I have a question for you. I have a product database with a lookup that pulls by product number. All my product numbers are made up the same way. IE. N59840, N00951, N00951. ect.
I have a stored procedure that looks up by that product number with a "LIKE" statement that looks like this.
WHERE ([Product#] LIKE '%' + @PRODUCTNUM + '%')
Which has this problem if someone types in "852" it returns
N00852
N05852
N98852
Is there anyway that I can have SQL put in zeros to fill up the 5 number spots so "852" brings up "00852" or "5852" brings up "05852"
sql = sql & ",-1*CDbl(funds.fundamount),0)) AS outgo" sql = sql & " FROM funds " sql = sql & "GROUP BY funds.itemdisc"
What I am doing here is collecting the columns and using status as credit or debt, if its debt I am subtracting from outgo if it is credit I am adding to credit. This also will only select records so that there are not any double listings. Here is an example.
DB desc status fundamount bill debt 10.00 bill debt 15.00 in credit 10.00 bills debt 5.00 in credit 5.00 paper debt 5.00
When I do the query I should have this
desc fundamount bill -25.00 bills - 5.00 paper - 5.00 in 15.00
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?
What I am wanting to do in another column is keep track of the sequence number for each distinct invoice like:
SeqNo 1 2 3 1 2 1
I am working in a stored proc and i cant get past adding the numbers up at each line as a whole and not reseting when the next invoice number is present. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
I have a problem setting the default value of a column. I am trying to set it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),0))
However, SQL Server automatically sets it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),(0)))
While it functionally does not change anything, we have a tool which compares the database schema against a pre-existing schema and shows this as an error.I have tried setting the value directly and through scripts but it does not work either way.
I was wondering if it was possible to add an identity column to a flat file data source as it is being processed in a data flow. I need to know the record number of each row in the file. Can this be done with the derived column task or is it possible to return the value of row count on each row of the data?
automatically replicates new databases to Availability Group partners - if you do a little prep work on your environment first.To make it work:
1) Create linked servers on all group members pointing to all other servers in the group, with names matching the hostnames they represent. 2) Ensure suitable credentials (or 'current context' impersonation) for linked servers. Also: Enable RPC and RPC OUT 3) Run the DDL code below. 4) Schedule hadr_replicate_queue on [master] to run as often as you want initial syncs to occur. Every 5-10 minutes is plenty for most purposes. 5) Connect to an availability group listener and call CREATE DATABASE :)
I use a slightly more extended version of this code at home to do things like permissions synchronization across replicas - I essentially allow applications to install direct to an availability group replica and then have all the relevant objects replicate to other nodes. I don't really like going through manually and doing things, even though there's an AddIn from SQLSkills for management studio - it still requires manual intervention.
The main use I have for this at home is that I'm using the Azure pack, and want to automatically ensure that my newly created 'SQL Server Cloud' databases are highly available, plus it means when I install a non-alwayson aware product it doesn't require any extra work afterwards to allow failover to another machine.

In SQL Server 2000, I have a parent table with a cascade update to a child table. I want to add a record to the child table whenever I add a table to the parent table. Thanks
I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
I'm trying to print my query name with my results. I know I can use PRINT and a string, but I would like to know if a variable exists that contains my query name. That way I could have one command I can use in all queries.
I have a simple query (a select statement which retrieves results from 2 tables via join). I run this query every week and just copy the results from Management Studio (Ctrl-A) and then open Microsoft Excel and just paste it there. Is there a way I can automatically run this every week and generate the Excel from the results? If so what steps I have to do? I use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

I'm very new to SQL but I have figured out how to do my first query. Now I would like to automate it to send the query as an attachment to users automatically (scheduler/cron??). How would you go about this, I need step by step hints. I'm using SQL Query Analyzer ver 8.00.2039 to generate the query from CDR records. Is this even possible?
What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:
Hi, I'm using SQL Express 2005 and VIsual Studio 2005, and this sounds like it should be easy. I'm trying to return the row numbers of my queries, but if I use the Row_Number() command I get the following error: "The OVER SQL construct or statement is not supported." So, is Row_Number() not supported in SQL Express 2005? If not, how can I return row numbers with my queries? Or, more specifically, how can I return a limited result set from a query (i.e. Return only row number 10-20)? My current command is as follows: SELECT (SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY UserName) As RowNumber), *FROM UsersORDER BY UserName Thanks for any advice you can offer!
I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
I'm trying to update (increment) Company.SumtotalLogons from CompanyUsers.NumberOfLogons where CompanyUsers.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID
I'd like to either write a formula (if it is even possible to fire a formula from one table update/insert to increment a field in another table), or a stored procedure that triggers an auto update/append into Company.SumTotalLogons
I know this is possible in access, so i'm wondering how to go about it in ms-sql?
I have a data column named Date_In with format of 20-May-13. How can I filter the data to select based on year only. I used
Select * From apps.xdmc_852@erpprod Where Year(Date_in) = 2014
This code is not working. I also need a way to automatically update to next week range. For example, last week I used where function like this
Where Date_in = to_date('01/12/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
Is there a way it will automatically at the next 7 days to the code above when the date is available. This week I have to go back and changed the code in to this:
Where Date_in = to_date('01/19/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
I have a database that is pre-populated with sequential part numbers.As people reserve the parts I update a flag to show the # is no longeravailable. Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.If my database had the following numbers available:101104105110111112113114It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update queryto change the flags to 1 (checked out).I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - havenot been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with thefollowing:SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL NWHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 ANDFLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and geterrors, probably incorrect syntax. Can I do this in an SQL statement?
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
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.
Hi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE clubs_belongs_to LIKE '%1%'
Where 1 is the number I'm searching for. The problem with the query above is that it returns records that contain 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. in the clubs_belongs_to field. I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.
Hello! Got a problem I hope some clever people can help me out with..
I have a web form that displays a set of records in a grid. The grid is "paged" according to a PageNum column, with a dropdown box to change pages and buttons allowing the items to be moved up or down a list within a page or moved between pages. So the backend table (simplified) looks something like this
The problem is when I want to delete a page - I need the page numbers to automatically resequence themselves, so for example, If I delete "Page 2" (i.e. delete rows where PageNum = 2), all items on "Page 3" become "Page 2" (and any items on "Page 4" become "Page 3" etc).
This has proved straightforward to when deleting an item from a particular page, and can resequence ItemNum thanks to a clever bit of code found on SQLteam.com:
DECLARE @intCounter int SET @intCounter = 0 UPDATE <Item Table> @intCounter = ItemNum = @intCounter + 1 WHERE Pagenumber = <Currently Selected Page>
However I haven't been able to adapt this to resequence the Page number, as this involves resequencing blocks of numbers. The closest I can get is:
DECLARE @intCounter int SET @intCounter = 1 UPDATE <Itemtable> SET @intCounter = PageNum = CASE WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 1 THEN @intCounter + 1 WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 2 THEN @intCounter + 1 ELSE @intCounter END
But this doesn't quite work. Anyone got any other ideas??
Can anyone tell me if you can display line numbers in the query windowof SQL 2005 Management Studio and if so how do I go about doing it?Thanks a bunch. TFD
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)

i want to add vales in a query this is my scenario (how can i add the price column values and display as one record) ex. 222 17 table = table1 tep1 price (column) 222 5 222 2 222 10
I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
