I have 3 tables.
A "client" table.
A "call history" table.
And a "call detail" table.
The "client" table contains data about individual clients.
The "call history" table contains data about calls to or from the clients in the "client" table. (This is a one-to-many relationship of client-to-history interactions.)
The "call detail" table contains detail data about a particular "call history" entry. (This is also a one-to-many relationship of history-to-detail entries.)
*/
Code:
DECLARE @Client TABLE (ClientID INT PRIMARY KEY, ClientName VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO @Client
SELECT 1 [ClientID], 'Client A' [ClientName]
UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Client B'
UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'Client C'
UNION ALL SELECT 4, 'Client D'
SELECT c.ClientID, c.ClientName
Are we actually going to get a string concatenation aggregate in SQL Server 2008?? I am so sick of having to write a UDF for every concatenation I want to do. I am well aware of all the methods available to do it now, and they are all junk, and the performance is horrible. I'm sure it is a challenging problem, and there are known pitfalls, but its time to address these.
The notion that it is the responsibility of the front end to do the concatenation is pure bs. You don't dump 10,000 rows to your report server when you only need to display 1000, just so you can concatenate one lousy column.
I want to be able to write:
SELECT CustName, SUM(ProductPrice), CONCAT(ProductName, [my separator], ORDER OVER ProductName ASC) FROM Orders
And I'm not going to stop complaining til I get it! (-;
I have created a UDF in SQL 2000 to implement a String Concatenation in an aggregate query. It works fine, but with the large data set I am using this against, it is very SLOW. (I also tried using a Cursor in a SP but that was even slower!)
I have seen several articles on the web about performing aggregate concatenation in SQL Server 2005 using either the PIVOT function, XML, or the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
Does anyone know how much better these statements perform in SQL 2005 over the method I am using in SQL 2000? If it is significantly higher performing in 2005 this may push us to upgrade our system to use it.
I want to create column name dynamically in select list.
create table #temp(name varchar(10), sale int) insert into #temp values('john',1000) insert into #temp values('Mike',500) insert into #temp values('Abhas',200) select name,sale as sale from #temp
Now i want change column alias only , not value. I need to concatenate sale with year value of getdate(). i.e. column header concatenation only, not a output value.
I have a column that has an expression with a runningvalue in it, a "Carrying Cost" for each month. I need to create another column that aggregates the monthly Cost. I can't to do a Runningvalue on the Runingvalue. I can't even do a Sum on the Runningvalue.
I have 10 columns i.e from Segment1 to Segment10. I need to concatenate it with ".". All 10 segments can be null. If any of the segment is null i do not want to show ".". This is the expression I am using
Hi,Suppose I have a table containing monthly sales figures from my shopbranches:Branch Month Sales-----------------------London Jan 5000London Feb 4500London Mar 5200Cardiff Jan 2900Cardiff Feb 4100Cardiff Mar 3500The question I am trying to ask is this: in which month did each branchachieve its highest sales? So I want a result set something like this:Branch Month----------------London MarCardiff FebI can do a "SELECT Branch, MAX(Sales) FROM MonthlySales GROUP BY Branch" totell me what the highest monthly sales figure was, but I just can't figureout how to write a query to tell me which month corresponded to MAX(Sales).Ideas anyone?Cheers,....Andy
I have the following 2 fields that are sourced from an Excel spreadsheet
DocNumber - a 10 digit number PostingRow - a number between 1 and 999
I would like to produce a new column that is a concatenation of these two fields, but the PostingRow needs to be a 3 digit number eg. 1000256153-001 ....
I am trying to get a culmulative Bitwise OR operation on a column by query - rather than using a CLR function.
The problem is shown below:
CREATE TABLE #Operations ( PK INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1), UserName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, UserProcess VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, ServerOperation VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, Permission INT NOT NULL );
[Code] ....
So Far I've tried SUM - wrong results, and STUFF - which doesn't seem appropriate for bitwise operation - neither give useful results.
-- SUM Operation - fails SELECT DISTINCT UserName, ServerOperation, SUM(Permission) AS Permission FROM #Operations
[Code] ....
