Retrieving Only 50 Chars From Detail Table Of Comments
Jan 25, 2012
I have a detail table of comments. I need to grab the fist 50 characters from the comment field from this table. The kick is that I need to get the comments from all of the records in the detail table, as the comments might be less than 50 characters, so i need to pull the comments from the other comment records that apply to the master table record.
right now i have the comments in a join to the master table, but this is causing a few records to be returned....
I guess what i am looking for is a way to grab the comment value from the first record of the detail table.
Hi everyone. I've taken a while off of developing site in ASP.net but had a site that I wanted to upgrade a little, but needed a little help.What I have currently is a website of a person with videos and images of that person. To view the videos, I have a "view_video.aspx?ID=" page that plays the video from YouTube by looking my database for the ID, YouTube URL, Name, and Description. What I want to do is create a "comments" table for visitors to add comments for each video and then display all comments on the page.So far, my "comments" table looks like this. ID, otherID, name, email, comment, type, date.The ID is the id of the comment, otherID is the foreign key to the "videos" table, the name is the name of the person leaving the comment, e-mail is for the person, comment is the text, type is the type of video (tutorial, sampler, random video), and date is a timestamp for when users leave the comment.So hopefully I have a good start. I don't have any code to show right at the moment for I am at work, but if anyone has any ideas or critiques so far, I'd love to hear them. This is an interesting project for my friend and I'd love to implement this sometime.Thanks,TetrisSmalls
I am working on a project that lets visitors to my webpage post comments. I have there name, city, etc. stored into an sql database. This all works until I put text into the comments field of my form. I get this message when it is trying execute -- String or binary data would be truncated. I was wondering what data type to use, I have used char and varchar and neither one is working. Is there anything else I could try to fix this.
I receive the error " [OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.
I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.
The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.
I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.
Can someone please advise?
PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?
I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.
I have a table with almost a million rows, although it's quite slim with just ID, date, userID, JobID etc.
Now I want to the ability to add comments to some (probably less than 1%) of those lines.
The question is whether to create a separate comments table to join to it, or to create a comments field within the existing table? The comments field would obviously default to NULL, so wouldn't bloat the table unnecessarily if I add that field (right?), and would always be selected with the row from that table, so I'm leaning towards the latter alternative.
I am listing detail transaction lines in a table sorted by account and order number. the problem is that I only want to see the detail if the sum of a value field is zero for all the transactions in an order otherwise ignore the detail for that order.
I was trying Group by and Having but this doesn't seem to do what I need.
Being relatively new to Reporting services, any nudge in the right direction would be useful.
I need to strip some puntcuation from any field in a given table.I'd rather like to avoid using the replace () for each field in thetable.Anyone have a nifty way do this?Is there a special name that I can use in the replace that means theentire row?(other than syntax, something like REPLACE(@ROW,CHAR(39),'') )tiaRob
HiI've two tablesTableAidnameTableBidtableA_iddescoperAs you can see tableA is a master and tableB is a detail table wherewe can have many records for each related tableA record.I need to get all records for tableA with a count on some oper oftableB.I suppose I can got it with a join or a subselect but I don't use SQLoften so I'm getting crazy with this stupid query...Could somebody help ?Thanks in advanceC
I have a bar chart that displays the detail of a table with locations along the x-axis and number of employees on the y-axis. Is there any way to have the sum of all of the locations show as the final bar in the chart? (which would be the footer in the table)
Does anyone know how to query a field in a table where it contains anASCII code >= 128 - without looping through every field for everyrecord in table (using charindex)?Ex of char I would like to find: ü which is char(252)
I have a table in SQL Server 2000 which has few triggers. When I try to update a record in that table, I get following message:
Warning: The table '[TABLE_NAME]' has been created but its maximum row size (17275) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.
where the data I am updating is well less than the field limit. The triggers are stored in syscomments table and when I dropped these triggers, the update statements were executed without this message. Is there anyway I can change the data type of field text in syscomments from nvarchar to ntext?
I need to know the best approach to save data in master table and then in detail table. I know this method but i know it's not a good approach why i will explain
Insertion in Master Table..................................... A
Insertion in Detail Table........................................B
Now if there is any exception occurred while step A then the step B will not take place which is ok but if there is exception while step B then the process A will have completed i.e the data in master table will be Inserted/Deleted/Updated but there will not be a corresponding action in Detail table which is not good approach.
So please can any one tell me a good approach for this.
