I have a table that tracks some dates, and I am looking for an SQL statemet that will check all of the fields to see if a prespecified data range is true. For exampe you enter a start and end date and then then the SQL statement would check about 12 different fields to see if any of the dates are within that range. I am trying to use an or statement, but to no avail. So if you have any help it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I remember seeing a fancy query that checked for multiple fields in a table (I think using a select statement in the where clause but not sure), but can't remember how to do it... here is what I want to do (and maybe there is a much easier way). Thanks!
Table1 id item color 1 shoe red 2 shoe blue 3 coat green 4 coat black
Table2 item color shoe red coat green
I want everything in Table1 where item and color are not a match.
So my results should be: 2 shoe blue 4 coat black
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question... it's been that kind of a day!
I am going to be writting a script to add columns to a given table. Can anyone advise me how i check if the coulmn exists in a table before i modify it?
I'm trying to write a program in cold fusion to check the existance offields and data types according to requirementsI was looking at the syscolumns table for some of this information butI've discovered that in my playing (creating and deleting tables) threare multiple entries for a field that is in table that is created thendeleted then created again.Is this a problem? Is there a better way to get at the information iethe table, field, and type exist in a database?
I am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:
I have a tables called subsid that I need to change the datatype fromtext to int.I think I got them all but is there a query I can run that will checkall fields call subsid accross all tables that are of type text.
I want to do something with error checking in my company. For this we have a selection of different tables and the data needs to meet various validation rules else it is classed as an error.
To deal with this I'm currently thinking of this approach:
1. Create a view pulling all of the various data together from the multiple tables. 2. Create an empty 'errors' data table. 3. Create an Excel file with a button to call a Check for Errors Script
Then in the the script:
1. Clear the 'errors' data table 2. Call multiple scripts, each of which uses the new view, applies the checks for that specific error and writes any erroring data into the 'errors' data table (along with a text string with the unique error code for filtering / sorting purposes). 3. After calling all the scripts, the table can be refreshed in excel when when used with a pivot table can show the various errors, and let us drill down into all the data so we can fix them.
Also.. Ideally, I'd like some way to write comments in an excel column for each entry and error code and be able to write that back into a comment table.
I've done some simple sql's for searching a field using Like,But this one is different. I am adding a param named @searchText I would like to bring back all records in all the fields listedbelow that has that string in the field... WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerIDAND a.location = c.locationIDAND a.Status = d.statusIDAND a.EquipmentType = e.IDAND a.calLab = f.ID AND a.testTechnology = g.id AND (c.locationID = @location OR @location = 0) So, each line/field above I want to search for the string and includein the dataset. Anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks, Zath
Please point me in the direction of a tutorial that will do help me do the following:
The database has been previously created and the users first & last names are in the respective columns. There is also a column that should contain the full name of the user but as such it only contains <NULL>. Is there a way to pull the first name and last name from the db then write both names to column3?
I have two issues I'm trying to deal with in my code.
1. I'm trying to group by first and last name, which are in two different columns 2. I'm trying to take an average of pay per miles.
Neither of these is working well. Actually, neither is working at all.
This is the code!
SELECT OD.DriverID, (W.FirstName + W.LastName AS 'Driver'), DATEADD(dd,(DATEDIFF(dd,0,O.ReadyTimeFrom)),0) AS Date, DATENAME(dw,O.ReadyTimeFrom) AS DayOfTheWeek, Count(OD.OrderID) AS 'Total Orders', SUM(O.Distance) AS OrderMiles,
Hi all,I'm running into a road block, and I know I've done this before. I'mgetting fields from two tables, and I need to do a count of similaritems with it showing some extra info.Here's my fields:Log.LogId - IntLog.LogDispatcherID - IntOfficer.OfficerID - IntOfficer.OfficerFirstName - VarcharOfficer.OfficerLastName - VarcharI can get the info I need without a count with this:select a.LogID,a.LogDispatcherID,b.OfficerFirstname + ' ' + b.OfficerLastname as OfficerNamefrom[Log] a, Officer bwhere a.LogAssigned1 = b.OfficerIDBut when I try to add a count and group-by it errors out:select Count(a.LogID) as LogCount,a.LogDispatcherID,b.OfficerFirstname + ' ' + b.OfficerLastname as OfficerNamefrom[Log] a, Officer bwhere a.LogAssigned1 = b.OfficerIDGroup By a.LogIDI've done this before, but this isn't working. It's giving the error"it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BYclause" for each field other then LogID.How can I do this? I want output similar to this:LogCountLogDispatchIDOfficerName334Tom Jones422John Smith.... EtcThanks for any suggestions or ideas...Sam Alex
How can I update each record in a table, based on a value in another tablewith a single SQL statement?For example, suppose I have the following two tables:Table1Name Something Color-----------------------------------------John GHAS BlueJohn DDSS BlueJohn EESS BluePaul xxxx RedRingo HJKS RedRingo FFFS RedSara hjkd PurpleSara TTHE PurpleJimi sdkjls GreenTable2Name Color------------------------John ?Paul ?Ringo ?Sara ?Jimi ?How can I update the color field in table 2 to correspond with the colorfield in table1 (so I can normalize the db and delete the color field fromtable1)?I know I could open table2 and loop through within my app; just wonderingabout a single SQL statement that would do it. I need a similar technique inother places as part of my app.Thanks,Calan
I have a am doing some date calcs () . The situation is that I have a Move date (date a customer moved to a new home). I want to calculate their sales for the following 0-3 months after the move (month 0 being the move month). I have the month and year of the move (MthStart, YrStart), and I am adding 3 to MthStart to get the MthEnd of that 0-3 month period. I will then find sales BETWEEN YrStart&MthStart AND YrEnd&MthEnd (there is a YrMth field in the sales table)
Of course, for MthStarts 10, 11, and 12, the ends are 13, 14, and 15. So for these, I need to subtract 12, and increment the YrEnd by 1.
