SQL Server 2012 :: Where Clause On Multiple Columns?
May 16, 2014
Right now I have to do something like this and it is time consuming every time I have to query a specific table...
SELECT lots_of_columns
FROM table
WHERE (column5 = '1' OR column6 = '1' OR column7 = '1' OR column8 = '1' OR column9 = '1' OR column10 = '1' OR column11 = '1' OR column12 = '1')
AND other_query_critiera_here
Typing out the OR statement gets long, time consuming and prone to errors because that first where line with all the ORs can sometimes have 20+ ORs in it. As some insight, the columns are text columns, sometimes they have data, sometimes they are NULL. Sometimes they have the same data (i.e., column5 and column6 and column12 could both have '1' as values).

I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table
CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1](
[BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?

I want to know if it is possible to do the following;
I have patients that may have been transferred to different locations(see below)
location_name enter_time
4D04 2/9/15 2:35
4D14 2/9/15 8:44
RECOVERY 3 2/9/15 9:08
4D13 2/9/15 17:36
4D14 2/10/15 2:02
i know i can do a min max to get my first and last values. I want to label the columns something like
1st location, 2nd location, 3rd location, 4th location, discharge location.
there could be 1 location or 20.
is there a way to do this?
i can do a temporary table and then an update query to add the values to those columns.
just not sure how to get the next value and then the next etc.

I am trying to pivot table DYNAMICALLY but couldn't get the desired result .
Here is the code to create a table
create table Report
(
deck char(3),
Jib_in float,
rev int,
rev_insight int,
jib_out float,
[Code] .....
Code written so far. this pivots the column deck and jib_in into rows but thats it only TWO ROWS i.e the one i put inside aggregate function under PIVOT function and one i put inside QUOTENAME()
DECLARE @columns NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @columns = N'';
SELECT @columns += N', p.' + QUOTENAME(deck)
FROM (SELECT p.deck FROM dbo.report AS p
GROUP BY p.deck) AS x;
[Code] ....
I need all the columns to be pivoted and show on the pivoted table. I am very new at dynamic pivot. I tried so many ways to add other columns but no avail!!

How do I write a query using the split function for the following requirement.I have a table in the following way
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1,2,3 200,300,400 3,4,6
2 Test2 3,4,5 300,455,600 2,3,8
I want an output in the following format
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1 200 3
1 Test1 2 300 4
1 Test1 3 400 6
2 Test2 3 300 2
2 Test2 4 455 3
2 Test2 5 600 8
If you see the data, first element in col1 is matched to first element in col2 and 3 after splitting the string.

Hi,
I would like to know how i can handle multiple columns returned by a subquery via IN clause in case of sql server 2005. I can do that in oracle by using the following statement:
DELETE FROM TEST1
WHERE (ID, ID1) NOT IN (SELECT ID,ID1 FROM TEST2);
Thanks and Regards

I'm fairly new to SQL and am just setting up a Windows 8 app using an Azure SQL server. The issue I have is looking up a part number supersession and getting the latest number. One part number can have multiple supersessions (ie RTC5756 > STC8572 > STC3765 > STC9150 > STC9191 > SFP500160 ).The data I am supplied monthly has both the superseeded items and the supersession information in both columns and is not easy to decipher - for example:
Supersessions Table
----------------------
RTC5756 | STC9191
SFP500160 | STC9191
STC9191 | STC2951
STC3765 | STC9191
STC8572 | STC9191
STC9150 | STC9191
[code]...
The newest part number is kept in a separate table - called "source" - which in this instance is SFP500160. I need access to the latest part number but also to the part's previous numbers, due to the fact that some people may still be stocking them as an old part number and for them to search by. Is there an easy and efficient way of doing both a lookup for the supersessions and a join on the two tables to minimize the queries on the database?

Usually it is better to include the columns in the index that are in where clause, select list and join.I am thinking that the columns in the selected list is better to keep as index columns and the columns that are in the where clause is better to keep in key columns.Where do we use join column is it better to create as main key column or included column.

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.

