I have a very simple Join Query like
Select A, B , C
From Database1.dbo.Table1 Inner Join Database2.dbo.Table2
Now problem is that Database name for the project freuqently changes though Table1 and Table2 names remain constant.
How can I store Datbase name at a central place in a table or as a constant so that I can use them in above query. It will allow me to change them at one place without making changes in all the sps where they are used
I have an sql 7.0 server. I need to run a query on a remote oracle server then take that output and inner join it with another table on the remote oracle server... then I need to put it a table in a database on my sql server... Anyone know how to do it? Help would be greatly appreciated...
I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG); DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = ?; DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table. The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table. The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
A piece of software I wrote starting timing out on a query that left outer joins a table to a view. Both the table and view have approximately the same number of rows (about 170000).
The table has 2 very similar columns, one is a varchar(1) and another is varchar(100). Neither are included in any index and beyond the size difference, the columns have the same properties. One of the employees here uses the varchar(1) column (called miscsearch) to tag large sets of rows to perform some action on. In this case, he had set 9000 rows miscsearch value to "g". The query then should join the table and view for all rows where miscsearch is set to g in the table. This query takes at least 20 minutes to run (I stopped it at this point).
If I remove the "where" clause and join all rows in the two tables, the query completes in about 20 seconds. If set the varchar(100) column (called descrip) to "g" for the same rows set via miscsearch, the query completes in about 20 seconds.
If I force the join type to a hash join, the query completes using miscsearch in about 30 seconds.
So, this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER HASH JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
and this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE descrip = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
But this does't:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
What should I be looking for here to understand why this is happening?
Hi. I'm doing a statistics of usage as a T-SQL on a MSSQL server. I would need to systematically 'stick' tables together. lets say I have a @temptable:
Code:
DECLARE @temptable TABLE (YearM int, Period int)
and I have created another table
Code:
DECLARE @temptablecounts TABLE (YearM int, Period int, Count int)
Now I would like to make something like
Code:
@temptable = @temptable join @temptablecounts on YearM, Period
so I would get a table which looks like this: Code:
@temptable (YearM, Period, Count)
That would I need to do a few more times, so finally I would get a table like:
Code:
@temptable (YearM, Period, Count, Count, Count ...) etc.
Is it somehow possible? Exists any other way to do what I need? Please help
Hello folks,Old programmer learning new tricks.I think similar issues have been posted, but I would like to ask some helpwith the following code...select [t1.*],[t2.userid] as [userid2],[t2.approved],[t2.type]from [tblMembers] as t1 left outer join [tblProfiles] as t2on [t1.userid]=[t2.userid]where ...I get the following error...[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name't1.userid'.....but there is a [userid] in both tables. Do I have to make them keys orsomething? And I need to do work (add and update) on both tables after thevalues are returned.Also, how bad is my syntax? If you could give advice on removing extraneousbrackets and I would like to not have to use the "as" clause. I really justwant to keep it simple. Whatever works though.Thanks
Hello, thanks in advance for reading this. I am having difficulty trying to get a statement to work.
There is a MAIN table: ItemNo int identity(1,0), ItemType tinyint
There is a WETPAINT table: ItemNo int, Color varchar(20)
There is a DRYPAINT table: ItemNo int, Color varchar(20)
Now, what I want to do is JOIN the MAIN table to either the WETPAINT table or the DRYPAINT table depending on the value of MAIN.ItemType
So I created a table function called getTable:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[gettable] ( @ItemType int = 1 ) RETURNS @thistable TABLE ( Color varchar(20)
) AS BEGIN if @ItemType = 1 insert into @thistable (color) select color from WETPAINT if @ItemType = 2 insert into @thistable (color) select color from DRYPAINT RETURN END
This is all fine and dandy if I iterate through the MAIN table one row at a time, but how can I JOIN the tables, like:
SELECT MAIN.ItemNo, a.Color FROM MAIN INNER JOIN gettable(Main.ItemNo) as a ON a.ItemNo = MAIN.ItemNo
Obviously, there is more than one field in the DRYPAINT and WETPAINT tables, and there is a need to have both tables instead of combining them into one.
Any help in how to create a table alias by passing a value from the select statement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.
PS -- I am trying to create a view with this, so I can't use variables and iterate through the MAIN table one row at a time.
I have 2 tables, I will add sample data to them to help me explain...Table1(Fields: A, B)=====1,One2,Two3,ThreeTable2(Fields: A,B)=====2,deux9,neufI want to create a query that will only return data so long as the key(Field A) is on both tables, if not, return nothing. How can I dothis? I am thnking about using a 'JOIN' but not sure how to implementit...i.e: 2 would return data- but 9 would not...any help would be appreciated.
how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name FROM... WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
SELECT TOP 1 @From = CONVERT(char,CreateDate,101) FROM CustomerInfo WHERE TicketNum = (SELECT TOP 1 TicketNum FROM CustomerInfo WHERE CreateDate <= DATEADD(mm, -30, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) ORDER BY CreateDate DESC) SELECT @To = CONVERT(char,GETDATE(),101)
SET @DBName = 'Archive_SafeHelp' CREATE DATABASE @DBName + ' ' + @From + ' ' + @To END
I am trying to create a database based on the name contained in the variables. I get the error 'Incorrect syntax near '@DBName'. How do i accomplish this?
I need to run a DELETE query based on 2 tables. I can't use JOIN with delete queries, so how do I do this?
What I initially tried to do was:
Code:
DELETE FROM tblProductState JOIN tblProduct ON tblProduct.id_Product = tblProductState.id_Product WHERE tblProductState.id_State = 54 AND tblProduct.id_ProductType = 1
Basically, I need to delete FROM tblProductState, WHERE tblProductState.id_State = 54 AND tblProduct.id_ProductType = 1
How can I do this without using JOIN. Use a sub-query? How?
SELECT ISNULL(count (agencyCandidate.JobID) ,0) as Total, MAX(RecJobAds.PostedDt) as PostedDt, MAX(RecJobAds.JobTitle) as JobTitle, RecJobAds.JobId, MAX (AgencyCandidate.AgencyId) as agentID, MAX(RecJobAds.AdStatus) as status, MAX(RecJobAds.CompanyId) as CompanyId, MAX(RecJobAds.RecId) as RecId FROM RecJobAds LEFT JOIN AgencyCandidate ON RecJobAds.JobId = AgencyCandidate.JobId GROUP BY RecJobAds.JobId ORDER BY Total ASC
i have the above query. but i would like to join in a third table, where my query is
Code:
select * from RecruiterMA where Activated = '1'.
anyidea in which place i can put the second query in the first query? thank you very much!

