Hello all, thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
I'm familiar with the Top command but I need something else to help in a project I'm working on.
I would like to select rows 1 through 100000 from a specific table in one query then 100001 through 200000 in a second query and 200001 through 300000 in a third and so on until I have gone through all rows. There happens to be 424000 in the table I'm working on.
Hi all, I have a query similar to this: select "bcp databasename.."+name+" from sysobjects where type = 'U' order by name
What I need to know is that, I need to unselect some of the tables that starts with name cj_. I don't want the tables that starts with a name cj_. Can someone help me on this. Thank you
For some reason this is just not "clicking" with me and the longer I stare at it the more I overcomplicate things and then I just confuse myself further...
Provided this relation showing where "pkey" and "skey" met on "ServiceDate":
I need to select out a list of distinct pkeys and skeys only when there was no meeting between the two in November 2005. In other words, this query would produce only one record - the starred record - when run against this sample table. This is because even though, for example, skey 124 / pkey 2 has an entry outside the desired range, it also has one inside the desired range. The same goes for the record outside our range for 123 and 2 - it also has a record inside our range.
At this point, I've come to the conclusion that I can first select all the distinct pkeys and skeys where the servicedate is not in 11/2005 then join it to a selection of distinct pkeys and skeys where the servicedate IS in the desired date range. Does that seem like the most straightforward way through this?
I don't get the impression that this is that complicated a problem, but it's one of those deals where I goofed up somewhere along the line, and now I think I'm really overthinking the problem, so I'd be much obliged if someone could give me a hearty slap to clear the ol' noggin.
I want to run a query that returns say 100 records...but I only want to return first 10 for first page on a web page, then on page 2 the webpage will return rows 11 to 20 of the same SQL statement...page 3 returns rows 21 to 30 rows etc....(eg. like Google or bulletin boards, browsing auctions in ebay etc.).
I could probably get my application logic to handle this (ASP.net), for instance I could possibly get a datareader to skip the first 10, output the next 10 then stop for page 2 (records between 11 amnd 20) but is there way to do this in SQL Server at the database level using an SQL Statement?
I can use TOP 10 to get the first set of records for the first page eg.
SELECT TOP 10* FROM Suppliers
...but how do I get between 11 and 20, 21 and 30 and so on?
I've already mentioned I could handle this in my application logic, but then each time the same SQL Statement is fetching all 100 records, even though the web page will only display a certain range. I'm building an intranet website that can potentially run queries that return 100'000s records, even though initially only top 20 or so records are display, each page they subsequently go to will rerun that same query that returns all 100'000 records. So handling this as part of the query would be better for performancr I reckon.
I'm trying to construct code that will return the last non-NULL value in a column containing daily records.
For E.G. I want to know what the LAST value of Description field when it is not NULL, AND the Date is within the range t=1 to t=5 => i.e. "Dog" in the below example:
Hi all,Right now I have this SELECT statement:SELECT MUSIC_PK, MUSIC_TITLE, MUSIC_TITLE2, MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER Now I want to add a second SELECT statement (same as above, but with an additional column) if the record was added within the 10 days (while still select other records, I just need to select an additional column). How would I do that? The additional column that I want to select is called MUSIC_NEW (so I can display if the record is new within 10 days.) I have a column in my table named DATE_ADDED, how do I go to calculate if it's within the 10 days since the day it was added to the current time?Thank you very much,Kenny.
I'm running a pre-defined script which used to work fine on a file which was resupplied every month. below is the script used and the error message. looking at the error I assume that there is a rouge record within the file but have looked in Textpad and cannot find it.
