Hi there, my situation is
I have a table x with 3 filed
a nvarchar(100), b smalldatetime, c text(16)
. I want to create a view like this:
select a + ' ' + b + ' ' + c as all_field from x where all_field like %my_str%
So, I always get a message error said wrong datatype, how can i do, please help me.
I am a C# developer who was forced to use a DataSet with Infragistics grid instead of the class object I was using as a data source, so that I can implement an AddNew functionality directly in the grid.
In code I would simply add a read only property to do this, and it was much simpler, but if someone could point in the right direction as to can a view do what I want.
The field I want to create is called "Info" short for HasInfo.
Info has 3 values (from an enumeration) NoInfo = 0; HasResume = 1; HasHomeInfo = 2
The business logic for this is if we have a resume, I show a resume icon in the grid, if we do not have a resume, if we have home phone # or mobil # then an icon of phones are shown in the grid.
To find out if a contact has a resume the SQL is going to be something like if exists (select ContactResumeID from ContactResume Where ContactResume.ContactID = Contact.ContactID) then 1; and if that is not true; check if Contact.HomePhone is Not Null Or Empty or Contact.WorkPhone is not null or empty then 2 else 0
I can do this in C# blindfolded, but in SQL I am fish out of water for compound if statements.
The SQL for this view is shown below (creating using SQL Server Gui Selector which I think is real cool).
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[Employees]
AS
SELECT dbo.Company.CompanyID,
dbo.Company.Name AS CompanyName,
dbo.Contact.FirstName,
dbo.Contact.LastName,
dbo.Position.Title,
dbo.Department.DepartmentName,
dbo.ContactPosition.WorkPhone,
dbo.ContactPosition.Extension,
dbo.Contact.ContactID,
dbo.ContactPosition.ContactPositionID,
dbo.Department.DepartmentID,
dbo.Position.PositionID
FROM dbo.ContactPosition INNER JOIN dbo.Contact
ON dbo.ContactPosition.ContactID = dbo.Contact.ContactID INNER JOIN dbo.Position
ON dbo.ContactPosition.PositionID = dbo.Position.PositionID INNER JOIN dbo.Department
ON dbo.Position.DepartmentID = dbo.Department.DepartmentID INNER JOIN dbo.Company
ON dbo.Position.CompanyID = dbo.Company.CompanyID

I have created a view based on joining 3 tables, however, it is not possible to have a unique field in the view which I must need it and I must create index on some other fields. Is there any way to create sequence number or uniqie field in mssql view.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a table that houses fully qualified table names, roughly 15. How can I iterate that table and create a view ? For example, something like this
Code:
Create Table tocreateviewfrom (dbname varchar(100))
Insert Into tocreateviewfrom Values (foxfire.dbo.abcd), (foxfire.dbo.abcde), (foxfire.dbo.abcdf), (foxfire.dbo.abcdg), (foxfire.dbo.abcde), (foxfire.dbo.abcdl)
--Then somehow iterate each value in the field dbname to create a view something like
Create View viewcreatedfromtable As
Select * from foxfire.dbo.abcd
Union All
Select * from foxfire.dbo.abcde
[Code] ....
I tried this, but it is only printing the last result returned not the entire result set
Code:
Declare @database varchar(max), @sql varchar(max)
Declare c1 Cursor For
Select Program
from tocreateviewfrom
Open c1

Hi,
I have currently a problem with setting up the permissions for some developers. My configuration looks like this.
DB A is the productive database.
DB B is a kind of "development" database.
Now we have a couple of users call them BOB, DAVID, ...
who are members of the db role db_reader and db_writer for the productive db a but they should be allowed to do nearly everything on db b.
Therefor I added them to the db role db_owner for db b.
For testing purposes I tried to "CREATE" a view TEST as BOB in database B but I received the error message
'Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Procedure Test, Line 3
CREATE VIEW permission denied in database 'b'.'
I cross checked the permissions on db level and I even granted all available permissions on db level but nevertheless I receive this error message.
What's my mistake?
Of course it worked fine when I give them sysadmin rights but then they have far too much permissions.
Regards,
Stefan
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.

Hello All;
I'm new to SQL, and developing my first application using SQL 2000 as the back end for my data.
Can anyone tell me if I can create an SQL View from VBA?
I'm trying to create a data view that access various records from a single table, and it has to distribute that data 2 14 different subforms, representing different days in a 2 week period, which is distingiushed by a field called "Day", that is numbered from 1 to 14.
I also have a summary subform that has the weekly summary (days 1 to 7 and 8 to 14) on seperate subforms. In total I have 16 subforms, which actually source from a single table, just split depending on the day in the period.
As I see it now, creating views iis the best way for me to go, but I also have to be able to change the period id on the fly, so I'm think I have to use VBA to generate these views.
Does any of this make sense, and am I on the right track??

Create a view showing every order that was shipped to Spain. Name the destination column "DestinationSpain". Include code that checks if the view already exists. If it does, it should be dropped and re-created.
Use Northwind
Go
DROP VIEW Spain_Orders
Go
CREATE VIEW Spain_Orders
AS
SELECT *
FROM Orders
WHERE ShipCountry = 'Spain'
this is what I get.
server: Msg 3701, Level 11, State 5, Line 1
Cannot drop the view 'Spain_Orders', because it does not exist in the system catalog.

I've been running into more and more complexity with an application, becauseas time goes on - we need more and more high-level, rolled-up information.And so I've created views, and views that use other views.. and the queriesare getting slower and slower.This morning, I'm working on something like this:select<some columns>,"calculatedcolumn" = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit')fromsomeviewnow, I realized that I need to really return "calculatedcolumn" in a coupleother places in the select like this - well, this is what I WANT to do:select<some columns>,calculatedcolumn = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit'),otherfield = case SomeBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,otherfield1 = case SomeotherBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse sum(somefield)end,otherfield2 = case SomeBit2when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse avg(somefield)end,otherfield3 = case SomeBit3when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,fromsomeviewPoint is, I CAN'T do that, so I have to re-run that sub-select for EACH ofthese cases, and that is KILLING this stored procedure. It seems to me, thatif the database when and already got that field, for that row - I should beable to re-use, rather than going back out additional times.Is there a way to so this? Put simpler:selectx = (select top 1 user_id from users),bestUser=x,smartestUser=xfromUserscan I re-use "x" in that example. Thanks!
