Very Very Long SELECT Statement
Aug 17, 2007
I have SELECT statement that is several thousands of characters long - i'm declaring many tables, columns, and I have many aliases to deal with as well. Is there any way I can break it up into multiple lines? The only two things I could think of were using " + " . . . " + " . . . " or simply doing nothing and just dividing it into separate the lines. By the way, is there a limit to how long a SQL statement can be. I have been finding different answers when searching online.

Hello..
The first problem:
I have 2 tables in MS SQL database: topicstbl and txtfilestbl. And every one have column topicID.
And in both I have fulltext column I want to search in it; but in the first one I want to search in the fulltext column (topicflds) and also in normal columns (topicname and topicsn)
I need to search in these tables and get the (topicID) column as result by 1 table without repeated results.
I tried this code:
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM (SELECT topicID, 255 as RANK FROM topicstbl WHERE topicname like '%search word%' or topicsn like '%search word%') AS KEY_TBL
UNION
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM topicstbl AS topicstbl INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(topicstbl, topicflds, 'search NEAR word') AS KEY_TBL ON topicstbl.topicID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
UNION
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM txtfilestbl AS txtfilestbl INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(txtfilestbl, txtfile, 'search NEAR word') AS KEY_TBL ON txtfilestbl.txtfileID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
But the problem is the result table has repeated records (same topicID, different Rank Value).
Also I used "SELECT DISTINCT" but same problem.
The second problem:
I want to merge the previous code with ROW_NUMBER code to get results between x and y.
Like this code:
WITH OrderedOrders AS (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (order by topicID DESC) as RowNumber
FROM topicstbl)
SELECT * FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber between 1 and 50
But without change the first order.
Now how to do all these??!

Hi All,
Scenario:
There are two applications running on different server say ServerA and ServerB. Both applications are using same database server SQL Server 2005 say ServerB. Called the application as ApplicationA and ApplicationB with respect to Server names
It means for ServerA the database is remote and for ServerB, database is local.
Both the applications are Java application and using datasource to connect to the database. The driver used are SQL Server 2000 driver (which includes 3 jars). This can be a question that why 2000 driver is used for 2005. The reason is, application on ServerA is getting error while using SQL Server 2005 as Driver not proper.
Problem Area:
When ApplicationB (local to database) is doing some DB operations (which includes select and then batch insert), ApplicationA (remote) is trying to insert a record which is taking too long time (around 40 sec.). This is causing timed out in ApplicationA.
ApplicationA is inserting the data into the same table from where ApplicationB is selecting the data.
Any help????
Cheers

I have several reports that are looking for a code within a certain set of codes or ranges. The specific list of codes to be including is determined by the end user. Currently my "IN" statement can be a hundred lines, listing several ranges, lists of specific codes, etc. I am constantly getting asked what codes does it include, is this code included, etc. Sometimes they'll give me a printed 10 page list of codes and want me to compare to what I have included in the report. Not ideal in the slightest.
What I'd like to do is have a table or a file of some kind somewhere where the end user can view the codes contained, add new ones, and delete ones they no longer want. Then I'd like to be able to just reference that file in my IN statement. Leaving the responsibility of listing the correct codes on them.

Actually it's not a long jump competition but this is the easiest way to visualize it. I've been playing in the SQL sandpit for too long on this one and frankly I'm stumped! Decided to take a leap and post the query here.
Athletes take several jumps, each recording a distance; hence a row in the table consist of athlete and distance, (number of attempts is irrelevant.)
I need a select statement that will return the top jumpers.
ie. here is the resulting top 3

