Extract Rows With Highest Values In The Columns, MAX Doesn't Work
Jul 20, 2005
From the table i want everything highlighted with a *
I wanted an SQl expression to look at values in Column 1 (ID), look at
the corresponding values in the second column (F1) and select the row
with the highest value, and then if there was more than one row for
that ID with the same value in F1, look at column 3 (F2) and select
the row with the highest value in this column.
I need to write a stored procedure the passes in a fieldname, retrives next key type int data from that field, increments the field, and returns the NextKey.
Would be nice if something like this worked: DECLARE @iNext INT SELECT @iNext = SELECT @columnName FROM Next_Keys WHERE ID = 1 SELECT @iNext = @iNext +1 UPDATE Next_Keys Set @columnName = @iNext WHERE ID = 1 RETURN @iNext

Hello everybody, I can't perform an operation apparently very easy: set a field to a NULL value.
This is the db: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 6)
This is the table: CREATE TABLE [ProgettoTracce] ( [ID_Progetto] [int] NOT NULL , [MisDifDef] [real] NULL , [MisDifMeas] [real] NULL , [MisDifAna] [real] NULL , [MisDifID] [real] NULL , [MisDifCV] [real] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
This is qry: UPDATE ProgettoTracce SET MisDifDef = NULL WHERE ID_Progetto = 3444
The qry has been performed with no error. Then I execute SELECT * FROM ProgettoTracce WHERE ID_Progetto = 3444 and I find the value I tried to overwrite with NULL. If I update with 0 (for example) it works. Obviously this happens on the production db, because on the development db the update with NULL works fine. No transaction is called, db options are the same on dbs...
Hello all,The followinq qurey returns sometimes values of null to some of this columns, byK,byT,byD. the column F wil not contains any nulls, and 0 will be populated in it at any case of .Now, the problem is that when sorting out F the sort will not work when there is null parameters in byK because teh fact that a 0 values is greater then NULL value, and the sort of F will not take in considiration. So I guess the question is how can I sort NULL values and 0 values to be the same weight in the sort by command? SELECT A.gym_id as gym,s_id, week, gym_name, boxer, league, sum(points) points,sum(byK)as byK, sum(byT) as byT,sum(byPoints) as byPoints , sum(byD) as byD, count(C.gym) as F FROM A inner JOIN B ON A.gym_id = B.gym_id left JOIN C ON A.gym_id = C.gym WHERE (B.l_id = ?text group by A.gym_id order by points DESC,byK DESC,byT DESC, byPoints DESC, byD DESC,F ASC
I am writing some functions that work on a time series database of prices, ie volatility, correlation. I need to use the SELECT TOP syntax, but cannot do this with a variable, ie 'SELECT @x TOP * from prices'. My solution is to simply have a function for each potential period that will be looked at - 30day_volatility, 60day_volatility, etc. I looked at setting the ROWCOUNT variable but this is not allowed in functions. I haven't posted any DDL because I think the question is general enough - How do I return n ordered rows from a function without using SELECT TOP, or is there a way to use SELECT TOP with a variable that I am not aware of.
Hello to all, i have a problem with IN-Operator. I cann't resolve it. I hope that somebody can help me. I have a IN_Operator sql query like this, this sql query can work. it means that i can get a result 3418: declare @IDM int; declare @IDO varchar(8000); set @IDM = 3418; set @IDO = '3430' select * from wtcomValidRelationships as A where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 )) but these numbers (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ) come from a select-statement. so if i use select-statement in this query, i get nothing back. this query like this one:select * from wtcomValidRelationships as A where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (select B.RelationshipIDs from wtcomValidRelationships as B where B.IDMember = @IDM)) I have checked that man can use IN-Operator with select-statement. I don't know why it doesn't work with me. Could somebody help me? Thanks I use MS SQL 2005 Server Management Stadio Express Thanks a million and Best regards Sha
Hi there,I would like to know how to get rows with duplicate values in certaincolumns. Let's say I have a table called "Songs" with the followingcolumns:artistalbumtitlegenretrackNow I would like to show the duplicate songs to the user. I considersongs that have the same artist and the same title to be the same song.Note: All columns do not have to be the same.How would I accomplish that with SQL in SQL Server?Thanks to everyone reading this. I hope somebody has an answer. I'vealready searched the whole newsgroups, but couldn't find the solution.

