I am trying to build a Windows application using: Windows XP Pro ; VS Pro 2005, C# and SQL2005.
I have 2 database table3 as follows:
eg
1) myGameRecency which contains columns : GameId (identity specification column/primary key/not null), Date (not null), [1], [2], [3], [4] , WeeksSinceDr0, WeeksSinceDr1, WeeksSinceDr2
2) myGameFrequency which contains columns : AllBallsFrequency , WeeksSinceDrawnAllBalls
Using the myGameRecencyAllBalls table ---
I wish to insert a 0 into a column corresponding to a ball that has been drawn, eg if a 4 has been drawn, then a 0 will be inserted into that column. If a ball has not be drawn, then the value in that column will be a running total, signifying the number of draws since it was last drawn ( ie since a 0 was inserted into that column).
I place a 1 in the column corresponding to the number of weeks since a number has been drawn. The name of the column is therefore the concatenation of the string literal 'WeeksSinceDrawn' and the value held by the variable, @lastRowCount obtained by the lastrow_CURSOR.
I have declared a variable @colName to hold the concatenation / Set @colName = 'WeeksSinceDr' + CONVERT(nvarchar(max), @lastRowCount) and then tried to use it as follows: SET [@colName] = 1
however, I receive an error message advising me that I have an invalid column name. Is there any means of setting a column name by concatenating two variables or , a string literal and a variable ?
I am trying to write a select statement which will concatenate all values of a string column and provide me with a result set containing just one row of data containing a concatenation of all values.
For eg:
column1 abc def hij klm nop
is it possible to write a select statement which would return
I need to concatenate a field from certain number of rows. I created a function to return the concatenated value which will be a part of another view/procedure to be used for reporting purposes.
final woorkNoteAll will be a part of a query in another view which contains many other fields.
Here's the function. I'm passing an ID and based on that ID, the function returns a string. However, when I tested the function it's giving me a null.
/* --Calling syntax:: Select dbo.getIncidentNotes(187714) as 'Notes' --Function to get all the latest notes for an incident */ CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getIncidentNotes(@iIncidentID int) RETURNS varchar(8000) AS BEGIN DECLARE @allnotes varchar(8000) DECLARE @seqnotes varchar(255) DECLARE @seqnum int DECLARE @counter int SELECT @counter=1
SELECT @seqnum = max(iseqnum) from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID
WHILE (@COUNTER <=@seqnum) BEGIN SELECT @seqnotes = workNoteALL from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID and iSeqNum=@counter SELECT @allnotes = @allnotes + @seqnotes SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1 END --While Begin RETURN @allnotes END
Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code?
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!
hi, please check this query and reply back with the appropriate solution. len(ltrim(rtrim(exec('select' ' ' + 'pay' +convert(substring(@y1,3,2), varchar 2)))))<>0 here the concept is concatenating two string then that result is used as column and retreiveing data.but this is considering it as string instead of column. can anyone give an appropriate solution.
I have a customer who has recently migrated their SQL server to a newserver. In doing so, a portion of a stored procedure has stoppedworking. The code snippet is below:declare @Prefixes varchar(8000),declare @StationID int-- ...select @Prefixes = ''select @Prefixes = @Prefixes + Prefix + '|||'from Devicewhere Station_ID = @StationIDEssentially, we are trying to triple-pipe delimit all the deviceprefixes located at a specified station. This code has workedflawlessly for the last 10 months, but when the database was restoredon the new server, @Prefixes only contains the prefix for the lastdevice.Is there a server, database, or connection option that permits this towork that I am not aware of? Why would this work on the old server andnot on the new? (BTW - both servers are running SQL 2000 StandardSP4).Thanks!
Hi, I am a extreme beginer to sql server and i am i'm having big trouble trying to display my sql query properly. Bascially i want to put the results of a one to many query into one row per record. I have read articles and forums discussing 'concatenating the values' or creating a function??? but i dont follow what they mean and i am completely lost. Can anyone provide a really simple explanation on what i need to do to resolve my duplicate row issue? i urgently need to find a solution to this. Regards
I am stuck on creating views using the variables. I keep on getting the 'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch error. I understand that views need to be the first statement, but I have a lot of views that need to reference specific variables - is there any way to do this?
