What happens when you add the Ignore Case flag into the mix?
I'm having a hell of a time - I'm dealing with an SCD situation using TableDifference component and I have both existing dimensions and new data coming in, each go through identical Case-Insensitive/Sort with remove duplicates, but I'm getting identical new and deleted records detected - I think because of ordering issues. I'm still trying to whittle the test case down, but I think data from all around the records I'm investigating seems to get sorted in between them, so I'm having trouble getting a small test case built.
I think the mixed case data is the root of the problem, and I think the design is bad, but before I go back to the technical lead, I need to understand enough to show that you cannot take two pipelines sorted and de-duped case-insensitively and then do a case-sensitive table difference operation.
I am comparing two fields one from our legacy table and one in our new table structure that should have identical text data. The new field has an assortment of ANSI characters where the legacy data did not have these. Is there anything I can do that will ignore all ansi character differences? The only route I can think of is just do a replace on each ANSI type on the new column but there are quite a few character types.
Insert into deltavalues values ('1002', 2000,5000) Insert into deltavalues values ('1003', 1000,0) Insert into deltavalues values ('1004', 500,0) Insert into deltavalues values ('1005', 1000,2000)
--I have below query , basically getting emnployee table balance between deltavalues table baseval column and highval column
select * from employee e join deltavalues d on e.planid = d.planid where e.balance between d.baseval and d.highval
but here what i am requesting you is how can i change the highvalue to not include if it is 0
for example above example plan 1003, 1004 has highbal as 0 so i want to write a query to get employee data between 1000 and anyvalue (> 1000 - no limit)
same way for 1004 between 500 and no end values (infinity)
I want to create a column alias to represent the comparison of twocolumns (ie a boolean result of True or False). A simple example is:Select VehicleFinanceID, SalePrice > PurchasePrice As isProfit[color=blue]>From VehicleFinance[/color]but I get an error 'Incorrect syntax near >'Books online states that the select_list can contain column_name orexpressionAn expression is a column name, constant, function, any combination ofcolumn names, constants and functions connected by an operator[color=blue]> is a binary operator[/color]So why do I get this error.Incidentally, if I use an arithmetic operator such as +, there is noproblem.
Hello,Is it possible to set a comparison operator using a parameter value?The code below shows what I'm after;declare @co char(1)declare @date datetimeset @co = '<'set @date = '02/02/2002'select * from recipe where date @co @dateI would use an if statement perform two seperate statements depending on the value of co, but this is only one of 13 statements where i need to have different combinations of comparision operators.thanks
Hi,i need a column in a SELECT statement which returns always "true" (As a boolean value, not as a string)so I first tried SELECT field1, field2, true AS field3but this is not working. If I use "0 AS field3" this returns fine the 0, but this is not a boolean but a int.I also tried to make something like     "0 = 0 AS field"but also errors. In that context I discoverd that I could not compare values in the select field - I can use +,-+,* ... for having something like "2 * field1 AS field3" but I'm not clever enough to figure out how I would have a field "field1 < 12 AS field3" (ok I would use CASE, but I need the boolean return value...)Any ideas?Thanks in advance, Klaushow could I write something
Hi,I believe my SQL server was configured as Case sensitivity. I have anumber of stored procedures which were moved from a non-Casesensitivity SQL server. Because of the Case sensitivity, I have to doa lot of editing in those stored procedures. Is there a quick way toavoid the editing?Something like ignoring the case in one statement?Thanks in advance, your advice will be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to put an expression into a view query column. I've already created a column which contains the results of a calculation in the form of an expression. What I don't know how to do is use comparison operators to return a boolean value for display. I'll give some examples of what I'm trying to do, using literal values just to simplify things...
So say I want to display the result of an expression in a view query column, as a boolean value (or BIT), as True or False. I've tried putting the following expressions into the column and none work:
4 < 5: Access converts this to the string '4 < 5' and it's just displayed as a string.
CAST( '4 < 5' AS BIT ): When run, the query displays the error 'Syntax error converting the varchar value '4 < 5' to a column of data type BIT.
Although I'm using Access 2003, It's just a front end for a SQL Server 2000 database. The actual SQL statement containing the latter SQL function is:
SELECT dbo.Tapes.No, dbo.Tapes.Status, dbo.Tapes.LastWrittenDate, dbo.Tapes.Pool, dbo.Tapes.Location, dbo.TapeJobs.No AS Expr1, dbo.TapeJobs.JobNo, dbo.TapeJobs.TapeNo, dbo.Jobs.No AS Expr2, dbo.Jobs.Date, dbo.Jobs.Successful, dbo.Jobs.RetentionRule, dbo.RetentionRules.No AS Expr3, dbo.RetentionRules.Name, dbo.RetentionRules.Description, dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionPeriod, dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionCycles, dbo.Jobs.Date + dbo.RetentionRules.RetentionPeriod AS AgedJob, CAST('4 < 5' AS BIT) AS Expr4 FROM dbo.RetentionRules INNER JOIN dbo.Jobs ON dbo.RetentionRules.No = dbo.Jobs.RetentionRule RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.Tapes RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.TapeJobs ON dbo.Tapes.No = dbo.TapeJobs.TapeNo ON dbo.Jobs.No = dbo.TapeJobs.JobNo
I'm new to SQL. I think the CAST function is the way forward, but I just don't know how to force it to resolve the expression '4 < 5'.
