Error In Using Alias Column Name As Function Parameter
May 16, 2012
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?
I REALLY need to perform a JOIN and a GROUP BY on a CASE function column alias, but I'm receiving an "Invalid column name" error when attempting to run the query. Here's a snippet:
SELECT NewColumn= CASE WHEN Table1.Name LIKE '%FOO%' THEN 'FOO TOO' END, Table2.SelectCol2 FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON NewColumn = Table2.ColumnName GROUP BY NewColumn, Table2.SelectCol2 ORDER BY Table2.SelectCol2
ALTER procedure [dbo].[MyPro](@StartRowIndex int,@MaximumRows int) As Begin Declare @Sel Nvarchar(2000)set @Sel=N'Select *,Row_number() over(order by myId) as ROWNUM from MyFirstTable Where ROWNUM Between ' + convert(nvarchar(15),@StartRowIndex) + ' and ('+ convert(nvarchar(15),@StartRowIndex) + '+' + convert(nvarchar(15),@MaximumRows) + ')-1' print @Sel Exec Sp_executesql @Sel End
--Execute Mypro 1,4 --->>Here I Executed Error Select *,Row_number() over(order by myId) as ROWNUM from MyFirstTable Where ROWNUM Between 1 and (1+4)-1 Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'ROWNUM'. Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'ROWNUM Procedure successfully created but giving error while Excuting'. Please anybody give reply Thanks
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
How can do this. Because my stored function contains same clause except colums name.So I want to use column name as a parameter but how can send column name and use it like Sum(parameter) function .
my procedure like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ORNEK10]
@YIL VARCHAR(4),
@TEKLIF_TURU VARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @N1 FLOAT
DECLARE @N2 FLOAT
SET @N1 = ( SELECT DEGERI FROM PARAMETRE WHERE PARAMETRE_ADI='N1')
SET @N2 = ( SELECT DEGERI FROM PARAMETRE WHERE PARAMETRE_ADI='N2')
SET NOCOUNT ON;
--I want to avoid using if statements for Sum() function
IF(@TEKLIF_TURU='BASKAN_TEKLIF')
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4, dbo.ORNEK10AD(KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4) AS ACIKLAMA,
SUM(BASKAN_TEKLIF) AS YILI,
((100+@N1)*SUM(BASKAN_TEKLIF))/100 AS YIL1,
((100+@N1)*(100+@N2)*SUM(BASKAN_TEKLIF))/10000 AS YIL2
FROM GELIR AS G WHERE YIL = @YIL GROUP BY KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4 WITH ROLLUP
ORDER BY KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4
IF(@TEKLIF_TURU='ENCUMEN_TEKLIF')
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4, dbo.ORNEK10AD(KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4) AS ACIKLAMA,
SUM(ENCUMEN_TEKLIF) AS YILI,
((100+@N1)*SUM(ENCUMEN_TEKLIF))/100 AS YIL1,
((100+@N1)*(100+@N2)*SUM(ENCUMEN_TEKLIF))/10000 AS YIL2
FROM GELIR AS G WHERE YIL = @YIL GROUP BY KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4 WITH ROLLUP
ORDER BY KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4
IF(@TEKLIF_TURU='MECLIS_TEKLIF')
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4, dbo.ORNEK10AD(KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4) AS ACIKLAMA,
SUM(MECLIS_TEKLIF) AS YILI,
((100+@N1)*SUM(MECLIS_TEKLIF))/100 AS YIL1,
((100+@N1)*(100+@N2)*SUM(MECLIS_TEKLIF))/10000 AS YIL2
FROM GELIR AS G WHERE YIL = @YIL GROUP BY KOD1, KOD2, KOD3, KOD4 WITH ROLLUP
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure: ************** ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime as begin DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = '' --// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],' FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team --// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1) --// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list --// of dates for the columns EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' ) end ************
I can call the function: exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Maybe I am missing something completely obvious but as far as I can tell I aren't!
