Howdy,
Is it okay to use a literal value with the IN clause. E.g.
SELECT somefield, anotherfield
.....
WHERE ...etc.
AND 1234 IN (SELECT userid FROM tblUsers)
I was told it wasn't valid, but I'm pretty sure it worked for me. Just
seeking clarification.
cheers,
I'm struggling with the syntax for qualifying an openquery's results with a where clause. I copied this from examples on the web but get the error incorrect syntax near '32810'.
declare @sysid varchar(50) = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'
declare @sql varchar(500) =
'select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,''select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = ''' + @sysid + ''''')'
exec(@sql)
selecting @sql it looks like
select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,'select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'')
Hi,
A really basic problem in psuedo code...
select * from mytable where email = 'test@go.com'
This throws back:
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string 'test@'.
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'test@'.
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ''.
Because of the 'go'. Other addresses featuring 'go' suffer the same problem. How do I escape it?
Thanks,
Joe
I have a stored procedure that starts like this:
.
.
.
UPDATE Employees
set depth=0, hierarchy=NULL
UPDATE Employees
set depth=1, hierarchy=right(@MaxPadLength + CAST(Employees.Parent AS varchar(255)),@DisplayPadLength)
where Child = Parent
WHILE EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE Depth=0
)
.
.
.
I have many tables that have the same structure as the Employees table but have different names. I would like to pass the PS a paramater with the table name I want to process. My question is what is the correct syntax to use a parameter in place of the literals for the table name?
Thanks
I am trying to extract the month from a date field, and I am able to get the integer for the month, however, when I try to convert the integer to the literal, e.g. 3 to March, I am having issues.
I have a field called PROCES, which represents a date processed, which is numeric(8).... i.e. 20061231.
I am using:
SELECT datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime))
which gives me the correct integer.
When I try:
SELECT datename(mm,datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime)))
I get January for all records...?
Does anyone know why, and how to fix.
Thanks
What exactly is happening when a query is sent using the N in front ofthe string to be found?Under what conditions would someone use the N' in a query?I have been testing out some chinese text. I set up some fields ofnVarchar, nText and it works with an N. Without the N, it wont work.N also works with fields of varchar and text for english.Would this ever cause a problem to a query depending on how themachines regional settings are set? Why not just put N in all of thequeryies?If anyone has some ideas, I would be grateful for any and allinformation about the N.

Hi,
I want to convert literal string to unicode before insert into the database. and after insertion i want to retrive this value from data base and convert back to literal string.
pls tell me how to incode and decode literal string to unicode and from unicode to literal string.
In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?
When a report is exported to Excel, the footer is set to a literal "page 1 of 1" even though it's specified as
="Page " + CStr(Globals!PageNumber) + " of " + CStr(Globals!TotalPages)
in the rldc report definition.
Hence, if you print from Excel every page has the 'page 1 of 1' footer. Not very useful.
Is there a way to either suppress the output of the footer (only when going to Excel cause you need it when exporting to PDF) -or- get it to generate the correct excel footer of 'page 1 of ?'????
Thanks,
Hi,
I'm a newbee to SQL Server. I have a very simple question to you experts: How should I code a literal of the "datetime"-Datatype? For Example in the VALUES-clause of an SQL-statement. I have tested several "formats" ('20.04.2006 11:15:00' with an 4-digit year enclosed in single apostrophes) but all i earned is an exception!
Any help very appreciated!
Thanks in advance and best regards
Reiner
PS.: I'm using a german-localized database (thus the date-format dd.MM.yyyy).
The proc below does two queries that are functionally identical. The only difference is that one LIKE 'foo%', and the other uses LIKE @searchText, where @searchText = 'foo%'.
But the first does an index seek, and the second does an index scan -- and it makes a big difference in performance. (Timing stats are below.)
How can I make the second query seek instead of scanning?
CREATE PROCEDURE test_like
@searchText nvarchar(64)
AS
-- Straight literal string search
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE 'foo%'
-- With param
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE @searchText
OPTION(OPTIMIZE FOR(@searchText = 'foo%'))
GO
EXEC test_like 'foo%'
-- Query 1:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.
-- Query 2:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 47 ms, elapsed time = 40 ms.
Hello all,
From what I've read, SQL Server is supposed to do a phrase match when you do a full text search that contains quoted literals. So, for example, if I did a full text search on the phrase "time out" and I put it in quotes, it's supposed to search for the full phrase "time out" and not just look for rows that contain the words "time" or "out." However, this isn't working for me.
Here is the query that I'm using :
SELECT *
FROM Content_Items ci
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, hed, '"time out"') AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]
ORDER BY ft.RANK DESC
What's it's doing is this : it's returning a bunch of rows that have the words "time" or "out" in the column called hed. It's also returning rows that have the full phrase "time out", but it's giving those rows the same rank as rows that only contain the word "time." In this case, that rank is 180.
Is there anything else I should be doing in my query, or is there some configuration option I should have turned on?
Thanks.
The Web Service Task seems to support calling methods using parameters but not (as far as I can see) using the Document/Literal calling convention. Is this correct? Is this likely to change in the future?
Thanks

