Thanks

TSQL Function
Jun 20, 2008Hey guys,
I have been trying to get a function to work but have been having a hard time. The tables that are used are a translation and validation tables. But the translation can be from different tables. What i would like the function to do is take in a 'description of a type' and a language code and send back the translated version. The issue is that the table is dynamic and there is my issue with my function.
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[Trans]
(
@Trans_description AS NVarchar(200),
@languageid AS nvarchar(10)
)
RETURNS nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@return AS nvarchar(50),
@TABLENAME AS nvarchar(50),
@sql AS nvarchar(100)
set @TableName = (select top(1) listtable from validationType where validationtypeDesc = @Trans_description)
SET @return =
(SELECT TOP (1) ValidationDesc FROM [translationvalidationlist] WHERE validationpartyid IN
(SELECT validationpartyid FROM @TableName WHERE validationtypePartyid IN
(select validationtypepartyid FROM validationtype WHERE validationtypeDesc = @Trans_description
))AND LANGUAGEID = @languageid)
RETURN @return
END
Is there anyway to do a @return = exec(@sql) of course sql would be the current @return. Right now i get the error Must declare the table variable "@TableName".
Thank you so much for all your help.
TSQL - Using Sum Function
Sep 18, 2007Hi guys,
I am looking for a solution to the problem described below (SQL SERVER 2000).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Aldo.
The script below:
Code Snippet
SELECT
Data.[Invoice No] AS 'InvoiceNo',
[JurnalTrans.REF2] AS 'JurnalTrans.REF2',
[JurnalTransMoves.SUF] AS 'JurnalTransMoves.SUF',
[RowIDDataLevel] AS 'RowIDDataLevel',
CASE WHEN RowIDDataLevel = 1 THEN CAST(Paid AS int) ELSE '0' END AS 'Paid' ,
CASE WHEN RowIDDataLevel = 1 THEN CAST([JurnalTransMoves.SUF] - [Paid] AS int) ELSE '0' END AS 'OutstandingBalance'
FROM CTE AS Data
INNER JOIN (SELECT [Invoice No], SUM([JurnalTransMoves.SUF]) AS Paid FROM CTE GROUP BY [Invoice No]) AS SUMSUF ON SUMSUF.[Invoice No] = DATA.[Invoice No]
ORDER BY [Accounts.ACCOUNTKEY], Data.[Invoice No], [RowIDDataLevel]
Gives these results:
Invoice No JurnalTrans.REF2 JurnalTransMoves.SUF RowIDDataLevel Paid OutstandingBalance
----------- ---------------- ---------------------- -------------- ----------- ------------------
5752 NULL 1155 1 1810 -655
5752 2032 400 2 0 0
5752 2033 155 3 0 0
5752 2034 100 4 0 0
5754 NULL 1732.5 1 2482 -750
5754 2035 750 2 0 0
16687 NULL 2555.8 1 2555 0
Where:
1810 (Paid) = 1155 + 400 + 155 + 100
2482 = 1732 + 750
and so on...
What I need is to get:
instead of 1810 ==> 655 = 400 + 155 + 100
instead of 2482 ==> 750
and so on...
In order to do that, I tried inserting "WHERE RowIDDataLevel Not In (1) " in the line:
Code Snippet
INNER JOIN (SELECT [Invoice No], SUM([JurnalTransMoves.SUF]) AS Paid FROM CTE WHERE RowIDDataLevel Not In (1) GROUP BY [Invoice No]) AS SUMSUF ON SUMSUF.[Invoice No] = DATA.[Invoice No]
and then getting the following:
InvoiceNo JurnalTrans.REF2 JurnalTransMoves.SUF RowIDDataLevel Paid OutstandingBalance
----------- ---------------- ---------------------- -------------- ----------- ------------------
5752 NULL 1155 1 655 500
5752 2032 400 2 0 0
5752 2033 155 3 0 0
5752 2034 100 4 0 0
5754 NULL 1732.5 1 750 982
5754 2035 750 2 0 0
That it is almost what I need, but not good enough because it makes the line marked in red to disappear because of RowIDDataLevel =1
16687 NULL 2555.8 1 2555 0
to disappear.
Greatest Function In TSQL
Aug 20, 2007Hi All,
I need to find the highest of two numbers and lowest of the two numbers.

