What The Equivalent Command IN SQL SERVER EXPRESS To POSTGRESQL BEGIN ROLLBACK And COMMIT
Jun 27, 2007Hello,
First of all, this is my first time using SQL SERVER 2005 express, before that i'm using POSTGRESQL database.
I would like to know how what's the equivalent command for "BEGIN","ROLLBACK","COMMIT", these are the POSTGRESQL COMMAND use to start transaction, rollback transaction and commit transaction.
Example when i use this kind of command is . I need to insert data into 3 table. before insert into table1, i issue "begin", start to insert data into table1, if table1 no error, then i proceed to table 2 and table3. if table2 and table3 no error. then issue "commit" to commit the changes. but if any error happen between table1 and table 2 or table 2 and table3, i will issue "rollback" to roll any changes that i make to table1, table2 and table3.
Maybe some one can teach me how to achieve using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS.
Thanks and Regards.

Help With SUBSTR Syntax
Dec 21, 2004I need help with my statement using the SUBSTR. ( And this is not the MS SQL - but some flavor like it that we use on our AS400)
SELECT DISTINCT codstrctn, coacctno, cosrvlcn, losrvlctyp, losrvlcsts,
losrvlcnm, losrvlcnml, losrvlc, losrvlcn1, losrvlctyn,

cbblnmln1 CONTAINS 'SCHLOTSKY' AND racurr='C' AND
SUBSTR(losrvlcstc,2,2) IN('GA','TX')
GROUP BY
HAVING
UNION
ORDER BY
I'm sure I haven't told you enough. I'm trying to write a query that will allow me to put in a number of different states for each search, so that I don't have to write additional lines for every state. So I'm taking a stab at doing this and it didn't return any data. Yet if I take out the statement about the SUBSTR it returns data. So can any one please set me in the right direction.
Thanks . . .

SET sam_id = replace(sam_id,sam_id,'SF'||substr(sam_id, 3, length(sam_id) - 3));

Aug 15, 2006Recently, my company's deveolpment machine crashed. We had to format the harddrive which meant we lost some of our databases.
We managed to restore the databases, but we do not know in what state, i.e. which stored procedures were written between the restore point and the point the machine crashed.
Tow questions related to this:
1. I was wondering if there is any product that is similar to soursesafe but appied to databases, so that this problem will not happen again. Does Enterprise manager do something like this?
2. I was also wondering if there was anyway to undo an sql command. e.g. my colleague recently ran a command to update a database, but forgot to write the where clause!! That data was recovered aswell, but it would be nice to have some sort of undo button.
Thanks in advance.

IIF Statement Equivalent
Feb 22, 2008Hello,
I'm creating a view in SQL and am looking for something equivalent to the IIF ststement in Access.
Basically I want to create 2 new columns, which are based on the result of 1 of the other columns.
So if in my columns I have :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO
11 - Fred - 0 - 09:00 - 10:30
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30
etc, etc, etc
I want to add the first new column saying something along the lines of "If Flag = 0 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
and then add a second column saying "If Flag = 1 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
Therefore the above would show :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO - NEWCOL1 - NEWCOL2
11 - Fred - 0 - 10:00 - 10:30 - 0:30 - Null
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30 - Null - 4:00
etc, etc, etc
This in turn would give me 2 new columns which would show value 1 and value 2 - 1 being where the flag is not checked, and 2 being where the flag is checked.
Does this make sense ?
Ms Sql Equivalent Of This Oracle
Feb 4, 2006Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish
View 6 Replies View RelatedRight Padding Equivalent
Jun 28, 2006Hi everyone,Please excuse me if this has been asked before or sounds a bit dim.This is a question asked on another forum but the solutions beingoffered are focussing on programming rather than letting the DB serverdo the work, which I'm not sure is the most efficient solution.However, my confession is I dont use SQL server so can't help themdirectly with the syntax. Hopefully you can help me help them and learna little about SQL Server in the process.Trying to right pad a first name field so the padded string is a totalof 30 chars. It will be output concatenated with the last name field,and each field separated with a "|". So that when output it readssomething like:fname | mylastnameSyntax given was:select id,substring((last_name+','+rtrim(' '+isnull(level,'))+''+rtrim(isnull(first_name,'))+space(30)),1,30)+ ' | ' as student_namefrom studentIssue: It appears this is padding correctly but the spaces are notrendering in the browser. (I have no way to check this as I don't usesqlserver. However, I can understand that multiple spaces are not goingto render in the client browser, if indeed the query is padding withspaces.Question: Instead of using space(), can replicate() be used and aunicode space representation rather than an actual space be used? Or,is there a better way that will ensurethe padding shows in browser?I guess a fixed width font would also need to be used otherwise the30-char blocks could wind up being different widths, which would defeatthe purpose.If there is something I've missed, or you have any suggestions, I'mkeen to learn.TYhanks in advance,Lossed
