I need help identifying the following SQL. Sounds like a simple question, but I am new to this type of design and ad-hoc sql with no store procedures. Basically we have no stored procs and all the selects are siting in a table for retrieval.
Select Column1 from db where SomeColum = '{1}'
Can someone explain the '{1}' and is it similar to ?
Is It possible to pass a parameter using the where clause:
Select * from table where @parameter = @parameter1
hello. I have a database that a client developed that I need to pull data from. it consists of articles that fall into a range of 3 main categories. each article will have up to 7 different subcategories they fall into. I need to be able to sort by main category as well as by subcategory. But when I create the SQL query it gets really messy. I tried using WHERE Cat1= comm OR leg OR and so on, but there are seven categories so this gets very cumbersome and doesn't quite work. Is there a way to create an array or a subquery for this? I am a total newbie, so any help is much appreciated!
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor my reports I have a Sort By parameter which has 2 values - Customer Name & Customer Number. for my dataset I have added @SortBy as parameter and assigned the value = Parameter!SortBy.value.
In the query I want to set the Order By clause based on the user selection. eg.:
select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by @SortBy
However, I am unable to do this. I always get an exception for the order by clause no mater what. I have also tried the following queries in the query designer for the dataset customers but none of them work
="select * from dbo.customers where name " + @CustomerName + " order by " + @SortBy
select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by + @SortBy
I know that I can set the interactive sort on the column headers and the interactive sort works, but the customer wants to have the ability to set the Sort By using the dropdown list.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have my where clause as follows, but it's not working:
WHERE (WPID LIKE @WBS1 + '.' + CASE WHEN @WBS2 = '' THEN substring([Number], 4, 2) = __ ELSE substring([Number], 4, 2) = @WBS2 END CASE)
I give the user two paramters.
The first parameter is to populate the first two characters of a string. There is a "." then another two characters. What I'm trying to do is if the user types nothing in the second parameter, then I use the underscore characters so it can be any two characters. If they do enter two characters, then I want to use them for the 2nd part of the string, hence character 4 and 5.
Hi all,
if I have a SQL string that has an IN clause in its WHERE statement so that I only bring back rows for certains primary key values, how do I handle this with SQL Parameters without having to do any string concatenation?
Thanks in advance.
I need to filter my select statement with 2 parameters, each of which defaults to the "All" member. Some of the members may have spaces in the name.
So I need to handle something like these:
FROM MySalesCube
WHERE ( ... expression here ...)
The expression above needs to resolve to a set using both parameters
STRTOSET("[Dept].[Dept][" + @pDept + "] , [Salesperson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson + "]")
Running the query in SSMS, Im using something like this to test
WHERE ( [SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].&[17] , [Department].[Department].[All] )
I just need to use the above in an expression with parameters, where BOTH SalesPerson and Department could use a specific member OR use the All member.
[update]
Here is what I have now:
WHERE ( STRTOSET(CSTR("([SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson +"] , [Department].[Department].[" + @pDept + "])") ) )
If I hard-code @pDept to something in a string, it works ok, otherwise, I simply get an error
Good afternoon,
I'm trying to use a parameterin a way that RS seems to think is unnatural, and I'm wondering about a work around...
Normally I can use parameters like so:
select *
from foo
where fooValue > @myParameter
What I'd like to do instead is use a constant on the right of the predicate, and a parameter to define the column to measure against, like so:
select *
from foo
where @myParameter > 10
Or
select *
from foo
where @myParameter is not null
Any assist with this is greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Brian

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?
I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.
When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND
TrackID + 'x1' IN
(
SELECT
dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.
I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID
WHERE TrackID + 'x1' IN
(
SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1
)
2 examples:
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

I have a SSRS report with four parameters,and I want to be able to enter information for two of the parameters and run the report opposed to all four of them. However, when I select allow blanks and only select the parameters that I want to run the report by, the report come back blank..Essentially, I want to be able to the run report by different parameters without having to enter information for all parameters at the same time.

Hi,
What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?
eg :
SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5
SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5
I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.
Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.
Thanks,
Gopi.

