Hey Folks,
I have a View that I'm using to power a Crystal Report. I want to include an extra column that will be a string containing all the values from a single column of another table, seperated by comma.
So for example:
Project | Staff
----------------------
TestProject1 | "Jonathan, Greg, Joe"
Is this possible? Where do I do it? From the SQL Server end or in the report?
Hello,I'm wondering if there is a way to concatenate two fields or a field and astring value in a single field in a view?Where in Access I might write;[field1] & " (m3)" as TotalVolumeis there a way to do this in an SQL Server View?Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.
We have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root
Below is a sample:
Id Name IdParent
1 C: NULL
2 D: NULL
3 ProgramFiles 1
4 DataFiles 2
5 Excel.EXE 3
6 MyDataList.CSV 4
iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.
I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.
Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)
The end result of my view on the above data should return:
Id FilePath
5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE
6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)
Hi All,I am new to this group and this is my first doubt i am facing atpresent.I am doing data migration. In this sequence i need to alter few views.Alter in the sense, inside the existing query of view i want to includeone more column.I want to do it inside one single script. If i run the script all viewsshould get updated.Any help on this will be greatful.my mail id is Join Bytes!.Thanks in advance
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have granted a developer the alter view permissions on some views in our production server which now allow him to open the view for modification. When he tries to save his changes he gets an error that he doesn't have create view permission. If seen this behavior before when you modify a table, does SQL Server 7.0 actually drop and recreate the object? If so, would he then need create permissions on views also?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am using SQL 2000( Version: 8.00.000)
I want to ask can I add View in the stored procedure like the following:
Create Procedure sp_createTblLogReasonColorView
@m int,
@y int
AS
BEGIN
ALTER View vw_tblLogReasonColor
AS
Select * From tblLogReasonColor where Year(n_Delivery_Date) = @y AND Month(n_Delivery_Date) = @m
END
Thanks for you reply.
prerequisites:
MSSQL 2005 64bit as publisher (transactional replication)
MSSQL 2000 32 bit as subscriber (pull, read-only)
All objects are set to replicate except foreign keys and defaults.
There is a linked server DW on both the publisher and the subscriber that both can access (sa and user logins mapped)
The snapshot generation and loading is fine.
but then I issue this statement at the publisher:
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[v_Test] as
select * from DW.DW_DB.dbo.v_Test
but it fails to replicate at the subscriber with the message:
Category:COMMANDSource: Failed CommandNumber: Message: ALTER VIEW [dbo].[v_Test] asselect * from DW.DW_DB.dbo.v_TestCategoryQLSERVERSource: SubscriberNumber: 7399Message: OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
I tried the command on the Subcriber via Query Analyzer and it works.
What gives?
All suggestions are welcome!
I would like to alter view to add columns. My base table is populated by application and the base table name is always change. Is there any way to add some extra columns to this view.
One way is to create a sp to add columns and use the view inside the sp. But I would like to know is there any way to alter the view.
I have a VIEW which is dynamically generated through complex dynamic SQL. Unfortunately the dynamic SQL uses "Select * from table" to select the columns because the programmer did that to reduce the amount of code in the dynamic SQL string as the code can't be debugged if it's too long.
Therefore, I have a VIEW with columns in it I don't need, and want to remove them from the view - I need to remove all columns with column names matching the syntax '%1%_2' .
The view is called TEMP_EXPORT_1
I can either use the code below to return a list of columns that I want removed:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name like '%1%_2'
Or I can use the code below to return the list of columns that I want to keep:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2'
Now how would I go about altering TEMP_EXPORT_1 view so that it no longer has these columns? I know views don't have a drop statement...
Therefore I tried the following but I'm not sure of the syntax:
ALTER VIEW dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
AS
SELECT (select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2')
FROM dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
Am I on the right track? how can I ALTER this view to remove these columns? ... I want to keep this separate from the code that generated the view as I want it as an optional procedure that can be run if needed.
Background - I have a publication that propigates schema changes. I have a view in which I want to remove a column.
Error - Going by what the BOL says, I use Alter View and delete the column from my select statement. I issue the alter view command against the Publication database and it just "churns". I do not get any locking errors or any other type of error, but the statement never completes execution. I watched it run for 10 minutes and cancelled the query. Executing the same statement against a copy of the database that is not being published executes in 1, 2 seconds.
Here is what I am doing:
Old View: Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc,
table2.txt_sort_order
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code
The query I am executing:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW myview
AS
Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code
In SQL Server 2005 SP2 I want to grant the ability to create views to a user but in order to do this it requires that the users has the ability to grant alter on a schema.
Is there any way to grant this privilage without granting alter on schema also?

Hey all
Just like the title asks...Is it possible...I have a table that stores memos but breaks the memo text field up and assigns a key to associate it all as one big text field in the application. What I am needing to do is to create a custom table for a customization to have the memo txt in one row per customer, per memo number. So, is there any way to concatenate memotext into one row per memo?
Thanks

is it possible to concatenate 2 recordsets ?

Is there a way to concatenate the values of a particular field together into one field for all the records in each group of a GROUP BY without using XML?
Ideally, I want to accomplish this in a stored procedure. Normally, I would handle this in the front end, but my front end is Crystal ...
For example, if my data was:
1 "A"
1 "B"
1 "C"
2 "D"
2 "E"
I want to group by the first value and concatenate the second value:
1 "A,B,C"
2 "D,E"
Very easy using code - I simply add a function to the query in Access (not very efficient, but effective), or using recordsets in the app (which is actually very efficient) except my front end is Crystal in this case .
I have a table like so
code remarks
1234 abcd
4567 efgh

I have a table like below.
certid name
1 xxx
1 yyy
1 cvb
now I want to output as xxx,yyy,cvb when i pass input certid=1
I want to get it using a single query statement
I hope this is the correct place to ask this...
I would like to concatenate a String value to an Int value using an SQL statement. At the moment it reads like this:

Any idea how to get around this at all just using an SQL query statement?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
We are storing dates in a SQL table as dayPublished, monthPublished, yearPublished because sometimes not all the values are available.
I thought something like
select dbo.Resources.monthPublished + '/' + dbo.Resources.dayPublished + '/' + dbo.Resources.yearPublished as fullDate
but it doesn't like my slashes, and if I leave them out it simply adds the three fields together. Boo!
Any ideas?

Hi,
Whats wrong with the following T-SQL?
DECLARE @SQL NCHAR(4000)
SELECT @SQL = 'xxxx'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' yyyy'
PRINT @SQL
I'm only seeing 'xxxx' in the debug window so it appears that its not adding the 2 strings?
Weird?!?
Hi,
I have a big problem, as I commented in other thread in this forum I Have a DataReader with an MDX query which right now runs out of memory, but I figured that if I made the query by range I could get what I need without running out of memory. However, to achieve that I need to concatenate at the end of a file with a Flat File destination, the result of every query, but I don't know how to do it, It always writes over the data.