I have state, day_date, error, and text column. If there is data then it is showing all the columns. But if there is no comments I would like to show no comments in the text field. Currently I have this store procedure.

I have a 2 main tables in my system. One is main table has ticket information location and so on. And detail table which hold all actions on that record with multiple money fields (its around 5 fields). it goes trough some crazy calculations on the detail table and get 5 results for each ticket. And this calculation is done everytime the ticket is looked at. There is around 10 detail records per 1 main record. and the main table is around 7 mil. records
Now i got 2 options. I can create a trigger that does the calculation and update the main table show the results from there. This is going to affect all updates deletes and inserts.
OR
I can leave as it is so only when they view the ticket it does the calculation. Dont ask me how often they view it i dont have a clue.( if there is any suggestion how to get the count i could try to do it. ) :confused: Suggestions
(My attitude is going towards the trigger way but 100 percent sure)

I am trying to tweak some code which is used to display the newest comments left on photos created by my members.
The existing code is this:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
So the latest comment left was for photo #210879 from user "Cla" (redacted user names). The 2nd newest comment would be for photo #211072 from a member named "mo". pdate is a date field
However for the script I have coded I don't want all of the photo comments to show up. This is because I use access levels based on the type of location (higher levels mean more restricted galleries). I check the access levels as I go through the recordsets.
I use this method to get the top 15 comments:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
Now I have to use two other tables to determine the access level. Since PHOTOCOMMENTS is just a list of photo #'s and the people who left comments for those photos, I need to:
a) determine what location the photo is from and b) determine the access level of that location
I use: select creator,access from locations where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
This is a two step process as you can see. The first part is:
select dir from photos where id=(pnumber)
ID is the same value as pnumber seen in PHOTOCOMMENTS. That is to say PHOTOS.ID = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER
If I haven't confused you yet, the executed code for the first example would be:
select dir from photos where id=210879
which would get me a value for DIR. DIR is the location number which would be:
select creator,access from locations where id=(dir value)
Just to simplify it a bit....
There are three tables (shown below)
PHOTOCOMMENTS PHOTOS LOCATIONS
I need to: SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC (first table shown)
but then also
select creator,access from locations (The last table shown) where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
So the first table PHOTOCOMMENTS has to also join PHOTOS table where PHOTOS.DIR = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER in order to get the value of "DIR" and then DIR is joined to the LOCATIONS tables where PHOTOS.DIR = LOCATIONS.ID
Here is the actual code, which I am trying to make into a single SQL command
strSQL = "SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC" set ors = oconn.Execute(strSQL) tl = 0 do until ors.eof or tl > 15 ' until we have 15 results because not every recordset will be of the proper security level
[Code] ....
Bonus points if you can also get it to select from LOCATIONS only WHERE userlevel >= 2
now i want to learn how to make a stored procedure to insert a record to `purchase` table, and many records to `purchase_detail` table with transaction where the some value are passed from vb6 through the parameters. i've made a SP to insert 1 record to `purchase` table n 1 record to `purchase_detail` just for testing, so i set the disc value to 10. it works fine... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREATE PROCEDURE `usp_save_purchase`(xpurch_id VARCHAR(10), xpurch_date VARCHAR(10), xsupp_id VARCHAR(10), xitem_id VARCHAR(10), xqty TINYINT(3), xprice DOUBLE(15,2)) BEGIN START TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO purchase(purch_id,purch_date,supplier_id) VALUES(xpurch_id, xpurch_date, xsupplier_id); INSERT INTO purchase_detail(purch_id,item_id,qty,price,disc) VALUES(xpurch_id, xitem_id, xqty, xprice, 10); COMMIT; END --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what i need is something like that but i only pass 3 variables (purch_id, purch_date, and supp_id) to SP, and then the SP will insert 1 record of purchase to `purchase` table, and add the purchase items to `purchase_detail` automatically from `purch_temp` table, and use the disc rate based on `supplier_id` and `item_id` from supplier_disc table, which will be looked something like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREATE PROCEDURE `usp_save_purchase`(xpurch_id VARCHAR(10), xpurch_date VARCHAR(10), xsupp_id VARCHAR(10)) BEGIN START TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO purchase(purch_id,purch_date,supplier_id) VALUES(xpurch_id, xpurch_date, xsupplier_id); /*start looping here get the disc rate for each items where supp_id = xsupplier_id and item_id = the item_id from purch_temp table, and save it in a local variable (let's say local_disc) INSERT INTO purchase_detail(purch_id,item_id,qty,price,disc) VALUES(xpurch_id, xitem_id, xqty, xprice, local_disc); */ COMMIT; END --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- can anyone help me please? thank you in advance...
