I would like to do something like a SELECT * FROM Files WHERE (Attributes & ?) but the & operator isn't recognized. I looked at the documentation sample for it and in the sample the & operator isn't used in the WHERE clause so I thought that might be the reason but I still can't get the operator to work. So even the doc sample code for it doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesHello to all,
i have a problem with IN-Operator. I cann't resolve it. I hope that somebody can help me.
I have a IN_Operator sql query like this, this sql query can work. it means that i can get a result 3418:
declare @IDM int;
declare @IDO varchar(8000);
set @IDM = 3418;
set @IDO = '3430'
select *
from wtcomValidRelationships as A
where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ))
but these numbers (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ) come from a select-statement. so if i use select-statement in this query, i get nothing back. this query like this one:select *
from wtcomValidRelationships as A
where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (select B.RelationshipIDs from wtcomValidRelationships as B where B.IDMember = @IDM))
I have checked that man can use IN-Operator with select-statement. I don't know why it doesn't work with me. Could somebody help me? Thanks
I use MS SQL 2005 Server Management Stadio Express
Thanks a million and Best regards

Good morning all,
I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find any information on it. When I use the Query Builder, in the top pane, the Filter pane, there are five columnsimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expession and Parameters.
In the dropdown for Operator, one of the choices is MDX. I cannot find any documentation on how to use this operator. I want to limit my filter to SELF_AND_AFTER, and I am hoping that this is possible using this operator. I know how to hand code it, but I have a ton of other tweaks to make to the query, so I want to use the Query Designer as much as I can.
Does anyone have any links to documentation on how to use this operator?
Thanks,
Kathryn
Hi,
This is a crosspost, I also asked this question in the learnvisualstudio.net forum. I'm trying to engineer a bit of code in SQL that "decodes" a value stored in a table that represents an array of boolean values, stored using bitwise operations. I have the number, a reference of bit positions for each item, and the actual items checked per the program that normally processes this value. I'm trying to write a sproc that will perform actions based on the booleans in my list, but I can't get the same results the interface gives me.
Here's an example:
Value is 66756
Bit positions 2, 6, 7, and 10 should all return true. I was trying to deduce this using the following:
Code BlockSELECT CONVERT (BIT, <value> & (2 ^ <position>))
but that doesn't work at all. It's my (broken) translation of the code normally used to display this value as a checkbox, which comes from VB6 and looks something like this:
Code Block.ListItems(CStr() & "_").Checked = CBool <value> And (2 ^ <position>))
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I was doing a SUM on my returned rows and i found that what i really want is an aggregate bitwise OR on all the returned rows. Do you know what's the function for that?
Thank you
I was looking into some of the System stored procedures like sp_denylogin, sp_grantLogin etc. I found bit wise operations like
update master.dbo.sysxlogins set xstatus = (xstatus & ~1) | 2, xdate2 = getdate()
where name = @loginame and srvid IS NULL
How does the bitwise NOT(~) works with different datatypes like INT, SMALLINT and TINYINT?
Look at the following sample code and result. I just wanted to understand how it works with int and smallint
declare @a int
declare @b smallint
declare @c tinyint
select @a = 1, @b = 1, @c = 1
select @a=~@a, @b= ~@b, @c= ~@c
select @a, @b, @c
Result
~~~~~
-2-2254
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to do a logical exclusive OR (XOR) in sql server?
I'm trying to do this in where clause, something like:
WHERE
(not exists (select 1 from table a where a.date > '01/30/03') XOR
exists (select 1 from table a where a.date < '01/30/03'))
Thanks!
I am new to bitwise thing in MSSQL.Let's suppose there's a table of favorite foodsinsert int fav_foods(food_name,bitwiseVal)values('Pasta',1)insert int fav_foods(food_name,bitwiseVal)values('Chicken',2)insert int fav_foods(food_name,bitwiseVal)values('Beef',4)insert int fav_foods(food_name,bitwiseVal)values('Fish',8)insert int fav_foods(food_name,bitwiseVal)values('Pork',16)How do I write query to find people who selected more than one item andselected items from "Pasta, Chicken, Beef, Pork"(but not fish)?I hope my question is not confusing.....