UPDATE [matching].[dbo].[hot_nov] SET [AOV] = (CAST([Demand] AS DECIMAL)/CAST([Orders] AS INT)) WHERE [Demand] <> '';
UPDATE [matching].[dbo].[hot_nov] SET [POST2] = left([PostCode], PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [PostCode] + '1') - 1) ; UPDATE [matching].[dbo].[hot_nov] SET [POST4] = left([PostCode],LEN([PostCode])-4); UPDATE [matching].[dbo].[hot_nov] SET [POST6] = left([PostCode],LEN([PostCode])-2);
error message
(1000 row(s) affected) Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 181 Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '2014-09-03 00:00:00' to data type int.
Data(id int, product_id int, property_id int, value float)
Data.id references Headers.id
Headers.id is a primary key, Data has clustered index (id, product_id, property_id)
Headers has several thousand rows, Data several million. I want to return all rows from Data for a given product_id and a given property_id such that Header.id is in a given range.
Right now I am doing
SELECT id, time, value FROM Headers H, Data D WHERE H.id = D.id AND H.time >= @StartTime AND H.time <= @EndTime AND D.product_id = @ProductID AND d.property_id = @PropertyID
This query can take 10+ seconds to run, though once I run it for a given product_id, queries for different values of property_id are much faster. Try a different product_id, and it takes longer. Given that there are millions of records in Data, is it reasonable for it to take this long? The index was suggested by Query Analyzer's Index Tuning Wizard, and I tried a couple variations on the query without any noticeable performance improvement. But, I'm no DBA...anyone have any tips? I googled a bit but couldn't figure out the right way to phrase my question to find any good info...thanks in advance
When im using the below query im getting the output, but when i change the starting date to 2006 I'm not getting the data for 2007 though it falls between the 2006 and 2008 range...
select * From dbname..tbl where date>= '03/jan/2007' and date <= '11/feb/2008' and Status= 'C' and ID is not null
AND (ACCOUNT = '25869' or ACCOUNT = '0' + '25869' ) Check and post your comments ASAP...
I've got an OLEDB DB2 linked server to a db2/AS400 instance and selecting from a table on the server has never caused problems before. One of the columns is a large text field. If I select all the columns but the large text field, it returns as normal, but including the large text field now, I get:
"Transport error: shared memory provider error: 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe"
The largest entry in the text field is about 5k characters, and there don't appear to be any strange characters.
In the typical Job Cost Reporting world you can easily create SQL Views / Stored Procedures (or create a report) that can return both Job To Date values along with period values for another date range. Something like this:
Job, Phase of Work, Cost Type, UM, Budgeted Cost, Budgeted Quantity, Period Cost, Period Quantity, Period Unit Cost, JTD Cost, JTD Quanity, JTD Unit Cost, Variance between JTD and Period Cost, Variance between JTD and Period Quantity, Variance between JTD and Period Unit Cost
But in the tabular BI world I am not certain how to have these values show up in a pivot table or BI visualization. My current Fact table is essentially every job cost transaction so it is at the most granular level holding Company, Job, Phase of Work, UM, Cost Type, Date, Budget Cost, Budget Quantity, Actual Cost, Actual Quantity. The Budget values only have a value if the entry was updating the budget and the Actual values hold actual cost for each transaction. If you don't restrict by date you have your Budgeted Quantity / Cost and Job To date Cost / Quantity.
I can generate a Pivot table or chart and not restrict by date and I can get all the Budget Totals and the Job To Date Totals when I have the Company, Job, Phase Of Work, Cost Type.
But what if I want to look at a range like last quarter or yesterday or last week. I can indeed filter that data in Pivot Table and get the period values, but now I don't know how to have the Job To Date values show up for comparison purposes.
I am guessing maybe a DAX formula (if using Excel Powerpivot or SQL Tabular Model), but I am at a loss.
So in the BI world how do you get Job To Date totals while also viewing the data for a period of time?
Here are some example graphs we would want to show for a single Job. Let's say we want to show the 10 worst performing cost distributions.
I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Cost, Period Cost, Job To Date Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Unit / Cost, Period Unit / Cost, Job To Date Unit / Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and the variance between JTD and Budget and Period and Budget.
