Transact SQL :: Creating Dummy Headers (column Names) With Union All
May 19, 2015
I want to create a raw SQL resultset for outputting to Excel with some artificial headers transposed over the top of the 2nd part of the Union's column names. The first part of the Union will be the Headers. Like this, the space to the left of the topmost columns is preferably empty ....
I just want the text above as a 3 line header and there won't be any values obviously. Then the 2nd query will be joined to the above with a Union all. The 2nd query has all the same column names as what will be given in the first set above. What is the SQL Syntax for doing so? Do I have to use a from clause?
SELECT TOP 100 text, query_plan, cp.plan_handle, qs.last_execution_time FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans cp CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(cp.plan_handle) CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(cp.plan_handle) JOIN sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs ON cp.plan_handle = qs.plan_handle WHERE objtype='Adhoc'
I have below output:
Text Query_plan Plan_handle Lst_execution_time Select id,name from person <Showplan... dshkkgdaHqrqe13232423 2015-07-21 10:50:22.713 Update customer set Cid=3 where name='abc' <Showplan... poasfvrqe13232423 2015-07-21 10:16:22.500 delete from orders where ORid=8 <Showplan... 2ase2423 2015-07-21 10:10:22.710 Select 1,2,3,4,5 from num <showplan afqfqfq 2015-07-21 10:10:22.710
I am looking for
Text Query_plan Plan_handle Last_execution_time TabName colname Select id,name from person <Showplan... dshkkgdaHqrqe13232423 2015-07-21 10:50:22.713 Person Id, name Update customer set Cid=3 where name='abc' <Showplan poasfvrqe13232423 2015-07-21 10:16:22.500 customer Cid, name delete from orders where ORid=8 <Showplan... 2ase2423 2015-07-21 06:10:22.710 Orders ORid Select 1,2,3,4,5 from num <showplan afqfqfq 2015-07-21 10:10:22.710 nUM 1,2,3,4,5
Years ago, I remember while doing maintenance on a stored procedure seeing a 'Select x, y, z Where 'some value' = 1.
The function of this, I believe was to make the select work but not retrieve any actual values.
I am attempting to use this in an 'Insert Into Select values From' statement. This insert uses multiple selects via unions and I need a final dummy Select statement with no Where criteria.
What I am thinking may not even apply to what I need to do here.
If you recognize something even remotely near what I am trying to get across I would appreciate your sending me the code.
Another solution for me is just inserting one row with a final RecId = 6 and ' ' or 0 values for the other fields into a table but I was hoping this would work.
Example:
Insert Into table Select 1 as RecId, ' ' as field1, field2 From test1 Where field2 = 'CA'
Union Select 2 as RecId, ' ' as field1, field2 From test1 Where field2 = 'NJ'
Union
/*Final Select */
Select 6 as RecId, ' ' as field1, field2 From test1 Where 'some value' = 1'
I have a SQL text column from SP_who2 in table #SqlStatement:
like 1row shown below :
"update Panel set PanelValue=7286 where PanelFirmwareID=4 and PanelSettingID=9004000"
I want to find what table and column names are in the text ..
I tried like below ..
Select B.Statement from #sp_who2 A LEFT JOIN #SqlStatement B ON A.spid = B.spid where B.Statement IN ( SELECT T.name, C.name FROM sys.tables T JOIN sys.columns C ON T.object_id=C.object_id WHERE T.type='U' )
Something like this : find the column names and tables name
I got a table which gets populated by stor proc where we pivot the Sum(Balance of mortgage) by YYYYMM for the whole duration of the loan term.
I have a requirement to rename the column header where the previous month end balance period be renamed to P0.
if we run the report today, then the balance as at 31/09 should show under column P0 which now shows under 201509 and then P0 keeps shifting with each month run.
I have a table with ~30M records. I'm trying to add a column to the existing table with default value and have noticed following ... When using alter with default value- (Executes more than 45 min and killed forcefully)
ex: ALTER TABLE dbo.Table_X Add is_Active BIT CONSTRAINT DF_Table_X_is_Active DEFAULT 'FALSE' NOT NULL GO
When using update command after adding column with alter (without default value) it completes is 5 min.
ex: ALTER TABLE dbo.Table_X Add is_Active BIT NULL GO UPDATE Table_X SET is_Active = 0 WHERE is_Active IS NULL GO
Why there is so much of difference in execution times ? I was just trying to understand internal behavior of the SQL in these two scenarios.