I am wondering if there is a way to update both the MthEnd and YrEnd fields at one time instead of separate SETs (or maybe I am just thinking about this the hard way to begin with). Is there a way to update both in a single CASE statement like WHEN MthEnd> 12 THEN MthEnd-12 AND YrEnd+1?
I'm having trouble using Aggregate functions with multiple fields. Here is what I'm trying to do:
SELECT REPLACE(Cust_Key, sum(PRODUCT_CHARGE), count(Tracking_Number), Tracking_Number FROM Shipments = '2008-05-05' Group By Cust_Key, Tracking_Number
I can get this to work when I use Group By for a single field like Cust_Key but I don't know how to make it work for multiple fields. What is the best way to write something that contains a few aggregate functions on top of multiple fields?
I have an exisitng report that lists unit name, provider, runday, shift, patient. The report groups by unit name and there is a page break after each unit name. So in the current environment the report prints one page per unit that contains all of the providers, rundays, shifts, and patients for that unit name its grouping on. So the report would like like this when it prints:
Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 Provider 2 Runday 2 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit B............(repeat data from page 1) PAGE BREAK Unit C............(repeat data from page 1
The end user would like the ability to keep the report as is but would like to also be able to print the report as one page per each unit name, provider, runday and shift. so it would look like this
Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit A Provider 1 Runday 1 Shift 2
patient 1 patient 2 PAGE BREAK Unit A Provider 1 Runday 2 Shift 1
patient 1 patient 2
So I created a boolean parameter with a prompt of Page break by Unit, Provider, Runday & Shift? My thought is if the users sets this to False, the report will group on just Unit Name (the first example). If the user sets this to True, the report will group on Unit Name, Provider, Runday & Shift.
I set the grouping expression for this data table as: =iif(Parameters!Grouping.Value = "False", Fields!unit_Name.Value,(Fields!unit_Name.Value,Fields!Lname.Value,Fields!Rundays.ValueFields!Shift.Value))
Within the expression editor window it displays a syntax error and the report will not run.
I have a table used by multiple applications. One column is an Identify field and is also used as a Primary key. What isare the best practices to use get the identity value returned after an INSERT made by my code.. I'm worried that if someone does an INSERT into the same table a "zillionth" of a second later than I did, that I could get their Identity value.
I have a table where I need to concatenate all values into one field separated by a comma. If the field is null display a blank value. This is my table structure and example output
Create Table #read ( id int ,field1 varchar(100) ,field2 varchar(100) ,field3 varchar(100) ,field4 varchar(100)
I have a query that produces seperate rows for people, but I want to combine them into one place. I tried doing this in SQL but apparently it's not very easy in SQL Server. You need to loop through a table using cursors. I'm not quite that advanced with SQL Server and was wondering if there might be an easier way just using SSRS.
In other words I have a table as such:
1 John Smith 2 Jane Doe 3 Matthew Jones
And I'd like to create one textbox that contains the following:
I have a very complex (for me, anyway) data transformation problem.
I've been given a flat-file of physician data from another system which must be automated for entry into the SQL server on a regular basis.
This was no problem until we discovered that several fields (all of which we wanted to use) had multiple pieces of information in them, separated by semicolons.
