SELECT * FROM e_batch (INDEX=ebtgennumber, NOLOCK)
Msg 1018, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'INDEX'. If this is intended as a part of a table hint, A WITH keyword and parenthesis are now required. See SQL Server Books Online for proper syntax.
Why is this an error in SQL 2005? what is the correct syntax? I can not find anything in the HELP.
I am representing negative number within parenthesis , but as I am working on reporting service, it is possible to make the exact alignment of the number and parenthesis.
here is one example ....
when i format number with #,##,0;(#,##,0) i am getting output in a format in subsequent rows like
123,345
(145,567)
How can I make this alignment like
123,345
(145,567)
where the parenthesis will be outside the number space keeping in mind the alignment is in right .
any help will be apriciated.
thanks

Hi,
On x64 versions of Windows server 2003, there is a folder called "Program Files (x86)". The use of parenthesis in this name has caused a few issues so far, particularly with connecting SQL Server 2005 to Oracle using SSIS. After several hours of searching I realized that the parenthesis was causing it, and eventually I found that the best way is to avoid creating such a name while installing the OS itself, by using winnt.sif. This would be better than renaming it and changing registry entries after the installation is done.
I realize this may not be the best question to ask of Microsoft, but why not just call it "Program Filesx86" by default so no special procedure has to be done to get around these issues? The use of parenthesis is likely to cause even more compatibility issues with other software later?
BTW I use Microsoft products regularly and love most of them
We are storing changed data of tables into XML format for auditing purpose. The functionality is already achieved. We are using FOR XML Path clause to convert relational data of tables into XML format.
Now, a table is having column name with '(' . For example name of the column is, ColumnName(). In this case we can not convert into XML using For XML clause. Showing error as,
Column name 'columnName()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML; '(' (0x0028) is the first character at fault.

I am trying to implement a band search on my web site (concert listings) and would like it to behave a bit more intelligently than a standard match on the band name.
At the moment I have a stored procedure that just selects every show that features a band with exactly the same name as the search term. What I'm now trying to do is when the user enters a band name containing the '&' character I would also like to search using the word and 'and'. For example, if they search for 'Rise & Fall', they should get details on all shows featuring 'Rise & Fall' OR 'Rise And Fall'. Is it possible to do this within my stored procedure?
Greetings, I am a php developer, and running a little bit out of deadline in a project. Can someone provide me with a VERY simple way to implement search by keyword in C#? I have already implemented a search page (according to firstname, lastname etc) that works on a drop down menu (where you have the option to choose seach by keyword) . So, I need to change something in my SQL query to make this work. I already knew from my SQL experience that the simplest and probably the SLOWEST and MOST UN EFFICIENT one was using LIKE. I don't mind using it but I can't since I will end up having something close to that: SELECT * FROM users WHERE keyword_entered LIKE @keyword; (or '@keyword) which does not work. however SELECT * FROM users WHERE keyword_entered LIKE 'somename%'; does work! I guess the trick is in putting the % after the keyword. ( I would have done that in php by putting the entered keyword in a string and than add to it % and pass it to the SQL query and I dunno how to do that in .NET)any ideas?

I have a few classes representing my data layer for my ASP.Net 2.0 Web Application. For example, UserDAL, DocumentDAL, etc... All these classes derive from BaseDAL, which stores the SqlConnection in it. The DAL classes access it through a property. The property is defined like that:
private SqlConnection connection;public SqlConnection Connection{get{ if (connection == null) connection = new SqlConnection(); if (connection.State != ConnectionState.Open) { connection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString; connection.Open(); } return connection;}}
The constructor of each DAL class is overloaded and takes a SqlConnection object. So if I need to access two DAL classes, I pass the connection of the first, to the second to prevent opening and closing the connection again and again. Here is a sample: UserDAL userDAL = new UserDAL();
userDAL.DoSomethingAndAccessConnectionProperty();
// Now userDAL.Connection is opened. Pass the connection to the constructor of DocumentDAL
DocumentDAL documentDAL = new DokumentDAL(userDAL.Connection);
documentDAL.AlsoDoSomething();
So, if I do the following:using (UserDAL userDAL = new UserDAL())
{
userDAL.DoSomethingAndAccessConnectionProperty();
DocumentDAL documentDAL = new DokumentDAL(userDAL.Connection);
documentDAL.AlsoDoSomething();
}
I assume that the connection is removed from memory, even if the DocumentDAL class has also used it. Am I right? I want to be sure that there will be no open connections.Thanks
I have a sample photo database where we have added keywords to search for photos. I wanted a way to list all of the keywords that are in the database individually. The problem is in my keyword field there are many keywords seperated by a comma.
Ex: "bull, barrel, rodeo, western, cowboy" would in the keyword field for one photo.
I wanted to select distinct all of the individual words from each keyword field in all of the records.
Can this be done? What would the query look like?
I am looking for a list like:
bull
barrel
rodeo
western
cowboy
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob
If I use DISTINCT isn't there a rule where it must be the first field selected? Also, there can only be one DISTINCT field in a query, correct?
ie,
SELECT DISTINCT fieldA, fieldB
FROM tableA
but not
SELECT fieldA, DISTINCT fieldB
FROM tableA
or
SELECT DISTINCT fieldA, DISTINCT fieldB
FROM tableA
thanks again, this is a great forum

hi guys i have a query that contains several table joins
when i run the query without select distinct x,y,z,w,.. or order by docno it takes around 20 second to finish execution, when i add select distinct x,y,z,w,.. or order by docno it ruturns the same result in just 2 seconds
is adding distict keyword or order by acts as an index for the query or what ?
.
.

.
here is my query :
SELECT distinct p.indocno,p.CHAR_FIELD2_AR, p.CHAR_FIELD1, p.REVISION_NO, CAST(p.INDOCNO AS int) AS INDOCNO, p.CHAR_FIELD3, p.CHAR_FIELD7_AR, T.DESCRIPTION,J.DESCRIPTION AS [Section], p.SUBJECT
FROM dbo.TECHNICAL_MAIN p INNER JOIN
(SELECT MAX(revision_no) d, char_field1 c, char_field2_ar e, subcat_id j
FROM technical_main m
WHERE revision_no IN ('0', '1', '2')
GROUP BY char_field1, char_field2_ar, subcat_id) b
ON p.REVISION_NO = b.d AND p.CHAR_FIELD1 = b.c AND p.CHAR_FIELD2_AR = b.e AND p.REVISION_NO IN ('0', '1', '2')
INNER JOIN dbo.CUST_HIERARCHY_LOOKUP T ON p.CHAR_FIELD7_AR = T.ID
INNER JOIN dbo.CUST_HIERARCHY_LOOKUP J ON p.CHAR_FIELD3_AR = J.ID AND p.SUBCAT_ID = b.j
Good luck for all the folks
Hi all,
I have two datatables in my database. The first table, named Books, has two columns: BookID and Author (BookID is the primary key). The second table, named Purchases, has three columns: PurchaseID, BookID, BuyerID (Purchase ID is the primary key).
The idea here is that the Books datatable contains information regarding the book and its author while the Purchases datatable contains information on who has purchased what book.
Now, say I want to write an SQL query to extract a list of all the authors who have written a book purchased by buyer X. How would I go about doing this without having any duplicate entries? I figured that the following would work:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Books INNER JOIN Purchases ON Books.BookID=Purchases.BookID
But this ends up generating duplicate BookIDs if the Purchases table contains several buyers who have bought that Book. I know I could use BookID rather than * in the above query and that would work, but in reality I'm dealing with more complex tables and I would rather keep the * in there to actually get all the data out in one go.
and how do I write an if phrase?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to figure out the usage of "Nothing" as the scope parameter, and the more I try, the more I can confused.
It says on the RDL spec:
"For expressions inside data regions:
.......
Specifying the keyword Nothing as the scope is equivalent to specifying the
outermost data region containing the report item in which the aggregate is used."
It seems that what's it saying is that if I have an expression in a table as
= last(somefield, "the name of the table")
is the same as
= last(somefield,Nothing)
But, apparently it;s not. (I tried last, first,sum, count,CountRows, min, max...........)
it doesn't matter where I put "=last(somefield,Nothing)" in the table (i tried table header,footer, detail, and table group header, footer), none of them worked.
and I tried it everywhere in matrix, in charts.
It's just not working.
It always complains about the invalid scope not being the containing data region, containing grouping or dataset name.
However, the only way I get the "Nothing" as the scope to work is in a RunningValue function, not in any other
aggregate funcitons.
Anyone help me with this, please... I need a complete definition on the usage of Nothing as scope.
Hi,
I have a table like
ProductId, Description, Description2
where Description and Description2 are text datatypes.
I'm trying to return all records where myKeyword exists as a singular word in either of these two fields.
Should I create a child table where each word in each of these fields has its own row for each product and query against that or is there an efficient way of querying this result without creating the extra child table?
Many thanks for any pointers

I'm using an application that is generating some SQL scripts for SQL Server 2005. I'm trying tweak it so that I can run it on SQL Server 2000.
The line that I'm having trouble with is:
CREATE INDEX FKFFF41F9960601995 ON alf_access_control_entry (permission_id);(optional)
The key word "(optional)" is causing trouble.
I understand this keyword, when used in SQL Server 2005, let's the script continue and complete when errors are detected.
What is the alternative syntax to use in SQL Server 2000?
Thanks,

IS there ny substitute for this ?

Hello there.
I'm developing an eCommerce solutions based on the ASP.NET 2.0 Commerce Starter Kit, architechture. It uses the Provider Pattern. In my web-application, i use the CatalogProvider, to retrieve data from a SQL Server 2005 database. I call the methods through a handler class, whoch excists inside the WebApp. I also use a ShoppingCartProvider, OrdersProvider, ShippingProvider etc. in the same way.
In my Web.Config file, i have all the provers listed, and on each provider, the name of the connectionString to use are given.
My connection string looks like this:"connString" connectionString="Server=xxxx;Database=xxxx;Trusted_Connection=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
The problem is, that suddently, when browsing the website, that connects to the database through the providers, i get this error:
Keyword not supported: ',server'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: ',server'.Source Error:
Line 31: public static IDataReader GetProductsByCategory(int categoryID)

Line 34: }
Line 35:
Source File: d:DevelopmentASPNETSeoShopApp_CodeHandlersCatalogManager.cs Line: 33 Stack Trace:
If i then go back to my web.config file, and removes the providerName section, of the connectionString, the website works again, for a short period. When the error return, i undo the deletion of the providerName, and it will work again... For a short time...
I've also tried to use another connectionsString, like this:Data Source=Aron1;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI
But then the keyword which is not supported is: ', data source'
Does anyone know what the issue might be?
Thanks in advance...
I am using the top keyword as follows in the same SP. The select and the update statements are one below the other:
Select TOP(1) col1,col2 from table1 where col3='val1'
Update TOP(1) table1 set col2= 'val2' where col3='val3'
There is a primary key on the column which is not included in either the select or the update statement.
Can anyone confirm that the both the statments will return the same row?