I have 4 tables involved here. The priority table is TABLE1:
NAMEID TRANDATE TRANAMT RMPROPID TOTBAL
000001235 04/14/2014 335 A0A00 605
000001234 04/14/2014 243 A0A01 243
000001236 04/14/2014 425 A0A02 500
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
TABLE2
NAMEID TRANDATE TRANAMT RMPROPID CHGCODE OPENAMT
000001234 04/01/2014 400 A0A01 ARC 0
000001234 04/05/2014 -142 A0A01 ARC 228
000001234 04/10/2014 15 A0A01 ALT 15
[code]...
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.

I used following query to identify missing indexes:
SELECT mid.statement , mid.included_columns, mid.equality_columns, mid.inequality_columns,
migs.avg_total_user_cost * (migs.avg_user_impact / 100.0) * (migs.user_seeks + migs.user_scans) AS improvement_measure,
'CREATE INDEX [NCIX_' + CONVERT (varchar, mig.index_group_handle) + '_' + CONVERT (varchar, mid.index_handle)
+ '_' + LEFT (PARSENAME(mid.statement, 1), 32) + ']'
+ ' ON ' + mid.statement
[Code] ....
I think I need to only create few if an index is covering all columns then I do not need to create more indexes for separate columns or should I create separate index as suggested?
Similarly:
CREATE INDEX [NCIX_20187_20186_TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transact] ON [TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transaction] ([SerialNo],[StationaryStatus]) GO
CREATE INDEX [NCIX_20189_20188_TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transact] ON [TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transaction] ([StationaryStatus]) INCLUDE ([SerialNo]) GO
[Code] ....
Should I create all indexes above or use minimum number of indexes which covers all columns as mentioned in above create index statements?

Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?
USE MyTestDB;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.FactTemp' ,'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.FactTemp;
[Code] ....
I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.

The first select is running fine but due to extra values added to the table the list of manual difined columns must be added manualy each time new values occur.
Is it possible to make the PIVOT's IN clause dynamicly as stated in the second script (it is based on the same table #source) when running it prompts the next error;

From MS Dynamics NAV 2013 I get a lot of querries that have a where clause like this:
where [Field1] like @p1 and [Field1] < @p2.
Field1 is the only primary key field and clustered index. The query also has a TOP 50 clause.
@p1 is always a "Starts-With"-value (something like N'abc%').
The query plan uses a clustered index seek but the number of reads look more like a clustered index scan.
Depending on the table size I see 1M or more reads for these querries.
If I rebuild the query in SSMS, but replace the paramerters with actual values I only see a few reads.
I was able to reproduce the issue with a temp table. See code below.
Is there a way to make SQL Server use another strategy when using the parameterized query?
SQL Server Version is 11.0.3401.
if object_id('tempdb..#tbl') is not null
drop table #tbl;
create table #tbl
(
[No] nvarchar(20)
,[Description1] nvarchar(250)

I would like to be able to combine the functionality of IN and LIKE in a WHERE clause. Although the simple AdventureWorks2012 example below illustrates the concept with 3 search criteria, the real-world example I need to apply the concept to has a couple dozen. This returns 50 rows, but requires multiple OR ... LIKE functions:
SELECT DISTINCT c.Name
FROM Sales.Store c
WHERE c.Name LIKE '% sports %'
OR c.Name LIKE '% exercise %'
OR c.Name LIKE '%toy%'
What I would like to do is something like this, which doesn't work:
SELECT DISTINCT c.Name
FROM Sales.Store c
WHERE c.Name IN(LIKE '% sports %', LIKE '% exercise %', LIKE '%toy%')
I could load up a cursor and loop through it, but the syntax is more cumbersome than the multiple LIKE statements, not to mention most SQL programmers are horrified at the mention of the abominable word 'cursor' for performance reasons.

