HI,
Is there any way to replicate the decode function in SQL Server 7.0? I have a problem where I have to write a query such that if the value in a column is '0' , I need to output it as 'No' and if it is '1', I need to output it as 'Yes'. An example of my problem is as follows:
select col_1+","+(value 'No' if col_2='0' and 'Yes' if col_2='1')+
","+col_3+...........
I appreciate your help in advance.
thanks,
Sravan.
I need to know how can i incoporate the functionality of DECODE function like the one in ORACLE in mSSQL..
please if anyone can help me out...
ali
how can I write decode function in sql
such that i have a feild in my table called "file type" based on its content i want to pass a value to sql datasource
such that if file type = doc i want to pass "~/Images/ico_filetype_10.gif" an so on
In Oracle we have expression
SELECT
.....
DECODE (T.LANGUAGE, 'E', T.DESC_ENG, T.DESC)
FROM
TABLE T
if acts like that :
if T.LANGUAGE = 'E' it returns T.DESC_ENG. If it is different - T.DESC.
Is there some way to make the same in MS SQL Server ?
I have to run a query to give a column a value based on a time range. Can Iuse DECODE?select decode(trans_date, trans_date>='01-Jul-2002' andtrans_date<='30-Jun-2003','Fiscal2002', .....) as fiscal,from. . .where. . .

I have oracle statement and I want to translate it in SQL Server:
select DECODE(count(bid_Vendor), 1, NULL, COUNT(BID_VENDOR))
from bid_total
I tried it this way:
Select case(count(bid_vendor) when 1 then null else count(bid_vendor)end) as cs from bid_total
It gave me error i.e.
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'when'
Hello,
I need to do the following:
Lets say we have the following table.
A B C
1 XYZ XYZ
100
Now if the value of a is "100" then i need to do a join and get a value from another table, else I put the value of b a "test"
I am trying to do this using case
like this
select case
(when a = 100 then (select col from ....where newtable.id = a.id
else "test"
end) as xyz
from a,b,other tables.
But the problem is that the subquery returns more than one row..(it should return one row)
How do I do this?
hi i have a view in oracle. in that i am using decode function.
same query i want to write it in sqlserver. what it is the alternate
to decode.
this is a cross tab query
SELECT code, SUM(DECODE(field1, 4, Present_Value, 0)) AS c1, SUM(DECODE(field1, 5, Present_Value, 0)) AS c2,
SUM(DECODE(field1, 6, Present_Value, 0)) AS c3,SUM(DECODE(field1, 9, Present_Value, 0)) AS c4
FROM (SELECT field1,Code, Present_Value FROM table1) DERIVEDTBL GROUP BY code
thanks

Hi,I have two questions, firstly..
I am hoping there is a way to GROUP BY on a concatenated output like the following decode etc..
SELECT
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'','Reasons not entered',PRIM_REASN)
|| ' '
||SECDY_REASN
|| ' '
|| TERT_REASN) Downtime_Reasons,
EVENT_DUR/60 Minutes
FROM
DOWNTIME_WEB
WHERE
DOWNTIME_WEB.TIMESTAMP>= (SELECT PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME
FROM PRODN_SHIFT
WHERE
PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME <=sysdate
AND PRODN_SHIFT.END_DATIME > sysdate)
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.STATUS_TEXT) = 'STOPPED'
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.WORK_CTR_NAME) = 'PACK2'
ORDER BY DOWNTIME_WEB.EVENT_DUR
I have tried to put the DECODE etc into the GROUP BY statement but I get an error - " not a valid GROUP BY clause"
Secondly, is there a way of modifying value in field A based on the value in field B
Erroneous example follows - in an effort to explain what I want to do (from above):
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'',(DECODE(EVENT_DUR,<200,"Low",>200,"High"),PRIM_REASN)
ie:If PRIM_REASN is null I want EVENT_DUR to be tested to determine the new value for PRIM_REASN.
Except that tthe above won't work and I don't know what the right function/argument should be..
This is my first foray into SQL server, I am trying to migrate some access queries to work with web services and hence Xcelsius.
Cheers.
What is the function in SQL that works like DECODE in Oracle?"Thanks,N

I have a question about the "Decode" funktion. is it only avaiable in Oracle? The reason for my question is that I need to SELECT a colum in a table based on a int value. So if the uservalue is lower then that take that colum, lower then that take colum...etc.
Can I use decode? or/and is there better funktion (I'm using MS SQL 2005)
Thanks in advance

I need to know what is the DECODE statement called in SQLSERVER?
Can somebody provide me simple decode statement for sqlserver.

Hi, Here is my oracle statement. How can I change it to be compatible with SQL Server?
update propertytable set visible =decode(propertyid, 1,0, 2,0, 3,1, 5,1, 6,1, 7,0, 9,1, 10,1, 11,0, 14,1, 30,1, 38,1, 60,0, 232,0, 233,0, 415,1, 605,0) where parentid between 2000006001 and 2000006020
Thanks...
I am a novice to SQL Server, so this is probably a really easy problemto fix. I'm translating an Oracle query and need to change the'decode' to something compatible. Everything I've read points me tousing 'case' but no matter how I write it I can't get it to work andget a syntax error. Suggestions?select SYST CTR, isnull(substring(CD_A, 1, 3), ' ') RESCODE, DES DESCRIPTION, decode (substring(CD_A, 1, 3), CODE,PRICE,0) UNIT_PRICE, count (distinct OR_NO) QTYW

Hi,
How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????

how to execute this stored procedure to decode a varchar hexadecimal string? My SQL syntax stills have faded with the sands of time... I want to do a select * from the users table and decode the Password field (but not update) in the process.

I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function

Got some errors on this one...
Is Rand function cannot be used in the User Defined function?
Thanks.
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
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.
Hi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.

Can anybody know ,how can we add builtin functions(ROW_NUMBER()) of Sql Server 2005 into database library.
I get this error when i used into storeprocedure :
ROW_NUMBER() function is not recognized in store procedure.
i used MS SQL SERVER 2005 , so i think "ROW_FUNCTION()" is not in MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library.
I need to add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library.
Can anbody know how we can add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library?

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!
