Two Different Tables, Each With Identical Column Names... Query Help
Nov 18, 2005I have two different tables... one for all Staff, and another for all Temp Staff. I need both to output to a datagrid, and so I need to grab both tables from a SQL query to output to my datagrid, but I can't seem to get the logic right for it to work. Can someone give me some suggestions on why my results are blank when I'm running this query? I thought a simple join would allow both sets of identical column names to coexist in peace...SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName, dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName, dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName, dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept, dbo.StaffDirectory.Title, dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail, dbo.StaffDirectory.LocationFROM dbo.StaffDirectory INNER JOIN dbo.TempStaff ON dbo.StaffDirectory.Location = dbo.TempStaff.Location AND dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail = dbo.TempStaff.Email AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Title = dbo.TempStaff.Title AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept = dbo.TempStaff.Dept AND dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName = dbo.TempStaff.FName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName = dbo.TempStaff.LName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName = dbo.TempStaff.UName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.MDNo = dbo.TempStaff.MDNoIs something wrong here? It just doesn't work =(Any suggestions would be really appreciated.Thank you

Concatenated Column Returns Null
Mar 7, 2008Hi folks,I have an issue with a column I created in my query called Instance.SELECT Object_Id, Event_type, Audience, Subject, Provider, Academic_Year, Start_date, End_date, CONVERT(varchar, Academic_Year) + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, Start_date, 103) + ') : ' + Event_type AS InstanceFROM EventsORDER BY Event_type Above is my query. The problem is because the start date column can be null, it also returns the Instance column as null for that row.I thought it would have just missed out the date and display the rest, but it doesn't.Is there any way I could get the Instance column to display a value, when the start date is null?ThanksEdit: Managed to sort it using ISNULL()

However, the reference to the column name is not recognised with the following error being returned.

This worked before deployment and the other controls which are bound to data using stored procedures seem to work. However, these other data sources are all sqlDatasoure controls.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have found issues relating the to user ID and password which seems to depend on whether the web server and data server are the same machine or whether they are remote from each other.

Stored Procedure That Returns The Next Value In Sequence For A Column
Mar 9, 2008 I have a Column called SaleID in some tables in a Database.The SaleID column has the int datatype. I need a stored procedure that returns the next value in sequence for the SaleID column.
For Example,
If the last value inserted into the SaleID column was 1022 the stored procedure should return 1023
If the last value inserted into the SaleID column was 1023 the stored procedure should return 1024.
If the last value inserted into the SaleID column was 1024 the stored procedure should return 1025.
Also an exclusive lock should be maintained while the the stored procedure is running.
I am using SQL Server 2005.

Find A Function That Returns The Column Width
Mar 3, 2008
Dear all hi,
I would like to create a function that will return to me the width of the column of the table without giving as a parameter the table name. I need it, as I want to exceed my data in this column to the column length. I want to fill the column data with trailing blanks until I reach the column width. The function len returns the length of the data in the column.
I know that If I have the table name I can find the column width through the system tables. I don€™t want this.
Sincerely,
Hellen

How To Test If A Column Returns Null Or Not Using The Reader Object?
Apr 11, 2008Is there a way to check for System.BDNull when I use the column name instead of column index? The column Photographer (in the excample below) sometimes contains the value null, and then it throws an error. Or do I have to go back to counting columns (column index of the returned data) again? try { connection.Open(); using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) { if (reader.Read()) { albumItem = new Album((int)reader["Id"]); if (reader["Photographer"] != null) albumItem.Photographer = (string)reader["Photographer"]; albumItem.Public = (bool)reader["IsPublic"]; } } } Regards, Sigurd

