If I have table1 and table2 with table2 having multiple rows tied to a
single row in table 1.
What I am trying to do is set up a view that has one row that shows
the following
table1.uniqueid, table1.name, table2.row1.detail, table2.row2.detail,
table2.row3.detail
I'd like to be able to do a select on the view and only come back with
one row per widget. If possible, I'd actually like to be able to
concat all the rows from table 2 into one column if that's possible.
I want to concat strings such that if one string is null, it is treated as an empty string. For example 'abc' + NULL = 'abc'.
SQL Server has the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL defaulted to ON, and it needs to be on in most cases when dealing with indices. (INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, etc.) However, when I am running a select, and one field has a null value, I still want to see the other fields in the resulting string.
I can do this in a function, but I need a view, and the view doesn't seem to let me save a command with 'SET' in it. (However, it does let me run the command! And it works!) It's just when I try to save it, I get a syntax error, so the view is unavailable to me as I want it.
The command that works, but won't save is:
PHP Code:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF SELECT t1.field1+'-'+'t2.field2 AS viewField FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.fk1=t2.pk2
I have suddenly lost the ability to view the tables for one of my database via Enterprise Manager. It just sits at an hourglass and never returns! Alos, if I attempt to link to the tables via MSAccess's ODBC interface, I get a timeout.
I am able to view the table list for other user databases, as well as the system databases.
I am able to view other object list (like SPs) for the database in question, via Enterprise Manager.
I am able to perform a select query against the sysobjects table for the database in question.
Any ideas on why Enterprise Manager, and ODBC links, are hanging while trying to access the tables for one particular user database?
Any help is appreciated.
All other functions appear normal. If I can't figure anything out, or no one has any other ideas, I will try rebooting the server after the users are gone for the day.
Hi, I€™m new to sql ex 2005 and have a couple of questions I can€™t find the answers to.

I have tried to find tutorials on ex 05 but can€™t find answers to my questions. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I am trying to return rows from a query and I want to display the information from 2 columns into one. Here is my query:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.CASES.CaseID, dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc, dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumber, dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.TopicID, dbo.EVENTS.EventTypeID, dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate, dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.Doc FROM dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS INNER JOIN dbo.CASES ON dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.CaseID = dbo.CASES.CaseID INNER JOIN dbo.CASENUMBERS ON dbo.CASES.CaseID = dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseID INNER JOIN dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES ON dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumTypeID = dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeID INNER JOIN dbo.EVENTS ON dbo.CASES.CaseID = dbo.EVENTS.CaseID WHERE (dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc IN ('cc', 'dc')) AND (dbo.EVENTS.EventTypeID IN (7048, 6467)) AND (dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.TopicID IN (2, 3, 4)) AND (dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-01-13 00:00:00', 102)) AND (dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate < CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-01-19 00:00:00', 102)) ORDER BY dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc, dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumber
I get this for my return
1526959 CC 228762 2 7048 1/16/2008 12:00:00 AM <Binary data> CC is my CASENUMBERTYPES and the next column (228762) is CASENUMBERS
How can I get it to return it to where the CASENUMBERTYPES and CASENUMBERS show together in one column?
I am trying to find the list of tables that make up any particular view in SQL server 2000. The information schema - VIEW_TABLE_USAGE would be the best tool, if only the sysdepends table worked! When I use the schema I get some but not all of my views. Has anyone got a solution, prefably one without cursors, that can identitfy the source tables for a view? I have used the following SQL, but unfortunately it gives too many results: SELECT VIEWS.name AS VIEW_NAME, TABLES.name AS TABLE_NAME, VIEW_SQL.text FROM sysobjects VIEWS INNER JOIN syscomments VIEW_SQL ON VIEWS.id = VIEW_SQL.id INNER JOIN sysobjects TABLES ON VIEW_SQL.text LIKE '%.' + TABLES.name + '%' WHERE (VIEWS.xtype = 'V') AND (TABLES.xtype = 'U') ORDER BY VIEWS.name, TABLES.name Justin
I would like to create a view that joins these tables. Each row show a product and all the qualities it has, from quality 1 to quality 8. If there is no N'th quality, to show blank/null/zero.
The problem is how to get values from multiple rows (in table Qualities) in a single row in the view.
Dear friends, is there any way to find the table names from a view?
ex: suppose i have a view named as vorganization.i need all the tables in this view. is it possible to get through a query? same case for procedures and functions also.........
Hi,I hope this is the right place to ask this question. If it is not,please let me know a more appropriate place.I have two tables.CREATE TABLE tblEmployees(EmployeeID int identity NOT NULL,LastName varchar(50) NULL,FirstName varchar(50) NULL,);CREATE TABLE tlkpDept(DeptID char(5) NULL,Name char(10) NULL,LongName char(50) NULL);Now I want to create a view called AssignedTo. [The application I'mdoing, will track the status of our customer requests. Each requestcan be assigned to either an individual employee or an entiredepartment]I want the view to have two columns, ID and LongName. ID should beeither the DeptID or the EmployeeID. The LongName column should beeither the LongName or the FirstName + LastName.I'm not even sure how to begin to write such a complex SQL.EnterpriseManager is being less than helpful too.Can anyone help?Thanks in advance.-Tom
I have about 14 tables that I am trying to tie together in a view tosee a user's status in our company.Joe User:Email - ActiveADP - ActivePortal - Inactiveetc.We need to track application access across the company, so we havetables for each application that contain user info(username,password(encrypted), start date, end date, changed date) so that wecan track who has what, and when they were given access as well aswhen it was taken away.Every application table has a userID attached to it.What I would like to do is to take the userID field and look for theirapplication access across the company. To do this, i'll have to lookfor the max value in each table because someone could be given access,have it taken away, and be given it again. People move all over theplace here, so we have to be able to track who has what, when, and atwhat building.I started out with trying to left outer join the tables together, butit didn't work. I tried doing something along the lines of:selectesarfAppEmail.emailID,esarfAppEmail.esarfUserID,CASE WHEN esarfAppEmail.endDate IS NULL Then 'Active' else 'Inactive'end as EmailStatus--,
We have created a view that selects from tables in two databases. it looks like something like this:
CREATE VIEW myview AS
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab;
Both tables have col as primary key.
When we executes SELECT col FROM myview WHERE col='SOMEVALUE' we receives the correct result but SQL server does not use any indexes. It performs a index scan on both tables. Wh and what can we do about it? The tables contains millions of rows so the performance is terrible.
The following works fine:
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE'
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE';
I am new to SQLSERVER, so I am trying to learn from all these database views, in Oracle it use 'desc all_tables ' to database dictionary view, can some one tell me how to view SQLserver dictionary view like INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, or sys.tables?
IF I login as sa, but I only want to view the table list one schema at a time? how do I do that?
I tried :
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_schema='CIT'....
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_schema='CIT.DBO'.... give 0 result too.
it give me 0 result, but if I login as CIT, then
'select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES' will give 14 tables.
Plus, When I log into Query analyzer, all the tables has dbo. prefix. , why is that?
Hi there, I'm trying to concat the results of a select statement into a single row separated by commas without duplicates. The query and output is something like this:SELECT Specification FROM Cars WHERE Model = 112Which would return something like:Specification------------------Model 1Model 2Model 2Model 4 What I'd like is these to be combined into a single row such as:Specification ------------------Model 1, Model 2, Model 4
I want to use a NEWID() to generate order numbers, but i dont want to give customers the long uniqueID. so im wondering if i concatinate it to 8 characters, if that would be safe or not...
I am trying to concat an int with an nvarchar in my select:
select distinct(id + name) from load where name not like '%test%'
but I am getting an error saying: Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '灪愭楮敭' to a column of data type int.
My question is: how do you concat int and string in MS SQL Server. The equivalent in Oracle would be ||, I think.
I have a string let's say: "123". I want to convert it to: -- Start SqlServer BEGIN {CALL DBA.applsp_ChangeComments( 'ArtPurchPriceUpdate', 'TRIGGER', 'nl', 'ArtPurchPriceUpdate', '1' + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10) + '2' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 3' )} END; -- End SqlServer
This works well for oracle and sybase, for sqlserver I can't concatenate in a parameter of a stored procedure. I really want to do this. To create a variable is a lot of extra programming. Is there anyone who knows how to cancat these strings within the stored procedure call?

