Hi
I am new to SQL. My scenario is I get a string from the user I need to match this string with value present in 2 cloumns. If the string is present in either of the column then i should select that particular record from the table.
Now my question is if i Have to match with one cloumn i can used charindex function is there any function with which i can match the string with data present in more than one cloumn.
Thanks Much
I want to write a query to bring out any records in a table
where any of its fields contain a null value. I could do it in this way:

is null

Hello,
I have a web form with a check box list with 5 values. Each of them is an int value, and the user can select multiple values from the check box list. For example:
Status:
1) Single
2) Married
3) In Relationship
4) Divorced
5) Any
These values correspond to a column called "RelationshipStatus" which holds an int value of NULL or 0-5.
So the value passed to my SQL query would be any combination of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (Which denote any of the above). It could look like this:
@Status = '132'
Now my question is how would I do a select statement that finds any row with one of those value (Any row with 1, or 3, or 2)? If there is a '5' in the varible then the select statement should return any row regardless of the value.
Table Name: "USER_TABLE"
Column Name: "Relationship_Status"
Value Type: INT
Thank you experts!
I have a query I am currently attempting to optimise. Â The query joins in on a sub table (queries the same table) to garner a maximum date value for each row to display. Â For example:
SELECT Column1
,Column2
,DateColumn
FROM Table1 T
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Column1 + Column2 AS ConcatColumn, Column3, MAX(DateColumn) AS dt
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Column1 + Column2
) X ON X.ConcatColumn = T.Column1 + Column2 AND X.dt = T.DateColumn
Is there any way I can write this another way (preferably more cleaner/optimised)?
Hi Everyone,
This is the table I have:
Sections Class1 Class2 Class3 Class4
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A 30 20 30 40
B 40 15 10 10
C 20 5 10 5
Total 90 40 50 55
There are around 6 more classes which I haven't mentioned. The resultant table that I need would be something like this.
Sections Class1 Class4 Others
-------------------------------------------------
A 30 40 50
B 40 10 25
C 20 5 15
Total 90 55 90
What I want is the top two maximum values to appear and everything else to be clubbed into Others and correspondingly their numbers to be summed up i.e. Dynamically depending on the total only those classes with maximum 'Total' value to appear.
how to find all possible combinations of values, for example:
My table includes:
Code:
CREATE TABLE temp1 (item varchar(50), ORDER int);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('apple',1);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('pear',2);
INSERT INTO temp1 (item, order) VALUES ('blueberry',3);
I need the output to be like this:
apple
pear
blueberry
apple, pear
apple, blueberry
pear, blueberry
apple, pear, blueberry
I don't need the reverse of each. For example, I need only 'apple, pear'... I don't need 'pear, apple'.
Hi all...I've got a group of tables and I wanted to first see which tablescontained a fields containing the "Date/Time" data type. And I wassuccessful in doing so...here's the query:(select a.name tablename, b.name colnamefrom sysobjects a, syscolumns bwhere a.name = object_name(b.id)AND B.TYPE = 61 AND A.XTYPE = 'U')Now...my only issue is find which query I can run (On each table)which returns to me ONLY the values containing the date/time stampwith milli seconds (Ex: 01/01/2007 10:10:50:987)I require this since we are planning on shifting those tables to theOracle platform, and we've had issues doing this while loading theextracted information, since it was not taking the values containingthe "milliseconds".Is there a way to do this? Or is it better to simply remove themilliseconds all togeather? I wouldn't mind doing so provided that itdoesn't includes changes to the actual data type.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's what I'd like to be able to do: I have a queue that holds any number tasks, so something like this here:
queue_1 task_a
task_b
task_c
task_d
Workers are assigned to teams, Red team, Blue team, Green team. What I need to do is identify instances where all tasks for a given queue have been handled by one team. Once a task has been assigned to a queue any team can work on it, but when only one team has completed every task in a queue a bonus should be awarded.
I'm looking for this to award a bonus:
queue_num task_num team
queue_1 task_a red
task_b red
task_c red
task_d red
No bonus for any team here
queue_num task_num team
queue_1 task_a red
task_b blue
task_c red
task_d green
So the red team earns a bonus. Now, I have thousands of queues each containing any number of tasks. Using T-SQL how can I find all queues where only one team was responsible for completeing every task assigned to the queue? Do I have to use a cursor and eval each task coming through or is there a faster, more efficient way to handle this in SQL?
I am using Access 2007 and I have 10 columns of data.
I am trying to select all the data from all 10 columns where the first column's data returns only the Unique values and the other columns return all the data from the row that is returned from the first column.
I have used this
SELECT DISTINCT [SFR Rates All].Sorter, [SFR Rates All].SProgram, [SFR Rates All].S_Price, [SFR Rates All].Min_Loan, [SFR Rates All].Max_Loan
FROM [SFR Rates All];
But that returns all the data in the table and all values in the Sorter column with duplicates because each row has distinct data.
I am trying to return unique values from [SFR Rates All].Sorter (the first column) and all the data from the other 9 columns that are contain the row with the unique value in Sorter.
I know that I am missing something basic but well, I can't figure it out.
Thanks

I am in a situation where I need to find out unique field names with different values in a table having 200+ columns.
Let's say I have two rows with 200+ columns ( I exported these rows from Lotus Notes to SQL Server) I am not sure what columns makes unique of these rows. It's going to be tedious by checking each column values.
Is there anyway I can write a squl query on these two rows which outputs column names which are having unique values.
I would appreciate If anybody gives me hint about achieving desired result
The following is sample data I am dealing with.
SELECT * INTO TEMP

