How To Reference A Previous Field Alias In TSQL As In Jet SQL?
Jun 1, 2006
My question is simple, I'd like to do something I do in Jet ANSI-89 SQL. Mind you I'm just adding numbers here - they are not actual columns in 'SomeTable'
SELECT 1 AS A, 2 AS B, A+B AS C
FROM SomeTable
The Jet engine evaluates and does arithmetic on the Aliased column names - handy when they contain their own functions. The resultset would show:
A B C
1 2 3
However from what I can tell SQL Server 2005 is not picking this up. Is their an equivalent?
I have a query that shows me a list of what employees that are on site assuming that employee badged in correctly. My problem is I need to know when an employee has two entries in a row that are "In" without have an "Out" entry.
For example, if John badges in at 8:00 Am and leaves without badging out, when he arrives the next day at 8:00 AM and badges in the system simply would show him as in with no record of him ever leaving correctly.
I am not sure how to return the correct result. Can I formulate a query that would display a Who's In list where the previous entry was NOT and Out?
I am doing some calculations with a table and would like to know how to reference a previous row without having to alter the dates in a query at the start of each month.
For example I have to find a percentage change for a series of values. The table has three columns, is based on end of month dates, and the "return" column is the calculated column where the value is. In the example the return value for date 2006-04-30 is Index of (2006-04-30/ Index 2006-03-31)-1.
Date Index return 2006-03-31 6535 .05130 2006-04-30 6949.29 .06333
I'm trying to use an existing SQL table to calculate the labour value of products being manufactured.
I was hoping to use a CASE statement with the logic; If the part number of the next row is equal to the part number of current row and the operation number of the next row is greater that the operation number of the current row then take the labour value of this row and add it to the labour value of the next row - does that make sense?
However, to do this I need to be able to query the next (or previous) row of data in the table and I don't know if this is possible.
If anyone knows a simple way (I'm not exactly a SQL whizkid) to do this I'd be most appreciative of your help and advice.
I have three coloumn in Salary Table Emp ID, Emp Salary , Sequence a1 1000 1 a1 2000 2 a1 2000 3 a2 4000 1 a2 5000 2 a2 5000 3 a2 6000 4
Now I have to calculate the count on salary if the previous salary is different then count +1 else is previous salary same then add +0. so output be EmpID and Updation in Salary a1 = 2 and for a2 =3
Can anyone help me with the query or storeprocedure i can achieve this output counting according to previous data.
I am trying to write a query that will use tables in more than one SQL database (on the same server). How do refer to the table? I have tried dbasename.tablename.fieldname but I don't think that's working.
I have created a job which performs linked server inserts, the job is scheduled to run every 15min. The Job inserts to a local linked server, some data from one of our log tables. That linked server inturn gathers more data from other servers and exports that data to another application for further processing.
My problem is that I need to reference local machine (DNS Name) as a variable which can be passed along with the linked server insert. If I can get the Server name dynamically I can run this as a remote job on 2 or 20 or 200 servers and It will give the log data and the name of the source server.
QUESTION: How Do I reference the server name from within TSQL as a variable.
HI Friends, Can anybody help in this prob with SQL server Enterprise Manager
Prob:
I cannot use alias name spelled same as the table field-name, in a view. For eg: SELECT Name AS name FROM dbo.test if I take this view in the design view in Enterprise Manager, it will changed to:
SELECT Name FROM dbo.test Can anybody help me How can I avoid this???? I need the same alias name with different case....
USE MLS select sc.name,f.field#,fdesc,flong from sysobjects so join syscolumns sc on so.id = sc.id join fld f on f.field# = replace(sc.name,'_','') where so.name = 'dbo.tbl_MLS_Leads_Trans'
I am trying to get the description which is flong and I get the following error message:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name 'fld'.
use Northwind Go select dbo.Orders.OrderID ,Cast(dbo.Orders.OrderDate As DATE)Order_Date , dbo.Customers.CustomerID , dbo.Customers.CompanyName , dbo.Products.ProductName
[code].....
