Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement

Nov 7, 2007

Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?




SET NOCOUNT ON


Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000

Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)

Set @Counter = 0

while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end


Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'

Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'

Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL
Select 'brian'


select
1 ProviderId, -- static value
'' Identifier,
'' ClassificationCode,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type

from @NumericBase



SET NOCOUNT OFF

Variable For The Table Name In A SELECT Statement.

Apr 23, 2007

Hi,I'm trying to dynamically assign the table name for a SELECT statement but can't get it to work. Given below is my code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO


CREATE PROCEDURE GetLastProjectNumber (@DeptCode varchar(20))
AS
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @ProjectNumber int
SET @ProjectNumber = 'ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','')
SELECT MAX(@ProjectNumber)
FROM 'tbl_ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','');
END TRANSACTION  Basically, I have a bunch of tables which were created dynamically using the code from this post and now I need to access the last row in a table that matches the supplied DeptCode. This is the error I get:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetLastProjectNumber, Line 29Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_ProjectNumber'. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Using A Variable To Specify Table Column In Sql Statement??

Feb 6, 2008

Hello everyone,
I'm still quite new ASP.net, Visual Web Developer 2008, and SQL. It has been a fun learning experience so far. Anyways, the site I am designing needs to allow its users to extensively search several different databases (MS SQL databases).  I have followed many of the tutorials and have found it rather easy to add table adapters, gridviews and other data features that use basic SQL Select statements. One of the major database tables contains several columns which I would like to include as a search parameters from a drop down list. I was wondering if there is any way I can write a select which will pass a variable to be used as a column name to the statement?  For example:
SELECT DATE, GAME, EXACT, @COLNAMEFROM HistoryWHERE @COLNAME = @SOMEVARIABLE
This obviously doesnt work, but thats the gist of what I want to do. Any suggestions? I need this to be simple as possible, Most everything I'm doing is done through the visual design mode. Im still slow to learn C# and apply it in the codebehind files unless I have very detailed step by step instuctions.
Thanks
Scott

Select Statement With Run Time Field Selection

Jan 3, 2008



I have this SELECT statement.


SELECT [issueID], [name] FROM [MyIssue]


What I wanted to do is in addition to the above statement, I want to add two run time fields like this:


99 [issueID],'All Issues' [name]

So let's say the above select statements generates this list:

Summer 2007 Issue
Winter 2007 Issue

The two addition fields will make the result list like this:

01 Summer 2007 Issue
02 Winter 2007 Issue
99 All Issues


How do I accomplish this? Any help is much appreciated.

Subquery In SELECT Statement Before FROM

Nov 19, 2006

Hello!

I can use querys like these in Access:

SELECT Field1,
(SELECT Field2 FROM Table2 WHERE Key=1) AS Field2 FROM Table1
SELECT Field1,
(SELECT Count(Field2) FROM Table2 ) AS Field2 FROM Table1

But when I
try execute it with SQL Server Everywhere it says "Token in error
=
SELECT".

Is there some kind of limitations to do this with SQL Everywhere? SQL Everywhere seems to be nice compared with Access and JET but for my project it's useless if I can't use subquerys.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?

Jul 12, 2004

Hello fellow .net developers,

In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.

Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.

So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?

Example:

Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers

Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address

I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.

I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.

I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Subquery Issues In A Select Statement

Nov 28, 2006

Hi there,

I am pulling back records from the DB in this case to get Wheel information. I am pulling back based on user input, but also need to query a second table that contains the Price and model number from another table based on a field being pulled back in the original select.

I am not sure if this makes sense, here is a working copy of the SQL I have , but it's not pretty. There must be another way of stating this statement that i am missing, can anyone give me some suggestiosn?

SELECT tblMacPak2.*,
(SELECT ListPrice
FROM tblMacPakPrices
WHERE WheelId = OEMWheel) AS ListPrice,
(SELECT PartNumber
FROM tblMacPakPrices
WHERE WheelId = OEMWheel) AS PartNumber
FROM tblMacPak2
WHERE (Make = N'honda') AND (Model = N'civic') AND (SubModel = N'standard') AND (YearRange = N'2006') AND (Factory_Wheel_Diameter = N'15')

3 selects in one statement...that can't be right.

Thanks,

Select Into Statement Without Taking Auto Increment Of ID Column To The New Table

Mar 7, 2011

Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.

The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries

Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
 
btw I have used this statement

SET
IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable

ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...

