How To Enter A Check Constraint With Latest Date
Nov 7, 2013Without having to update it every day.
This is so no one enters a value higher than the current date.

Hi all can you help me please, I need the users to be able to enter in a date for a self generating report. Usually I use the @Enter_Date but I need them to be able to enter a start date and a end date
But when I run this query SQL gives me an error message Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Invalid column name 'Enter the Start Date'.
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'Enter the End Date'.
What should use in place of BETWEEN [Enter the Start Date] And [Enter the End Date]??
SELECT [Main Table].[IR Number], [Main Table].Date, [Main Table].Inspector, [Main Table].Area, [Main Table].Violation, [Main Table].[Violation Type], [Main Table].Loss, [Main Table].[Loss Type], [Main Table].Employee, [Main Table].Action, [Main Table].[Action Type], [Main Table].Notes
FROM [Main Table]
WHERE ((([Main Table].Date) Between [Enter the Start Date] And [Enter the End Date]))
ORDER BY [Main Table].[IR Number]
does anyone know how to check the latest updates to a table? like a new record added or updated or deleted. thanks in advance.

I am using the Debugger in SQL Query Analyzer & want to set the value of a datetime parameter prior to executing the stored proc. The "Debug procedure" window allows me to specify the parameter values - but I can't get it to accept a datetime. The language is us_english & I've tried most ways if specifying the date - 01/02/2004, with/out quotes, 02 Jan 2004, as a full datetime, swapping day/month values etc etc. The procedure always fails immediately with: Invalid character value for cast specification.
Thanks.
I have been asked to write a query on SBO.It requires (among other) a reference to a budget, which does not exist anywhere now.It is a yearly budget that changes quarterly.I suppose I could add a table and update the no. each quarter - but will the history be kept?What would you recommend?Also, they require a quarterly comparison (all in the same report) is it possible for the user to enter a range of date (for sales data, for example) and also receive the data for that range only last year's?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just moved from Access to SQL 2005 Express. I have a table with contains a Column contactDate datetime. Under the properties tab ( in SQL Manager ), I see a field "Default Value or Binding".
I would like to have a default date/time entered into this field when a new record is created. In Access I used the Now() to get this done. Any sites that list some of the values that can be entered into this field?
TIA - RR
I want to capture date and time record is inserted to database.
My table got a field called
field name datatype length
rec_datetime datetime 8
what is the best way to enter value?.
CREATE TABLE #Dateissue
(ID int,
Code nvarchar (20),
Datein datetime,
Declined datetime )
[Code] .....
I have a table here. I want find a way of getting the latest date, when the code is the same. If the Declined date is null. Then I still want the latest date. E.g. ID 3.
If the declined date is filled in. Then I want to get the row, when the Datein column value is greater then the declined date only.
I tried grouping it by max date, but i got an error message when trying this out. Against the code
WHERE MAX(Datein) > Declined
An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference. What do I need to do to get both my outputs working?
My requirement is to get the earliest start date after a gap in a date column.My date field will be like this.
Table Name-XXX
StartDate(Column Name)
2014/10/01
2014/11/01
2014/12/01
[code]...
In this scenario i need the latest start date after the gap ie. 2015/09/01 .If there is no gap in the date column i need 2014/10/01
My requirement is to get the latest start date after a gap in a month for each id and if there is no gap for that particular id minimum date for that id should be taken….Given below the scenario
ID StartDate
1 2014-01-01
1 2014-02-01
1 2014-05-01-------After Gap Restarted
1 2014-06-01
1 2014-09-01---------After last gap restarted
1 2014-10-01
1 2014-11-01
2 2014-01-01
2 2014-02-01
2 2014-03-01
2 2014-04-01
2 2014-05-01
2 2014-06-01
2 2014-07-01
For Id 1 the start date after the latest gap is 2014-10-01 and for id=2 there is no gap so i need the minimum date 2014-01-01
My Expected Output
id Startdate
1 2014-10-01
2 2014-01-01
I have to display the last temperature reading from an activity table for all the dates in a selected date range.So if I select the date range from 09/01/2012 to 09/30/2012, the results should look like this:
Date Temperature
09/01/2012 73.5
09/02/2012 75.2
09/03/2012 76.3
09/04/2012 73.3
09/05/2012 77.0
09/06/2012 74.5
and so on.
I am using this to get the dates listed:
WITH CTE_DatesTable
AS
(
SELECT CAST('20120901' as date) AS [Date]
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(dd, 1, [Date])
FROM CTE_DatesTable
WHERE DATEADD(dd, 1, [Date]) <= '20120930'
)
SELECT [Date]
FROM CTE_DatesTable
How could I get the temperature if I did a sub-query here?
Hi I was wodering how to add an OR statment right in the Check Constraint expression.
This is what I am starting with in the database
([zip] like '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]')
and what I want well not exact but this would answer my question
([zip] like '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] || [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]')
Thanks for any help

In SQL Server 2000, I want to apply a check constraint on a column type varchar that it is not duplicated. Could someone help me out with this?
Also, should I just make this column the primary key instead of an identity field being the primary key?
What is the performance difference by applying the constraint rather then just making it the primary key?

I have an existing table with field ZIPCODE defined as VARCHAR(5).
I want to add a check constraint to allow only number from 0 to 9.
This is what I did but it gave me error:
alter table test
with check
add constraint ck_test
check (zip between '0' and '9')
error:
ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN CHECK constraint 'ck_test'.
The conflict occurred in database 'lahdProperty', table 'test', column 'Zip'.
What did I do wrong. Thanks for your help.