It may be possible to materialise the permissions each time one is changed (e.g. by to use a cursor ), however I would prefer a query or function or combination to generate the result.
I am importing some data from Excel. I have to SUM one of the columns, and then use the result of the sum to calculate the percentages of each row. How can I use the Aggregate to give me a total of a column, so that i can use the total in another task and use formulas to calculate the percentages? i have tried to use multicast and join, but I get an extra row with the sum, which is not what I want; I want to use the sum for all the data.
I am no expert in sql, but I keep stubbling on this problem:I have a table t1 with 2 columns (a,b)I have a table t2 with 2 columns (c,d)I need to delete all records from t1 which have the same value (a,b)than the value of (c,d) in all records in the t2 table.I oracle, this is simple:delete from t1where (a,b) in (select c,d from t2)because Oracle has support for this syntax. Dont remember how they callit. But this is not support in sql server. So I have to resort to:delete from t1where a + '+' + b in ( select c + '+' + d from t2)Of course, a,b,c,d must be varchar for this to work. Basically I fake aunique key for the records. Is there a better way to do this?Thanks
Can someone please help me with a better way to format the following query. This works, but I know it is hidious.
Code Snippet
select
convert(varchar, processed, 101) as Date, count(o.id) as [# Orders], sum(distinct a.runnercount) as [# Runners], sum(o.total) as [$ Gross], sum(o.fee) as [$ Fees], (sum(o.total)-sum(o.fee)) as [$ Net]
from [order] o join (select convert(varchar,processed,101) as date, count(*) as runnercount from orderitem oi inner join [order] o on o.id = oi.orderid where typeofextraid = 4 group by convert(varchar,processed,101)) a on convert(varchar,processed,101) = a.date
where statemented = @statemented group by convert(varchar, processed, 101) 2 tables: Order and OrderItem. I need the sum of a specific record type from the OrderItem table along with all the other aggregate columns group by day.
How can do this. Because my stored function contains same clause except colums name.So I want to use column name as a parameter but how can send column name and use it like Sum(parameter) function .
my procedure like this:

@YIL VARCHAR(4),
@TEKLIF_TURU VARCHAR(255)
AS

DECLARE @N1 FLOAT
DECLARE @N2 FLOAT
SET @N1 = ( SELECT DEGERI FROM PARAMETRE WHERE PARAMETRE_ADI='N1')
SET @N2 = ( SELECT DEGERI FROM PARAMETRE WHERE PARAMETRE_ADI='N2')
SET NOCOUNT ON;
--I want to avoid using if statements for Sum() function

I am trying to create an aggregate table where the value is a rolling sum. Type a on date 1 is the sum of the values in the main tbl. Type a on date 2 is the sum of values for type a on date 1 and date 2. Is this possible? I have been trying update t sql with sum(case where date <= date) statements but can't get it to run.
create table main_table (type nvarchar(10), date int, datavalues int); insert into main_table values('a', '1',3); insert into main_table values('b', '1',4)
select max(PTR_DATE) from MPR_portfolio_transactions group by PTR_SYMBOL
and this is working fine, but if I add an extra column with another field like:
select max(PTR_DATE) , PTR_SHAREBALANCE from MPR_portfolio_transactions group by PTR_SYMBOL
Then I get an error message like:
Column 'MPR_portfolio_transactions.PTR_SHAREBALANCE' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
I have a specific variation on the standard 'Column Invalid' question: I have this query that works fine:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC , vd.RType
[Code] ....
When I add this second average column like this:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,
[Code] ....
I get the error: Column 'dbo.vwData.Response' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Clearly things are in the right place before the change, so I can only assume that the OVER clause is my problem. Is this just not possible?
I need to concatenate two date fields so they appear in a drop-down list like this: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM I'm using MS SQL 2005 and my query looks like this: SELECT ClinicTimesID, ClinicID, (CTStartTime + ' - ' + CTEndTime) AS TimeSlot FROM Clinics_Times WHERE (ClinicID = 1) and I get this error: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. Can I strip out the date so that only the time appears or is it even possible to concatenate these fields? If so, how? Thanks!