8.53 Adam Brown
8.14 Ian White
I hope this makes sense. Any takers?

Hi,
Let's assume the client code call a stored procedure which reads: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE ID < 100. Let's assume that for whatever reason, the query becomes very slow and takes 60 seconds to complete. This 60 secs, could be the time for the DB engine to fetch all the rows (happening before returning the resultset to client code), or during the transfer of the resultset to client code (slow network throughput).
Question1: could this prevent another user from doing SELECT on myTable? (could be onn different ID or even overlapping the ID between 1 and 100).
Question2: could this prevent another user from performing write (UPDATE/DELETE) on the rows with ID between 1 and 100?
Question3: can another user perform a write (INS, DEL, UPD) on rows outside of the ID between 1 and 100?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Yesterday, we have had a sudden load in our SQL Server 2000 which resulted in several locks. There was not too much time to investigate as we had to rush. A team member had reviewed the processes in EM, Manegement, Current Activity. Looking for blocking processes and killed them.
She told me that as soon as the blocking SPID was killed, another one arose and she had to repeat the operation a dozen of time. When done, the server activity was back to normal. She noticed that more than half of the blocking processes showed that they executed the stored Proc "P_SearchProducts".
We don't own the server and the information on what had happened at that time (batches or resource intensive operations, etc.) is not available for now.
The team suggests that we set the Transaction Isolation Level to Read UNCOMMITTED for this SP. I would like to know better about locks before I go ahead.
P_SearchProducts returns 5 recordsets each one could contains from 1 to 200 rows. To achieve the results, it creates about 10 intermediate tables (SELECT ... INTO #TableX) these temp tables are then used progressively to arrive to the final results. Roughly the volume of these temp tables could be double than the final results. The developer who wrote this SP is not a guru in SQL, there is room for improvement. But here are my questions:
Q1. Could the series SELECT ... INTO #TableX in P_SearchProducts prevent or lock another connection from executing the same SP? If yes, under which conditions?
Q2. Let's assume that P_SearchProducts has a slow execution time. Could it prevent another connection from updating the Product table? And thus leading to a deadlock situation? Something like another transaction (by User2) has obtained lock on most of Product tables, except the Product table which were being slowly read by User1 executing P_SearchProducts. But User1 cannot read the other product tables b/c there are locks by User2.
Q3. If the contention issue was provoked by the slow execution time of many request to exec
P_SearchProducts (let's assume there were suddenly 50 users on the web hitting the search product feature at the same time). Could the Read Uncommitted magically resolve the contention issue, providing we accept the consequences of the dirty read.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance for any help.

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'

WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
INTO AuxiliaryTable
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810
8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------

I am using three tables in this query, one is events_detail, one is events_summary, the third if gifts. The original select statement counted the number of ids (event_details.id_number) that appear per event_name (event_summary.event_name).
Now, I would like to add in another column that counts the number of IDs that gave a gift who attended an event that were also listed in the event_ details table. So far I have come up with the following. My main issue is linking the subquery properly back to the main query. how to count in the sub-query and have the result placed within the groups results in the main query.
SELECT es.event_name, es.event_id, COUNT(ed.id_number) Number_Attendees,
(
SELECT COUNT(gifts.donor_id) AS Count2
FROM gifts
WHERE gifts.donor_id = ed.id_number
) subquery2

Hi All,
Can some one point me in the right direction in how to construct my SQL query within my cursor?
I Have got a cursor which i am using to iterate through a table, What i am trying to do is in my statement(used to open the cursor) is compare 2 tables (the one which my cursor is iterating) to see if there is a matching row in the other table (using both tables ID's Like So:
SELECT column_List
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1_id = Table2_id
so for each row my cursor checks if there is a corresponding match in table2... but i would like to write to an error log
and do other statements if there is no match
how do i add this condition to my statement either using an if...else statement proceeding to the next row?
here is the statment i attempted to write:
SELECT column_List
FROM table1
WHERE
Table1_id = Table2.id
now i want to incoporate the statements below into the statement above as a condition when table1.id <> table2.id
IF table1.id <> table2.id
BEGIN
SET @DebugMessage = 'data not live.'
RAISERROR (@DebugMessage, 16, 1) WITH LOG
END
essentially what i am trying to sayin my statement is:
go to the first row
check if it has a match in table 2,
if there is no match execute a number of statements such as error loging e.t.c
go to the next row
repeat the previous statements
...i also looked through some Case...When statements am just not sure how to put in the condition
thanks in advance
