I want to create a view where I can calculate the sum of a couple of bit value columns,
aswell as keeping track of the total number of bits set to true.
Here is an example:
dbo.Band
BandID int
Name nvarchar(50)
Country nvarchar(50)
dbo.Record
ID int
Name nvarchar(50)
BandID int
Label nvarchar(50)
InProduction bit
InSkodne bit
From these tables I created this view:
dbo.TestView
SELECT dbo.Band.Name, dbo.Band.Country, dbo.Record.Name AS Recordname, dbo.Record.Label, CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InProduction) AS InProduction,
CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InSkodne) AS InSkodne, CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InProduction) + CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InSkodne) AS Total
FROM dbo.Band INNER JOIN
dbo.Record ON dbo.Band.BandID = dbo.Record.BandID
I use the convert function to be able to use SUM() across my bit columns, which works fine. Problems is I´m not sure that the way I´m creating the TOTAL column is the best way to go. Any other ideas?
I´m having some problems using this view and the TOTAL column in particular when referencing this view from applications outside SQL Server...
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1]( [TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL, [Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.
I am trying to write the query in the Procedure as follows
Select * from Car where Price=@Price1 or Price=@price2 or Price=@price=3 and where Manufacture=@Manufacture1 or Manufacture=@Manufacture2 or Manufacture=@Manufacture3 and where Model=@Model1 or Model=@Model2 or Model=@Model3 and where City=@City1 or City=@City2 or City=@City3
I am Not sure of the query but am trying to get the list of cars that are to be filtered based on the user input.
I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1]( [BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL, [PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part | 1 | RAM 2 | Disk Drive 10| CPU 11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive| ---------------------------------------------- A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item SELECT SYSTEM PART FROM System Info WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3. suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2 ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information. for e.g.; i was thinking to concatinate both fields like col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA and in search i use SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
I'd like to generate the calculated column SCORE based on various scenarios in the other columns. eg.
if n1<10 and n2<10 then i=i + 1 if n4-n3=1 then i=i + 1 if more than 2 consecutive numbers then i=i + 1
So, I need to build the score. I've tried the procedure below and it works as a pass or fail but is too limiting. I'd like something that increments the variable @test1.
declare @test1 int set @test1=0 select top 10 n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6, case when ( n1=2 and n2>5 ) then @test1+1 else @test1 end as t2 from allNumbers
I want to search in fulltextindexes for multiple searchterms in multiple columns. The difficulty is: I don't want only the records with columns that contains both searchterms. I also want the records of which one column contains one of the searchterm ans another column contains one of the searchterms.
For example I search for NETWORK and PERFORMANCE in two columns. Jobdescr_________________________|Jobtext Bad NETWORK PERFORMANCE________|Slow NETWORK browsing in Windows XP Bad application PERFORMANCE_______|Because of slow NETWORK browsing, the application runs slow.
I only get the first record because JobDescr contains both searchterms I don't get the second record because none of the columns contains both searchterms
I managed to find a workaround:
SELECT T3.jobid, T3.jobdescr FROM (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'network*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'network*') ) T1 INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'performance*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'performance*')) T2 ON T2.Jobid = T1.Jobid INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid, jobdescr FROM dba.job) T3 ON T3.Jobid = T1.Jobid OR T3.Jobid = T2.JobId It works but i guess this will result in a heavy database load when the number of searchterms and columns will increase.
I have an Parent table (Parentid, LastName, FirstName) and Kids table (Parentid, KidName, Age, Grade, Gender, KidTypeID) , each parent will have multiple kids, I need the result as below:
I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem. I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment! Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns. I have to read and manipulate each row. I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work. One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this. Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation? As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me! Thanks in advance!
Is there a way to delete from multiple tables/views a column with a specificname? For example, a database has 50 tables and 25 views all have a columnnamed ColumnA. Is it possible to write a simple script that will deleteevery column named ColumnA from the database?Seems to be it would be possible and I can somewhat vision it usingsysobjects but without wanting to spend too much time generating the script(when I could in shorter time manually delete) thought I'd pose the question.Thanks.
I'm having a DB designed for me, and I'm inspecting it and wondering what in general is the better way to do this.
We have a product, which we are counting "product views". The DB designer has created columns called "view_today" and "views_alltime".
I specified I wanted a normalized database, I'm thinking this is technically not normalized ? Am I correct ?
Wouldn't it be better to have a query that counted the views off the logging table ? I can't see any advantage to doing it the way its been designed except to save time.
