GROUP BY And Text Field
Jun 23, 2008
SELECT OCRD.CardCode AS 'Customer No.', INV1.DocEntry as 'Doc En.', INV1.Text as 'Txt'
FROM INV1, OCRD
GROUP BY OCRD.CardCode, INV1.DocEntry, INV1.Text
This is the code that I expected to execute, but I am getting an error
When i put Text in the Group By its gives me an error
When i take Text out of the Group By it gives me an error
CardCode has numbers in it..DocEntry has numbers in it..Text has NULLs in it or blank values
Is there a way I can keep the group by and making this code work?
Any help is appreciated, thank you

I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:
If [Field1] contains text from [Field2] then return [Field3] as [Field4].
I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.

Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris

In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.

Hi,
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.

I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark

Hi all,
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
cheers
Dominic

Hi,
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Thanks.

Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it.
I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns)
For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal.
<ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>

Hi,
I am very new to using SQL. Our department usually uses Brio to query the various databases under our control. However, I have recently come against a problem that prompted me to create a custom SQL query which works well as far as it goes. My problem is looking for specific conditions in billing information I receive monthly. I would like to compare on of the date fields contained in the database with a field in the form of YYYYMM (200710, for October 2007) I have created a custom column generator that forms a date from the YYYYMM. I would like, however, do the translation on the fly and make the comparison during the query. The problem is that query without the date check returns a mass of data, only about 1 percent of which is what I want.
The beginning of the SQL query looks like this:
FROM From.T_Crs_Tran_Dtl WHERE T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo IN ('200710', '200711', '200712') AND ((T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Cde IN ('1G', '1V') AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde IN (' ', 'TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde IN ('TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Std_Tran_Typ_Cde='B') OR (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde='UN' AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde='XX' AND€¦
It is the €ś(T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND€? part of the query that is just plain wrong. The business part of this statement takes the YYYYMM field and turns it into a date which is the last day of YYYYMM.
I hope someone out there can help me with making this comparison.
I appreciate your help.
Bill

Hi everyone,
I'm extremely new to SQL so be nice
I am attempting to write a script to add onto the end of a text field the words " -- Disposed " (About 60 rows worth).
The field is a TEXT field, so unlike a varchar field I can't just use Update as shown below.
Code:
Update AR_Primary_asset
Set AR_Primary_asset.description = AR_Primary_asset.description + ' -- Disposed'
Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','4')
I found on the Mircosoft pages about UPDATETEXT, but this only seem to work to update one row (In the case below Asset_ref = 3, was the only row effected) .
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose binary(16)
SELECT @Dispose = TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION)
FROM AR_PRIMARY_ASSET
WHERE AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','3')
UPDATETEXT AR_PRIMARY_ASSET.DESCRIPTION @ptrval null null ' -- Disposed'
So i wrapped it into a cursor, this worked on my test SQL server which runs SQL2005.
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose varbinary(16)
DECLARE cursor1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION)
FROM AR_Primary_Asset
Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in('1','2','3')
OPEN cursor1
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor1
INTO @Dispose
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
UPDATETEXT AR_Primary_Asset.DESCRIPTION @Dispose NULL NULL ' -- Disposed'
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor1
INTO @Dispose
END
CLOSE cursor1
DEALLOCATE cursor1
But when it was run on our SQL2000 server it gave the following error message
Quote: Msg 403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
I've never used vars, cursors, updatetext or even text fields before. So maybe I am going about it totally the wrong way.
Is anyone able to tell me a better way to write this? or how to make it compatible to SQL2000?

Application is ocr'ing tiff image files and then storing the resultant text data in a text field in SQL 2005 database. This field is then used with the full text catalog.
All works fine,
However, am I using the correct field type to store the text files for efficiency and space saving?
If I use a binary field, does this reduce the size of the database by compressing the text data in the binary field? Also, is there a limit as to the size of text file that I could store in a binary field?
It would be good to get feedback on this before I go too far down the wrong road.
So, text field to store the text data or binary field to store the actual text file?

