Basic SQL: Multiple AND/OR Nightmare In SELECT Statement

Aug 9, 2006

This is more of a basic SQL question rather than anything specific for T-SQL, but I assume someone here can help me...

I have a problem with properly combining a lot of AND and ORs in a SELECT statement in a stored procedure in order to get the desired results. The problem is that I want to have all results that fullfill all of the supplied conditions: InstitutionCode, CollectionCode, ScientificName, Locality (unless they are null, hence 'coalesce') and the Parentid, that can be in one of eight columns.

SELECT * FROM QueryView WHERE InstitutionCode = COALESCE(@museum, InstitutionCode) AND CollectionCode = COALESCE(@collection, CollectionCode) AND ScientificName LIKE '%' + @binomen + '%' AND Locality LIKE '%' + @locality + '%' AND ParentID1 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID3) OR ParentID2 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID2) OR ParentID3 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID3) OR ParentID4 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID4) OR ParentID5 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID5) OR ParentID6 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID6) OR ParentID7 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID7) OR ParentID8 = COALESCE(@taxparent, ParentID8)

The current construction, however, gives me all results that fullfill either on of the four conditions, or the parentid in one of the columns. putting parentheses around parentid part gives me zero query results. I understand that the ORs should be restricted to the parentids and not the rest, but putting parentheses around parentid part gives me zero query results.

Has anyone got a good tip to help me resolve this puzzle?

Basic UPDATE Statement Results Question

Jan 9, 2008



Hi,


I have written a basic UPDATE statement to update two fields in one table using a where clause to identify the record i wish to update. i.e.

UPDATE TableName SET field1=1234, field2='' WHERE primary_key=N'1234';

When i run the statement, in the results window i get a value returned that is equal to the total number of records in that table!! i.e.

(No column name)
--------------------------
588061


but when i check the table, indeed only one record has been updated as expected (and i have confirmed this by using SELECT @@ROWCOUNT straight after)

My question is, why does it do this?? i paniced at first as i thought i had updated ALL rows, but luckily this seems not to be the case.

And can i turn this off??

Many thanks,
Martin

Basic Select Question

May 26, 2008

Hello All,

I have what i believe to be a pretty basic SQL question. I have 2 tables, One called participant, and another called cnAvailableParticipant_List they are related with a field called userid I would like to select the firstname, lastname, userid, fields from the participant table and the dnnuserid field from the cnAvailableParticipant_List table where the users have a record in the participant table but do NOT have a record in the other table. Basicially i want to select all the users who are essentially not checked in. So far i have:

SELECT p.ParticipantID as ID, p.FName as FName, p.LName as LName, ap.DNNID FROM Participant p, cnAvailableParticipant_List ap
WHERE
ORDER BY LName, FName

can someone explain to me what i need in the where clause and why. I don't just want the answer, i would like to know why it works the way it does as well. Sorry for the basic question but im new to SQL

Thanks all help is appreciated,
John

Hi,I feel stupid for posting this question but I cannot find out how to create an SQL statement to return records that have been added today.My database table has a field called calldate which hold the date and time of the record added to the database i.e. "02/08/2005 16:55:41".Please can someone let me know how I can search to find all records added today.  I thought it would be something like it, but I assume I need to format the calldate so it's just 02/08/2005.Select *From TableWhere CallDate = GetDate()ThanksBrett

Accessing Data From Basic SQL Select * From TableName WHERE Search Params

Nov 5, 2007

I am learing VWD as I build a site and while I can use the various controls (GridView, FormView) to set up operations and retrieve/display database information, I need to be able to codebehind to do SQL operations for retrieving data to fill paper forms and to modify the database. After I retrieve data from the database, I need to do a lot of computation befor I build a paper quote that is emailed to a customer. I have written a subroutine to which I pass my sql query statement and I can add a new entry and edit an existing entry. The problem is a simple query to read an existing database entry.
If I write a simple command : Cmd = SELECT PartNumber, PartName, PartsAvailable FROM Inventory WHERE PartNumber = "P7226" , the command is executed but the return data falls on the floor somewhere as I dont know how to code to put the results in an array or in fact, have any idea on how to find the returned data. Can anyone help with this simple(?) problem?  My sub that handles the sql command is shown below.
I have also been looking for the way to code in VB to cause existing controls like GridViews to access, edit, and insert but I havent been able to find a paper or tutorial. If anyone has seen this information, it would be helpful also.Protected Sub CallSQL(ByVal Cmd As String)
Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFileName=C:Documents and SettingsaMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesWebSite5App_DataPINEMgt.mdf; Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True") 'Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsaMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesWebSite5App_DataPINEMgt.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True)Dim sql As String = String.Empty
sql = Cmd
'Open the connection to the database and execute he SQL

Multiple Tables Used In Select Statement Makes My Update Statement Not Work?

Aug 29, 2006

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly.  My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys.  So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys.  I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit.  I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it.  I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates.  When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template.  This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value.  So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors.  I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode.  I make my changes and then select "update."  When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing.  The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work.  When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again.  Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People].  My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list.  If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database.  It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed.  If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can.  This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go.  I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

SQL Server 2012 :: Create Dynamic Update Statement Based On Return Values In Select Statement

Jan 9, 2015

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".

Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

Select Statement With Count Within Another Select

I am using three tables in this query, one is events_detail, one is events_summary, the third if gifts. The original select statement counted the number of ids (event_details.id_number) that appear per event_name (event_summary.event_name).

Now, I would like to add in another column that counts the number of IDs that gave a gift who attended an event that were also listed in the event_ details table. So far I have come up with the following. My main issue is linking the subquery properly back to the main query. how to count in the sub-query and have the result placed within the groups results in the main query.

SELECT es.event_name, es.event_id, COUNT(ed.id_number) Number_Attendees,
(
SELECT COUNT(gifts.donor_id) AS Count2

WHERE gifts.donor_id = ed.id_number

Using IF...Else Statement SELECT Statement

Sep 7, 2006

 

Hi All,

Can some one point me in the right direction in how to construct my SQL query within my cursor?

I Have got a cursor which i am using to iterate through a table, What i am trying to do is in my statement(used to open the cursor) is compare 2 tables (the one which my cursor is iterating) to see if there is a matching row in the other table (using  both tables ID's Like So:

SELECT column_List
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1_id = Table2_id  


 so for each row  my cursor checks if there is a corresponding match in  table2... but i would like to write to an error log

and do other statements if there is no match

 how do i add this condition to my statement either using an if...else statement proceeding to the next row?

here is the statment i attempted to write:

SELECT column_List
FROM table1
WHERE
 Table1_id = Table2.id

now i want to incoporate the statements below into the statement above as a condition when table1.id <> table2.id    


IF  table1.id <> table2.id    

BEGIN
   SET @DebugMessage = 'data not live.'
   RAISERROR (@DebugMessage, 16, 1) WITH LOG
  END

essentially what i am trying to sayin my statement is:

 go to the first row

check if it has a match in table 2,

 if there is no match execute a number of statements such as error loging e.t.c

go to the next row

 repeat the previous statements 

 

...i also looked through some Case...When statements am just not sure how to put in the condition

thanks in advance
