I need to check the value of a column being pulled from an embedded select in the WHERE clause of a script but can't figure out how to do it. The script looks like this:
SELECT
LIST_ID,
NAME,
ADDRESS
(SELECT ANSWER FROM VALID_ANSWER WHERE VALID_ANSWER.LIST_ID = VIEW_LIST.LIST_ID) AS ANSWER
FROM VIEW_LIST
WHERE ANSWER = 'No'
The syntax above works in Oracle but in SQL Server I receive the following error: "Invalid column name 'OHIP'."
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
A bug in my front end application inserted a new line character in string values that were saved to a varchar field in the database. e.g. "This is a string" was modified to "This is a string" where represnts a new line character.
1) I want to write a SQL query to cleanse the data by replacing the new line characters in this field (say the field name is reason) with a single space.
2) I'd also like to be able to create a SQL query that allows me to specify such strings in the WHERE clause. e.g. SELECT * FROM table WHERE reason = "this is a string".

I want to update one table using an aggregate from the other table.
I could just update all rows even if the aggregate value has not changed, but I wondered if there was a way to only update the records where the aggregate has changed.
I tried this code but assigning the name m to aggreate gives an error
UPDATE t2 SET t2.ColumnB = SELECT MAX(ColumnB) AS m From Table t1
I have a Select statement that was working just fine: string sSqlCmd = "INSERT INTO SiloKeywords (Silo_ID, Keyword, UserName) SELECT Silo_ID,'" + Keyword + "', '" + strUsername + "' FROM SiloNames WHERE Silo_Name = '" + Uri + "'"; the PM now wants to capture the internal User, which I have done but I am having real problems with the syntax if the internal User exists:
string sSqlCmd = "INSERT INTO SiloKeywords (Silo_ID, Keyword, UserName, IsInternal) SELECT Silo_ID,'" + Keyword + "', '" + strUserName + "', if EXISTS(SELECT * FROM InternalUsersList WHERE Alias = '" + arrResult[1] + "') 1 ELSE 0 FROM SiloNames WHERE Silo_Name = '" + Uri + "'"; I am completely lost here.
What I'd like to do is use the result of one query as the input foranother. eg:INSERT INTO foo VALUES ((SELECT id FROM people WHERE name = "bar"),10,'foobar') WHEREid = 1;Problem is, MSSQL wants a scalar value. Is there a way around this?Can someone tell me the correct syntax for what I want to do, or is thissomething that will have to be done outside SQL?Err. Hope I've been clear. Thanks for any help you folks can give.
This is part of a query I have. I want to display the diagnosis code attached to a patient. Sometimes there are more than one which is why I have tried distinct. I am getting the message 'subquery returned more than 1 value...'
If I use MIN or MAX, its giving me the min possible diagnosis code alphabetically or the max, not the one actually assigned to the patient which is what I want.
(SELECT DISTINCT (Diagnosis.DiagnosisCode) FROM Diagnosis LEFT OUTER JOIN CourseDiagnosis ON CourseDiagnosis.DiagnosisSer = Diagnosis.DiagnosisSer LEFT JOIN Course ON Course.CourseSer = CourseDiagnosis.CourseSer JOIN Patient ON Patient.PatientSer = Course.PatientSer WHERE Diagnosis.ObjectStatus = 'Active' AND Diagnosis.Description not like 'ERROR%' AND Diagnosis.DiagnosisTableName not in ('RTDS Dates')),
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.

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?
Far below (in section "original 3 steps"), you see the following:1. a temp table is created2. some data is inserted into this table3. some of the inserted data is removed based on a join with the sametable that the original select was made fromIn my opinion, there is no way that the join could produce more rowsthan were originally retrieved from viewD. Hence, we could get rid ofthe DELETE step by simply changing the query to be:INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )AND INMESS NOT LIKE '2__' ---- the added line===== original 3 steps (mentioned above) =====CREATE TABLE #details (rec_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,orig VARCHAR(35) NULL,bene VARCHAR(35) NULL,orig_corr TINYINT NULL,bene_corr TINYINT NULL)INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )DELETE dFROM #details dJOIN viewD v ON ( d.rec_id = v.rec_id )WHERE INMESS LIKE '2__'

i have a variable which stores some values(ID) with single quote (so that i can use directlt inside the IN Clause of SELECT
Declare @DMSIDs AS VARCHAR(1000) -- variable declare,
Select @DMSIDs = '''DMS00046847'',''DMS00048305''' -- for test putting 2 correct values with escape characters
Select * from issue where id in (@DMSIDs) -- valid statment, but does not return any data Select * from issue where id in ('DMS00046847','DMS00048305') -- same above constant value this returns data, but putting the values in varaible then trying fails.
The reason is i have a master table called issue and have another table [delta] where a particular column will store all the ID's of the issue table comma separated with single quote and i wanted to use something like below in my actual application
Select * from issue where ID in (Select distinct delta_ID from Delta_branch where date = getdate()) but since the above example with variable is not returning any data i wonder if such is possible in any other ways.

is there something which i did not install or what can be the error?