Hi, I have a datareader component of which i am dynamically setting its sqlcommand statement with expression (click the background of dataflow > properties > expressions). Now my sql select statement has about 600 fields so that makes my expression statment "select field1, field2, .....from table1 where field2 >=" + @[User::dateforfield2] but when i evalute the expresssion (which is right), i get the error: A string literal in the expression exceeds the maximum allowed length of 4000 character and i think its because of the fields in my select statment causing my string literal to grow more than 4000 characters. Is there any way to increase the max string literal for expressions. Please help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on SSRS report deployed on the sharepoint.
By default, it is displaying " Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services " on the report

Any way to replace it with some other text etc...
how SQL 2012 would treat a literal string for a comparison similar to below. I want to ensure that the server isn't implicitly converting the value as it runs the SQL, so I'd rather change the data type in one of my tables, as unicode isn't required.
Declare @T Table (S varchar(2))
Declare @S nvarchar(255)
Insert into @T
Values ('AR'), ('AT'), ('AW')
Set @S = 'Auto Repairs'
Select *
from @T T
where case @S when 'Auto Repairs' then 'AR'
when 'Auto Target' then 'AT'
when 'Auto Wash' then 'AW' end = T.STo summarise
in the above would AR, AT and AW in the case statement be treated as a nvarchar, as that's the field the case is wrapped around, or would it be treated as a varchar, as that's what I'm comparing it to.
I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?
I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.
When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.
I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID

SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1
)
2 examples:
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

Hi,
What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?
eg :
SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5
SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5
I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.
Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.
Thanks,
Gopi.

hi..
i have basic question like
what is differance between conditions put in ON clause and in WHERE clause in JOINS????
see conditions that shown in brown color
select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)
select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitIDAND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)
another thing...
if we put AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitID condition in second query then shall we remove
d1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID from WHERE clause????
Hi everyone,
I saw some queries where SQL inner join clause and the where clause is used at the same time. I knew that "on" is used instead of the "where" clause. Would anyone please exaplin me why both "where" and "on" clause is used in some sql Select queries ?
Thanks
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave

I have a range of dates that I want to grab, in there I do not want any records where ID has 6,7,8 and I only want records where LW does not equal 1. UP to this point, it works fine. I get all the records that only return these values. However, the moment I add where LWU does not equal 'test'. it does not return the values I want.

I would really would like it to work on a range of month and day based on the startdate and enddate fields and the MailTo flag.

EndDate,MailTo
WHERE (A.MailTo=1) AND (A.EndDate Is Null OR DatePart(mm,A.Enddate) >= DatePart(mm,GETDATE()) AND DatePart(dd,A.Enddate) >= DatePart(dd,GETDATE()))
