Question On String Comparison In SELECT Statements

question on string comparison in SELECT statements

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off, this is not the standard problem that can be solved by using:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE string LIKE '%abcd%'

It's actually sort of the opposite of that. I'm looking for a query that can take a string variable and will return only rows where the complete string in the relevant column is a string of the variable passed to the query. So for instance, if the variable passed was 'abcd' then...

rows containing only these strings in the relevant column would be returned:

'abcd'

rows containing these strings in the relevant column would NOT be returned:
'abcdefg'
'abcdxyz'
'abcd1234'
'abcde'
'af'
'hijk'

Is there a way to do this with a MySQL query?

Thanks in advance.

Select A Bunch Of Statements

I want to select a bunch of records where a certain field is equal to the following.
Code:

if game <> "" thensql = "SELECT DISTINCT game, system FROM wallpaper WHERE system = 'ps2' AND system = 'gba' AND system = 'gf' AND system = 'xbox' AND system = 'xbox360' AND system = 'gba' AND system = 'ds' AND system = 'pc' AND system = 'psp' AND system = 'ps3' ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 0, 10"
Set rschanmedia = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rschanmedia.Open sql, conn, 3, 3

The script works fine but when I run it it doesn't display any records at all! Yet when I run a script where system is <> to something it works fine! What's wrong?

GetRows And Insert/Select Statements

I'm using an SQL statement like the following:

Code:

INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES (value) SELECT @@IDENTITY AS NewIdent;

If I run it through a command prompt (osql.exe) it works fine - it inserts the data and returns the new identity. However, when I try to pass this through my nifty GetRows() function the stupid thing chokes (it acts like a normal INSERT statement has been passed - "ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0E78) Operation is not allowed when the object is closed." on the line where I try to execute GetRows).

I've looked through my ADO documentation and don't see any reason why this should be happening (since it does return data). Due to the small amount of data, I'm going to just use a plain old RecordSet object, but for my own piece of mind does anyone know why it won't treat the returned @@IDENTITY variable like normal data?

Create SQL String With Multiple Select Boxes

I am working with an ASP app that creates reports based on data in an SQL Server 200 database. There is a web form with select boxes for the user to select their criteria, and based on that an SQL SELECT statement is generated.

One of the requirements is that some fields need to be multiple selections. The output of these fields are in CSV format (One, Two, Three). These values are all alphanumeric, NOT just numeric....

Comparison

i am trying to get a piece of code that will check a value and then act accordinly - the usual thing with a For loop enclosing IF THEN ELSE loops - heres what i have
Code:

FOR removecounter = 1 to 15
IF removecounter = Session("newoptions") THEN
response.write "THEY ARE THE SAME - NOTHING TO CHANGE<br />"
ELSE
IF removecounter < Session("newoptions") THEN
response.write " NOTHING TO CHANGE <br />"
ELSE
' the only other thing it can be is > Session("newoptions")
response.write "BLANKING THE UNUSED<br /> "
END IF
END IF
NEXT


the Session("newoptions") is a value between 1 and 15 - i simply dont understand why this thing doesnt work

Comparison Using Loop

I am doing a scheduling system. The concept i have but i am weak in my programming, therefore i hope that u all can help me on this.

i have a capacity (uph x shift x 7.17) and orderperday (total orderqty per month / total shift per month)

the thing that i am not sure in is, i want to do a comparison it is becoz there is a capacity limit per day. i cannot afford 2 produce overlimit. so if the orderperday > capacity then orderperday - capacity = balance. balance will be bring forward to the next day to produce. then the comparison will be done again. i am not certain on how to do the looping in this context.

IP Range Comparison

I need to compare an IP address to a database that contains ranges for each byte in a potentially "valid" IP.

Columns in the msSQL db are IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4.

The problem is that one entry in the database may have a range. If I were to query all four columns and concatenate the data, I may get something like this:

12.35.124.12-89

So if a user sends me 4 variables (1 for each byte in IPv4) over a form, how I would I begin to compare this data?

Date Comparison

I have problem regarding the Dates. I am storing Expiry date of the item in DB as varchar since I want date to display in the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM.

From user I am taking expiry date in dd/mm/yy hh/mm format and then using toLocaleString() function to convert it into string to store in Database. This function stores date in the format

Sunday, May 1, 2005 10:00:00 AM.

Now at the time of displaying items I am comparing this date to current date. I want to display items which has Expiry Date greater than today�s date. But it is not giving proper result. It is showing items whose expiry date is previous than today�s date. So not showing the desired result.

Date Comparison

I'm comparing a date held in a string with a date held in an access database using an SQL query. However despite tests in which the string and the date held in the database are exactly the same, no matches are found.

Here is my SQL query:

SELECT id, TimesheetDate FROM Timesheets WHERE TimesheetDate=VarDate

The format of the date in the database and the format of the string are exactly the same.

I understand this is because the VarDate variable is a string and not comparable so how do translate the string into a date format the database can make a comparison with? I've tried using CDate() with no luck.

Date/Time Comparison With If Then...

I'm looping through database results where I have a date time field in the format: 9/2/2007 6:28:53 AM. What I'm trying to do is flag entries that are within the next 12 and 24 hours with a different color. I'm doing this currently with a counter field on another project like this:

PMCOLOR = "#000000"
If cLng(rs("target_current_value")) > cLng(rs("target_value"))- 2800 Then
PMCOLOR = "#FF0000"
End If
If cLng(rs("target_current_value")) > cLng(rs("target_value"))- 1400 Then
PMCOLOR = "#FF9900"
End If

This turns the line red if the current value is within 1400 of target and orange if its within 2800 of target. I want to do exactly the same thing with the date/time field flagging entries red if they are within 12 hours of the current time/date and flagging them orange if they are within 24 hours of current date/time.

I'm not sure how to break down the time and date and compare them to the current time and date, though. Its easy with integers.

Date Comparison Quirk

I had a script set up to create a redirect until a certain date, and I
left the script in there after that date thinking it would just be
dormant until I changed the date parameters.
To my surprise, it started redirecting again. I must not be clear on how
dates work.
Here is the very simple code:

<%
if date < "8/20/2005" then
response.redirect(url)
end if
%>

Problem With Data Comparison

I have a site where I need to compare the current date with the clients wedding date. (ie: 3/09/2005 with a wedding date like 6/15/2006) Here is what I'm using now.

CIExpires = DateDiff("d",CurrentDate,WeddingDate)

It will give me either a positive or negative number. I then just use this to either show or hide a link.

If CIExpires <= 0 Then

'don't show link

Else

'show link

end If

What is the best way to do this? The one above just doesn't work.

If Statements

I didn't really get a direct answer in the .net forum so I guess I'll just post it here where it should be anyway. Instead of .net I'm just going to probaly stick with 3.0. I want to have several different templates for users to browse a site in.

Since I can't use include files in ASP is there a way I can ONLY load coding in an if statement as it applys to that certain user? I want to enclose multiple images and coding into one file but only load the ONE image/code that pertains to the user. Is this possible using if statements?

ASP And SQL Statements

I have a (hopefully) simple question that has been giving me some problems. I'm trying to use a simple Select statement to access some data in an access database. In access, the sql statement is as follows:

SELECT TPL_Checklist_Master.[1] From TPL_Checklist_Master

However, when I try to do this on an ASP Page, it always causes an error. I'm assuming this is because of the [] around the field name 1. (I would change the field names, but I don't have control over that).

I know when trying to use a * in the statement Where field LIKE 'A*' I needed to replace the * with a %. I was wondering if something similar had to be done in this case.
I hope my description is clear enought to follow.