hi..
i have basic question like
what is differance between conditions put in ON clause and in WHERE clause in JOINS????
see conditions that shown in brown color
select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)
select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitIDAND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)
another thing...
if we put AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitID condition in second query then shall we remove
d1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID from WHERE clause????
Hi everyone,
I saw some queries where SQL inner join clause and the where clause is used at the same time. I knew that "on" is used instead of the "where" clause. Would anyone please exaplin me why both "where" and "on" clause is used in some sql Select queries ?
Thanks
Hi,
I have an app in C# that executes a query using SQLCommand and parameters and is taking too much time to execute.
I open a SQLProfiler and this is what I have :
exec sp_executesql N' SELECT TranDateTime ... WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId',
N'@CustomerId nvarchar(4000)', @CustomerId = N'11111
I ran the same query directly from Query Analyzer and take the same amount of time to execute (about 8 seconds)
I decided to take the parameters out and concatenate the value and it takes less than 2 second to execute.
Here it comes the first question...
Why does using parameters takes way too much time more than not using parameters?
Then, I decided to move the query to a Stored Procedure and it executes in a snap too.
The only problem I have using a SP is that the query can receive more than 1 parameter and up to 5 parameters, which is easy to build in the application but not in the SP
I usually do it something like
(@CustomerId is null or CustomerId = @CustomerId) but it generate a table scan and with a table with a few mills of records is not a good idea to have such scan.
Is there a way to handle "dynamic parameters" in a efficient way???
Hello:
I just recently bumped into this problem and I think I know what's causing it. This is the setup:
Report Parameters: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice, Manager, SalesRep
dsCalendarEvents Parameters: FromDate.Value, ToDate.Value, DivisionalOffice.Value,
dsDivisions Parameters: N/A
dsManager Parameters: DivisionalOffice.Value
dsSalesRep: DivisionalOffice.Label
When I query the ReportServices WS and scan the parameter dependencies for SalesRep it says there are four dependencies: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice and Manager!!!
If I change "dsSalesRep" to use "DivisionalOffice.Value" the ReportingServices WS parameter dependency scan returns only one dependency for "SalesRep" parameter!!!( This is the correct behavior )
Has anybody seen this behavior and more importantly, is there a work around?
Regards,
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello all,
Given:
string commandText = "Categories_Delete";SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
Is there a reason NOT to use myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryID",CategoryID); I'd prefer to use that over myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = CategoryID; as I have these functions being created dynamically and hope to get away from a big lookup to try to convert System.Types into SqlDbTypes. [shudder]
It seems that ADO.NET makes an implicit conversion to the valid type. If this is correct then I can move on fat dumb and happy. Anyone have any good insight?

Hey guys, I'm a bit weak when it comes to doing ands and or's. I know what i want, but when I put it into statement, i dont get the results that i want.
I have 3 fields in my where clause. ID, LW, and LWU. The code is as follows:WHERE (LASTVISIT BETWEEN '1 / 1 / 95 12 : 00 : 00 AM' AND '1 / 1 / 06 12 : 00 : 00 AM') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%6%') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%7%') AND (ID NOT LIKE '%8%') AND (LW <> 1) AND (LWU <> 'test') OR (LASTVISIT BETWEEN '1 / 1 / 95 12 : 00 : 00 AM' AND '1 / 1 / 06 12 : 00 : 00 AM') AND (ID IS NULL) AND (LW <> 1) AND (LWU <> 'test')
I have a range of dates that I want to grab, in there I do not want any records where ID has 6,7,8 and I only want records where LW does not equal 1. UP to this point, it works fine. I get all the records that only return these values. However, the moment I add where LWU does not equal 'test'. it does not return the values I want. Furthermore, why can I not put this whole string into one and clause? I never understood why I had to create a second line following OR. the longer this query gets the more I get confused. Any help?
I have an insert statement that reads:
SELECT AppointmentID, PatientNo, PatientSurname, PatientForename, ConsultantName, HospitalName, Date, CONVERT (varchar, Time, 8), AppointmentStatus FROM [Appointment] WHERE ([AppointmentId] = @AppointmentId)
I also need to add another WHERE clause. This clause will mean that if the date is within 14 days of the actual date it will not ba able to be selected need help writing this not sure how to write it
Thanks in advance Mike.
I'm having a heck of time with this where clause. I have a table that contains client addresses, a client can have more than one address. So some of the addresses may be seasonal. I need to return only the current address based on a flag MailTo (bit) and a date range, just the month and day, the start and end are datetime datatypes.
Here is what i have tried:
I would really would like it to work on a range of month and day based on the startdate and enddate fields and the MailTo flag.
The table looks like this;
tblClientAddresses:
Address_ID,Client_ID,Address,Address2,City,State,Zip,Country,AddressType,StartDate,
EndDate,MailTo
WHERE (A.MailTo=1) AND (A.EndDate Is Null OR DatePart(mm,A.Enddate) >= DatePart(mm,GETDATE()) AND DatePart(dd,A.Enddate) >= DatePart(dd,GETDATE()))
Thank you for any help!

we trying to use a UDF in Where Clause. This is taking too much of time. when we replaced the UDF with a subquery the query is fast.
Eg:
select Name, Designation, Address From Employee Where dbo.GetAge(EmpId) > 25
This is taking very long to fetch 12 records from 22,00,000 records.
When the same query has been converted to
select E.Name, E.Designation, E.Address From Employee E Where (select datediff("YY", EP.DOB, GETDATE()) from EmpPersonaldetail EP where EP.Empid= E.EmpId)
this gets executed very fast.
What could be the reason?
Pls help.
