In Same Query?

May 9, 2015

I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).

To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:

COLUMN_NAME Value
----------- -----
colB 123
colA XYZ

I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...

Below is what I have:

CREATE TABLE myTable (colA VARCHAR(3), colB VARCHAR(3), colC VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('ABC', '123', '0X')
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('XYZ', '789', 'X0')
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC) AS SMALLINT) pos, STUFF(colC, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC), '') colC

[Code] ....

Unwanted Conversion Fails Sorting Code

Jan 13, 2005

I have some code that sorts a column logically even if it contains both numbers and text. But I've found that SQL converts certain characters automatically....

Here is the code...

SELECT * FROM TABLE

order by
case when isnumeric(fieldname)=1 then
right(replicate(' ', 10 ) + convert(varchar,convert(numeric(10),fieldname)),10)
else fieldnameend --10 is the length of the field

The issue I've run across is that if my column contains the following strings(5D000,5E000,4E001) it thinks they are numeric then the THEN part of the condition causes a typecasting error....

I found out that any certain combinations of number + E or D + 0. Does anyone know a way to get around this? Try it out select isnumeric('5E0303') will return 1