Hello,There are 2 tables A(bot_id,bot_date,gomA,gomB) B(gom_id,hist_date, gom_name) table B holds the names for gomA and gomB in tableA.I wish to select A table and inner join to it gom_name for gomA and gomB IDs.The problem begins when in table B there is multiple values for gom_id, with difference names.So, to retrieve the correct B.gom_id, there is 2 conditions. first bot_date>B.hist_date and after this, if we still gets multiple records then the top record will be selected (order by date) Any ideas?
I really need some help. I'm going nuts. I been trying to get this to work all morning and i cant get it it work. the simple version is I am trying to join these two sql queries and make them one.
Code:
SELECT news. * , CONCAT( users.user_fname, " ", users.user_lname ) AS org_author FROM news LEFT JOIN users ON news.news_author = users.user_id WHERE news_id =41
SELECT CONCAT('users.user_fname', 'users.user_lname') *AS edit FROM users WHERE users.user_id=54
my previous attempts are
trouble with query.
I have a news table which has the ID of the original author and a column for the author who last edits the news article. both columns store the id of the author.
now when I'm editing the article I want to get the name of the author from the users table.
I have done a left join to get the first author (original author) but I'm having a real hard time trying to get the name of the author who last edited the record.
they both need to lookup the user_fname and user_lname fields from the users table.
my current sql is below
Code:
SELECT news.*, CONCAT(users.user_fname, " ",users.user_lname) AS org_author FROM news LEFT JOIN users ON news.news_author=users.user_id WHERE news_id=41
which gives me
Code:
news_id *news_subject *news_article *news_author *news_date *news_edited *edit_author *org_author * 41InterclubBunbury IC club has asked us all to attend a inter...771090247547109041836254Adam Green
Now how do i adapt it to get the name of the author to last edit the article? do I do a sub query another left join ??? every way I try doesn't work.
this is what I'm currently trying to get it with.
Code:
SELECT news. * , CONCAT( users.user_fname, " ", users.user_lname ) AS org_author FROM news LEFT JOIN users ON news.news_author = users.user_id LEFT JOIN (
SELECT CONCAT( users.user_fname, " ", users.user_lname ) AS edit_author FROM news WHERE news.edit_author = users.user_id ) WHERE news_id =41
Heres a different approach that I thought would work
Code:
SELECT news. * , CONCAT( users.user_fname, " ", users.user_lname ) AS org_author FROM news LEFT JOIN users ON news.news_author = users.user_id LEFT JOIN (
SELECT concat( users.user_fname, users.user_lname ) AS edit FROM users WHERE users.user_id =54 ) AS edit WHERE news_id =41
but no i get this error
Code:
MySQL said:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax near '( SELECT concat( users.user_fname, users.user_lname ) *AS edit FROM users WHERE' at line 4
I also tried
Code:

but got this error

can anyone help me with this query its been driving me up the wall all morning.
how do I add in a 3rd and 4 table to the mix and get their sums and group by ...The top select works fine the lower one is what I was thinking is this.....
Select Distinct P.CustID, P.Acct, P.Title, P.FirstName, P.LastName, A.Trips, A.MoneySpent, A.Bal FROM dbo.Cust P INNER JOIN (SELECT CustID, Sum(Days) as Trips, SUM(MoneySpent) as MoneySpent, Sum(Balance) as Bal FROM dbo.CAsh Where Accumulator='DP' GROUP BY CustID) A ON P.CustID = A.CustID
