Hey, I have a pretty simple question.
My query is throwing an error saying "Invalid column name 'subject'."
The problem is that subject is a custom column I've made, well just look at the sql:
SELECT a.ArticleID, subject=ISNULL((select subject from subjects),'') where subject='some subject'
This is probably a very silly question.I started learning ASP.net by following ASP.NET Unleashed. I am stuck where he wants me to open a connection to SQL Server database. I have just downloaded
MSDE. But I dont know where to type this code and how to run it..so as to connect to the database.
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<Script Runat="Server">
Sub Page_Load
Dim conPubs As SqlConnection
conPubs = New SqlConnection( "server=localhost;uid=webuser;pwd=secret;database=pubs" )
conPubs.Open()
End Sub
</Script>
Connection Opened!
Now do i have to change the uid to SA ? (i had to assign one when i downloaded and installed MSDE?
Thanks for the help.
Hi all,
am not very experienced in using DTS and really need your help. I have a dts package that i have scheduled to run every day. Here's what i want the package to do:
1. Check whether a value for a certain column in a certain row of a table in my database is 0 or 1. If it is 1, then
2. Run the dts task (which i have created and is working)
In other words, when the package is started, i want to execute a stored procedure or sql task or whatever, and if that returns 1 then i want to continue, if it returns 0 i want to finish the package without running the dts task. I'm sure there's a simple way to do this, but i could use your help...!
Thanks,
Elisabet
Hi All,
Can this be done and if so can you give a bullet list of the steps need to accomplish this.
I need to load a bunch of files into a stagging table. Need to loop through the files and load them.

I downloaded SQLExpress and Visual Studio Express to my home computer.
I built a simple database, adding data through theSQLexpress admin tool.
I built a web page using MS Studio. I connected to the database and used the webpage for a few days. Then I restarted the computer. Now the web page won't open, and MS Studio won't open the MDF file in the App_Data folder.
I can still see and work in the database through SQL server Express.
The web page and the MSStudio attempt to connect to the mdf file both fail with this message:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'KAAAK/Administrator'.
So it seems to be trying to connect as the Windows user.
When I try to modify the connection to connect through a user/password I created in SQL manager, I get a message that the user is not a trusted SQL user.
from web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|info.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;User ID=Admin;Password=12345" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
That was changed from the original string created automatically by MS Studio
<connectionStrings>
<add name="stocksConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|stocks.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
I am sure this is some simple problem, but why would the system refuse to access an mdf file it had already been accessing.?
Thanks, Michael
Hi all, having trouble with my first sql communication. I've got hosted service with an SQL database i've populated with a row.
When it gets to the third line the page crashes with an error.
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Server=mydbserver.com;Database=db198704784;");// +"Integrated Security=True"); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT UserName FROM Users",connection); SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
is there somewhere i need to put in my username or password? or is this code just wrong
Many thanks burnside.

not sure why I am having trouble here but I am using the following WHERE clause expecting to find all rows where any one of the the three keywords are present.
....WHERE Company.L_Keywords LIKE '%metal%' AND Company.L_Keywords LIKE '%tile%' AND Company.L_Keywords LIKE '%ceramic%'
however it appears to finding only the rows where all three words are present in the L_Keywords field
This is a very simple question. How would a select satement be formated in the following example.
SELECT Grade, Student_ID, First_Name, Last_Name FROM Scores WHERE (This is where I'm stuck and I know this is not the right formatting although I wish it were because it would make my life a little bit easier.) Student_ID = 115485, 115856, 568547, 965864, etc...
I may have up to 100 specific student ids to put in this one statement. I know I can use the "WHERE Student_ID = 115485 OR Student_ID = 115856, OR Student_ID = 568547" but that would be alot of waste. Seems like there should be an easier way than using the "OR Student_ID =" for every entry.
Can someone explain another way I can do this. Thanks in advance.
I have already created package which loads a text file to database using the dts wizard in Enterprise Manager.How do I execute that package using visual basic?Please provide the Code!!!Thanks

Thanks in advance!
Hi there.
I am trying to use MDX code to create a measure in ProClarity. Please help!!
A store can be one of a number of ‘Brands’. The MDX segment below gives me the Sales Value of a selected item, but for Store Brand 'Brand1' only. This works fine - but how do I add a brand? That is, how do I see the combined Sales Value for the selected item for 'Brand1' and 'Brand2'?
([Store Brand].[Brand1],[Measures].[Sales Value],[Item].CurrentMember)

Hoping someone could me with an ongoing indexing question that I have.
On my site, we have over the past 5 years developed what is emerging as a fairly complicated dbase structure, as features have been added to my site and relations have increased between different database tables, there has been a need to index fields in different ways, and in some instances field indexing has overlapped. For example we may have a table that has 5 fields (field1,field2,field3,field4,field5). A need to index field1 is requried because of a query that reads:
SELECT * From Table1 where field1=XXXXX
Additionally there may be a need to for another query that reads:
SELECT * From Table1 where field2=XXXXX
In this instance an index is placed on field2....
But, for example when there is the following query:
SELECT * From Table1 where field1=XXXXX and field2 = XXXXX
Is it necessary to set a new index on: field1,field2 ???
We have made the choice that yes, in fact there is...but now over time some of our tables have instances of single fields being indexed along with combinations of two single fields that have already been indexed, being indexed together. As tables have grown to over 1,000,000 records and having up to 15 or so indexes, we realize that the number of indexes maybe degrading performance. Also, indexes vary in type, e.g INT,BIGINT,Varchar fields... In the above instance, can we eliminate the multi-indexes and improve performance over all...?
On a second related question:
In the event that two tables are joined on a common field.
e.g. Select * from Table1,Table2 where Table1.field1=Table2.field1
Is it necessary to index both of these fields in tables: Table1 and Table2 ?
Hope someone can help, as we are looking to improve the efficiency of our tables as they continue to grow.
I need help.

