I'm trying to simplify a SQL Stored Procedure.
The query accepts an int, @ItemTypeID int
I have the Query:
SELECT ... FROM ItemList WHERE ItemTypeID = @ItemTypeID
or, if @ItemTypeID is 0,
SELECT ... FROM ItemList
Is there a way to do this query without doing:
IF @ItemTypeID = 0
BEGIN
...SELECT QUERY...
END
ELSE
BEGIN
...SELECT QUERY...
END
?
I have two connections in a package pointing to two different databases
on the same server. I have to insert records from 'DB1' table 'Gender1'
to 'DB2' table 'Gender2'. Before I do that though, I have to make sure
the minimum value (of all the Gender Keys that are going to be
inserted) of 'DB1' 'GenderKey' (which is an identity field) is greater than the
maximum value of DB2-GenderKey (which is a primary key but not an
identity field). How can I do this simple check? I have to do this process for many different tables ....... Gender table is just an example. If someone can give an detailed explanation on which tasks to use and how to use them (as I am relatively new to SSIS) that'd be great.
I have I rather complex query and need to display a Sum in different ways. Now I'm wondering if the performance improves if you nest the queries in the described way. To me it looks, as if the sum just has to be calculated once?
select SUM(tiempo) as time_minutes,
CONVERT(varchar(5), dateadd (minute,sum(tiempo),'1900-1-1 0:00'), 114) as time_hours,
SUM(time)* 0.95 as time_discount
from table
Select tiempo as time_minutes,
CONVERT(varchar(5), dateadd (minute,tiempo,'1900-1-1 0:00'), 114) as time_hours,
tiempo * 0.95 as time_discount
From (
Select Sum(tiempo) as tiempo
from table)a
I am trying to run a query that checks a column to see if its numeric. If it is, it should cast as a float, if its not numeric it should return 0.
select case when (isnumeric(Ref)=1) THEN select (cast(Ref,float) )
else (0) as outputfrom #table
but its returning an error.
I am learning the Optimizer from the book "Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012" for certificate exam 70-461. I really cannot understand how it explains the number of possible ways to execute a query joining three tables. the pseudo-query is:
SELECT A.col5, SUM(C.col6) AS col6sum
FROM TableA AS A
INNER JOIN TableB AS B
ON A.col1 = B.col1
INNER JOIN TableC AS C
ON B.col2 = c.col2
WHERE A.col3 = constant 1
AND B.col4 = constant2
GROUP BY A.col5;
The book says:"Start with the FROM part. Which tables should SQL Server join first, TableA and TableB or TableB and TableC? And in each join, which of the two tables joined should be the left and which one the right table? The number of all possibilities is six, if the two joins are evaluated linearly, one after another."
Q1: How could it be six possibilities? From my understanding, lets say, if the SQL Server has to join A and B first, and then join C, in this case I can think of 4 possibilities, which are:
1. When A Join B, Left: A, Right: B.
  When Join C, Left: result of A join B, Right: C
2. When A Join B, nbsp; Â
When Join C, nbsp;When A Join B, nbsp; Â
When Join C, nbsp;When A Join B, nbsp; Â Â
When Join C, "line-height:13.5px;">
Q2:Â The section following the previous question says there are 4 different types of join.."This already gives four options for each join. So far, there are 6 x 4 = 24 different options for only the FROM part of this query."
How can it be 6 x 4? My understanding is 4 is only for 1 join, but in our case, there are 2 joins, so it should be 6 x 4 x 4.
Hi again. Another problem though...
Can I make a query in if else statement? For example
int querynum;
if(querynum==1)<execute query1>
else if(querynum==2)<execute query2>
else <execute query3>
There is no problem with passing parameters(getquerynum) from my front end application to sql function. I can manage to do it. hehe.
the query looks like this:
DECLARE @querynum number
SET @querynum = @getquerynum
what i want to do is,
if(querynum==1) Select * from hremployees
else if(querynum==2) Select * from hrapplicants
else Select * from pspersonaldata
is it possible by having multiple queries in conditional statement?
if so, how to do it in sql language?
Thanks

I have a table having CusId, CusName, LocId and TvId among other fields.
I have 3 dropdown list which are are populated with cusid, locid and tovid.
I have added "Please Select" in all the 3 ddl with value -1.
Now i have written a sql statement as :
declare @CusId int
declare @LocId int
declare @TvId int
select CusId, CusName, LocId and TvId
From CustDetails
where CusId = @CusId
and LocId = @LocId
and TvId = @TvId
All i want is if any of the three variables has a value -1 then query should be modified. say @CusId has a value of -1 selected in dropdown list then query should become
select CusId, CusName, LocId and TvId
From CustDetails
where CusId IS NOT NULL
and LocId = @LocId
and TvId = @TvId
Please help me on this as i am totally new to sql.

