Help With Insert And Comparison Query
Jul 15, 2005
I have two tables, one called SUBURBS and one called REGIONS.
The REGION table is more updated, but is missing certain values that are in the SUBURB table that i need to create a query for to not only compare wether the value existas, but to then insert that value in.
Here are the table structures for the SUBURB and the REGION tables respectivly

Hi guys,
I'm trying to do a comparison of 2 data sets. Basically what I want is: 'where event date from event number -24 is earlier than the event date for event number -13'
To get the eventdate for the eventno's, I have the following 2 queries:
select eventdate
from caseevent, cases
where eventno = -24
select eventdate
from caseevent, cases
where eventno = -13
So what i'm trying to say is: I want it so that the value of the first query is compared to be LESS than the value of the second query...
Any help please????
Thank you!

I'm trying to put an expression into a view query column. I've already created a column which contains the results of a calculation in the form of an expression. What I don't know how to do is use comparison operators to return a boolean value for display. I'll give some examples of what I'm trying to do, using literal values just to simplify things...
So say I want to display the result of an expression in a view query column, as a boolean value (or BIT), as True or False. I've tried putting the following expressions into the column and none work:
4 < 5: Access converts this to the string '4 < 5' and it's just displayed as a string.
CAST( '4 < 5' AS BIT ): When run, the query displays the error 'Syntax error converting the varchar value '4 < 5' to a column of data type BIT.
Although I'm using Access 2003, It's just a front end for a SQL Server 2000 database. The actual SQL statement containing the latter SQL function is:
SELECT dbo.Tapes.No, dbo.Tapes.Status, dbo.Tapes.LastWrittenDate, dbo.Tapes.Pool, dbo.Tapes.Location, dbo.TapeJobs.No AS Expr1, dbo.TapeJobs.JobNo,
dbo.TapeJobs.TapeNo, dbo.Jobs.No AS Expr2, dbo.Jobs.Date, dbo.Jobs.Successful, dbo.Jobs.RetentionRule, dbo.RetentionRules.No AS Expr3,
dbo.RetentionRules.Name, dbo.RetentionRules.Description, dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionPeriod, dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionCycles,
dbo.Jobs.Date + dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionPeriod AS AgedJob, CAST('4 < 5' AS BIT) AS Expr4
FROM dbo.RetentionRules INNER JOIN
dbo.Jobs ON dbo.RetentionRules.No = dbo.Jobs.RetentionRule RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.Tapes RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.TapeJobs ON dbo.Tapes.No = dbo.TapeJobs.TapeNo ON dbo.Jobs.No = dbo.TapeJobs.JobNo
I'm new to SQL. I think the CAST function is the way forward, but I just don't know how to force it to resolve the expression '4 < 5'.
Can someone please help ?

I'm developing a 2 year comparison rolling 12 month Sales report but am having problems with the query I'm using. Because I need to include every month (whether no sales or not) I have a calendar table named metaDates and each table gets outer joined as a result. (Forgive the long query) Please see below.
SELECT Customer.country, Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid, MetaDates.[Month], MetaDates.[Year], isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) AS Sales , SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS Cost,
( isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) - isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost),0) )AS GM,
'Current 12 Months' AS yearNum
FROM MetaDates
LEFT OUTER JOIN Order_Line_Invoice ON (MetaDates.Date = Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate AND (Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid IN (@GroupByFieldFilter)) )
LEFT OUTER JOIN Customer ON (Order_Line_Invoice.CustId = Customer.CustId and Customer.country IN (@country) )
LEFT OUTER JOIN Product ON (Order_Line_Invoice.ProdId = Product.ProdId)
WHERE (MetaDates.Date BETWEEN dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-11,@EndDate) ), 0) AND @EndDate)
GROUP BY MetaDates.[Year], MetaDates.[Month], Customer.country, Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid
UNION
SELECT Customer.country, Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid, MetaDates.[Month], MetaDates.[Year], isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) AS Sales , SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost) AS Cost,
( isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0) - isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Cost),0) ) AS GM,
'Previous 12 Months' AS yearNum
FROM MetaDates
LEFT OUTER JOIN Order_Line_Invoice ON (MetaDates.Date = Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate AND (Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid IN (@GroupByFieldFilter)) )
LEFT OUTER JOIN Customer ON (Order_Line_Invoice.CustId = Customer.CustId and Customer.country IN (@country) )
LEFT OUTER JOIN Product ON (Order_Line_Invoice.ProdId = Product.ProdId)
WHERE (MetaDates.Date BETWEEN dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-23,@EndDate) ), 0) AND dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, DATEADD(month,-11,@EndDate) ), -1))
GROUP BY MetaDates.[Year], MetaDates.[Month], Customer.country, Order_Line_Invoice.prodcatid
ORDER BY MetaDates.[Year], MetaDates.[Month]
That said the second outer join (Customer.country IN (@country)) never gets executed. It's really a simple concept. "Give me last 2 year sales by month (every previous and last month even if no sales) but only for the country the user is in"
Can someone help me out with this sql statement. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi...
I have a problem comparing dates in SQL Server 7.
I want to find results where date1 = date2.
I am having problems becausing SQL is also trying to compare the time which
is included in the field value e.g. 03/04/00 12:01:32
So even if the dates are equal the time may be different so the results are not shown?
I've tried SUBSTRING, and CONVERT,CAST etc.. and still can't get it to work
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Good day,
I am receiving garbage data from my other department as follows.
I want:
'12/05/03' for example.
I get:
'//'
'00/00/00'
And other garbage. All of which crashes the transaction because it cannot be converted to Datetime.
What I would like to do is something like this:
IF @v_date > '01/01/50'
BEGIN <-- statement will crash if bad data)
Something to trigger a Boolean (True/False) validation of the data.
I want to know if it is even a date before I run it through my block.
Any thoughts?
I don't want to add a new IF block for every bizarre thing they send me.
Thanks ahead of time.
PS - I guess I could just raise an exception and handle it in a block that way, but am still curious.