The code I am using is as follows:
DECLARE @view varchar(MAX) DECLARE @database varchar(30) SET @database = 'KateTEST3'
--Insert views SET @view = 'USE ['+@database+'] SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
CREATE view [dbo].[userssupplier] as SELECT * FROM dbo.Users WHERE (User_Type = 4.0) OR (User_Type = 5.2)' EXEC(@view)
I have an installation script and want to create a database based on some data in a table (config). Testing the script though I get a message:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1 Line 12: Incorrect syntax near '@DBData'.
The relevant sql is:
declare @DBName varchar (40) declare @DBData varchar (40) declare @DBLog varchar (40) declare @DBSize int select @DBName = obj_txt from config where obj_nm='DBName' select @DBData = @DBName + '_Data' select @DBLog = @DBName + '_Log' select @DBSize = obj_int from config where obj_nm='DBSize' raiserror('Creating Database %s ....',0,1,@DBName) with nowait
Create Database @DBName on @DBData = @DBSize Log on @DBLog = @DBSize
I don't think there's anything wrong, apart from the fact I am using the local variables. Is this allowed on a Create Database statement? I haven't found anything in Technet that may help.
I would need to create multiple variables with the same format forfuture update, what I did is listing them separately, is there an easyway to combine them in one step? please see query below. Thanks a lot!--Current Query--SELECT cast(0.0 as money) as balance_1,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_2,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_3,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_4,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_5,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_6,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_7,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_8,account_no,XXXINTO table1FROM accountCan I do something like this? This one didn't work.SELECT balance_1 to balance_8 (cast 0.0 as money),account_no,XXXINTO table1FROM account
I'd like to be able to call different packages from a control flow. These packages will have different requirements for parameters therefore I'd like to create them dynamically.
Is this possible? Can I do it using a script task?
I've tried declaring and setting variables in my sql statement and then trying to use them instead of defining a column directly - sorry quite hard to explain, i'll do a simple example
eg
DECLARE @column DECLARE @value SET @column = 'col1' SET @value = 'bloggs'
Select * FROM table1 WHERE @column = @value
It keeps returning no results even though i've tried
Select * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = 'bloggs' -- which returns results
I realise its the column which is not being selected, but there must be a way by using a variable?
Hello, I'm quite new to T-SQL, but since I'm trying to create a statistics page on database contents (Counting savesets in Enterprise Vault saveset Databases) I prefer to do the coding in the databases. I create temp tables for the distinct partitions in the saveset table. Then I pass 2 variables to the EXEC function, but it seems unable to pass the ['+@idpartition+']-variable as a value: Declare @EVBase varchar(20)Declare @IdPartition INTSet @EVBase=(SELECT EVMbxName from Servers) Set @IdPartition=(SELECT TOP 1 Dist_Partitions FROM TEMP_EV1)EXEC('SELECT COUNT (IdPartition)FROM ['+@evbase+']..SAVESET SS LEFT OUTER JOIN SavesetStore SSS ON SS.SavesetIdentity = SSS.SavesetIdentityWHERE [IdPartition] = ['+@idpartition+'] AND StoreIdentifier IS NULL') Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 2Invalid column name '0'. If I change the last line to: WHERE [IdPartition] = 2 AND StoreIdentifier IS NULL')The script runs fine - but I need the value from the table. Any help will be appreciated. Best regards, Tim
I am trying to run a query where my Table and my request are variables(Will be used in Stored Procedure)Declare @EmailVARCHAR(100)Declare @TableVARCHAR(50)Declare @Count VARCHAR(8)DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(500)set @Table = 'tblManager'set @Email = 'cauer@tampabay.rr.com'Set @cmd = 'Select count(*) as Count from ' + @Table + ' WHERE Email= ' + @Emailexec(@cmd)The error I get isServer: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 7Invalid column name 'cauer@tampabay.rr.com'.I have worked on this for a while, any help would be greatlyappreciated.Chris Auer
My derived column transformation with a user variable expression displays the user variable's default and not its assignned value.
Background: I built a script component that seems to effectively assign a new value to a user variable. I use local variables within the component, make the assignment in the PostExecute subroutine, and check by writing the user variable to a messagebox there.
