I have a table of students, and a table of lecturers, and I wish to use one select statement to return a list of users.
What I really need to do is something like this:
SELECT Students.UserID AS UserID, Lecturers.UserID AS UserID, Students.FullName AS FullName, Lecturers.FullName AS FullName FROM Students, Lecturers
which would (in my dream world!) produce something like:
UserID FullName
s0002131 Darren Student
s0054242 Richard Student
e13412 Michael Lecturer
x92342 Linda Lecturer
Does anyone know how I should do this? Should I be doing it in an stored proceedure and returning the record set from that? Currently I'm only using ASP and one line SQL statements, and would like to continue doing so.
i'm not able to generate a sql script with the data in the tables! using sql express. i need this script to ganerate the same database with its datas in a new sql server. thanks in advance
Collin writes "i have tried to do a query between 2 different tables that have different columns. within both these tables there is a column that has a column name different from the column name of the other table but the data within both columns is the same. i wanted a query that compares the data between the 2 tables.
Example is:
Table 1 Columns : firstname , age , id , grade.
Table 2 Columns : name, sex , school.
lets say that the data of column "firstname" of table 1 contains the same data as column "name" of table 2 and i would want to do a query that retrieves records for where data in the column "firstname" in table 1 is found in column "name" of table 2.

Hi, I'm trying to write a SQL SELECT statement where the phone numer ("telnr") is divided on three rows. How do I write a newline? I've tried , NEWLINE, and a few others. Thanks in advance! Pettrer, Sweden (VB, Sql Server, VWD Express, Asp.Net 2.0) Code: SelectCommand="SELECT [gID], [enamn], [fnamn], telnr1 + ' ' + telnr2 + ' ' + telnr3 As telnr, [epost] FROM... The corresponding gridview's cell's value is 08-43 244 234 08-432 23 08-424333 and should be 08-43 244 234 08-432 23 08-424333
I have this pivot table (I only post the static version as the problem only regards the single quotes)
SELECT * from( select DATEPART(year,DeliverydatePackingSlip) as Year, CASE WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst < 0 Then '1 - too early' WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst = 0 Then '2 - on time' ELSE '3 - too late' END as Delivery from iq4bisprocess.FactOTDCustomer WHERE OTD_Exclusion = 0)a PIVOT ( COUNT(Year) For Year
in ([2012],[2013],[2014],[2015])) as pvtNow, packing everything in a string parameter I always stumble over the single quotes. I tried to replace them with CHAR(39), I tried to define a parameter for each occurrence, but always get a syntax error. What am I doing wrong?declare @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @title1 nvarchar(20) declare @title2 nvarchar(20) declare @title3 nvarchar(20) set @title1 = '1 - too early' set @title2 = '2 - on time' set @title3 = '3 - too late'

I have these 3 tables in a database for printed chamber music works:
Table INSTRUMENTS: List of musical instruments   Column ID      -- int, primary key   Column sInstrument -- string
Table PTRS_INSTRUMENTATION:   Column ID      -- int, primary key   Column lInstrument -- int, points to a row in table INSTRUMENTS via ID   Column lMainItem  -- int, points to a row in table MAINITEMS via ID   Column lInstrSeqNum -- int, sequential number of like instruments within one Main Item    Table MAINITEMS: List of chamber music works   Column ID      -- int, primary key   Column sItem    -- string    Each chamber music work (Main Item) requires an ensemble of musicians playing several instruments. Some of them may be the same, such as 2 violins. A classical quartet, for instance, consist of 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 cello. I am concerned here only with one of the instruments (although it may occur several times).
I want to extract a list of Main Items where the instrument is given (e.g., 'violin'),
And the maximum of PTRS_INSTRUMENTATION.lInstrSeqNum is a given number (e.g., 2).
An error is entered into the table, across two tables - tblErrors_ER and tblPolicyNumbers_ER - each error generates a PK (ErrorID) and can have any number of policy numbers which will be referenced by its own PK but linked to each error by its FK (ErrorID).I want to display each error in a Gridview in ASP.Net - columns included will be ErrorID, ErrorType, DateLogged from tblErrors_ER and PolicyNumber from tblPolicyNumbers_ER.If an Error has more than one policy number I only want to show the error once in the GridView with the word MULTIPLE under policy number.
I have changed the Count(*) to Count(tblPolicyNumbers_ER.POlicyNUmber) which gives me the same undesired result as above. I have also left it as Count(*) and the entire CASE expression within the GROUP BY statement as suggest above which generated an error saying I can not use an expression in a group by clause.
If I leave Count(*) = 1 where it is in the original SELECT statement but swap the = for > then something happens, close to what I require but not as intended. It returns:
ErrorID ErrorType DateLogged PolicyNumber --------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Test 08/08/2012 Multiple 2 Test 08/08/2012 Multiple
this would suggest the original syntax is close to being accurate but I can not get it to work.

