For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I want to do it using SELECT. Is it possible?
Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.

SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM STOCKS WHERE USER=@USER ORDER BY STOCK_NAME"
and @USER is set as a session parameter. No problem till this part, but in some postbacks, I wish to add a new WHERE criteria to my SQL, so I do:DSSQL.SelectParameters.Add("@STOCK_NAME", "ABC123");
DSSQL.SelectCommand = DSgvStoklar.SelectCommand.Replace(" ORDER BY ", " AND STOCK_NAME LIKE @STOCK_NAME+'%' ORDER BY ");
gridViewDS.DataBind();
and wish that my SelectCommand is modified and a new parameter is added.
The SQL is modified, however -I guess- new parameter is not added, so I get "Must declare the scalar variable "@STOCK_NAME" error.
How can I solve, any ideas?
Hi,In my stored procedure I'm doing a SELECT onINFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. However there is no unique id onthis table, so I was wondering if it was possible to add it dynamicallyin my SELECT, so that I would assign a unique id to each recordreturned by my SELECT?Thanks for your support.

I have to loop through each of the databases and find out if the database has a tablename with the word 'Documents'( like 'tbdocuments' or 'tbemployeedocuments' and so on......)
If the tablename having the word 'Documents' is found in that database i have to add a column named 'IsValid varchar(100)' against that table in that database and there can be more than 1 'Documents' table in a database.
can someone show me the script to do it?

SQL 2012 SSIS package.I have a package connection that has the initialcatalog set in the connection string/properties page. This package connection also has an expression defined to set the initial catalog at runtime according to a passed in parameter. It works fine.
I am trying to create a second package in this same manner, but the connection does not seem to want to keep both the hardcoded initialcatalog and the expression to set it dynamically.
I can hardcode the initcatalog just fine, when when I add the expression to set it dynamically later, it clears out the initialcatalog I added.
What am I missing, why was I able to do this in the other package? I compared as much as I can think of between the two packages, all seems similar.
I've seen several posts that begin to address this problem, but havenot found a simple, elegant solution that will accomplish this goal.The important part of this solution is that it must be completelydynamic - I have over 40 different categories of devices, each withdifferent fields, and each search will return only one category. Ihave no knowledge of the number or datatype of these field namesbeforehand and must use the sp to dynamically create the table and thentranspose the data.Here is an exampleI have normalized data in this format (this is a simplification)deviceId fieldName fieldValue1 color red1 shape square1 weight(kg) 2.02 shape round2 weight(kg) 1.53 color blue3 shape oval3 weight(kg) 1.0I would like to convert this to the format: (note that it must handlenulls - deviceId 2)deviceId color shape weight(kg)1 red square 2.02 round 1.53 blue oval 1.0Anyone with any thoughts on how best to accomplish this?thanks,Matt

how to dynamically create columns for a table
Hi everyone
Is it possible to search dynamically in table columns without using dynamic SQL (i.e. EXEC or sp_executesql)?
I wanna exec FREETEXT(<column_name>, @searchPhrase) by giving columns' names as paramater to stored proc. Is it possible to avoid using dynamic SQL?
Thanks in advance
I have a report that displays data based on the last 12 months. Is there a way I can order the columns (header and data) based on the month it was run. eg. If I were to run the report in March, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB
If run the report in April, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MAR
So, the columns in the report are always ordered (12 months backward) based on the month it was run.
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to dynamically delete all of the values for a group of columns. What I mean by this is that lets say a table (TableA) has five fields (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, and Field5) with 100 rows of data. I want to delete all of the data in Field1, Field2, and Field4. I do not want to delete any of the data in Field3 and Field5. I would then end up with a table with 5 fields and 100 row, but only 2 fields (Field3 and Field5) have data.
The catch is that I can't hardcode the field names of the fields I want to clear out (Field1, Field2, and Field4) into the SQL. This is because if any new fields are eventually added to the table I want them to be cleared out as well without modifying the SQL.
I can hardcode the field names of the fields that I want to keep values for (Field3 and Field5) in the SQL.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
I have a requirement where in I have to concatenate the fields based on their sequence given in another table along with respect to their lengths.
eg..
Input 1:
Table A: (below are the fields and their respective values, not all fields will have values)
-----------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR-->1234567890
LIFNR
VKORG-->a234
PRCTR
KUNRE-->4355325363
LIFRE-->88390234
PRODH
---------
Table BSadIt contains the same fields as in table A and will have sequence number in which the concatenation should happen. The length field(LEN) will have corresponding field lengths(pipe delimited) should be considered in concatenation)
---------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR-->1
LIFNR
VKORG-->3
PRCTR
KUNRE-->2
LIFRE -->4
PRODH
LEN--> 10|10|4|10
Expected Result:

Note: If the field length given in Table B doesn't match with actual size of the fields then, the field should be filled with 2 left spaces while concatenation.. Eg. In above example say LIFNR value = 88390234(len =icon_cool.gif
then after concat the value should be like below:
12345678904355325363a234 88390234
Note:The fields are not constant..I have around 40 fields like that in which any combination of fields can be possible...eg..

I am not sure which field has the value 1, 2 etc.. and how many fields are forming the combination..It can be sometimes 3/40 fields or it can be 10/40 fields...I have to dynamically get those values and concat...
I can have any number of fields for concatenation..above example is just for 4...it should be dynamic enough to handle any number of fields..
Hi,
I am wondering if someone has some experience with hiding columns in a Matrix report. I have got two details columns: "Yr to Yr Credits Growth€? and "Yr to Yr Credits Growth %" and those two columns return only one value "N/A" for the earliest year since there is nothing to compare to. Thus, I don't really need them for the earliest year. On top of detail columns, I have got three matrix groups: matrix1-Year, matrix1-Quarter and matrix-Date. Once those two detail columns are hidden, I would like obviously resize (shrink) those three matrix groups columns to reflect the fact that the detail columns were hidden.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a sproc that returns somevalues and everything is working fine... and in my reports i am assigning the header data (in a detail column) based on the some feilds in the sproc... and there around 20 feilds that i want to show... but at a given time i am pretty sure that there wont be more than 10 fields that will have data.
So is it possible that show only the columns that have data in it and sometimes if there is less that 5 - 6 fields.. i want to realign the widths in those tables..
any help is appreciated..
Regards
Karen
thanks

I have an OLEDB source that uses a stored procedure which pivots records and returns me data with columns which are dynamic (Changing every time). How can I export this data with dynamic number of columns to excel destination?

Can we do this?
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose

I have SSRS report that has around 80+ columns. I have requirement where in dynamically hideshow columns in report based on user selection. I could able to do it by setting expression for "Visiblity" property and having report parameter thro' which columns to display can be choosen.
My problem is 2 points
1. fox example if columns 2 and 4 to be hidden, then there is an empty column between 1 and 3 and 5 columns. How to avoid this
2. When i export to PDF / Excel these spaces prevail.
I have a scenario where we have to handle dynamically changing source columns.
For example , some times in the source files the number of columns will be increased or decreased, new columns can be added in the middle or in the end of the source file.
How to handle this kind of scenario in the SSIS ?
I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
I've created a SSIS package which takes a matrix from Excel file and insert into SQL table. It works perfectly! However, if I would add a new column into that matrix in Excel. Unpivot tool should take into process dynamically. Is there a way to provide this automatically?Â

As you can see, the above table has cumulative data.
1. It calculates the number of Products submitted till a particular date- weekly
2. The date columns should increase dynamically(if the dates in base table increases) each time the query is executed
For ex: the next date would be 11/28/2007
I tried something like, it gives me count of €˜b€™ level and €˜p€™ level products by week
declare @date1 as datetime
select @date1 = '6/30/2007'
while (@date1 != (select max(SDate) from dbo.TrendTable))
begin
set @date1 = @date1 + 7
select Level, count(Products)
from
dbo.TrendTable
where SDate < @date1
group by Level
end
what I think is required is a pivot that dynamically adds the columns for increase in date range.
/Pls suggest if any other way of achieving it.
Pls help!!!
Thanks & Regards
I am familiar with the ALTER TABLE syntax that can be used to add columns to an existing table, but the columns are appended to the end of the table. Enterprise Manager allows you to insert a column in the desired place in the table, but I suspect that behind the scenes it creates a temp table with the new structure, drops the old version of the table and renames the temp table to the orginal table name (I could be wrong on this).
Is there a way to insert a new column in a specific place in a table using SQL rather than EM?
