What's The Best Way To Programatically Modify SQL Results For Display?
Oct 5, 2006
Lets say you have to retrieve some SQL.
Then you have to go through those records and delete some items, change some values, and even add columns and rows...based on logic that depends on the data you got.
Thanks.
hi everyone. i want to build a page that all datas,images will store in sql server. i want to display images,text from database in a page with a template (images left of the page,text near the image and like....,programatically) there will be very much data . about 500-1000 pages data. is this possible with sql server? can SQL server store big datas? if it is possible can you give me an idea.
In my report, I need to display column names (and its values) from my dataset, which uses the stored procedure and within it use the PIVOT statement. I cannot use the matrix control in report since I need to add another static column to the right of the matrix, but since that cannot be done ni SQL SSRS 2005, I need to PIVOT it through stored procedure. The parameter passed to stored procedure is the year and it is used for pivot. The statement looks like this:
@sql = 'SELECT * FROM (SELECT YearId, SchoolId, ReportText, OutputValue_Text from AggregateTable) AS AGAM PIVOT (MIN(OutputValue_Text) FOR YearId IN ([' + @YearId + '])) PVT'
EXEC(@sql)
So, since the years passed as parameters can change, I cannot hard-code it as column in my report, so I need to programatically display column names and values from my dataset, something like dataSet.Tables[0].Columns[].ColumnName; I have tried with writing the code, but I do not have much experience with it and I have not been very successful. Can someone help me with the code?
Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist. My current SQL statement is as follows. SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))" So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James.
Sigh, probably simple, but somehow I just can't get it to work..
I have a complex view which generated about 9000 results, and I use a SP to select certain results from that view. How can I modify the results of the SP? for example I want to add a zero to every single companynumber the SP gives me...
*it's friday, i know* Any help would be appreciated!
Hi, I made a table to display information from northwind database. It displays fine on IE5.0 but will only show the first line in netscape. Do you know what it may be???
I don't know if anyone has encountered this before but here goes:
I've a select clause below: result = "Select * from person where LocalName LIKE N'" + queryLocalName + "'"
queryLocalName is an input field that allows the user to search for non-English characters in the database.
What I'm wondering is what kind of effect is the N in the where clause is having?
I can't seem to get it to work when doing it via the web. I've tested in the database itself, got it to work using the SQL Analyser but when testing on the web, it can't find because ? are appearing in the result.
I have a column in the following select startement called displayvalue. Displayvalue is a varchar column. Primary everything entered into this column is numeric, but there are times when NR is entered. In the select query if it sees NR, I would like to have NR changed in the resultset to NULL or blank. NR doesn't come up all of the time, but I have not idea how to do this in the select statment.
Here goes..
SELECT SAMPLE.SAMPLEID, SAMPLE.U_WORKORDERNUMBER, SAMPLE.U_SAMPLEDATETIME, SDI.PARAMID, SDI.DISPLAYVALUE FROM SAMPLE SAMPLE, SDIDATAITEM SDI WHERE ( (SAMPLE.SAMPLEID = SDI.KEYID1) AND (SAMPLE.U_WORKORDERNUMBER = '0060') AND (SAMPLE.U_SAMPLEDATETIME > '31-DEC-2003') AND (SDI.PARAMID = 'BOD') ) ORDER BY SAMPLE.SAMPLEID ASC, SDI.PARAMID ASC
I am working on a project that displays images. Before you can get to the image, you have to select a category that the image may be in. After that, you select the sub categories. I am trying to display a count of the number of records that the subcategories contain. Here is an example:
The user can make a selection from the categories listed below:
Geographic Area Time Period Topic Record Type
If the user selects time period, he/she is taken to a list of subcategories. I would like to display the subcategories with a count of the number of records that will be displayed if it is selected. Listed below is an example of what this would look like:
Colonial (10) -----the number in parenthesis is the number of records that will be displayed if selected------ Gilded Age (12) Revolutionary (9) Progressive Era (22)
Is there a way to display the number in parenthesis using ASP.Net and SQL Server 2000? Any clues will be greatly appreciated.
I have small requirement in my project. I need to display the results of the WHERE clause based on percentage/ranking of exact match.
I mean the result set should be displayed based on percentage match.
For example i have the below table.
create table test ( id int identity(1,1) primary key, ename varchar(10) )
insert into test(ename) select 'REG' insert into test(ename) select 'xyz' insert into test(ename) select 'abc' insert into test(ename) select 'Reg' insert into test(ename) select 'Regsxysn' insert into test(ename) select 'psReg'
I need the output something similar as below
REG Reg Regsxysn psReg
I have tried out with full text indexing but i could'nt get the required output.
I have a query that calculates sales by sales person, but it displays horizontally across my query window. Is their a way in SQL Server to have the data display vertically down the window instead?
This is my current query
Code:
Select count(case when salesman Like 'Geo%' then id else null end) As [George] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Li%' then id else null end) As [Lisa] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Jor%' then id else null end) As [Jorge] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Ri%' then id else null end) As [Richard] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Geo%' then id else null end)+count(case when salesman Like 'Li%' then id else null end) As [Team 1 Sales] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Jor%' then id else null end)+count(case when salesman Like 'Ri%' then id else null end) As [Team 2 Sales] from sales.southeastregion
Which of course shows the results as such
George --- Lisa --- Jorge --- Richard --- Team 1 --- Team 2 100 50 10 90 150 100
And I want the data to be displayed like
George - 100 Lista - 50 Jorge - 10 Richard - 90 Team 1 - 150 Team 2 - 100

