I'd like to ask my question with the data sample this time. Below is my table with 3 phone numbers, null, zero, less than 10 digits, I'd to get as an out put phone with not null, zero, or less than 10 digits .I couldn't run that CASE statement. Please HELP ......SOS.. Thanks
Wondering if possible to use case function in where clause of T-SQL statement. I have this application that needs to get the recordsets based on the day of the date selected that is @dDay in one of these set of values {0,7,14,21, more). Though, I know that if I use either of this: datediff(dd,@startdate,@today) = @dDay or convert(varchar(12), @startDate, 101) between convert(varchar(12), @today, 101) and convert(varchar(12), dateadd(dd,@dDay, @today), 101) It will work for only the values that are specific as in number but what of if "more" is selected which means that from that day upward, can i use this T-SQL to accomplish this. PLease help Any suggestion is welcome. thanks
Hi I am wanting to use some thing like the IIF function in Access in a SQL view I did some looking n your Forum and found the case function its awsome does what I need but i can not use it in a view. Does any one have an alternate solution .. Thanks Jakes
My "Case"
USE SysproCompanyB GO SELECT dbo.ZZCuCostValue.Supplier, dbo.ZZCuCostValue.StockCode, dbo.ZZCuCostValue.[Year], dbo.ZZCuCostValue.[Month],'RandCost' = CASE WHEN BuyMulDiv IS NULL THEN '0' WHEN BuyMulDiv = 'M' THEN round(dbo.ZZCuCostValue.UnitCost * dbo.ZZCuCostValue.ExchangeRate,4) WHEN BuyMulDiv = 'D' THEN round(dbo.ZZCuCostValue.UnitCost / dbo.ZZCuCostValue.ExchangeRate,4) ELSE 0 END FROM dbo.ApSupplier INNER JOIN dbo.TblCurrency ON dbo.ApSupplier.Currency = dbo.TblCurrency.Currency INNER JOIN dbo.ZZCuCostValue ON dbo.ApSupplier.Supplier = dbo.ZZCuCostValue.Supplier
Starting to play around with SQL server at work and this is my question:
In the query design mode in access I can make one of the fields an expression that is driven by a built-in switch function. i.e. Switch([CategoryName] Like "Beverage","Drink",[CategoryName] Like "Cheese","Dairy") This results in the additional column field I created to display "Drink" for each record that has the CategoryName = "Beverage", and "Dairy" for "Cheese".
Can I do something like this in SQL server in the view designer itself, or do I need to make a user defined function and call it?
WHEN 1 THEN (Select name From Table2 where Table2.Code=Table1.Code) WHEN 2 THEN (Select name From Table3 where Table3.Code=Table1.Code) WHEN 3 THEN (Select name From Table4 where Table4.Code=Table1.Code) END
FROM Table1
Do I need to use Function instead of CASE for better performance ?
I need to refine a query in which one of the search conditions would depend on the value evaluated from the CASE function in SELECT statement. This returned column is named as "SLA". Now, the problem is I don't know how to recall this column in the WHERE clause as to do refinement. When I code it like SLA = @Term, SQL Server returned an error: Invalid column name 'SLA'
If anyone knows a solution, please kindly let me know.
Thank you!
Here is the sample code:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_premium_register] @PolicyType AS VARCHAR(10), @ReportFrom AS DATETIME, @ReportTo AS DATETIME, @Business AS VARCHAR(1), @Term AS VARCHAR(1)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB,
SLA = CASE WHEN DateDiff(day, P.EffectiveFrom, P.EffectiveTo) > 1 THEN 'L' WHEN DateDiff(day, P.EffectiveFrom, P.EffectiveTo) <= 1 THEN 'S' END
FROM DNIssue D LEFT OUTER JOIN KILRIShare S ON (D.PolicyNo = S.PolicyNo AND D.PolicyType = S.PolicyType AND D.Origin = S.Origin AND D.EndorsementNo = S.EndrNo AND D.PartyNo = S.RINo) LEFT OUTER JOIN KILPolicy P ON (D.PolicyNo = P.PolicyNo AND D.PolicyType = P.PolicyType AND D.Origin = P.Origin AND D.EndorsementNo = P.EndrNo) LEFT OUTER JOIN v_report_KILDNFund F ON (D.DebitNote = F.DebitNote) LEFT OUTER JOIN PolicyProfile R ON R.Origin = D.Origin AND R.PolicyType = D.PolicyType
WHERE SLA = @Term
Order by D.PolicyType, D.DebitNote, D.Origin, D.PolicyNo, D.EndorsementNo, D.EntryDate
can insert statement works fine in case when function
for example
case when condition1=true then (first insert statement based on some condition) when condition2=true then (second insert statement based on some other condition) end
I am selecting the count of the students in a class by suing select COUNT(studentid) as StCount FROM dbo.student But I need to use a case statement on this like if count is less than 10 I need to return 'Small class' if the count is between 10 to 50 then I need to return 'Medium class' and if the count is more than 50 then 'Big class'.
