Help Me Create A SQL Statement
Oct 27, 2005
I have a database that is far from being rational! I need to query the tables to get a hierarchy resultset. Here is the structure:levelOne levelOne_A levelTwo levelThree levelFourmy problem is that table levelOne_A and table levelTwo have data that are considered to fall underneath levelOne. However the data is far different from each other so I can not able merge both into one.so the it should look like this:levelOne levelOne_A AND levelTwo levelThree levelFourAny ideas how I can get my hierarchy structure?Thanks for your help!

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

I'm using SQL Server 2012 for my databases.
Now I'm trying to write a search module. Therefore I have to create a view, with all datas to make it easy for searching. Unfortunately I have a table, which creates a tree (let's say, it's a navigation tree). For the view, I like to have the navigation as a path:
/Main/FirstSub/SecondSub
My navigation tbl looks like this:
Code:
IDParentIDText
10Main
20otherMain
[Code]....

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server and need your help.
I have a table (old_table) with about 500 columns and each column of type varchar. I have to generate a table (new_table) which has all the columns of the old table but with different data types.
Is there a way I can use the syscolumns to generate a “create table� statement?
Thanks.

Hi.
I was wondering if I could have a query like this:
CREATE USER 'Firstname Lastname' FOR LOGIN 'DOMAINuser' WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
The combination of firstname and lastname does not seem to work.
I have been using:
sp_grantdbaccess 'DOMAINuser', 'Firstname Lastname'
but i cannot specify DEFAULT_SCHEMA with that sp.
Any suggestions?

Hi!
I have a select question that look like this:
DECLARE @ID uniqueidentifier;
SET @ID = '40bd3052-60f4-414a-99df-ca882c128493';
SELECT
rp.ID AS ReportPackId
,rp.SupplierPartyIdentifier AS SupplierPartyIdentifier
,rpap.AdditionalPartyIdentifier AS AdditionalPartyIdentifier
FROM
ReportPack rp
INNER JOIN ReportPackAdditionalParty rpap
ON rpap.fk_ReportPack = rp.ID
WHERE rp.ID = @ID
The result a get when running the select question is:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId2
My problem is that the result I want is the following:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
addPartyId2
I always know that the ReportPackId and SupplierPartyIdentifier will be identical for all rows because of the Where condition, and therefore I want all AdditionalPartyIdentifiers to be in columns instead of a new row. Is this possible?

I am creating a web application that uses a using a web service to get data for my reports. Since the webservice only accepts 1 parameter called "sql" (the sql select statement), I am using the report's query string to get the data.
Here is the data source and dataset info I am using:
DataSource
Name: WebService
Type: XML
Connection string: http://localhost/myWeb/myWebService.asmx
Credentials: No credentials
DataSet
Query tab:
Name: WebService
Data source: WebService
Command type: Text
Query String: <Query><SoapAction>......</SoapAction></Query>
Here is a sample of the <Query> string that I use when I first build the report:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/GetDataset</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/" Name="GetDataset">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="sql" Type="String">
<DefaultValue>Select * From Customers</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetDatasetResponse{}/GetDatasetResult{}/diffgram{}/NewDataSet{}/Results</ElementPath>
</Query>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the user selects a report in the web application, they are prompted for information about the sql statement, and then I can rebuild the <Query> xml fragment, substituting the new sql statemet for the default one. for example, the statement "Select * From Reports" would be replaced with "Select * From Customers where LN = 'Smith'".
Then I want to attach that new <Query> statement to the report and run it. How can I set this information in the report? I can't find anything that talks about it, but there must be some way!
Thanks in advance for your help!

I know the word 'With' is a SQL Reserved; I created a SQL Script Generator that creates insert statements to copy data from one SQL Server database to another. If a row contains the word 'with' or 'With' the insert statement fails. Is there a way around this? The script is executed in the Query Analyzer window of SQL Server.
The record below is an example of a row that fails.
Insert Into [Contact] ([Active],[AddressID],[Birthday],[Birthmonth],[ContactType],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate],[Description],[Employed],[FirstName],[HasResume],[LastName],[MiddleName],[ModifiedBy],[ModifiedDate],[Personality],[RowVersion])
Values ('False', 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, '', 'Wants to get back with Van Halen', 'False', 'David', 'False', 'Roth', 'Lee', '', '', '', '')
The error message shown is:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
Thank you,