As you can see it all stems around seeing JTD and Budget values vs Period Values. Here is a visualization that may work. I am using PivotTable filtered on one Company, Job, Phase of Work. I can see the sum of actual cost which is the totals for the date range I provided. But I still want to see the JTD totals for that Phase of Work and Cost Types and actually the Budget Totals as that is sort of a JTD, but for budget... especially if I want to compare Budget vs JTD vs Actual.
I'm stuck. I have a table that I want to pull some info from that I don''t know how to.
There are two colomuns, one is the call_id column which is not unique and the other is the call_status column which again is not unique. The call_status column can have several values, they are ('1 NEW','3 3RD RESPONDED','7 3RD RESOLVED','6 PENDING','3 SEC RESPONDED','7 SEC RESOLVED').
The call_id could be any number, I only want the 6 PENDING rows where there are other rows for that call_id which have either 3 3RD RESPONDED or 7 3RD RESOLVED. If someone knows how it would be a great help.
At the following MDX code , I want to get the aggregate of measure only for members that are also in the specified last time (like in examp 01/06/2015) . I tried existing and exists, but without any lack.
WITH MEMBER A AS (b)+(C) MEMBER [Measures].[Aggregate] AS Aggregate(DAYTIME].[Month].&[2013-01-01T00:00:00]:[DAYTIME].[Month].&[2015-06-01T00:00:00], ([Measures].[D])
Does anyone know how to select rows by their position in a table. I need to be able to e.g return the 2,000th - 2,200th rows as a set. I will have many concurrent clients connecting to this table so I do not want to use cursors. The table is 800,000 in length. Any ideas people?
How can a SQL statement be written to return a specified range ofrows? For example:-- tblContact-- (-- SSN char(9),-- FirstName varchar(50),-- LastName varchar(50)-- )-- This table contains 500 rows.Select * from tblContact -- Return only rows 5 through 10Thanks
Hi, I want to select the 8 most saled products from large orders table... the problem is that when i use the "distinct" sentence (something like this- "SELECT TOP 8 distinct id, products, productid FROM tbl_orders ORDER BY id") I get back the distinct of any columns.... (and any ID is distinct, of course), but if i don't include the id's in the distinct sentence, i can't order by id's. can i get the last orders, only by distinct product, and not by distinct id, and order them by the id's?
I have a temporary table that contain 1000 rows. I want to insert records from 900 to 1000 into another temporary table. Is ther any query that will do this in SQL server. With cursors I can do that but I need one shot query. Please give me some suggestions.
I using this query but it is not returning any rows. select * into #t2 from #t1 t1 where not exists( select top 900 * from #t1 t2)
I have two tables a stock table and a price table and I want to select the correct price for the Stock Date.
Problem is sometimes there is a promotion date in the price table between the live dates so the rows double up. Below is my sql but I get over 17,000 rows when it should be about 16,964.
I will post up the table and data.
SELECT a.[Company] ,a.[ProductID] ,a.[ColourSize] ,a.[StockDate] ,a.[Quantity] ,b.[Ticket Price] FROM[Stock_Ledger] a LEFT OUTER JOIN [Product_Prices] b ON a.[Company] = b.[Company] AND a.[ProductID] = b.[ProductID] AND a.[ColourSize] = b.[ColourSize] AND a.[StockDate] BETWEEN b.[StartDate] AND b.[EndDate] ORDER BY a.[StockDate],a.[ProductID],a.[ColourSize]
I have a table stock, on the table I have company_name, stock_value, sector. Now I want to get top five rows from this table depending on the five highest value of stock_value and for each sector. The query has to run on both oracle DB and Microsoft SQL Server with top priority MSSQL. I will appreciate if you help me on this
I know I can use "First" to specify a number of rows to return from a query but is it possible for the number of rows returned to be based on a parameter, something like this:
SELECT FIRST @someNumber name, age FROM friends WHERE age > @ageInput
