I have 2 requests for desperate Hélio..
1) is there any way to run a query over a query without having to create a table with the results of the first query? (would drop table work? If so, how?
2) how can i define input variables the same way i do in excel? I am trying to run a couple of simulations based on 2 core inputs (in excel i would just do a data table)
I would like to setup a query where the user is firstly prompted to input the information e.g. if they are trying to locate a particular person from a telephone database they would be prompted to enter the surname for that person.

I have a long query with an input parameter. I want this input parameter be all teh values returned from another query.
SELECT DIR FROM DIRECCAO
BIG QUERY with DIR input parameter.
How can I do?
Thanks.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.

If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Hi,
I am new to ASP.NET so pordon me if my questions seems to be stupid.
I was given an assign to develop a ASP that would return results from a SQL server.
The problem is that part of my query to the SQL server comes from the webform
select a.invnum, a.invdate, a.duedate, a.invamt,a.payamt from vpshead a inner join vendors
b on (a.vendnum = b.vendnum) where (a.vendnum = " & user.text & " ) and (b.vendpass = "
& Pass.text & " ) and (a.payflag <> 'V') and ( (a.invamt <> 0) or (a.payamt <> 0) )and (a.chkno = '') order by a.invdate"
As your can tell I am using the user.text and Pass.text in my query which will come from the web form.
I know this is wrong but how else can I do it?
Thanks
This SQL query has been haunting me for the last couple days. If someone would point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I have two tables:
Tasks_new
Task_ID WBS Total_task_Hours
23 CE.1234 500
24 CE.1234 1000
25 CE.1234 400
26 CE.1000 550
27 CE.1000 600
28 CE.1252 1000
29 CE.1555 1000
Entry_Data
Task_ID Hours_input
23 50
24 60
27 50
28 100
Finished_product
WBS Total_task_Hours Hours_input Total_hrs_ remaining
CE.1234 1900 110 1790
CE.1000 1150 50 1100
CE.1252 1000 100 900
CE.1555 1000 Null 1000
The Entry_data table is the table that the user input his or her data into and may or may not include ALL Task_id's from the Tasks_new table.
I am ultimately looking roll up the total hours input against the wbs column in the entry_data table against the total wbs hours in the Tasks_new Table.
If I was unclear, please let me know. Its probably simple to do but sometimes you just get stuck in the ruts.
I m new to SQL Server. Before this I was using access. In access one can have user inputs easily .. for example
where receivedate=[enter date]
how I can get userinputs in SQL server Query....
Forgive me if it is a dumb question
Hi folks, i am lookin for an option in the QA to take user input while executing a query. just like we do in SQLPLUS:
SELECT * FROM dept WHERE deptno=$abc
here it would ask me for the deptno. I guess it's a very handy feature and we could test our variables and calculations withing the procedures etc.
Is there a way, or any substitute?
Howdy!
I am trying to use a Execute SQL task in which I call a query and get back a scalar value. I THINK I have it set up correctly, yet I am getting a very unhelpful error message of:
Error: 0xC002F210 at Determine Previous Trade Date, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "SELECT[Supporting].[dbo].[fGetOffsetTradeDate](?, -1) AS [PreviousTradeDate]" failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The Parameter Mapping has a single INPUT entry of data type DATE mapped to parameter 0.
The Result Set property (in General) is set to Single Row and there is a single entry in the Result Set config which maps [PreviousTradeDate] to a variable.
Odd thing is, if I replace the ? in the query with a date (say '03/24/2006') everything works fine. This would indicate that my query syntax is fine.
Hello Everybody,
I am sure this has been asked a thousand times before in a thousand different ways, but here goes...
I am in need of the ability to prompt users for a From Date and To Date to insert into a WHERE clause in SQL queries. What is the easiest least painful way of accomplishing this? A great many of our customers utilized SQL Server Express or MSDE, so they do not have the full gambit of SQL tools handy. Believe me when I say that I have searched high and low across the internet for this solution. I was hoping I might be able to accomplish this through VB Script or J Script. Or, anything reasonable.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience,

