writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
I want to combine three fields together as a description in a select statement. When I try using the & or + I'm told that the datatypes are incompatable. How can I join them? (Item_Description is Nvarchar, Item_Cost is Money, Is_Active is bit) Select Item_Description &' '& Item_Cost &' '& Is_Active As Description FROM tblItemList I tried Casting this but same incompatable message. Select Item_Description &' '& CAST(Item_Cost AS NVARCHAR) &' '& CAST(Is_Active AS NVARCHAR) As Description FROM tblItemList What I'm hoping to end up with is: Brake Pedal, $36.00, True
Is it possible to combine fields and text in a select statement? In a dropDownList I want to show a combination of two different fields, and have the value of the selected item come from a third field. So, I thought I could maybe do something like this: SELECT DISTINCT GRP AS GroupName, "Year: " + YEAR + "Grade: " + GRD AS ShowMe FROM GE_Data WHERE (DIST = @DIST)
I hoped that would take the values in YEAR and GRD and concatenate them with the other text. Then my dropDownList could show the ShowMe value and have the GroupName as the value it passes on. However, when I test this in the VS Query Builder, it says that Year and Grade are unknown column names and changes the double-quotes to square brackets. If this is possible, or there's a better way to do it, I'd love some more info. Thanks! -Mathminded
I want to combine two of my fields somewhat like when you combine to char fields and concatenate them. But these two fields are int. How do i do that? Here's my query right now:
Code Block SELECT AutoID, CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Year )+ CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Period_Code) as MarsId FROM NavisionReplication.dbo.Tbl_Mars_Calender ORDER BY Mars_Calender_Year DESC
Good morning.I am importing an XLS file into one of my tables. The fields are:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 2 12:48:45 PM 912/22/2006 16 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 16 12:03:59 PM 2When I do the import, I get the following:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 2 12/30/1899 12:48:45 PM 212/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 12:03:59 PM 2Here are my doubts:1. Would it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into onecolumn? If so, how?2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, ifI leave the fields as they are?Any comments or suggestions will be very much welcomed.Cheers mates.

Here are my doubts:
1. Is it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into one column? Advantages/Disadvantages? 2. If I don't combine them, should I use varchar or datetime data type? 2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, if I leave the fields as they are?

I have 2 tables First is Student_detail and another is Employee_detail. Student_detail have 14 fields like (stud_Firstname,stud_Lastname...) and Employee_detail have 17 fields like(emp_Firstname,emp_Lastname...).there is no relationship between these two table and also not in a relationship with any other table in my database.This is a structure of my db. but i want to get the records from these two table whose first name is same for both the tables.as well as the result of this query will first show me Student_detail record first and then Employee_detail record.but not in a one row.it should be display in one by one.
How to write a sql to combine the 4 tables into one without repetitive records? The 4 tables have exactly the same fields.
The tables do not have primary key. The fields to identiry the rows is name and dob. In the case the name and dob is same for two records, the one with latest date_created is selected.
I have the following table;CREATE TABLE [x_Note] ([x_NoteId] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Note] [varchar] (7200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_Pref_CP1_CI_AS NOTNULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_x_NoteId] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([x_NoteId],) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [USERDATA] ,) ON [USERDATA]GOMy clients want me to take the contents of the Note column for each rowand combine them. In other words, they basically want:Note = Note [accumulated from previous rows] + Char(13) [because theywant a carriage return] + Note [from current record].What is the most efficient and relatively painless way to do this? Ithink it might require a cursor, but I'm not sure if there is a moreelegant set-based method to make this happen.
Hi all,We have an app that uses SQL 2000. I am trying to track when a code field(selcode) is changed on an order which then causes a status field (status)to change. I tried a trigger but the app may use 2 different updatestatements to change these fields depending on what the user does. When thetrigger fires (on update to selcode), the status field has already beenchanged. So my trigger to record the changes from inserted and deleted donot get the true 'before' value of the status field.The app does use a log table that tracks these changes. The problem I amhaving is that 2 records are created, one for the change to selcode andanother for the change to status.I am looking for help with a script to combine the existence of these 2 logrecords into 1 unique record or occurance that I can track.example:ordlog: table that logs order changesordernr: order numbervarname: name of field being changedold_value: contents of field before changenew_value: contents of field after changesyscreated: date/time of log entrySELECT ordernr, varname, old_value, new_value, syscreatedFROM ordlogwhere varname = 'selcode' and ordernr = '10580'SELECT ordernr, varname, old_value, new_value, syscreatedFROM ordlogwhere varname = 'status' and ordernr = '10580' and old_value = 'A' andnew_value = 'O'So I need a way to combine these 2 log entries into a unique occurance. Theordernr and syscreated could be used to link records. syscreated alwaysappears to be the same for the 2 log entries down to the second. Selcodecan change from NULL to a number of different values or back to NULL.Statusis either 'A' for approved or 'O' for open. An order can have many logentries during its life. The selcode may be changed several times for thesame order.Ideally, I would like a result that links 2 log entries and shows the statuschanged from 'A' to 'O' when selcode changed.Thanks for your time.

