So i've got to generate these queries that go from the first of a one month to the last day of a month. the user provides the starting and ending months.
What I was wondering was is there an easy way to set the last day of the month in sql without having to go in and hard code which months end on the 30 and which ones end on the 31.
Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

I'm using ASP and SQL Serv 2000. What I need to get from 2 tables (company & customers) is random 10 customers from random 20 comp.
Anyone got an idea how to do this??? I've spent 2 days trying to get stored proc. or T-SQL to work, but nothing good came out of it. I can get 1 comp and 10 cust, but not a grouped list of 20 comp. w/ 10 cust. each.
Help is greatly appreciated.

My Desired output

I did something similar doing just record counts but this is far more complicated. I'm at a loss that this is even possible.
SUM(CASE datepart(month, tbFile.openedDate) WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'January',
Does anyone know how I can get last day of month
if I pass a function a given month and and given year.
@Month = 2
@Year = 2004
The result I would need is 29 because there are 29 in
the month of February in the 2004.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see
Select
Jan 1- 23rd
feb 1-23rd
march 1-23rd
april 1-23rd

table
Hi I trying to find a way to determine the number of working days per month starting from the current date to the last day of the current month.And within the same store procedure determine the number of working days as normal (each month is independent from the next). For example: The store procedure is executed
September:
@CurrentDate = 9/10/2007
@EndDate = last working day 9/30/2007
Total# of working days = 15
October:
@CurrentDate = 10/1/2007
@EndDate = last working day 10/31/2007
Total# of working days = 23
November:
@CurrentDate = 11/1/2007
@EndDate = last working day 11/30/2007
Total# of working days = 22
etc.
Any ideas of how i can approch this?
Thanks in advance.
i have some classes that I want to group by month/year (note:i dont need the day of the month)
how do i wirte my sql so it only gives me the dictinct groups month/year of the classes I have so that it comes out like so..
11/2006
12/2006
1/2007
3/2007
i try with my sql below but i cant get the groups th come out in order. i dont think it sees it as a date value.
dbo.classgiven.classdate date of the class.thank you all
SELECT DISTINCT { fn MONTH(dbo.classgiven.classdate) } " + "/" + "{ fn YEAR(dbo.classgiven.classdate) } AS monthyear,{ fn MONTH(dbo.classgiven.classdate) } AS monthcode FROM dbo.classT INNER JOIN dbo.classgiven ON dbo.classT.classcode = dbo.classgiven.classcode WHERE (dbo.classT.discount = '-1') AND (dbo.classT.coned IS NOT NULL)", conNorthwind )
Does anyone know of a way to use a funtion for returning records based on fiscal reporting periods like Quickbooks uses for example "This Month", "Last Month", "This Quarter", "Last Quarter", "This Year", "Last Year". While I realize that I can create a very long date time parsing routine for this but it is not very elegant or useful. I thought there might be a way to do this already with an existing function.I have created a stored procedure that I pass a @ViewRange Parameter to and it returns the records that I want but I need this ability in several procedures and wanted to turn it into a stored procedure.IF @ViewRange = 'This Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE (MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) AND (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC;IF @ViewRange = 'Last Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE(MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 1) And (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC; Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm trying to use the following query to select two random records from my database. Do you have any ideas of why the recrand field will not change? I am using MS Sql server 7.. Please email mark@dtdesign.com ..Cheers Mark

FROM mytable
ORDER BY recrand
Has anyone noticed that if you created DTS package and try to
change connection properties (i.e. change DSN or redirect
DTS to different server or Database), as soon you click OK
it does not save new password and hence does not work
anymore. In my case to move Database from Development to
Production server I would have to recreate all DTS packages.
Is there any way around it?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.
This is the function: select rand()
Alberto.
Is there a way to write an SQL statement to choose random values from a particular select statement..for example:
select * from address
I was thinking, if there was a way to use an include statement for it like:
select * from address where id IN ('generates some random values')
thanks in advance

How can I have display random value for field varchar(10).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI once came across a database in which when ever a row was inserted, a unique random code was also inserted in a column. This code generated was similar to format like {8A5FE5F1-6BDA-476C-A4DB584A7710FBF91121054625}. I was told that SQL2000 has some inbuilt functionality for this.
Any idea on how to do this using SQL2000 or coding.
I feel this is much better than Identity Column as using autonumbers in quesrystring is too much risky as they easily readable.
Please help.
Thanks

4 328 aa
5 328 bb......
I need to retrieve each time SiteCode with random SiteName.
For example: 327 b , 327 a , 327 c

How Can I select a Random set of records from a database table?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a customer that wants to be able to generate a random list...
-----------------------
The list is case numbers, and I can get those easy enough by saying
SELECT
dbo.table_case.id_number
FROM
dbo.table_case
Now, what I want to do is take that list and extract 1 out of every 1000, picking out random id_numbers to display.
Is this something I can do via a SQL query?
Thanks,

Generates a true random number from xxx to zzz. Uses a table variable so it all depends on the boundaries you specify how long it will take.
create procedure random_number
@lower int = 0,
@upper int = 256,
@number int = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @numbers table (number_id int identity(1,1), value int)
if @lower > @upper
begin
set @number = @lower
set @lower = @upper
set @upper = @number
end
set @number = rand((datepart(mm, getdate()) * 100000) + (datepart(ss, getdate()) * 1000) + datepart(ms, getdate()))
while (select count(*)
from @numbers) < (@upper - @lower + 1)
begin
insert into @numbers (value)
select (@upper - @lower + 1) * rand() + @lower
end
select @number = value
from @numbers
order by newid()
go
I used this to generate a random password. You can change what it returns to up to an 8000 character password if you feel brave. You will need this function (http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14924) to generate the random numbers. For some reason, occassionaly a NULL (CHAR(0)) character would get in there and mess things up so I had to remove those. You could change this to even include the non alpha numeric characters.
create procedure random_password
@length smallint,
@password nvarchar(256) = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @number int
declare @lower int
declare @upper int
declare @part tinyint
if @length > 256 set @length = 256
set @password = ''
while len(@password) < @length
begin
exec random_number 0, 3, @part output
if @part = 0
select @lower = ascii('a'),
@upper = ascii('z')
else if @part = 1
select @lower = ascii('A'),
@upper = ascii('Z')
else if @part = 2
select @lower = ascii('0'),
@upper = ascii('9')
set @part = null
set @number = null
exec random_number @lower, @upper, @number output
set @password = @password + ltrim(char(@number))
if substring(@password, len(@password), 1) = char(0) set @password = left(@password, len(@password) - 1)

I need to update an integer column in my table with a random number. Here's what I've done so far (with the table name and column names changed):
UPDATE dbo.MyTable
SET Column1 = RAND() * 1000000
My question is, how come the values in my column all have the same value? I thought the RAND function gives out a random number? How can I update my table to generate random numbers?
Thanks in advance.
