Hi,I got 'Invalid Column Name NewCol1' when I query the following:Select col1, col2, (some calculation from the fields) as NewCol1,(some calculation from the fields) as NewCol2,NewCol1 = NewCol2 fromTable1 inner join Table2 inner join Table3....Where.....Basically, I want to find out if NewCol1 = NewCol2 after thecalculationAny advice?Thanks in advance. Your help would be greatly appreciated.Wanda
I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
I am working on migrating view from Ms Access to SQL server. I got a query and modified it by removing IIF by CASE WHEN. I landed into following query:
Code: SELECT CASE WHEN <CONDITION> THEN DATEADD(YYYY,YR1,DATEADD(D,DAY1,TXNDATE)) ELSE 0 END AS CurrentDateAdj, Year(CurrentDateAdj) + '_' + 'some text and processing') FROM INCREMENTDATATABLE;
Here DAY1 and YR1 are from INCREMENTDATATABLE.
I am getting error that CurrentDateAdj not found. How can I fix this?
Using SQL Server 2000. How can I refer to one alias in another column?E.g., (this a contrived example but you get the idea)SELECT time, distance, (distance / time) AS speed, (speed / time) AS acceleration FROM dataNote how the speed alias is used in the definition of acceleration alias but this doesn't seem to work.
Can someone please answer a problem that I've run into. I know that it's probably something stupid. I keep getting this error:Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The column prefix 'vFirstTimeEntered' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.Here is my query:-----------------------------------------------------------------Update TimeSheetSectionSet TimesheetSection.SECSTARTDT = vFirstTimeEntered.schlstuidWhere timesheetsection.schlstuid = vFirstTimeEntered.schlstuid AND timesheetsection.sectionid = vFirstTimeEntered.sectionid AND Timesheetsection.secstartdt < '2005-08-01'------------------------------------------------------------------vFirstTimeEntered is a view that I created.Do I need a sub query? I know that if this was a select query I'd need to put vFirstTimeEntered in the FROM part but I don't know where it should go here.Thanks for any assistance.Scott
This is my syntax, I have removed then added back line by line by line and determined it is the insert of the variable into the table that skews.
Code: Create Table #Table1 (ID Int Identity, p nvarchar(20)) Create Table #Table2 (date datetime, salesID int, p varchar(20)) Insert into #Table1 Values ('ZeroWireless') Declare @Str nvarchar(4000), @p nvarchar(20) Select @p = p From #Table1
While I'm sure I'm missing something very stupid here.... I cannot get this sproc to run successfully. I get "Error 207: Invalid Column Name tbl_images.imgID". Yes that column exists in that table, and it's case is exactly the same as what I have in the select text.
I'm baffled, any help would be great thanx!
CREATE PROCEDURE spImagesbyCategory @categoryID varchar AS
FROM tbl_products LEFT JOIN (SELECT catalogID, MIN(imgFileName) AS imgFileName FROM tbl_images GROUP BY catalogID) tbl_images ON tbl_products.catalogID = tbl_images.catalogID WHERE tbl_products.categoryid Like '%' + @categoryid + '%'
Having some trouble with a Database email system I created. The system consists of two tables, DATA_ELEMENT and EMAIL_MESSAGE. So the email message body and recipient fields may contain substitution macros such as {![CUST_EMAIL]!}. The CUST_EMAIL data element row then stores the SELECT, FROM and WHERE clauses separately. There is a stored proc to search the message body and recipients for these substitution macros and replace them with the appropriate values from the DB.
The system is working well except I have one particular substitution macro called VENUE_NAME_BY_PPPID which is causing a problem.
Quote: Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 3 Invalid column name 'PARTNER_PRODUCT_PRIZE_ID'.
And here's the query which is creates this error (without the escaped single quotes):
Code:
SELECT P.PARTNER_NAME + ISNULL(' - ' + PS.SITE_NAME, '') FROM PARTNER_PRODUCT_PRIZE PPP JOIN PARTNER_PRIZE PP ON PP.PARTNER_PRIZE_ID = PPP.PARTNER_PRIZE_ID JOIN PARTNER P ON P.PARTNER_ID = PP.PARTNER_ID LEFT JOIN PARTNER_SITE PS ON PS.PARTNER_ID = PP.PARTNER_ID AND PS.PARTNER_SITE_ID = PP.PARTNER_SITE_ID WHERE PPP.PARTNER_PRODUCT_PRIZE_ID = '19'
And just after this print statement, the query is executed with sp_executesql()
Any advice is greatly appreciated as this query runs fine when I execute from the query window. However, if I escape all the necessary quotes, I can't get it to run when I put the string inside of sp_executesql().
