I want to be able to use a query to display all the records in the 6.5 database that have no data in the STATUS field. This is the query I thought would work....."SELECT * from travel_date WHERE status="''"
But, that is not working. Can someone please help me figure out the right way to wrtie this?
I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits. The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
option 1 I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
Hi everyone , i am trying to find logins which has blank password in SQL2000 . i wrote cursor to find these logins. But i cannot catch the logins.Beacuse sp_password sistem procedure does not return @@ERROR.
I can easily do it with SQL2005 (BEGIN -TRY -CATCH).
How can i catch sp_password error in SQL Server 2000?? or are there any suggestions to find these logins. How can i find blank password logins in SQL2000???
Hi:I have written a SQL statement that accepts a letter and then prints out all the records in a table starting with that letter. I was wondering if there is a way that I could change the query so that if prints out all records if a blank or empty value is passed in?Here's my query: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetMediaListByFirstLetter] ( @firstLetter char(1))AS SELECT Media_ID, OrgName FROM Media WHERE UPPER(SUBSTRING(Media.OrgName,1,1)) = @firstLetterAny help doing this would be greatly appreciated.Roger
We imported approximately 2.9 million records from our mainframe server into our SQL Server but have run into a problem. The data in a few of the fields contains both leading and trailing spaces. An example of the data would be like this, using periods to represent spaces:
What we have:
..1A02938.....
What we need:
1A02938 (no spaces)
Is there some sort of algorithm I can run on the data to remove those spaces? The problem is coming up when trying to perform a SELECT query. We try something like:
SELECT * FROM PCPIPT0 WHERE PANO20 = "1A02938" but we get zero results because of the spaces in the database. The datatype of the filed is char(20) because we need some flexibility on the size of the data stored.
I'm in a bit of a jam here and will appreciate any help.
I need the SQL code to replace a record if the record is empty.
For instance, I have about 7 columns containing over 40K records. In the firstname field, some records are blank. I need to replace all the blank firstname fields with this: 'now invalid' (without the quotes)
I want to join the two tables to add the Code of CodeType "C" to the records of NAMES
Result Example IDNameCode 1FIRSTgfd 2SECOND----
I want to have all records from the names with the codetype C, if there is no record with the codetype c for a given ID, the cell should be blank to identify for which ID's the CodeType C is mising.
I am trying to load a field in my DB and it is defined as varchar(11) but when I populate it, it still adds spaces at the end. When I try to use it in an If statement, it doesn't match and executes the else instead. The wierd part is it seems to make it 10 characters long and not 11 or the the actual length. I think I had originally set it up for char(10) then changed it afterward but I even deleted the field and reentered it as varchar(11).Thanks,Eric
Originally, I hit this problem with PHP. But then I was able to reproduce using VBScript.
I have a table with a couple of text fields, and one Real field in a table. One row of data in the table. Both text fields set, but the real field doesn't even need to have a value set.
Connecting to SQL 2005 using a DSN - ODBC.
I'm using a stored procedure I named ExecIt that runs a SQL statement that is sent in and returns records.
If I use cursor location adUseClient, it returns values for the text fields.
If I use asUseServer, it returns blank values.
If I use a SQL statement directly, it works. Only fails when using SQL statement by way of ExecIt.
In each case, cursor type is adOpenStatic or adOpenDynamic.
Using this combination fo cursor type and cursor location, it mimics what I see in SQL profiler when PHP is using ODBC.
Hi i hv a doubt in Sql server reporting..I do generate some reports based on some criteria.In the results screen i hv empty fields based on the search i hv generated.I need to set "0" instead of blank spaces in the fields..Can any one help me?
I am creating a report on an asp.net webpage to show how many times a coupon has been used from a set list of items.There are two tables I am using for this query.Table 1 has the list of items or coupons. Table 2 has a column for the item id from Table 1 and a value.
Example: Table 1 id Name 1 Coupon1 2 Coupon2 3 Coupon3
[code]...
My current query will only show coupon1 and coupon2 and the number and value. It will not show coupon2 since it hasn't been used. I would still like to show coupon2 with a number of zero and a value of zero.
Current query is: SELECT Table1.Name, COUNT(Table2.ID) AS CNum, SUM(Table2.Value) AS CValue FROM Table2 JOIN Table1 ON Table2.ID = Table1.ID GROUP BY Table1.Name
Data from as400 imports into SQL with blank fields which is the way as400 outputs records. How can you insert previous record of data null or blank field. ex:
i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"

I wanted to remove duplicate records from SSRS report. I set the "Hide Duplicates" to True. It is now working, But i am getting the space between the two records, which i want to get rid of. How to get rid of extra spaces between two records ( Please find the details below).
Hi, I have had this problem for a while and have not been able solve it.
What im looking at doing is looping thru my patient table and trying to organise the patients in to there admission sequence, so when patient "A" comes in and is treated at my hospital and is discharged and admitted to another Hospital within one day then patient "A" will get a code of 1 being there first admission.
then if patient "A" is admitted again but there admission date is greater than one day they get a code of 2 being for there second admission but will need to loop thru table looking for other admissions and discharges.
