I have a copy of class schedules with only students that are taking half of a full year class in a separate table. The table lists the term that the students are taking so I joined that table to the actual class schedule table via the code below. The values are 1 & 2 and if it's null (not taking half of a full year class) it's a 9. So now I only need 9s and 2s to bell pulled from the script below. How do I go about doing that since HLF_Term is not a real column?

Using SQL Server 2000. How can I refer to one alias in another column?E.g., (this a contrived example but you get the idea)SELECT time, distance, (distance / time) AS speed, (speed / time) AS acceleration FROM dataNote how the speed alias is used in the definition of acceleration alias but this doesn't seem to work.
I was wondering if there is a way that you can set the alias name of a column to a value that resides in another table instead of the alias being a static value that you type in.
If anyone has any ideas on ho i can accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and are having some troubble with sorting a paged result set. I'm using the OVER Clause to achieve the sorting and paging and have the following query:1 WITH ProjectList AS 2 ( 3 SELECT 4 Id, 5 Name, 6 Created, 7 (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM UserProjects WHERE ProjectId = p.Id) AS NumberOfUsers, 8 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS 'RowNumber' 9 FROM Projects p 10 ) 11 SELECT * 12 FROM ProjectList 13 WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60;
This works fine, and give me the results i want. The problem occurs when I want to sort by "NumberOfUsers" which is the results of a sub query.When i say "ORDER BY NumberOfUsers" instead of Id on line 8, I get the following error: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 10Invalid column name 'NumberOfUsers'. I read this in the documentation: When used in the context of a ranking window function, <ORDER BY Clause> can only refer to columns made available by the FROM clause. An integer cannot be specified to represent the position of the name or alias of a column in the select list. <ORDER BY Clause> cannot be used with aggregate window functions. So this means that what I'm trying to do is not possible. How can I then sort by NumberOfUsers? Is there any other way to achieve this
Hi All, I am currently transferring my Access application to SQL Server. Access allows you to declare and use aliases in the query at the same time.
e.g. Select field1 as Alias1, field2 as Alias2, Alias1 & " " & Alias2 as Alias3 from table1;
In Access the above query will execute perfectly, no problem. However in SQL Server, if you try to run the same query it will give an error "Invalid column name Alias1" meaning that SQL Server is searching for Alias1 as a field in the table, not as an alias from the query.
My question is does SQL Server have a facility to declare and use alias directly as in Access and if no, is there a workaround?
Is there a way to use a column alias in an another calculation within thesame query? Since I am using some long and complex logic to compute total1and total2, I don't want to repeat the same logic to compute the ratio ofthose two columns. I know that I can do a nested query, but that seems toolengthy as well since I actually have many, many columns.selecttotal1 = sum(case(long complex logic)),total2 = sum(case(another long complex logic)),ratio = total1/total2
What I need to do is to create 3 columns with 3 different aliases from the same table that will return all the values during the following conditions:
when pricelist = 1
when pricelist = 2
when pricelist = 3
pricelist -------- 1 2 3
Price -------- 912 -- (linked with 1) 234 -- (linked with 3) 56 -- (linked with 2) 3245 -- (linked with 3) 234 -- (linked with 1) 65 -- (linked with 2)
these 2 columns are in the same table^^
so what i want my query to generate is:
Price1 -------- 912 234
Price2 -------- 56 65
Price3 -------- 234 3245
Any help is apprecieated, thanks
if the above does not make sense to you maybe this will: "can you make 3 aliases of the same column and only display the rows inside each column where pricelist = 1 for the 1st alias... where price = 2 for the 2nd alias...where pricelist = 3 for the 3rd alias"
Hi,I got 'Invalid Column Name NewCol1' when I query the following:Select col1, col2, (some calculation from the fields) as NewCol1,(some calculation from the fields) as NewCol2,NewCol1 = NewCol2 fromTable1 inner join Table2 inner join Table3....Where.....Basically, I want to find out if NewCol1 = NewCol2 after thecalculationAny advice?Thanks in advance. Your help would be greatly appreciated.Wanda
Hai Guys, I have a doubt Regarding SqlDataReader i can able to create object to Sqlconnection,Sqlcomand etc... but i am unable to create object for SqlDataReader ? Logically i understand that SqldataReader a way of reading a forward-only stream of rows from a SQL Server database. This class cannot be inherited. sqlDatareader belongs to which class is it sealed or static class? can we create own class like SqldataReader ....... Reply Me ...... if any one know the answer..............