I need help.
Our SQL Server is crashing. The Database is still recovering. I can not kill any Process when the Server crashed. I shoot down and restarted the server. Nothing to do. I can not access to the database. It is recovering. How long? I do not know. What can be the reason of the recovering? Nor the event log of Windows NT or the log files of the SQL SERVER can help me.

Hi, can somebody help me with some verification SQL commands that I need to run on an Oracle database?
In the Oracle table 'FEE', if the 'FEETYPE' column has a value of '3' for a record, then the 'PERCENTAMOUNT' column needs to be not null for that row - can somebody put this into a command for me so I can make lots like it?
another one I have is in the 'FEE' table, if the 'FEETYPE' column has a value of '1', the 'PERIOD' column needs to always have a value of '3' for that row - is there a command that can check the records that do/do not have this information?
Any halp is greatly appreciated :)

I have only been working with SQL for short time. My question is probably a basic one but I would appreciate the assistance!
The scenario is I have two different tables AVCfids (on ACC database)& AVCfids (on ACC.archive database). I am trying to write a command in SQL server agent (jobs) to transfer the data on a daily basis from AVCfids to ACC.archives. The script I have created but is not working is:
Database: ACC_archives
Select * into avcfids
from server.acc.dbo.avcfids
Any feedback would be welcomed.

I want to count the rows in two tables and then give a percentage as a result.
Something like:
SELECT Count(*) / (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM Table2) FROM Table1
Just not quite sure how to do this.

I'm in a Database class and am finding it very difficult to find any outside help. I'm sure this will appear to be very basic to those of you who work in the Database field, but your help will be greatly appreciated.
INVENTORY( SKU, Description, QUANTITYOnHand, QuantityOnOrder, Warehouse)
WAREHOUSE( Warehouse, Manager, SquareFeet)
From the two tables above we're suppose to:
1.Write an SQL statement to show the Warehouse and average QunatityOnHand of all items stored in a warehouse managed by 'Smith'. Use a subquery.
2.Write an SQL statement to show the Warehouse and average QunatityOnHand of all items stored in a warehouse managed by 'Smith'. Use a join.
This is what I came up with. Please give me some feedback:
SELECT Avg(QuantityOnHand)
FROM INVENTORY
WHERE WAREHOUSE IN
(SELECT WAREHOUSE
FROM MANAGER
WHERE Manager = ‘Smith’);
2.44)SELECTAvg(QuantityOnHand)
FROMINVENTORY, WAREHOUSE
WHEREManager = ‘Smith’
Hello, folks.I have the following query that I run that pulls up the count of the number of orders of a product.SELECT Product, Count(Product) AS TotalFROM Orders_ViewGROUP BY Product, Year([DateOpened]), Month([DateOpened])HAVING (((Year([DateOpened]))=2004) AND ((Month([DateOpened]))=10))ORDER BY Product;This query is fine but the COUNT() function only coughs-up the non-zero results. How can I get this query to cough-up the zero counts as well for all products listed in the Product table?TIA...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've not touched SQL server programming since 1999. I have very littlememory of it and need some clarifications on some basic questions thatI could even use a book for. Until I get myself a good book, someoneplease help me with the answers:1) What are SQL functions and how are they different from storedprocedures? Do both of the programming objects not achieve the samething? What was the need of having one in addition to the other?2) How do we use an "if construct"/if clause within a SQL statement?Can we use conditional checking with the if construct within a storedprocedure? Can you please post a trivial example of a stored procedurewith an if clause?3) Stored procedures can have input parameters as well as outputparameters. Can they also have in/out parameters that are like "byreference" parameters? What's the syntax on Microsoft's T-SQL version?4) How does one check the return value of a stored procedure?Thanks for helping out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,I am used to other SQL engines, and have a few basic questions--1)If I wanted to conditionally drop a table, does SQL Server have away to natively do this? Many SQL implementations will allowsomething like:CREATE OR REPLACE tablename ASSELECTx,y,zFROM sourcetable;Does SQL Server have something like this? This syntax, both the"create table as select" syntax and the "create or replace" syntaxseem to cause problems.2) Some of our existing queries have a keyword, "GO" where I wouldotherwise expect a semi-colon. Is there a functional differencebetween the two? I seem to be able to replace the "GO" keywords withsemi-colons without any changes in how the script behaves, but Ithought I would check and see if anyone has advice about thedifferences here.Thanks in advance,Ben

Im am new to this stuff and I have a very basic beginner question.
I have started my first database, made some tables, some sql search ect. just to see how things works. Suddenly I am not able to connect to the "database engine". I don't get an error message. It just try to connect until I cancel the operation. (The only way I can cancel is by choosing "SQL Server Authentication". Then I get an error message as I would expect.)
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, but with no succes.

I'm missing something fundamental in getting a ForEachLoop to read ADO data.
The database connection is configured and tested, the query parses Ok, but then I get confused.
I've defined an Object variable to hoild the results, but I can't seem to figure out how to get to values (column) data.
When I go to the Variable Mapping tab, there is only my Object variable listed. Where are the columns?
The query has the column names in the Select (as opposed to Select *), but I still don't see them.
What am I missing?
TIA

I'm use to working with MSaccess and coldfusion and am trying to convert to sql. I ran the upsize wizard in access and now see my DB in the SQL Query Analyzer. How do I open / modify / view the DB? I have zero experience with sql so treat me like a 5 year old.
And if anyone has any knowledge of connecting coldfusion with sql that would also help.
Thanks.
