Hi,
I am developing a search engine for my application and I need to grab the entire row from the table if I found the search field in any of the columns and the search is not defined to one table. Please let me know how to search all columns in table without using column names indivdually.
Dear GroupThe scaenario is as follows:FirstName and LastName are separate columns in the contact table and Iwant to be able to search e.g. for the FirstName and part of theLastName at the same time e.g. 'John A' should return 'John Adams'.Would be grateful if you can give me some hint as I don't seem to getit work.SELECT FirstName, Lastname FROM i2b_contact WHERE (SELECT Firstname +Lastname AS CName) LIKE 'John A%'Thanks very much for your help and efforts!Martin

Is it possible to search dynamically in table columns without using dynamic SQL (i.e. EXEC or sp_executesql)?
I wanna exec FREETEXT(<column_name>, @searchPhrase) by giving columns' names as paramater to stored proc. Is it possible to avoid using dynamic SQL?
Thanks in advance
I am new to database programming and was curious how others solve theproblem of storing encrypted in data in db table columns and thensubsequently searching for these records.The particular problem that I am facing is in dealing with (privacy)critical information like credit-card #s and SSNs or business criticalinformation like sales opportunity size or revenue in the database. Therequirement is that this data be stored encrypted (and not in theclear). Just limiting access to tables with this data isn't sufficient.Does any database provide native facilities to store specific columns asencrypted data ? The other option I have is to use something like RC4 toencrypt the data before storing them in the database.However, the subsequent problem is how do I search/sort on these columns? Its not a big deal if I have a few hundred records; I couldpotentially retrieve all the records, decrypt the specific fields andthen do in process searches/sorts. But what happens when I have (say) amillion records - I really don't want to suck in all that data and workon it but instead use the native db search/sort capabilities.Any suggestions and past experiences would be greatly appreciated.much thanks,~s
View 10 Replies View RelatedI admit I am a novice to queries and stored procedures but understand stored procedures are more secure, so I am choosing to challenge myself with a stored procedure and have not been successful at all.
What I am looking for is a stored procedure which would query the single table named Hospital, which would search from a single textbox the end user would enter the text they are searching for on a Windows VB application but is dependant on a few end user selected items.
1. The end user can select a radio button either "Starts with" or "Contains"
2. The end user can select from 6 checkboxes (Hospitals, Address, City, State, Zip, Type) to limit or expand their search from the columns in the table.
The table has 17columns (CO, PARENTCO, ADDR, POBox, CITY, State, ZIP, TEL, FAX, WEBSITE, HOSP_TYPE, OWNERSHIP, BEDS, CONTACT, TITLE, Email) but I am only allowing the end user to search by the above 6 columns and need to display the above 6 columns plus the phone, fax and website columns.
After the user clicks the search button it displays the results in a listbox and the user will then select the one they want and it displays the information in another set of textboxes.
Hopefully someone can get me pointed in the right direction! Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Can you search a column of a database table to find all the rows that have a wor in it?
example: I have a row that contains 'adventure st north', there are other columns in that table that are suppose to be the same but read 'adventure street N.' or 'adventure st. N.' or 'North Adventure st.'
could I search for rows that contain 'adventure' in the column searched (lets call it columnA). I tried:
select * from tbl_test where columnA LIKE 'adventure' and got no results.
what is the way to do this?
Thank-you,
Eric

Hello... I'm real new with SQL Server Express and I need to do the following.
I have two tables...

Hi there, newbie here.
I'm building a web application that allows for tagging of items, using ASP.NET 2.0, C# and SQL Server.
I have my USERS, ITEMS and TAGS separated out into three tables, with an intersection table to connect them.
Imagine a user has found an item they are interested in and is about to tag it. They type their tag into a textbox and hit Enter.
Here's what I want to do:
I want to search the TagText column in my TAGS table, to see if the chosen tag is already in the table. If it is, the existing entry will be used in the new relationship the user is creating. Thus I avoid inserting a duplicate value in this column and save space. If the value is not already in the column, a new entry will be created.
Here's where I'm up to:
I can type a tag into a textbox and then feed it to a query, which returns any matches to a GridView control.
Now I'm stuck... I imagine I have to use "if else" scenario, but I'm unsure of the code I'll have to use. I also think that maybe ADO.NET could help me here, but I have not yet delved into this. Can anyone give me a few pointers to help me along?
Cheers!
Hello all,
I am using the ContainsTable function to search a database from my (c#) app. This works relatively well and all fields of the table are indexed and searched. That is, any column, but per record only one column.
What I mean is this: when searching for "chris 2007", I want to retrieve all items where author contains chris and year contains 2007. Currently, a search for chris brings up all items where author (or any other field) contains chris, a search for 2007 works as well, but chris 2007 fails as there is no -one- field where chris and 2007 are located.
Can anybody help me achieve this? My code is:
Code Block
SELECT FT_TBL.ID, FT_TBL.Type, FT_TBL.Author, IsNull(FT_TBL.Author, FT_TBL.Editor + ' (Ed.)') AS CorrectedAuthor, FT_TBL.Editor, FT_TBL.Title, FT_TBL.Abstract, FT_TBL.Comments, FT_TBL.Year, FT_TBL.City, FT_TBL.Publisher, FT_TBL.ISBN, FT_TBL.Pages, FT_TBL.Journal, FT_TBL.Issue, FT_TBL.Hyperlink, FT_TBL.Tags, KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Sources AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Sources, *, @searchQuery) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]

What am I doing wrong?

