Beginner Question - SQL Query
Feb 15, 2008
Hello there,
Say I have the following table:
ID Type Name
--- -------- ---------------
1 1 Michael
2 1 Julian
3 2 Catherine
4 2 Julia
5 2 Silvia
6 3 John
What SQL query should I use in order to get the following output:
Type Name1 Name2 Name3
------- ----------- ------------ ------------
1 Michal Julian NULL
2 Catherine Julia Silvia
3 John NULL NULL
I believe this is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I have a query returning the Average of an Integer with a precision of zero. However because of this in my query and export I am only returning whole numbers for my Average.
Is there anyway in the query to modify the field for what I want to view so that it will return decimals?
Thanks in advance.

I'm an Absolute beginner to SQL
I have a table of baseballTeams with columns baseballTeamName and a baseballTeamID
A have another table (baseballGames) which consists of baseball games which includes a homeTeamID and a visitingTeamID.
Both of these columns are linked to the baseballTeamID from the baseballTeams table
I have been successful at joining the two tables and Selecting the baseballTeamName from the baseballTeams table for either the hometeam or
visiting team as shown below:
SELECT gameID, homeTeamID, baseballTeamID,baseballTeamName
FROM baseballGames, baseballTeams
WHERE baseballGames.homeTeamID=baseballTeams.baseballTeamID
...but I cannot figure out how to select BOTH the homeTeam name and the visitingTeam name from the baseballTeam table
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi -
I feel stupied b/c I can't figure this out but I hope it's just a few seconds for some of the more senior posters of this forum:
I have a table that looks like this:
Table:RequestID: bigint... (a bunch of table specific columns)User_Status_ID: bigint (holds the bigint ID of the status table, below; always holds the ID to the most recent ID, if several)Provider_Status_ID: bigint (holds the bigint ID of the status table, below; always holds the ID to the most recent ID, if several)
and then there is a second table that looks like this:
Table: StatusID: bigintRequestID: bigint (the request ID, so I can see all status messages for the request)Time: TimestampCode: byte (there are only a few status messages)
The status table holds both the status for users and providers, as they use exactly the same status code. What I'd like to get is a table/view that looks like this:
RequestID:bigint (the request that this status belongs to)User_Code: byte (the code of th most recent user status)Provider_Code: byte (the code of the most recent provider status)
Somehow, I am blanking how to create a query that returns both user and provider codes in one row. Any help greatly appreciated!!!!

I got this Error, Query Execution for Dataset 'Source'.
When i try to run a report that is actually a drillthrough from another report. It runs fine in Report Designer, and when i deploy to my Local server. But when i deploy it to my virtual Report Server, I get this error messege. Why is it doing this? and where can i see errors for this type of stuff, so i can figure this out. This uses the same Datasource as the report linked from it. That report works fine, why wont this one? any ideas?

hi there. this is my first post on this forum. im new to SQLServer so please go easy on me. :)
i am trying desperately to call a stored procedure from within another stored procedure. if i post my code below could somebody tell me where i am going wrong. the SP i have written is executing OK but the OUTPUT parameter Id_User is coming back as null, whereas it should be giving my a value there. i have tried changing the line 'EXEC sp_User_I' for 'INSERT INTO @User_Id EXEC sp_User_I' but this wont compile.
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Account_I]
@Username varchar(16),
@Password varchar(88),
@Surname varchar(32),
@DateBirth datetime,
@Email varchar(64),
@Id_Account int OUTPUT,
@Id_User int OUTPUT
AS
DECLARE @ErrorCode int;
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
EXEC sp_User_I
@Username,
@Password,
@FirstName,
@Surname,
@DateBirth,
@Email,
@Id_Country,
@Id_User
...do some other stuff here for the account...

Hi all,
I've been banging my head against this issue, and I haven't managed to find a solution. I was hoping that maybe somebody here has done something similar.
I am trying to get the latest available pricing from a Rate table, which is based on the customer ID and the provided date from another table (Table1).
This is what the code looks like, essentially:
select
table1.*
,table2.*
,table3.Rate
from table1
left outer join table2 on table1.Id = table2.Id
left outer join (
Select Top 1 Rate from RateTable
Where RateTable.date < table1.date
order by RateTable.date desc
) as table3 on table3.custId = table1.custId
I understood that table1.date can't be explicitly passed into the nested join within table3, but does anybody know a work around that can achieve the above example (the environment is SQL server 2000 and inside a view not on in a stored proc)?
Thanks in advance for any tips or workaround.