Hi, I am hoping someone may have tried this before.......
Our application takes user details from Active directory, and stores the Guid in the database against an autonumber field for an easy to use userid. Any time the application wants to know anything about the user, it gets the information from Active Directory based upon the stored Guid.
I am writing a query to be used in generating reports, so I don't want to use .NET, Only SQL. I would like to be able to extract the username from Active Directory using SQL, so that the user's name, and not just their ID can be used in the report.
So far I have been able to extract all of my users names and their Guids from Active Directory using SQL, and I can extract the user Guid from our database. The problem I am having is comparing the 2! Visually they look the same, however the datatypes are different. If I convert the ActiveDirectory Guid to varchar I get gobbledegook, and if I convert the stored database Guid to varbinary then it's value is changed.
The query as it stands is below:
SELECT convert(varchar(50), [Name]) as FullName,objectGUID,ADSPath FROM openquery(ADSI, 'SELECT name, objectGuid, ADSPath FROM ''<LDAP Path>'' WHERE objectClass = ''User''') WHERE objectGuid in(Select ADObjectGUID FROM users WHERE UserId='1')
I am working with SQL Server 2000 - as many of our clients are still using this system, so solutions based on SQL Server 2005 would not be practical. (I beleive there are ways of running .NET code from SQL 2005 which would solve this problem)
Im try to use SQL server 2000 and use Enterprise to cript a table But my result is only table structure in the script (myfile.sql) (something like "create table Tb1, column..") and not have any data in my table included. how good it is if it can write some insert statement (depend on number of records existed). Could I have any way to do it with MS SQLServer 2000? Thank you much. DongMT
I try to compare and select data from table that which not in other table
Select AAA_Id ,BBB From dbo.Table1 a Where AAA_Id not in(Select b.AAA_Id From dbo.Table2 b, dbo.Table1 a Where b.AAA_Id = 11)
But when I modified it like:
Select AAA_Id ,BBB From dbo.Table1 a union Select 0 ,'Select' From dbo.Table1 a Where AAA_Id not in(Select b.AAA_Id From dbo.Table2 b, dbo.Table1 a Where b.AAA_Id = 11) Order by 2
Hi, I have a number of related tables: RGData is related to RGCrossReference RCPPositionData is related to RCPCrossReference RGCrossReference is also related to RCPCrossReference. The data is returned correctly from these tables. However, I also want to return data from another table - RComments. How do I do this? RComments is related to either RGData or RCPPositionData only. Thanks.
Code Snippet SELECT cm.CommentImage AS ViewComment, gd.PositionID AS GPositionID, cd.UniquePositionID AS CPPositionID FROM RGData gd INNER JOIN RGCrossReference g ON g.GPositionID = gd.PositionID INNER JOIN RCPCrossReference c ON c.GMatchID = g.GMatchID INNER JOIN RCPPositionData cd ON cd.UniquePositionID = c.CPPositionID left outer JOIN RComments cm ON ((cm.CPPositionID = cd.UniquePositionID) or (cm.GPositionID = gd.PositionID)) AND cm.CommentsDate = (SELECT MAX(CommentsDate) AS Expr1 FROM RComments WHERE (GPositionID = g.GPositionID)) WHERE (cd.Quantity != gd.Quantity OR cd.Currency != gd.Currency) AND g.ForcedMatch = 'no';
i have following problem: i need to import csv data into a ole db destination. on colum in the csv file is a 'external' customer number but in the destination table there must be an 'internal' customer number. of course there's a table where the mappings between external and internal customer number are defined, but this tables is located on another server. So i have no idea how to solve this problem ... maybe because i'm pretty new to ssis
1. 2 Dimensional tables(Parent), DIM1 with 50000 rows, and DIM2 with 1000 rows
2. Fact 1 with 50 columns, 25 Million rows and with FK to DIM1 and DIM2
3. Fact 2 with 40 columns, and 25 Million rows and with FK to DIM1 & DIM2 tables.
Actually the fact 1 and fact 2 have same related data but since our Analysis cube person wanted the fact table not to have more than 50 columns we divided the tables into 2, but they have the same compound key.
Above said, I have a situation where I have to select all the columns, in both fact tables, and do a group by. I wrote the query and ran "Analyze Query in the Database Engine Tuning Advisor" for it. It gave bunch of recomendations about the statistics and indexes which I created. When I executed the query the result came up in matter of seconds, which was good.
In the query I had a condition having MarketName='Bridgeview' and DateID = 344 (FK of today-1).
When I wanted the data for last 30 days I changed to DateID in ( > FK of today -32 and < FK of today), the query responded and worked fine.
But when I changed the query to get MarketName='Aurora' (other than I used when I ran Tuning Advisor), the result returned is empty set. When I removed the MarketName condition, it is supposed to return all markets' data, but it returns only Bridgeview data.
I know the data is in the table for all markets, since reports are rendered from these fact tables for all of these markets(also ran queries to check the fact table data).
I am unable to point out the reason why the query behaves like this. It responds to the date change, but not to the MarketName change.
I really appreciate if anyone can help me point out the problem.
I am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.
Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.
So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test
Last_Name First_Name ID Code Test Denise 1 5 Test Denise 2 4
After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:
Last_Name First_Name ID Code Test Denise 1 5 Test Denise 2 4 Test Denise 3 3
Here is the query as it stands now without the inclusion of the spreadsheet:
SELECT ta.last_name, ta.first_name, tb.ID, tb.code FROM TableA ta INNER JOIN TableB tb