I'm working in SQL2000 sp4. I've built a simple database to take snapshots from three ERPSs that contain related data and then analyse them to look for non-conforming records (items that are flagged differently between two systems, cost conversion errors, etc). The DTS packages all work fine, and suck the records out of the main systems without a problem.
For info, the DTS packages all work in the same way: Purge a holding table Connect to the source ERPS Populate the holding table via a SELECT statement Invoke a stored proc to make the required changes in the main table
Similarly, the stored procs all work in the same way: Add records from the holding table to the main table that aren't already there.
Update any records common to both: If there's a record date field, have been updated in the holding table more recently. Otherwise, match on key fields and differ on detail fields. Delete records from the main table that aren't in the holding table
The trouble started when I modified two of the tables to include the data that the record was last amended in the source ERPS. When I tried to incorporate this new column into the relevant stored proc, performing a syntax check resulted in error 207 - invalid column name.
I did some checking, and found out that stored procs tend to rely on what the table looked like when the proc was created, rather than what it now looks like. Accordingly, I tried creating a new proc. I got the same result. What have I missed?
I have a stored procedure that I am using to convert tables to a new format for a project. The project requires new tables, new fields in existing tables, dropping fields in existing tables and dropping an existing table. The SP takes care of doing all this and copying the data from the tables that are going to be dropped to the correct places. Everything is working fine except for one table and I can't figure out why.
For this particular table, it already exists in the database and has new fields added to it. Then I try and update those fields with values from another table. This is where I am getting the Invalid column name error (line is highlighted in red). If I comment out the code where the error is occurring and run the update alone everything works fine so I know the Update statement works.
Here is the specific error message I am getting in SQL Server 2005:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 85 Invalid column name 'AssignedAgent'. Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 85 Invalid column name 'DateTimeAssigned'.
Here is the SP: -
IF OBJECT_ID('ConvertProofTables','P') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE ConvertProofTables; GO CREATE PROCEDURE ConvertProofTables AS SET ANSI_NULLS ON
I'm having trouble with cube processing. While processing a code I'm getting a "Invalid column name MessageType" error.
I unfolded the cube, then I opened "measure groups", my failing dimension (ServiceRequestDim) and the partition.
In the partition I opened the "Source" attribute so it now includes my column which was missing. But it didn't solve the issue.
If I get the query used during the process I'm getting this :
SELECT DISTINCT [ServiceRequestDim].[MessageType] AS [ServiceRequestDimMessageType0_0] FROM ( Select IsNull(IsDeleted, 0) as IsDeleted, [ServiceRequestDimKey], IsNull([Status_ServiceRequestStatusId], 0) as [Status_ServiceRequestStatusId],[Status],IsNull([TemplateId_ServiceRequestTemplateId], 0) as
[Code] ....
In the nested query which defines ServiceRequestDim the messagetype attribute is still missing. In my source datamart the ServiceRequestDim has the "MessageType" column.
So the question is where do I change the nested request that the dim process use to reflect the actual columns in my datamart .
when i tried to run a DTS which transfer bulk data between 2 SQL servers, i got following error message: ================================================== ============ Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 4815 (12CF) Error string: Received invalid column length from bcp client. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0 ================================================== ===========
if anybody has encounter the same problem before? after testing, i think it's must related with network traffic problem. but i can not figure out how to solve it.
I try to import data with bulk insert. Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE [data].[example]( col1 [varchar](10) NOT NULL, col2 [datetime] NOT NULL, col3 [date] NOT NULL, col4 [varchar](6) NOT NULL, col5 [varchar](3) NOT NULL,
The first column should store double (in col2 and col3) in my table
My file: Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7 2015-04-30@|@MDDS@|@ADP@|@EUR@|@185.630624@|@2015-04-30@|@MDDS 2015-04-30@|@MDDS@|@AED@|@EUR@|@4.107276@|@2015-04-30@|@MDDS
My command: bulk insert data.example from 'R:epoolexample.csv' WITH(FORMATFILE = 'R:cfgexample.fmt' , FIRSTROW = 2)
Get error: Msg 4823, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Cannot bulk load. Invalid column number in the format file "R:cfgexample.fmt".
I changed some things as: used ";" and "," as column delimiter changed file type from UNIX to DOS and adjusted the format file with " " for row delimiter
Removed this line from format file 1 SQLCHAR 0 10 "@|@" 2 Col2 "" Nothing works ....