Jan 6, 2006I have a stored procedure like "select * from ThisTable"
I'm doing a dataread like:
Dim val as String = dateRead("column_from_ThisTable")
If the value in the column is not null everything works great, but if the value is null, instead of getting a value of "" which I expect, I get the column name??? In this case "column_from_ThisTable"
How do I make sure I get "" returned when the value in the column is db.null?
STDEV() On Float Column Returns Incorrect Values
Nov 8, 2007STDEV() gives incorrect values with reasonable input.
I have a table filled with GPS readings. I've got a column LATITUDE (FLOAT) with about 20,000 records between 35.6369018 and 35.639890. (Same value to the first 5 digits of precision---what can i say, it's a good gps.)
Here's what happens when I ask SQL Server ("9.00.1399.06 (IntelX86)") to compute the standard deviation of the latitude:
// Transact-SQL StdDev function:
SELECT STDEV(LATITUDE) FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE STATTIME BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
0
// Zero. ZERO??!?!!
//Let's re-implement Std Dev from the definition using other aggregate functions:
DECLARE @AVERAGE FLOAT;
SELECT @AVERAGE = AVG(LATITUDE) FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
SELECT SQRT(SUM(SQUARE((LATITUDE - @AVERAGE)))/COUNT(LATITUDE)) FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
6.03401924005392E-06
// That's better. Maybe STDEV is using fixed point arithmetic?!?
SELECT STDEV(10 * LATITUDE)/10 FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
4.77267753808509E-06
SELECT STDEV(100 * LATITUDE)/100 FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
1.66904329068838E-05
SELECT STDEV(1000 * LATITUDE)/1000 FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
8.11904280806654E-06
// The standard deviation should, of course, be linear, e.g.
DECLARE @AVERAGE FLOAT;
SELECT @AVERAGE = AVG(LATITUDE) FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
SELECT SQRT(SUM(SQUARE(100*(LATITUDE - @AVERAGE)))/COUNT(LATITUDE))/100 FROM GPSHISTORY
WHERE GPSDATE BETWEEN '2007-10-23 11:21:00.859' AND '2007-10-23 17:00:00.062' AND GPSDEVICEID = 0x004A08BC04050000;
6.03401924005389E-06
// Std Dev is a numerically stable computation, although it does require traversing the dataset twice.
//
// This calculation is not being done correctly.
//
// Incidently, SQRT(VAR(Latitude....)) gives 4.80354E-4, which is also way off.
I will redefine STDEV to use a stored procedure similar to the above, but the algorithm used to compute VAR, STDEV etc should be reviewed and fixed.

Linq Question: Select Returns A DBNULL For An Integer Column
Feb 21, 2008I have quite a few tables which allow NULL values. I have to struggle a lot with DBnull Exceptions :|example: col1,col2,... are all columns of type Integer and possibly NULL. var query = from person in table select new { person.col1, test = (int?) person.col2, person.col3, person.col4, ...}; As soon as my result encounters a DBNull value.. the whole query fails. This is really bad.How would I return the valid values.. and set the keys where there is no value to a null type? (e.g. int -> 0)I tried using "(int?)" but I'm not *really* sure what it does :-) Anyway.. it has no effect :-)
View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem With MSAccess And Executing A DTS Package Via VBA - Returns Column Headings Only
Jan 31, 2007I wonder if anyone can help with this. I have searched around and not found much on the topic which can resolve my problem.
History on the reason for using VBA and not C# or VB or VB.net etc. Whn I arrived at this company, there were no development tools so had to resort to Access and VBA. Of course, the routines I wrote are now set in production and I haven't had much time to convert them to c# and ASP.NET (which I have learnt over the past couple of years).
Anyway the problem is that I found on the SQLDTS.com site that I could in fact create and execute DTS packages within VB and followed the examples and got this working in VBA. Of course I created the DTS first and then saved it as VB, then used the resulting code with the VBA project etc etc. This worked well and we were happy.
The DTS packages I create and execute are to export data from SQL2000 tables to tabs in Excel spreadsheets.
Now I find that on my machine, when the objPkg.execute command runs, the Excel file is created but only the query column headings are populated into the excel file. No data is returned.
If I run this on a different machine it works (although having said that, the other machine is now starting to display similar behaviour on some routines).
we created a version of the Access 2000 MDB in Access 2003 some time ago and the Access 2000 still behaves correctly. The strange thing is that my machine has only started doing this incorrectly a little while ago (not sure how long now but could be as little as a couple of months). The routines are monthly processes so it's only going to show up as a problem once a month so the fact that it used to work on my machine and has only failed the last couple of times means that something must have changed on my setup. I am runningXP-Pro SP2 - fully patched, Office Pro 2003 and talking to SQL 2000 SP3a
is it possible that some windows updates or office updates are clobbering something which used to work?
If I allow the VBA to create the DTS but not execute it, I can execute the created DTS manually from SQLEM and it outputs data correctly.
No security access to the SQL databases/table has changed, nor have there been any changes to security on the file system where the files are written.
It's weird.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Transact SQL :: Table Valued Function Returns Nothing When Single Column Selected
Apr 21, 2015We run std 2008 r2. I haven't looked at my friend's function closely yet bur he showed me that when he selects from the function with one column and the same where clause he uses on same func with select *, he gets no data under the column he requested.Â
But when he selects * he gets a single row.
I took a peek and see a bunch of left joins followed by a bunch of outer applies in his func. I suppose (thinking out load) if anything random like the order of rows returned or sql decisions on how query runs can affect his function, that might explain it. Â
Make Tablix Column Group Show When Filter Returns No Rows
May 20, 2008I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears.
Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
Am I just missing a simple option?

Column Names
Dec 27, 2005At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Dynamic Column Names In A SP

If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance
