Aliases && Columns Name W/ Spaces
Oct 5, 2006
Formatting question. The query below is failing on the columns with spaces in the name. I've tried brackets and single quotes with no luck. How should this be formatted?
----------------------------
SELECT x.trkuniq, s.mstuniq, t.meetuniq,
c.coursec AS Course_Code,
c.descript AS Course_Name,
[q.cactus #] AS Cactus_#
s.sectionn AS Section,
RTRIM(f.lastname) + ', ' + RTRIM(f.firstname) AS Teacher, f.funiq,
t.termc AS Term_Code, zd.cycldayc AS Day,
zp.periodc AS Period, zp.periodn,
p.schoolc AS School
FROM mstmeet t INNER JOIN
mstsched s ON t.mstuniq = s.mstuniq INNER JOIN
trkcrs x ON s.trkcrsuniq = x.trkcrsuniq INNER JOIN
course c ON x.crsuniq = c.crsuniq INNER JOIN
track p ON p.trkuniq = x.trkuniq INNER JOIN
facdemo f ON s.funiq = f.funiq INNER JOIN
courses q ON c.coursec = [q.course number] INNER JOIN
trkper zp ON t.periodn = zp.periodn AND
x.trkuniq = zp.trkuniq INNER JOIN
trkcycle zd ON t.cycldayn = zd.cycldayn AND
x.trkuniq = zd.trkuniq

is it possible to assign a numeric value as a column alias:
select ... as 1234 from ...
does not work.

I have the following query
SELECT [KPI].*
FROM
OPENQUERY(LINKED_OLAP,'SELECT
HEAD(TAIL(DESCENDANTS
(TAIL([Time].[CalendarMonth].[Year],1), [Time].[CalendarMonth].[Month]),4),3) ON COLUMNS,
([Game].[Game Code].&[1] ,
[Code] ...
The last three columns are dynamically generated because they change during time. Next month they will be different.
I like to introduce aliases for them and to have them in the select as 'TWO_MONTHS_AGO','ONE_MONTH_AGO', 'CURRENT_MONTH'
I wonder if exists something like [KPI].(0), [KPI].(1), and etc.. of the OPENQUERY to get the selected columns by their ordering number...

Hi All,
For €œnvarchar€? column if we pass the value as spaces, then it stores as space.
Eg:
declare @path nvarchar(50)
set @path = ' '
select '=>' + @path + '<='
Is there any setting / configuration that will force it to automatically trim the spaces and store it as null?
Thanks in Advance,
Palani

FROM property,

I tried to get rid of :
code_table country,
code_table prop_role
and put "state" in any line that referenced:
code_table country,
code_table prop_role
to see if the query worked the same, but I different results. Why?

Does anyone know of a neat way of aliasing tables in MS SQL Server 2000? I have a table [X] and I want to refer to it (in TSQL statements, stored procedures, etc.) by two names, say [X] and [Y]. There should be only one copy of the table's data.
I could handle this in my site logic (ie convert [Y] to [X]), but it would be really clean to handle this in the database.
Thanks for your advice.

I'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
Derrick

Hi,
I’m working with a really old design migrated to SQL 2005, in which I basically have two tables…
Table 1 contains all the “proper” data, and has columns called: col_1, col_2, col_3
Table 1’s data is something like:
col_1, col_2, col_3
Jack,jack@yahoo.ca,Toronto
Jill,jill@hotmail.com,Montreal
Table 2 contains meta-data for Table 1, specifically, it has two columns: column, meta-data
Table 2’s data is something like:
column,metadata
col_1,name
col_2,email
col_3,city
(Hopefully, my description of the design makes sense….basically; Table 2’s data describes what’s in each column of Table 1).
So, the question, if I want to write a ‘SELECT’ on Table 1, how can I use the data in Table 2 as aliases (or column) headers.
I’m currently going down the path of building dynamic SQL statements in T-SQL….but before I get too far, wanted to vet this idea here (it’s always been a fantastic resource for me)
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to create SQL Server aliases for Itanium servers?
Alternatively does anyone know how to use SMO to create a SQLAliasCollection for a specific server? I can't seem to find how to get that collection.
I've added aliases that work for 32 bit applications but they don't seem to be used for 64 bit applications.