I have a single column returned from a select statement. How can I have this returned as a vertical string? I looked into using PIVOT but my scenario seems too simple to use Pivot. I'm not requiring any aggregate functions or anything.
I have an issue with some data that has a leading ASCII char 160 (the "a" with the accent mark) but it shows in query results as a space.
... where customername like char(160) + '%'
returns 2 rows but shows the customer name with a leading space. How would I change the collation or do otherwise to get this character to display correctly in the results?
I written a proc to display the list of Indexes But I needed to print the database where the objects do belong to. How I should write the Dynamic script to add the database Id? I thought to use derived table kind of stuff, but unable to find a solution.

I am trying to calculate the time difference between the value in the row and the min value in the table. So say the min value in the table is 2014-05-29 14:44:17.713. (This is the start time of the test.) Now say the test ends at 2014-05-29 17:10:17.010. There are many rows recorded during that start and end time, for each row created a time stamp is created. I am trying to calculate the elapsed time and have it as a row in the results.
min(timestamp) - timestamp(value in row) = elapsed time for that test where Channel = '273'
Here is the table DDL
CREATE DATABASE SpecTest; USE SpecTest GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Spec1]( [Spec1ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Channel] [int] NOT NULL,
Please help. I'm completely new to SSIS, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction(s).
I am developing a winforms client app, and I need to be able to provide the user with the ability to import data in CSV format into our application's database.
I'd like to use SSIS if possible, as long as what I am trying to do isn't near impossible.
I'm thinking of a UI where the user can specify a flat file (CSV) to upload and be processed by an SSIS package on a remote database server.
This package will be responsible for validating the CSV file and inserting data into the database as appropriate.
Is there a way I can:
launch an SSIS package remotely, from a winforms app on the client machine that is not running SQL server (preferably asynchronously) -- and pass it some parameters, including the import file itself (optionally) provide progress feedback to the client pc to let them know it is being processed display a nice SSRS report on the client upon completion that tells them exactly what the success/failure of the import was (how many rows processed, which ones failed and why, etc)
Any helpful examples, links, etc would be most appreciated.
When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says. Command(s) completed successfully. What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query.

Using ADO.NET Or regular queries on SQL Server, is there a good way ofdetermining if a Stored Proc will be returning a result set or if it isa non-query that does all I/O through parameters?Thanks.
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100 SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CountyId IN ( SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId) THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId
[Code] .....
This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Can anyone please direct me to an easy to understand Description, Article or Video tutorial that shows an example on how to programatically connect to an SQL database and retrieve data from a collumn using C# and VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION. Also, what namespace should be imported to do this? (From what I have gathered out of the help, it seem that System.Web.UI.WebControls is the one) I am trying to create a "news letter" web page. I have a basic form and when I hit "send" then the code in the background should access the database with all the recipient info, and retrieve all the E-mail addresses, Names, etc. and include it in each e-mail. ( I don't know if it is just me, but the help included with VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION is extremely difficult to understand - from a beginner point of view). Thanks! Regards Jan
Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.

In VS2003 I have a user defaults table that I would call in the OnLoad - No Postback section to get the user defaults and then used some of the fields from that recordset as Parameters for other recordsets that would also load in that same section and might even issue a different Sql statement based on the field. In VS2005 (VB.NET), I can no longer figure out how to accomplish this. I can use the SQLDatasource Control which seems much improved but I cannot even find the generated code which I would use as a quick way to create my own datasources in the OnLoad event. Where is this code now stored and how can I accomplish my objectives in VB.NET 2005 with the current framework or programatically create data sources as necessary as I did before?
