CASE Alias In WHERE
Jul 20, 2005
Hello,
I found members of this group very helpful for my last queries.
Have one problem with CASE. I can use the column name alias in Order By Clause
but unable to use it in WHERE CLAUSE.
PLS TELL ME IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE IT IN WHERE CLAUSE AND SOME ALTERNATIVE.
QUERY:
SELECT
M.SECS =
CASE
WHEN NO_OF_SEC IS NULL THEN -1
WHEN NO_OF_SEC =0 THEN 1
ELSE NO_OF_SEC
END
FROM DOWNLOAD_MASTER M
WHERE M.SECS < 100
ORDER BY M.SECS
Hoping for a immediate reply.
thanks in advance

When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 =
CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END
, fieldname2
, fieldname3
FROM tablename1
GROUP BY CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
Regards,
Dave

I REALLY need to perform a JOIN and a GROUP BY on a CASE function column alias, but I'm receiving an "Invalid column name" error when attempting to run the query. Here's a snippet:
SELECT NewColumn=
CASE
WHEN Table1.Name LIKE '%FOO%' THEN 'FOO TOO'
END,
Table2.SelectCol2
FROM Table1
JOIN Table2 ON NewColumn = Table2.ColumnName
GROUP BY NewColumn, Table2.SelectCol2
ORDER BY Table2.SelectCol2
I really appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks,
DC Ross

I have a bit of trouble getting values into one alias field, my code is below. I am trying to get values into the alias extension, Agent_ID is sometimes null, and so is agent_id2, however sometimes they both have values in them, and then only one of the values is every returned. When in the example below only Agent_ID (11111) is ever returned by I want both of them returned.
Agent_ID Agent_ID2
11111 22222
<code>
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE WHEN [AGENT_ID] is not null then AGENT_ID
when agent_id2 is not null then agent_id2 end as extension
FROM [AA_Helper].[dbo].[tblEmpData]
</code>

We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server. Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects? Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2? Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too? Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?

How can I change my T-SQL text editor from text sensitive to text insensitive?

Hello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?

We need to install CI database on CS server, and there are some issueswith stored procedures.Database works and have CI collation (Polish_CI_AS). Server hascoresponding CS collation (Polish_CS_AS). Most queries and proceduresworks but some does not :-(We have table Customer which contains field CustomerID.Query "SELECT CUSTOMERID FROM CUSTOMER" works OK regardless ofcharacter case (we have table Customer not CUSTOMER)Following TSQL generate error message that must declare variable @id(in lowercase)DECLARE @ID INT (here @ID in uppercase)SELECT @id=CustomerID FROM Customer WHERE .... (here @id in lowercase)I know @ID is not equal to @id in CS, but database is CI and tablenames Customer and CUSTOMER both works. This does not work forvariables.I suppose it is tempdb collation problem (CS like a server collationis). I tried a property "Identifier Case Sensitivity" for myconnection, but it is read only and have value 8 (Mixed) by default -this is OK I think.DO I MISS SOMETHING ????

I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block
...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
Thanks,
Jason

We have an alias for dbo in various code areas, development/test/production. It was easy to tell the DBO alias
on release 6.5 but now on 7.0, the only way I can figure out if the userid is aliased to dbo is to sign on as the userid
and query 'select user_name( )' and if it returns dbo, I have the answer. Is there an easier way to do this by looking in a
system catalog or is there something else I am missing? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram

In 6.5 you could alias someone as dbo, thus preventing an ownership chain break. In 7.0 there are roles, one of which is db_owner. I gave a user db_owner role, and they created a table. But no one else can see it? And he is listed as the owner in EM. How do I more effectivly mimic the dbo alias available in 6.5?

Hi All,
I've just installed an active/active sql cluster. Both are named instance hence if i need to connect to it, I need to use NODE1SQLINST1 and NODE2SQLINST2. Is there a way to just use NODE1 or any other single name to connect to the sql instance? I was looking at Alias but I can't get it working. Anyone has any ideas or suggestion for me? Reason why i want to do this is in an odbc connection, instead of using NODE1SQLINST1, I can use NODE1.
Thanks

I am working on a C#/asp.net web application. The application has a text box that allows a user to enter a name. The name is then saved to the database.
Before the name is saved to the database, I need to be able to check if the name already exists in the database. The problem here is that what if the name is in the database as "JoE ScMedLap" and somoene enters the name as "Joe Schmedlap" which already exists in the database,but just differs in case.
In other words how do deal with case sensitiviy issues.

I am just getting started with SQL Sever 7.0, most things are must easier and simpler.
I do have one mind set problem
With SQL 6.5 I created a logon(JAWS) , aliased the developers to the logon(JAWS)
and all the tables and other objects were owned by ((JAWS). The developers would then grant
access to the tables. And the users would open JAWS.tablename.
In the SQL 7.0 test are I take an NT group that have the devlopers in them and allow SQL SErver
logon for that group. Then I allow the group access to the database and give the group
database roles of db_owner, db_ddladmin, db_datareader and db_datawriter.
The developers can create objects but the objects are not owned by the role but are
owned by the indivudual NT accounts that are in the NT group.
Any hint of what to change to have the ownership show up as the NT group??

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if there is a way that you can set the alias name of a column to a value that resides in another table instead of the alias being a static value that you type in.
If anyone has any ideas on ho i can accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it.

Is there any way in SQLServer (2000) to setup an alias to another SQLServer database?
What I want/need to do is this:
.i have a database for each project but many of the tables schemas/triggers/stored procedures/etc. are common so what I want to do is run one set scripts. I want to essentially set up a project structure so that all specific app databases also include some core stuff.
.for example, consider a Users table (simple example). For two applications we have exactly the same users structure, sprocs, triggers, etc. but we have physically different data. I just want to run the same ddl.
.but the users table has a log associated with it in an associated log database. The trigger (and some historical queries) refer to the explicit log database (App1Log.Users, for example).
.what i'm figuring is that if i could set up an alias to the log database and have the sql code refer to that I'd be able to reuse all the code very neatly:
set logDBAlias = 'App1Log'
insert into logDBAlias.Users etc....
.trouble is I cannot figure out how to alias the log database!
Any ideas?
Thank you.

how to add a alias to a server?
I have gone through BOL where it says it can be done thru right click agent -->> connections and configure alias.
i want to know if i configure a alias to a server from a client is it valid for other connections also?
meaning there are two database servers A and B
i add alias to server A by using client network utilities on server B,
then is this alias available if i try to connect to the server A thro some other server c?
hope this is not that confusing as it sounds. ;)