My company needs a database. My first thought was to do it in Access, because it's available! But I wanted to check that that was smart, what its limitations are, when it's better to move to bigger / more expensive software, etc.
It's probably going to have several hundred thousand records in and will grow by more than a hundred thousand every year. Is there a size limit?
Not that many fields, though - it's not that complicated a database.
Many thanks in advance for any help :beer:

Hi all,
This looks like a great place for SQL Server support. I hope you don't mind a few n00b questions.
I'm a sysop whose main experience is with Windows XP and SBS 2003. I'm also reasonably familiar with Access 97/2000, having programmed a few small databases. I've recently acquired a client who is running the premium version of SBS, which includes SQL Server 2005. This means I have to manage this thing. This *huge* thing. So my first question is: Where can I find information to get me started, first from a sysop perspective, and later from a Access programmer perspective. What is your experience?
Then two current issues. One is that for some reason SQL Server 2005 is using about 2 gigabytes of memory out of the box. Is this normal? Second, I can't for the life of me find the backup system. I can see backups being made of the AdventureWorks database (at 3:00), but even after 2 hours of searching I can't change the schedule. I knew how to do this in SQL Server 2000, but this version is very different.
I'd much rather figure these things out on my own, but this product is just too complicated to learn in a few days, and the memory usage issue is critical.
I'd be much obliged for any help you can offer.

Hi,I'm finishing up a beginning SQL class where we learned on an Oracledatabase and the transition to working on SQL Server is easy. The next moreadvanced course will be in PL/SQL, but I know I will be working on SQLServer in the workplace, so my question is if I should take this course.Will I benefit from the basic philosophies that will be covered, or will itjust make a transition for me more difficult? Will it be partly a waste oftime and money and I'd be better served getting a book and self teachingmyself? I know that in a greater sense learning something isn't necessarilya waste, but I mean from the perspective of my goal of being able to use SqlServer, will this course be useful?thanks.

I just installed SQL Server 2005, Office 2007, and the add-in, but when I check services.msc, I don't see the SQL Server Analysis Services. Does anyone know how I can get this to load? Also, when I run the server configuration utility in the DM add-in folder, do you know what I should put in the server name to get it to run off my hard disk and not a server? local host doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance!

Hi all....
I'm not good t adatabases and never had to install one before, but I have an easy question....
I need to install a big application that needs a database server in the back end to run, I have a box with SQL2005 installed on it and I need to let the server be the database server for this application that will be installed on a seperate box....
How would I be able to point this application to the database server? do I need to install a SQL client on this server and point it to the SQL2005 server in the back?
Do I need to create a "new database" on the SQL sever and give it a name and credentials then point the application to that database? if that is the case, how would I do it?
Thanks.

I have created two reports. One links to the other with a drillthrough. The linking works fine, but no values show up in the fields besides the group titles and column titles. Why is this happening?
The user is given a list of Counties with values. The Counties(in a matrix) are clickable for a drillthrough of Ages and Genders in the Counties. Looks something like this:
Years
Counties Total Crashes Fatalities
Cook 85 98
Manchester 2850 258
Sagamon 987 526
So when a user clicks a county, such as "Cook", this is displayed
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female 25 8
Male 55 15
9-15 Female 850 258
Male 185 35
16-22 Female 87 526
Male 10 35
But I am getting this in :
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female
Male
9-15 Female
Male
16-22 Female
Male
Whats going on? Can anyone make any suggestions? Just to let you know its based off of an Analysis Services Cube and not relational tables.

Hello,
First off, I'm completly new to SQL.
I'm trying to create an insert command that uses a select command as a value.
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy'
What I get from this is 5 rows updated which is what I wanted.
Although, I would like to insert a UserID from C# code or for now just 1151 for example.
I'm assuming that it would look something like this:
INSERT INTO Activation.dbo.Selected (PID,UserID) SELECT PID FROM ElecDB.dbo.PTT WHERE Vendor = 'guy' , 1151
but I am not even close.
Please help me with this.
Thanks,
Guy

I have a question that I am sure is an easy answer for the pros, but being a beginner I need a bit of help. My problem is I am trying to average multiple columns and return a single output. Here is an example of the data and layout that I am looking at, and what the intended results would need to be.
TradeAmt TradePrice
100 36.75
200 38.75
100 36.80
The desired results would be the average Trade Price (36.7625 in this case). The problem I am running into is taking into account both columns. I know in other programming languages you can create a loop to multiply the TradeAmt by TradePrice, add the value to the next set of TradeAmy x TradePrice, and ultimately average it out. Since I am new to SQL I am not sure of the best way to proceed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have two database servers that I am interested in sending messeges between them. I am not interested in security or encryption at this point, only a simple message sending and recieving.
Can someone please provide simple scripts for object setup (certificates, queues etc) and message send and recieve ?
a link to such a script will be great as well. I am just a bit lost understanding all the new concepts (certificates, service, service binding.....)
Thank you

I need to restore multiple tables in a sequence. I am writing separate data flow for each table restore.
If there is any error in any of the table restore data flow, I want to write that error in a log file.
I am writing a script component in every data flow, which will get error code & error description, that i am writing in the log fie.
Is there a way to create a public reusable error logging script file, which we can call from every data flow and log only errors which we want?
Also want to confirm if the way i am doing is correct way or is there any easier/better way to achieve this?