I was wondering if there is a way that you can set the alias name of a column to a value that resides in another table instead of the alias being a static value that you type in.
If anyone has any ideas on ho i can accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and are having some troubble with sorting a paged result set. I'm using the OVER Clause to achieve the sorting and paging and have the following query:1 WITH ProjectList AS 2 ( 3 SELECT 4 Id, 5 Name, 6 Created, 7 (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM UserProjects WHERE ProjectId = p.Id) AS NumberOfUsers, 8 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) AS 'RowNumber' 9 FROM Projects p 10 ) 11 SELECT * 12 FROM ProjectList 13 WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60;
This works fine, and give me the results i want. The problem occurs when I want to sort by "NumberOfUsers" which is the results of a sub query.When i say "ORDER BY NumberOfUsers" instead of Id on line 8, I get the following error: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 10Invalid column name 'NumberOfUsers'. I read this in the documentation: When used in the context of a ranking window function, <ORDER BY Clause> can only refer to columns made available by the FROM clause. An integer cannot be specified to represent the position of the name or alias of a column in the select list. <ORDER BY Clause> cannot be used with aggregate window functions. So this means that what I'm trying to do is not possible. How can I then sort by NumberOfUsers? Is there any other way to achieve this
Hi All, I am currently transferring my Access application to SQL Server. Access allows you to declare and use aliases in the query at the same time.
e.g. Select field1 as Alias1, field2 as Alias2, Alias1 & " " & Alias2 as Alias3 from table1;
In Access the above query will execute perfectly, no problem. However in SQL Server, if you try to run the same query it will give an error "Invalid column name Alias1" meaning that SQL Server is searching for Alias1 as a field in the table, not as an alias from the query.
My question is does SQL Server have a facility to declare and use alias directly as in Access and if no, is there a workaround?
Is there a way to use a column alias in an another calculation within thesame query? Since I am using some long and complex logic to compute total1and total2, I don't want to repeat the same logic to compute the ratio ofthose two columns. I know that I can do a nested query, but that seems toolengthy as well since I actually have many, many columns.selecttotal1 = sum(case(long complex logic)),total2 = sum(case(another long complex logic)),ratio = total1/total2
What I need to do is to create 3 columns with 3 different aliases from the same table that will return all the values during the following conditions:
when pricelist = 1
when pricelist = 2
when pricelist = 3
pricelist -------- 1 2 3
Price -------- 912 -- (linked with 1) 234 -- (linked with 3) 56 -- (linked with 2) 3245 -- (linked with 3) 234 -- (linked with 1) 65 -- (linked with 2)
these 2 columns are in the same table^^
so what i want my query to generate is:
Price1 -------- 912 234
Price2 -------- 56 65
Price3 -------- 234 3245
Any help is apprecieated, thanks
if the above does not make sense to you maybe this will: "can you make 3 aliases of the same column and only display the rows inside each column where pricelist = 1 for the 1st alias... where price = 2 for the 2nd alias...where pricelist = 3 for the 3rd alias"
I have a form that loads a dataset. This dataset is composed from SQL statements using alias and unions. Basically it takes uses data from 3 tables. This dataset also has a alias column called ClientName that consists of either people's name or business name.In addition, the form also consist of a search field that allows user to enter the 'ClientName' to be searched (i.e. to search the alias column). So, my question is how can the alias column be searched (user can also enter % in the search field)Function QueryByService(ByVal searchClientNameText As String) As System.Data.DataSet If InStr(Trim(searchClientNameText), "%")>0 Then searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName LIKE '" & searchClientNameText & "'"Else searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName = @searchClientNameText"End If Dim queryString As String = "SELECT RTrim([People].[Given_Name])"& _"+ ' ' + RTrim([People].[Family_Name]) AS ClientName, [Event].[NumEvents],"& _"[Event].[Event_Ref]"& _"FROM [Event] INNER JOIN [People] ON [Event].[APP_Person_ID] = [People].[APP_Person_ID]"& _searchStatement + " "& _"UNION SELECT [Bus].[Organisation_Name],"& _"[Event].[NumEvents], [Event].[Event_Ref]"& _"FROM [Bus] INNER JOIN [Event] ON [Bus].[APP_Organisation_ID] = [Event].[APP_Organisation_ID] "& _searchStatement ..........End Function
I have an Access database, that is in connection with sql server. On my computer with access2007 i have no problems with viewing tables and stuff.
But on other computers with access2003 it gives an error when i use this query:
