Hy!
I'm trying to write a query which returns only some rows in my table...
For example :
I want all the rows included between 30 and 50 from table XYZ
(30 and 50 are not keys but really the numbers of records)
Is there someone out there who has a hint for me???
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english!

Table 1:

I would like to filter the second table taking one row per ID of Field A (first table) and selecting the rows whose sum of E is equal to the value in field C; in this example the resulting table should be:

Hi,
These aren't my tables, but lets dumb it down for my sake!
I have 2 tables:
CompanyInfo: IDNumber, EffectiveDate, CompanyName
TransacationInfo: TransactID, CompanyID, TransDate, Amount
There are several records in TransactionInfo for each record in CompanyInfo.
I want to:
SELECT CompanyInfo.IDNumber, CompanyInfo.EffectiveDate, CompanyInfo.CompanyName,
SUM(TransactionInfo.Amount)
How can I do this? Can I?
I have to select rows from a table

AND BFKEYC LT 'GC'
I am creating printed questionnaires based on data in a table. Portions of the layout must be exact and not be moved on the page.
I have some textboxes and rectangles on the left of a report and a table on the right. The table forces all the controls on the left to appear AFTER the last row and I can find no workaround. Basically, no controls can appear to the left of a table. The texboxes on the left give instructions to the user on how to fill out the items in the table on the right and I need them to remain where I place them. I have many other reports that require fixed positions.
Other report writers have texbox and label options to work around this . For example Visual Foxpro has an "Object Position" property with options for "Float", "Fix position relative to top of band", "Fix position relative to bottom of band". This allows the position to be forced if necessary.
This is very much needed and wanted in the Report Writer and I request it for the next release or service pack.
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').
i.e example, this is the existing data.
Call_id Call_Status
555555 3 3RD RESPONDED
235252 7 SEC RESOLVED
555555 7 3RD RESOLVED
325252 6 PENDING
555555 6 PENDING
325235 3 SEC RESPONDED
555555 1 NEW
This is the data I want...
Call_id Call_Status
555555 3 3RD RESPONDED
555555 6 PENDING
555555 7 3RD 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.
Cheers,
Chris
There are about 500 tables in one particular datbase. There are
foreign keys set on most of the tables. I want to change the position
of the primary key column in all those tables. How can I do that
programatically?
Hi Everybody,
Is there any way to find the current position of a row in a table?. Like what we have in Oracle ROWID, Like that anything available in SQL Server.
I have seen NEWID(),uniqueidentifier & ROWGUIDCOL in BOL. Apart from that any easy method is available in SQL Server?
thanks in advance,

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a column to a table at a particular position. The ALTER TABLE statement specifies that an ADD COLUMN puts this on the end of the table. Is there a way to insert into the middle of the table?
Alternatively, can it be done through SQL-DMO?
Obviously the fallback would be to drop and re-create the table with the correct column ordering, however this is not ideal for tables with large amounts of data.
It's possible to do this through Enterprise Manager (using Insert Column), so how does it do it - DMO, or by dropping and re-creating?
We're building a database schema upgrage tool and are trying to cover all possibilities.
Thanks,
Steve Jenkins.
Hello,
I have a report that prints cards for customers. The body of the report contains an address box, letter body, followed by a table that contains all the people to be printed on the cards. If the number exceeds 6 people, another page is to be printed, with no address or letter body, but the table with the remainder of the people on it.
I have been able to get everything to work except for the location of the table on the subsequent pages. They do not appear at the bottom as they do on the first page, but at the top of the page. I've tried using a rectangle as a container for the table, with no luck.
I seem to remember doing this in the past, but as projects get shelved for an extended period of time, the technical knowledge tends to fade.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi
I am having a problem in auditing the column data in tables.My requirement is i have write a trigger which is capable of auditing the columns which are going to be added in the future also with out using dynamic SQL.is there any way to do so.
I feel if i can get the column data based on ordinal position then it is possible.
Can any body suggest.
My set Up is like this
I have a base_table to be audited.
I have a Audit_spec table which contains name of the table and columns to be audited.
And Audit table which actually captures the table name,column name ,old value and new value.
I have to audit only those columns in the Audit_spec spec.
If schema changes(Like new column added) happens to base_table and I want that column to be audited.with out any changes to my trigger code i should handle the newly added column ..
how can I select 10 random rows from a table?
Please help
Hello,
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?
Thanks,

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 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

View 9 Replies View RelatedHi all -
is there a way to process a file x records at a time?
We have a table that I need to append to an existing table. The date columns are currently in char but must be converted to datetime for the existing table. The problem is I have bad data. There are 3 million rows where the date field isn't valid for SQL's datetime format. Since this is the data I have, I have to work with it. I would like for SQL to just insert a null if it comes upon a bad date. Currently when it encounters a field that isn't valid, it stops the process with an error.
I have tried to go around it below, but there is still something "hanging" I would like to be able just to insert one million rows at a time and if it errors, then I can look at the next million, find the error, fix it and continue on.
Any suggestions? Or if you have a better idea all together I would love to see it.
SQL Server 7.0, SP2

when
(substring(check_date,1,4) not between '1997' and '2000' or
substring(check_date,5,2) not between '01' and '12' or
