Example SQL Syntax To Select Data And Divide
May 7, 2007
I'm trying to help out a beginning DBA and come up with a SQL query. Here is the information I've been given so far.
"I have a SQL database (TEST1_new) with several tables. I need to have some values updated in one of the tables HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1). I need the value that exists in the QTY_SHIPPED field to be divided by 250. I also need to include a WHERE statement for the PLANNED_SHIP_DATE greater than 11/15/2004 and a CATALOG_NO =18053185292 or 18053185285.
Basically, what I need to do is take the value for QTY_SHIPPED for Catalog_NO 18053185285 & 18053185282 and divide the result by 250"
After reading through her statement above about 10 times and guessing a bit, here's what I was able to come up with. I'm sure the syntax is not correct but maybe it's close to being what's needed?
INSERT INTO HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1()
(SELECT dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB.QTY_SHIPPED LIMIT 1) /250),PLANNED_SHIP_DATE from dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB
WHERE CATALOG_NO = ‘18053185292’
OR CATALOG_NO= ‘18053185285’
AND PLANNED_SHIP_DATE > ‘11/15/2004’;
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Chris.

Hi, Experts,
I have a data table from a old system.
There are 10 data fields stored in one row at this table.
How can I seperate those fields into another table to be 10 rows?
Any component in Data Flow can I use?(I have tried several component...)
by the way,
the original table is a large table, contain 3,000,000 rows.
Thanks for your all assistance.

I get this error "Operand data type varchar is invalid for divide operator".
select V.[Parent Name],
[ID],
round((V.SoftValue/VTMValue)*100,0) 'SPercentage',
round((V.HMUValue/VTMValue)*100,0) 'HPercentage2',
round((V.PrimaryValue/VTMValue)*100,0) 'PPercentage2'
[code]...
I have even converted the values to float.

In a select statement select_list, if one of the columns in the result set is NULL, I need to substitute a constant value else I want to return the value in the column. Would I use an IF_THEN_ELSE or CASE expression and how would that look?
Thanks,

Hi,everyone.
Today I met with a interesting problem. According to Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 BOOKS ONLINE, there is following SELECT Syntax:
(1) SELECT @local_variable (Transact-SQL)
For example:
DECLARE @i int
SELECt @i=100
(2) SELECt QUERY statement:
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT ]
[ TOP expression [ PERCENT ] [ WITH TIES ] ]
<select_list>
<select_list> ::=
.....
For example,
[AdventureWorks]
SELECT * FROM DatabaseLog
To my surprise, in the given project, I met this kind of SELECT statement,
DECLARE @w_type varchar(10), @i varchar(30)
SELECT @i='3'
SELECT @w_type='OLTPNORMAL' WHERE @i IN ('0','1','2','3','4','5','9',)
SELECT @w_type
The result is:
OLTPNORMAL
However, I have not met with the kind of SELECT statement before. Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

I need to use IF-THEN in a SQL Select statement. Using Google
I have found a couple of obscure references to this but nothing that I
can use. Tried various combinations without luck. Can
anyone point me to a good resource or supply a simple example of proper
syntax? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I have the following statement that I am trying to convert to a "like" statement in a SqlDataSource for a web application. I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Would someone be able to assist with this? Thanks!
SELECT * FROM [Employees] WHERE ([LName] = @LName) ORDER BY [LName], [FName]
Something like below.
SELECT * FROM [Employees] WHERE ([LName] LIKE '@LName%') ORDER BY [LName], [FName]

I am having trouble with this statement. I am returning multiple rows because I am doing the select statement within the loop. I need to keep the loop somehow because of the where clause of the select statement:
'AND @start not in (select sh_istart from casemas where sh_istart in (select sh_istop from casemas where sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)))
and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop'
Is there anyway that I can maintain the ability to use the loop but not do mutiple select statements like below:
Also I'm trying really hard not to use temp tables in this example
Result from select statement below
sh_serial
-----------
53565
53597
sh_serial
-----------
53565
53597
sh_serial
-----------
sh_serial
-----------
53588
53597
Desired results:
sh_serial
-----------
53588
53597
53565
Syntax:
declare @start int
select @start = 580
declare @stop int
select @stop = 900
while @start <= @stop
begin
select sh_serial,
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and (sh_serial <> 600000)
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)
and sh_serial in
(select distinct sh_serial
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)
AND @start not in (select sh_istart from casemas where sh_istart in (select sh_istop from casemas where sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)))
and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop
group by sh_serial
having (sum(schi_qty) + 1 < 4 ))
select @start = @start + 1
end
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! :o

Hi,
I looked up select case statements and have used them for returning single values, but can't seem to get it working when returning a select statement..
I have my SPROC configured as below, can anyone help me out as to why its not working?
btw previously I had been using something like below, but in this case it wont work as I have to make more changes than just the WHERE genderID = @genderID (hmm, hopefully that makes sense, if not ignore my example lol)
IF @genderID > 2
..
ELSE
........WHERE genderID = @genderID
thanks very much once again!
mike123
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[select_123]
(
@genderID tinyint
)
AS SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT
CASE @genderID
WHEN 1 THEN
SELECT TOP 40 *
FROM tbl
WHERE .......
WHEN 2 THEN
SELECT TOP 40 *
FROM tbl
WHERE .......
ELSE
SELECT TOP 40 *
FROM tbl
WHERE .......
END

