Selecting The Same Column Twice In The Same Where Clause
Jul 23, 2005
Hi :
From a crystal report i get a list of employee firstnames as a string
into my store procedure. Why is it comming this way ? hmmmmmm it's a
question for me too.
ex: "e1,e2,e3"
i need to find out the project ids all 3 of these employees worked on.
so the out put i need is
projectId
1
3
How can i get it ????????????
now i can use replace command to format it to a OR clause or AND
clause
SET @string= 'employeeId =' + '''' + REPLACE('e1,e2,e3',',',''' OR
employeeId = ''') + ''''
some thing like this.
OR clause will give me all 4 projects.
in('e1','e2','e3') will give me all 4 projects.
of cause AND command will not give me any.
other method i tried was adding the employee table 3 times into the
same SQL string and doing some thing like
WHERE (empTable1.Firstname ='e1' AND (empTable1.Firstname
in('e2','e3'))
AND (empTable2.Firstname ='e2' AND (empTable1.Firstname in('e1','e3'))
AND ...
and goes alone. this gives me some what i needed. but it's a very
messy way of doing it, because i get a comma seperated string
parameter i have to construct the sql string on the fly.
any help or direction on this matter would greatly appreciated.
SELECT * FROM bookkeep RIGHT OUTER JOIN acraccts ON LEFT(bookkeep.accnum, 9) = acraccts.p_accnum WHERE (bookkeep.busdate = '03/09/10') AND (bookkeep.tradetype = 'S')
on my sql box, if i run it, i get no data.
i figured out that if i change the where clause to (bookkeep.busdate='2003/09/10') it works
OR
if i simply put SET DATEFORMAT YMD on the first line before the SELECT * that it also works.
my problem is the basic query is hard coded and i really can't change it.
is there a global sql server setting that will make my sql 2000 sp3 box recognize '30/09/10' as 2003/09/10?
Hello i currently have a website that has an SQL server 2005 dbs that stores appointments. I would like to do a select statement in my sqldatasource that selects all the records that have an 'appointmentDate' more than 2 weeks after the current date (ie the system date). I am stuck on the SQL statement i need to produce to achieve this. I was thinking along the lines of SELECT * FROM appointments WHERE appointmentDate > System.Date + 14; However this is clearly not the right SQL statement. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, James.
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
I have a SQL Query issue you can find in SQL Fiddle
SQL FIDDLE for Demo
My query was like this
For Insert Insert into Employee values('aa', 'T', 'qqq') Insert into Employee values('aa' , 'F' , 'qqq') Insert into Employee values('bb', 'F' , 'eee') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'T' , 'rrr') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'pp' , 'aaa') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'Zz' , 'bab') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'ZZ' , 'bac') For select select col1,MAX(col2) as Col2,Max(Col3) as Col3 from Employee group by Col1
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v order by v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2 I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16 A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v cross join ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) u order by v.id ,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?
Hi I have a gridview with a sql data source and a few drop down lists where i choose values to sorth what i would like to retrive from the table. The problem im facing is that when i pass values to the database, i can sort out and retrive my items when both my listboxes have selected values. But when i want to select everything from the table where the column = clumn or cloumn = value i dont get anything back. I have 2 dropdown lists. One for category and one for location. These are populated drom the database by selecting the column and retriving destinct values. I have a function that fires when one of the dropdown lists are changed witch changes the sql datasource select value so it retrives items sorted by the selected categories and locations. Here is the function: protected void DropDownList_Change(object sender, EventArgs e) { string Category = DropDownListKategori.SelectedValue.ToString(); string Location = DropDownListEtabl.SelectedValue.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = @ARTTYP AND PLATS = @PLATS"; SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Clear(); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"ARTTYP", Category); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"PLATS", Location); SqlDataSource1.DataBind(); } The dropdown lists have an option to not retrive values by category or location. I have set that value to PLATS and ARTTYP thinking the query would would retrive everything if these were selected SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = ARTTYP AND PLATS = PLATS however if both these drop down lists are set to not filter, my query gets nothing in return. And if one of the lists has this selected and ther other one has a value, say a location or something nothing is retrived either. However if both columns have something selected i do get values returned. My speculation is that the query beeing run when this happens is that it is trying to find columns having the value ARTTYP or PLATS (category or location), as a string and actually seeing it as Im trying to retrive values where column = column. Any suggestions on how i can make my query run as intended or is there another problem Im not seeing.
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info and I want to get a list of Names the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.
I was thinking something along the lines of SELECT Name FROM TABLE1,TABLE2, TABLE3
But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB

Hi, I am having two tables Products and Transaction
In products I have ProductID and Description. (10 Records) In Transaction I have ProductID, Lot, Quantity and ListID . ( 4 Million Records)
When I use the inner join between these tables as below query its taking lot of time to give output.
select ProductID, Desc, Lot, qty from Products inner join Transactions on Products.ProductID = Transactions.ProductID where ListID = '9090909'
otherwise, if I use the below query its takes very few milli seconds to give output but I am not able to get the description from the product table. select * from Transactions TR where TR.ListID= '9090909' and TR.ProductID in
(select NDC from Products where Products.ProductID = TR.ProductID)
Any from can help me to get the description too at very few times.
I have a table with one row for each test a user has taken, with columns for userid, score, and test date. I have a query that gets the highest score and the date of the latest test for each user. Easy. But how can I also get the score achieved on the latest test for each agent?
Thanks, John

Godwin writes "Hello, Heres my question.. I have 2 tables.2 paticular columns exist in both the tables. I want to be able to select those 2 columns on the 1st table and insert them on to the same 2 columns on the 2nd table.

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.
I have a report with a date type parameter. Depending on the value return by this date type parameter the dataset will return either the credit, deposit or process date. How do I go about coding it so that it will dynamically select the right column in my query for my dataset?

In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int
In a SPROC I am creating, is there a way to use a columnName as a parameter and then do a filter on that based on a second parameter such as @columnValue ?
So instead of having to construct the WHERE clause or doing a bunch of IF statements to see what the column name is from the parameter and doing a query based upon that, is there a way to tell it to do a WHERE clause where @columnName = @columnValue ?
I do not want to use dynamic SQL string concatenation...
I have a [TestTable] table with three rows. The pair of columns [Test1] and [Test2] are id, the [Test3] is a data column. First, I get a table variable with list of id pairs. Next, I would like to update the rows of that ids. However, I have not found the elegant way how to do it. For one column it is simple, just IN clause, which does not work (or I could not find how) for multi-columns. Does someone have a hint?
Thanks,
Martin
Note: The example bellow is dummy; on the other hand, I hope it shows the important points. Please, do not beat me on syntax errors.
Code Block DECLARE @MyTableVar table( Test1 int NOT NULL, Test2 int NOT NULL );
SELECT [Test1],[Test2] INTO @MyTableVar FROM [TestTable] WHERE [Test3] = '%dd%';
UPDATE [TestTable] SET [Test3] = [Test3] + 'ds' WHERE ([Test1], [Test2]) IN (SELECT [Test1], [Test2] FROM @MyTableVar);
Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty FROM T1 t1 WHERE MaxQty>=10
But it fails as computed or inline query columns can not be added in where clause.
However following works: Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty FROM T1 t1 WHERE (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) >=10
BUT IS IT OPTIMIZED? Please suggest an optimized way to handle such scenarios.
Hello, I am using the JDCB-ODBC driver for my app, but one of the columns in my WHERE clause is 255 characters long. Because of this no rows are returned even though the statement should return 1 or 2 rows. I've tried other JDBC-ODBC drivers too and they have the same problem. Additionally, I've tried using RTrim(), Substring(), etc and it still will not work....any ideas? Is it a driver bug? Anyone know of a driver that will work?

I am busy extending a VB6 app to talk to SQL Server Express 2005 and have come across a naming conflict. Some of the columns in the application's Access 97 tables is "index" which obviously exists as a T-SQL keyword and therefore any queries I perform including this column throws a syntax error. I tried prefixing the columns with their table names as in TableName.Index, but this still throws up the syntax error which I thought was a bit odd. I preferably want a fix that will be Access as well as T-SQL compliant but if that's not possible I will just write a string converter that does the job based on anyone's suggestions. TIA

I want to join it with nother table "Order"Â which has a SerNo column but does not have first part of SerNo.
I'd think this is possible but I'm having trouble getting data returned from the query. Fields PART_NUMBER and INTERNAL_SKU exist in the SKU table. This will be inside a SP. If user passes 'PN' as first parameter then I'd need to have the WHERE clause by PART_NUMBER, if he passes 'SK' (or anything else for now) then the WHERE clause shold be by SKU.
Can't I just build the WHERE by replacing @SearchField with its value ? I've looked up the CASE statement but I don't think it does what I need.
I am having difficulty constructing a where clause. I have 4 columns in a table. Col1 is never NULL. Col2,3,4 may or may not contain NULL values. Here is the situation.
1. Col2,3,4 are NULL WHERE Col1 = condition
2. Col2 is NULL, 3 may or may not be NULL. When Col3 is NOT NULL, Col4 may or may not be NULL
where col1 and (col3(Not Null values) OR Col4(Not Null values)) = condition.