I am trying to simply pass a parameter to a stored proc to return results. Easy? So I thought so too...
This is my stored procedure below (in it's ALTER PROCEDURE form):
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spd_Tester]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@Check int
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM tblPerson
WHERE PersonID = @Check
END
Now I know this is a SQL Server forum but I figure anyone who reads this probably does some application programming as well, so here is the code that calls this. It's in VBA using Access 2003. I figure the error is being returned from SQL Server Express so that's why I have come to this forum instead of an Access forum! I could be wrong though...
Here is the code that calls this:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
'Run sql command With cmd .ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
Now I figure this should work. However, I get the error "Procedure or function 'spd_Tester' expects parameter '@Check', which was not supplied." when I execute the procedure with the number 1 in the txtFirstName text box.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?? The tblPerson table has data in it, if I run the select from a query window, specifying a value for @Check, it works just fine.
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.

Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN __CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')] GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie')) ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error: "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader) If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
I am trying to create a column chart that calculates the percentage of computers in our IT environment that are Actively communicating to our SCCM Server.
I have two datasets:
1. Total_Count_Of_AD_PC DataSet.
2. PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Basically i wan to calculate the percentage for each Region (i.e. AP for Asia Pacific, EMEA, Americas).
Below is the Total_Count_Of_AD_PC Dataset screenshot.
Below is the PC_With_Active_SCCM_Clients dataset.
Below is the expression that i used that is causing the error.
The Y expression for the chart ‘Chart2’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.
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"
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 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:
INSERT INTO [tbl_sap-staffel] ( ItemCode, CardCode, [Amount-0], [Price-0], [Amount-1], [Price-1], [Amount-2], [Price-2] ) SELECT [qry_sap-spp-0].ItemCode, [qry_sap-spp-0].CardCode, [qry_sap-spp-0].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-0].Price, [qry_sap-spp-1].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-1].Price, [qry_sap-spp-2].Amount, [qry_sap-spp-2].Price FROM ([qry_sap-spp-0] LEFT JOIN [qry_sap-spp-1] ON ([qry_sap-spp-0].ItemCode = [qry_sap-spp-1].ItemCode) AND ([qry_sap-spp-0].CardCode = [qry_sap-spp-1].CardCode)) LEFT JOIN [qry_sap-spp-2] ON ([qry_sap-spp-1].ItemCode = [qry_sap-spp-2].ItemCode) AND ([qry_sap-spp-1].CardCode = [qry_sap-spp-2].CardCode);

I have a copy of class schedules with only students that are taking half of a full year class in a separate table. The table lists the term that the students are taking so I joined that table to the actual class schedule table via the code below. The values are 1 & 2 and if it's null (not taking half of a full year class) it's a 9. So now I only need 9s and 2s to bell pulled from the script below. How do I go about doing that since HLF_Term is not a real column?
I have a program that connects to SQLServer 2000 through ADO connection.
the program executes the following query:
SELECT ax.AccNo, (SELECT Accounts.ProductCode FROM Accounts WHERE h.ID=Accounts.ID) As Product FROM dbo.History h LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.AccXRef ax ON h.ID= ax.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.States ON h.[HistoryItemsub-Type] = dbo.States.Type LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CustXRef cx ON h.CustomerNo = cx.CustomerNo WHERE HistoryItemDate <= getdate() ORDER BY HistoryItemDate ASC
This query works in th program and in Query Analyer on my machine. However, On a different Machine (and different SQLServer) the query works in Query Analyser but does not work in the program, the following exception is thrown:
The column prefix 'h' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query
I want to create column name dynamically in select list.
create table #temp(name varchar(10), sale int) insert into #temp values('john',1000) insert into #temp values('Mike',500) insert into #temp values('Abhas',200) select name,sale as sale from #temp
Now i want change column alias only , not value. I need to concatenate sale with year value of getdate(). i.e. column header concatenation only, not a output value.