I am creating a report in SSRS which has the following criteria:
- Row 1 (parent) is 'Product'
- Row 2 (child) is 'Feed'
- Columns are date. I have 5 dates showing at any one time across the top. The date field is set up as a parameter so depending on the date the user selects, the report will show that date on the end column and then the 4 days prior to that in the other columns.
- Data is the number of records.
I have a sub total on the Product and the report is collapsed on Product as default.
What i'm stuck on is trying to insert a column at the very end that will show the variance between the last two dates. So the difference between the date the user selected (@date parameter) and the day before that.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
would have a result set like (this is not an exact result from analyser)
empname empsalary ----------- ------------ Imran 5000 Raja 5000 Ram 8000
But I was wondering if I could somehow make it display
Imran 5000 Raja 5000 Ram 8000
I actually implementation of this is something vast, but I have illustrated a very simple example to explain what I want to achieve. Might seem a very simple 1 line solution, but I haven't been able to find it. .If ther is any documentation that might help please reply and point me to that..
I am developing a matrix report in SRS. In columns group there are several values. When report runs they apper in any order based on the first record in row group. I want colums to apeear in specific order all the time. For example the column sequence in one out put is Follwup 1, Initial , Followup 2. I want to column header to be in order of Initial, Folloup 1, Followup 2. Can someone help?
It extends along a fair number of pages, and I'm currently using the "# of columns = 3" in the Report properties --> Layout section in order to make it span over 3 columns instead of the usual 1. I'm using a table in which the random info fields are the repeating values, and the Field 1,2,3,4,etc are included in the list control, but not part of the physical table itself.
My question stems from a couple of chunks of data which basically extend over the course of 1.5 pages (yep. There's enough to fill about 4.5 columns worth.)
I currently have
Field 1 RandomInfo50 RandomInfo100
RandomInfo1 RandomInfo51 RandomInfo101
Randominfo2 RandomInfo52 RandomInfo102
etc.... etc.... etc....
-----NewPage----
RandomInfo150 Field 2
Randominfo151 NewRandomInfo1
RandomInfo152 NewRandomInfo2
etc...
What I'm looking to do is have "Field 1" appear at the top of each column whenever a larger chunk of data forces itself into multiple columns, or even multiple columns on multiple pages. I have this nasty feeling it's something silly and blatantly obvious I'm missing...
I am looking to create a new view by combining two tables, but i would like to create a new column in the view that identifies what table the data came from. For example I have a Table A and Table B, using a union i combined the two table but i want a new column titled Source which could be populated by A or B.
This is my code so far:
Create View Table_AB As Select *From Table_A Union All Select*From Table_B
I’m receiving the following message when attempting to run the SQL statement below.
Error report: SQL Command: force view "UIP_SOC"."SEG_VIEW_EWO_2" Failed: Warning: execution completed with warning
----------------------- CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "UIP_SOC"."SEG_VIEW_EWO_2" ("CODE", "NAME", "EWO4", "EWO6") AS SELECT DISTINCT code, name FROM ( SELECT seg_value AS code, seg_desc AS name, SUBSTR(seg_value,5,4) AS EWO4, SUBSTR(seg_value,5,6) AS EWO6 FROM UIP_SEGMENT_VALUES WHERE seg_name = 'EWO' AND seg_value IN (SELECT ewo FROM stage_budget_v) UNION SELECT CODE,NAME FROM SEG_VIEW_PARENTS WHERE SEG_NAME = 'EWO' AND NOT (CODE IS NULL) ); ----------------
when paging down or across in a matrix based report, it would be nice for headings (row and column) to float (ie not disappear) with the position of the report. Is this possible in RS?
I'm trying to implement Interactive Soring on the column headers in a matrix in a report. Is it actually possible to do this? I've read several internet posts and stories of implementing the Interactive Sorting in the upper-left corner of the matrix, but this is not what I want, I want to implement it on the column headers .
The goal I'm trying to achieve is to give the user the possibillity to click on a column header to sort the rows below in asc- or descending direction.
Please tell me if this is possible, because all my efforts have not been succesfull! If it's possible, please provide the solution to do this.
If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask.