I've got a query where i need to return a max value based on a select but one of the fields i need to return in the results is the records primary key ID No. This messes up the MAX bit and means that all results are returned, not just the max one.
The query i'm using is very long so i've simplified what i mean by the example below. Say i have a table 'Fruits':
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
And run the query:
select max(Cost),FruitName From Fruitsgroup by FruitName
It'll correctly return:
FruitName CostApple 0.63Pear 0.89
Now i need the ID also returned by my query so i go:
select max(Cost),FruitName,ID From Fruitsgroup by FruitName,ID
This doesnt return the above results with the ID appended to it, it instead returns:
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
As the ID is always distinct and therefore messes up the grouping. How in this instance would i return the correct result of:
ID FruitName Cost2 Apple 0.634 Pear 0.89
Thanks.

Hi,I have a problem on an old app. This application is a Help Desk, any Computer related problem (Motherboard Burn Out, Software Crash, dll) on my company will be recorded using this Help Desk application.One month ago, some programmer found a bug in this program lead to many duplicate data on database. But too late, This program has entered production stage and used for more than 2 years. This bug only happen at some condition so I found out after 2 years running (when my boss reported there are some duplicate data on "helpDesk" table).The bug is solved but helpDesk table need some "cleaning" operation. Here is structure of that table :helpDesk Table- id (primary key, integer auto increment)- reported_by (varchar 200)- problem_title (varchar 200)- problem_description (text)- date_summited (datetime)well usualy if I want to find some duplicate data I wil type :SELECT MAX(uid) AS uid, reported_by, problem_title, COUNT(uid) AS total_duplicateFROM problemsGROUP BY problem_title, problem_description,uidHAVING (COUNT(uid) > 1)But that query will not work because problem_description data type is "text" which not support "group by" statement.Any other Idea how to locate and cleaning up this duplicate data?thanks

Hello,
Not sure how to do this. I think I need to use a Group By query. I have a "Products" table with the following fields:
Program#
Number
UPC
Item
Item#
Size
Dept
Everything is specific to the Program#. In other words, for every instance of a Program# there can be more than one Product, which is specified by the "Number" field. So: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE [Program#] = '12345' should return this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 3 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
However, some recordsets are returning like this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
In which case I have to fix them (the "Number" field) with an update query sp they are numbered sequentially. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often.
Can someone help me with a query that will return only those records with duplicate values in the "Number" field? I am not sure how to construct this query which I will use as a stored procedure.
TIA,

I am a student, and I am so confused by SQL code that calculates incomes of my contract in a year or each month of year.
I have 3 tables:
lodgings_Contract:
id_contract indentity primary,
id_person int,
id_room varchar(4),
day_begin datetime,
day_end datetime,
day_register datetime
money_per_month money
electric:
id_electric indentity primary key,

Water:
id_Water indentity primary key,
id_room varchar(4),
number_first int,
number_last int,
Sum_Number int,
money_water money,
status bit
Now what I want to do are statistics on how much money I got in a year or month. Here is my code to calculate incomes of year.
Select Year(day_register) as 'Year'
, Sum(money_per_month * month(day_end-day_register)) + sum(b.money_electric+c.money_water) as 'Incomes'
From lodgings_Contract a
, electric b
, Water c
Where a.id_room = b.id_room
And a.id_room = c.id_room
And b.status = 1
And c.status = 1
Group by Year(day_register)

The report matrix look like the above one. The elements A,B,C are coming from one hierarchy and D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K are coming from other hierarchy. But i have created one data set to fetch the values for the report. But while creating the column group I am getting both two diff fields so I am not able to use it in single Column group and I want to use only one column group.