Inputting Random Numbers To Table Column From Web Form

Feb 28, 2007

I'm grappling with this issue which I thought was basic VB programming; I'm trying to insert a random number (between 100 and 999) into a SQL table column (=Status_ID). This is input as part of a user submitting helpdesk requests via a APS.Net Web Form. The 'Status_ID' field is obviously not visible to the user but will help reference this Helpdesk request on the database.Here is the code:Protected Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click        If Page.IsValid Then            ' Define data objects            Dim conn As SqlConnection            Dim comm As SqlCommand            ' Read the connection string from web.config            Dim connectionString As String = _            ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ITNet_Students").ConnectionString            ' Initialize connection            conn = New SqlConnection(connectionString)            ' Create command            comm = New SqlCommand( _            "INSERT INTO HelpDesk (First_Name, Last_Name, StudentID, PersonalEmail," & _            "CategoryID, SubjectID, Description, StatusID) " & _            "VALUES (@First_Name, @Last_Name, @StudentID, @PersonalEmail, " & _            "@CategoryID, @SubjectID, @Description, @StatusID)", conn)            ' Use randomize            Randomize()            Dim randomvalue As Integer            ' Generate random value between 999 and 100.            randomvalue = Int((900 * Rnd()) + 100)            ' Add command parameters            comm.Parameters.Add("@First_Name", System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50)            comm.Parameters("@First_Name").Value = fnameTextBox.Text            .            .            .            comm.Parameters.Add("@StatusID", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int)            comm.Parameters("@StatusID").Value = randomvalue            'Enclose database code in Try-Catch-Finally            Try                ' Open connection                conn.Open()                ' Execute the command                comm.ExecuteNonQuery()                ' Reload page if the query executed successfully                Response.Redirect("HelpDesk.aspx")            Catch                ' Display error message                dbErrorMessage.Text = _                    "Error submitting the help desk request!

Selection From Sorted Subquery Is Unsorted In SQL Server 2005

Jun 14, 2007

I have some relatively simple SQL that acts differently between SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

Declaring A Table Variable Within A Select Table Joined To Other Select Tables In Query

Oct 15, 2007

Hello,

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



Select * from

(

declare @years table (years int);

insert into @years

select

CASE

WHEN month(getdate()) in (1) THEN year(getdate())-1

WHEN month(getdate()) in (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) THEN year(getdate())

END

SQL Select Statement With A 'string' Variable?

'System.Security.Principal' does not match with a table name or alias name used
in the query. Here's a piece of the code that is supposed to detect the current logged in user.  However, it gives the error. (some of the code may be redundant but its not causing issues that I can tell)  public void InitPage()    {            IPrincipal p = HttpContext.Current.User;            String myid = HttpContext.Current.User.ToString();            SqlServer sqlServer = new SqlServer(Util.SqlConnectionString());            DataTable dt;            SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconnection"].ConnectionString);            SqlDataAdapter cmd1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from USER WHERE USER_NAME = "+ myid, cnn);            DataTable UIDtable = new DataTable();            cmd1.Fill(UIDtable);            User_Id.Value = UIDtable.Rows[0]["ID"].ToString();            dt = sqlServer.USER_SELECT(Util.SiteURL(Request.QueryString["Pg"].ToString()), User_Id.Value);

Use A Variable Along With The FROM Clause In SELECT Statement

Dec 28, 2004

I have a table 'table_list' which contains two columns, table_name and a record_count. This table stores a list of tables and their corresponding record counts.

What I am trying to do is, to be able to write a select statement, that can read each table name in the 'table_name' column, execute a select count(*) for the same, and update its record_count with the result of select count(*).

This is the code in my procedure..

DECLARE @tab_list CURSOR
set @tab_list = CURSOR FOR select * from table_list
OPEN @tab_list

DECLARE @tab_name varchar(256)
DECLARE @rec_cnt int
FETCH NEXT FROM @tab_list INTO @tab_name, @rec_cnt

select count(*) from @tab_name

This select is looping around along with FETCH till all the table names are exhausted and their counts are updated from the cursor back into the table.

Problem is that, I am not able to use select count(*) from @tab_name, and its not accepting a variable there.

Please help me to construct the select statement that is similiar to

x=<table name>
select * from x
where x is a variable and the table name gets substituted.

what is the syntax for it ?

Return Variable Name As Part Of Select Statement.

Mar 9, 2008

hey all,

I have the following query:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]

AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @article_id INT
SELECT @article_id = (
SELECT TOP 1 article_id
FROM article
ORDER BY article_id DESC
)

DECLARE @comment_count INT
SELECT @comment_count = (
SELECT COUNT(comment_id)
FROM comment
JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id
GROUP BY article_id
HAVING article_id = @article_id
)


SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id,
article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id
article_author_ip, author_display_name,
category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count

FROM article

JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id
JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id

GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id,
author_display_name, category_id, category_name

HAVING article_id = @article_id

END
GO

as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.

I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.

But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.

And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...

unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?

Cheers