I need to return one record with concatenated string fields from a table that may contain several records. I think a cursor will be able to do what I want, but I'm not very experienced at writing them.
My data
HDR DMCD 107 TEX 107 AIR 107 LG 108 TEX 108 CAR 109 SM
I want the result of my query to find adn return each header and return the 1 or more DMCD field values concatenated. i.e.
I'm working on a report where my table is as follows:
WITH SampleData (ID,NAME,[VALUE]) AS ( SELECT 170983,'DateToday','6/04/2014' UNION ALL SELECT 170983,'DateToday','6/04/2014' UNION ALL SELECT 170983,'employee','1010' UNION ALL SELECT 170983,'employee','1010'
[Code] .....
Here is my query against the table above:
SELECT ID ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'employee' THEN VALUE END) AS PERSON ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'DateToday' THEN VALUE END) AS REQUEST_DATE ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'LeaveStartDate' THEN VALUE END) AS REQUEST_START_DATE ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'LeaveEndDate' THEN VALUE END) AS REQUEST_END_DATE ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'HoursPerDay' THEN VALUE END) AS REQUESTED_HOURS ,MAX(CASE WHEN NAME = 'LeaveType' THEN VALUE END) AS REQUEST_TYPE
FROM SampleData
Here is the result from the above query, I'm not sure how to get the desired results (listed at the end):
I have a robust query that returns a dataset and the data is good, however some of the records contain the exact same data with the exception of the 'Price' field. I want to combine the records that are identical and SUM the values in the 'Price' field. My query and example return dataset is below.
Query: -------- select distinct 'On-Demand' as 'Business Line', o.OrderID as 'Order #', isnull(d.DisplayCode,'UNK') as Hub, isnull(rz.RouteID,'UNK') as 'Default Route', 'On-Demand' as 'Assigned Route',
i have a table with some data imported from another database. In one table shows some records 'manchester customer [][] phoneline [][] january' when I select these data it display in multilines. that mean 2 squares represent enter key. I need to remove these from the records and replace space. so that i can select field value as a single line how can i do this ?????? pat
I have a table that contains some duplicate records. The entire record is not duplicated, but there are two fields which if both are duplicated, result in what I call a duplicate record. I can see that I have these duplicates by doing the following:
SELECT DISTINCT ReferenceNumber, ShipToCompanyID FROM tabMedia WHERE (MediaTypeID = '1') AND (FinishDate > '2011-01-01') GROUP BY ReferenceNumber, ShipToCompanyID HAVING (COUNT(ReferenceNumber) > 1) AND (COUNT(ShipToCompanyID) > 1) ORDER BY ReferenceNumber
but of course, this only returns two fields. I need the entire record returned where the duplicate exists...
Hi everyone, I have some trouble writing a SQL stored procedure thatcan do the following:We have data in one table in numeric form, but we want to sum the datain this table based on the values of two different alpha fields. Toillustrate, let me write the following example:Table with these records:A B 1.1 2.2 Blah1 Blah1A B 2.3 5.6 Blah2 Blah2B C 7.8 9.1 Blah3 Blah3B C 4.5 1.0 Blah4 Blah4R F 1.1 4.3 Blah5 Blah5B A 3.1 2.7 Blah6 Blah6I need to write a query that will return the following result set fromthe above table:A B 3.4 7.8 Blah1 Blah1B C 12.3 10.1 Blah3 Blah3R F 1.1 4.3 Blah5 Blah5B A 3.1 2.7 Blah6 Blah6If the alphanumberic keys are the same, the sum the numeric columns upwhilst displaying one one of the records, the blah fields don't matterif one only one is displayed. Can anyone recommend the best way to dothis? I'm running MS SQL 2005.Thanks,Herman
I am trying to write a query that will return a full record with a particular distinct field (the rest of the record being the first such record that includes the distinct field).
For example, for the following:
Fruit Like? Colour Apple Y Green Orange N Orange Banana Y Yellow Grape Y Green Grapefruit N Yellow
I would want to return (assuming Colour was the distinct field):
Fruit Like? Colour Apple Y Green Orange N Orange Banana Y Yellow
How do I do this? I've tried using a join (of all different kinds) with a subquery that uses SELECT DISTINCT but this doesn't seem to work. I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take the first found field.
What's the best practice for adding / editing a record into a database with lots of fields ?I am not talking about the mechanics of it, as there are a lot of trivial examples using ADO.NET, stored procs, etc. Deleting is easy, you just pass in (a few) primary key/keys to uniquely identify the record. But in the real world when you have, say, a table with 100 fields! Do you code the INSERT sproc by hand, with 100 parameters... then call it with your ADO.NET code ? sounds like a lot of work to me... What about updating! That's even worst, sometimes you may need to update only 3 or 4 fields, but using sprocs you would have to pass the whole 100 parameters in again, and "update" the whole record (when in fact you are only changing 3 or 4 fields). With the update i could write different sprocs targeting only the fields i wish to update, but that sounds like duplicating work, vs having one generic update proc. Sometimes i just feel like bypassing sprocs and having inline sql as it would be less work... but i know it is untidy.. and more potential to be buggy. So come on guys (and gals)... let's hear your thoughts on how you would handle the insert / update scenarios when you have lots of fields ? Northwind examples are too trivial :-)