Hi,
Simple question:
Is there any way to write this in a shorter form:
SELECT fcol like 'X' or fcol like 'Y' or fcol like 'Z'
Maybe something like (which I know it won't work but just to give you an idea what I am looking for)
SELECT fcol like ('X' or 'Y' or 'Z')
I know of this (Full query), but it doesn't work with WILD card characters
select ftype
from engecnentries
where ftype in ('%cone%','%basin%')
any ideas?

I have a table that has unit id, date, time, etc. I would like to select each unit id with the last date it has in the table. The result should have each unit listed once with the latest date in the table.
For Example:
unit id Date Time
00100 01/12/2007 8:00
00100 01/12/2007 8:45
00200 01/12/2007 8:50
00100 01/13/2007 13:30
00300 01/13/2007 13:45
00100 01/14/2007 11:00
00200 01/14/2007 11:30
the result should be:
00100 01/14/2007 11:00
00200 01/14/2007 11:30
00300 01/13/2007 13:45

FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY DateAdded) AS rownum, * FROM Videos) AS T1 WHERE rownum <=5the query runs just fine. Also if I run the query that is NOT bold (above), it also runs fine. What can I do to run them both together as seen above? Thank in advance,Louis

Have a need to scan a large table to see if a set of criteria have ever been met.
If/when the scan hits its first record meeting the criteria, the scan can be abandoned.
Is there some syntax/option that accomplishes this?
Right now, I am doing a SELECT with criteria against the table and the @@ROWCOUNT gives me a zero, or non-zero value.
But that methodology means that the SELECT has to execute against the entirety of the table.
I'd like to abandon the SELECT as soon as it detects a first record meeting the criteria.

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. If not I apologize. I have a nested select query that I imported from Oracle:
Oracle Version:
Code Snippetselect avg(days) as days from (
select dm_number, max(dm_closedate) - max(comment_closed_date) as days from dm_data
where
dm_type = 'prime' and
dm_closedate <= '31-dec-2007' and
dm_closedate >= '1-dec-2007' and
program = 'aads'
group by dm_number)
SQL Version:
select round(abs(avg(days)), 0) as days from
(select dm.dm_number, abs(datediff(DAY,max(dm.dm_closedate), max(dm.comment_closed_date))) as days
from dm_data dm, ProgramXref px
where
px.Program_Name = 'aads'
and dm.Program_Id = px.Program_Id
and dm.dm_type = 'prime'
and dm.dm_closedate <= '31-dec-2007'
and dm.dm_closedate >= '1-dec-2007'
group by dm.dm_number)
In Oracle the query runs fine. In SQL I am getting a "Line 10: Incorrect syntax near ')'." error. If I run just the nested portion of the query, there are no errors. It only happens when the first query tries to query the nested query. Can anyone help me get the syntax correct?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi,
Im fairly new to writing stored procudures so I thought you lot might be able to help with this problem.
I have a stored procudure which looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
(
@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
)
AS
DECLARE @idAgency INT
SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
GO
It basically first declare's and sets @idAgency using the first small select statment, then uses that parameter to run two more selects queries which I want sending to a dataset. Now within the Query Analyzer this works fine. But in my asp.net page it trows up this error:
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'spAdminAgencyActivate_Select'
Now the code im using in the asp.net page is as follows:
Dim objSqlConnection as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strCon"))
Dim objSqlCommand_Select as New SqlCommand("spAdminAgencyActivate_Select", objSqlConnection)
objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@strAgencyId", SqlDbType.Char, 6))
objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters("@strAgencyId").Value = "tes001"
Dim objSqlDataAdapter as New SqlDataAdapter(objSqlCommand_Select)
Dim dsActivateAgency as New DataSet()
objSqlConnection.Open()
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table", "tblBranches")
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table1", "tblUsers")
objSqlDataAdapter.Fill(dsActivateAgency)
objSqlConnection.Close()
Can anyone help? I believe the error is in the stored procedure somewhere, because if I change the stored procedure so no parameters are being passed to it then it starts working. This is what I comment out and change for it to to get it working, but obviously this is not satisfactory as a final result because the parameter is hard coded in the stored procedure. Im just showing this to see if it gives anyone a clue!!
CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
--(
--@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
--)
AS
--DECLARE @idAgency INT
--SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1
GO
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Good day!
I just can't figure out how I can display only the top record for the duplicate records in my table.
Example:
Table1
Code Date
01 10/1/05
01 10/2/05
01 10/3/05
02 9/9/05
02 9/9/05
02 9/10/05
My desired result would be:
Table1
Code Date