Hi,I'm trying to construct a query (in a stored procedure) which will have a number ofselection criteria based on input parameters. There are a number of these parameterswhose selection conditions they represent which all have to be true for a row to bereturned in the resultset.The basic query is:SELECT Store, StoreNumberFROM StoresWHERE ...I'm trying to come up with the WHERE clause.For example, I want to define a parameter named @ExcludeSpecialties which if it hasthe value 1, means to return all stores but exclude stores whose StoreNumber is inthe list (800, 802, 804). If the parameter has the value 0, then it means "don'tcare" and all StoreNumbers should be returned.One could certainly argue that there probably should have been an column in theStores row to indicate the store is a specialty store, rather than using a hard-wiredlist of numbers. But the current data schema cannot be easily changed. Besides, thelist never changes.Indeed, there is a Franchise bit column in the row which is selected by anotherparameter called @ExcludeFranchise whose WHERE predicate could be written as:WHERE Franchise = CASE WHEN @ExcludeFranchise = 1 THEN 0 ELSE Franchise ENDand if all the parameters were like this, I wouldn't be posting. Sadly, for theSpecialties test I'm stuck with a NOT IN list.This is easy enough to do in an IF/ELSE block, but there are several such similarparameters whose values may be specified in any combination. This, I think, makesIF/ELSE impractical as the number of IF/ELSE statements to handle all possiblecombinations would grow very quickly.I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this NOT IN list, and it's just that I can'tsee it.Can anyone help?Thanks,-- Jeff

I couldn't manage crackingthe solution. I shall try once again, but meanwhile if anyone couldhelp me in this, that would be great.Thanks.

Hi,
I have the following table in MsAccess
EmployeesA
empId integer,
empName varchar(60),
empAge integer,
empStatus char(1) - can be N,D or S - New, Deleted or Shifted
and the following in Sql2005
EmployeesB
Id smallint,
Name varchar(60),
Age int,
Status char(1) - Bydefault 'N'
I have written a Foreach File package that populates the sql server tables (EmployeesB) from Access(EmployeesA). However i want to check for a condition now.
If empStatus = N in EmployeesA, then insert a new record in EmployeesB
If empStatus = D in EmployeesA, then search for that field in the EmployeesB by passing empname and age and if found, mark the Status field in EmployeesB as 'D'
If empStatus = S in EmployeesA, then search for that field in the EmployeesB by passing empname and age and if found, mark the Status as 'S' in EmployeesB and insert a new row.
How do I do it for each table each row in EmployeesA using a foreach file loop?
Thanks,

