I need to do something sort of like the DESCRIBE function in MySQL. I need to return the table structure, AND the first row from each column sort of as an example of the data in each column.
then i would just need to run this query on each of my tables...
any ideas?
Hi ,
Is there a way in SQL Server stored procedure to return multiple records/ more than one records....?
Thanks in Advance...
-Mohit.
when this query is run it returns the max value for each of the activity types eg. phone calls, emails etc.
what i want to achieve is for it to return only one record. whichever is more recent. but it only has to be either a phone call or an email.
SELECT regardingobjectidname, MAX(actualend) AS Last_Contacted_On, activitytypecodename, owneridname
FROM FilteredActivityPointer AS A
WHERE (statecodename = 'completed') AND (activitytypecodename IN (@activitytypes))
GROUP BY regardingobjectidname, activitytypecodename, owneridname

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetMostRatedRecipe
(
@CurrentDate datetime
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT *
FROM Recipe
WHERE TotalRating =
(SELECT MAX(TotalRating)FROM Recipe) AND published = 1 AND ReleaseDate <= @CurrentDate AND ExpireDate > @CurrentDate
This doesn't work good when the recipe having max total rating is not published & expired. I guess I need to first filter the recipes which are published & unexpired and then select the recipe having max total rating. But I don't know how to do that. Could anyone of you please help me doing this ?
I am having problems with a SQL query.
Table has 10 fields and I need to return them all. The three most importaint, at least for the filter I need are:
id, studentid, date, canceled.
I need to return the last max(date) grater than or equal to @dateparam which is not canceled for each studentid
I have worked out some solutions but am not happy with them. Specially woried about performance when the table grows. I am expecting in full production a table growth of about 3 million records per month.
what would be grate is if there where a way of returning a the coresponding id like in:
select studentid, max(date), related(id) as ids
from tablea
where canceled=0
group by studentid
then I could do:
Select *
from tablea inner join (select studentid, max(date), related(id) as ids
from tablea a
where canceled=0
group by studentid
) b on (a.id=b.ids)
There are loads of postings on the net about this problem but none I have found explain the cause.
Whenever returning a value from a TableAdapter.Insert method followed by a SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() , the value returned is always 1. I have run the same select in SQL management studion and the correct value is returned but with a 1 showing in the column selector (just to the left of the first column. The column selector column is not data column. This must be the reason that issuing a SELECT after an INSERT does not work when using a TableAdapter isert method.
Has anyone come across the solution for this issue?
Thanks
I am storing product information in a SQL Server database table; the product information has no unique fields so I have created an Identity field called ‘uid’. Is there a way of querying the table to find out what value will be given to the next ‘uid’ field before the next record is written to the table? I need to use this as a FK in other tables.

I have a strange situation with an select. I've noticed that when I select top 100, a record is not returning from the database, but when doing top 101 the record appears on position 41.
The query is like this:
select top 100 GroupId, count(HouseId)
from House h
group by h.GroupId
order by max([DateCreated]) desc
From all discussions about top 100 vs top 101 I've noticed that everybody is saying that top 101 is using another algorithm and we can have a speed problem, but my problem is not about this. With top 100 I'm missing a record that should appear at index 41.
I have SQL query/dual sub-query in MS Access that is returning data from the left side of the query FROM correctly, but is only returning one record from the right side of the query FROM. Furthermore, it repeats the display of the one record and it repeats the entire results set with a different one record each time until all the records have been displayed. I expect that problems described as “Furthermore” will not exist by fixing the one record issue. I have tried using all the join types available in MS Access, but none change the result.
The desired output is:
Yellow Blue
11/23/201311/19/2013
11/19/210310/01/2012
10/01/210210/08/2010
10/08/201012/14/2007
The actual output is:
Yellow Blue
11/23/201311/19/2013
11/19/210311/19/2013
10/01/210211/19/2013

The same pattern is repeated 2 more times with Blue values of 10/08/2010 and then 12/14/2007.

