I'm converting a set of queries from Access to work as stored procedures on SQL server, and one of them that uses IIF gives me a syntax error. Here's the WHERE clause of the SELECT:
WHERE IIF(@myExtNum > 0,D.ExtentionNumber=@myExtNum,'') AND ...
I get the error message "syntax error near '>'."
It would seem this query wants to do two things: 1) if @myExtNum is >0, return only the rows for which D.ExtentionNumber equals a user specified value, or 2) if @myExtNum is 0 ignore this part of the condition.
I can rewrite this using multiple ANDs and ORs, but I wodered if there was a way I could get IIF working.
Something in my gut tells me this is not going to work, that IIF is being used to modify the query; that is, change which rows are returned; it is not being used to change how a given data value is displayed, which I think was the purpose for which IIF was originally intended.
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
Is there a way of taking a result from a query and pulling out a certain account number and displaying those account numbers - as fred? Eg. I have a drop down of account number (s) however they pull from a table that only displays them as account numbers. I would like to give more a description to certain account numbers that are pulled. Eg. account number 234 will be fred and account number 555 will be sam etc. Trying to add it to the query on the dataset is complicated, so I was wondering if I created an additional blank field with an expression to be able to do this?
I am interested in changing the way that data is displayed in my result set.Essentially I want to display a selection of rows (1 to n) as columns, the following diagram explains my intentions.Perhaps one of the greatest challenges here is the fact that I do not have a concrete number of rows (or BIN numbers). Each stock item could be stored in one or more BINS, which I will not know until running my query.
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value ----------- ----- colB 123 colA XYZ
I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...
I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups. What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
We can save query output save as CSV file directly from the Query Analyzer window. I have done it at last few year before. Now I need it.Can anyone please give the one example for the same.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-

Hi,all, I ran the two queries and I thought it would be the same, but it's different. Can you explain to me.

Hello all,I tryed to simplify the problem as much as possible. I'll start with theDDL:----------------------------------CREATE TABLE #MyTable(NoID INT,Type CHAR,DateTransaction DATETIME)INSERT INTO #MyTable (NoID, Type, DateTransaction)SELECT 1 AS NoID, 'A' AS Type, '2004-01-01' AS DateTransaction UNION ALLSELECT 2, 'C', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 3, 'B', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 4, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 5, 'B', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 6, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 7, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 8, 'B', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 9, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 10, 'C', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 11, 'B', '2004-01-03'----------------------------------What I want is all the same Type which, for a same DateTransaction, as adifferent Type inserte beetween them when data is sorted by DateTransactionand NoID. In this case I would like:Type DateTransaction------ -----------------C 2004-01-02 /* B is between two C (NoID = 5) */A 2004-01-03 /* B is between tow A (NoID = 8) */B 2004-01-03 /* A and C are between two B (NoID = 9 and10) */All of these have for the corresponding date at least one transaction with adifferent type between.In the real situation NoID is an autoincrement field, the PK. And theDateTransaction hasn't any time, just a round date.Any suggestion?Thanks for your time.Yannick

