Hello, I have a question, what does a statement look like that finds the duplicate rows and combines them, I have a table named PRODUCTS in it 3 columbs Cost, Stock, Part_number. I need to find all Part_numbers that dublicate, Combine the rows into 1 & combine (sum, add) their stock together is the new row & take an avarerage of their cost and use it as cost in the new row where they combine. Please help me, I am stalled. Looked all over the internet & could not find anything, I really need this for a project I can not finish. I have the following SQL statement: SELECT part_number, COUNT(part_number) AS NumOccurrences FROM Products GROUP BY Part_number HAVING COUNT(part_number) > 1
I have two tables that I UNION to retrieve data for users. A combination of these should have only one employee in the table. The problem is there is a unique id created for the position of instructors. In the other table, it holds all employees with an employee number. Some data such as username, email address, etc., does not change. So even though UNION should remove duplicates, I still have duplicates because of usernames is what I'm filtering on, it is the same in each table. In the combined table I'm only selecting specific employees based on Job class and Job code. For employee id in the first table it is preceeded with 'B', and the second by 'T' (this is only to identify which table the data is taken from). Here is what I am getting when I Union both tables.
query SELECT distinct 'B-'+ Employee_IDÂ as Employee_ID , Username ,EmailÂ
HiWithin a stored procedure I'm getting the next value of a referencenumber using (simplified):BEGIN TRANSACTION@next_ref=select max(ref) from tableinsert into table (ref) values (@next_ref+1)create related records in other tables.COMMIT TRANSACTIONI'm getting duplicate values in a multi-user network, presumablybecause the new record is not commited until the transaction iscomplete and another user starts another transaction and reads the samemax value.Can anyone suggest a way of ensuring unique values? Perhaps by lockingthe table for the duration.There is already a separate identity column that increments ok.
I am using the code below to get all the children of a particular product and it is working fine. How to get the particular product's id in the select statement. for example, i need to show 891 in a separate column for all the records returned by the query below.
DECLARE @Hierarchy TABLE (Product_Id INT, Parent_Product_Id INT) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (123, 234) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (234, 456) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (456, 678) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (678, 891) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (891, NULL)
I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?
I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
Hello I installed MS SQl 2005 the eval version and it has expired. I have bought a copy now and i need to put the product keys in without having to reinstall the program. Is there anyway i can do this with having to reinstall SQl again.. Any help would be great
I've begun to get the above error from my package. The error message refers to two output columns.
Anyone know how this could happen from within the Visual Studio 2005 UI? I've seen the other posts on this subject, and they all seemed to be creating the packages in code.
Is there any way to see all of the columns in the data flow? Or is there any other way to find out which columns it's referring to? Thanks!
I want to upgrade 5 SQL Server 6.5 production boxes to SQL Server 7. I got SQL Server 7.0 pricing and licensing list from www.microsoft.com/sql/70/gen/pricing.htm and I think I should buy 5 SQL Server 7.0 Combined Product/Version/Competitive Upgrade (Since I have been using SQL Server 6.5, I don’t need to buy the full product. Is this right?). I am not sure if the upgrade offer (the price is much lower than the full product offer $699/$1399) includes the SQL Server 7.0 both software and access license.
To retrieve all products of type 'A', one must know the table name, in this case 'productA'.
Here is one method.
Create a table that contains the table name that corresponds to each product type, thus the stored procedure only needs to recieve the type_id which can be used to obtain the name of the respective table.
I am installing SQL Server x64 on a new server, and I was told to use the same license key we have for the other servers... but no one seems to know where it is. Is there any way I could see the license key for one of the working boxes so I could put it on the new one?
Does anyone know of a SQL Server product that would let me do the following?Connect to the instanceConfigure thresholds like,1.Show databases not backed up in the last X days2. Show databases that are full that have logs not backed up in the lastx days/hours.3. Show jobs that have failed in the last x days.I would then like to click a process button and have it bring back anythingthat is outside those thresholds?, any thing like that in a windowsapplication?
