I swear I have done this before and can't remember how.
I want to select columns in a SELECT statement by their number instead of name.
I have looked everywhere for the syntax.
Also, is there a function to 'count' the number of columns in a table?
Thanks.

I have a table with number and varchar columns. The last insert statement has 1 inserted.
The select statement should retrieve
a b
1 1
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test1](
[a] [int] NULL,
[b] [varchar](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
insert into test1 values (1,'a')
insert into test1 values (2,'b')
insert into test1 values (4,'d')
insert into test1 values (12,'x')
insert into test1 values (15,NULL)
insert into test1 values (1,1)
Hello,
I have such a problem. Need to add additional column to my query. The column should consist of set of fixed number (same as number of query rows) values (text). At start thought it's simple but now Im lost. Is there any chance to do it. Apreciate any help. I need to tell that I have only access to select on this database so no use of operation on tables.
Got this query and I need the following result;
declare @NumberToCompareTo int
set @NumberToCompareTo = 8
declare @table table
(
number int
)
insert into @table
select 4
[Code] ....
The query selects 4 and 5 of course. Now what I'm looking for is to retrieve the number less or equal to @NumberToCompareTo, I mean the most immediate less number than the parameter. So in this case 5
The select command below will output one patient’s information in 1 row:
Patient id
Last name
First name
Address 1
OP Coverage Plan 1
OP Policy # 1
OP Coverage Plan 2
[code]...
This works great if there is at least one OP coverage. There are 3 tables in which to get information which are the patient table, the coverage table, and the coverage history table. The coverage table links to the patient table via pat_id and it tells me the patient's coverage plan and in which priority to bill. The coverage history table links to the patient and coverage table via patient id and coverage plan and it gives me the effective date.
select src.pat_id, lname, fname, addr1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.coverage_plan_ end) as OP_Coverage1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.policy_id end) as OP_Policy1,
code]...

I have a problem where I essentially want to find all the B_ID numbers that do not have any ones or twos next to them in the whole table (see table below).
I come up with this query, however it is wrong, because certain B_ID do not have a 1 or 2 on some lines, but then they do on others :(.
SELECT B_ID
FROM NUMBER
WHERE NUM != 1
AND NUM != 2;
SELECT * FROM NUMBER;
+------+------+------+
| A_ID | B_ID | NUM |
+------+------+------+
| 101 | 101 | 1 |
| 101 | 102 | 2 |
| 101 | 201 | 3 |
| 101 | 301 | 4 |
| 102 | 201 | 2 |

Hello all, I am using SQL 2000 SP4.
I have a table with a studentID column. Is there any way to select a single
row of data from that column by referencing the row number?
ex. select studentID from Table where row = 2
The above example obviously does not work, but is there a way to do
something similar? I want to go down the table sequentially and knowing any of the data in the other columns does not help me with that at all.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a fairly basic query I want to make but I'm struggling on figuring out how to do it. Let's say I have some fields (e.g. Value1, Value2, Value3, etc). I simply want to do a Select statement that returns the highest value among those fields for every row in my db.
At first I thought of the built in Max function until I realized that is for within a column only.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Hi all,
Hopefully you can assist this pleb (me) with some (hopefully) basic scripting.
I have a table which has bucket loads of rows in it (funnily enough)
Field1 & Field2
Field1 is repeated numerous times (but also has differing values) through the table
Field2 is a numeric value which is assigned to the Field1
What I need to do is pull back all the unique Field1's but only those with the highest value in Field2
Example:
Field1 Field2
blah 100
blah 400
blah1 12
blah1 9
blah1 2
blah 350
I need the return to be basically:
Field1 Field2
blah 400
blah1 12
I am sure that this has to be straight forward - however my brain just isn't connected the right way at the moment....
Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.

Hi
I'm trying to convert and format integer values in a SQL Server select statement to a string representation of the number formated with ,'s (1000000 becomes 1,000,000 for example).
I've been looking at CAST and CONVERT and think the answers there somewhere. I just don'tseem to be able to work it out.
Anyone out there able to help me please?

I am working on a multi-page datagrid that pulls data from a database. The issue I am running into is the SQL select query. What I have is a table to 55 items. What I need to do is grab the first 35 of those items and bind the resulting DataReader to the grid, print the page, then grab the remaining 20 items, bind to the grid and print the page.
I can use "SELECT TOP 35 FROM Table" to get the first 35 items, but I don't know how to get the remaining 20 items. Is there a way to say something like "SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table" but specify only the rows that begin after row 35?
I tried doing this with an ArrayList but couldn't bind it to the DataGrid.
Any suggestions?
Here is the example
state
-----
NY
NJ
CA
NY
NC
NJ

IL

Can we generate a result like this with select statement
state No

CA 2

NJ 1

hey all,
I am writing a sproc:
select @strCourseNameRegFor = sal.CourseName , @strSectionNoRegFor = sal.SectionNo,
@dteStartDateRegFor = sal.StartDate, @dteEndDateRegFor = sal.EndDate,
@dteStartTimeRegFor = sal.StartTime, @dteEndTimeRegFor = sal.EndTime,
@strDaysOfWeekRegFor = sal.DaysOfWeek
from lars.dbo.tblSalesCourse as sal, lars.dbo.tblCourseCatalog as cat
where sal.SchoolYr = @intRegForYear and rtrim(sal.SchoolTerm) = rtrim(@strRegForTerm) and upper(rtrim(sal.CourseName)) = upper(rtrim(@strCourseNamePrev))
and cat.NewStuAllowed = 0 and sal.CourseName = cat.CourseName and sal.Cancelled <> 1 and cat.SchoolYr = sal.SchoolYr
and sal.MaxNoStudents > sal.CurrNoStudents
I want to check if the select returned an empty set or not. I cannot use @@rowcount because i am assigning the values to the local vars. I tried
if @strCourseNameRegFor is null
begin
set @err = 'No courses';
end
but for some reason even if there are any records in the set, the if condition is getting satisfied. Can anyone help?
I am assigning temporary Ids in my table, and right now I am assigning new ones via find the MAX(Temp_Id), stripping out the number and adding one.
Since these are temporary I would like to be able to reuse older ones when they are no longer in the table.
For example I have:
ID0001
ID0002
ID0003
ID0006
My code right now will add ID0007. I would like to re-use ID0004 and ID0005 since they're no longer in use. How do I go about do this?

In other SQL programs I have seen the use of Limit to tell it how many rows to return.
Is there an equivalent in MS-SQL that will let me do a quick Select clause and tell it how many rows to return.
In other words if I just wanted to see the first 10 rows what would I add to Select * from tableA
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedDear GroupI wonder whether you can give me a syntax example for a SQL Statement.Lets assume I've a table containing three columns ContactID (Primary Key),Firstname and Lastname.I would like to write a stored procedure which returns me the first tenrecords and increments an outside variable each time it runs.E.g If I run it the first time I pass the variable as 0 and it will returnme the first ten records and returns the variable value 1.When run a second time, I will pass the variable as 1 and it will return merecords 11-20 and sets the variable to 2 and so on...The difficult thing is how to tell to return me records 11-20. I can't usethe ContactID as someone might have deleted a row and e.g. ContactID 18 ismissing. In this case I only would get 9 rows returned. It always should beten.Thanks very much for your time and efforts!Kind Regards,Martin"There are 10 types of people in this world: Those that understand binaryarithmetic, and those that don't."