Hi, i want to put a check constraint on one of my tables to make sure that a member doesn't get loaded into the same usergroup twice. Could anyone please help me with this.
Here is some sample code:
Code Block
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), MemberID INT, ClientID INT, UsergroupID INT)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3054) -- Member gets loaded twice
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3054)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3055) -- Same Member as the top but into ---- a different usergroup which is correct
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (215489, 376, 2017)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (987512, 345, 2237)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (235479, 333, 1158)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (354985, 333, 1158)
SELECT * FROM @MyTable
The problem i have is that if a member is loaded into the same usergroup twice then the sites crash on the web applications and the member can't get into his profile page.Unfortunately i don't know which one of the 1000 stored procedures are used to access this table so that i could just change the query to SELECT TOP 1.
However i think that it will be better practive to just put a check contraint on the table and avoide the whole problem.
However 1 member can belong to multiple usergroups.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi,
If I diseable a Foreign Key like this:
Alter table table_name nocheck constraint constraint_name
I'm able to insert inconsitent data, then when I restart the contraint like this:
Alter table table_name check constraint constraint_name
the constraint dont check the current integrity of the data,
exist any way, without having to recreate the foreign key, to check the data integrity?
Thanks
In our database we have an indexed field that is using unique values, so in the index we turned on the unique property. Now with some changes we made in the application this value can be Null (could not be Null in the past). When we have more as 1 value having value Null we get an exception of unique key violation.
Therefor we want to make an check constraint the checks if the value allready exists when the value is not Null.
Is this possible and how can it be done?
Sometimes I want to quickly to edit a record in a table instead of using an insert statement.
Sometimes there are auditing columns like DateCreated, and CreatedBy,
I know it can be made as default. for DateCreated to be sysdatetime, and createdby to be system user.
But I just curious to know if there is a way to manually enter today's date and the user in the cell?
Hi,
I am trying to enforce a rule that only one record in a table can have status 'Active'. I'd like to do this with CHECK constraint rather than trigger. I know SQL server doesn't support subqueries such as :
alter table add constraint chk_OnlyOneActive CHECK (1=(select count(*) from mytable where status='Active'))
Is there any workaround for this?
P.S. I tried using UDF like this:
alter table add constraint chk_OnlyOneActive CHECK (dbo.NumActiveRecords()=1)
and it works for insert - I am not able to insert a second "Active" record, but for some reason doesn't work for update - I am able to update existing record to status "Active" and end up with two or more Active records in the table.
Thank you.

I am creating a check constraint on a field (GRID_NBR) for values between 1 & 99. I am a little confused on creating the expression for it (Books online is vague).
Can I use the following expression: GRID_NBR BETWEEN 1 AND 99
Or do I have to use: GRID_NBR > 0 AND GRID_NBR < 100
Thanks!
Before adding a record this must check that in the column machine_id not twice the same machines are listed

Hi
I have a table with 3 columns in it. The ID column has a datetime data type.
Does anyone know how to apply a check constraint on this field so that the same month cannot be entered twice.
For example the field has the following data in the field
26/04/2008
27/05/2008
26/06/2008
25/07/2008
A user then tries to enter the value 20/05/2008, I would like the check constraint to block this value being entered due to the fact that a item with the same month value has already been entered.
Is this possible?
Thanking you in Advance!!!
Hi
I have created a table which contains date periods. It has 3 fields all with DateTime data types. These fields being ID, BeginDate, and EndDate. The ID field will hold a date indicating what month the reord is for, ie 01/03/2007 being March or 05/04/2007 being April. The BeginDate will contain the beginnig date for the financial month and EndDate for the financial month.
I am trying to apply a check constraint on the ID field so that combaination of a month and year can only be entered once, ie. if 01/03/2007 already exists in the table then 03/03/2007 cannot.
Is this possible?
Thanking you in advance!

I need to create a check constraint for an email column/field, where the field must contain an "@" symbol. Does sql (oracle or SQL in general) let you do this.
1. Tried myself:
ALTER TABLE Q_Customer
ADD CONSTRAINT Q_chk_Cus_email CHECK (Cus_email LIKE '%@%');
...but
ORA-02293: cannot validate (C3267304.Q_CHK_CUS_EMAIL) - check constraint violated
2. Tried from a forum: alter table Q_CUSTOMER
add constraint Q_Chk_cus_email check (Cus_email like '%_@__%.__%')
...but
ORA-02293: cannot validate (C3267304.Q_CHK_CUS_EMAIL) - check constraint violated
I want to incorporate a Check constraint within a trigger, based on this but im struggling with the coding.Assuming that is an Alphanumeric field you should be checking what value is in the alphanumeric column from inserted, comparing it with whatever is in the AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl to see if there’s a duplicate and then raising the error...This is my Trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[DUPLICATES]
ON [dbo].[AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @Alphanumericcol VARCHAR (750)
-- This trigger has been created to check that duplicate rows are not inserted into table.
-- Check if row exists
SELECT @Alphanumericcol
FROM Inserted i, AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl t
[code]....
I am having some difficulties to find the documentation relative to the syntax of CHECK and CONTRAINT in MS SQL Server 2005. Can someone points me toward a reference guide?

Hi , I have a table that holds CityName and TownName.This table is usually updated and I dont want the same CityName and TownName to be inserted Again.
I have used Primary Key that holds thoose two fields but Primary Key is an index and I know that using check constraint works by spending less performance then indexes .
So , How can I use a check Constraint for two fields ?
Thanks ...
Hi there,
My problem should be fairly simple. Say i have a small table with 2 columns, employee_id and department_id. I want to create a check constraint so that no more than 4 employee_id can be associated with department_id and the user is warned if he/she is trying to do so. Can anyone advise me on how to do it?