I cannot use the alias field names as part of additional calculations for new columns.
total_Amount and Grand_Total cannot be done with my skill level.
When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 = CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END , fieldname2 , fieldname3 FROM tablename1 GROUP BY CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
Hi,In oracle I have a LAG function using which I could get the previousvalue of a field.Do we have anything similar to that in SQL Server or access?ThanksDevi
INNER JOIN RETS.dbo._Updates U ON M.ListingID = U.ListingID AND M.FeedID = U.FeedID
WHERE M.FeedID = ?
But following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query " UPDATE Property SET ImageList = U.ImageList FROM Property M INNER JOIN RETS.dbo._Updates U ON M.ListingID = U.ListingID AND M.FeedID = U.FeedID WHERE M.FeedID = ?" failed with the following error: "The multi-part identifier "M.FeedID" could not be bound.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
ByPassPrepare is set to TRUE and ParameterName = 0 to variable User::Feed_ID
HOWEVER - following query executes fine:
UPDATE Property SET
ImageList = U.ImageList
FROM Property M
INNER JOIN RETS.dbo._Updates U ON M.ListingID = U.ListingID AND M.FeedID = U.FeedID
WHERE M.FeedID = 11
Beats me - any help with explaining this to me please?
For example. I have a table with fields named "From" and "To" which track drill hole measurements. When I add a new record I would like it to autopopulate the "To" field with the "From" value from the previous record.
Example Recordset Record 1, From=0, To=500, Lithcode=AB1 Record 2, From=500, To=1000, Lithcode=CR4 Record 3, From=1000<- trying to figure out how to auto populate previous record's from value here
Hi Everyone This is the query and I am getting follwoing error message
"The multi-part identifier "InvDate.Account Reference" could not be bound."
SELECT MAX([DATE NOTE ADDED]) AS LASTDATE, CC.[COMPANY], CC.[ACCOUNT REFERENCE], INVDATE.[LASTORDERDATE] FROM CUSTOMERCONTACTNOTES AS CCN, (SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER) AS CC, (SELECT MAX([INVOICE DATE]) AS LASTORDERDATE, [ACCOUNT REFERENCE] FROM INVOICEDATA GROUP BY [ACCOUNT REFERENCE]) AS INVDATE WHERE CCN.[COMPANY] = CC.[COMPANY] AND CC.[ACCOUNT REFERENCE] COLLATE SQL_LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_AS IN (SELECT DISTINCT ([ACCOUNT REFERENCE]) FROM INVOICEDATA) AND CC.[ACCOUNT REFERENCE] COLLATE SQL_LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_AS = INVDATE.[ACCOUNT REFERENCE] GROUP BY CC.[COMPANY],CC.[ACCOUNT REFERENCE] ORDER BY CC.COMPANY ASC
By the way its SQL Server 2005 Environment. Mitesh
I have 1 table with some empty product codes that I have imported from a txt file. And I would like to fill in the empty product codes by taking the previous product code
Was wondering if there is easy anyway to autopopulate a field by pulling a value from a field in the previous record?
For example, I have a table with fields name "Dist_From" and "Dist_To". When I add a new record I would like it to populate the "Dist_From" field with the "Dist_to" value from the previous record.
Hi guys, I need to get a column with the sum of the field "SUF" from table "JurnalTransMoves_1" when that field ("SUF") is ordered by the field "REFERENCE" from table "Stock", and Show the value only once.
The desired result should by something like:
Stock.REFERENCE JurnalTransMoves.SUF SUM(JurnalTransMoves.SUF) Group By Stock.REFERENCE
5752 10 60
5752 20
5752 30
5753 400 3000
5753 500
5753 600
5753 700
5753 800
5754 7 15
5754 8
Is there any chance to do that? Thanks in advance, Aldo.

Is it possible to reference the data in another field within the same table?
Let's say that one column has a calculation, and a second column has a different calculation. Can the third column find the difference between the first two columns?