Hi friends,
How can I do, in one Trigger, to returns if two columns, one of the Inserted and other of the Deleted, are differents ? I used this example:
If ( select Name from inserted ) !=
( select Name from deleted )
Insert Into Log_System
( Key_Mame, User_Name, Date, Field, Value, Table_Name )
Select 'COD. PROD: ' + Convert( char(10), I.Cod_Prod ),
SUSER_NAME(), GetDate(),
'Name', Convert(Char(255), D.Name ),
Convert(Char(255), I.Name), 'U', 'PRODUCTS'
From Inserted I, Deleted D
But, if one of them is Null, then the comparison result returns FALSE.
Examples:
1 - If in the Table are keeped null and the new value is different of Null
the comparison result returns FALSE.
2 - If in the Table are keeped a value and the new value is null the
comparison result returns FALSE too.
Excuse me, my English is not currently.
Thanks !
Rodney.

Hi,
Assuming a table with a column defined char or varchar.
I have a SQL query like this :
Select * from table1 where column1='Building'
It returns the same result that
Select * from table1 where column1='BUILDING'
It is my understanding SQL Server (verison 7 or 2000, I tried on both) is lower/capital insensitive by default when it is installed. If I want SQL Server to be case-sensitive with my char or varchar columns, where can I set it?
Is it at database level or server level I can find this setting . What is the setting that control it?
Best Regards,

Hello im trying to run a simple query where i compare something simple like BEARING to a field in the database using this query.
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND ('BEARING' LIKE '%'+table1.CLEANSED_REF+'%')
Inside the table i can see the CLEANSED_REF field and its value is "000BEARINGBRNG000". When i run the query i get no records returned.
But if i run
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND (table1.CLEANSED_REF LIKE '%BEARING%')
The query returns the row i wanted. Can anyone tell me why this wont work the first way, but works the second?

I have two tables that I am needing to link by the tables date field. In one table the date field is defined as varchar(23). The time for this field is always zeros.
Example: '2005-12-27 00:00:00.000'
The other table is defined as datetime, and it does have the date and time in this field.
Example: 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000
The problem i am having is
2005-12-27 00:00:00.000 does not = 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000.
Because I will never have more than one record on the same date I would like to be able to only compare the date. Example 2005-12-27 = 2005-12-27
Since the fields are 2 different field types, this is giving me a problem. Could someone please help. I have tried everything I know to do.
What I really need is the a way to format the datetime fields date into a string such as '2005-12-27'.
Hopefully what i have written makes sense.
Thanks

I had an application go down yesterday...it was giving a Type Mismatch error and the support team couldn't figure it out.
My suspicion is that a field in the database got populated with a character the vb app didn't like when it renders the information.
I'd like to prove that theory...but the database is large (4gb) and I'm not sure how to do a database comparison to see where the records differ.
Anybody have a script to get me started OR some experience to share?
Thanks,

I am doing this 2 queries, they get data from the same tables in a very different way. The new way is a lot faster but of course there are problems. There are some discrepancies in the results. Both queries produce results with more than 200.000 rows. Second one has ca. 100 rows less than the first one and some of the results are wrong (most are correct though).
My question is how do I find the differences. I did the left outer join when column a.result != b.result (lines are defined by date and ID so they should be unique).but the join gives me problematic results (some are not different at all, some differences are not in the result).so how do I find the differences between 2 queries, including missing results/rows?

As many of you know I've been hunting down a SQL CE alternative / embedded DB that is easily portable among handhelds.
It turns out, that without paying for some other DB, there really aren't any good ones... Unless you go GPL, and the interpretation of GPL that most are using is that your code too is GPL even though you may only Dynamically Link to their app. I think this is likely wrong, but none the less I'm back here yet again.
What I'm looking for this time is a definition of how SQL Server CE is implemented, how it differs from a full blown DB, etc, so I can more thourally explain "why SQL CE" is an embedded DB, and how it isn't the full blown SQL Server that has a bad reputation with some.
My guess is:
SQL Server CE is implemented via DLL. There aren't sockets etc to allow you to connect, and it operates more like an advanced hash on the file system.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, or... send me a link where I can further research. Also, if you have another embedded DB as a suggestion, that's free of course, please point it my way.
Thanks!

var not in (a to g, s to z) in the expression builder to be evaluted with and iif statment
iif(var not in (a to g, s to z),var,"not in listed")
I would rather not have to write this in the SQL statement as a case statement.

Not sure if possible but I need to produce a monthly TOP 10 Ticket Category report which I retrieve with:
SELECT TOP (10) Category, COUNT(Category) AS Count
FROM table
WHERE (DATEDIFF(mm, open_date, GETDATE()) = 1)
GROUP BY Category
ORDER BY Count DESC
Now I need to know how many tickets there were for those same categories in the previous month so I want my
result set to look somewhere along the lines of:
Catagory - Count Month - Count Previous Month
Is this possible?