Something like:Acct Total_Dollars Collected Total_Dollars_Due11233 900.00 1000.00Declare @Value as moneyset @Value=GetHighest(Total_Dollars_Collected,TotalDol lars_Due)Print @ValueThis function will return 1000.00 or the Total_dollars_Due??Is there such a creature???
I have basic knowledge of T-SQL and I am using Cursors to get the first value, the last value and the peak value and some other values from other tables. I found some examples on google but the code I am using is mixed up. I am using multiple Cursors. I need to join three tables to get the result set into the Cursor. The first example uses 2 tables.
The above code seems totally inefficient but it gives the correct result. Now I want to pull some more value and join a third table (TABLE z) in the above CURSORS and not sure how to make it working using CURSORS.I would like to use the following in the CURSORS above.
SELECT x.publishdate, y.firstname, y.lastname, y.age, z.initialValue AS FirstValue, z.HighestValue AS Highest, z.LastValue AS Last FROM TABLE x LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE y ON x.id = y.id INNER JOIN TABLE z ON x.id = z.id
I have to import data from a flatfile into our datawarehouse. The supplier of the flat file isn't able to give me a delta, he just gives me a flat files with all the changes on a certain table. So for instance when a row in a table is updated 3 times, I get 3 rows in my flatfile with the 3 updates and I only need the last one. The determine wich record is updated I need to combine 6 columns to be sure if I'm looking at the right row in the source database. Is their a way to accomplish this? I'm pretty new to those advanced SSIS things and I tried to look for a way to do it with conditional splits etc...
I'm pretty new to DTS, so forgive me if this is basic. I created a simple DTS package to run a query and export it to a text file. I can execute the package fine from my workstation through EM, but when I try to execute the job to run the package I get this error: Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied.
I think that maybe SQL Agent doesn't have the right permissions to write to that network drive. What should the permissions be?
This is probably very simple, but I can't get passed this problem.
I have a report in MS Access that uses info generated by a query. One of the text fields in the query contains either the word 'Select' or the name of a course. The report should display a space if the value is 'Select', or the actual value of the field in any other case. The field can never contain a null value.
I've used: =IIf([optVoc1]="Select","",[optVoc1]) in the text box on the report, but this only returns #error regardless of the actual content of the field.
I create and schedule a SQL job to run every minute to update a table base on certain condition but it doesn't work. Job history says successful every time but the table doesn't get updated.
However if I move it to Query Analyzer and run it under dba, it will work. Thinking that it may have to do with the user the job run as, I then change run as user from self to dba. But still SQL job won't update my table.
Anything about user permission or security that I can check? Or it there any other possibility?
When I run the select its fine but I cannot delete..... i have done this many times and it has worked.... I cannot see the error what am i missing
select eqnow.empnumber, eqnow_names.empnumber, eqnow_names.names --delete from eqnow inner join eqnow_names on eqnow.empnumber = eqnow_names.empnumber where eqnow_names.names is null
i get this error Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'inner'.
When I try to install the problem I get the following error.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The log tells me nothing useful. I can't start the thing manually because after clicking cancel on the error message, the installer proceeds to roll back the installation.

I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect" "Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"
To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted). I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.
I wanted to create a new trigger, but Enterprise Manager tells me about an "Incorrect syntax near @UpdatedByID, line 28". I double-checked everything, but it still does not work :mad: .
Any hints :confused: ?
TIA,

Here is the statement (line 28 is marked with ***):
CREATE TRIGGER TransferToABII ON [dbo].[CALGeneral] FOR INSERT AS BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN DECLARE @Event varchar(255), @BBaseUID int, @StartDate smalldatetime, @EndDate smalldatetime, @Details varchar(255), @AddressID int, @ProjectID int, @UpdatedByID int, @ActID int, @EventID int

IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGIN RAISERROR('Error occured',16,1) ROLLBACK TRANSACTION END COMMIT TRANSACTION
I'm combining first name, last name, middle name, and an ID number together into an alias. Then I need to match that alias with a variable passed to the page (its a search results page). The problem is it claims that there is no table with the name of my alias. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
A mockup of the SQL looks like this:
SELECT UserID, Last_Name + ', ' + First_Name + ' ' + Middle_Name + '.' AS name FROM Table WHERE name LIKE 'variable%'
Everything looks right with the results, if I take out the WHERE clause it has name displayed properly and joined together with the rest of the data in the results properly.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!

I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
Hello, I've rescued a MDF and LDF files off a client's old server, and I wanted to attach it to our own, but I can't seem to get the command to work, basically I have these two files, which I've dropped on our server:
So when I do a SP_ATTACH_SINGLE_FILE_DB 'somedb','C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMYCLIENTNAME_Data.MDF'
It says the LDF path my be incorrect, and that there's two other files that are missing: MYCLIENTNAME_LOG (no extension) extra_log (no extension)
I thought the whole point of the command is that you only need a single file? Its very hard to go back to the client's old server and try to find these two files, and it doesn't really matter if we loose a bit of data, so long as the bulk of it is available.
Update: I think I've found the answer...its not possible to do this, it really needs all the log files. Any workarounds?