(I'm wondering if this is possible to do within the Layout View, not from the Data View)

I need to write a t-sql query that will take the value of the previousrecord into consideration before calculating the current row's newcolumn value...Here's the situation...I have a query which return the following table structure...Full_Name Points----------------- ------------Name1 855Name2 805Name3 800Name4 775Name5 775Name6 741etc.... etc...I need to create a calculated column that tells me where the personranks in point position. The problem i run into is that in thesituation where two or more people have the same point value i need thecalculated rank column to display the same rank number (i.e. 4th orjust "4") I'm not sure how to to take into consideration the previousrow's point value to determine if it is the same as the current onebeing evaluated. If i new they were the same i could assign the samerank value (i.e. 4th or just "4").If any one has any insight that would be great.ThanksJeremy
I have a field which has 4 items separated by a hypen. I need to split this into four different fields. Trying tsql down below, works for the 1st but not the next two
I have a table that contains a Ref field and a TransactionDate field. For each Ref field there are mutliple Transactions. I am trying to put together a query that selects the Latest Transaction date for each Ref field in the table.
I tried:
SELECT * FROM tabMediaTransaction WHERE (TransactionDate = (SELECT MAX(TransactionDate) AS Expr1 FROM tabMediaTransaction AS tabMediaTransaction_1))
But this only returns 1 record for 1 Ref field. I need 1 record for each Ref field
I am trying to eliminate a scalar function by rewriting a view. I currently have a structure similar to the following:
With FirstQuery as (SELECT Trial, SBOI, TBOI, FROM TU WHERE SBOI Between 22000 and 22999 and TBOI < 10000), strt as (SELECT TOP 1 TimeOfEvent, Trial, SBOI, TBOI From TU ORDER BY TimeOfEvent),
[Code] ....
What I trying to do is for the Trial, SBOI, and TBOI in FirstQuery, find the Start Time and Stop Time. TimeOfEvent is an integer in milliseconds. Say I have the following data:
TrialID SBOI TBOI TimeOfEvent A 22000 5000 5 A 22000 5000 10 B 22000 5000 8 B 22000 5000 15
So the DISTINCT output would be:
Trial SBOI TBOI StartTime StopTime A 22000 5000 5 10 B 22000 5000 8 15
The problem I am having is that strt is selecting the smallest time period. It doesn't seem to care what the current record in cte is. I thought that by using my joins, it would make it select smallest TimeOfEvent for the Trial, SBOI, and TBOI that are selected in cte. Obviously that is not the case. So, I was trying to add a WHERE to the strt Select Statement such as
WHERE TrialID = FirstQuery.TrialID and SBOI = FirstQuery.SBOI and TBOI = FirstQuery.TBOI but it isn't working either.
My goal is to update the "PriorInsert" field with the "DateInserted" from the previously inserted record where the WorkOrder, MachineNo, and Operator are all in the same group.
While trying to get to the correct previous record, I wrote the query below.
P.S. The attached .txt file includes a create and insert tbl_tmp sampling.
select top 1 a.ID, a.WorkOrder, a.MachineNo, a.Operator, a.PriorInsert,
We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server. Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects? Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2? Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too? Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?
I am trying to read an Informix 9.3 blob field into a TSQL (SQL Server Stored Procedure) and the data type conversion is not supported thru the MS ODBC Driver installed with Win2000/SQL2000. Does anyone know of another method to retrieve this data, or of a vendor that provides an ODBC driver that supports the Informix blob data type. Thanks!
I am using vs 2010 to write my dtsx import scripts.I use a script component as a source to create a flat file destination file.Everything have been working fine,but then my development machine crashed and we have to install everything again.Now when i use the execute package utility to test my scripts i get the following error:
Error system.NullReferenceException: Object refrence not set to an instance reference.
In PreExecute section TextReader = new system.io.streamreader(" file name") In the CreateNewOutputRows: dim nextLine as string nextLine = textReader.ReadLine

is there something which i did not install or what can be the error?
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810 8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760 22810
Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.
