Insert Into ....... Select Clause
Mar 26, 2004
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??
Thanks for your help!

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

This problem is being seen on SQL 2005 SP2 + cumulative update 4
I am currently successfully using the output clause of an insert statement to return the identity values for inserted rows into a table variable
I now need to add an "instead of insert" trigger to the table that is the subject of the insert.
As soon as I add the "instead of insert" trigger, the output clause on the insert statement does not return any data - although the insert completes successfully. As a result I am not able to obtain the identities of the inserted rows
Note that @@identity would return the correct value in the test repro below - but this is not a viable option as the table in question will be merge replicated and @@identity will return the identity value of a replication metadata table rather than the identity of the row inserted into my_table
Note also that in the test repro, the "instead of insert" trigger actually does nothing apart from the default insert, but the real world trigger has additional code.
To run the repro below - select each of the sections below in turn and execute them
1) Create the table
2) Create the trigger
3) Do the insert - note that table variable contains a row with column value zero - it should contain the @@identity value
4) Drop the trigger
5) Re-run the insert from 3) - note that table variable is now correctly populated with the @@identity value in the row
I need the behaviour to be correct when the trigger is present
Any thoughts would be much appreciated

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?

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 am trying to write a complex insert statement and not really sure how to get started.First I am building an application to a record label to add artist, songs, pictures, video, and music to their site.Thanks to asp.net 2.0 building the application interface was easy, but now I realize I have run into a brick wall and need some help.in one application, called "add artist album"in this application, you, the website administrator, are adding information to two different tables (artist (holds all info about the artist), album (holds all the info about artist album))I have no clue how to really start writing an insert statement for this.Basically I want to be able to insert the album data (artistid (foreign key), album name and release date) and also have a drop down listbox, which is connected to the database by the sqldatasource connector to allow the administrator to choose an artist from the artist table so that when they add the albem and release date they, the administrator, can choose which artist in the drop down list box to associate with the album and release date data that goes in the album table. That association is made with the artistid because it is a foreign key to the artist table but how do I insert the chosen artistid number into that foreign key field for the album table?
Please can someone point me in the right direction. I am thinking that the insert statement will be something like and insert with nested select statement and inner join included but i haven't a clue how to do this.My table DDLCreate table artist (artistid int prmrykey, artistname varchar (100), bio varchar(100))Create table album (albumid int prmrykey, albumname varchar (100), releasedate date, artistid int foreignkey)My DML for the insert statement so far:ALTER PROCEDURE sp_AddArtistAlbum @AlbumName varchar(50),@ReleasedDate datetime,@ArtistID intAS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @AlbumID INT
INSERT INTO tb_Album
(AlbumName, ReleasedDate, ArtistID)
VALUES (@AlbumName, @ReleasedDate, select ArtistID from tb_Artist where ArtistID = (ArtistID from sqldatasource from the drop down listbox) )
Like I said know I am supposed to have a select subquery statement that is nested to really make this thing work but I do not know where to start, can someone please help me. I hope I have provided enough information.My expected results are to insert data from into the album table and have that data associated with an artist chosen in the drop down box.Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all,
I've got a question. I have an array that I am inserting into a table. The code is in classic asp and looks like this:
SQL1 = "INSERT INTO transactionz (classid, userid) values (" & listOfAnswers(i) & ",8)
The problem is that I want to only insert values that have the value "1". listofAnsers is an array that returns values of "1" and "2". If there a way to limit the inserts to values of "1". Another words, I want to just insert the values of "1" into the table. I know that you experts would say I should control this on the code side and thats true, however, I can't (because I don't control the code side) so is there a way to do this via SQL? Am I making any sense? I was thinking that I needed to add a "where" clause at the end of the code, but I don't know where to go from here.

Executing this statement gives the following error:
Code Block
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "TBL_Debtsolv.Debtsolv_ID" could not be bound.
I think thsi is soemthing to do with referencing another table in the INSERT into command as if I put:
Code Block
WHERE Client.ID = '12065'
The statement executes with no problem. I think I have read in some other threads that you cannot reference another table in the WHERE part of an INSERT INTO clause but cannot find out how I can make this work.
Most of the statement comes from a pre-made report from one of our systems and I have slighlty changed it to insert the data into another database that we have.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi SQL Experts,
i have a strange problem
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.
thank you for reading and helping me.