UNION
SELECT 'AAAAA' AS CATEGORY, 'A1000' AS CODE, '02-01-2014' AS STARTDATE, '02-28-2014' AS ENDDATE
UNION
SELECT 'AAAAA' AS CATEGORY, 'A1000' AS CODE, '03-01-2014' AS STARTDATE, '03-31-2014' AS ENDDATE
UNION
SELECT 'AAAAA' AS CATEGORY, 'A2000' AS CODE, '04-01-2014' AS STARTDATE, '04-30-2014' AS ENDDATE
UNION
SELECT 'AAAAA' AS CATEGORY, 'A1000' AS CODE, '05-01-2014' AS STARTDATE, '05-31-2014' AS ENDDATE) X
I need to extract the date that the value in CODE column changes to another code for each value of CATEGORY and if there is no change, to record the original CODE value and its startdate for each CATEGORY.
I'm trying to come up with a query for this data:
CREATE TABLE #Visits (OpportunityID int, ActivityID int, FirstVisit date, ScheduledEnd datetime, isFirstVisit bit, isRepeatVisit bit)
INSERT #Visits (OpportunityID, ActivityID, FirstVisit, ScheduledEnd)
SELECT 1, 1001, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 12:00:00.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 1, 1002, '2014-08-17', '2014-08-17 17:04:13.000' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1003, '2014-08-18', '2014-08-18 20:39:56.000' UNION ALL
[Code] ....
Here are the expected results:
OpportunityIDActivityIDFirstVisitScheduledEndisFirstVisitisRepeatVisit
110012014-08-172014-08-17 12:00:00.00010
110022014-08-172014-08-17 17:04:13.00001
210032014-08-182014-08-18 20:39:56.00001
210042014-08-182014-08-18 18:00:00.00010
[Code] ....
Basically I'd like to mark the first Activity for each OpportunityID as a First Visit if its ScheduledEnd falls on the same day as the FirstVisit, and otherwise mark it as a Repeat Visit.
I have this so far, but it doesn't pick up on that the ScheduledEnd needs to be on the same day as the FirstVisit date to count as a first visit:
SELECT*,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS isFirstVisit,
CASE MIN(ScheduledEnd) OVER (PARTITION BY FirstVisit)
WHEN ScheduledEnd THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS isRepeatVisit

Hello all,
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
"SELECT DISTINCT fire_id, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out FROM ipt_tbl " & _
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
Any suggestions?
thanks for your time...
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Hi All,
I receive the input file with some 100 columns and some 20k+ rows and I want to check the incoming input row is existed in the database or not based on 2 key columns. If the row is existed then I need to check all the columns (nearly 100 columns) values in input and the database are equal or not. If both are equal I need to treat them seperately if not there is a seperate logic. How Can I do that check for each row and for each column?
Basically the algorithm is like this, if the input file row is not existed in the database then treat that as new row else if the input row is existed in the database then check all the columns are equal or not. If all the columns are equal then treat that as existing row and do nothing else if some columns are not equal then treat this row seperately.
I found some thing to achieve the above thing.
1. Take the input row and check in the database.
2. If the row is not found in the database then treat it as new row.
3. If row is found in the database then
a) Take the source row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
b) Take the database row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
c) Find out the hash code for the 2 strings and then compare hash codes for equal.
The disadvantage of this is running a loop 2*m*n times where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. It should be done 2 times for input file row and database row.
Can anybody suggest a good method to do this?
What does the function "GetHashCode" for InputBuffer in method "Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)" will do?
Will it generates hash code based on all the columns values?
Pls clarify.

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.

The editor compressed all my space fields, so the column headers are off in some places.
I have a script that I use after some amount of data massaging (not shown). I would like to be able to change the
1) denominator value (the value 8 in line 32 of my code) based on how many columns are selected by the where clause:
where left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = 1where capNumber is a value like [1_1], [1_4], [1_6]...[1_9] capNumber can be any values from [1_1]...[14_10] depending upon the specialty value (example: Allergy) and the final number after the equal sign is a number from 1 to 14)
2) I'd like to dynamically determine the series depending upon which values correspond to the specialty and run for each where: left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = n. n is a number between 1 and 14.
3) finally I'd like to dynamically determine the columns in line 31 (4th line from the bottom)
If I do it by hand it's 23 * 14 separate runs to get separate results for each CapNumber series within specialty. The capNumber series is like [1_1], [1_2], [1_3],[1_4], [1_5], [1_6], [1_7], [1_8],[1_9]
...
[8_4],[8_7]
...
[14_1], [14_2],...[14_10]
etc.
Again, the series are usually discontinuous and specific to each specialty.
Here's the portion of the script (it's at the end) that I'm talking about:
--change values in square brackets below for each specialty as needed and change the denom number in the very last query.

To Execute Package I Right Clicked and Click on Run Package
Then I Clicked on Execute and package was executed successfully.
Problem is that if I try to Set Values then Package through Error
DTExec: Could not set ProcessMode value to M.
Basically I could not understand in which format I should pass the Variables.
What I tried is listed below:
ProcessMode;M
Package.Variables[User:rocessMode].Value;M
Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
But every time I got errors.
And then I tried from Command Line
DTEXEC /DTS "MSDBLoad_Order" /SERVER SERVERNAME /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V /SET Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
First time Process run successfully. And it has changed the ProcessMode to M also. But after that it was also not changing the ProcessMode Value to M.
Please help in regarding. I tried a lot from Site examples also, but could not get proper solution.

Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task. Â It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields. Â A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date. Â I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change. Â
I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed).Â
Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).
