So the query I am looking for would basically add some values to the results where they meet the right criteria.
I am running the query through a view so I dont actually want to add the values to the physical tables only to the view of the results if you understand what I mean?
I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
- First_Name - Last_Name - Email - User_Field_2 - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?
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.
It reproducible on

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?
I am trying to update a name column in the following way: (I wrote a description, but I think this visual is easier to understand).
This is what I have:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob null 123 street
Sue null 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
This is what I want:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob Sue 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
I'm just trying to get 2 names on the same row if they have the same address and get rid of the spare row. Name2 is currently null. Seems simple enough but I don't know how to do it in SQL. I can do it in FoxPro, but that doesn't help me here.
I am trying to populate a column with date/time info, I am doing this so I can use getdate() on the data for other computations (the format is mon/day/yr/hours/mins, i was told only data having mon/day/yr format can be used with getdate()). The code below says that dateyest is an invalid object name. Actually, any kind of insert I do reports the same error, no matter what column it is (securty on my account is all set, as well as for the stored proc.). I must be overlooking something very simple, right? thanks for the help!
DECLARE @dateYest datetime DECLARE Cur668 CURSOR Keyset FOR SELECT cast(date1 as datetime) dt FROM baclosetable OPEN Cur668
fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN if @dateyest is not null Insert dateyest VALUES (@dateYest) fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest END CLOSE Cur668 DEALLOCATE Cur668

I have a big table (> 40,000,000 rows) in SQL Server 2008 R2 database . I added new column of type int to the table. What is the fastest way to populate the column with -1 value. The table can be locked.
I am having hard time to populate dynamic column based on parameters.For eg. Parameter-->Dates : Date(1) ,Date(2),Date(3)....Date (n) (Multiple-Parameters is selected by drop down list ) Report format: Id | Currency |Country |District |Date(1)- transaction |Date(2)-transaction |Date(n) 1 | $$ |USA |123 |523238 |643763573 |62376264
Now requirement is If user enter 1 date then only single column date(1) populate if enter (n) dates then n column Date(1) ,Date(2),Date(3)....Date (n) populate. kindly suggest me any solution requirement.
I tried to bind Visibility property of column with Parameters passed.So that user can see only those column for which they pass values.I am getting error "Index was outside the bounds of the array"
I write this expression under Column(Date)-->Property-->visibility --> hidden--> expression =iif(len(Parameters!VALUEDATE.Value(1)) > "0",false,true) Kindly suggest any working solution .Thank you

I have a table which is already populated with data (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have now created a new column (int) which i want to populate with sequential numbers so that the new column created will serve let me know how many records exist in the table at a glance.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly created column with 1,2,,3,4,5 etc so that I can sort of number the records within the table.
I have 50000 records which I need to number and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.
Table: classes Columns: classID, hp Table: char_active Columns: name, classID, hp
The classes table is already populated.
What I want to do is insert a new row into char_active using the name and classID column, and have the HP column auto populate based on the corresponding value in the classes table. This is the trigger I wrote but I'm getting the error
Incorrect syntax near 'inserted'.
I'm new to sql, this is actually the first trigger I've tried writing.
create trigger new_hp on curr_chars.char_active instead of insert as declare @hp tinyint select @hp=lists.classes.hp from lists.classes where lists.classes.classID=inserted.classID insert into curr_chars.char_active (name, classID, hp) inserted.name, inserted.classID, @hp go
The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' ) Begin --Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column. SET @id = 0 UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1; End;
I have a integer column which has Default value alredy defined. How do i alter this column so that it's defult value will be removed. I want to do this using T-SQL statement. Not through design mode.
I have inherited a database that has a column defined as bit. Looking at BOL it shows the valid values are 0,1, null. However there are several rows of data which have -1. Is BOL wrong? we think a VB program runs an update which changes this.
I have a user defined function (UDF) that takes 2 parameters. These parameters will be mapped from OLE DB source column values. I want the function result to be a new column that will be mapped to an OLE DB destination. Should this be done using a lookup task, OLE DB command task, or...? If this is possible I would appreciate a very specific example of how it's done.
BTW I tried using a lookup task with a SQL command before the UDF idea occurred to me and ran into problems using parameters in the SQL query:
Parameter Information cannot be derived from SQL statments. Set parameter information before preparing command.
I've seen the posts about going to the advanced tab and messing with the parameters there but I was hoping using a UDF would be easier, if it can be done.

Hi, I have a stored procedure that calls a scalar function. It works fine on my development database, but on my production database, I get this error when trying to execute the procedure: Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.MyFunction", or the name is ambiguous. However, I am able to execute the function outside of the procedure like this: select dbo.MyFunction(0, 0) Anyone have idea? I can't figure it out.
I need to refine a query in which one of the search conditions would depend on the value evaluated from the CASE function in SELECT statement. This returned column is named as "SLA". Now, the problem is I don't know how to recall this column in the WHERE clause as to do refinement. When I code it like SLA = @Term, SQL Server returned an error: Invalid column name 'SLA'
If anyone knows a solution, please kindly let me know.
Thank you!
Here is the sample code:

I am trying to key a Personnel Table on a person's initials. Obviously there may be more than one person with the same initials so I am trying to use a User Defined Function to see how many of a certain set of initials are already there, and add 1 and add the number to the Key to make it unique - DW1, DW2, DW3 etc.
But I cannot get the Computed Column Specification to accept a user Defined Function.
I'm trying to create a function that splits up a column by spaces, andI thought creating a function that finds the spaces with CHARINDEX andthen SUBSTRING on those values would an approach.

Here's a tricky SQL question that has definitely driven me to the end ofmy rope. I'm using Oracle 9i and I need to perform some simplemultiplication on a field and then display it with a percent sign usingthe COLUMN command. Here's the code thus far:COLUMN price format 9,999.99 HEADING 'Charged%'SELECT pricecharged * .231 as priceFROM VT_examdetailThe output from this reads:Charged%---------23.1034.6534.65....The kicker here is that I need to add a percent sign to the right of theoutput, so that it reads:Charged%---------23.10%34.65%34.65%....I thought I could do this by just adding "|| ('%')" into the SELECTstatement, but when I do this the decimal position defined in the COLUMNcommand is lost. Does anyone know another way around this?Thanks,Alex

The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a "SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture", so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same structure?
The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.
How do I update the OrderGUID column in Table B with Values from OrderGUID column in Table A. I have already populated the OrderGUID column in Table A using NEWSEQUENTIALID(). Now I need to populate the OrderGUID column in Table B with Matching GUID values from the OrderGUID Column in Table A.
Does any one have a script to accomplish this task. thanks
I wrote a simple data flow with an OLE DB source and destination. I do a direct mapping of the columns ( colA - > colA) with no transformations needed. I found that colA on the destinatin does not allow NULLS (required by the program that accesses that database) while colA on the source supports and has NULLs, Is there any accomodaiton for handling NULLS (like mapping them to blanks) in the direct copy approach or do I need to read each row and test colA_ISNull?
