I have a stored procedure which selects results based on some date calculations.
In my table I have a status column and two date fields (Approval Date and Signature Date)
If the value in the status column says approved I want to select results where approval date - signature date is less than a certain number of days.
If the status is naything other than approved i want to select results where sysdate - signature date is less than the given number of days.
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 results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
I have the following code which is incomplete. Where it says: txtVendorID = I need it to equal the results of the field VendorID from my query...here is my code. What do I need to add there?
Dim cmdSelect As SqlCommandDim intRecordIDintRecordID = Request.QueryString("RecordID")strConn = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("conn")conn = New SqlConnection(strConn)cmdSelect = New SqlCommand("spMfgRepListAddaspxByRecordID", conn)cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedurecmdSelect.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecordID", intRecordID)conn.Open()cmdSelect.ExecuteReader()txtVendorID.Text = conn.Close()
Hi,Suppose I have a table containing monthly sales figures from my shopbranches:Branch Month Sales-----------------------London Jan 5000London Feb 4500London Mar 5200Cardiff Jan 2900Cardiff Feb 4100Cardiff Mar 3500The question I am trying to ask is this: in which month did each branchachieve its highest sales? So I want a result set something like this:Branch Month----------------London MarCardiff FebI can do a "SELECT Branch, MAX(Sales) FROM MonthlySales GROUP BY Branch" totell me what the highest monthly sales figure was, but I just can't figureout how to write a query to tell me which month corresponded to MAX(Sales).Ideas anyone?Cheers,....Andy
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!! -- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on go if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1 if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
I'll try to simplify the problem as much as I can.
There's survey. It has different types of question answer pairs, but the problem is in Multiple Choices, Multiple Answers questions, where user can choose, for example 3 checkboxes from 5 at the web form, for the question.
tbl_results IDresult (primary) IDquestion (foreign, to tbl_question) result (string based on CSV, may contain few IDanswers, because visitor may choose few checkboxes, for example it can be "4,6,7")
Inside those tables are data (I'll put here just two questions):
Example: tbl_questions IDquestion_question 1_________Which OS do you use? 2_________Which databases do you use? tbl_answers IDanswer_IDquestion_answer 1________1_________Windows 2________1_________Linux 3________1_________Mac OS 4________2_________SQL Server 5________2_________MS Access 6________2_________MySQL 7________2_________Oracle 8________2_________Other 9________2_________No, I do not use databases tbl_results IDresult_IDquestion_results ........ 23_______1________1,2 24_______2________4,6,7 ........ Is there a possibility to make query, using columns, but also the data inside the CSV format in results (varchar or char) column?
Result of the query would be: IDquestion_IDanswer_answer 1_________1________Windows 1_________1________Linux 2_________4________SQL Server 2_________6________MySQL 2_________7________Oracle
Further queries based on this query should be able to make statistics (GROUP BY).
I have 2 independent queries which run just fine, the 2nd one returns a dollar value. I need this dollar value as a column in my first query so that I can return it in a reporting program. The 2 queries are pasted below.
SELECT dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.InvoiceNumber AS "InvoiceNumber", dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.TransactionType AS "TransactionType", dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.Date AS "Date", dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.DueDate AS "DueDate", dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.CustomerName AS "CustomerName",

I have written a Query to Pivot this data like below:
SELECT WAREHOUSE,ITEM, QTY
FROM
(SELECT ITEM,WAREHOUSE,FOR1,FOR2,for3,for4,for5,for6,for7,for8,for9,for10, for11,for12,for13,for14,for15,for16,for17,for18,for19,for20,for21, for22,for23,for24 FROM mvxreport.tbldmsForecasttoMovex) p
UNPIVOT
(QTY FOR tbldmsForecasttoMovex IN (FOR1,FOR2,for3,for4,for5,for6,for7, for8,for9,for10,for11,for12,for13,for14,for15,for16,for17,for18,for19, for20,for21,for22,for23,for24))AS unpvt
I would like to add some more code to the query, so for each FOR% column, i can put a numeric value in it. The value will be the numbers ,1 - 24 . One for each line as this represents Months Forward.
I need to create a derived column for each row in a SQL dataset.