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
Hi, I want to convert multiple rows to one row and multiple columns. I saw some examples with PIVOT but i could not get them to work. Heres what i want to do:
This is the how the table is: EmpID Designation

680 CFA
685 CFP
685 CIMA
685 IMCA
I want it to display as: EmpID Designation1 Designation2 Designation3 678 CFA 679 CFA 680 CFA 685 CFP CIMA IMCA
hi please help me,i have a table queried using this sql, select name,(select count(*) from myTable a where a.name = r.name ) as Total, (select count(*) from myTable b where b.name = r.name and dnum > '1') as Used, (select count(*) from myTable c where c.name = r.name and dnum < '1') as remainingfrom myTable r group by namebut i need one more thing in this table that should look like this,nameTotalUsedRemainingPercentageA126650%B2021810%C150150% this is to add the BOLD field from the above table, but my problem is that the computation is "Used / Total = Percentage%"so how can i do this, please help methanks
hi everybody, i'm trying to calculate the 'SUM' of time spent in hrs. n min. How can i do this using SQL Server? What i mean is, i've a column 'TIME_SPENT' that has 'datetime' datatype. This column saves time spent for an activity in format 'hh:mm'. Suppose a user spends 45min for activity 'A' and say 1hr 25 min for activity 'B' then i want to calculate the 'SUM' of 'TIME_SPENT' for the user which should appear as 'Total time spent =2:10'
I am attempting to compute Service Levels for an interaction based upon business hours. For example, an email arrives at 4pm and is handled the following day at 10am. Call Center Hours are 8-5.
Essentially I have a number of different alternatives, and have found some potential solutions, including:
www.dbforums.com/arch/7/2003/9/914261
However, my situation has a couple of additional twists to the standard 8hrs of business M-F. The call center is open different hours depending upon the day of the week. For example, 8-5 M, 10-7 T, 8-5 W Th F, 10-2 Sat, 10-12 Sun
Additionally, I would like to remove Holiday's from the calculation for service level as well.
I have explored a number of different table DTD's, but none seem to be a perfect fit for determining the number of "open" hours between when an interaction arrived, and when it was handled.
The DTD I have for the Holiday table is as follows:
CREATE Table Holidays (HolidayDate DateTime) GO Insert Into Holidays (HolidayDate) Values ('12-25-2004')
Please let me know what you feel would be the DTD for storing the business hours and also the query for extracting the number of Open hours between two dates
The values in the final table are the days used by each ID transferring from status i to status i-1. E.g., ID uses 8 days (10-May-13 - 2-May-13) to go to status 3 from status 4.
It is hard for me to come up with a table like the final table, although I know that the difference between two adjacent rows can be computed by using self-join and timediff().
Dear All. I'm a fairly new SQL programmer so apologies if this is a silly question.
I'm trying to create a new column/variable from 3 other variables where the new column = column 1 unless column 1 is blank, then = column 2, unless column 2 is blank, then = column 3.
But I don't know where in my query to begin building this. Should I build it in a subquery? Thanks in advance for any replies.
I´m currently devoloping an application where users can register errors related to recieved purchase orders. I store these values in i table where the purchase order id i PK, and the possible errors that can exist are stored as bit.
Now I want to be able to put a price on these errors. I´m thinking about adding another table, containing all possible errors as columns, and then storing the cost of each error as an integer, and probably also a datetime for keeping track of when the costs was last updated.
I´m pretty sure this problem has been solved alot of times before, so I don´t wanna do something stupid here :-)
I´m also wondering about how it would be best to show the computed values? Should I use a view for this?
For example:
SELECT (dbo.Orders.QuantityError * dbo.Costs.QuantityError ) FROM dbo.Costs CROSS JOIN dbo.Record
assuming now that the Costs table only contains one row.
Is this the right way to go, or can you guys give me hints to a better solution?
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.
Now my problem is that I want to set a primary key constraint on actorID but it doesn't let me because it the NULL check mark is automatically checked and I cannot check it off ... and I can't set a primary key on something which is allowed to be NULL....
I don't understand why 'actorName' column which is also calculated doesn't have that default NULL checked and locked ....
"Oracle's purported Grid enablement in 10g is based on its Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) technology that is no more than a local cluster. RAC is a local cluster of computers with no geographic distribution capabilities. This marketing campaign relabeled existing features to exploit current industry trends. "
My question is how can I support the above paragraph? I would like to known more reasons about why oracle grid is a local cluster instead of grid computring oriented.
I am new to SSRS, so perhaps its a trivial question. I was wondering that since all controls have names in the report, is it possible to programatically access values of different textboxes, do some computation and then assign to another text box? I know how to do it using the Aggregate functions and operators, but am not sure if I can access values from textboxes within two different tables and assign the computed value to a third text box on the page (not belonging to any table or other control).
Hello,I am in the process of making a very simple stats page that will show us how many tasks we've completed. Here is what I have so far: Here is the SQL that makes it work: SelectCommand="SELECT Count(TicketID), Category FROM Tickets GROUP BY Category ORDER BY Count(TicketID) DESC ">My problem is with how the totals seem to go on forever. Instead of being in proportion to each other as a percentage of a the total amount of tickets.. they just increase in size with each additonal entry. Can someone help me restructure this so that I can calculate the totals individually and as a whole and then apply the totals to create a proportional bar graph?Thank you greatly for your help,Mark