Hello All,
I am new to MS SQL Server 2000. I come from a Unix/Oracle/sqlplus environment. I am having problems in my where clause when comparing an ActiveX user input date to a date from the database. Or, I think that's what my problem stems from. I have a DTS package that pulls info from a table to an Excel speadsheet. I added an ActiveX input box under Workflow Properties to prompt the user for a date. I want to pass this date into the query on the where clause to pull only those rows where the updatedate = the input date. The DTS package executes just fine but it doesn't select any rows. Can someone tell me what I'm missing. I have tried inputting the date several different ways in combination with different convert/case in the where clause. Thanks in advance for any guidance......wisa64
My ActiveX script is:
Function Main()
dim tamdate
tamdate = inputbox("Enter Date")
Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask
End Function
My Query is:
select consumerid, servicedatefrom, updatedate
from tbl_cs_sv_service
where convert(char(10),updatedate,101) = ?
P.S. I have a Global Variable setup under Package Properties called tamdate of type string. And, I have a parameter setup under Transform Data Task Properties called tamdate.
I'm bothered by an issue of updating a column in input dataset from a update query. It looks like SSIS has a very poor function on this.
Example, I have an input dataset of name, salary, dept_no, and I have another table called departments which has fields of dept_no, Dept_name, basic_salary
now I want to update salary column in input dataset with basic_salary if it's salary is smaller than the basic_salary.
update #tmp set salary = basic_salary where #tmp.salary <departments.basic_salary and #tmp.dept_no = departments.dept_no
how could I impletement this in SSIS package?
I tried with lookup, modify scripts by enabling memory restriction. It doesn't say any error when I save the package, but I never get pass debug.
HELP!!
Hi,
There is one manual process done by my friend. The process is " In query analyser, she runs a sql query and the resultset of Sql query, she copies and pastes into a excel workbook".
I wanted to write a SSIS package to automate it and providing a UI, in which she can give connection details and paste the SQL query and the package will in turn generate excel workbook in the target path". I thought of trying ExecuteSQL task, but the output resultset of ExecuteSQL task cannot be mapped dynamically to excel source(correct me if I am wrong). If I use Dataflow task, then also whether dynamic mapping of SQL output to Excel destination input is possible?
Can you please tell me the best approach for achieving the above functionality?
Thanks,

I have a very newbie question...I'm trying to figure out how to get a script on this site (specifically sp_Create_MyDB_Backup_Job.sql) to work.
The author says it needs input parameters:
@DatabaseName , @BackupLocation,@FileName,@JobName
I'm trying to figure out how to get this to work with osql...do I need to hardwire the variables...like @databasename = "master" ?
Hi,
Excuse me for the 'noobish' question but it seems in my mining models, i am 'loosing' input variables. I am using the Microsoft Decision Tree algorithm and eventhough i have set 4 variables as 'input' and all 4 of them are in my mining structure, the model is using only 3. That 4th variable is also missing from the dependency network graph. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Hi,I'm new to SQL Server, but an experienced .Net developer. I'm tryingto accomplish a query the most efficient way possible. My question isif you can define a temporary variable within a query to store tablesor fields. (Like the LET clause of LINQ) My query makes use ofsubqueries which filter my table (WHEREs, not SELECTs) in the sameexact way. I'd like to have a subquery at the beginning of my queryto filter the table(s) once, and then SELECT off it of later in thequery.Here is an (utterly poor) example. No, this is not from my project.My filter is a little more complex than 'c=@p'.('c' is a column/field, 't' is a table', '@p' is a parameter)SELECT *FROM (SELECT COUNT(c) FROM t WHERE c=@p GROUP BY c)CROSS JOIN (SELECT c FROM t WHERE c=@p)Bottom line, would something like the following be possible?@v = (SELECT c FROM t WHERE a=@p)SELECT *FROM (SELECT COUNT(c) FROM @v GROUP BY c)CROSS JOIN (SELECT c FROM @v)I'd like to know if this is possible within a query, but I can move toa Stored Procedure if I must. (I'll still need help then.)Thank you all

The only solution I can think oflooks pretty bad to me. I would use a cursor, run each row at atime, store a TRUE, FALSE value to stop processing or not andstore the result in another detail table. Then if all ANDquestions have ended with TRUE do a union of all the result andreturn the common list of employees. It sounds pretty awful as anapproach.

