I need it to dynamically output based off COL1, the output should look like this. When there are more rows for CAT, it should output more columns. Kind of like merging the columns
I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.
The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)

I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc. And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1
Hi, Can anyone help as to how to get this to work? dbo.parseInt is a Function which sorts Alpha Numerically. If I removed the top part of the UNION, the Procedure works fine.
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.ByJobNoAlphaNumeric as SELECT 0 AS JobID, '<All Jobs>' AS JobNo UNION SELECT JobID, JobNo FROM tbl ORDER BY dbo.parseInt(JobNo)
3. Add Union All component connected to Script source component
4. Add Script transformation component connected to Union All component
5. Mark F1 and F2 as input collumns
6. In the Input and Output section of the script transformation component check that length of the fields is 50 and 110 correspondingly
7. Edit Union All component: change Union All Input 1 to <ignore> for Output collumns F1, and F2; change Union All Input 1 to F2 for F1 and F1 for F2; change back <ignore> for F1, <ignore> for F2; set back F1 for F1, F2 for F2; Click OK to save
8. In the Input and Output section of the script transformation component check that length of the both fields is 110 now.
So, be careful to select output columns values in Union All component. If you choose wrong field by accident, and replaced it with correct one straight away, the length of output column could be stored not as you expect an need.

When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
Sample Data:
;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS ( SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'
I have a view that is using UNION ALL to combine common fields of two tables, this is my statement:
SELECT ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER FROM dbo.CT_FRAME_T
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER FROM dbo.CT_ATM_T
This works fine, but I would also like some fields that do not match to appear in the view. It is OK if the value is null for the rows of data from the other table that doesn't have the columns.
The other columns are called DLCI from CT_FRAME_T and then VPI, VCI from CT_ATM_T.
My view would then return ID, STATUS, ACTIVE_STATUS, NS_PARENT_CHANGE_NUM, NS_REP, NS_CHANGE_NUM, NS_CHANGE_IDENTIFER, DLCI (where applicable), VPI and VCI (where applicable). Is this possible?
I have two tables Encounter & Encounter_History. They have same columns. One column is of type CLOB. My requirement is to retrieve all the distinct records from both the tables with order by a date column. But problem is, UNION does not work in case of CLOB data type.

Please give me suggestion, how to solve this problem.
For example: The following query does not work since column1 is a CLOB data type
select column1 from table1 union select column1 from table2

Can someone please explain the difference between Output and External columns? I can't fathom why "Output" columns aren't good enough. In other words, what is there a need or value in having two types of "output" columns?
I have a long running trigger that makes calls to several tables in order to get values for a list of parameters before doing my final INSERT statement into a different table.
One of my parameters is for a local language translation of a particular word which is stored in a table. The problem is - I do not know the name of the table until runtime when I dynamically build the name as follows:
DECLARE @SQL nVarChar(200) SET @SQL = 'SELECT @Translation = nvcLocalEventDescription FROM Monitoring.dbo.tblSignalTemplate' + CAST(@MonitoringCentreID AS nVarChar) + ' WHERE nvcEventDescription = "' + @EventDescription + '"'
If there is a MonitoringCentreID of 1234, then there will be a table named tblSignalTemplate1234 - which will contain a nvcLocalEventDescription field containing the value that I am after. Here is the code for the stored procedure...
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_parmsel_LocalEventDescription] @strSQL nVarchar(150), @Translation nVarChar(100) OUTPUT AS EXECUTE sp_executesql @strSQL GO
The error I get is "Must declare the variable '@Translation'" - which has thrown me a little as it declared on the 3rd line of the stored proc.
Anyone got any ideas where I am going wrong, or as usual, is there a simpler way ?
Can anyone tell me if it's possible in SQL Server 2000 to build dynamically a select statement and get some values to variables (simple not tables) from the select ?
I know this has been dealt with a lot, but I would still reallyappreciate help. Thanks.I am trying to transform this tableYY--ID-Code-R1-R2-R3-R4...R402004-1-101--1--2-3-42004-2-101--2--3-4-2....2005-99-103-4-3-2-1Into a table where the new columns are the count for 4-3-2-1 for everydistinct code in the first table based on year.

We have a table with 500+ columns. The data is non-normalized, i.e. there are four groups of fields for for "people", followed by data that applies to all people in the row (a "household").For ad-hoc queries, and because I wanted to index columns within each person (person 1's age, person 2's age, etc.), I used UNION:
SELECT P1Firstname AS FirstName, P1LastName as LastName, P1birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns> UNION SELECT P2Firstname AS FirstName, P2LastName as LastName, P2birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns>
I could get at least the P1... P2... P3... columns with PIVOT, but then I believe I'd have to JOIN back to the row anyway for the "household" columns. Performance of UNION good, but another person here chose to use PIVOT instead.I can' find any articles on PIVOT vs. UNION for "de-flattening".
I need to have a dynamic pivot since i import the table from a csv that could have different amount of columns each time. I can't even get a static pivot to work.
The dynamic SQL statements with output parameters, unfortunately, in the documentation are not described. À) Simple example of the dynamic SQL statement with output parameters
-- dynamic SQL statements expects parameter of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'. declare @SQLString nvarchar(4000), @ParmDefinition nvarchar(4000) -- the third parameter passed in the dynamic statement as by output, returns the length of -- the hypotenuses of a right triangle, two first parameters are lengths of legs of a triangle declare @nHypotenuse float select @SQLString = 'select @nHypotenuse = sqrt(square(@nLeg1_of_a_triangle)+square(@nLeg2_of_a_triangle))', @ParmDefinition = '@nLeg1_of_a_triangle float, @nLeg2_of_a_triangle float, @nHypotenuse float out' -- we call the dynamic statement in such a way exec sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, @nLeg1_of_a_triangle = 3.0, @nLeg2_of_a_triangle = 4.0, @nHypotenuse = @nHypotenuse out -- or in such a way exec sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, 3.0, 4.0, @nHypotenuse out select @nHypotenuse -- Displays 5.0