Hi, I have a question about Insert into ..... Select clause in a SP. I need to insert some rows into a temperary table in a specific order. For example, insert into #TempTable { ....... ........ } Select * from products order by @SortBy @SortDirection. // First of all, the order by clause does not take variables. I have tried to use declare @query varchar (1000) set @query = 'Select * from products order by " + @SortBy + ' ' + @SortDirection exec (@query) // However, I get an error message because I should supply a Select statement. How can I solve this problem??
Here is the first part of a query for MySQL that I am trying to get working on MSSQL:
Code:
SELECT n.*, round((n.rgt-n.lft-1)/2,0) AS childs, count(*)+(n.lft>1) AS level, ((min(p.rgt)-n.rgt-(n.lft>1))/2) > 0 AS lower, (( (n.lft-max(p.lft)>1) )) AS upper FROM table n ...
But, I get this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '>'.
I have the following stored procedure, I would like to use IF statement or something of the sort in the where clause i.e. The last line in the SP is: AND (category.categoryID = @categoryID), I only want to check this, if @categoryID is not = 12. So can I do something like this:
IF @categoryID <> 12 AND (category.categoryID = @categoryID)
STORED PROCEDURE:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_get_total_risk_patients @categoryID int AS
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT patient.patientID) AS total_patients FROM patient INNER JOIN patient_record ON patient.patientID = patient_record.patientID INNER JOIN sub_category ON sub_category.sub_categoryID = patient.sub_categoryID INNER JOIN category ON category.categoryID = sub_category.categoryID WHERE risk = 6 AND (completed_date = '' OR completed_date IS NULL) AND (category.categoryID = @categoryID)
I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:
Server: Msg 16924, Level 16, State 1, Line 78 Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.
I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?
select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') + ', ' + (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NUMBER') + ', ' + (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'ACCOUNT NUMBER') + ', ' + (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT DATE') + ', ' + (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT TYPE') + ', DocID from ae_dtl1'
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR FOR Select @SQL

Is there any way of emulating Oracle's capability of passing output of user-defined functions in the select statement or better still in the Where clause in SQL server 7.0? If not then could we hope for it in SQl server 2000?
I have a table 'table_list' which contains two columns, table_name and a record_count. This table stores a list of tables and their corresponding record counts.
What I am trying to do is, to be able to write a select statement, that can read each table name in the 'table_name' column, execute a select count(*) for the same, and update its record_count with the result of select count(*).
This is the code in my procedure..
DECLARE @tab_list CURSOR set @tab_list = CURSOR FOR select * from table_list OPEN @tab_list
DECLARE @tab_name varchar(256) DECLARE @rec_cnt int FETCH NEXT FROM @tab_list INTO @tab_name, @rec_cnt
select count(*) from @tab_name
This select is looping around along with FETCH till all the table names are exhausted and their counts are updated from the cursor back into the table.
Problem is that, I am not able to use select count(*) from @tab_name, and its not accepting a variable there.
Please help me to construct the select statement that is similiar to
x=<table name> select * from x where x is a variable and the table name gets substituted.
I have been doing some development work in a large VB6 application. I have updated the search capabilities of the application to allow the user to search on partial addresses as the existing search routine only allowed you to search on the whole line of the address.
Simple change to the stored procedure (this is just an example not the real stored proc):
From: Select Top 3000 * from TL_ClientAddresses with(nolock) Where strPostCode = ‘W1 ABC’ To: Select Top 3000 * from TL_ClientAddresses with(nolock) Where strPostCode LIKE ‘W1%’
Now this is when things went a bit crazy. I know the implications of using ‘with(nolock)’. But seeing the code is only using the ID field to get the required row, and the database is a live database with hundreds of users at any one time (some updating), I think a dirty read is ok in this routine, as I don’t want SQL to create a shared lock.
Anyway my problem is this. After the change, the search now created a Shared Lock which sometimes locks out some of the live users updating the system. The Select is also extremely SLOW. It took about 5 minutes to search just over a million records (locking the database during the search, and giving my manager good reason to shout abuse at me). So I checked the indexes. I had an index set on:
So I created an index just for the strPostCode (non clustered).
This had no change to the ‘Like select’ what so ever. So I am now stuck.
1)Is there another way to search for part of a text field in SQL. 2)Does ‘Like’ comparison use the index in any way? If so how do I set this index up? 3)Can I stop a ‘Shared Lock’ being created when I do a ‘like select’? 4)Do you have any good comebacks I could tell the boss after his next outburst of abuse (please not so bad that he sacks me).
It's a very strange thing! I havea a table called invoices, and a table calle customer payments which has the invoiceID of the payment.
I have many invoices that haven't been paid (so they don't have a record on the customer payments). I know this, as i can for example do: select * from invoices where invoiceID = 302247 (and i'll get one result) select * from customer_payments where invoice = 302247 (and i'll get none results)
however, if i do the following: select * from invoices where invoice_id not in (select invoice_id from customer_payments) I get nothing!!!???
It doesn't make any sense, as I should get at least 300 (including the 302247) - both invoiceids fields are int... so i just don't understand what's wrong?
I'm having this query:SELECTss.subscription_id AS SubscriptionId,s.id AS ScopeId,s.[name] AS ScopeName,s.base AS ScopeBase,dbo.iqGetShapesByScopeAsString(s.id) AS ShapesAsStringFROMsubscription_scope ss,scope sWHEREss.subscription_id = @subscription_idANDss.scope_id = s.idORDER BYs.[name]The select only returns a single row but my database (SQL Server 2005CTP) seems to execute the "iqGetShapesByScopeAsString" function foreach row in the subscription_scope and scope tables. This is a bug,right? The function should be executed only once for each *returned*row in the SELECT, right? I believe that was the case in SQL 2k thoughI can't check it at the moment.// pt