I have a form that loads a dataset. This dataset is composed from SQL statements using alias and unions. Basically it takes uses data from 3 tables. This dataset also has a alias column called ClientName that consists of either people's name or business name.In addition, the form also consist of a search field that allows user to enter the 'ClientName' to be searched (i.e. to search the alias column). So, my question is how can the alias column be searched (user can also enter % in the search field)Function QueryByService(ByVal searchClientNameText As String) As System.Data.DataSet If InStr(Trim(searchClientNameText), "%")>0 Then searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName LIKE '" & searchClientNameText & "'"Else searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName = @searchClientNameText"End If Dim queryString As String = "SELECT RTrim([People].[Given_Name])"& _"+ ' ' + RTrim([People].[Family_Name]) AS ClientName, [Event].[NumEvents],"& _"[Event].[Event_Ref]"& _"FROM [Event] INNER JOIN [People] ON [Event].[APP_Person_ID] = [People].[APP_Person_ID]"& _searchStatement + " "& _"UNION SELECT [Bus].[Organisation_Name],"& _"[Event].[NumEvents], [Event].[Event_Ref]"& _"FROM [Bus] INNER JOIN [Event] ON [Bus].[APP_Organisation_ID] = [Event].[APP_Organisation_ID] "& _searchStatement ..........End Function
I have an Access database, that is in connection with sql server. On my computer with access2007 i have no problems with viewing tables and stuff.
But on other computers with access2003 it gives an error when i use this query:
INSERT INTO [tbl_sap-staffel] ( ItemCode, CardCode, [Amount-0], [Price-0], [Amount-1], [Price-1], [Amount-2], [Price-2] ) SELECT [qry_sap-spp-0].ItemCode, [qry_sap-spp-0].CardCode, [qry_sap-spp-0].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-0].Price, [qry_sap-spp-1].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-1].Price, [qry_sap-spp-2].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-2].Price FROM ([qry_sap-spp-0] LEFT JOIN [qry_sap-spp-1] ON ([qry_sap-spp-0].ItemCode = [qry_sap-spp-1].ItemCode) AND ([qry_sap-spp-0].CardCode = [qry_sap-spp-1].CardCode)) LEFT JOIN [qry_sap-spp-2] ON ([qry_sap-spp-1].ItemCode = [qry_sap-spp-2].ItemCode) AND ([qry_sap-spp-1].CardCode = [qry_sap-spp-2].CardCode);

I am working on migrating view from Ms Access to SQL server. I got a query and modified it by removing IIF by CASE WHEN. I landed into following query:
Code: SELECT CASE WHEN <CONDITION> THEN DATEADD(YYYY,YR1,DATEADD(D,DAY1,TXNDATE)) ELSE 0 END AS CurrentDateAdj, Year(CurrentDateAdj) + '_' + 'some text and processing') FROM INCREMENTDATATABLE;
Here DAY1 and YR1 are from INCREMENTDATATABLE.
I am getting error that CurrentDateAdj not found. How can I fix this?
I have a program that connects to SQLServer 2000 through ADO connection.
the program executes the following query:
SELECT ax.AccNo, (SELECT Accounts.ProductCode FROM Accounts WHERE h.ID=Accounts.ID) As Product FROM dbo.History h LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.AccXRef ax ON h.ID= ax.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.States ON h.[HistoryItemsub-Type] = dbo.States.Type LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CustXRef cx ON h.CustomerNo = cx.CustomerNo WHERE HistoryItemDate <= getdate() ORDER BY HistoryItemDate ASC
This query works in th program and in Query Analyer on my machine. However, On a different Machine (and different SQLServer) the query works in Query Analyser but does not work in the program, the following exception is thrown:
The column prefix 'h' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query
I want to create column name dynamically in select list.
create table #temp(name varchar(10), sale int) insert into #temp values('john',1000) insert into #temp values('Mike',500) insert into #temp values('Abhas',200) select name,sale as sale from #temp
Now i want change column alias only , not value. I need to concatenate sale with year value of getdate(). i.e. column header concatenation only, not a output value.
