Looong story short. I have a screen with search criteria. Right.
I have table :
tblCandidateLicense
intPkCandidateLicenseID (PK)
intFkCandidateId
intFkLicenseTypeID
And Another table
tblLicenseTypeDef
Columns:
intPkLicenseTypeID (Pk Int)
strDescription
strLicenseCode
intRank (just for ranking)
intRankParent (for grouping types of vehicles)
tblLicenseTypeDef data contains:
1 , MotorCycle < 125,0,1,0
2 , MotorCycle > 125,0,2,0
3 , Car 1 ,0,0,1
4 , Car 2 ,0,1,1
5 , Car 3 ,0,2,1
5 , Car 4 ,0,3,1
tblCandidateLicense data contains
1 , 57, 1
2 , 57, 3
3 , 58, 4
I use the intRank to determine which vehicle is bigger and intRankParent to make groups (so motorbikes and cars searched don't bring back the wrong type)
I want to be able to search on License Type .
But now a person can search for car 4 and motorcyle > 125. Then my query needs to find all the people with car type 4 AND Smaller (car-1-2-3-4) (that is group 4), and motorcycle and smaller (1 and 2) (Group 0)
If a person search for car type Car 3 and motorcycle < 125, then car 1-2-3 and MotorCycle 1 must be returned.
I am trying to select all the data which are not associated with values older than a specific value.. For example I have:
paola -- 2 paola -- 3 paola -- 10
jessica -- 3 jessica -- 12
james -- 3 james -- 2 james -- 5
I want to query only those names, that are associated with numbers greater than 3. So, for this example, the result would be only Jessica. the others should be discarded.
In my datawarehouse fact table I have a column (revenue) that I want to populate based on the values of number of columns, for simplicity, say just 2 columns, 'productid' and 'affiliateid'.
I have a revenue lookup table, with those same 2 columns and the amount. So far so simple, but rather than have one row for every possible combination, I use 0 to mean default. For instance, all the affiliates have the same revenue value apart from a couple, so instead of 200 rows identical except for the affiliateid, I have one row with a '0' for the affiliateid and 4 rows with specific affiliateIDs where it differs from the default.
To update the values, I join to the revenues table twice, one for both columns matching, and once for the default. I.E.
UPDATE facttable SET revenue = ISNULL(rev1.revenue, ISNULL(rev2.revenue,0)) FROM facttable FT LEFT OUTER JOIN revenues rev1 ON FT.AffiliateID = rev1.AffilateID and FT.TypeID = rev1.TypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN revenues rev2 ON rev1.AffilateID = 0 and FT.TypeID = rev1.TypeID (In fact, this is over-simplified, because in fact there are 3 columns, so I have to have 8 joins like this).
This works very well, and cuts down the management of revenues significantly, there are a few 100 rows instead of the more than 100,000 there would be if I put every possible combination of values in its own row.
However, now there is a requirement to increase the granularity of the revenue allocation up to 5 columns, which makes 36 joins and there could well be more columns added later.
Has anyone come across a situation like this (and found a neater solution).
Im Working with stored procedure. How can i compare Columns with specific values. I want to get the greater values of those column and inserted it to other columns. i want something like these CASE WHEN a> b,c,d THEN a WHEN b> a,c,d THEN b WHEN c> a,b,d THEN c WHEN d> a,d,c THEN d
is there any ways to implement this? i got an error.. thanks please help..
I had no idea what to name the topic so I hope this is ok.
I feel like I am losing it, even though I am still learning SQL Server - I dont use it much in terms of technical/complex queries and so on but I do use SQL on a regular (almost) basis. I am all about making sure it is secure and effecient and performance and so on - just to give a bit of background about myself.
Say for instance I have an ASP.NET website, which I have developed a discussion board from scratch using SQL Server to store all the information.
Say for instance, we have a topic, and that topic will be "locked".
Would I be correct in saying that on such a table, "Topics", there should be a field which is known as "ActiveStatus" or "IsLocked", and depending on if the thread is locked or not, that value is set on the table field? Am I correct in saying this?
If not - then what is the correct way of stating/retrieving if the topic is locked, in other words, what is the best way to have control over the thread so you can lock the topic?
I cannot think of another way but to store this one value in SQL on this topic table, along with other fields. I would then get the result by calling the procedure from ASP.NET and accordingly, set an image button on the webpage to either "locked" or "post reply"
Sorry for being silly, but I want to confirm if I am about to do this correctly or not. I want to make sure I am doing the best practice all the time, and enjoy doing it naturally. What is the best design/decision on such a scenario/situation?
Many thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it! :-)
Hello. I have a somwhat simple question. I have a table inside my database where i have some columns. Id like to extract distinct values from one column and inser them into another. My table is named article and id like to slect all the destinct values from the column naned type inside my article table. Then i need to insert my values into a new table called type but i would also like the to have 2 columns inside my type table. 1 called counter witch is an auto increment PK, and another one named type where the results from my query would be inserted. Iv tried a veriety of querys but none of them have managed to do this. Could anyone help me construct this query?
The 2 digit number that appears on line 1, 7 and 13 (only in this example) i need to have added to the begin of each value below it until the next 2 digit number is encountered. The desired result set would look like:
I've a table that stores operationcode for each jobnumber. The jobnumber can have multiple operationcode. From the below DDL, I need to show all the jobs that have operation codes as 2001 and 2002. In the below DDL Jobnumber 80011 has both the operation codes 2001 and 2002 so this job will display on the report.
On the other hand Job 80021 only has operationcode 2001 and I do not want this job to show up on the report.
I need to show all the operationcodes for a job if it has operationcode 2001 and 2002.