I'm working on a recurring multi-day appointment program. Basically the user can choose a meeting on multiple days of the week over a span of time. For example: Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 10:30 from December 1st 2004 to February 27th 2005.
So I've decided the best way to handle this is to assign a value to each day of the week like so:
MON = 1
TUE = 2
WED = 4
THU = 8
FRI = 16
SAT = 32
SUN = 64
So if the user picks TUE and THU that would be 2 + 8 = 10. The value is unique and seems to work.
So the values would be:
@begin_date = '12/01/2004'
@begin_time = '10:00 AM'
@end_date = '02/27/2005'
@end_time = '10:30 AM'
@recur_days = 10
Now I want to pass the values to stored procedure that will decode the recur_days variable and create entries in a table for each date. I'm struggling to figure out 2 things
1. How do I decode the 10 back into 2(TUE) + 8(THU) ( I think it has something to do with the bitwise AND "&" operator but I'm not sure how to use it.)
2. What is the best way to loop through the date range and create a record for each day?

I am trying to get a culmulative Bitwise OR operation on a column by query - rather than using a CLR function.
The problem is shown below:
CREATE TABLE #Operations (
PK INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
UserName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
UserProcess VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
ServerOperation VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Permission INT NOT NULL );
[Code] ....
So Far I've tried SUM - wrong results, and STUFF - which doesn't seem appropriate for bitwise operation - neither give useful results.
-- SUM Operation - fails
SELECT DISTINCT
UserName,
ServerOperation,
SUM(Permission) AS Permission
FROM #Operations
[Code] ....
It may be possible to materialise the permissions each time one is changed (e.g. by to use a cursor ), however I would prefer a query or function or combination to generate the result.
HI, i am trying to make query that has computations with it. but when there's a point computing between int and float i had to use cast() function to convert certain data types. somehow it only works on converting float to integer because when i'm converting an integer into float inorder to be computed with a float it bombs. my query is like this ....
SELECT cast(((cast(((lat - (SELECT LAT FROM TPS_ZIPUSA WHERE ZIP_CODE = 00210)) * 69.1) AS int) ^ 2) + (cast((69.1 * (lng - (SELECT Lng FROM TPS_ZIPUSA WHERE ZIP_CODE = 00210)) * (COS((SELECT LAT FROM TPS_ZIPUSA WHERE ZIP_CODE = 00210) / 57.3))) AS int) ^ 2)) AS float) ^ .5
FROM TPS_ZIPUSA
.5 is where the query bombs. any idea why is this happenning?
by the way, i'm using sql server 7.0.
francis,
I want to create a custom bitwise OR aggregate function.
I want to use it like the built in aggregate functions (MIN, MAX etc.)
SELECT dbo.bitwise_or(bit_string) FROM table
where bit_string is a nvarchar(3)
so for example if the table contains two rows ('100', '001') the above query should return '101'
I would like to implement this as a CLR function/assembly with the aggregate below:
CREATE AGGREGATE dbo.bitwise_or (bit_string nvarchar(3))
RETURNS [nvarchar(3)]
EXTERNAL NAME [Aggregate].[bitwise_or]
I have followed this post to implement amedian aggregate function [URL] ..... but there is a lot of code (not sure what is really needed in my case).
Hi,
We are facing a problem while passing a string containing the "&" character into Full Text search CONTAINS predicate. The records that do have this character are not being returned by the search.
I'd like to raise two questions:
1) Is there any special way to escape this character?
2) Does FTS index it at all?
We have tried all known (to us) ways of escaping like doubling the character, using char(38), using ESCAPE etc..Nothing seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

I am getting a error message saying: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals datetime.
I traced the pointer to @gdo and @gd, they are both dates!
INSERT INTO AdminAlerts values (CURRENT_USER, 'UPDATE', getDate(), @biui, 'Updated booking, ID of booking updated: ' & @biui & ', Booking date and time before/after update: ' & @gdo & '/' & @gd & ', Room number before/after update: ' & @rno & '/' & @rn & ' and Customer ID before/after update: ' & @cio & '/' & @ci)
If I cut that two dates out it works fine.