Hi Everyone,
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)

Hello,
When you rename a field/calculation in the select part of the sql statement, how do you reference it in the where clause?
For example:
Select A, B, (C + D) as X
From test
WHERE X > 1

Hi,
I have a simple select statement that joins a master and a detail tables using a single field. Looks somthing like this:
Master:
Field1 (Unique key)
more fields...
DateField (Index field)
Detail:
Field1 (unique key)
Field2 (unique key)
more fields....
The master has 100 thousand records and the detail has 100 million records.
If I had a statment "Select.....From Master, Detail" what would be the best way to write the where clause?
Would one of the following where clauses run faster than the other based on the number of records in the tables?
Where1:
where Master.DateField = value and Master.Field1 = Detail.Field1
Where2:
where Master.Field1 = Detail.Field1 and Master.DateField = value

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.
what is the syntax for it ?

Hi all
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:
strAddressLine1, strAddressLine2, strAddressLine3, strAddressLine4, strPostCode.
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).
Any advice truly appreciated.

SELECT
LIST_ID,

(SELECT ANSWER FROM VALID_ANSWER WHERE VALID_ANSWER.LIST_ID = VIEW_LIST.LIST_ID) AS ANSWER

Just wondering if it's possible to select distinct results from the where clause?

Hi there,
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?
thank you so much for any help!

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

Hello All,
I have a question about a Select over 2 Tables,
with the Following Scenario (Not all Products (ARTICULOS) haves CARAC's on the CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS table):
Picture of the tables here:
http://www.pci-baleares.com/pantallazoSql.jpg
We have per example 7 Slots (Motherboard, CPU, VGA Card, RAM, TOWER, etc...)
When we fill the Slot with a CPU-> Then we open the Slot for VGA CARD, we do the Followin Select:
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*
FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN
dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO
Ok it brings up ALL Graphic Cards because they dont depends on CPU
Now we go to the Motherboard Slot
And we make the following Select to obtain the compatible Motherboards:
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*
FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN
dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO
WHERE
((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E')) AND
((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775'))
We check the motherboards if they support PCI-E (because we selected a Graphic card of that, and SOCKET 775 because the CPU)
But SQL return 0 Rows, if we do the following Select:
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*
FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN
dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO
WHERE
((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E'))
OR
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*
FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN
dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO
WHERE
((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775'))
It return Rows, it happens just if the Where clause haves more as 1 specifications...
Any solution for it? It drives me crazy :D
Thanks and regards

Lets say that Dealers have ZipCodes, and that a Dealer can have more than one zipCode, and we want the list of dealers that have both 90210 and 90211 zip codes. BUT we don't want any dealers that have only one of the two ZipCodes in question
What I want to do is something like this
Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90210'
intersection
Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90211'
but I get this error msg:
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'intersection'
The following sql is silly, but it does run without error
Select DealerID from DealerZips
intersection
Select DealerID from DealerZips
So I am pretty sure my problem is with the Where clauses.
help!

I would like to do something like this, but it does not work.
Select * from PS_AUDIT_EMPLYMNT
WHERE AUDIT_STAMP LIKE `Oct 15 1998%`
*Note AUDIT_STAMP is a Datetime field
Does anyone have any ideas why this will not work?
Thanks,
Rodney

hey all,
say i have the following function
SELECT GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR2,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR3, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_CITY, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_STATE,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.POST_CODE, F1ADR_ADDRESS.PHONE_NBR, F1ADR_ADDRESS.FAX_NBR,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.EMAIL_ADDR_NAME, F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_NAME,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_TITLE, GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_UNIQUE_NBR
FROM GLF_CHART_ACCT
INNER JOIN F1ADR_ADDRESS ON (GLF_CHART_ACCT.CHART_NAME = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY1)
AND (GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY2)
GROUP BY GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR1, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR2,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR3, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_CITY, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ADDR_STATE,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.POST_CODE, F1ADR_ADDRESS.PHONE_NBR, F1ADR_ADDRESS.FAX_NBR,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.EMAIL_ADDR_NAME, F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_NAME, GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI,
F1ADR_ADDRESS.CONTACT_TITLE, GLF_CHART_ACCT.CHART_NAME, F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_UNIQUE_NBR,
GLF_CHART_ACCT.SELN_TYPE1_CODE
HAVING CHART_NAME='ARCHART' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 <> '' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.SELN_TYPE1_CODE = 'Trade'
AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 LIKE '%" + Search + "%' ORDER BY GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1;
I get errors if not all the fields are included in the group by clause.
what i dont get is why i have to create seperate groups for this query...or am i reading it wrong??
Cheers,
Justin