USE tempdb; GO DECLARE @TEST_DATA TABLE ( DT_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED , OperationCodeVARCHAR(10) NOT NULL , EmployeeCode VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
I'd like to limit my query results to only items that match any part of a dynamic csv string table but am having some trouble (postgres SQL). Details: I need to calculate how many hours our staff spends seeing clients. Each staff has different appointments that can count toward this. The specified appointments for each staff are listed as comma separated values. My existing query calculates the appointment hours for each staff in a given time period.
However, I need limiting my query to only include specified activities for each staff. My current where clause uses IN to compare the appointment (i.e. activity) listed in the staff's schedule with what is listed an an approved appointment type (i.e. performance target activity). The query runs but it seems to only count one of the activities listed in the csv rather then count all the activities that match with the csv.
select (sum (kept)/60) from (select distinct rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id as sid, rpt_scheduled_activities.service_date, rpt_scheduled_activities.client_id, from rpt_scheduled_activities inner join rpt_staff_performance_target on rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id = rpt_staff_performance_target.staff_id where
I am using stored procedure to load gridview,i want to show row specific values in coloumns , as i an working on daily timetable of college and There are three tables Week_Day,Daily_Timetable & Subject.Daily_Timetable has data which has week_day,class_id,Subject_id,Period_No.
Each day has 6 periods and each period is mapped with subject in daily timetable.From below sql i am getting 6 rows of monday.
But i want to show in a row weekname,period1_subject_id(Period_No=1),period2_subject_id(Period_No=2),period3_subject_id.......upto period6_subject_id.
Please see my query below:-
SELECT   Week_Day.Week_Day_name, Subject.Subject_Code,  Daily_Timetable.Period_No FROM     Week_Day LEFT JOIN            Daily_Timetable ON Week_Day.Week_Day_Id = Daily_Timetable.Week_Day_Id and Daily_Timetable.Class_Id=6  LEFT JOIN            Subject ON Daily_Timetable.Subject_Id = Subject.Subject_Id order by  Week_Day.Week_Day_Id ,Daily_Timetable.Period_No
I have a requirement to display the total of a Group after subtracting a specific value from the same Group.
Example: Say the below data is grouped on a particular columnÂ
Group Values Month
Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15
A 10 20 30 B 5 10 25 C 1 2 3 D 5 10 15
Total 11 22 33
Formula is : Â Sum(A+C+D)- Sum(B)
What is the best way to Group the above scenario from SSRS level and display the result as shown above. I am able to display all the values except the last total row where am displaying the complete total i.e. 21 Â 42 Â 73.
How do I dynamically subtract the values for row B which is one of the group values.
We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?
I want to ship 500,000 aged transactions each night to an archive table and delete them from their source table in one or more logical units of work (LUW). Each row is approx 60 bytes and there is only one non clustered index on the source table presently.
I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of 3 alternatives. One of them would basically insert the non-aged rows into tempdb, ship the aged records, truncate the table and then insert the tempdb records back into their source all in the same LUW.
For this alternative, I'd at least like to turn off logging when the records get inserted into tempdb as I dont see any value in logging that part of the activity. Is this possible?
Could you guys please help me with printing reports invoked thru command line/ URL access to print automatically to specific printers and specific trays and also is it possible to set the specific printer and tray as parameters.
I don't know whether anyone has this problem, but I am definitely not using the right keywords to search for a thread.
My situation is this...
I have a dataset that has values to fill cells to multiple tables in a report. However, I only want to select specific data from the dataset to fill textboxes and others. I cannot change the stored procedure, but the sample of the data is shown below:-
I know it looks weird, but the row really represents which "row" or textbox is it to fill with the Val. The Stat Column is just a way to make sure that I am filling the right values.
so my new report would have multiple tables to denote different categories. In my first table, I tried putting the cells as follows:- (expressions are highlighted in italics and bold)
I tried putting it into the headerrows instead of DetailRows, and it ended up printing the last value. Is there anyway to do this ? print all the values out in one table ? I tried using textboxes, but I think I got my expression wrong.
and it give me an error The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox5€™ contains an error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'FalsePart' of 'Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object'.
Appreciate any advice or suggestion for this scenario !
I am very early on in developing a website to track issues with projects which is tied to a SQL database. I have my Projects Table, my Users Table, and am creating a third table to track issues. I'm wondering what is the best way to assign specific users to specific data/projects. The user should only be able to view & update the projects assigned to him. He should not be able to see other projects. What is the best way to assign projects/data to the users to make sure they are only viewing their data?
How to count the number of values that exist in a row based on the values from an array of numbers. Basically the the array of numbers I want to look for are in row 1 of table [test 1] and I want to search for them and count the "out of" in table [test 2]. Excuse me for not using the easiest way to convey my question below. I guess in short I have 10 numbers and like to find how many of those numbers exist in each row. short example:
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:
" 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
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?
I am working with a data set containing several years' of monetary values. I have entries for past dates and the associated values, and I also have entries for future dates. I need to populate the values of the future date records with the values from the same date the previous year. Is there any way this can be done in Power Pivot?
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
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?
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.
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
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.
if object_id('tempdb..#tempAllergy') is not null drop table #tempAllergy select * into #tempAllergy from dbo.#temp2 T
[Code] ....
If I were to do it manually I'd uncomment each series line in turn and comment the one I just ran.
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
I developed the following T-SQL query that runs successfully, but I was looking for a more efficient and concise way to do this. Is there a CTE that can replace all of these case statements? I've updated my query as below. Although this sample query works, it's not working for my real data. Instead, I get an error. At the bottom is the error part of my real query.I copied all of the tables from the first query block below. But when I wrote the bottom query block, it underlined in red the words "answer" and "question." It says "Invalid column name".Â
