could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' . If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.
How do I handle and apostrophes and other punctuation in stored procedure Sql statements: SELECT L_ID, L_NameFROM tblHVACContractorsWHERE (L_Name = 'Mare's Heating & Cooling Services')
I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors. I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe... 1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''") 2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for. If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below.... I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail.... I would appreciate any help ! Thanks ! <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ClinicTest2ConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PatientID], [Accession], [FirstName], [LastName], [Address1], [City], [strddlPatientState], [ZIP], [DOB] FROM [ClinicalPatient] WHERE [LastName] LIKE @LastName ORDER BY [LastName],[FirstName]ASC">
I have web forms with about 10-15 optional search parameters (fields) for a give table. Each item (textbox) in the form is treated as an AND condition.
Right now I build complex WHERE clauses based on wheather data is present in a textbox and AND each one in the clause. Also, if a particular field is "match any word", i get a ANDed set of OR's. As you can imagine, the WHERE clause gets quite large.
I build clauses like this (i.e., 4 fields shown):
SELECT * from tableName WHERE (aaa like '%data') AND (bbb = 'data') AND (ccc like 'data%') AND ( (xxx like '%data') OR (yyy like '%data%') )
My question is, are stored procedures better for building such dynamic SQL clauses? I may have one field or all fifteen. I've written generic code for building the clauses, but I don't know much about stored procedures and am wondering if I'm making this more difficult on myself.
I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.
I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. Theapplication in question executes the folloiwing query against thedatabase:select * from employee where emp_id = 760In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server2k the following error is returned:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error convertingthe varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understandthat this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not wantto have to trawl through the application and surround all instanceswith apostrophes.Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will Ihave to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.Thanks for any help.John
After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.
Hi I have an asp.net 2.0, web app with a sql 2000 db. I am having a problem when users cut and past content from Word and Excel and past it into a textbox apostrophes are replaced as question marks when saved to db. I have set the following line in my web.config which did not resolve the problem<globalization requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB"/> I have also read many posts, but have not found a resolutionhttp://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=124609I cant do a find and replace of the character before insertion into DB, as this would involve visiting over 90 pages and changing every insert statement. Is there a way I a can force my sql server to only allow characters in a certain format, eg iso-8859-1 to resolve this problem Please help somebody must have a resolutionMany thanks in advance
When we insert text into field in a table, SQL SERVER apparentlyreplaces apostrophes with question marks -- is there a way to not havethis occur? We don't have this happen with the mySQL databases thatwe also support.Much help appreciated.
I work with both Oracle and SQL Server databases (most of the time Oracle) and I was wondering if there is a function that allows ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted into the database. Oracle has a function called SET DEFINE OFF and that allows for ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted without giving me an error. Is there something similar in SQL Server? I'm migrating some data and quite few rows have ampersands and apostrophes.
I have an update statement that accepts a user's text input. problem is that the string terminates the sql update statement if there is an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car" willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _ "UPDATE EditProfile " & _ "SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _ "SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)
declare @test as varchar(32) declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem' set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow') select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.
I need some help on how to structure a sql statement. I am creating a membership directory and I need the stored procedure to output the Last Name, First Name (and if married) Spouse First Name. Like this Flinstone, Fred & Wilma All members are in one directory linked by two fields. [Family ID] all the family members have the same family id and then there is a Family position id that shows if they are the Husband, Wife or Kids. I have no problem with this part select (LastName + ',' + FirstName) as Name, [Phone 1] as Phone, [Unit Name] as WD, [Street 1] as Street, SUBSTRING(City,1,3) as City, SUBSTRING(Postal,1,5) as Zipfrom Membership Where [HH Order]=1 Order By LastName ASC Could someone help me on how to display the " & Spouse FirstName " as part of the name field only if there is a spouse [HH Order]=2 for the current [Family ID]????
I need to get multiple values for each row in a database, then do a calculation and insert the calculation and the accountnumber related to the calculation the data, into a different column. I get an error trying it this way...there is no real identifier, it is jsut something that needs to get done per row...any ideas on how I can accomplish this? Declare @NetCommission decimal Declare @AccountNumber varchar(50) Set @NetCommission = (select (CommissionRebate * Quantity) from Account A Join Trades T on A.AccountNumber = T.AccountNumber) Set @AccountNumber = (select A.AccountNumber from cmsAccount A Join Trades T on A.AccountNumber = T.AccountNumber)
I'm sure there is a way of cracking this, but I can't think of a good solution. Right now I am not happy with the solutions I come up with, one of which takes 4 minutes to run on SQL Server The scenario: User is presented with search page where one or more search terms can be entered/selected. There are no required parameters. It can be any or all of the possibilities presented. Below is a model of the search parameters presented. The user will either select to show more options under Profile ABC, or go down to Profile STU or Profile XYZ to show more options, or even select all Profiles and then select from Type 1 and either a. or. b. or. c. or ALL of the above. I cannot predict what a user will make part of the search query so I have to have a stored procedure ready which can handle any or all of the parameters a user may select. Am I biting off more than I can chew (it seems so)? Or is there an elegant way of handling the unknown combination of search parameters that a user might throw into my sql query? I'm running this under ASP 1.0 and SQL Server 2000.
[check to show the options below] Profile ABC [check to shore more options] Type 1
A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes B. ditto C. ditto D. ditto [check to show more options] Type 2
A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes B. ditto C. ditto D. ditto [check to show more options] Type 3
A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes

