I have two tables Encounter & Encounter_History. They have same columns. One column is of type CLOB. My requirement is to retrieve all the distinct records from both the tables with order by a date column. But problem is, UNION does not work in case of CLOB data type.
I know it will work if I use UNION ALL, but it returns duplicate records.
Please give me suggestion, how to solve this problem.
For example: The following query does not work since column1 is a CLOB data type
select column1 from table1
union
select column1 from table2
Using a code snippet borrowed from a co-worker, I have put together a query that, among other things, pulls a list value out of an xml clob field and displays it in the query results. My query as it stands right now is below, followed by a snippet from the xml clob that I am pulling from.
select * from (Select Wtr_Service_Tag, Wtr_Tran_Origin, Wtr_Send_Date, Wtr_Receive_Date, to_char(substr(wtr_req_xml,instr(substr(wtr_req_xml,1,8000),'SID')+8,12)) Asset_Tag from ws_transactions Where Wtr_Service_Tag In ('20458749610')
[Code] ....
This query is only able to pull the first value in the list.
I have two questions...
[1]How can I edit this query to pull all of the list items when there are more than 1? I have another field, in a separate table, that I can pull from to get that number.
[2]This one may be more complex. As currently written, the query pulls a fixed number of characters from the xml clob and either returns not enough data, or too much because the values I need to pull could be of varying lengths. I have no way to query what those lengths might be.
My source data is present in XML File which is stored in CLOB column Of Oracle. CLOB column is compressed.I need to Migrate data by Uncompressing XML to SQL 2012 .
Do I need to define XML column in SQL Server 2012 for storing Uncompressed CLOB values ?
How to uncompress the clob and extract the required data from XML using SSIS .
Hi I have a table with image data type column. I would like to store photos (images in .jpg format) in the table. I am using ADODC to connect VB.NET with MS-SQL server 2000.
I am having alot of trouble with a union query Im trying to create.The bizarre thing is I initially created this query and managed tosave it as a viewSELECT ID, DepartureDate, City, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' AS TypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, DestCity, Country, Region, fkDepartureAirport,Price, '2' AS TypeFROM dbo.vFlightHowever when I tried to update the view to this:SELECT ID, DepartureDate, fkCity, City, fkCountry, Country,Region, fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' ASTypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, fkCity, DestCity, fkCountry, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, Price, '2'FROM dbo.vFlightit comes up with the error: view definition includes no output columnsor includes no items in the from clause.Any ideas??????All suggestions appreciatedAlly
Hi,I have a database stored in MS SQL 2000 and an application written inVB5, which connects the database via JET/ODBC.I have a problem with the UNION statement.When I run a simple query like:"SELECT field1 FROM table1 UNION SELECT field2 FROM table2"I get the following error:"Runtime error 3078 - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find theinput table or query 'select field1 from table1'. Make sure it existsand that its name is spelled correctly."I can run the queries separately "SELECT field1 FROM table1" and "SELECTfield1 FROM table2", so that I'm sure table and field names are correctand I have permission to access them.Both field1 and field2 are the same type (int).If I run the query in MS SQL Query Analyzer, it works fine.It doesn't work only when I run it from VB/JET/ODBC.Has anyone already had this kind of problem?Any help will be highly appreciated!Thank you so much for the attention.--Posted via http://dbforums.com
I'm using the XML Source to process a hierarchical set of XML. As such, the XML Source creates keys to maintain the hierarchy. This is very convenient, and keeps me from having to invent my own keys.
The problem is that the datatype of these keys defaults to DT_UI8. Which SQL Server 2005 datatype should I use to store these values in my staging tables? BIGINT corresponds to DT_I8, which can't accept DT_UI8 values.
I had a strange problem today with one of the identity fields in a frequently used table. It appears that the Identity column for a table had stopped incrementing after it reached 2147483585. Since I had inherited this table, I am not sure if the identity column type has been modified from int to numeric, but the current type is Numeric (9) which is 19 precision and 0 scale value.
When resetting the seed to 1, it started working. I tried creating a temp table with numeric value and it increments well beyond billions with no problems.
Has anyone encountered this? Any best practices around defining Identity data type (ie. use int or bigint and avoide Numeric)? Thanks NS
I have the following query which works fine when it's executed as a single query. but when i union the result of this query with other queries, it returns a different set of data.
any one know why that might be the case??

Hi,i need an opinion on this,...i am using UNION ALL quite a bit in my queries..most of the time these are like 1 line select query,returning "different" type of stuff ..like say query 1 is returning one EmpName and query 2 is DOB and so on(keeping it simple for example)...i am combining it b/c i find it cumbersome to call 10 dfferent query to populate 1 structure(table etc) ,rather i wud call one and manipulate the result to fill up that one structure..Is that okay to combine different kind of return types in one (here first row of multi-select query result is empName,second row is DOB and so on...)?????thanks
i've tried using the SELECT SQL sentence on PPC with UNION and INNER JOIN in combination with DATEDIFF function which works fine on ordinary SQL but obviously does not work on compact edition. Is there some workaround?
SQL sentence that works:
Code Snippet

I need it to dynamically output based off COL1, the output should look like this. When there are more rows for CAT, it should output more columns. Kind of like merging the columns
I have a view that is using UNION ALL to combine common fields of two tables, this is my statement:
SELECT ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER FROM dbo.CT_FRAME_T
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER FROM dbo.CT_ATM_T
This works fine, but I would also like some fields that do not match to appear in the view. It is OK if the value is null for the rows of data from the other table that doesn't have the columns.
The other columns are called DLCI from CT_FRAME_T and then VPI, VCI from CT_ATM_T.
My view would then return ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER, DLCI (where applicable), VPI and VCI (where applicable). Is this possible?
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
We have a table with 500+ columns. The data is non-normalized, i.e. there are four groups of fields for for "people", followed by data that applies to all people in the row (a "household").For ad-hoc queries, and because I wanted to index columns within each person (person 1's age, person 2's age, etc.), I used UNION:
SELECT P1Firstname AS FirstName, P1LastName as LastName, P1birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns> UNION SELECT P2Firstname AS FirstName, P2LastName as LastName, P2birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns>
I could get at least the P1... P2... P3... columns with PIVOT, but then I believe I'd have to JOIN back to the row anyway for the "household" columns. Performance of UNION good, but another person here chose to use PIVOT instead.I can' find any articles on PIVOT vs. UNION for "de-flattening".

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible? I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.

Any idea on performance comparison between VARCHAR and CLOB? For example, if I want to insert or update 4000 characters in a field of a row and I am confused whether that column's type would better be decalred as VARCHAR or CLOB, what do you suggest?