I have been working with SQL for quiet a while but think this perhaps is a very basic question that has always escaped me:
At my work I was exposed to both, MS SQL Server 2000 and Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere/Sybase SQL Anywhere.
Under Sybase I was able to use aliases in other calculations and filters but i have never been able to do the same with SQL.
Example:
In Sybase I can write this:
Select Price * Units as Cost Cost * SalesTax as TotalTaxFrom Invoice Where TotalTax > 3.5
However if i want to do this in MS SQL 2000 i have to go trough
Select
Price * Units as Cost
Price * Units * SalesTax as TotalTax
From Invoice
Where (Price * Units * SalesTax) > 3.5
In the long run this is costing me a lot of code redundancy, not to mention a debugging nightmare. Is there a way to replicate this alias usage in MS SQL Server?

I need to write a query with the following joins:
TableX.X1 = TableY.Y1
TableX.X2 = TableY.Y2
What is the proper way to do this in SQL? Would it be:
select x.*
from TableX x
join TableY y1 on y1.Y1 = x.X1
join TableY y2 on y2.Y2 = x.X2
Is there a more proper way to do this without creating multiple aliases of the same table?

Just stumbled over the interesting bug -
if you have an SQLExpress server and the "allow remote connection" in SQL Instance is turned ON, it doesn't means that it works if you create some aliases for this instance
If Im trying to connect to SQLExpress via new created alias ('localhost' for example) I got the "SQL Server does not allow remote connections" error. Albeit, connecting to ".SQLExpress" is successful.
I've checked the properties of locahost DB instance in SQL Management Studio - remote connection is allowed.
I've restarted the SQLExpress instance.
There is no SQLServer or other instances on my PC
But it doesn't work
How to fix this and allows to connect to sql instance via aliases?

HI,
I have a view where I want to add Rundate and Prev Month Rundate as computed columns to simplify my joins and calculations.
Rundate will be a select from another table that has a list of rundates for each month like this.
SELECT MAX(fm_dateend)
FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth
WHERE fm_dateend <= getdate()) AS smalldatetime) AS CurrRunDate
Now, I want to add Prev Month Rundate on the basis of CurrRunDate but it does not accept CurrRunDate. The query is like this
SELECT MAX(fm_dateend)
FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth
WHERE fm_dateend < CurrRunDate) AS smalldatetime) AS PrevMonthRunDate
Can anyone help me to work around with the alias as I dont like to put a whole bunch of code inplace of CurrRunDate(Alias).
Thanks,
Shariq

I have a question regarding the nature of virtual sql servers, specificially what protocol is used to communicate to the server when a request is made by a client.
For example, if a scheduled job is run on the virtual sql server, what determines the protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipes etc.) by SQL Server agent? Is it the client network alias set up on the virtual server?
I am asking because currently the client aliases on some of our virtual sql servers are using named pipes and I think this is causing a problem with our backups.
Thanks,
Adrian.

Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

Hi,
I am building my insert statements dynamically and am finding that there are spaces after certain integer fields.
example Insert Table A (col1, col2, col3)
values (1 ,'2',3 )
If col1 and col3 are integer fields, is there any affect to either how the value is stored or how it will be retrieved when the table is used in a join. By inspecting the values in the table, it seems fine. Do I need to worry?
Thanks,
Jim

I need this to return the correct length including the space that on the end. I thought it was an ansi_padding problem but even turning padding on results in a 0 length. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am tring to join two tables. There is one problem of course. There is one column I would be able to join the two tables by. This column would be Loc_Code. The only problem is that both columns are not exactly the same. They look like this:
Table 1 Table 2
Loc_Code Loc_Code
A 12345 A12345
A 12346 A12346
A 12347 A12347
A 12348 A12348
I need to erase the spaces that exists in the Loc_Code column in table 1 so that I can join with table 2.
All help would be appreciated.