Basically, I track complaints and each complaint can have 1 or more subjects associated with it. The structure is the complaint is referenced in a complaintsubject row and I use the persons table to find out detail of the complaintsubject (firstname, middlename, lastname) complaintsubject just holds Id's to normalize the database rather than have all details of persons table copied into every complaint (pretty basic so far).
My first question is regarding structure...since my complaint to complaintsubject relationship is 1 to many I assume the best way to associate the two is to have a FileNumber field in the complaintsubject linking back to a complaint. Is there any other design that is better suited to this type of relationship?
Second question and most important: I need a way to search by a string that appears in any part of the firstname, middlenames, lastname. I have the query for this and its working. But the problem arises when I have more than one match (i.e. 2 or more people are involved in the complaint where the match string fits both - example say we have a match string of 'an' and in complaint xyz 2 people involved are Sandy Blah and Andy Blue). Now when I do my join to pull out the complaints that involve any people with a name containing 'an' the result set returns the same complaint twice, one for Sandy Blah and the other for Andy Blue). Since I am only interested in certain complaint details and not interested in having the actual people involved returned in the result set, I would like to return only 1 row for each complaint when more than one match is found for the firstname,middlenames,lastname. I could live with having the duplicate rows and process them easily application side, but I am sending a lot of duplicate information over the wire for nothing and would like to optimize this.
I hope I have described this well enough and would greatly, greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
I'm not the most knowledgable DBA, I've had to learn almost completely on my own, AND on a production server, because it's the only MS SQL Server I have access to.
Everything was fine before I took down the production server for maintenance. Someone suggested that I re-index my tables because I was having some performance issues with a particularly large table (it didn't help that table btw), so I did re-index.
Now, Everything works wonderfully, except for the performance issue mentioned AND one other thing that is going horribly wrong.
Here is the table:
create table ABMcontactlink ( classifier varchar(20) not null, /* Classification of contact. */ transmitter varchar(36) not null, contact integer not null, /* Link to ABMcontact (detail) table */ primary key (classifier,transmitter,contact), foreign key (contact) references ABMcontacts(identifier), group_name varchar(20) null,
last_modification_date datetime, /* Date/time record last touched */ last_modification_id varchar(40) /* Who last touched record */ )
go create index IndexABMcontactlink on ABMcontactlink(classifier,transmitter) go
create index CandidateABMcontactlink on ABMcontactlink(transmitter) go
As you can see, I have the primary key, which creates a clustered index, PK_ABMContactlink_Some Number, and two other indexes.
Now, this is a very busy production database, and most quick short queries benefit more from CandidateABMContactlink than from the other two indexes.
Unfortunately, in this production system, and this table, seconds count ALOT, so when I have roughly 3000-4000 quereies an hour pulling information from this table, I personally beleive I need to keep CandidateABMContactlink, and I'm not willing to find out on a production server.
** Now to the Problem at Hand **
I have one query that kicks off about 7 times a day, used to take less than 1 minute before the re-index. NOW it takes 30 Minutes. And it drags the system to a crawl.
I did some looking into it, and this query is using CandidateABMContactlink, and it takes 30 minutes. If it uses PK_Abmcontactlink it finishes in under 45 seconds.
Most queries are simple, "Select Column_names from abmcontacts where identifier in (select contact from abmcontactlink where transmitter = 'XXXXXX')"
This one is:
select * from ABMcontacts where ( (last_modification_date >= '2006-04-28 04:40:03' and last_modification_date <= '2006-05-09 16:41:14') and EXISTS(select contact from ABMcontactlink where contact = identifier and EXISTS(select transmitter_id from ABMtransmitter where transmitter_id = transmitter and (dealer = 'XXXX'))))
or (EXISTS(select contact from ABMcontactlink where (last_modification_date >= '2006-04-28 04:40:03' and last_modification_date <= '2006-05-09 16:41:14') and contact = identifier and EXISTS(select transmitter_id from ABMtransmitter where transmitter_id = transmitter and (dealer = 'XXXX'))))
I can't change the query, so how do I make it use the Index I want it to use without removing the index that it is using? (I know there are much better ways to write the above query, I'm not the culprit, if I could re-write it, I would)
This query should always return 1 row with columns visid, cid, visdate, comment. How can I get the value of visdate in textbox1? This already works when the query is in a vb sub but I want to know how to do it this way too. <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ connection string here%>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [vis] WHERE ([visID] = @visID)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="Label1" Name="visID" PropertyName="Text" Type="Int32" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Style="left: 117px; position: relative; top: 160px"></asp:TextBox>

Hi all, As my user runs a query for her data, the query shows up with someone else's data. Can somebody tell me what happened and how o fix the problem. Thanks!
I have to pull values from a mysql table, then loop through the result set using the value in an mssql query as shown below. I also have an array ($all_lobs[]) of about 100 values that must be looped through for each value pulled from the mysql table:
$tod=date("n/j/Y",time());
//this is pulling the data from the mysql table $query2="select CustId from prospect_CustId "; $result2=mysql_query($query2,$link_id_mysql); while($custs=mysql_fetch_row($result2))
[Code] .....
If I pull only 100 records from the mysql table, this takes about 1 second to run. However, if I pull 200 records, it takes about 60 secs to run. And, if I pull 300 records, it takes about 200 secs to run. After about 500 records, it takes almost a second per record to run!
Since I have 20,000+ records to pull, this takes hours...
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to modify the mssql tables at all, only query them.
Hi all, i have a problem ... if there is a query that returns so many rows. I want to know where the result is stored? for example:what database?, what table?, what transaction log file? Thanks fr reading.