In the derived column transformation I create a new column and insert the user variable in its expression field, add a data viewer, and send it to a data destination. The data viewer shows the user variable default and not the assignned value.
I replaced the user variable with a system variable in the expression field and that works fine.
Have folks successfully used this scenario before? Any ideas? Thanks.
I have two tables, one a data table, the other a product table. I want to perform a join on the two tables with values distributed into columns based on the value in the month field.
I would like to use variables to set the table name and some column names of a SQL Query in a stored procedure (the variable values will come from a webpage)... something like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_SelectWorkHours @DayName varchar,@DayIDName varchar AS BEGINSELECT @DayName.InTime1, @DayName.OutTime1, @DayName.InTime2, @DayName.OutTime2 FROM @DayName INNER JOINWorkHours ON @DayName.@DayIDName = @DayName.@DayIDName INNER JOINEmployees ON WorkHours.WorkHoursID = Employees.WorkHoursID END RETURN ...is this possible?? if so how? Thanks
However the issue is with [1],[2],[3] columns. Those are the number of days of the month. If today is the 3rd day of the month, we only need to show 3 days. So the final table has column [1],[2],[3] and @AccountType and @Total .
We want to run this query everyday to get the moth to date values.If we run this tomorrow, it will have 4 date columns [1], [2],[3],[4] and @AccountType and @Total .
The report runs but I get a "#ERROR" when I place the field on the report.
I next tried creating a new column with the SQL statement:
SELECT Project.ProjectCode AS PC, Project.StatusCode AS SC, Time.StandardHours AS Hours, Time.StandardChargeAmt AS StdAmt, Time.TaskUID as UID, Time.StandardChargeRate as Rate, ChargeableFlag, 'Bill' =
Case When TaskRule.ChargeableFlag = 0 Then 'Non-Bill' When TaskRule.ChargeableFlag = 1 Then 'Billable'
[Code] .....
This query, less the case statement for BLAmt creates the dataset for the SSRS. Adding the Case statement for the BLAmt produces the error: "Invalid column name 'Negamt'."
Can anyone assist me with a script that adds a new column to a table then inserts new values into the new column based on the Table below. i have included an explanation of what the script should do.

I have 2 tables in a database. Table 1 is Parts and Table 2 is MiniParts. I need a script that adds a new column in the MiniParts table. and then populate the new column (NewMinipartsCL) based on Values that exist in the PartsNum column in the Parts Table, and MiniPartsCL column in the MiniParts columns.
The new column is NewMiniPartsCL. The table above shows the values that the new column (NewMiniPartsCL) should contain.
For Example Anytime you have "1" in the PartsNum column of the Parts Table and the MiniPartsCL column of the MiniParts Table has a "K" , the NewMiniPartsCL column in the MiniParts Table should be populated with "DK" ( as shown in the table above).
Anytime you have "1" in the PartsNum column of the Parts Table and the MiniPartsCL column of the MiniParts Table has a "K" , the NewMiniPartsCL column in the MiniParts Table should be populated with "K" ( as shown in the table above). etc..
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
For example,I have a table "authors" with a column "author_name",and it has three value "Anne Ringer,Ann Dull,Johnson White".Here I want to create a new table by using a select sentence,its columns come from the values of the column "author_name".
can you tell me how can I complete this with the SQL?
First post here and am looking for some help with a issue I have with concatenation.
I am looking to concatenate two columns together into one new column...

Hi,there's a method to concatenate fields in a WHERE clause?I've a parameter which represents a name and surname of a person; in the table I've two fields representing one the name and the other the surname. I'd like to do a "LIKE" comparison concatenating Name and Surname field and confronting with my parameter... Is it possible?
Hi,I've a table with two fields representing one Name and the other teh Surname of a persona. I've a to create a Stored Procedure with one input parameter that is a string containing Name and Surname (I don't know in waht order...)What I'd like to do is to concatenate teh fields Name and Surname and confronting with "LIKE" in the "WHERE" clause... something like this:Select Name, Surname FROM XXX where (Name + ' ' + Surname LIKE @parameter OR Surname + ' '+ Name LIKE @parameter).The problem is that I don't know neither if it is possible neither the correct syntax...