PhoneType is an auxiliary table that has 5 records in it Home phone, Cell phone, Work phone, Pager, and Fax. Is there a way to do a join or maybe make a view of a view that would allow me to ultimately end up with…
StudnetID: 1 Name: John HomePhone: 123-456-7890 WorkPhone: 123-456-7890 CellPhone: Pager: 123-456-7890 Fax: Memo: This is one student record.
Some students will have no phone number, some will have all 5 most will have one or two. If possible I would like to do a setup like this in my database to keep from having to have null fields for 4 phone numbers that the majority of records won’t have. Thanks in advanced, Nathan Rover

Hi. I am managing the SQL script files for constructing tables,views,and so on with Visual Source Sefe.
But once I run these scripts with a tool like Query Analyzer for the database in SQL Server, I do not know How to get the versions of the scripts which were installed now, with using Enterprise Manager or any tool associated with SQL Server2000.
Please tell me How are you managing and know which version of scripts have been installed on database in SQL Server.

I am new with SQL and I am Oracle DBA, trying to learn SQL. Any way, in SQL, is there a view or tables that you can run to pull out a list of the databases inside an instance? I don't want to use the GUI though.
In my SQL I am having temporary tables. And in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (Microsoft SQL Server 2005) whenever I execute sql statement its working fine & I am getting the records.
My SQL statement is using 2 databases as follows: 1.PerformanceDeficiencyNotice 2.HRDataWarehouse
Both the above databases are SQL SERVER 2000(80) with a compatibility level of 80.
The problem is when I am trying to create a new view with my sql statement and when I am saying “Verify SQL Syntax�, I am getting an error as “Invalid Object Name ‘#pdninfo’.
And when I am saying “execute SQL�, I am getting an error as “Unable to parse query text� but when I am continuing with the error, the sql statement is running and I am getting the data.
And now when I am trying to save the view I am getting the error as below “Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘INTO’�. Views or functions are not allowed on temporary tables. Table names that begin with ‘#’ denote temporary tables.
Please suggest how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
