Displaying Extra Characters With COLUMN-defined Number Format?
Jul 20, 2005Here'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

Unable To Retrieve Data When Using Greek Characters In Statement
Apr 26, 2007Hi,I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content isin Greek, however, thequery is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missingsomething.Here is the table...if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE] ([XL_REPORT_ID] [int] NULL ,[TEXT_NAME] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[LOCALE] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThe first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content ofthe Text_Name column and pasteit into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statementreturns no data.SELECT * FROM Report_LocaleSELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – ΤÏ?.-Î*Ï?ουπ.-Διαφ.'Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into aquery. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this doesnot work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doingthings in English so I need to understand the differences. We've donethis for various other languages using other character sets, which iswhy I am puzzled.Any pointers ?ThanksRyan

Unlimited Number Of Characters In A Field
Feb 4, 2005Hello,
I am developing a message board using ASP on IIS and SQL Server 2000, and I am running into a problem.
When a user enters their post, they enter their user name, subject, and of course all of their post content. Now the post content should be an unlimited number of characters since it could end up being multiple paragraphs.
I know I could just use an ASP file system object and write the text to a file, but I wanted to save all of these paragraphs as a field in a database table so I could pull it from the database so it could be edited by the user.
Is there a way to make a field be able to take in an unlimited amount of characters?
Or is this the wrong way to do things; is it bad to have an unlimited amount of characters in a table field? Should I stick to using the ASP System File Object?

How To: Retrieve A Limited Number Of Records From A Record Set
Apr 24, 2008I€™m working on a database project that will ultimately contain millions of records for each lot. In addition, each lot will have up to 96 corresponding serial number records.
I would like to add a SQL parameter that would tell the database engine to only return X number of records.
For Example:
If table TBL_LOTS contains one million records I would like to limit the return set to 100 for example.
What would I need to add to the SQL command to below to restrict the data set to the first 100 records in the set of one million?

FROM TBL_LOTS
WHERE [STATMENTS]

How To Handle Invisible Characters On An Account Number
Dec 6, 2007
I am joining on table A AND Table B ON the accountnumber field. The accountnumber on the tblB has some invisble characters at the end, ie "12344 ". The Table A does not have these invisble chars and is "12344".
Due to the extra spaces at the end, the join fails and does not find a match for that acctno. I have used ltrim(rtrim) hoping that will elimante the extra spaces and find a match.
Heres my qry:
select * from Tbla a
inner join tblb B
on ltrim(rtrim(ACCTNO))=ltrim(rtrim(ACCT))
How do I do this, so that it finds a match and returns the acctno.

Transact SQL :: Retrieve Latest Record Of Serial Number With Multiple Entries
Sep 30, 2015I work for an organization that repairs serialized devices. Each time a device is repaired it's serial number is recorded in a database table along with the date it was repaired along with other information about the device. There are multiple cases where a unit has been repaired more than once.
I am trying to write a query that will return the serial only once and that record will be the record of the latest repair date. To sum it up,
Return a list of serials where if a serial exists more than once in the table, return only the instance of the serial record(s) with the max(created_dt). The end result will be a list of distinct serial numbers.
Here is my Query. The problem I believe is in my sub-query but I am not sure how to structure it.
SELECT

Truncate Characters In A Column
Jan 26, 2006I recieve data where I am comparing zip codes from raw data, to a zip code table. The columns I am matching are in integers.
The issue is that in the raw data, sometimes the zip code is extended to more than the 5 characters in the zip code table so I am getting null value returns
A sample of this is in the raw data is:
Zipcode
54303
54304786
78641
Is there a way I can have it compare only the first 5 digits of the zip codes in the raw data zip code column to the zip code table? Or would I have to convert the data type? Or alter or truncate the characters somehow? If so, please include how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Retrieve All Rows With Largest Value In A Particular Column?
Jul 18, 2012I am trying to retrieve all rows with the largest value in a particular column. The largest value could return many rows for a particular users. Here is what I have thus far.
SELECT DISTINCT
ID, NAME, FOP, ACCT, CTNUM, ENDDATE, DEBIT, CREDIT, TRANSACTION_DATE, EXPORTED, CALENDAR_YEAR, FISCAL_YEAR, PAYROLL_IDENTIFIER,
PAYROLL_NUMBER, [EARN-SEQNO], EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
FROM (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID, ACCT, PAYROLL_NUMBER,EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
ORDER BY EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER DESC) AS RN
FROM PAYROLLYEAREND ) s
WHERE RN = 1 AND ID = '16443' AND PAYROLL_NUMBER ='7'
In the above example, the EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is populated with values from 0 to 12. Could vary per user and PAYROLL_NUMBER. The query above returns 48 rows. However, all I want are the rows where EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is equal to the highest, which is in the above example is 12. The result would be 29 rows. The where clause is not part of overall query. Just isolating on one ID.