This derived column needs to be created by passing across two values from the SQL dataset and querying an Oracle table based on those parameters. If the Oracle query returns a record(s) then the derived column should be set to 1 otherwise leave it as default (0).
One of these parameters needs to check a date range so I can't use a Lookup Transformation...any ideas how I can accomplish this ?
Hi, not exactly too sure if this can be done but I have a need to run a query which will return a list of values from 1 column. Then I need to iterate this list to produce the resultset for return. This is implemented as a stored procedure
declare @OwnerIdent varchar(7) set @OwnerIdent='A12345B'
SELECT table1.val1 FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1. Ident = table2.Ident WHERE table2.Ident = @OwnerIdent
'Now for each result of the above I need to run the below query
SELECT Clients.Name , Clients.Address1 , Clients.BPhone, Clients.email FROM Clients INNER JOIN Growers ON Clients.ClientKey = Growers.ClientKey WHERE Growers.PIN = @newpin)
I have a set of data spread across a number of tables regarding stock market data. An example of this follows:
Market Capitalization...
Date CompA CompB 01/01/11 100 5 02/01/11 102 4
Share Price....
Date CompA CompB 01/01/11 100 100 02/01/11 101 99
Event Data...
Date Company 01/01/11 CompA 02/01/11 CompB
Pretty simply, I need a way to retrieve the market capitalisation and share price data based on the event data. So for instance I say 'oh, there is an event on the 01/01/11 involving company A, the market capitalisation on this day was 100, then for the next event it was 4 for company B.
I can also transpose the data so that the company name is in the rows and the dates in the columns for the market cap and share price tables, but this leads to the issue that when I try and get the data, I don't know how to query the correct company for that date.
For instance: SELECT Event.Date, Event.Company FROM Event
how do I now say.....
SELECT MarketCapitalisation.Column WHERE Column = Event.Company AND MarketCapitalisation.Date = Event.Date.
I have played around with a few basic joins, but I am having issue with the principle of that second to last line of SQL (so only getting the correct column).
I still have a copy of the data in excel so can flip things around as needed, but that would only mean that I would have the issue of WHERE Column = Event.Date instead of Event.Company.
We have a table with a couple of computed columns. The value of the computed column represents a foreign key reference into another table. We're seeing a major performance problem doing a query joining between the two tables with one of the columns, but not the other. In other words, this kind of query is very fast:
select * from TheTable A, FKeyTable B where A.ComputedColumn1 = B.KeyColumn
but this one sends the CPU usage of SQL Server to 99% for a very long time:
select * from TheTable A, FKeyTable B where A.ComputedColumn2 = B.KeyColumn
The main difference we can see that the computed column that causes problems is based on a UDF, and the other one isn't (but again, both are computed). When I look at the execution plan, the slow query shows a Nested Loop (Inner Join) with a "No Join Predicate" warning, with the estimated # of rows being 70 million (which correponds to the product of 1016 rows in TheTable and 69K rows in FKeyTable). The fast query doesn't have that warning, and shows 1016 rows (the # of rows in TheTable).
Does anyone know why the usage of a UDF would induce this horribly inefficient join behavior? Anything we can do to fix it?
Hello all. I hope someone can offer me some help. I'm trying to construct a SQL statement that will be run on a Dataset that I have. The trick is that there are many conditions that can apply. I'll describe my situation:
I have about 1700 records in a datatable titled "AISC_Shapes_Table" with 49 columns. What I would like to do is allow the user of my VB application to 'create' a custom query (i.e. advanced search). For now, I'll just discuss two columns; The Section Label titled "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" and the Weight column "W". The data appears in the following manner:
(AISC_Shapes_Table)
AISC_MANUAL_LABEL W W44x300 300 W42x200 200 (and so on) WT22x150 150 WT21x100 100
(and so on) MT12.5x12.4 12.4 MT12x10 10 (etc.)