I have a flat file with header and detail information, it is actually employee punch card data. I need to parse the header line which contains the Employee ID and don't save it to a table just save the value. Then with the detail line, parse the different data elements and save them along with the employee ID to one table. Then continue until the next header line is read.
So I think I need a data flow transformation object that let's me save the Employee ID into a variable available when the next record is read. What type of transformation would be best?
The CUSTOMERS table holds the record date span into which the FLAGS table records have to "fit". In no case will the date spans from the FLAGS table fall outside the STARTDATE - ENDDATE span in the CUSTOMERS table for any CUSTOMERNBR. Here is an example of the final expected output in the DHS table from combining records in the CUSTOMERS and FLAGS tables:
date item_id grade in out ------------- --------------- ------- -------- ---------- 01-01-08 001 A 10 0 02-01-08 001 O 8 0 01-02-08 002 O 1 0 03-01-08 001 T 0 10 02-01-08 003 O 20 0 02-01-08 003 T 0 10 02-01-08 003 B 0 8
Result View =======
Item_id A B O T Total
001 10 0 8 -10 8 002 0 0 1 0 1 003 0 8 20 -10 18
where grade could be any Alphabet, the column of result query could varies each grade contain sum of (in-out) of all item_id of detail table.
I'm new to SQL and need help with a query. Not sure if this is the right place.
I have 2 tables, one MASTER and one DETAIL.
The MASTER table has a masterID, name and the DETAIL table has a detailID, masterID, and value columns.
I want to return a populated MASTER table with entries based on the DETAIL.value.
SELECT MASTER.* FROM MASTER WHERE DETAIL.value > 3
This is a simplified version of my problem. I can't figure out how to set the relationship between MASTER.masterID and DETAIL.masterID. If I do an INNER JOIN, the number of results are based on the number of DETAIL entries. I only want one entry per MASTER entry.
I have nine type of buttons, EnrollAmtBTM PlacAmtBTM and so on, I also have a SQL setver view V_Payment_Amount_List from here i need to display the data on the button this is the select value to display when i choose the agency list and the amount corresponding to that agency_ID is displayed here the agency_ID is fetched from the SQL CONDITION THIS IS WHERE I GET FETCH AGENCY DATA WHEN SELECTED i.e SQL CONDITIONprotected void CollectAgencyInformation() { WebLibraryClass ConnectionFinanceDB;ConnectionFinanceDB = new WebLibraryClass(); string SQLCONDITION = "";string RUN_SQLCONDITION = ""; SessionValues ValueSelected = null;int CollectionCount = 0;if (Session[Session_UserSPersonalData] == null) {ValueSelected = new SessionValues(); Session.Add(Session_UserSPersonalData, ValueSelected); } else { ValueSelected = (SessionValues)(Session[Session_UserSPersonalData]); }ProcPaymBTM.Visible = false;PaymenLstBTN.Visible = false; Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex = 0;TreeNode SelectedNode = new TreeNode(); SelectedNode = AgencyTree.SelectedNode; SelectedAgency = SelectedNode.Value.ToString(); Agencytxt.Text = SelectedAgency; Agencytxt2.Text = SelectedAgency; Agencytxt3.Text = SelectedAgency;DbDataReader CollectingDataSelected = null; try {CollectingDataSelected = ConnectionFinanceDB.CollectedFinaceData("SELECT DISTINCT AGENCY_ID FROM dbo.AIMS_AGENCY where Program = '" + SelectedAgency + "'"); } catch { }DataTable TableSet = new DataTable(); TableSet.Load(CollectingDataSelected, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges);int IndexingValues = 0;foreach (DataRow DataCollectedRow in TableSet.Rows) {if (IndexingValues == 0) {SQLCONDITION = "where (Project_ID = '" + DataCollectedRow["AGENCY_ID"].ToString().Trim() + "'"; } else {SQLCONDITION = SQLCONDITION + " OR Project_ID = '" + DataCollectedRow["AGENCY_ID"].ToString().Trim() + "'"; } IndexingValues += 1; }SQLCONDITION = SQLCONDITION + ")"; ConnectionFinanceDB.DisconnectToDatabase();if (Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex == 0) { Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex += 1; } else { Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex = 0; } SelectedAgency = SQLCONDITION; ValueSelected.CONDITION = SelectedAgency;
