in my count function,my code look like,
 set buyerset as exists(dimcustomer.leval02.allmembers,custoertypeisRetailers,"Sales")
set saleset(buyerset)
set custdimensionfilter as {custdimensionmemb1,custdimensionmemb2,custdimensionmemb3,custdimensionmemb4}
set finalset as exists(salest,custdimensionfilter,"Sales")
Set ProdIP as dimproduct.dimproduct.prod1
set Othersset as (cyears,ProdIP)
(exists(([FINALSET],Othersset,dimension2.dimension2.item3),[DimCustomerBuyer].[ParentPostalCode].currentmember, "factsales")).count
it will take 12 to 15 min to execute.
Is there a string handling function is SQL which will return the length of the contents of a field?

update vendor_invoice
set de_ftpdownload= (select SUBSTRING(de_ftpdownload,1,CHARINDEX('.',de_ftpdow nload,0)-1)as de_ftpdownload from vendor_invoice)
where vendor_invoice_id =931
This get me this error.... so what is the max allowable length of substring function.
Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.
The statement has been terminated.

I know that system_user can return different types of usernames based on the authentication method used to connect to the database. I am trying to nail down a standard field width for audit columns that store the return value from system_user but I can't find definitive information about the return type of the function. Does anyone know the maximum length of the return value from the system_user function and if its an nvarchar, varchar, nchar, etc.?
Thanks.
Does anyone know what the above error message means?

Hi,
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************
I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
€œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori

 INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
  SELECT TOP 100 *

I am getting Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function.
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error:
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Here's the code in question:
orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)
...
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader)
If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
I'm running into this error message when passing in a few records in particular to a function, the only difference I could find is that these recods have about 60k characters on the field that I'm passing to a function.
is there a max lenght for passing to a function?
select function ( field) as results
It's been working fine until today and all of the related fields are declared as nvarchar(max)
Thank you.
Dear all,
I have a table with the the following columns:
ProductCode varchar(50) PK,
ProductType varchar(50),
ProductCategory varchar(50),
InStock (bit),
Locked (bit)
What I want to do is to query this table to return me a list of product type and category, and the total number of products in each category, and the count of number of instock, and locked.
i.e. Type, Category, TotalCount, NumberInStock, NumberNoStock, NumberLocked, NumberUnlocked.
How do I do this in a query?
Any help is very much appreciated.

How can know I how may records are there in a table with out using count(*)
Regards
Reddy
I need to perform a summation on the results of a COUNT but I'm not sure what's the best way to do it.
Example:
TableA
---------------
CaseID (int)
FollowupCorrespondence (int) (not guaranteed to be sequential)
CustomerName (varchar)
/**Get the total number of followups for each customer case, and display the customer's name.*/
select T.caseid, sum(T.cnt), T.CustomerName,
T.FollowupCorrespondence
from (select CaseID, count(FollowupCorrespondence)
as cnt, CustomerName,
FollowupCorrespondence
from tableA
group by caseID, CustomerName,
FollowupCorrespondence;
) as T
group by caseid, customername, followupcorrespondence
I get the following output, but what I need is to get '4' in each row of the SumCases column.
CASEID SUMCases CUSTOMERNAME FOLLOWUPCORRESPONDENCE

OK I am having problems trying to figure out or if it is even possible to do this in MSSQL
Here is my records
1=New
2=Open
3=Closed
Table stats
ID, Status
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 2
5 2
6 3
So I am trying to count each of the status
So Total records should be 6, New 3, Open 2, Closed 1 records.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Stats
Thats about all I know on this, will give me the total. but is there a way to count the total and count individuals.
Guys,
I'm using the following code and I just want display all glcodes that have a count less than 2:
select glcode,
sum(abs(sysvalue)) 'Movement',
count(glcode) 'Occurances'
from jet
group by glcode
order by occurances
The following sytax works i know i need to use the where function. Does anyone know the syntax?

I am creating a report that will print the customer's Invoices grouped by SalesPerson. I created a variable in the dataset so that it sets to the status of the invoce to Paid, Not Paid and Partial. All is working fine so far.
I have a groupfooter for each salesperson where I want to print the total no. of invoices for that SalesPerson that are PAID, NONPAID and Partaial.
So on the expressions of that fields, I have the following code. It allows me to print the report, but it prints #Error for the value of thoses field
I also want to print the the same fields in the report total area.
Any ideas ??
=Count(Fields!Document_No_.Value)having (Fields!InvStatus.Value = "PAID")
=Count(Fields!Document_No_.Value)having (Fields!InvStatus.Value = "UNPAID")
=Count(Fields!Document_No_.Value)having (Fields!InvStatus.Value = "PARTIAL")
I am trying to divide 2 funcitons by each other and I am coming back with 0 as my result in one of them while I am getting the correct answer in another. The two columns I am trying to pull with functions are:
SELECT
sum(D.PrincipalBal)/sum(L.PrincipalBal)*100 as DelqRatioByBal
, count(D.LoanID)/count(L.LoanID)*100 as DelqRatioByCnt
FROM Loan L
INNER JOIN DelqINFO D on D.LoanID = L.LoanID
I get the correct result back for 'DelqRatioByBal' but I get 0 back for 'DelqRatioByCnt'
Any suggestons?
I need a function to count business days (exclude Sat, Sun) that I can call within a view. I would rather not build a "calendar table" this will be used ongoing for years into the future.
Does anyone have anything like this they could share? If there is another source you could direct me to I would appreciate that as well.
TIA