Well, this didn't seem to be too big of a problem, so I wrote a DTS activeX script to handle it. This is what I originally wrote:
'******************* Function Transform() 'Declare variables Dim strOffice Dim strOfficeNew Dim cChar Dim x Dim y Dim z
'Scrub values into new rows strOffice = DTSSource("Col050") x = 1 y = len(strOffice) z = 1
While x <= y cChar = Mid(strOffice, x 1) If cChar <> ";" Then strOfficeNew = strOfficeNew & cChar Else DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew strOfficeNew = "" z = z + 1 End If x = x + 1 Wend
'Insert final record after last semicolon If strOffice <> "" Then DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew End If
Transform = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function '*********************
This, of course, didn't work. WHat I got was the last part of the parsed data, which for the first record, was the second Address in the field.
I searched around, and found the following script that is supposed to allow multiple rows off of a single row, but I can't seem to merge the two and still get the data out clean.
'********** Dim nCounter nCounter = 4
Function Main()
if nCounter > 0 then Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipFetch DTSDestination("PatientNumber") = DTSSource("PatientNumber") Select Case nCounter Case 1 DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Admitting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource ("AdmittingPhysician") Case 2 DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Attending" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource ("AttendingPhysician") Case 3 DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Referring" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource ("ReferringPhysician") Case 4 DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Consulting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource ("ConsultingPhysician") End Select nCounter = nCounter - 1 else nCounter = 4 Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert end if End Function '**************
I'm not a VB Script expert, so there's probably something very simple that I'm missing here... if someone could point it out, I'd be greatly appreciative.
What I need to do is re-populate a unique number into multiple fields,
Let me explain, An employee can appear in the first table only once but can be in the second table multiple times with multiple employee numbers .There is a field called TFN that is unique and we are using it to create a unique id called KRid so what I have done is created 2 tables namely TEST_TBL and TEST2_TBL . In TEST_TBL I am populating a KRid with a unique no being produced by the TFN field only once i.e 12345 being the resulting unique id number. If an employee has 2 employee numbers i.e empno 1 and empno 1000,only employee no 1 will have the unique KRid created but nothing for 1000 because the record already exists , so what has me stumped is that the TFN for employee empno 1 and the TFN for empno 1000 are the same. How do I get the KRid (12345 from empno 1) to populate empno 1000 in TEST2_TBL , The second table has all records in so I can group the second table by TFN id but how do I populate employee 1000 in the second table with the KRid 12345.
Please help!!!!! Below are how the tables are set up and an example of the result.
TABLE 1
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[TEST_TBL]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[TEST_TBL] GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[TEST2_TBL]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[TEST2_TBL] GO
SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPET00.RecordStatus, NPE000.KR_ID, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.SecondName, NPE000.Class, NPE000.DateEmployed, NPE000.DateOfBirth, NPE000.HoursPerDay, NPE000.HoursPerWeek, NPE000.PassportNo, NPE000.AwardCode, NPE000.EmailPayslipTo, NPE000.Location, NPE000.Grade, NPE000.DateTerminated, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.DistCode, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo FROM NPE000 NPE000, NPET00 NPET00 WHERE NPET00.RecordStatus = 0 and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 111111111' and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 000000000' AND LENGTH(NPET00.TaxRefNo) >= 9 AND LENGTH(NPE000.KR_ID) >= 0 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber
Query goes as follows for table 2:
SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.Class, NPE000.Location, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo, NPE000.Paypoint, NPE000.KR_ID, FROM NPE000, NPET00 WHERE Recordstatus = 0 and (EmploymentType = 1 AND EmpStatus = 1 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber
From this you can see that in table 1 it will only create 1 KR_ID for only one employee number but in table 2 I am bringing through all employee records. In table 2 I can group by NPET00.TaxRefNo which will bring all NPET00.TaxRefNo's togeather. From that I would like to populate the other employee numbers with the unique KR_ID.
Let's say I have a table of users. Let's imagine there's two fields: username (PK), password
Now I need to authenticate a user against this table. What is the recommended approach? Is it better / faster to (1) SELECT * FROM [User] WHERE username = 'whatever' AND password='whatever' or (2) SELECT * FROM [User] WHERE username = 'whatever' and then in my code check that the record returned matched the password?

Is there any way to create a chart using data fields from more that one query?
I tried to create two different datasets, but the chart has to be bound to only one dataset. So when I drop the data field from the second dataset onto the chart I get a SQL error.
I've also tried UNION ALL. Each of these queries is correct by itself, but UNION ALL combines GLBUDAMOUNT and GLTRXAMOUNT into one field. I need them to be two different fields so that I can do GLBUDAMOUNT VS GLTRXAMOUNT in the chart.
