Hi, I'm new to SQL and was wondering if there was an easier way to filter data.
I have two tables -
The first table called Names of Companies has a column named: NAMES
NAMES
XYZ Company
ABC Limited Liability Company
ZZZ Corporation
KKK Inc.
ABC Inc.
The second table called Keywords has a column named: WORDS
WORDS
Company
Limited
I want to search for all NAMES that contain the WORDS in some form
The results should be:
NAMES
XYZ Company
ABC Limited Liability Company
Technically, I can get the results I want by manually typing into the SQL statement all the words that appear in the WORDS column.
SELECT *
FROM [Names of Companies]
WHERE [Names of Companies].Names Like "*Company*" Or ([Names of Companies].Names) Like "*limited*"));
But is there a way that I reference the table Keyword instead of typing into the query statement all the words that appear in the column WORD? I have a lot of words to search for.
HelloI have having trouble displaying some simple columns in ascending order.I know that the database is populated and I can get the more complex code to work if I display like this: SELECT FName, LName, Town, '<a href="' + url + '">' + Site + '</a>' as LinkFROM Names_DBWHERE FName = 'Tom' And url like 'http:%'ORDER BY LName ASCBut I need a simpler view but I can't get it to workI have tried this:SELECT FName, LNameFROM Names_DBORDER BY LName ASCAnd thisSELECT FName, LNameFROM Names_DBORDER BY LName ASC; And This:SELECT FName, LNameFROM Names_DBORDER BY LName 'ASC' What is wrong with this syntax?ThanksLynn
I have a query and I need to check to see if a field is occupied, i.e., it can have anything in it, i just want to see if something is there... this is what I want, but of course, anything isn't the right word here...
This is a Stored proc I am working on I dont know much about stored procs. This is what I am trying to achieve The proc takes two input parameter and returns one outparameter.
This is what I have
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetNextAction]
( @Code char(10), @Track varchar(30), @NextAction ntext output ) AS BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON; Declare @ID int; @ID = Select Sequence from [dbo].[Track] where Code=@Code; Declare @nextCode varchar; @nextCode= Select Code from [dbo].[Track] where sequence =(@ID+1); @NextAction= Select nextAction from [dbo].[CaseStage] where Code=@nextCode; return @NextAction;
END GO
I guess you can understand what I am trying in the proc but the rules and syntax are wrong. Please help me with this. Thanks
If someone can show me the correct syntax for the right side of the code below, I'd appreciate it. srcMoreInfo.InsertParameters("Address").DefaultValue = DirectCast(cuwMoreInfo.FindControl("txtAddress"), TextBox).Text
WHATS WRONG IN THIS CODE ? --------------------------------- PS: I'm getting this error: -------------------------------
Server: Msg 214, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_executesql, Line 7 Cannot convert parameter '@statement' to ntext/nchar/nvarchar data type expected by procedure.
I'm trying to create a SQL job in SQL Server and am a little unclear about the formatting.Here's a snippet from the stored procedure that creates the job:CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spArchive] @DB varchar(30), @Date DateTimeAS EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep @job_name = 'ArchiveIncentives' , @step_id = 1 , @step_name = 'ArchiveAHD' , @subsystem = 'TSQL' , @command = 'spArchiveAHD ''@Date''' , @on_success_action = 3 , @on_fail_action = 2 , @database_name = '@DB' , @retry_attempts = 1 In this case, the job will be calling this stored procedure:CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spArchiveAHD] ( @dtArchiveBefore DateTime)AS I'm unclear about these lines: @command = 'spArchiveAHD ''@Date''' @database_name = '@DB' Do they look correct to you or should I drop some/all of the apostrophes?Robert W.
I try to call the storeproc to perform task by allowing only input 6 of length. The syntax over here might not be relevant, im seeking for correct syntax. webform Dim connString2 As String = _ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("Local_LAConnectionString1").ConnectionString Using myConnection2 As New SqlConnection(connString2) Dim test01 As IntegerDim myPuzzleCmd2 As New SqlCommand("GetRandomCode", myConnection2) myPuzzleCmd2.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim retLengthParam As New SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.TinyInt, , 6) < -------- allow 6 letters in length to be input retLengthParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.InputmyPuzzleCmd2.Parameters.Add(retLengthParam) Dim retRandomCode As New SqlParameter("@RandomCode", SqlDbType.VarChar, 30) retRandomCode.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output myPuzzleCmd2.Parameters.Add(retRandomCode) TryDim reader2 As SqlDataReader = myPuzzleCmd2.ExecuteReader() myPuzzleCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery() Catch ex As Exception Response.Write("sp value : " & retRandomCode.Value) Dim iRandomCode(1) As StringReDim Preserve iRandomCode(1) iRandomCode(1) = Convert.ToString(retRandomCode.Value)myPuzzleCmd2 = Nothing Session.Remove("RandomCode") HttpContext.Current.Session("RandomCode") = iRandomCode(1) Response.Write(Session("RandomCode")) Finally myConnection2.Close() End Try End Using
This (demo) statement is fine in Access, and so far as I can see, shouldbe OK in SQL Server.But Enterprise Manager barfs at the final bracket. Can anyone helpplease?select sum(field1) as sum1, sum(field2) as sum2 from(SELECT * from test where id < 3unionSELECT * from test where id 2)In fact, I can reduce it to :-select * from(SELECT * from test)with the same effect - clearly I just need telling :-)cheers,Jim--Jima Yorkshire polymoth

I have a test page where I'm using SqlConnection and SqlCommand to update a simple database table (decrease a number). I'm trying to figure out how to make a number in the database table to decrease by 1 each time a button is being pressed. I know how to update the number by whatever I want to, but I have no idea what the correct syntax is for putting variables inside the query etc. Like "count -1" for instance. The database table is called "friday" and the one and only column is called "Tickets". Here's the code behind the button:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {SqlConnection conn; conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=***;Initial Catalog=***;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=***;Password=***"); conn.Open();int count = -1; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Tickets from friday", conn); count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();if (count > 0) { string updateString = @" update friday set Tickets = 500" ; <------ Here I want to set Tickets like "current count -1"SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(updateString); cmd2.Connection = conn; cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery(); } else { } conn.Close(); }
I am having trouble finding the correct syntax to access a variable. I have a variable defined in the Variables window: The variable name is formatedDate. The DataType is String.
