For example:
Select * From Customers Where CustomerName = "Tom" and CustomerLocation = @Location
I know MS Access you can use a "*" to retrieve all records when there is a parameter. What does SQL Sever query use to retrieve all record?
I have two tables:
1. tblProducts
columns: ProductID, ProductName
2. tblProductCodes
columns: ProductID, CustomerID, ProductCode
The 2nd table is for storing product codes for customers, in other words, one product can have different ProductCode for different customers. But some customers do not have ProductCode for a ProductID.
I want to create a query to return all the Products and its ProductCode (null is valid) for a specific customer.
I tried:
SELECT dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductCode, dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID,
dbo.tblProducts.ProductName,
dbo.tblProducts.ProductID
FROM dbo.tblProducts LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tblProductCodes ON dbo.tblProducts.ProductID = dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductID
WHERE dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID = 2
But the query left out all products that does not have ProductCode value in tblProductCodes table for CustomerID = 2. I want all the ProductName returned from query and render null or empty string for ProductCode value if the code does not exist in tblProductCodes table for the customer.
Any help is highly appreciated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to run a SQL statement whereby i return the ID of any employee's Director.
The database for employees has a reports to field which enables me to see the hierarchy of managers above any employee.
There is also a IsDirector flag that indicates a director.
So essentially i want to run sql that would return the first instance of a director in the hierarchy above any employee.
eg if A reports to B and B reports to C (who is a director) then it returns C.
I basically want the script to run until a director is found.
how would i do this?
Using MSSQL 2008 R2
Given the following table
Code:
{ID, PropClass, OffSet, Amount}
{1, 1, 1, .30}
{2, 1, 2, .45}
{3, 1, 3, .50}
{4, 2, 1, .26}
{5, 2, 2, .15}
If I know the exact offset I can query easily enough using PropClass and the exact offset. But what if the offset is not included in the range for a given PropClass? How can I get a query to return the last valid record for a given PropClass from within a join?
For example, if my query contained PropClass = 1 and offset = 4, it should return the Amount of .50 from Record with ID 3
This is a query that I am trying to work on:
Code:
SELECT v.District, v.PropClass, YearAquired, SUM(cost * cnt), SUM(v.Cost * v.Cnt * t.Amount), SUM(v.Tax), COUNT(*)
FROM UPValue v
INNER JOIN UPMaster m on m.Year = v.year and m.Account = v.account
INNER JOIN UPTable T on t.PropClass = v.PropClass and t.Offset = v.Year - v.YearAquired
WHERE v.Year = 2012 and LeaseType = 2
group by v.District, v.PropClass, YearAquired
order by v.District, v.PropClass
Using <= will not work because that would return multiple records from UPTable when the offset is < the max offset.
I'm trying to return the total records with my query, but I'm getting the following error:
"Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal."
Here's my query:

I am a SQL newbie trying to create a registration page. The registration data is stored in "tblUsers," and the username is stored in the field named "UID" -- which is the primary key. If the user enters a username that already exists in the database, I want to return the "That username already exists" message and keep them on the registration page. If the username doesn't exist, I want to write all their registration info to the database.
I tried the code below using both an existing username and then using a username that didn't exist. Both times I got the "that username already exists" error message on the top of the confirmation page, and the record was not written to the database.
I also tried changing the "If objRec.RecordCount <> 0" to "If objRec.RecordCount >0" I got it to write to the database if the username didn't exist, but if the username did exist, I got the microsoft error '80040e14' (The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values...)
Thanks for any help.

I have a Orders and OrderDetails table having the columns listed below:
Orders (OrderID, OrderDate, CustomerID, ...)
OrderDetails (OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice, Quantity, ...)
Now, I want to obtain monthly sales from the data in the two tables by passing in a Year parameter. How to develop such a stored procedure? I have no idea where to get started. I was thinking to call a SELECT statement on each month. But, things trouble me are:
1. how to loop through each month to make a SELECT query for each month for a given Year? Use a cursor or what?
2. how to determine month boundary for a given year and construct the where clause on OrderDate using the month boundary for the SELECT query ? What happens if it is a leap year?
3. how to stop processing for the rest of the year when last order month is done?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a SQL database with an Access front end. In the database Ihave a read only and a read write role. When a read only user opensthe database I want all the fields on the form to be locked so thatthe user will not try to change data and get an error from the server.Right now I am doing that with a table. But it's a hassle to have tomaintain a table when if I could answer the question is the currentlylogged in user in the read write role?My server is running SQL Server 2000. So I was wondering if I couldwrite a function to do this? The function would take the role beingchecked as a text parameter and return true if the currently logged inuser is in that role or false if he/she isn't.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a classic ASP application that records all logging of userlogins on our support site. The logging is a rolling window of how manypeople have logged in for a given month, i.e. tracked by a 'lastlogin'field so the tracking is done in a date range. So, for the month ofJanuary I would record lastlogin dates between January 1 and January31. My question is this...on the last day of the month (example beingJanauary)at 23:59:59PM I want to write the total number of users thathad a lastlogin date within the month of January and write that totalnumber to another table so I have a point-in-time figure for Januarylogins and how many users logged in in the month of January.

Is there a way in the T-SQL to force it to break lines neatly?
Is there a way to force it to a specific file name or directory?
Is there a SQL command that returns every other result or every 3rd result. The reason being is i am using the data to plot a graph with many thousands of points, it would be useful if not every result was return. I.e. too much data to fit within the screens resolution.

Is there a t-sql shortcut/ quick way to return the full max record.
So basically if I had:
prog_area glh description
HS 200 health and social care
EN 300 engineering
HS 400 health care
EN 250 engineering and construction
so grouping by prog_area and taking max glh would return appropriate descriptions like:
HS 400 health care
EN 300 engineering
This is quite a simple example and I would be using it on much larger datasets. I know how to do it by doing a join to itself with max glh but it seems to me there should be an easier way to return the appropriate full record set. Hopefully somethin fast in t-sql

Is it possible the existence of a return parameter on an SP runninginsert statements would cause blocking to happen (any removing itmight help eliminate it?)The SPs in question have three INSERT INTO statements using an@@IDENTITY to help populate the second and third tables based on thePK of the newly inserted record in the first INSERT INTO Statement.I have recently stared to receive timeout errors in a multi-userenviroment and wonder if that's part of the cause. In thisenvironment, users are requerying a table that is also being writtento. The writes are infrequent but the reads of that table are veryfrequent.On the read side I have added Select from TableX WITH (READPAST)...On the write side I have elimnated the return parameters. I'm hopingthese two approaches help.Help is greatly appreciated.lq

Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {
wsCon.close();
}