I attempted to create a view in SQL Server 2000 that Unions twoqueries. The first part of the query gets data from the local server,the second part gets info from a linked server. (The query works finein Query Analyzer.)I received this error when I tried to save the query:ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] The operation couldnot be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable tobegin a distributed transaction.[Microsft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB providerreturned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specifiedtransaction coordinator.]After a little reading I discovered the "Database limitation":"A view can be created on a table only in the database the viewcreator is accessing".That's my problem... is there a simple solution or alternative tocreating a view?Thanks,Matt
I have a report which runs for last 12 months data. Since this is going to be last 12 months the column headers change every month. How can we implement this with dynamic column headers in the dataset?
I want to have two lines of column headers.( with 7 columns in parent columns header)
and 7 columns in child column header.
The first column header will show a parent record.
And after the parent record i want to show the next child related horizontal column headers and will show all child record related to the above parent record.
its a one to many: 1 parent record and below all child records for that parent record.
can i use subreports controls to show all child records of the parent.
I have been given an MS Access Database that has a table with columns
I have to create a spreadsheet that will have the data stored in the column header as a row (essentially we are creating a spreadsheet that records all of the different columns in all of the different tables in the MS Access DB).
I've got a view that creates a parent child relationship, this view isused in Analysis Services to create a dimension in a datastore. Thisquery tends to deadlock after about 10 days of running smoothly. Onlyway to fix it is to reboot the box, I can recycle the services for aquick fix but that usually only works for the next 1-2 times I call theview.This view is used to create a breakdown of the bill-to locations fromContinent-Global Region-Country-Sub Region-State/Province- City-ZipCodeYes, I know that sounds crazy, but it was a requirement.So why would I get a deadlock on a SELECT Query? Is there a way to setthe Isolation level to Repeatable Read for a view?Here is the view code:CREATE View dbo.vwBillToas-- US ZipCodeSelect 'Parent'=z.City+' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.State_shrt), '0') +cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) as varchar) + ')',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child',z.ZipCode_WK as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToWherez.US_Region_wk IS NOT NULLGroupby z.City,z.ZipCode_WK,US_Region_wk, z.State_shrtUnion--CitySelect 'Parent'=z.State_Long+' ('+cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) asvarchar)+')',z.City as 'Child',z.City + ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.State_shrt), '0') +cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) as varchar) + ')' as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US zWherez.US_Region_wk IS NOT NULLGroupby z.State_Long,z.City,z.State_shrt,z.US_Region_wkUnion-- Canada ZipCodeSelect 'Parent'=z.City+ ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.province_shrt), '0') +')',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CAN zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToGroupby z.Province_Long,z.ZipCode_WK, z.City, z.province_shrtUnion--CitySelect 'Parent'=z.Province_Long,z.City as 'Child',z.City+ ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.province_shrt), '0') + ')' as'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CAN zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToGroupby z.Province_Long,z.ZipCode_WK, z.City, z.province_shrtUnion-- Canada ProvinceSelect 'CANADA',Province_Long,Province_LongFromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CANGroupby Province_LongUnion-- CountrySelect t.Region_NK,c.Country_Name,c.Country_NameFromdbo.DIM_COUNTRY cInnerJoin dbo.DIM_WORLD_REGION tOnc.Region_WK=t.Region_WKWherec.Country_Name Is Not NullGroup by t.Region_NK, c.Country_NameUnion-- SubRegionSelect c.Country_Name,sr.US_Region_Name,sr.US_Region_NameFromdbo.DIM_US_REGION srInnerJoin dbo.DIM_COUNTRY cOnsr.Country_wk=c.Country_WKGroupby c.Country_Name, sr.US_Region_NameUnion--RegionSelect sr.US_Region_Name,c.State_Long,c.State_Long+' ('+cast(c.US_Region_wk as varchar)+')'Fromdbo.DIM_US_REGION srInnerJoin dbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US cOnsr.US_Region_WK=c.US_Region_WKGroupby sr.US_Region_Name, c.State_Long,c.US_Region_wkUnion-- ContinentSelect Null,Region_NK,Region_NK[color=blue]>From dbo.DIM_WORLD_REGION[/color]WhereRegion_NK Is Not Null
I have excel files where the column headers I care about are on line 5, and the actual data doesn't begin until line 6. Other than deleting the first 4 lines, which is impractical, how can I get the Excel Connection Manager to import the data correctly? I was able to do this under DTS, so I have to imagine it's possible.