Arvind writes "i want to create a stored procedure returns an OUTPUT variable containing the no. of records given by a query, the query being dynamic. Preferrably the query should also be passed as a parameter to the stored procedure...If not,it should be constructed in the SP and a Part of the where clause is dependant on the value of another variable passed to the SP.
How should the query be constructed, executed, and then the Count(*) value returned?
"WHERE <condition1> AND <condition 2> ;
"AND <condition 2> " may exist or may not exist in the query; it is dependant."
Note that in the sp_executesql statement, the @ret variable from the dynamic SQL gets assigned to the local variable @retVal.
Here's the problem; when the procedure [log].[Log.SetSeverityLevel] that gets dynamically executed does a RAISERROR, the code in [dbo].[ProcedureTest] falls through to the catch block in [dbo].[ProcedureTest] as it should, but the value of @retVal is null in the catch block, when the return code in [log].[Log.SetSeverityLevel] is set to -1.
If you comment out BEGIN TRY / END TRY / BEGIN CATCH / END CATCH in [dbo].[ProcedureTest], the value of @retVal is correctly seen as -1. There's something about the TRY CATCH structure that's blowing away @retVal when an error is raised and it falls through to the CATCH block.
Anybody ever seen this before? Is there a workaround?
I have created a dynamic SQL program that returns a range of columns (1 -12) based on the date range the user may select. Each dynamic column is month based, however, the date range may overlap from one year to another. Thus, the beginning month for one selection may be October 2005, while another may have the beginning month of January 2007.
Basically, the dynamic SQL is a derived Pivot table. The problem that I need to resolve is how do I now use this dynamic result set in a Report. Please keep in mind that the name of the columns change based on the date range select.
I have come to understand that a dynamic anything is a moving target!
I have a dynamic sql which uses Pivot and returns "technically" variable no. of columns.
Is there a way to store the dynamic sql's output in to a temp table? I don't want to create a temp table with the structure of the output and limit no. of columns hence changing the SP every time I get new Pivot column!!
I've got a question that I can't seem to find an answer for, I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I've set up a stored procedure that will email someone if any entries are added to a table . However, the output is garbled looking (see below)
Client Number SSN Client Name Old SD New SD ------------- ----------- ---------------------------------------- -------- -------- 800901 899-34-3482 John Smith 04/20/20 05/01/20 400909 144-23-0029 John Smith 04/09/20 04/11/20 447788 445-89-9967 kjl;j;j 04/05/20 04/12/20 300099 234-90-7815 John Johnson 04/08/20 04/15/20
What's happened is the client name field is too wide, so the New SD field kicks down to the next line. I'd like to clean this up. Is there a way I can either increase the length of the row before it moves to the next line, or can I re-size the client name field to match the size of the data. In other words, cli_name_vc is declared as a varchar(40). If the longest name that comes up in the query is 18 characters long, can I re-size the output so that it does not take up 40 characters?
Using MySQL 5, MySQLQuery (latest). Complete Newbie,
I have the following query:
SELECT i.IndivId, i.Surname, i.First_Names, i.Parents, (SELECT i.Surname FROM individuals i, families f where (i.IndivId = f.father_ID) and (i.indivId = f.Family_ID)) as "father" FROM individuals i where i.Parents>0 order by i.Parents;
It returns nulls for the subselect. There are 2 tables, individuals and Parents. I am trying to use a father id. in the PArents table to cause the individual id. (being the father of the individual(s)) to be named in the father column. I have a feeling I'm going wrong here.
I think the query above is pretty self explanatory!
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.QuotePrice @DateFrom datetime, @DateTo datetime AS declare @days as int declare @price as smallint declare @daycolumn as nvarchar(6)
set @price = 0
set @days = DATEDIFF(day, @DateFrom, @DateTo)
set @daycolumn = 'Day_' + CAST(@days AS nvarchar(2))
set @price = (SELECT @daycolumn FROM pasPriceTable)
return @price GO
Problem is: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Day_10' to a column of data type smallint
How do I set a variable to a result from a query? Thanks, / j0rge
Hi all again,I need an output like :|----|----|----|---|------||row1|row2|row3|...|row(n)||----|----|----|---|------|is possible to create output like that, without querying manuallycause too many dynamic columns in my application.sorry if my question a bit weird cause i'm a newbie in MSSQL.Cheers.
My report has a large number of rows in the details section, This wastes a lot of space. I'd like to spread these rows across multiple columns in the details section of my table.
What i'm currently getting... ---ROW1---------- ---ROW2---------- ---ROW3---------- ---ROW4---------- ---ROW5---------- ---ROW6---------- ---ROW7---------- ---ROW*---------- ---ROW9----------
