I'm working on a query that is asking to return data on dependents which a person can have 0-many, in a single row but sep columns. The dependent data I need to include are Dep First Name, Dep Last Name, Dep Relationship.
I have a situation where I need two values (both are integers) returned from a stored procedure. (SQL 2000)
Right now, I use the statement "return @@Identity" for a single value, but there is another variable assigned in the procedure, @NewCounselingRecordID that I need to pass back to the calling class method.
I was thinking of concatenating the two values as a string and parsing them out after they are passed back to the calling method. It would look something like "21:17", with the colon character acting as a delimiter.
However, I feel this solution is kludgy. Is there a more correct way to accomplish this?
I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN (SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR (user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN (SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))
Hi, We Have Been Trying To Convert Some Pf The Procs Into Functions Of Late,but There Is A Problem :-we Have Been Unable To Return More Than 1 Table Value From A Function.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int), As Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Return End
This Works Fine :- And Gives The Reqd. Results.
But,
If I Am Using The Same Function To Return Two Tables Then It Doesn't Work,could You Pls Chk.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int),@k2 Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int) As Begin Declare @cnt Int Set @cnt = 1 While @cnt <= 2 If @cnt =1 Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Set @cnt = @cnt + 1 End If @cnt =2 Begin Insert @k2 Select @naamre,count(distinct(a.intcustomerid)) As Pura_ginti From Trcustomerpreference03july A Inner Join Cleancustomer B On A.intcustomerid = B.intcustomerid Where Chremail <> ' ' And Chremail Is Not Null And Intpreferenceid In (6,7,2,3,12,10) Set @cnt2 = @cnt2 + 1 End End Return End
Can We Return Two Tables Or Is It Not Possible ? Pls Chk Into This And Tell Me.
I have a table that contains 5 columns (VarChar); where column(0) is a unique ID. Using the unique ID I would like to get the other 4 columns return to me via a stored procedure. Is it possible to have a sproc that has one input var and 4 output?
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3. suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2 ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information. for e.g.; i was thinking to concatinate both fields like col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA and in search i use SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
I think it was Pat Phelan who posted a little trick here where he used the STUFF function to create a string fo values from a column without using a cursor.
I am starting a brand new project and I did my table design and I am awaiting a finalized requirements document to start coding and I thought I would spend a little time writing some code to autogenerate some generic one record at a time SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE stored procedures. With the coming holiday things are getting quiet around here.
The code that is not working is listed below. It does not work. It returns Null. I suck.
DECLARE @column_names varchar(8000)
SET @column_names = ''
SELECT @column_names = STUFF(@column_names,LEN(@column_names),0,C.COLUMN_ NAME + ', ') FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MyTable'
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.
CREATE PROC sp_test @id INT, @username VARCHAR(50), @prod_id INT AS
SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id
It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not. Thanks for any advice.
This is a report I'm trying to build in SQL Reporting Services. I can do it in a hacky way adding two data sets and showing two tables, but I'm sure there is a better way.
TheTable Order# Customer Status
STATUS has valid values of PROCESSED and INPROGRESS
The query I'm trying to build is Count of Processed and INProgress orders for a given Customer.
I can get them one at a time with something like this in two different datasets and showing two tables, but how do I achieve the same in one query?
Select Customer, Count (*) As Status1 FROM TheTable Where (Status = N'Shipped') Group By Customer
I'm trying to write a query which allows that multiple values from onecolumn are placed in one record.ex:tableNrLetters1A2A2B2C3A3B3C3D3E4AThe result I want to get from an select:NrAll Letters1A2A, B, C3A, B, C, D, E4AOlivier
Is there a way to insert multiple values into a single column based on various "tests". For example, I want to check a sales_order table and flag all new orders coming in against previous orders placed that were determined to be fraudulent. If I were to set up i.e. five different tests(i.e. check email, credit_card number etc. against previous fraud orders), then there would be the possibility that any given order can be flagged 1 to 5 times. I want to record all of these tests within the same column if possible. Therefore the output may look something like the following:
order_number fraud_score 1234567890 a,b,d 5432109876 e 2345678901 null 3455607983 a,b,c,d,e
I was considering adding five additional columns to the table and running five different update steps, but this doesn't appear very scalable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance- trevorb
Whats the fastest easiest way to take a select that returns say 4 values for the expression into a single column on defined row
basically I mean i want to do an update to say a persons i dunno ummm places they have traveled and I want it listed like france;usa;germany etc etc and the data would always be in the tables i pull from so I can overwrite the data each time i run it but has to take 3 or more values from a query and put them in separated by say a ; into the same persons coloumn that stores the info.
I did this once before with a cursor and adding a variable to itself with colasce or whatever the command was, but was just wondering if there is a fast way to do this by chance that im not thinking about :P.
I am not sure if I wrote the question's title appropriatly or not.....but anyways I wud try to explain the problem.
I am facing a problem solving the following task in MS Access (I believe it can surely be solved in access or SQL server).I am posting a sample table format here for reference and also postin the expected result table there-after.
The problem goes like this.(Read Carefully)
I have a table which contains a payment history with one row per account (each account number is unique) and related payment history for each account.
where Dt is date and P1/2/3/... is payment.There cud be 1 or more than 1 payments in a particular month as shown.
The original file has more than 200 columns for the payment i.e till Dt200,P200
I need to see aggregated monthly payment history for all accounts. i.e. a table for all accounts with related payments for each month (its OK if a day vary in particular month...consolidation shud be monthly) starting from the earliest to the latest possible.
I hope I have tried to explain the problem in as much detail as possible.