Dear Friends,
I am working on search customer information page.
I have 5 search options,
Name,
Email,
Order Number,
Product Name,
Order Date
I am using check boxes, I need to allow admin to enter above information and click on search,
How will I make my query and sends to DB server to pull up records which satisfies where clause:
For example,
Select * from orders where Email = #Email#
This is simple, but I can not hardcode all queries, I don€™t know in advance what different search option ADMIN may choose.
Any suggestion for logic or query make up,
Thanks,
Fahim.
SQL Server 2000. Here's what I have so far. The section of the query I need help with is highlighted in blue.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetByVersion
(
@targetVersion varchar(30),
@product varchar(50)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE (product = @product)
AND
CASE
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
ELSE (targetVersion LIKE @targetVersion + '%')
END
GO
I get a syntax error in the Stored Procedure editor on an equal sign in this line:
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
What I want is this (in psuedocode):
if @targerVersion is blank
search for records where the targetVersion column = blank
else
search for records where the targetVersion column starts with @targetVersion
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might modify my query to do what I want? Any help is very much welcome - Thanks in advance! :-)
Hi,
I'm converting some direct SQL queries into stored procedures. The
original queries have conditional parts appended depending on certain
parameters like this:
Sql = "First part"
If certain condition then
Sql &= "Second part"
Endif
How could I do this in a stored procedure? So far I have made them like this:
IF @condition > 0
Fist part Second part
ELSE
First part
You can see that I have to maintain 'First part' in two locations. What is a better way of dealing with this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I need to implement some thing like this.
I have a query like
SELECT table1.col1
,€™n/a€™ _response
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
This is the query that get the report data for my report. Now I need to replace the second column with an actual response like €˜accepted€™ and €˜rejected€™. And these values should be a result of evaluation of this form
Statusarray[] = ResponseStoredProcedure(table1.col1)
If(Statusarray.count < 1)
Set _response = €˜accepted€™
Else
Get Statusarray[1]
Compare this to Statusarray[0]
Set _response = some result based on comparision.
The _response returned in the query should return the actual response based on this evaluation where ResponseStoredProcedure is sent the current row value for table1.col1.
How can this be done in sql(using SQL Server 2005)
PLZZZ HELP!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Hari

Hi:
In a very busy SQL2000 enterprise edition server with 8GB memory and 6 cpus sp3, I could not install a update trigger, unless all the appl connections are dropped. For this 24 HR running svr, could do it.
then I try to run a query as follows:
if exists (select rfABC.* A
from rfABC inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L
on A.Address = L.address and
A.metro <> L.metro
begin
print ' ---- Yes metroID <> LAMetro, start job exec.... -----'
insert into tempCatchMetroIDGPRS
select rfABC.*, metro, getdate()
from rfABC inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L on rfABC.Address = L.address and rfABC.metro <> L.metro
update rfABC A
set A.metro = L.metro
from rfABC A inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L on A.Address = L.address and A.metro <> L.metro
end
else
begin
print ' ---- no metroID <> LAMetro, skip job exec.... -----'
end
------------------------------
this query hang there could not execute. When I took off the if ... else condition, it run with like 0 second. Wondered if a 'busy' (which updates the IP address continueously) could cause above issues...
thanks

Suppose you have two (or more) tables with foreign key constraints. Myquestion is thus:Is it better to check if the fk exists before you try to perform theinsert or let SQL do it for you?On one hand, if you check yourself and the key does not exist you cangracefully handle it (maybe exit out of method with error). If you letSQL do it, the server will throw an error which cannot be suppressed.On the performance side, you doing the check will incur a slight (VERYslight) hit since SQL will ALSO check anyways.

Hello everyone,
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query
executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part
I have to made a change and want to see it this is possible. The column IDPRT# is used here as MAX. THe user wants to exclude a few of the items which skews the average. Can i also select the IDPRT# a second time? and then in the CRystal reports I can select not =? but will this mess up the MAX line in any way?
SELECT "OEIND94"."IDDOCD" AS INV_DATE,
"OEIND94"."IDORD#" AS ORD_NUM,
"OEIND94"."IDORDT" AS ORD_TYPE,
"OEIND94"."IDPRLC" AS PROD_FAMILY,

Hi All,
My week starts on Monday rather than on Sunday which is default(US, English) in SQL Server and would like to change the same so I would get proper weeknumber and dayindex using DATEPART.
I am looking at different ways of setting DATEFIRST(SET DATEFIRST 1) in SQL Server 2005.
I could set in a stored procedure, but this isn't a feasible way for me because I am using .nettiers to generate by business objects and stored procedures. I need to alter the sp's everytime I newly generate the code and sp's.
I couldn't set it in a function which I was hoping initially. I understand this datefirst is stored in one of the sys table in MASTER DB and I couldn't find a straight forward way to change this.
Can anyone suggest me a way to set the DATEFIRST either at a database level or at a server level(probably by changing the sys table in MASTER DB).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

On weekends I have Integrity Checks scheduled to run. Many of these fail for individual databases because users do not log off and the databases cannot be switched to single user mode.
I have checked Books-on-line and have not yet stumbled onto a TSQL command that breaks the connections.
Is there a TSQL command to do this? If not, how can these connections be broken?
