I have two different databases that store the same info. Sometimes the data doesn't match, and I have been asked to come up with a query to find the decrepencies.
That data is an employees payrates for StraightTime OverTime and Double time. The problem is they store the data differently.
System 1 stores it
EmployeeID - Name - StraightTime - OverTime - Doubletime
I tried Left Joining the System2.RateTable 3x, but it will only return the first join's records, and then the second and third join's records appear ONLY if the the record if also wrong with the first joins rows.
Is there a way to do this in SQL, of do I need to bit the bullet, and run the query 3x, and then assemble them in code with a loop?
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I have a database that stores some data from two questionnaires. Table One has been created in a fairly straightforward manner. It has the following fields:
Table Two is a bit more complicated. I'm guessing whoever created it wanted to do things a bit more "efficiently" and it has the following fields.
ID, variable, response.
If I wanted to, say, extract variables 2, 3 and 5 from Table One I could write:
SELECT ID, variable2, variable3, variable 5 FROM TableOne
I don't know how to do a similar thing with Table 2 using only one statement. ie, I can only think of doing:
SELECT ID, Response FROM Table2 WHERE variable = 2
SELECT ID, Response FROM Table2 WHERE variable = 3
SELECT ID, Response FROM Table2 WHERE variable = 5
This isn't much good to me as I need the data from Table Two in a single table. Once I've done that, I need to join it to Table One. Ordinarily I'd know how to do that, but I don't know how to do given the format of Table Two.
So... I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to "flatten" Table Two?
Hello Experts,Here is the code to flatten a PC hierarchy into a level based table. Itworks fine.SELECTt1.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV1,t2.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV2,t3.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV3,t4.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV4,t5.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV5FROM dbo.Project t1 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t2 ON t2.PARENT_TASK_ID = t1.TASK_IDAND t2.WBS_LEVEL = 2 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t3 ON t3.PARENT_TASK_ID = t2.TASK_IDAND t3.WBS_LEVEL = 3 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t4 ON t4.PARENT_TASK_ID = t3.TASK_IDAND t4.WBS_LEVEL = 4 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t5 ON t5.PARENT_TASK_ID = t4.TASK_IDAND t5.WBS_LEVEL = 5How do modify the code to work for any level rather than hard codingthe level up to "5"?Please help.Thanks.Soumya

We have a table with 500+ columns. The data is non-normalized, i.e. there are four groups of fields for for "people", followed by data that applies to all people in the row (a "household").For ad-hoc queries, and because I wanted to index columns within each person (person 1's age, person 2's age, etc.), I used UNION:
SELECT P1Firstname AS FirstName, P1LastName as LastName, P1birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns> UNION SELECT P2Firstname AS FirstName, P2LastName as LastName, P2birthday AS birthday, HouseholdIncome, HouseholdNumber of Children, <other "household" columns>
I could get at least the P1... P2... P3... columns with PIVOT, but then I believe I'd have to JOIN back to the row anyway for the "household" columns. Performance of UNION good, but another person here chose to use PIVOT instead.I can' find any articles on PIVOT vs. UNION for "de-flattening".
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value ----------- ----- colB 123 colA XYZ

I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups. What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
We can save query output save as CSV file directly from the Query Analyzer window. I have done it at last few year before. Now I need it.Can anyone please give the one example for the same.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005.

Hi,all, I ran the two queries and I thought it would be the same, but it's different. Can you explain to me.

Hello all,I tryed to simplify the problem as much as possible. I'll start with theDDL:----------------------------------CREATE TABLE #MyTable(NoID INT,Type CHAR,DateTransaction DATETIME)INSERT INTO #MyTable (NoID, Type, DateTransaction)SELECT 1 AS NoID, 'A' AS Type, '2004-01-01' AS DateTransaction UNION ALLSELECT 2, 'C', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 3, 'B', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 4, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 5, 'B', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 6, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 7, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 8, 'B', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 9, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 10, 'C', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 11, 'B', '2004-01-03'----------------------------------What I want is all the same Type which, for a same DateTransaction, as adifferent Type inserte beetween them when data is sorted by DateTransactionand NoID. In this case I would like:Type DateTransaction------ -----------------C 2004-01-02 /* B is between two C (NoID = 5) */A 2004-01-03 /* B is between tow A (NoID = 8) */B 2004-01-03 /* A and C are between two B (NoID = 9 and10) */All of these have for the corresponding date at least one transaction with adifferent type between.In the real situation NoID is an autoincrement field, the PK. And theDateTransaction hasn't any time, just a round date.Any suggestion?Thanks for your time.Yannick

Basically, I track complaints and each complaint can have 1 or more subjects associated with it. The structure is the complaint is referenced in a complaintsubject row and I use the persons table to find out detail of the complaintsubject (firstname, middlename, lastname) complaintsubject just holds Id's to normalize the database rather than have all details of persons table copied into every complaint (pretty basic so far).
My first question is regarding structure...since my complaint to complaintsubject relationship is 1 to many I assume the best way to associate the two is to have a FileNumber field in the complaintsubject linking back to a complaint. Is there any other design that is better suited to this type of relationship?
Second question and most important: I need a way to search by a string that appears in any part of the firstname, middlenames, lastname. I have the query for this and its working. But the problem arises when I have more than one match (i.e. 2 or more people are involved in the complaint where the match string fits both - example say we have a match string of 'an' and in complaint xyz 2 people involved are Sandy Blah and Andy Blue). Now when I do my join to pull out the complaints that involve any people with a name containing 'an' the result set returns the same complaint twice, one for Sandy Blah and the other for Andy Blue). Since I am only interested in certain complaint details and not interested in having the actual people involved returned in the result set, I would like to return only 1 row for each complaint when more than one match is found for the firstname,middlenames,lastname. I could live with having the duplicate rows and process them easily application side, but I am sending a lot of duplicate information over the wire for nothing and would like to optimize this.
I hope I have described this well enough and would greatly, greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi all, As my user runs a query for her data, the query shows up with someone else's data. Can somebody tell me what happened and how o fix the problem. Thanks!
I have to pull values from a mysql table, then loop through the result set using the value in an mssql query as shown below. I also have an array ($all_lobs[]) of about 100 values that must be looped through for each value pulled from the mysql table:
$tod=date("n/j/Y",time());
//this is pulling the data from the mysql table $query2="select CustId from prospect_CustId "; $result2=mysql_query($query2,$link_id_mysql); while($custs=mysql_fetch_row($result2))
[Code] .....
If I pull only 100 records from the mysql table, this takes about 1 second to run. However, if I pull 200 records, it takes about 60 secs to run. And, if I pull 300 records, it takes about 200 secs to run. After about 500 records, it takes almost a second per record to run!
Since I have 20,000+ records to pull, this takes hours...
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to modify the mssql tables at all, only query them.
Hi all, i have a problem ... if there is a query that returns so many rows. I want to know where the result is stored? for example:what database?, what table?, what transaction log file? Thanks fr reading.