I am successfully setting the value of the variable in a Execute SQL Task. The SQL is as follows:
SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, MAX(ReportDate), 120), 10) as formatedDate from DimReportDates
The Result Set is set to “Single Row” and properly set up.
No problem so far. I can see with a watch that the variable has the correct value, something like:
‘2015-09-30’
Now, in a subsequent step, a Data Flow Task, I want to access the variable. Actualy it is in the SQL statement of a OLE DB source in the Data Flow… I have the following:
Hello,I've been searching the web for quite some time to resolve the problemof "1/1/1900" returning in a datetime field in SQL that resulted from ablank (not NULL) value being passed to it through an ASP page.The solution is that a NULL value needs to passed to SQL from ASP.Thats fine...I understand the why the problem is happening and thesolution around it. HOWEVER, I can't seem to get the proper syntax towork in the ASP page. It seems no matter what I try the "1/1/1900"still results. Below are a few variations of the code that I havetried, with the key part being the first section. Does anyone have anysuggestions?!?!?______________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed")= "") ThencDateClosed = (NULL)end ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_____________________________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed") <> "") ThencDateClosed = (NULL)end ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_____________________________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed")= "") ThencDateClosed = NULLend ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_______________Thanks in advance!!!!
I'm looking for the correct syntax to pull back duplicate vendors based on 6 fields from two different tables. I want to actually see the duplicate vendor information (not just a count). I am able to pull this for one of the tables, something like below:
select * from VendTable1 a join ( select firstname, lastname from VendTable1 group by firstname, lastname having count(*) > 1 ) b on a.firstname = b.firstname and a.lastname = b.lastname
I'm running into issues when trying to add the other table with the 4 other fields.
I have this statement, sometimes the Dominator can be zero so i tried this if statement but the error i'm getting is:
An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference.(42000,147)
This is the query i'm using: SELECT DBO.THIT_RATIO_DETL.F_DIVISION_NO, Sum(Case When dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="B" OR dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD="K" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS BOUND, Sum(CASE WHEN dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD = "B" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="Q" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="L" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="K" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as QUOTE,
Sum(Case When dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="B" OR dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD="K" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)*1.0 / If(Sum(CASE WHEN dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD = "B" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="Q" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="L" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="K" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)= 0 Then 1 else Sum(CASE WHEN dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD = "B" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="Q" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="L" or dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL.STATUS_CD ="K" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) as HIT_RATIO FROM dbo.THIT_RATIO_DETL Group by dbo.thit_ratio_detl.F_DIVISION_NO
Not sure if in SQL server i can correct the problem like that, any help is greatly appriciated...
I have a page that is displaying different movie covers. They each have their respective genres stored in several keys (genre0, genre1, genre2). Now I can search within the movies by changing the url variable movies.aspx?genre=action but if I simply go to movies.aspx, I'm wanting all genres to appear. But for me, the page is blank if I don't specify the genre. So I've had to start filling in the genre All for all movies so I can go to movies.aspx?genre=all but I know this can't be necessary. Is it my SQL statement for the datasource causing the problem? Code is in VB. <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="Data Source=xxx;Initial Catalog=xxx;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Movies] WHERE [genre0] = @strGenre OR [genre1] = @strGenre OR [genre2] = @strGenre"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="strGenre" QueryStringField="genre" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
SQL Ver: 2008 (not r2) Problem: The following code returns correct results when moving variable declarations and update statement outside a stored procedure, but fails to return a value other than zero for the "COMPANY TOTAL" records. The "DEPT TOTAL" result works fine both in and outside the sp.This may have to do with handling NULL values since I was getting warning message earlier involving a value being eliminated by an aggregate function involving a NULL. I only got this message when running inside the sp, not when running standalone. I wrapped the values inside the SUM functions with an ISNULL, and now return a zero rather than NULL for the "COMPANY TOTAL" records when running inside SP.All variable values are correct when running.

I need to use IF-THEN in a SQL Select statement. Using Google I have found a couple of obscure references to this but nothing that I can use. Tried various combinations without luck. Can anyone point me to a good resource or supply a simple example of proper syntax? Thanks in advance for any help provided.