I have a DB named zCIFRecord with a column named CIFUpdateDate which is of datatype varchar. The data is a date MM/DD/YYYY 01/30/2008, this is al that is in this column. I can search this colum for individual dates and for a range of dates. My problem is with a range of dates that is not within the same year, such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '12/01/2007' and '01/30/2008'
will return nothing because it seems to only search on the 12 then the 01 then the 2008. this search can be performed properly on dates within the same year such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '01/01/2008' and '01/30/2008'
will return the proper values because now all the numbers are in correct order. How can i create a search that lets me perform the first query as well as the second query. I tried to convert to a float but you cant convert a varchar to a float.
Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

2 1 Annual 1 10
3 1 Sick 2 10
4 2 Sick 2 10
5 2 Sick 2 10
I have the above table (LeaveEntitlement) which has the above columns.
What I want to sum the column NumberOfDays based on EmployeeID, LeaveType and PeriodID columns as of LeaveTypeNumberOfDays.
For example sum(NumberOfDays) where PeriodID=1 and EmployeeID=1 and LeaveType=Annual
The result should be shown in new column name AnnualLeave (20)
sum(NumberOfDays) where PeriodID=1 and EmployeeID=1 and LeaveType=Sick
The result should be shown in new column name SickLeave (10)
Same all leave Types
The table should be shown as the below after executing the query
LeaveEntitlementID PeriodID EmployeeID AnnualLeave SickLeave
1 1 1 20 0
2 1 2 0 10
3 2 2 0 20
is it possible in sql server

Problem is I get only one field. I get only the first one.i.e. "Members Awaiting Apporval Yesterday"
I dont get other two types.."Members Accepted Yesterday" and "Members Rejected Yesterday".
Final report should look like this:
Type NoOfMembersJoined
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 69
Members Accepted Yesterday 15
Members Rejected Yesterday 31
But I get only the "Members Awaiting Approval yesterday" for all the rows.
Type NoOfMembersJoined
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 0
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 0
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 0
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 0
Members Awaiting Approval yesterday 0
NoOfMembersJoined = 0 is ok because there may not be any data yet.
I can not figure it out why it is. Pease can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

Hi,
I have a tabel called "Daily" which has 5 columns, "TesterID", "Activity", "Hours Given", "Hours Used", "Delta".
The data for "TesterID" and "Hours Given" columns are taken from a table called "Tester".
Data for columns "Activity" and "Hours Used" taken from table called ALD.
"Delta" column is the difference between Hours Given and Hours Used.
For "Hours Given" in table "Daily", the data source should change every 12 hours.
For Monday-Friday Mornings, "Hours Given" should read data from "Tester.Weekdays_day" and for Monday-Friday Nights it should read data from "Tester.Weekdays_Night" and for Saturday-Sunday Mornings it should read from "Tester.Weekend_Day" and for Saturday-Sunday Nights it should read from "Tester.Weekdays_Night" .
How to do that? Please Help. Thank you.

Hey ya'll...
I need to create a query that I can run that will allow me to essentially take the first initial and last name and combine them from two columns in one table and update one column with that new data in another table. Example of need:
UPDATE tblLogin.UserName with (first character(tblEmployee.FName)+(tblEmployee.LName)) WHERE tblLogin.EmployeeID = tblEmployee.EmployeeID.
That was TOTALLY pseudo code and I know I'll need a join statement in there somewhere. Both tables reside on the same database, such as this:
dbEMPLOYEE (Database)--> tblLogin (Table)----> UserName (Column)--> tblEmployee (Table)----> FName (Column)----> LName (Column)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Hopefully something soon - this was handed to me a few minutes ago and I have a few minutes to get it done.iSheahan
I like to push 1 column into 2 different columns just to show it on the screen. So no import in another table ore something like that.

My first ASP.NET/SQL project. I'm creating an Asset Management DB. I wish to view the Asset number, the full name of the user it's assigned to and the Make and Model of each record in the DB. However assets are split into different categories e.g. monitors, PCs, Preinters etc. and they are all in different tables. The SQL below displays the asset number, Name of person assigned and the model of the asset.
SELECT Hardware.AssetNo, [User].FullName, MonitorModel.Model, PCModel.Model AS Expr1, PrinterModel.Model AS Expr2
FROM Hardware INNER JOIN
[User] ON Hardware.UserID = [User].UserID INNER JOIN
Model ON Hardware.ModelID = Model.ModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
MonitorModel ON Model.MonitorModelID = MonitorModel.MonitorModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
PCModel ON Model.PCModelID = PCModel.PCModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
PrinterModel ON Model.PrinterModelID = PrinterModel.PrinterModelID
This outputs:-
Asset number FullName Model Expr1 Expr2
00000 User Name Model NULL NULL
00001 User Name NULL Model NULL
00002 User Name NULL NULL Model
However what i hope to acheive is output Model, Expr1, Expr2 into one column like so:-
Asset number FullName Model
00000 User Name Model
Can i do this in the SQL or do i have to do it in my ASP.NET (VB) Page?