I have a listbox which users can select MULTIPLE "Manual Labels" or shapes. They then select a property (W for weight, in this case) and a limitation (greater than a value, less than a value, or between two values). From all this, I create a custom Query string or filter to apply to my BindingSource.Filter method. However I have to use the % wildcard to deal with exceptions. If the user only wants W shapes, I use "...LIKE 'W%'" and "...NOT LIKE 'WT%" to be sure to select ONLY W shapes and no WT's. The problems arises, however, when the user wants multiple shapes in general. If I want to select all the "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" values with W <= 40, I can't do it. An example of a statement I tried to use to select WT% Labels and MT% labels with weight (W)<=100 is:
Code SnippetSELECT AISC_MANUAL_LABEL, W FROM AISC_Shape_Table WHERE (W <= 100) AND ((AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'MT%') AND (AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'WT%'))
It returns a NULL value to me, which i know is NOT because no such values exist. So, I further investigated and tried to use a subquery seeing if IN, ANY, or ALL would work, but to no avail. Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I know that if I can get an example of ONE of them to work, then I'll easily be able to apply it to all of my cases. Otherwise, am I just going about this the hard way or is it even possible? Please, ANY suggestions will help. Thank you in advance.
I want to update Flag column in second table based on the Adder names.
If the Applicatiion has atleast one AIX and Adder name is UDB then the flag would be True. If the Application has more the one AIX and Adder names are diferent then the flag would be null.

I am designing a dimension table which will include a short name column based on the (full) name column. For example say Product dimension where I will have ProductName and ProductShortName. ProductShortName will be the first 6 characters of ProductName. I could populate ProductShortName using:
Substring in the select when I select from the original system, e.g. SUBSTR(PRODUCT_NAME, 1, 6) AS ProductShortName
Create a derived column in the SSIS flow which does the same thing
Create the ProductShortName column as a computed column which uses substring on ProductName
Create a trigger that populates ProductShortName based on ProductName when a row is inserted or updated
Create a named calculation in the table in the Analysis Services project's data source view
Create a named query in the Analysis Services project's data source view
I usually use 1, and 5 or 6 would only be used if I only will create reports against the cubes. 3 seems easiest to maintain, so I am thinking about using that one, but maybe it is slow for the data flow as I imagine it must be something like using 4, or when is the column "created" at runtime, i.e. when the table is queried? Which approach(es) do or would you use? Pros and cons?
Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs. I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID. I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages. When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID). Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A B C D E F G H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
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!
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.
Here's one thats had me and a coworker puzzled. Hopefully it's something simple:
TABLE A: (log of messages) userid, int date, datetime message, varchar(50)
Table A Data: 1, 6/18/2008 @ 2:32:41, This is my message 1, 6/18/2008 @ 2:31:02, This is my message 1, 6/17/2008 @ 7:34:26, This is another message 2, 6/18/2008 @ 2:32:41, This is not his message 2, 6/16/2008 @ 11:21:32, This is my message
TABLE B: (List of users) userid, int name, varchar(100)
Table B Data: 1, John 2, Mike
I want to extract the most recent message logged per user, i.e.:
name | date | message --------|---------------------|------------------------- John | 6/18/2008 @ 2:32:41 | This is my message Mike | 6/18/2008 @ 2:32:41 | This is not his message.
I have been unable to come up with a query that can return just the one value. I've tried variants of:
SELECT DISTINCT b.name, a.date, a.message FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.userid = b.userid
including sub-queries and even played with the visual diagrams trying to design this in Enterprise Manager but none of the combinations I tried work. Is there an easy way to do this via a query? I don't have experience with stored procedures. Would that be necessary?
Hello~, The table has columns like this. ________________________________ time smalldatetime value1 int value2 int ----------------------------------------------------------
for example, .... '2006-11-16 12:00:00',100,200 '2006-11-16 13:00:00',110,210 '2006-11-16 14:00:00',120,220 ....
The record is inserted at every hour.
I want get daily,monthly,yearly average and display the result ordered by time.
I've managed to get my query to this: Product | Color | Votes ======== ======= ======= Bus Red 10 Bus Blue 5 Train Blue 1Car Red 1 Car Blue 1
I need the most popular color of the product based on the votes for each product, so MAX(Votes) GROUP BY Product solves the Bus and the Train, but I still need a result for the Car? Not really that bothered which Color is picked up, do I need to run another query, because I need another table to join to the results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete.
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.
