How To Build FROM Clause Dynamically

Mar 29, 2004

I look trough the forum, but did not find any simular problem. Somebody, help, please!
What I need to do is to write an algorithm which create a FROM clause for SQL query, using tables and joined fields, specified by the user. There could be up to 25 tables with any type of join (INNER, OUTER, FULL, CROSS). I know the basic structure of the FROM clause: "from T1 inner(or other type) join T2 on T1.field=T2.field" etc., but the main problem that users can specify tables in any order and I have to re-arrange them to create valid statement.

How Can I Dynamically Build Sql SELECT Using ASP 1.0 Array Concept

Jun 6, 2007

The below code is ASP 1.0 to dynamically search a database and I want to use the same concept for a ASP.Net 2.0 solution. Do I do this in the code behind or on the aspx page and if on the aspx page what controls do I use for the array split? Basically where do I start. It took me a long time to get this old code working, I am hoping it is simpler in 2.0.
Thank you

Build WHERE Clause

Apr 8, 2008

I have a stored procedure which expects one parameter @City

Let’s say @City holds pipe delimited value: "New York|London|Paris"

In my stored procedure I need to replace all pipes with OR operator? In other words my select statement needs to look like this :

SELECT * FROM City WHERE CityName= 'New York' OR CityName= 'London' OR CityName= 'Paris'

Thank you

Build Dynamic WHERE Clause

Hello,

SELECT *
FROM Company
WHERE CompanyName = 'CNN'
AND CompanyName = 'AOL'
AND CompanyName = 'ABC'

P.S I know that above select doesn��t really make sense , but I have a bigger query that would be hard to explain in this topic so I just simplified it.

Transact SQL :: How To Build Dynamic WHERE Clause In Openquery To Linked Database

Jul 17, 2015

I'd like to modify the dates within this where clause to be dynamic, building the date depending on the current year, but everything I try doesn't seem to be syntactically correct.

SELECT *
FROM Openquery(LS_CIS, 'select * from BI_WRKFLW_TASKS where (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and (BI_NEEDED_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011''))OR (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and BI_NEEDED_DT_TM is null)') AS derivedtbl_1
I'd like to replace ''1/1/2011'' in the where clause with something like:
CAST(CAST(YEAR (GETDATE())-4 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) AS DATETIME)

Dynamically Decide The Conditions In The 'WHERE' Clause

Apr 1, 2008

I have a report and in it there is a dataset that of course contains a query.
I want the query conditions to be changed automatically (the 'WHERE' clause) according to the environment it runs on, so if I put the same report on different customer computers, it will act differently according to the relevant 'WHERE' clause conditions.
Is it possible to use a parameter or "solution configurations" (or something else) in order to decide the conditions in the 'WHERE' clause?
Help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dynamically Inserting A List In WHERE Clause Of A Query

Jul 8, 2014

What I need?: A way of dynamically inserting a list in the WHERE clause of a query. (in the form, WHERE ID = 1,2,3,6,9 etc)

Imagine an example DB with 3 columns Student ID, Name, Teacher_ID. (Lets assume Teacher_ID with value 100 means its the Headmaster)

I need to create a list with Student ID's, who are directly/indirectly under the Headmaster. Example:

Headmaster
Teacher 1 (ID 200)
Teacher 2 (ID 250)
Student 1 (ID 300)
Director
Teacher 4
Student 5

In the above example, since I only want those students/teachers under the headmaster, either directly/indirectly, my list would contain Teacher 1, Teacher 2, and Student 1. (In my case, just their ID's, so 200, 250, 300)

Director, Teacher 4 and Teacher 5 wouldnt be in the list since theyre not directly/indirectly Headmaster.

Dynamically Populating An IN() Clause Within An SSIS Package.

May 9, 2007

Hi,

I currently have a list of User IDs (in a flat file) and I need to connect to a database I have read-only access to, so that I can retrieve additional data about these users.

I imagined a package that ran a query something like:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserID IN (<dynamically populated from flat file>).

Can somebody give me some advice as to how I can achieve this (either the way I suggested or another way).

Kind Regards,

Error On Build Solution, If SSIS Project Is Part Of Build

Mar 22, 2006

Hello,

we have automated build on every night. In our solution is SSIS project, where each package is encrypted per password. We call build process per command line like this..

C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (c:DevelopmentX3\X3.sln /build Release)' in 'c:DevelopmentProjectsDailyBuild

Through build process we get a error:

External Program Failed: C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (return code was 1):

We think a reason is, that on build of SSIS project must be entered a password. You can wonder for what we need that SSIS packages are part of our build. We hope that on build process is also created Deployment Utility, if so set in dtproject.user. Is it so? Is there any way to create Deployment utility on automated build process? Can be a password provided pre command line?

with best regards

Transact SQL :: How To Create UNION Clause With Two Queries That BOTH Have WHERE Clause

Nov 4, 2015

I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?

I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....

I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.

Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

Filtering Results In The Where Clause Vs A Having Clause

Oct 25, 2007

I am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.

When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:

UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN

(

SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

GROUP BY TrackID

HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND

TrackID + 'x1' IN

(

SELECT

dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions

ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)

)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.

I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?

UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN
(

SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

WHERE TrackID + 'x1' IN

(

SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions

ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)
GROUP BY TrackID

HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1

)

Expression Defined In SELECT Clause Overwrites Column Defined In FROM Clause

May 14, 2008

2 examples:

1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id

Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id

Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11

if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

2) SQL server reject query below with next message

Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.

Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id

Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

It reproducible on

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

and

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS

If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.

Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

Having Clause Without GROUP BY Clause?

Nov 20, 2004

Hi,

What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?

eg :

SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5

SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5

I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.

Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.

Thanks,
Gopi.