I have three tables EmpIDs,EmpRoles and LatestRoles. I need to write a select Query to get roles of all employees present in EmpIDs table by referring EmpRoles and LatestRoles.
Where I stuck : The condition is first look into table EmpRoles and if it has more than one entry for a particular Employee ID than only need to get the Role from LatestRoles other wise consider the role from EmpRoles .
Employee ID 2 is having two roles defined in EmpRoles so for EmpID 2 need to fetch Role from LatestRoles table and for remaining ID's need to fetch from EmpRoles .
My Final Output of select query should be like below.
In a Library Management database we have these tables

I have a problem where my users complain that a select statement takes too long, at 90 seconds, to read 120 records out of a database. The select statement reads from 9 tables three of which contain 1000000 records, the others contain between 100 and 250000 records. I have checked that each column in the joins are indexed - they are (but some of them are clustered indexes, not unclustered). I have run the SQL Profiler trace from the run of the query through the "Database Engine Tuning Advisor". That just suggested two statistics items which I added (no benefit) and two indexes for tables that are not involved at all in the query (I didn't add these). I also ran the query through the Query window in SSMS with "Include Actual Execution Plan" enabled. This showed that all the execution time was being taken up by searches of the clustered indexes. I have tried running the select with just three tables involved, and it completes fast. I added a fourth and it took 7 seconds. However there was no WHERE clause for the fourth table, so I got a cartesian product which might have explained the problem. So my question is: Is it normal for such a type of read query to take 90 seconds to complete? Is there anything I could do to speed it up. Any other thoughts? Thanks
I need to write a 'select' statement to fetch data from different tables, which are located on different servers. Can any one help in writing this 'select' statement with out moving the tables on to same server.
I need to copy data from warehouse tables to master tables of different SQL instances. Refresh need to done once in an hour. What is the best way to do this? SQL agent jobs or SSIS packages?
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

Hi,I have a sql query like this select avg([mycolumn]) from data where date > '1/5/08' and date < '1/10/08' group by [mycolumn]order by [mycolumn] descIf all values within that average are numbers, I'm fine. If it's a 0 (not a null, a 0) it doesn't get averaged in. For instance, values 0,1,2 should produce an average of 1.(0+1+2)/3 = 1. But sql is returning a value as if my 0's were nulls and not factored in: (1+2)/2 = 1.5Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi all, I have a large Excel file with one large table which contains data, i've built a SQL Server DataBase and i want to fill it with the data from the excel file.
Hi,I'm trying to include a button control inside an iff where I am showing the results of a datalist. My aim is for each user listed, to show whether or not he is already a friend of the logged in user. To do this, I want to create an iff where if the user is already a friend, I will show the text "already a friend". If the user is not yet a friend, there will be a button saying "add as friend" which when clicked will execute an insert query to the database to add that user as a friend. I tried the code below, but it doesn't seem to recognize the button inside the iff. I really need a button to work if the result of the iff condition is DBNull.Value... Can anyone please help? <%#IIf(Container.DataItem("userNameIfFriend") Is DBNull.Value, "<asp:LinkButton id='addbuddy' runat='server' > Add as buddy</asp:LinkButton>", "Already buddy")%> I also tried the code below instead, but it doesn't work either, and I do not know what to include instead of true and false, since the button would only be enabled if the case was true. <asp:LinkButton id='addbuddy' runat='server' Enabled="<%#IIf(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, “userNameIfFriend�) is DBNull.Value, “True�, “False�)%>">Add as friend</asp:LinkButton> Thanks a lot.