Right now I am achieving this by the following case statement
SELECT 'ClassSize' = CASE WHEN Stcount<10 THEN 'Small Class' WHEN Stcount>=10 and StCount<=50THEN 'Medium Class' WHEN Stcount>50 THEN 'Big Class' END FROM( select COUNT(studentid) as Stcount FROM dbo.student) Stdtbl
My database is not case-sensitive, but I want output like...
SELECT patindex('%[A-Z]%','gaurang Ahmedabad')
The output should be first occurrence of uppercase A to Z, so output should be 9 it should not be 1.
Above query is giving output as 1 bcoz the 1st character in the expression is 'g' and it is in A to Z, but this is not capital 'G'. The 1st capital letter in the expression is 'A' (9th character in the expression).
Is there anyway to achieve this using PATINDEX? or Is there any other way to achieve this?
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'm running the following test query on a single table:
SELECT sph.datestamp, sph.stocksymbol, sph.closing, DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp), CASE DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp) WHEN 'Monday' then 'Monday' ELSE (SELECT CAST(sph2.datestamp AS nvarchar) FROM BI_Test.dbo.StockDB AS sph2 WHERE sph2.DateStamp = DATEADD(d, -1, sph.datestamp) AND sph2.StockSymbol = 'NYA') END AS TestCase,
[Code] ....
And here's an example of the output I'm getting:
Why the exact same subquery in the THEN of the second CASE statement is returning NULL when the first one completes as expected?
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
I'm trying to create a case function for home phone ,work phone and cell phone. The thing is some of the home phone numbers either null, zero or less than 10 digits then i'd like to get either cell phone or work phone if they are not null, zero or less than 10 digits.
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?
Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to search against a SQL Server 2000 using a case insensitive search when SQL Server 2000 is a case sensitive installation?
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 am working in a SQL server database that is configured to be case-insensetive but I would like to override that for a specific query. How can I make my query case-sensitive with respect to comparison operations?
I am curious with using replication in sql server 2005 one way from db A (source) replicating to db B(destination) in which db A has a collation of CS and db B has a collation of CI. Will there be any problems with this scenario? Thanks in advance!
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?
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.
Yesterday I received a response to my CI/CS Collation problem and therecommendation was to try and restore a CI Collation database to a CSCollation database. After creating a blank CS database a full restore(Force restore over existing database) does change the Collation toCI. I'm unsure as to how I can restore without changing theCollation. Any suggestions?
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
Can anybody know ,how can we add builtin functions(ROW_NUMBER()) of Sql Server 2005 into database library. I get this error when i used into storeprocedure : ROW_NUMBER() function is not recognized in store procedure. i used MS SQL SERVER 2005 , so i think "ROW_FUNCTION()" is not in MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. I need to add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. Can anbody know how we can add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library?
I want to write function to call another function which name isparameter to first function. Other parameters should be passed tocalled function.If I call it function('f1',10) it should call f1(10). If I call itfunction('f2',5) it should call f2(5).So far i tried something likeCREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[func] (@f varchar(50),@m money)RETURNS varchar(50) ASBEGINreturn(select 'dbo.'+@f+'('+convert(varchar(50),@m)+')')ENDWhen I call it select dbo.formuła('f_test',1000) it returns'select f_test(1000)', but not value of f_test(1000).What's wrong?Mariusz