If so I'll definitely buy the book.I appreciate any help you can provide.Thank you

Can anybody tell me the perfomance difference for 2 sql statements below:
select count(*) from products where prodID between 20987 and 21003
go
declare @ProdID1 int
declare @prodID2 int
set @ProdID1 = 20987
set @prodID2 = 21003
select count(*) from products where prodID between @ProdID1 and @prodID2
First statement takes 1 second to execute and second statement takes more than one minute. I don't understand what is the problem with using variables.
Thanks

Hi,
I want to convert a SQL query as shown below into a stored procedure:
select name
from namelist
where town in ('A','B','D')
If I want to make the town as the input variable into the stored procedure, how should I declare the stored procedure? As far as I know, stored procedure could only handle individual values, and not a range of values.
Thanks.
Hi I'm a n00b at ASP.Net and C# but the company I work for requires me to know this and develop their website using these languages.
Anyway I've been doing pretty good so far I got the page looking as it should etc and databases all set up, now I've hit my first real problem... I am using Visual Studio 2005 and in the Web Developer section. I want to make a SELECT query using the <asp:LoginName> control as the where clause.
e.g. if admin logs in there is a welcome message : Welcome Admin now I want to use the 'Admin' <asp:LoginName> as the SELECT in my query i.e. SELECT * FROM tbla WHERE ([fldCustomerCode] = 'LoginName' )
I was just really wondering if that is in the .aspx file or the aspx.cs code behind file?
Thanks for any help given
I’ve reconfigured Microsoft’s IBS Store shopping cart to function within a small e-commerce website. What I am trying to do is to modify the code slightly in order to use a third party credit card processing center. The situation is this: once the customer clicks the final "check out" button, a stored procedure writes all of the product ordering information into the database. I, then, capture what they're wanting to purchase with the following SQL statement:
Dim strSQL as String = "Select orderID, modelNumber from orderDetails" & _
"where CustomerID = " & User.Identity.Name & _
"And orderid = (SELECT MAX(orderid)FROM orderDetails" & _
"where CustomerID = " & User.Identity.Name & ")"
What I would like to do is assign specific values to variables based off of the above query. For example:
Dim orderItem as String = (all of the modelNumbers from the query)
Dim orderIdItem as String = (all of the orderIDs from the query)
How do I do this?? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to set a local variable from the results of a query or stored procedure.
For example, I have a stored procedure or a select statement that returns 1 row, with columns "a" "b" "c" "d"
I want to set my variable to be the value in column "b"
Is there a way to do that? I'm new to tsql, so any code would help.
I tried this, but I know my syntax is messed up
declare @myvar as integer
set @myvar = (execute mystoredProcedure).b
thanks

Hi,
I have a SSIS package with a Sequence which Contains a Webservice Task, in the input section of this task i want to pass a User Variable as Parameter for my webmethod. but it doesn´t work, it allways sends the variable definition as string "@[User::Filename]". so i searched Microsoft Technet how to pass User Variables in Webservice Tasks and found this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187617.aspx
which says :
"
Variable
Select the check boxes to use variables to provide inputs. "
but there is no such checkbox on the input page of my Webservice Task... there is just the Value column which i can edit... but as mentioned before when i try to set the value to a variable it doesn work
i tried the following strings in the value column:
@[User::Filename]
@Filename
User::Filename
@User::Filename
any ideas?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to insert a
variable into a query using Visual Studio 2005 with the SqlDataSource
control. I cant seem to be able to enter a var into the query
parameters.
this is my SqlDataSource:

WHERE UserName=@UserName ORDER BY tblDiaryEntries.EntryDate DESC"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE [tblDiaryEntries] SET [DiaryEntry] = @DiaryEntry,
[EntryDate] = @EntryDate, [Subject] = @Subject WHERE [DiaryEntryID] =
@DiaryEntryID" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO tblDiaryEntries(UserID,
EntryDate, Subject, DiaryEntry) VALUES (@UserId, GETDATE(), @Subject,

What I want to do is to tell the SqlDataSource that @UserName = this.User.Identity.Name, but I only know how to do that in
code-behind, not sure how to insert it into the code above.Any ideas?

Hi all,
If I have a query string that is to be stored in a database, for example
Code:
SELECT prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc FROM products WHERE prod_id = 'variable'

Is there an appropriate way of doing this in MS SQL Server?
