I'm having a db programming drama. We have a series of questionnaires;
each questionnaire is comprised of a series of forms that a user must
fill out. A document is produced at the end of the questionnaire. Some
of the fields are required and some are not, depending on how the
fields are filled out can make the document look very different.
My aim is to produce something that lists all the possibilities that
the question can be filled out in. The list of the form fields are in
a SQL Server 200 database table "tblDocPageFields", the structure of
the table is similar to this:
tblDocPageFields
- ID
- Page ID
- Field Name
- Field Order
Another table specifies whether the field is required or not which
contains the fieldID and a validation Message to be displayed if the
field is not filled in.
tblDocPageFieldsReq
- ID
- FieldID
- ValidationText
For example if I have a document with 2 fields and the first one of
them are required the possibilities are:
Field1 Field2
Filled Nothing
Filled Filled
NothingFilled
I need to be able to list this somehow, as some of the surveys have a
huge amount of questions that need to be checked for all
possibilities. Does any one have any idea How I can accomplish this
through a stored procedure or ASP logic or something… Please help!!!
I have a model with "Purchase Date" column. The Model has created the date variations "Purchase Day", "Purchase Month", "Purchase Year", "Purchase Quarter", "First Purchase Date" and "Last Purchase Date".
When I create a report using report builder, I want to list the purchase details by "Purchase Quarter,Purchase Month". The "Purchase Month" being the Integer attribute it is displaying 1,2 3... however I would like to display "Jan,Feb, Mar..." So I tried the following 1. set the Format to "MMM", this displays MMM and not "Jan, Feb, Mar..." 2. set the Expression for "Purchase Month" to "PurchaseDate" and then the Format to "MMM". this gives the "Jan, Feb, Mar..." but it displays one for each date and it doesn't aggregate.
what if you want to search with AND logic using the FORMSOF(inflectional,...) methodology.
if my search phrase is "sport award" I can easily do an OR search using the following in my where clause: CONTAINS(Colname,'formsof(INFLECTIONAL,sport,award). but the and is far more tricky....
does anyone know how to do this without having multiple Contains statements (which greatly increases overhead)?
I know that I can use AND in a straight contains like so: CONTANS(column, '"sport" AND "award"') but this does not allow me to explore inflectional variations on the words...
nesting multiple FORMSOF's doesn't seem to work either like so: contains(column,'"formsof(inflectional,sport)"' AND 'formsof(inflectional,award)"')
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following: Code: If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF (SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB) Return False ELSE Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
I have a select list of fields that I need to select to get the results I need, however, I would like to insert only a chosen few of these fields into a table. I am getting the error, "The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns." How can I do this?

I have a a table that holds a list of words, I am trying to add to the list, however I only want to add new words. But I wish to return from my proc the list of words with ID, whether it is new or old.
Here's a script. the creates the table,indexes, function and the storeproc. call the proc like procStoreAndUpdateTokenList 'word1,word2,word3'
My table is now 500000 rows and growing and I am inserting on average 300 words, some new some old.
performance is a not that great so I'm thinking that my code can be improved.

Hi, I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.
From the parent package-> Execute Process Task-> dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"
Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)
I "sometimes" get the following error:
OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.
Help would be appreciated!
I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.
Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)
The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")
A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.
I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.
The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crispin

PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents @FilterList varchar(200) -- contains ‘3,5’ AS SELECT EventID FROM Events WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList
Result:
EventID ---------- 2
How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.
I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a comma delimited list.
Amol writes "I wish to write a UDF that will concatenate values from each row of a column for a select query. for each invocation of the UDF it should check the callee query to see if its the next row of the current query and concatenate the value or if its a new query start from null.
eg. : select list(name) from employee
will return a "single" list of all names in the employee table as a comma delimited string.
I am new to the whole reporting World and I was wondering if their is a solution for my problem. I searched for one and a half hour and I am getting desperate.
I need to repeat a report. So I thought: I can use a list for that. But when I placed all my objects in that list and linked it to a data source it gives an error at every object. I had this problem before and I made a work around so I did not solve it. I need a list in a list or a matrix in a list. I get the following errors:
Error 1 [rsDataRegionInDetailList] The list €˜list3€™ is in a list that has no group expressions defined for it. To use a data region in a list, the list must have group expressions. c:projectencitrix estcitrixusagedb eportCitrixUsage.rdl 0 0
Error 2 [rsFieldReference] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox16€™ refers to the field €˜USERNAME€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope. c:projectencitrix estcitrixusagedb eportCitrixUsage.rdl 0 0
I have done queries before where you have something like this: Select name From people Where uid in (Select UID from employees where salary > 500000) as an example. I have to use stored procedures, I can't connect directly... I have a datatable of records that I select from a database. In the database table there is a flag 'checkedOut' (bit field) wich I want to set to true (1) for each of these records. Since I have to use stored procedures I think I am limited to passing in parameters. I wrote a function using a stringbuilder to concatonate the key fields into a comma delimited list "1, 55, 98" etc. and thought to use it as the clause in the 'in' sample ie:Update ServiceRequests set CheckedOut = 1 Where UID in (@UIDList)
I have tried a few different things, none works. Any ideas how you might accomplish this with stored procedures? The records are passed to a thread to be dealt with and it's possible the next time it runs it will pick up the same records for processing if the first thread isn't through. I needed the 'CheckedOut' to ensure I don't accidentally do that. Thanks.
How can I get a list of the last payment for each client? SELECT ClientID,PaymentDate,PaymentAmount FROM tblClients INNER JOIN tblPayments ON tblPayments.ClientID = tblClients.ClientID
say I have a list from an sql statement (results list) this list contains 10 items
In another table, in one particular column - there is a match for one of these items from the initial list.
SO... this may be the list _____________________ itemnumber 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ------------------------------
in the other table there is a match... but just for one item on that list. ____________________ othertablefield 11 13 14 3 <------ match 99 78 ----------------------------

With Sybase, easily : Select t.pub_id, list(t.title_Id) from publishers p, titles t where p.pub_id = t.pub_id And I 've got all the titles in a comma-separated string by publisher !!!!
So, with SQL Server, I suppose that if I want the result by publisher, I must imbricate two cursors !!!
Perhaps I dream Or can somebody see a better solution ???? Thanks
How can I implement List on client which represent some SQL query with ability search through this list. i.e. can I somehow get searched record and records near it (in different sort context) e.g. prev 10 and next 10?
I've recently read in Joe Celko's "SQL For Smarties" book that there is a LIST() function in Sybase's SQL Anywhere that will aggregate string data into a single comma separated column.
Unfortunately, this command is not supported in T-SQL. Does anyone know how to achieve a similar result with conventional SQL, where I want to aggregate string data into a single column.
Here's my task. Say I have two tables, tParents and tChildren, a parent has many children. I want a sql statement that returns one row for each parent and the multiple children associated to each in a single comma separated column, i.e
Joe Blow 'Child1, Child2, ...' Parent2 'Child4, Child5, ...'
The SQL with this LIST() function would look like:
Select Parent, List(tChildren.Child) as Children From tParents, tChildren Where tParents.PID = tChildren.CID Group By Parent
Thanks in advance for any help.

Does any one know what command(s) I can use from a SQL prompt to tell me what tables are cruuently residing in a particular database. I'm looking for something along the lines of "select list_of_all_tables from tempdb", which can be applied to any valid db on the system.
I am trying to get list of users on different dbs located on different servers.Currently i get them manualy by going on each db and copy the users to excel sheet.I tried to use sysusers, but i needed status of their account, created . Is there any easy way where i can pull list of users from all dbs from at once.I also need to exclude dbo accounts ans sa accounts if possible
This morning no one was able to connect to the SQL server. At the server, the RAID set showed no activity. I could not bring up any applications. When clicking the start button, it would take 5 minutes to get a response. I connected to the server from a different machine and tried to restart the SQL services, without success. I could access the Event Viewer Application log. All entries in the log read "DB-LIBRARY error - SQL Server connection timed out." The SQL error log listed the following error " Lazywriter: LRU list is corrupt, bhead 0xe50040, bnew 0, bold 0x130bb00, stat 0x1004/0, page 0x1e1608, bufno 0, freebufs 5528, freelist 0xf1bfe0 99/04/10 22:22:10.10 spid2 Lazywriter: LRU list is corrupt, bhead 0xe50040, bnew 0, bold 0x130bb00, stat 0x1004/0, page 0x1e1608, bufno 0, freebufs 5498, freelist 0x118274"
What does this error indicate? We have received this error in the past and have upgraded our RAID controller because. This is the first time we have had this error since upgrading the controller a month ago.
Thanks.