A while back, a "quirky update" method was proposed for lightning fast running totals based on the three-part MSSQL UPDATE's SET statement and tally tables. However, some claimed this was not 100% absolutely guaranteed behavior.
How does the new OVER clause compare in terms of performance ?
DECLARE @Tbl TABLE
(
pk int not null primary key identity,
N int
)
INSERT INTO @Tbl (N) SELECT TOP 1000 1 FROM syscolumns a CROSS JOIN syscolumns b

but when executing , it gives this error - Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 169 Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
i am not able to use convert here with these quotes.

but it makes it to -
AND CD.CaptureDate = Jul 19 2014 12:00AM. I would need the date in quotes.

Because of the way in which a specific piece of code is written, I'm bound into using a WHERE clause for a report generation.Each Inspection generates a unique Inspection Number. Any re-inspection created from that inspection is assigned that Inspection Number and appended with ".A", ".B", ".C" and so on.
The problem is this: Each row's Primary Key is the "InspectionId" in "dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports". I need to return not only the data related to that particular InspectionId, but also the data related to any previous related inspection. For example, if I have a main number of CCS-2012 and three re-inspections, CCS-2012.A, CCS-2012.B and CCS-2012.C, and I report on CCS-2012.B, I need all the data for CCS-2012, CCS-2012.A and CCS-2012.B but NOT CCS-2012.C.
I would prefer to not have to do everything in a WHERE statement, but my hands are a bit tied.
The "SELECT * FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports WHERE . . ." is already hardcoded (don't ask).
SELECT *
FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports
WHERE ( RefOnly = 0
OR RefOnly IS NULL

I'm looking at various methods for deleting duplicate rows. Among the alternatives, one works just fine but gives me results that make me go?.
Consider this script:
declare @t table (a int, b int, c int, d int, e int)
insert into @t (a, b, c, d, e) values
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
(3, 4, 2, 3, 4),
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
select a,b,c,d,e, rn = row_number() over (
partition by a,b,c,d,e
[Code] ....
The code works -- that is, the duplicate row is deleted. However the output clause returns:
abcdern
123451
So....why? Why does the output clause show that the row with rn=1 was deleted, when the where clause stipulates rn > 1?

How I am using a CASE statement within a WHERE clause to filter data:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetSomeStuff
@filter1 varchar(100) = '',
@filter2 varchar(100) = ''
AS
BEGIN
SELECT
[Code] .
What I want, is to be able to pass in a single value to filter the table, or if I pass in (at the moment a blank) for no filter to be applied to the table.
Is this a good way to accomplish that, or is there a better way? Also, down the line I'm probably going to want to have multiple filter items for a single filter, what would be the best way to implement that?

the code below works (this is only a quick dumbed down version of the actual code, it might not work 100% for all cases). Is it at all possible to exploit the functions that were added to SSQL since v. 2005 to simplify this code ?
In SSRS, a parameter allows the user to create a list of invoices (from CRM) to be ordered in any of the following ways the user prefers:
'Document Date (most recent date first)'
'Document Number (highest number first)'
'Document Date (most recent first) and Number'
'Document Number (lowest number first)'
The invoices have a (supposedly) sequential identity-generated number. However Accounting may want to set a different date than the creation date on some invoices. So there is no way the invoice numbers will be in the same sequence as the invoice dates.
So I just created the "sorting fields" - they appear as junk in the output dataset (just do not drop them in the SSRS tablix - they have to be part of the SELECT statement to be usable in the ORDER BY clause.
The code is:
DECLARE @ls_OrderBy varchar(80)
--'Document Number (highest number first)'
--'Customer and Document Date (most recent date first)'
--'Customer and Document Number (highest number first)'
--'Document Date (most recent first) and Number'

101, ProjectABC, 5,5,5,...5, 20, 40,25

103,ProjectQWE, 2,2,2,...2, 8, 32,26
104, ProjectPOP, 6,6,6,...6, 24, 32,26
What I have tried so far:
Correlated Subquery:
SELECT EmployeeID,Project, Sunday, Monday,....Saturday, ProjectHours, SELECT(SUM(ProjectHours) FROM dbo.TableABC ap GROUP BY FiscalWeek),
FROM
dbo.TableABC a
I got this to work one time before, but now I am getting the following error:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