I have a field with numbers (double datatype) as values and I want a aggregate function that gives me the product of all the values in that field. Is there a way to do that in SSRS?
How can the licensing product key with which SQL Server is installed be replaced/updated? If this is possible, will the same procedure apply both to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005?
We are building a system that has mobile clients (laptop with XP and tablet with XP). These clients have data moving back and forth to a centralised n-tier server based system. The communications is proprietory and are very low bandwidth (5 KByte/sec).
We've decided that the best approach to handling both the reference data (ranging from trivial to a complex list of items - about 2 million rows) and the day-to-day operational data is with a database product rather than attempting to handle it ourselves within code.
The question is - what SQL platform to use? SQL Everywhere seems to be a fairly good choice except that it does not seem to support stored procedures. SQL Express is another possibility but there are concerns about the size of the footprint and managing the database engine and the database itself.
The users of the mobile client are considered computer illiterate and would not be able to manage any database administrative tasks. They only come back to base every three to six months. History has shown remote management of the machine has proven difficult (if not impossible) via the low bandwidth connection.
The machines have 512MB of RAM and only 40GB of disk. They have to support XP, Office, our client, and our GIS client. What is the best answer?
When I was setting up my new SQL server I entered the CD-KEY off of the wrong license. I don't want to have to uninstall everything to reinstall it with the new CD-KEY.
Is there a way to change the CD-KEY after installation?
I have a search box on my website which is used to search the products database. I will be using the search text in an SQL stored procedure that uses LIKE statements. The search string could realistically contain any character. How do I prevent SQL injection when any search string is reasonably feasible? .
I know "select distinct ProductId from Product " selects one product only one time how can i apply the same logic in a query like give bellow SELECT I.QuoteRequestItemId, I.ProductId ,P.StorePartNumber from QuoteRequestItem I left join Product P on I.ProductId = P.ProductId ie product with same productId should be considered only oncethere should not be more than one row with same productId
I have a SQL statement with two left outer joins which connects 3 tables. Vendors, Tracking & Activity. For whatever reason, even though each is a one-to-many relationship, I am able to join 2 tables (from Vendors to Tracking) without an issue. when I then join Activity, I get a Cartesian product.I suspected that 'DISTINCT'.
SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN `vendor`.`companyname` IS NULL then 'No Company Assigned' ELSE `vendor`.`companyname` END AS companyNameSQL, `tracking`.`pkgTracking`, CASE
I have a table with product_name and introduction_date(when the product was first introduced)as columns. now i wana calculate average as below
if item is sold in previous business year(suppose 2011-12) then avg should be avg price in businessyear(2010-11), if it is newly introduced(suppose 2013-14)then avg should be of current year(2013-14).
I want to get a list of any Categories where ALL the products in that Category are not published (Published = 0). (I want to get the Categories where no products are listed for it). Here are the tables, not sure where to begin :
SELECT [Id], Published FROM Product WHERE Published = 0
SELECT [Id] ,[Name] FROM Category
SELECT [Id] ,[ProductId] ,[CategoryId] FROM Product_Category_Mapping
Steve writes "Probably not a tough question if I wasn't a newbie:
I have two copies of MSSQL 2005 standard edition, intended for installation on a dual proc db server. The server is physically placed in a remote hosting service.
Since I need to install remotely, it's non-trivial how to get the bits over there. I could fed-ex the CDs to the hosting service and have them feed the machine.
However they suggested that they simply use their MSDN version, which I accepted.
But it turns out the MSDN version setup has a pre-populated product key, and does not allow me to entire my own product key(s).
So the questions:
1) besides the product key thing, is there any difference between the MSDN version and the retail version? 2) does it matter that I enter my product key(s) during installation, or do I need to simply posess the keys to be legit? 3) On a dual-proc system, must two keys entered to activate operation on each processor?
So in general, I'm confused as to the technical dependence of installation on the product keys. After $12k I kinda want to use them."
