SELECT 10_to_100
_to_100
-----------
10
SELECT 25_from
_from
-----------
25
If anybody is familiar with the reason,pls share...

Please could you help me formulate a SELECT statement to output a date in the format (Month, Date Year), eg
October, 07 2007. Thanks.
In my program i have function that will get one value from Database.
Here i want to assign the output of the sql query to a local variable.
Its like select emp_id into Num from emp where emp_roll=222;
here NUM is local variable which was declared in my program.
Is it correct.?
can anyone please guide me..?
I have a user login scenario where I would like to make sure that they not only exist in the user table, but also make sure there account is "verified" and "active". I'm trying to return 3 output parameters. UserID, verified, active. Is this possible?
Do I need just a select statement to do this? What is the difference between the output and select statements?
Thanks in advance.
I'm executing the following...
select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

There are about 10 select statements in a store procedure.
All select statements are need.
Is it possible to output only the result of last select statement?
Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:
rowtype| ID | value
A | 123 | alpha
B | 123 | beta
C | 123 | delta
A | 124 | some val
B | 124 | some val 2
C | 124 | some val 3
etc...
where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.
I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.
i.e. each ID iteration will do something like:
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta')
etc..
After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable
Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005
I have a routine that generates an HTML email and sends it just fine, but one of the columns ends up with 4 decimal places for a column datatype of money. How can I get the script to output only 2 decimal places for the amount column from the select statement?

All- I would greatly appreciate some assistance in creating a SELECT statement for table headcount in the following problem:
First, find the schema here: http://home.pacbell.net/eulimi/schema_headcount.GIF
The problem:
Given a person_id (a record in the person table), list all headcount records WHERE:1) headcount.person_id = person.person_id AND2) the headcount.act_session_id belongs to a activity (from the activity_session table) that the person is allowed to attend by virture of the person's membership in a subexpedition.
Note that:
- A person can be a member of one or more circles (via the circle_person table)- Each circle belongs to exactly one subexpedition.- A persons who is a member of a subexpedition (via one or more circles) is entitled to sign up for one or more activities (activity_sessions) associated with the subexpedition.
So, put yet another way, the SELECT command should show, for a given person_id, the list of records in headcount that includes the activities (act_session_id) that the person is entitled to join by virtue of the persons membership in the subexpedition via his circle. (Whew!)
I hope this is enough information. I think the problem would be fun if I knew what I was doing. (SQL newbie here.) I suspect I need several INNER JOINs and a compound WHERE clause.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi AllWondered if you could help me with the below query.I have 1 simple table called STOCKCATS that consists of 2 fields.These fields are called CATID and LEVEL.The contents of this table are as follows:CATID LEVELcat01 <nothing>cat02 <nothing>cat03 cat01cat04 <nothing>cat05 cat01cat06 cat02cat07 cat04etc.. etc...The way this table works is that I have an ASP page that allows the user tocreate a stock category at 2 levels, category level and sub-category level.When I file the entered data into the table, if the user has chosen tocreate a category level stock category then the LEVEL field is left blankand if they chose to create a sub-category level category then I post therelevant category level stock category code in the LEVEL field. Forexample, in the above list cat01 is a category level stock category andcat05 is a sub-category as it is a sub-category of cat01.My query is that I want to populate a simple HTML <SELECT> menu (using ASP),but instead of it being a straightforward 'select catid from stockcats orderby catid', I want to group this list into some kind of order, eg:instead of:cat01 <nothing> << I need to bring back this 2nd column so that I cando a simple IF THEN in asp to indent sub-catscat02 <nothing>cat03 cat01cat04 <nothing>cat05 cat01cat06 cat02cat07 cat04I would likecat01 <nothing> << dittocat03 cat01cat05 cat01cat02 <nothing>cat06 cat02cat04 <nothing>cat07 cat04Do you know if this is possible in pure SQL (I must confess that I'm usingMySQL, but I would have thought the SQL syntax would be the same if it ispossible) or a combo of ASP & SQL?ThanksRobbie

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

This may be a basic question, but defining anything other than a cursoris preffered.I have, as an example, 2 tables. One with customer data (addresses,phones, etc), the other is a listing of all 50 states (a cross referencefor short state alias to long state name, i.e. FL - Florida, etc...).I want to sort the out put by state long name, and show each customer inthe state ... BUT ...the output needs to be like so:FloridaABC,Inc Address1 City, State Zip, other InfoDummy Corp Address1 City, State Zip, other Info...GeorgiaXYZ, Inc Address1 City, State Zip, other Info...etc ...This is a basic heirarchical listing. Can this be done with a singleT-SQL statement or are cursors needed?Thanks in advance."Excellence is achieved through 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried wrapping a DELETE FROM ...OUTPUT DELETED.* WHERE... inside of a select, crossed my fingers and got a syntax error. I thought maybe since the OUTPUT statement produces a rowset that it and it's DELETE could be selected from. Is such a thing possible in the same query or should I give up?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently straching my head as to why the following doesn't work as I expect.
I have Three tables UsersManagers, Users and Bookings:-
SELECT MAX(UsersManagers.UsernameUser) AS UserID, SUM(Bookings.HoursTotal) AS NumHours
FROM UsersManagers
LEFT OUTER JOIN Users ON Users.Username = UsersManagers.UsernameUser
LEFT OUTER JOIN Bookings ON Bookings.Username = Users.Username
WHERE UsersManagers.UsernameManager = 'testPM1'
AND (Bookings.DateOfBooking BETWEEN '01 October 2006' AND '31 October 2006')
GROUP BY UsersManagers.UsernameUser
This statement returns only one username with the hours they have booked in my Bookings table. However the left outer joins (I would have thought) should return an entry even if there are no hours booked for a user. If I omit the Date Section:
SELECT MAX(UsersManagers.UsernameUser) AS UserID, SUM(Bookings.HoursTotal) AS NumHours
FROM UsersManagers
LEFT OUTER JOIN Users ON Users.Username = UsersManagers.UsernameUser
LEFT OUTER JOIN Bookings ON Bookings.Username = Users.Username
WHERE UsersManagers.UsernameManager = 'testPM1'
GROUP BY UsersManagers.UsernameUser
I get two records returned
testUsr1 37.5
testUsr2 NULL
Why don't I get this when I use a date?
Thanks

Hi friends,
I want to select only filename column of sp_helpdb's output.But I don't know how should I do this? Other way is doing a direct select from sysfiles or sysdatabases but as you know microsoft doesn't recommand this way. Also I can select that filed in my application level but it is strange for me: Of course sql server should has a proper way to do a select from output curosr of this procedure,Doesn't it?
-Thanks in advance
I have a table: it contains a list of data belonging to a name, however the field 'name' defines the source.
name |field1 |field1data |
test1 |in |123
test1 |out |345
test2 |in |123
test2 |out |456
test3 |in |123
test3 |out |456
I'm trying to get the data out of the database in a columed format, I would be quite comfortable doing this if 'in' and 'out' where there own field. The output i'm trying to get is:
name |data |data |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
in an ideal world i'd like to be able to have the header the name of the field data - eg
name |in |out |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
I can use - select name,field1data from table where field1 in ("in","out")but this returns each piece of data as a new row - eg:
name |field1data |
test1 |123
test1 |456
test2 |123
test2 |456
test3 |123
test3 |456
