SQL Server 2012 :: Eliminating Quotations From Columns When Running A Query?
Mar 10, 2014
I'm using SQL 2012 express.. and just recently learned how to code.
I wrote a query and keep receiving this error...
Error converting data type varchar to float.
here's the query code
SELECT SUM(cast(lc as float))
FROM [dbo].[LaborCosts]
WHERE ppty = 'ga'
AND PL = 'allctd ktchn expns'
AND ACCT like 'payroll%'
I am trying to sum up the values in column LC, and realized I have unnecessary quotations marks. How can I eliminate the quotations from the column, and only query the numerical values?

Table A has day to day transactions, Table B has beginning balance. I'd like to get a running total balance day to day. Really what I want to do is use the previous days total to add the current days transaction to, but I don't know how to do it. The basic layout is below, but as you can see, I'm not getting the totals correct.
create table #current(acctNum int,
dates date,
transtype char(10),
amt INT
)
insert into #current(acctNum, dates, transtype, amt)
[Code] .....

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 currently have data stored in a temporary table and I would like to transpose the data into a better format. I would like for the query to be dynamic since one of the tables currently has over 500 columns.
The attached file provides an example of the table structure along with sample data. Below the first set of data is the desired final format.

Need to eliminate certain records from my query. The below is a simple query to illustrate my problem
My Query
Select RequestNo,Event_type from Event_log where Event_type in (10,20)
Data
RequestNo Event_type
123456 10
123457 10
123457 20
123458 10
123459 10
123459 20
This above query returns all requests that meets atleast one criteria. How do i edit my query such that i get requests that meet both criteria and the result set looks like below
Data
RequestNo Event_type
123457 10
123457 20
123459 10
123459 20

Hello,
I'm trying to eliminate the duplicate 'URL' rows in the query:
SELECT
ni.[Id],
ni.[Abstract],
ni.[MostPopular],
ni.[URL]
FROM dbo.[NewsCategory] nc WITH (READUNCOMMITTED)
INNER JOIN dbo.[NewsItem] ni WITH (READUNCOMMITTED)
ON nc.[Id] = ni.NewsCategoryId
WHERE
--nc.[ProviderId] = @ProviderId
--AND
ni.[URL] in (
select DISTINCT URL
from dbo.NewsItem
where mostpopular = 1
-- OR mostemailed = 1
)
ORDER BY ni.[DateStamp] DESC
If you look at this line in the query :
select DISTINCT URL
from dbo.NewsItem
where mostpopular = 1
IF i run this query alone it will return 8 unique rows. I expect that the SELECT IN statemnet would help return a distinct set but it doesn't. This entire query returns like 20 rows with duplicate rows.
The reason why I can't do a distinct in the first set of columns is because the column ni.[Abstract] is TEXT and it says that data type is NOT COMPARABLE.
Thanks so much.

We have a customer that is running SQL2012 and we are seeing a weird result on a query when we run it on their db. It is based off of a table that has about 30 columns but in this case we only care about 2 of them.
[Number] [varchar](15) NOT NULL
[Person_ID] [varchar](12) NULL
Here is the query we are doing:
Select Number,Person_ID From TableName where LP='ABC123'
The result I get back is the following:
Number:1
Person_ID:13864
The Person_ID should be a result of another table that created that Person_ID but it doesn't exist in that table. So we do not know where that 13864 is coming from. When we open that record through our application it shows Nothing for the Person_ID in that field.
When we do this query on our copy we get back
Number:1
Person_ID:
Which is exactly what we should see as the result.
Could there be a sql server setting that is set on their server that could possibly be given us back 13864 for a NULL value?

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
SELECT pk, SUM(pk) OVER (ORDER BY pk )
FROM @Tbl

I have an UPDATE statement that joins two table by SendId. One table, I'll call it T1, has a clustered index on SendId ASC. The other table I will call T2 also has a clustered index on SendID ASC. All the columns from T2 are used to update T1. The execution plan shows a Clustered index scan on T2 and a Clustered Index Seek on T1 going into a Nested Loops inner join. Immediately following is a Distinct Sort that is done on SendId ASC. Why the Distinct SORT if the tables are already ordered by SendID?

get the desired results for the following sample data set. I was able to come up with a query that returns the the expected results however only for a given day, so I'd need to union several select statements the get the desired results which is definitely not ideal. I'd like to pass a parameter in (number of days) instead of doing a unions for each select.
DECLARE @T TABLE (Id INT, Category VARCHAR(1), [Date] DATE)
INSERT INTO @T
SELECT 1 AS Id, 'A' AS Category, '2015-5-13' AS ActivationDate UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 'A', NULL UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 'A', '2015-5-13' UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 'A', NULL UNION ALL