Hi,
I have a problem with CREATE DATABASE statement, since it needs to specify the absolut path for a file in the FILENAME= option. I would need instead a relative path, i.e. only the name of the file because the script that launch this SQL command is dependant on the installation path decided by the user, during the installation.
Is there a way to pass to the FILENAME only the name of the file?
Hope to have been clear :-)
Thanks in advance

In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
BTW - this would be a stored procedure...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I am trying to create a view with approx. 3000 columns... and got the following error message:
"CREATE VIEW failed because column 'HSEPRIN' in view 'MyTestView' exceeds the maximum of 1024 columns.
Is it mean the max number of columns for each table is 1024? I thought in SQL server the table can contain as much information as possible.
Anyone can help to answer my question?
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding a locking scheme in MSSQL I hope you guys can help. In Sybase, I am able to specify datarow locking in DDL (ex. create table, alter table). Can I do the same in MSSQL or is there an equivalent option in CREATE TABLE statement in MSSQL? I came across a few articles in MSDN about datarow locking and it seems to me that MSSQL only allows locking through DML... Is that true? Thanks.

What I'm trying to do is this;
I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to
SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt
FROM GLTable
WHERE Year <= varYear
varYear being a variable which is each year from a query
SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable
My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.
What I have done is to defined two variables as follows
Name: varYear (this will hold the year)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]
I've created a SQL Task as follows
Result set: Full Result Set
Connection Type: OLE DB
SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable
Result Name: 0
Variable Name: User::varYear
Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear
Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table
I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows
Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable
Variable Name: User::varYear
However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."
and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".
I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Bill

Hi!
I need to expand resursion level for resursive CTE expression within CREATE FUNCTION statement for inline table function to a value greater than default. It turns out that OPTION clause for MAXRECURSION hint perfectly works if I use it outside CREATE FUNCTION (as well as CREATE VIEW for non-parametrized queries), but it does not within CREATE FUNCTION statement - I'm getting error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure ExpandedCTE, Line 34
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'option'.
Here is the function:
create FUNCTION [dbo].[ExpandedCTE]
(
@p_id int
)
RETURNS TABLE

RETURN
(

as

union all
select
t.id, t.tbl_id, lvl + 1

inner join tbl t
on rnr.tbl_id = tbl_cte.id
)
select

option (maxrecursion 0)
)
Please help!

I'm really sorry if it is about syntax, but I could not find it in the documentation.

I'm trying to create a WHERE statement that will calculate values from our current fiscal year to the last complete month.I'm using code that was created for us that does the calculations for our entire fiscal years. I thought I had fixed the WHERE statement to work like we wanted last year, but it appears to be broken now after trying it again in January and February. I'm guessing my WHERE statement only works for March and up, but how to get it to work for every month. Most attempts I'm trying it's just returning very large and inaccurate values.
I included my WHERE statement below of what I originally had that worked last year. The @BeginYear/Month/etc are retrieved from a different table and @Month is just set to MONTH(GETDATE())-1.
WHERE
(YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@BeginYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@BeginMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@Month)
OR
(YEAR(SA3.DocumentDate)=@EndYear AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)<=@EndMonth AND MONTH(SA3.DocumentDate)>=@Month)

SSIS Newbie Question:
I have a simple Control Flow setup that checks to see if a particular table exists. If the table does not exists, the table is created in an alternate path, if it does exist, the table is truncated before moving to a file import Data Flow that uses an OLE DB Destination to output the imported data.
My problem is, that I get OLE DB package errors if the table the OLE DB Destination Container references does not exist when I load the package.
How can I over come this issue? I need to be able to dynamically create the table in an earlier step, then use that table to import data into in a later step in the workflow.
Is there a switch I can use to turn off checking in the OLE DB Destination Container so that it will allow me to hook up the table creation step?
Seems like this would be a common task...
Steps:
1. Execute SQL Task to see if the required table exists
2. Use expresions to test a variable to check the results of step 1
3. If table exists, truncate the table and reload it from file in Data Flow using OLE DB Destination
4. If table does not exist, 1st create it, then follow the normal Data Flow
Can someone help me with this?