GREATEST is not a recognized built-in function name.
all I have is
declare @first int, @second int
set @first='12'
set @second='14'
select GREATEST(@first,@second)
Can somebody point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much

Doing A DLookup In ASP.NET Project To A SQL Database
Feb 8, 2008I have a VB.NET Class called 'Approve' with a public function 'CanApprove' which returns a boolean value and accepts an input parameter of 'CurrentUserID' of type integer.
I want to use something like this that I have usedin Access with VBA:
lngID = Nz(DLookup("PermissionID", "tblPermissions", "ManagerID=" & UserID & " AND CurrentUserID=" & CurrentUserID & " AND Permission='A'"), 0)
So that if the person who is currently logged in has permissions over the person whose invoice he/she is viewing to approve, it will return a positive value so that if lngID > 0 then set CanApprove=false or vice versa.
How do I do this in ASP.net?
DLookUp With Multi-value Field
May 13, 2014I have a multi value field into which I have placed several different values. I wish to compare a value that is entered by the user with the multi value field, to find if the value entered is there. I am assuming ( and also hoping) that I can use DLookUp to do this. At the moment I get all of the multi values returned by DlookUp and they are separated by commas and the value that I want to find is in there. However this is giving me an error because of the separating commas. How can I isolate/extract the value that I want so that I can make a comparison ? Is it something like MyFieldName.Value?

Pass Output Of A Function To Another Function As Input

I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

TSQL Or SQL CLR?
Aug 9, 2006Hello Friends, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question but if not please suggest me when it can be posted.
I have been thinking of writing Stored procs in SQL CLR/ changing all of my Stored Procs to SQL CLR.
Is there any thing that I need to keep in mind about the size of the sotred proc (like calculation intensive) before I do that? I mean can even change a TSQL stored proc which is relatively small Stored Proc, that simply said Select * from Customers to SQL CLR? or the SQL CLR does only useful/makes difference with calculation intensive stored procs and big stored procs?
When I talked to our Architects they said every small sized stored proc can be written using SQL CLR and more over forget about the classic TSQL stored procs and get used to write SQL CLR when ever writing any database related stuff.
And also there are so many articles that discussed about the advantages of SQL CLR over the TSQL but I would appreciate if some one could put few bulletted points why do you think SQL CLR is more powerful.
Please advise.Thanks in advance,-L

Jan 8, 2006Hi
I am creating some dynamic sql by passing variouse parametrs to my Stored Procedure. One of my Parameters is string has lots of values seperated by a comma to help build an 'IN' statement.
SET @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM areas'SET @p1 = '10,20'If @p1 IS NOT NULLBEGINSET @sSQL = @sSQL + ' WHERE (Areas IN (''' + Replace(@p1,',',''',''') + '''))'END
The above query runs perfecly well in Query Analyser, however when I put it into my ASP.NET application I get an error of "Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
So I think I need to do some sort of casting or Converting but im not sure how to do it. Or do I need to use a INSTRING?
I did manage to work out a method by using the follwoing
SELECT * FROM Areas WHERE PATINDEX('%,' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + ',%',',' + @p1 + ',') > 0
But I cant seem to convert the above line into coherent dynamic statement. My feeble attempt is below but I keep getting errors
SET @sql = @sql + ' WHERE PATINDEX(''%,'' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + '',%'','','' + @p1 + '','') > 0'
IM strugging to understand all the '''. My TSQL is pretty basic, any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks in advance

Hi all!
To find out the duplicate entries in a particular column,
I used the following tsql
select pno ,count(pno) from table1 group by pno
having count(pno)>1
But now I have another case where i have to test duplicity as a combination of 3 columns.
ie, for Eg :I have 3 columns with the following values.
colA colB colC
1 2 3===============row 1
1 3 5===============row 2
1 2 3===============row 3
1 4 5===============row 4
8 9 0===============row 5
I want to pick up all the duplicate rows(combo of colA,colB,colC)
duplicate rows here would be row 1 and row 3.
Can somebody give me a clue as to how to achieve this via TSQL.
Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA

TSQL Help
Aug 4, 2004I need help with a query that I want to incorporate into a scheduled DTS within SQL Server 2000. I have a process that brings in records from an Excel file, compares that day's records with any related information already stored in the database, then saves a table of joined records. This leaves me with any matches to the data. I need to filter out all but the most current record, which would be identified by a column named [DATE]. Ex:
Table tblMatchedRecords
M BLah Blah2 [DATE]
1 this that 20040101
2 this them 20040102
3 this that 20040630
In this example, I would like to have the record with [DATE] = 20040630 kept, and the others deleted. All columns do not always have to match exactly. I want to be able to specify which fields that need to match and pull only the latest date.
Make sense? Can anyone offer any suggestions?