I am creating a Metadata management application for a business intelligence platform on SQL Server 2005.
For this purpose, I've set out to consolidate all DB-object metadata (Databases, Tables, Columns, Views) into a single repository that business users can browse through. It has been fairly straightforward so far, but I've hit a wall in the views department.
In fairly simple terms, I want to know which physical columns are selected in a view, with the twist of also knowing the columns' alias. This seems to be impossible as far as I can tell, it is easy enough to get both of these independently, but I can't figure out how to connect an alias to an actual column.
(I prefer to use the metadata catalog views to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA as I need to know the object_id's)
Aliases are easy enough to obtain:
select object_id, column_id, name from sys.columns where object_id = object_id('SomeViewsName');
As are the 'physical' columns: SELECT t.object_id as TABLE_OID, c.column_id as COLUMN_OID, c.name FROM sys.views v JOIN sys.sql_dependencies d ON d.object_id = v.object_id JOIN .sys.objects t ON t.object_id = d.referenced_major_id JOIN sys.columns c ON c.object_id = d.referenced_major_id AND c.column_id = d.referenced_minor_id WHERE d.class < 2 AND v.name = 'SomeViewsName';
As I've said before, the problem is joining these two datasets. One of the problems associated with this is that the latter query also returns columns used in JOIN statements, even if they are not projected in the select part of the view definition.
Ultimately I'd like to get this result:
Alias used in View, physical table's object id, physical column's id
I have created a view and one of the columns in the view has an alias assigned to it.
I'm able to read the metadata from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE and also lookup from which table each column in the view orginated from except for the column that has an alias assigned to it.
Is there any other way to lookup a column that has an alias assigned to it?
We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server. Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects? Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2? Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too? Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?
I'm using this query to to calculate yearly finance values.
select [Year],[FinanceValue-2014],[FinanceValue-2013],[FinanceValue-2012],[FinanceValue- 2014]-[FinanceValue-2013] as [FinanceValue Variance]
Now I need to multiply the [FinanceValue Variance] * 2.50 and for that how can I use the alias name as column in the query. I tried this but it says invalid column name.
select [Year],[FinanceValue-2014],[FinanceValue-2013],[FinanceValue-2012],[FinanceValue- 2014]-[FinanceValue-2013] as [FinanceValue Variance], [FinanceValue Variance] * 2.50 as [NewVariance] from Finance
SumofVariance output will be like 5690.5893656 Also how can I show the SumofVariance to round off 4 decimal places like this 5690.5894.
Hey All, I am new to programming in SQL developer and I was hoping one of you kind salmon of knowledge could help me I am running an SQL script every 15 minutes to pull data. I would like to insert the results into a column in a table. I have two issues: 1.How can I give the result column the current time stamp as an alias? 2.How can I add this column to the results table (I know its Alter table but do I put this into the insert sql?)
I'm learning replication (snapshot for now) and was trying filtering & got strange results.
SQL 2K sp2
Publisher: Table1
FieldA FieldB FieldC
Subscriber: Table1
FieldA FieldB FieldC
But now, I decide after the fact to filter FieldC. The subscriber Table still has 3 fields, but the publisher data from Field 1 + 2 gets shifted across all 3 fields at the subscriber.
If I manually drop the table at the subscriber, then next time the job runs, it recreates the table with just 2 fields and looks good.
Is there some way to set replication so that it will drop & re-create the subscriber table automatically if the filter changes ? Or am I missing something else in my understanding ?
Under "Default Table Article Properties - Snapshot" the option "DROP the existing table & recreate it" is checked. When does that apply ?? Just when first set up ?
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:

I get the error "The column prefix 'contacts' does not match with a table name or alias used in the query".I am trying to obtain all fields from the communications table whether it is used or NULL.
I am trying to compare Sales value of year 2015 with sales value of 2016 and the difference stored in alias column as Sales_growth for year 2016 , for year 2015 the alias column be as '1' similarly difference between margin of 2015 and 2016 and result stored in alias column as margin_rate in year 2016for 2015 as 1 but when there is no record for year 2015 and record present in 2016 for a given (month, SM,SG,CUST,SP) then the alias column sales_growth and margin_rate should be 100
last record : as there is no record for year 2015 and record present in 2016 for a given (month, SM,SG,CUST,SP) then the alias column sales_growth and margin_rate should be 100
