when i execute the above query it gives me the following error message.

Invalid column name 'col99'.
The query below at the bottom works, but when I try to add the line below (a third line/argument in the CASE statement) then I get an error. It is not possible to have a table name and a DESC (sort order) in the same CASE line/argument. Are there other ways to accomplish this, because I would like to sort with both "h.ObjectType" and "h.ObjectType DESC"? WHEN @SortBy = 2 THEN h.ObjectType DESC SELECT weight, ObjectText.ObjectId, ObjectText.ObjectType, ObjectText.Title, ObjectText.ShortText FROM @hits h INNER JOIN ObjectText ON h.id = ObjectText.ObjectId AND h.ObjectType = ObjectText.ObjectType WHERE ObjectText.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortBy = 0 THEN weight WHEN @SortBy = 1 THEN h.ObjectType END DESCRegards, Sigurd
I'm trying to set up a statement that gives me a field called 'BINNO' if the payor = Commercial. But, I have a few customers that don't have Commercial. They have a Payor of Grant or Part D. How would I set up a statement that looks for Commerical 1st...then Grant or Part D. I started with this
case when inscomp.payor = 'COMMERCIAL' then INSCOMP.BINNO
I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ; however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks J declare @date set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc
I am trying to order by the field and direction as provided by input parameters @COLTOSORTBY and @DIR while using a CTE and assigning Row_Number, but am running into syntax errors.
Say I have a table called myTable with columns col1,col2,col3,
Here's what I'm trying to do
with myCTE AS ( Select col1 ,col2 ,col3 ,row_number() over (order by case when(@DIR = 'ASC') then
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 asc when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 asc else col3 asc end else
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 desc when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 desc else col3 desc end end from myTable )
Please let me know what i can do with minimal code repetition and achive my goal of dynamically sorting column and direction. I do not want to use dynamic SQL under any circumstance.
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.
Aim – when Fee_Code = ‘42B’ and month_end_date =>2013-02-01 change the Fee_Code from “42B” to “42C”. Anything prior to 2013-02-01 the fee_code needs to remain the same
I can do this as a case statement(as seen below) but this creates a new column. How can i overwrite this logic in the fee_code column ?My query is
SELECT FDMSAccountNo, Fee_Code, month_end_date, sum(Fact_Fee_History.Retail_amount) as 'PCI', Case when fee_code = '42B' and (month_end_date >='2013-02-01') then '42C' end as Test from Fact_Fee_History
I'm new to SQL Server and would like to add a calculated column to this query from the report writer in our ERP system based on the NextFreq case statement result.
Basically, I want to create a column called service with result as follows:
If IV.meter > NextFreq then the result should be 'OVERDUE' If (NextFreq - IV.meter) <50 then the result should be 'DUE SOON' Otherwise the result should be 'NOT DUE'
This is the code from the current report writer query:
Select IV.item, IV.meter, isnull(wt.name,0)as name, case when whh.meterstop is null then 0 end meterstop, whh.rejected, Case when cast(meterstop as int) > 0 then cast(meterstop as int) when meterstop is null then isnull(IV.meter,0) else isnull(IV.meter,0) end EndMeter, ISNULL(CAST(SUBSTRING(wt.name,1,4)as int),0) as LastFreq, case when whh.rejected = 1 then ISNULL(CAST(SUBSTRING(wt.name,1,4)as int),0) when ISNULL(CAST(SUBSTRING(wt.name,1,4)as int),0) = 0 then 100 when ISNULL(CAST(SUBSTRING(wt.name,1,4)as int),0) = 100
I have an SSIS package in which I need to include a derived column. I've done derived columns a ton when there is just one condition being "tested". In this case there are two. I have the following update statement for a table I'm inserting data into:
UPDATE STAGING_DIM_AR_INVOICE SET SC_CODE = ( CASE WHEN REC_TYPE = 'P' AND SC_CODE IS NULL THEN 'ag' WHEN REC_TYPE = 'I' AND SC_CODE IS NULL THEN 'OL'
[Code] ....
I'd like to be able to address this case on the load itself. I've used CONDITIONAL before, but not sure how that would work in this case. I'm trying to keep it as "simple" as possible.
Table 2 contains meta-data for Table 1, specifically, it has two columns: column, meta-data
Table 2s data is something like:
column,metadata col_1,name col_2,email col_3,city
(Hopefully, my description of the design makes sense.basically; Table 2s data describes whats in each column of Table 1).
So, the question, if I want to write a SELECT on Table 1, how can I use the data in Table 2 as aliases (or column) headers.
Im currently going down the path of building dynamic SQL statements in T-SQL.but before I get too far, wanted to vet this idea here (its always been a fantastic resource for me)
Price ----- 777 888 999 777 888 999 777 888 999 (pretend these columns are side by side) ======================
I need to make a query to: SELECT PRICE AS 'PRICE1' WHERE PRICELIST = 1 AND SELECT PRICE AS 'PRICE2' WHERE PRICELIST = 2 AND SELECT PRICE AS 'PRICE3' WHERE PRICELIST = 3
the output that i want is:
PRICE1 ------ 777 777 777
PRICE2 ------ 888 888 888
PRICE3 ----- 999 999 999 (pretend these columns are also side by side)
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]

CASE WHEN [MAIN_GAME] IS NULL AND combo.[CAT_PRODUCT] ='25' THEN 'Standalone' WHEN [MAIN_GAME] IS NULL AND combo.[CAT_PRODUCT] <> '25' THEN 'No main game' ELSE LOWER(prod.[TX_PRODUCT_NAME]) END AS [TX_MAIN_GAME]

[Code] .....
So,if we look at the result set, we notice 2 conditions where the IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username is like 'Data' and if we see the transaction date then sometimes that is the max transaction date or sometimes there are transactions that happened after but that doesn't have like '%data%' in username . So, i need to add a new column to my sql query which should basically verify if the username is like '%data%' and if that is the max(transaction date) or even if there are any transactions after that doesn't have like '%data%' then YES else No.
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?
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810 8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760 22810
Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.

i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END
Hello friends, I want to use select statement in a CASE inside procedure. can I do it? of yes then how can i do it ?
following part of the procedure clears my requirement.
SELECT E.EmployeeID, CASE E.EmployeeType WHEN 1 THEN select * from Tbl1 WHEN 2 THEN select * from Tbl2 WHEN 3 THEN select * from Tbl3 END FROM EMPLOYEE E
can any one help me in this? please give me a sample query.
It will be part of the stored proc, but for now I couldn't even get it running in ssms. It will be two parameters/variables, one for order by column name and other for order by direction, i.e. desc or asc.I have tried following three ways, but none is working:
(1) order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID end desc case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID end asc
(2) order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID desc end case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID asc end
(3) ORDER BY CASE @Sort_by when '[A_ID]' then [A_ID] end Case @Sort_Dir when 'Desc' then desc end
Hi, We got a problem. supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a ( aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, aName string2 NOT NULL ) go ALTER TABLE a ADD CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId) go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); ... ... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName Result is: 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName Result is: 11Bank of abcde 10Bank of abcde 9Bank of abcde 8Bank of abcde 7Bank of abcde 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

I'm unable to specify multiple columns in my order by statement if i use a case statement. Does anyone know why this is, or what syntax would make this work?

I have a query which filters records containing uppercase andLowercase i.e.Smith and SMITH, Henderson and HENDERSON etc.Is there a way that I can filter only those records that contain thefirst uppercase letter and the remaining lowercase letters for myquery i.e. Smith , HENDERSON etc.Thanks
I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.
SELECT CASE WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2) WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1) ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END
This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.