Please help me with your valuable solutions to the above task ASAP.If u want i can also send in as attachment the original file i am workin at to ur email id
I joined these two tables and it pulled up the proper amount of records. If you check out the image you will see what the results are for this query.
Now all I need for this part would be to roll these up where I have one row per ProgramID and all the AttributeNames' together in a AttributeNames column for each id.
EXAMPLE: All in one row.
ProgramID | AttributeNames 887 | Studydesign, Control Groups, Primary Outcomes.
I have attached an image of the SQL VIEW that I need to modified so it does this.
THE QUERY:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.tblProgramAttributes.ProgramID, dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID AS PAattributeID, dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeID, dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeName FROM dbo.tblProgramAttributes INNER JOIN dbo.tblAttributes ON dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID = dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeID WHERE (dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID NOT LIKE '%ProgramType%') ORDER BY dbo.tblProgramAttributes.ProgramID DESC
Suppose that I have a table with following values Table1 Col1 Col2 Col3 ----------------------------------------------------------- P3456 C935876 T675 P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is: CombinedValues(ColumnName) ---------------------------------------------- P3456 - C935876 - T675 P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-' So is there any way to achieve this?
I want to produce some output for Mainframe application. For that I want to insert values from multiple table as source to a single column (huge in size)of a different table (Destination table). There may be same related records in all of the source tables with the primary key. When I export values from the source tables , each related records should be insterted to the destination table's field (multiple entries for each table). Please advise.
in my table i ve the column of item code which contains '1000' ,'2000' ,'3000' series i jus wanna display the output of item codes '1000','2000'series and some of ('3000019','3000020','3000077','3000078').
i tried in my join query
these code left(itemcode,4) in ('1000','2000') or itemcode in ('3000019','3000020','3000077','3000078')
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
Hello all. I hope someone can offer me some help. I'm trying to construct a SQL statement that will be run on a Dataset that I have. The trick is that there are many conditions that can apply. I'll describe my situation:
I have about 1700 records in a datatable titled "AISC_Shapes_Table" with 49 columns. What I would like to do is allow the user of my VB application to 'create' a custom query (i.e. advanced search). For now, I'll just discuss two columns; The Section Label titled "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" and the Weight column "W". The data appears in the following manner:
(AISC_Shapes_Table)
AISC_MANUAL_LABEL W W44x300 300 W42x200 200 (and so on) WT22x150 150 WT21x100 100
(and so on) MT12.5x12.4 12.4 MT12x10 10 (etc.)
I have a listbox which users can select MULTIPLE "Manual Labels" or shapes. They then select a property (W for weight, in this case) and a limitation (greater than a value, less than a value, or between two values). From all this, I create a custom Query string or filter to apply to my BindingSource.Filter method. However I have to use the % wildcard to deal with exceptions. If the user only wants W shapes, I use "...LIKE 'W%'" and "...NOT LIKE 'WT%" to be sure to select ONLY W shapes and no WT's. The problems arises, however, when the user wants multiple shapes in general. If I want to select all the "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" values with W <= 40, I can't do it. An example of a statement I tried to use to select WT% Labels and MT% labels with weight (W)<=100 is:
Code SnippetSELECT AISC_MANUAL_LABEL, W FROM AISC_Shape_Table WHERE (W <= 100) AND ((AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'MT%') AND (AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'WT%'))
It returns a NULL value to me, which i know is NOT because no such values exist. So, I further investigated and tried to use a subquery seeing if IN, ANY, or ALL would work, but to no avail. Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I know that if I can get an example of ONE of them to work, then I'll easily be able to apply it to all of my cases. Otherwise, am I just going about this the hard way or is it even possible? Please, ANY suggestions will help. Thank you in advance.
I am writing a query and have the bulk of it already written.
I am looking at a table that contains customer orders. There is a column named Customer_Order.Status Available values for this column is R, F, H, and C.
I'd like for my query to return all lines that have the value R, F, H.
My where clause is written like this
WHERE CUSTOMER_ORDER.SITE_ID = 'XXX' AND CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS = ('R','H','F')
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
I have a table #vert where I have value column. This data needs to be updated into two channel columns in #hori table based on channel number in #vert table.
CREATE TABLE #Vert (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL TINYINT, VALUE TINYINT) INSERT #Vert Values('ABC', 1, 22),('ABC', 2, 32),('BBC', 1, 12),('BBC', 2, 23),('CAB', 1, 33),('CAB', 2, 44) -- COMBINATION OF FILTER AND CHANNEL IS UNIQUE CREATE TABLE #Hori (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL1 TINYINT, CHANNEL2 TINYINT) INSERT #Hori Values ('ABC', NULL, NULL),('BBC', NULL, NULL),('CAB', NULL, NULL) -- FILTER IS UNIQUE IN #HORI TABLE
One way to achieve this is to write two update statements. After update, the output you see is my desired output
UPDATE H SET CHANNEL1= VALUE FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER WHERE V.CHANNEL=1 -- updates only channel1 UPDATE H SET CHANNEL2= VALUE FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER WHERE V.CHANNEL=2 -- updates only channel2 SELECT * FROM #Hori -- this is desired output
my channels number grows in #vert table like 1,2,3,4...and so Channel3, Channel4....so on in #hori table. So I cannot keep writing too many update statements. One other way is to pivot #vert table and do single update into #hori table.
We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B red - pen red - pencil red - highlighter blue - marker blue - pencil green - pen green - highlighter red - pen blue - pencil blue - highlighter blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
red blue green pen 2 0 1 marker 0 1 0 pencil 1 3 0 highlighter 1 1 1
We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