Could someone tell me the syntax to include a date in a string :confused:
Just a quick question that I really couldn't find using google or anything because it was too bland.
How do you return the whole database while still using the LIKE operator.
I have a textbox that you can use to search the database but I want all the data to be displayed underneath the box so you can "browse" the data if you don't know the name of what you are looking for.
What would I put as the default value? I used just defaultvalue="%" and that worked in 1 area, but not another. Is this the right way?
Thanks,
Chris
I have a query and for the life of me I cant figure it out.
I have a web form with a number of textboxes on it e.g. Title, subtitle, isbn. I also have a search button. This search page allows a user to enter any combination of fields in the form and then when they click the search button, a datagrid is diaplyed showing the results (gets the results from a SQL DB).
I have got the code working if the user selects say one item, but I dont know how to allow it so that the user can enter any combination of items in the form and the search button will search for it based on what the user says. I think im gettng confused with my logical operators in the sql statement.
If any one can take a look I would be greatful.public void BindData(){String @BookID = TxtBookID.Text;String @Title = TxtTitle.Text;String @Subtitle = TxtSubtitle.Text;String @ISBN = TxtISBN.Text;String @AuthorFName = TxtForename.Text;String @AuthorLName = TxtSurname.Text;
SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT Book_ID_Internal, Title, Subtitle, ISBN, Edition, Publication_Date, Author.First_Name, Author.Last_Name FROM Book, Author WHERE Book.Author_ID = Author.Author_ID AND Book.Book_ID_Internal = '" + @BookID + "' AND Book.Title = '" + @Title + "' AND Book.Subtitle = '" + @Subtitle + "' AND Book.ISBN = '" + @ISBN + "' AND Author.First_Name = '" + @AuthorFName + "' AND Author.Last_Name = '" + @AuthorLName + "'", conn);DataSet ds = new DataSet();ad.Fill(ds, "Book");GridView1.DataSource = ds;GridView1.DataBind();}

Hi,
Can you just tell me how to use LIKE Operator(Syntax) please.I am new to SSRS2005.
Hi,
I'm having problems using the between operator in a query statement.
Select *
from <mytable>
where date between @date1 and @date2
The date values with a hour specified, aren't returned. What is the approach you would recommend here?
Thx
EDIT: by playing with this problem I've figured out I can append the hour to the date like this: <date> between @fromDate + '00:00:00' and @toDate + '23:59:59'
this seem to work, but I'm not sure if this is correct
Hi,
I'm trying to build a form that will allow users to choose their own parameters for the Select statement in the SqlDataSource. These results would then be displayed back to a GridView control. The only problem I am having is figuring out how to allow them to choose the operator (=, <, >, <>, etc) from a dropdown list. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this with a SqlDataSource control? It is probably something simple and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,

Anyhow,
I have to paginate a datalist (and I really can't use a datagrid because of the layout, blame the bluddy graphic designer)
I want to return the top 8 rows, the next 8 top rows and so on.
This is the sql string I have:
'retrieve pagination in order to construct the rest of the sql string
Dim startrec As Integer
If pageno = 1 Then
startrec = 0
Else
startrec = (pageno - 1) * pagesize
End If
' this builds the sql string, getting ONLY the records we need for this. Page size is a constant expressed on the base page
' startrec is the record where I want to start in the db.
strsql = "select top " & pagesize & " * " & strsqlbasic & " and itemID>" & startrec & " order by itemnotes1 asc"
noresults.text = strsql & " <br> " & searchwhat & searchfor
strsqlbasic is constructed elsewhere and is just the 'from X where y = var
Of course, this returns all records where the value of itemID is greater than the value of startrec. How would I change this so it returns the next 4 rows starting from the row number given by the value of startrec?
thanks for any help.
strsql = " select * from dic where english='" & SearchBox.Text Or TextBox4.Text & "'"The machine said Input string was not in a correct format. How can i select database with or operator in asp.net .Is it possible to select database in sql from more textbox ?
