I have a table with values
id diff
1 5
2 10
5 5
6 15
7 20
8 10
10 5
11 10
12 15
I need a sum of such records whose id are continous.I mean the output should be
id sum
2 15
8 50
12 25
Id 1 & 2 are continous so it is added.But after 2 the next number is not 3 so it wont be in the sum of 1 & 2.From 5 to 8 numbers are continous so those diff are added & so on.

I have two columns.
policyNumber contains a 12-13 varchar string
AllPolicyNumbersIncluded contains one or more 12-13 varchar strings (policy nums) seperated by commas
I want to check if policyNumber is contained in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded?
I have policyNumber LIKE AllPolicyNumbersIncluded which works when only one policy number is in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded and incidently works switched around AllPolicyNumbersIncluded LIKE policyNumber I assume because they are equal.
Can anyone tell me how to check if one column's value is a substring of another - without going through every possible substring of the second

Can't seem to get my head around this: I'm looking for a way to select only those varchar(10) values that soley consist of numbers. Leading spaces are allowed.
I tried using isnumeric, but it also allows those with periods, comma's etc.
Also tried using like, but the length of the varchar column varies too much to do a like '[0-9][0-9]....'.
As a solution I currently do a combo of isnumeric, not like '%.%', not like '%,%' etc. I need to do a conversion to an int to join another table, but the convert still fails. Not sure where and why.
I'm thinking there should be a better way than create a hughe list of "not like " but it looks like I'm in the woods here...

In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits
e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int
SELECT af.AccomType, af.AccomRef, af.AccomName,af.address1, af.address2, bf1.RoomCode,
Convert(Int,Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(REPLAC E(Replace(MAX(bf1.EndBook),'°','200'),'´','204'),' 99','1999'),'97','1997'),'47',1947),'98','1998')) AS max_date,
...............
WHERE
af.Resort=@strResort
AND
(af.AccomType = 'H' OR af.AccomType = 'O')
AND
max_date>20040721
order by max_date.
Problem is I get an error saying invalid column max_date. It works in the order by clause when I get rid of the
'max_date>20040721 '.
Thanks

I am trying to query multiple columns for a specific value. I have 8 columns (values are either 1 or 0)and I want to query the table to find out which rows contain zero's in ALL of the 8 columns. Whats the best way to do this? I can create a lenghty select statement where column1 =0 and column2 =0 and column3=0 and column4 =0 and column5 =0 .... etc. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?
Thanks in Advance

Can you tell me if this is possible? (and how to do it!!)
The application is VS2005, with sql database.
I want to check if a specific column exists in a specific table in the database and if not then add it, all via my application.
I'm happy knowing how to connect to the database & pass sql commands (as I'm doing that anyway to set off backups), but not the actual queries I'd need.

Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?

I receive the following error when creating a CHECK constraint that references another column. According to the good old Wrox SQL Server book, I'm using the correct syntax. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks in advance!
Server: Msg 8141, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column CHECK constraint for column 'end_date' references another column, table 'Session'.
Here's an example of the script that I'm using:
CREATE TABLE Session (
session_key char(18) NOT NULL,
course_key char(18) NOT NULL,
site_key char(18) NOT NULL,
instructor_key char(18) NOT NULL,
start_date smalldatetime NULL,
end_date smalldatetime NULL
CHECK (end_date >= start_date)
)
.

How do I alter a column check constraint?
I have the table:
CREATE TABLE Mytable(
mykey integer,
mycol integer
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 1 AND 2)
PRIMARY KEY(mykey))
How do I change the constraint to
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 0 AND 2)
...without losing any data?
Thanks!

say i have a table, and in it are two columns, column1 and column2 and i do the following query:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table WHERE column2 = '12345'
i want to check if column1 has all the same values, so in the first case, no
column1 column2
------- --------
4 12345
9 12345
5 12345
column1 column2
------- --------
9 12345
9 12345
9 12345
in the 2nd case, column1 contains all the same values, so yes
is there anyway i can check this? i would be doing this in a trigger.. say when a new row is inserted, the value of column1 is inserted, but col 2 is null.. so when they try to fill in the value for col2 of that row, the trigger checks to see if the value they put for col 2 is already in the table.. if it isn't, then everything is ok. but if it is already in teh table, then it checks col1 to see if all the values of col1 are the same
i hope this makes sense
thanks

Hi All,
We have a very convoluted ETL system which is pulling unnecessary data. First thought is to restrict everything so that only the columns/tables that are necessary are brought back. We have a tons of reporting stored procedures that depend on ETL tables, is there anyway we can find out which column/tables these stored procedures are using?
Thanks!

Dear All,
I wanted to know how do I know or check that whether a column exists in a table. What function or method should I use to find out that a column has already exists in a table.
When I run a T-SQL script which i have written does not work. Here is how I have written:
IF Object_ID('ColumnA') IS NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Table1] DROP COLUMN [ColumnA]
GO
I badly need some help.

How to check to make sure a column does not exist before adding it? Be nice to do this in t-sql code instead of using ado.net. It seems as if the IF NOT EXISTS is not supported in SqlCe 3.1? I am trying to do this but I get the token error:
IF NOT EXISTS (
select *
from Information_SCHEMA.columns
where Table_name='authors' and column_name='NewColumn'
)
select 'no'
Is there a list of all CE supported t-sql commands?
Thanks,
Dan

When generating a check constraint to guarantee that a character column cannot be blank is it best to use comparison operators such as col1 <> '' or to use LEN(col1) > 0? Note that the column in marked as not nullable.

I have a SQL Server 2005 DB in which a design change requires me to drop a column.Is there a way of identifying all references in the DB including functions & stored procs's that reference this column? I understand there are 3rd party products that can do this but was wondering if there was something baked into SQL Server itself.

Hello all,
I am trying to add columns to several tables in a singular database. I want to check to see if the column exists in a given table first before executing the alter table command so that I can skip that command if the column already exists, and avoid aborting my script prematurely. I can't seem to find a way to check for the column's existance. Any suggestions?

I have a table called SrcReg which is having a column name called IsSortSeqNo smallint. I am mapping this column in SSIS and the problem comes when I try to execute against different database which has this table but the column name as ISSortSeqNo. I mean both databases having same name but one with upper case. So SSIS fails executing due to meta validation issue.Is there any way to check whether the column name is in small case or upper case through query?

I have huge export files in a DB and i need to check if there are any datasets that have the same value in the first column, but a different in another one, via a query of course.
Like this:
ID IS NULL
1 1
2 1
3 0
1 0
The expected ID i get as a result of my query should be 1 in this case.

I need to find column names if any after 2 “check” columns.
Scenario: I have a database, with approx 400-1500 tables, depending on installation of software. The software is structured so that, when it synchronizes the SQL database it will create all the columns e.g. custacc, custname etc. and then it will always put in two check columns “CheckOne” and “CheckTwo” these two columns has to be the two last ones. In 99.9 this always works fine, but sometime if the users creates a new field in the software, when it synchronizes the new field “lands” behind the two checkfields, which is not good.
So what I am after is a script, which can run through all user tables, tell me if there are columns after the two checkfields and list those tables if any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Henrik.