I'm working on a system that used to load control dynamically into a table structure based on "Row" and "Column" properties in the item object. The system is now being revamped, and instead of a table structure, it's being loaded into a list, which will be controled by css. The new relevant variables are "Sequence" and "Width." Since there are already thousands of existing items in the database, I have to write a script that can take a really good guess at legacy items' Row and Col, and input values for Sequence and Width. Since all items exist on "tabs," I can query for all items on a given tabID, Ordered By Row, Col -- that will give me a sequence. Width isn't literal, it has 6 presets: Whole, Half, Third, Quarter, Two Thirds, Three Quarters, represented in the table as 0,1,2,3,4,5 -- for our purposes, I'll assume that all items on a row are equal in width. We can determine width by figuring out the number of items within the same row, so if there is only one in the row, it's a Whole (0), if there are three in the row it'll be a Third (2), etc.
I'd like to create a query that gets all items by tab, assigns the appropriate sequence, and figures out how many items are in the row with a given item, to assign the correct width.... but I have no idea how to make t-sql do that. I don't mind multiple queries to get the whole process done, and it doesn't need to be efficient -- this is a one-off script to run to give legacy items values that we can work with. Where would I start?
HI. I have 3 tables 1- std with : stdID , programID. 2- Programs with :ProgramID , Cost 3 - Movements with : stdID , balance. the first table contain the stdID and ProgramID , some times the std hasn't programID that mean he hasn't programID. then we return null. if the std has programID there is to cases. the first one he have a movement on his balance then we get the biggest balance for the std. the second case he hasn't any moventen then we get his balance from Programs table by the ProgramID .
I need sql server function that return table like this stdID , Balance that means every std with his Balance. Regards.

I have 2 tables, say table1, and table2. There is a DocID (primary key) in table1. In table2, DocID is the foriegn key. There can be more than 1 DocID.
how do I join these two tables, such that I get all the otherID's for each DocID. ie., DocID OtherID 1 2 and 10 and 13 and 25 2 3
i am writing this query to display search results on a search page (with keyword search) and so, if I display the result in more than one row, then the user might think that there is more than document...whereas the case is that there is only one document with more than one other ID's.
is there any way I can do this? display...more than 1otherID in the same row for the same DociD? Currently, I am using a left outer join of table1 and table2.

I might have to redesign the tables for this, but I'll ask anyway. I have a table with the following fields:
Email - VarChar Seminar - Int PeckingOrder - Int.
As I add addresses to the table, each one has a Seminar, and then each Seminar has a Pecking Order Value. If an email address shows up for more than one seminar, it can have multiple records. IE:
for address, seminar, and pecking order would be sample entries into the table. Give or Take 1000 records in the table at any given time. What I want to pull out is:
Distinct Email Addresses For each Email Address - The Max(PeckingOrder) And the Seminar that's associated with Max(PeckingOrder)
For the sample data set above, I'd want to see these two records returned by the query:
email1 - 1523 - 424 email2 - 1524 - 235
I can't seem to get the Having / Where clause right to pull those two records properly. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, --Daniel
Edited - Didn't realize the BB removed email addresses.
i want to write a query that takes any one specific person's schedule for an entire specific day, adds an arbitrary number of days to datStartTime, and finally inserts the PKSlotINDEX corresponding to the calcultated StartTime and fkPersonINDEX.
wow complicated isnt it...
the goal is to take the schedule of one day for one person and copy it to another day; i can scrap my current layout if necessary.
SELECT goto_last_name as 'Manager', advisor_name, advisor_ao_number as 'AO', COUNT (CASE advisor_termination_date WHEN '<Null>' THEN 1 END) as '#Advisors', SUM(Weekly_TOS_GDC) as 'TOS GDC' FROM weekly_condensed_tb WHERE advisor_platform_number = 1 AND report_date BETWEEN CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR,'9/11/2007',112) AS DATETIME) -28 AND CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR,'9/11/2007',112) AS DATETIME) GROUP BY goto_last_name,advisor_ao_number,advisor_name HAVING COUNT (CASE advisor_termination_date WHEN '<Null>' THEN 1 END) > 1
In the query above i select a range from the date - 28 days and do a sum on the TOS GDC column. What i am trying to do is have another query where the range will be - 56 and maybe - 86 so i get the SUMS for that as well. I need to display this in SQL Reporting Services and i can only have one DataSet returned otherwise i will not be able to bind it to one table.
How can i go about this so i return one set of data for 3 different date ranges.
Hey all, I have 3 tables: 1 table with Module information (1 quiz-like part of an Exam), 1 table with the relationships between Modules and Exams (ratios) and 1 table with User information, that contains the Exam number, Module number, and score. I am trying to get a full list of modules' names for 1 exam, and the user's score for those modules they taken. All this would pertain to 1 single Exam. I am only getting records returned for those modules that the user has taken; I want the full list with NULL values for the scores of modules the user has not taken. Hope that made sense, here is my attempt:
Code:
SELECT ExamModules.Name, ExamUsers.Score FROM ExamToModule LEFT OUTER JOIN ExamModules ON ExamToModule.ModuleID = ExamModules.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN ExamUsers ON ExamToModule.ModuleID = ExamUsers.MID AND ExamToModule.ExamID = ExamUsers.EID WHERE (ExamToModule.ExamID = 1) AND (ExamUsers.UserName = 'dizzle')
In this case the user is Dizzle and the Exam's ID (primary key) is 1. I've changed LEFT to RIGHT and FULL, they all return the same few records. Help?