I know only enough SQL to be dangerous, but I'm stumped by this general task.
I need to know the method for selecting info from several fields of the records that satisfy a group function criteria on one of the fields. Example: Table contains Employees, products, amounts. If I group on Employee, and product, I can find the total amount of each product's sales for that employee.
create view prod_sales_by_emplyoee
select
employee
product
SUM(amount) as empl_prod_total
from sales
group by employee, product
But if I want to know which product made each employee the most money, I don't know how to do that, because the MAX function works on each field individually, not by row. From the above view, (or a table created from it) I want to know how to identify, for each employee, the product they made the most money selling, and what proportion of their total sales that product accounted for. Then, I'd like to use those results to eliminate the top tier, and find their second place product, etc.
I can do this in Access by sorting the table produced from the above view by empl_prod_total in decending order, joining that to a view that groups by employee only and provides a total, then using a grouped query on the joined data, I can use the "FIRST" function to find the values in each field of the record with the highest sales for that employee. However SQL doesn't have the FIRST function in its aggregate functions.
I suspect there's a standard way SQL does this, but it wasn't in my class. HELP!

This part is solved, please see my question at the bottom of this topic
Hi, my problem is the following, doesn't seem too hard but it's been puzzling me for hours now, and haven't solved it yet, so I need your help!
I'm creating an application to read from an existing db running on SQL-server 2000. This db contains the tables: tClient, tCommunication and tAddress. All of the three tables share a field called nClient which is the unique key in tClient, but each client can have multiple adresses and communication (phone/email etc), so several nClient can occur with the same value in tCommunication and tAddress.
I want to run a query which searches for a text (%blah%) in several fields in any of the tables, but I don't want the query to return the same client more than once, which now does happen if a client has more than one address. Help me! I want to to either return the clients with only the address that contained the %blah% or only the first address it finds for the client. Please help!
Simplified version of my query is like this:
SELECT sLastname, sStreet, sCommunication FROM tClient
LEFT JOIN tCommunication ON tClient.nClient = tCommunication.nClient
LEFT JOIN tAddress ON tClient.nClient = tAddress.nClient
WHERE tClient.sLastname LIKE '%blah%'
OR tClient.sCompanyName LIKE '%blah%'
OR tClient.sClient LIKE '%blah%'
OR tClient.sFirstname LIKE '%blah%'
OR tClient.mMemo LIKE '%blah%'
OR tCommunication.sCommunication LIKE '%blah%'
OR tAddress.sStreet LIKE '%blah%'
OR tAddress.sNumber LIKE '%blah%'
OR tAddress.sZip LIKE '%blah%'
OR tAddress.sCity LIKE '%blah%';

I have a matrix report with 4 row groups. I am experiencing a bug with the text that is displayed in the second group.
When it changes group 1, the text for second group is alway wrong for the first row in the list. It always shows the text that was displayed for the first row of the previous group1.
Here is what it looks like. Has anyone else seen this? Please tell me there is a solution and that matrix reports aren't just broken ...

best solution for this stored procedure query.I'm getting the following error:
Column 'dbo.Applicants.submitted' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause. Here is my select query:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT DATENAME(MONTH, submitted) AS mon, MAX(submitted) AS SubmitDate
FROM dbo.Applicants
WHERE ((CASE WHEN MONTH(submitted) > 8 THEN YEAR(submitted) + 1 ELSE YEAR(submitted) END) = @AcYr)
ORDER BY SubmitDate
The submitted field is a date field.I don't want to add the submitted field to Group By as I want to group by month not date.Is there any solution to avoid grouping by date?

When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 =
CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END
, fieldname2
, fieldname3
FROM tablename1
GROUP BY CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
Regards,
Dave

Using SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3042), I can not get a full-text search query to work with order by or group by. For example, if I run the following query...
SELECT s.networkID, i.interID
FROM Interactions i
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Interactions, text, 'ipo') t ON t.[key] = i.interID
INNER JOIN Sessions s ON i.sessionID = s.sessionID
WHERE i.startTime BETWEEN 1051772400000 AND 1054537199000
It returns two rows immediately.
If I add an "order by" or "group by" like...
SELECT s.networkID, i.interID
FROM Interactions i
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Interactions, text, 'ipo') t ON t.[key] = i.interID
INNER JOIN Sessions s ON i.sessionID = s.sessionID
WHERE i.startTime BETWEEN 1051772400000 AND 1054537199000
ORDER BY s.networkID, i.interID
The CPU shoots to 100% and I have to kill the query. I have tried many variations of the above and I can not get the query to work with order by or group by. Is this a bug in SQL Server? Is there a fix or workaround?