I have come up with an issue where I want to update data in a table using bulk/SET update to get the result shown in below code with output in column titled "Arrear Amt".
Please use this test data.
CREATE TABLE ##vOD_Calc
(
Seq_No INT ,
Contract_id INT ,
Rental_id INT ,
Actual_OD INT ,
Logic_OD INT ,
Due_dte DATETIME ,
[Code] .....
Logic required is that once the sum of column [ArrearAmt] of current row and all previous rows becomes greater than $100 then column [ChArrrearAmt] should show that summed up value and in else case the column [ChArrrearAmt] should show the same value as that of column [ArrearAmt].
Once the column [ChArrrearAmt] reaches the threshold of $100 then the same cycle should start again i.e. in above example rental#1 had $37.17 < $100 then rental#1 + rental#2 is also < $100 and at rental#3 sum of rental#1, rental#2 and rental#3 becomes $111.51 which is greater than $100 so its updated in column [CHArrrearAmt]. The same cycle start overs from rental#4 onwards however the summation of [ArrearAmt] will now begin after rental#4 onwards and not from the starting.
Below is the loop based SQL script which handles the above situation, however in BULK its a total deterioration of performance if thousands of rows are to be processed i.e. with a contract having multiple rentals.
The case here is that I have to use the result of previously updated column value of [ChArrrearAmt] to take decision for the next row, however with BULK update since the row is not yet updated with latest amount therefore the decision on next row is also giving wrong result.
This is the code with which I have achieved to update the column 'chArrear Amount', however its a loop based solution and performance killer.
INSERT INTO ##vOD_Calc_loop
( Rows_count ,
contract_id
)
SELECT COUNT(*) ,
T.Contract_id
FROM ##vOD_Calc T
GROUP BY T.Contract_id
[Code] ....

I have stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_Create_Fact_Job (@startDate date, @endDate date) AS
/*--Debug--*/
--DECLARE @startDate date
--DECLARE @endDate date
--SET @startDate = '01 APR 2014'
--SET @endDate = '02 APR 2014'
;
/*-- end of Debug*/
WITH CTE_one AS ( blah blah blah)
SELECT a whole bunch of fields from the joined tables and CTEs...When I run the code inside the stored procedure by Declaring and setting the start and enddates manually the code runs in 4 minutes (missing some indexes ).When I call the stored procedure with the ExEC
DECLARE@return_value int
EXEC@return_value = [ClaimCenter].[usp_Create_Fact_Job]
@startDate = '01 apr 2014',
@endDate = '01 apr 2014'
SELECT'Return Value' = @return_value
It never returns a results set but doesn't error out either. I have left it for 40 minutes and still no joy.The sproc is reasonably complicated; 6 CTEs to find the most recent version of records and some 2 joins to parent tables (parent and grandparent), 3 joins to child tables (child, grandchild and great grandchild) and 3 joins to lookup views each of which self references a table to filter for last version of a record.

I want to create the following scenario. I have a table that stores employees working on projects and their project hours by week, but now I also need a running total per week for each of those projects. For example take a look below:
EmployeeID, Project, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,....Saturday, ProjectHours, TotalProjectHoursPerWeek(this is the column I am trying to derive), FiscalWeek
101, ProjectABC, 5,5,5,...5, 20, 40,25
102, ProjectXYZ 4,4,4,....4, 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.

I am creating a query that shows the consumption of stock against Manf Orders (M/O) and struggling on the last hurdle. I am having difficulties calculating a running total based on an Opening Balance. The first line returns the correct results but the following lines do not. I have tried other variants of the "Over Partition" but still no joy?
SELECT CASE WHEN ROWNUMBER > 1 THEN ''
ELSE A.Component
END AS Component ,
CASE WHEN ROWNUMBER > 1 THEN ''

I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.
If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.
If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

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).

But Is there any way to encrypt all the records of all the columns of a table in a database? actually I need to encrypt the database. Someone .... thinks that when someone will write select query he will get the encrypted records. As per as I am concerned it is not possible. I can encrypt the specific column using symmetric or other keys...
Is there any software or any tool which will provide encrypted records of database?

I am planning to add some new columns to an existing sql server 2012 table. I know that I need to use the alter statement to accomplish this goal. However my questions is the location of where I want to add the new columns to the table. It would make more sense to add the new columns to the middle of the table since these columns have a similar meaning as other columns in the middle of the table.
However is it better to add these new columns at the end of the table? I am asking this question since I am thinking I might need some sql to move the values of existing columns and values around?
Thus is it better to add new columns to a table in the middle of the table, at the end of the table, or at the end of the table? If so, why one location is better than another location?