Hi,In the process of localizing the 'regions' table, we added three newtables. The localized data will be stored in the TokenKeys andTokenValues tables. It would be easier if we did away with theTokeyKeys/TokenValues tables and just added a localeid in the regionstable, but this is the desired schema by the client. Here's theschema:Table: regionsid nameabbreviation1 United StatesUSTable: localesid locale1 en_US2 fr_CATable: TokenKeysid key1 db.regions.name2 db.regions.abbreviationTable: TokenValuesid keyid valuelocaleid1 1 Etas Unis22 2 EU2The old sql was simply this:select name, abbreviation from regionswhich returns:United States, USBut the new sql needs to link in the localized data from the tokeykeysand tokenvalues tables using the localeid... Im trying to figure outwhat the sql statement would look like to return this:Etats Unis, EU (This is supposed to be the French version)My confusion is we are trying to return multiple column values fromthe same column (TokenValues.value) and make them act as separatecolumns in the same record, like it was with the original.Thanks
View 1 Replies View Relatedi recently found a little error in a stored procedure that was included in a project handed over to me....
the sp was rather simple. it just inserted a record into a table and returned the identity and the timestamp as follows
IF @@ERROR>0
BEGIN
SELECT @int_InterventionID = 0
RETURN @@ERROR
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @int_InterventionIDReturned = MAX(InterventionID) FROM tblIntervention
SELECT @ts_TimestampReturned = [Timestamp] FROM tblIntervention WHERE InterventionID = @int_InterventionIDReturned
SELECT @int_InterventionID = @int_InterventionIDReturned, @ts_Timestamp = @ts_TimestampReturned
RETURN 0
END
i figured that it should be using @@Identity for the interventionIdentity rather than max(InterventionID)
so i changed to...
IF @@ERROR>0
BEGIN
SELECT @int_InterventionID = 0
RETURN @@ERROR
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @int_InterventionIDReturned = @@IDENTITY
SELECT @ts_TimestampReturned = [Timestamp] FROM tblIntervention WHERE InterventionID = @int_InterventionIDReturned
SELECT @int_InterventionID = @int_InterventionIDReturned, @ts_Timestamp = @ts_TimestampReturned
RETURN 0
END
it returns the @int_InterventionIDReturned but the timestamp now comes back as null??? why??
how can i ensure that i always get the timestamp of the record it has just inserted
any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,

We have an archive table which keeps each instance of a sales order that was archived under a "Verion No" field. Each time the sales order is archived it is entered into the archive tables (Sales Header Archive, Sales Line Archive). What I am trying to do is write a query to return all sales orders but only the most recent archived version.
For example this table layout is similar to what I am working with. Version No, Order No and Customer No. are the keys between the Header and Line tables, Customer Name column in the output is from only the Sales Header Archive table
SALES LINE ARCHIVE TABLE
Version No - Order No. - Customer No -----> (other columns)
1 s-5 1000
2 s-5 1000
1 s-6 2000
1 s-7 3000
2 s-7 3000
3 s-7 3000
1 s-8 4000
1 s-9 2000
2 s-9 2000
Here is what I need to output to show:
RESULTS OF JOINED TABLES
Version No - Order No - Customer No - Customer Name ---> (other columns)
2 s-5 1000 Something, Inc.
1 s-6 2000 Acme
3 s-7 3000 Company, LLC
1 s-8 4000 Blah & Associates
2 s-9 2000 Acme
It should return the last Version No of each Sales order.
Does that make sense? It is something probably easy... But, I've spent two days using multiples and multiples of different ways, that just aren't working: I'm about to dropkick my server cabinet...
Following is the query that I'm running:
create table a (id int, name varchar(10));
create table b(id int, sal int);
insert into a values(1,'John'),(1,'ken'),(2,'paul');
insert into b values(1,400),(1,500);
select *
from a
cross apply( select max(sal) as sal from b where b.id = a.id)b;
Below is the result for the same:
idname sal
1John500
1ken500
2paulNULL
Now I'm not sure why the record with ID 2 is coming using CROSS APPLY, shouldn't it be avoided in case of CROSS APPLY and only displayed when using OUTER APPLY.
One thing that I noticed was that if you remove the Aggregate function MAX then the record with ID 2 is not shown in the output. I'm running this query on SQL Server 2012.
If a Select is done on a column whose data type is nvarchar(16) and contains only numerals (UPC numbers) the select does not return the record.
1. Query with numerals in nvarchar column works as long as multiple records are returned (LIKE '012%')
2. Numeric (INT only one tested) columns works as expected
3. String columns with alpha data works as expected
4. Problem only exist when running in Device Emulator and/or actual device.
5. Same test on desktop app runs as expected.
6. Windows Mobile 6, Vista Ultimate
7. Same results when when connection to device from SSMS
8. SQL Servers comes on

Hello friends,
I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.

An example is put all together, (not sure if it is the right and efficient way)