Hello all, I'm trying to combine two columns of data into a third column using a formula on the thrid column. Each of the columns could contain nulls and each of the columns could contain padding after or before the data. I'm trying to use the following formula yet SQL is throwing an error. Can someone provide another set of eyes to check this out? ISNULL(LTRIM(RTRIM([user_Define_4a])),’’) + ISNULL(LTRIM(RTRIM([user_Define_1])),’’) Thanks
I am completely new to SQL and I have some syntax questions. I am trying to concatenate 4 fields and some padded constants to form a new key field to perform joins. The result should be a twelve character field without spaces. My problem is that the current fields use spaces as place holders and I need to replace the spaces with ‘0’.
1st ‘0’ (constant) 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, from [RD_ID] (without the suffix) 5th and 6th from [RD_ID] suffix or replace spaces with ‘00’ 7th 1 or 2 from [RDWY_ID] 8th Z from [MLGE_TYPE] or replace space with ‘0’ 9th 1 – 9 from [OVLAP_MLGE_CD] or replace space with ‘0’ 10th ‘S’ (constant) 11th ‘0’ (constant) 12th ‘0’ (constant)
Results should resemble 0001CQ100S00 or 000100100S00
Col1 Col2 Col3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrews S 93845877712 P Sylvia 9999876669 J Bill K 7657654677 L
I need the output like this Col1 Col2 Col3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AndrewsS 93845877712 P Sylvia 99999876669 J BillK 76576546677 L
The character on the left of Col2 has to be joined to Col1 and character on the right of col2 has to be joined to Col3. Can anybody suggest a query for this.
Hi All, I've been trying to create a dynamic query using the 'Like' clause and '%'. my code snippet looks like this: while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)begin set @likeString = @likeString + ' item_Text LIKE ''%'+@word+'%'' OR ' fetch next from theLike into @word end
-- strip off last ORset @likeString = ltrim(rtrim(substring(@likeString, 0, (len(@likeString) - 3))))-- ================================================-- create query to find keywords in the index and store in temp table-- ================================================set @query = 'INSERT into #resulttable (itemcount, item_id) SELECT COUNT(d.item_id), d.item_id FROM tp_index_details AS d INNER JOIN tp_index ON d.idx_id = tp_index.idx_id 'set @query = @query +' WHERE (d.idx_id IN (SELECT idx_id FROM tp_index AS i WHERE ( 'set @query = rtrim(@query) + @likeStringset @query = @query + ' ) AND (subscription_id = 1000))) GROUP BY d.item_id ORDER BY d.item_id DESC' The problem is the @query string gets truncated. My question is how to get the quotes around '%' variables to work in a string? Thanks for any help! regards Davej
Hi all - I have posted inquiries on this rather vexing issue before, so I apologize in advance for revisting this. I am trying to create the code to add the parameters for two CheckBoxLists together. One CheckBoxList allows users to choose a group of Customers by Area Code, the other "CBL" allows users to select Customers by a type of Category that these Customers are grouped into. When a user selects Customers via one or the other CBL, I have no problems. If, however, the user wants to get all the Customers from one or more Area Codes who ALSO may or may not be members of one or more Categories; I have had trouble trying to create the proper SQL. What I have so far:Protected Sub btn_CustomerSearchCombined_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CustomerSearchCombined.Click Dim CSC_SqlString As String = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CustomerName, Customers.CategoryID, Customers.EstHours, Customers.Locality, Category.Category FROM Customers INNER JOIN Category ON Customers.CategoryID = Category.CategoryID WHERE " Dim ACItem As ListItem Dim CATItem As ListItem For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomersearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.AreaCodeID = '" & ACItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString &= "' AND " <-- this is the heart of my problem, I believe For Each CATItem In cbl_CustomersearchCAT.Items If CATItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.CategoryID = '" & CATItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString = Left(CSC_SqlString, Len(CSC_SqlString) - 4) CSC_SqlString &= "ORDER By Categories.Category" sql_CustomersearchGrid.SelectCommand = CSC_SqlString End SubAny help on this is much appreciated, many thanks --