The table name is Adm_disc_Match_tbl
Basically what i have 4 fields. Index_key = which is the patient common link (text) ur_episode = this wil change for each Hospital (text) Admission_datetime = patient admission date and time (datetime) Discharge_datetime = patient discharge date and time (datetime)
I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyOptions where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyTimetable where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.
I have the table below, and I am trying to retrieve TileIDs that have the same ModelIDs.
ModelID TileID HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 HP DL380 G3 120v Dual15400 Sun SF 280R 120v 15401 Sun SF 280R 120v 15401 Sun SF 280R 120v 15401 Sun SF 280R 120v 15401 Lantronix MSS4 15401
So TileID ‘15400’ would be a keeper, since all ModelIDs are the same.
Hi All, I am trying to find records when searchProductCount = 2 AND when searchProductCount < 2 BUT productID not in (select pid from TableB) ... I have the query below ... but is there any other better way to do this? TableB has IDs: 100, 700 ...etc eg: searchProduct ID is 50,100 -- means returns everything when we found ALL productID (50,100) from TableA, count =2 Select productName, productID from TableA where searchProductCount = 2 AND productID IN (50,100) union all -- when not all productID found in TableA, we only return productsID from TableA which ID found in TableB, count < 2 Select productName, productID from TableA where searchProductCount < 2 and productID IN (select pid from TableB) -- in this case, pid found in TableB from searchProductID will be 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------ it comes out there are duplicates results (when first query is valid, we union all second query, so we have duplicates records). How can we eliminate the duplicates? Or is there better way to acheive this without using union all?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me an easy way to find duplicate records on sql. The thing is this, at work we have a database (table) which includes tracking numbers, I need a easy way to be able to search this table for duplicate tracking numbers and print them out. I currently access this table to edit some data by using the following path “Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager” then work my down the tree to “Databases > Master > Tables” on tables I do a right click and “open table/query”. Any help would be most appreciated. Believe me I’m very “SQL illiterate”
I have this query that I have been using to find duplicate records works great except for now. The logic I am adding is pcs_rreas <> 'NG'. When I add this it does take out the NG, but it also excludes the reocords that have NULL data in this field. I don't want that to happen. How can I fix this? I tried adding (pcs_rreas <> 'NG' or pcs_rreas is null) but nothing is pulling now.
I have a question regarding SQL Server Performance and would be grateful for a tip. Let's say I have a DB with 50.000 records. These records belong to 1.000 different datasets, so there is 1 actual and 49 historical data records. For example a company with 1000 employees has a database where each year a new record is created for each employee so after 50 years they have 50.000 records (50 years x 1000 employees). 1 record is actual, and 49 are historical. What is the best way to store this? Main target is performance for the enduser, so when an employee clicks "See all my records" it should be fast. But on the other hand the application mainly works only with the current year. Additionally it should also be fast for the boss of business unit who wants to see the latest records of his e.g. 100 employees. I have some ideas and would like to get your opinion:
1. Retrieve by latest date Just store the records. To get the current year just select the record with the latest year. Disadvantage might be with larger databases: If the company switches to store the requests per month, each user would have 600 records (12 months x 50 years). Each time the latest record should be retrieved, 600 recards have to be compared regarding the latest date (or sorted by date descending using Top1, but this might be a problem for the boss then? Or could this be combined for a group if the boss wants to see all the latest records of his employees?).
2. Add a 'IsCurrent'-Flag Each time a new record is stored it should be compared to the latest record. If it is newer, the 'IsCurrent'-Flag should be removed and then checked on the new record. This should be fast processed (because on saving a new record it only needs to be checked against the currently 'IsCurrent'-flagged record), and for retrieving the current record no further comparison is necessary. But how could I do this? I need to update the "AddRecord"-SP with this comparison, but I don't know how to do this.
Currently number 2 is my favorite, I just don't know how to do it ;-) What is your opinion about it, and could you include an example?
I would like to find all the records that contain only digits. So far, I have this:
SELECT * FROM tmp1 WHERE (word LIKE N'[0-9]')
It returns only ten results, each containing a single digit. What I need is to find all the records of any length containing only digits, like '378', '2005', etc. but not records containing both digits and other stuff (e.g. letters) like 'I95' or 'P2P'.

There are 5 links at Slot 1 , that's generate error. But why? What does it mean - "The text, ntext, or image node at page (1:377289), slot 1, text ID 897099563008 is not referenced" ???
I saw other pages (not 'broken') - there is: Blob Fragment don't contains links - links are in other pages.
What are these 'broken' records in my example - they are chunks of lost information, that i can't recover?
Or not? May be exists a way, that i find all 'broken' records? Because, my table contains 192 records. But there is BLOB field - and i can't check consistency of every file, that uploaded in my table. In addition I will fully appreciate this problem.
At last, if i find record, i run checktable with repair_allow_data_loss, then upload file again.
