Hi
I want to find 3 different columns maximum values in one shot. Like I tried to use a reader to go through results but it kept coming back with index out of bounds. Right now to get it to work I got to use a ExecuteScalar() get the first columns max value and then open the connection again(since it seems after ExecuteScalar() it closes the connection) and then do the ExecuteScalar() again. Open the connection again and do the ExecuteScalar() again.
Theres got to be a better way of doing this.
I have a situation in SSRS to get the common values between the two columns where the values are sorted comma separated as below.Ex:
ColumnA :  abc,cde,efg   ColumnB : cde,xyz,abc  Â
the result in  Â
ColumnC : cde,abc
similarly Column A and B will have n number records. I need to right an expression or the Code function to get the required result in ColumnC. I am using SharePoint Lists as Datasource. Cannot write SQL query to achieve this requirement.
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'
it is my first post on this forum, please be patient if i miss any important bit of information.
i am transporting data from a legacy system into mssql 2k5 using SSIS. among those column of a dataset there are 13 columns, all necessary for operational reasons, that i need to ensure data consistance.
i believe i could do this check using the lookup data flow item, but surely there must be a way to do it in a more streamlined fashion.
since column names contain numbers to distinguish the version, eg; col01, col02, col03 .. col13.
i thought i could include the lookup within a loop and use a couple of variables to do this trick, but since i have not done it before i am asking for some sort of guidance from a guru among you folks.
please let me know if further clarification is necessary.
In every database we have 'sysobjects' table storing names of all objects(including all keys) in our data base. How can I find all columns, that the key is made of? Sorry about my english :-/
I have written this script: What I want to do now is, with the new JOINED table find and display all the duplicates custID WHERE the price is either 100 OR 200. Can anyone help? I am very new to all this and can't see how to do it. Thanks!
SELECT * FROM table_customer T1 INNER JOIN table_itemsBought T2 ON T2.custID = T1.custID WHERE price = '100' OR price = '200';
I have a column called firstname ..in that it stores value like this
john smith andrew jr jim sr andrew bar tina *^ don $%
I need to retrieve all those rows where name consists of non alphabets...for example 5 and 6 has non alphabets..
I am using PATINDEX('%[^a-z]%',Firstname) function but if it finds space between names it is considering as error..I would like to find only non alphabets in name ..space is fine..is there any function to find out?
I have an application that I inherited, and I have a annoying problem. We're using stored procedures to return most of our data, and occasionally we receive errors stating that a particular column cannot be found in the resulting data table. When I run the stored procedure against SQL Server I receive the expected output. What would make this random act happen, any ideas? Also, I keep receiving errors stating that a connection is already open and needs to be closed before an action to the database is performed. I'm explicitly closing each connection in a finally block for every method in my data access code, so a connection should always be closed, right?
TableName: EmployeeCloumns: EmployeeID EmployeeName If I do "Select * From Employee", is there a way to do something like this... Loop through each result IterateThroughControls.ID &= dbTable & dbColumnName & "<br />"EndSo that the end result would assign ID values...EmployeeEmployeeIDEmployeeEmployeeName
I need to create an function similar to the "MATCH" function in Excelthat evaluates a number within a set of numbers and returns whetherthere is a match. I have put the example of what I see in excel in thecheck column. The "0" answer in the result column is in the fourthaccount in the list. Somehow I need to loop through the accountscomparing the result to the total and indicate a match in the checkcolumn. It wouldn't even need to tell me the row number; it could be a0 or 1.account total result check123770266.84124.2112377026131.050 412377026164.38-33.33123770260131.051237702678.7152.3412377167-31.34221.891237716731.34159.211237716738.55152 51237716731.34159.211237716715238.5512377167490.91-300.36123771670190.55123771670190.5512377167-31.3443.341237716731.34-19.341237716738.55-26.551237716731.34-19.3412377167152-14012377167490.91-478.9112377167012123771670121237736347.058412377363131.05012377363-45.38176.4312377363-47.05178.11237736347.0484.0112377363-47.04178.091237736347.058412377363541.11-410.06123773630131.0512377363672.15-541.11237750737.64152.91
I am having trouble trying to find the max of 2 columns in one table. I've tried using a common table expression and a subquery, but can't seem to get the correct results. I want to get the max from refnum, then the max "number" associated with that max refnum along with the date and decision
We are trying to find out the difference between tables in CUSTOMER database and CUSTOMER_coded database. The goal is to find out if there are any columns missing in each table of CUSTOMER_coded database.
We need the list of tables in CUSTOMER_coded database that misses some column compare to its peer in CUSTOMER database (list of columns being missing also).
I googled, but I get only all the columns in tables of database.
I need missing columns of all the tables when we compare these 2 databases( CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER_coded databases).
I am trying to merge records with a stored procedure and I am getting a constraint violation error. Just wondering is there a way of finding out which records are the actual culprit?
This would help greatly in being able to troubleshoot this issue.
The error is this:
2/21/2008 12:40:39 PM :: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'SK_SomeConstraint'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'tblTable'. The statement has been terminated.
The constraint is a group of clustered indexes that must be unique:
I have a field which is currently of the "date time" data type. i want to convert it to smalldatetime, but everytime I try, i get an error of the "The conversion from datetime data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in a smalldatetime overflow error. " sort.
I have tried to find the values which are out of the smalldatetime range, with the following query
SELECT *
FROM midmar
WHERE bday BETWEEN '01/01/1900' AND '06/05/2079'
Which doesn't quite work, and gives me values that are actually between those two values listed.
I have also tried having the WHERE clause read:
WHERE bday <'06/06/2079' AND
bday>'01/01/1900'
and that doesn't really work either.
What's going on? Is there likely another problem besides the structuring of my queries?
f_namef_countryf_ID ABCUS123 DEFGB123 ABCUS456 GHIGB789 etc.
I need to run a query to discover all instances where a f_name and f_country pair exists for more than one f_ID. ABC/US is one such example; IDs 123 and 456 have this pair.