Hi, Please could someone assist - the above error occurs. This is my code: Protected Sub btnReport_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ' Response.Redirect("CrystalreportTEST_Print.aspx?C_id=" & ddlCompany.SelectedValue) Dim myConnection As New OleDbConnection(connString) Dim Str As String = "SELECT clientid,company FROM Client WHERE company =" & ddlCompany.SelectedItem.Text Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(Str, myConnection) Dim ds As New DataSet Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd) da.Fill(ds) Label7.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("clientid") ' Response.Redirect("CrystalreportTEST_Print.aspx?C_id=" & ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("clientid")) End Sub Thank you in advance
I am trying to use a date comparison in a statement using the year statement as well. Here is what I have:
Case [LastHireDate] When YEAR([LastHireDate]) < Year(@EndYearlyDate) then '12' When Month([LastHireDate]) = '1' then '12' When Month([LastHireDate]) = '2' then '11' When Month([LastHireDate]) = '3' then '10' When Month([LastHireDate]) = '4' then '9'
[Code] ....
When I am looking at it [LastHireDate] is showing that red line underneath. The < symbol has a red line and @EndYearlyDate has a red line. I can not seem to get them to clear and am, wondering what I am missing. When I execute the error comes up that it does not like the < sign in there.
how SQL 2012 would treat a literal string for a comparison similar to below. I want to ensure that the server isn't implicitly converting the value as it runs the SQL, so I'd rather change the data type in one of my tables, as unicode isn't required.
Declare @T Table (S varchar(2)) Declare @S nvarchar(255) Insert into @T Values ('AR'), ('AT'), ('AW') Set @S = 'Auto Repairs' Select * from @T T where case @S when 'Auto Repairs' then 'AR' when 'Auto Target' then 'AT' when 'Auto Wash' then 'AW' end = T.STo summarise
in the above would AR, AT and AW in the case statement be treated as a nvarchar, as that's the field the case is wrapped around, or would it be treated as a varchar, as that's what I'm comparing it to.
Hello:Is it possible to use CASE expression in AND condition? i.e.------------------------------------------CREATE PROC spBlah( @id INT, @val INT)ASSELECT * FROM aTableWHERE tableID = @idAND ( CASE @val WHEN 1 THEN otherCol = someValue END CASE @val WHEN 2 THEN otherCol != someOtherVlaue END )-------------------------------------------
I there a way to differ the filtering field through a Case expression in the Where claus? ex: Where Case When @StuNum = '' Then S.SSN = @SSN Else S.StuNum = @StuNum End And ... The actual field to filter by differs, but I can't seem to find the right syntax to do this. Any help is appreciated : )
The SUBSTRING function returns @domain.com. I don't want any results to be displayed from my sql statement if it equals @myemail.com. I have other cases too that are not relevant to my question. I'm getting an error that says invalid syntax near <
SELECT DISTINCT CASE CUST_EMLAD_TX WHEN SUBSTRING(CUST_EMLAD_TX, CHARINDEX('@',CUST_EMLAD_TX), LEN(CUST_EMLAD_TX)) <> '@myemail.com' THEN CUST_EMLAD_TX END FROM ...
In the Portal1 case expression in the script at the bottom I would liketo replace where the result 1 is returned, with the substring functionreturned as Portal{SUBSTRING(Field1, CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4, (CHARINDEX('.txt',Field1) - 8) - (CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4))}However, I am experiencing errors. I think it is because The substringfunction will not return a number as the case expression expects so Imust incorporate cast or convert, but do not know how. Can you help???SELECT portal1 = CASE WHEN len(Field1) > 5 THEN 1 ELSE '' END,SUBSTRING(Field1, CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4, (CHARINDEX('.txt',Field1) - 8)- (CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4)) AS portal,Table.*FROM Table
I'm trying to write a case expression similar to the expression listed below. I basically want to compare the Anniversary date to the current date. Whenever I write the expression like this I get a syntax error.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 147
Incorrect syntax near '<'.
Case AnniversaryDate
WHEN AnniversaryDate < GETDATE() Then 'Not Yet'
WHEN AnniversaryDate = GETDATE() Then 'Now"
ELSE 'You Missed it'
END AS Anniversary
Could someone please guide me in the correct syntax for this expression. Thanks
I would appreciate assistance as to how I should correct the following CASE expression::
BilledCarrier = CASE LEN(cur_billed_carrier) WHEN >0 THEN cur_billed_carrier ELSE 'Not Billed' END
I want to return the cur_billed_carrier when its length is >0 but I can't find the correct syntax. My attempt returns an error at the '>' operator. Thank you.

The month case is giving me an error. I think it has to do with two expressions in one line. Anyone know how to combine that into 1 expression? or is there away to work around it? As I would like to display the month as Name, but group and sort by number. Thx!~
I have to use the Case expression in my query, so I search arround the web and got the following: SELECT title, price, Budget = CASE price WHEN price > 20.00 THEN 'Expensive' WHEN price BETWEEN 10.00 AND 19.99 THEN 'Moderate' WHEN price < 10.00 THEN 'Inexpensive' ELSE 'Unknown' END,FROM titles It should run OK base on my research in the internet. But my SQL Server gave me error: syntax error arround '>'.I did several search and many people can use the ">" sign or "<" sign in the Case expression, but I just can't use it in my SQL Server, I can't even use any boolean expression, I can only use values.can anyone help me out? My SQL Server Version is SQL Server 2000 Sevice Pack 4.Thanks!
Hi, Maybe this is just totally wrong but this is what I'm trying to do. I want to dynamically insert a value using a CASE expression while executing an external SP from my current SP. EXEC uspAddMessage @UserId, CASE @MyAction WHEN 'DELETE' THEN 'DELETED TRANSACTION.' WHEN 'APPROVE' THEN 'TRANSACTION APPROVED.' WHEN 'REJECT' THEN 'TRANSACTION REJECTED.' END, @DateStamp Keep in mind that this is in my stored proc that is doing the processing. I'm calling this common proc when I complete my transactions. Thanks, S
Hello everyone, is there anyway to use an update sub query in a case expression , something like this for exampleselect username,(case when password ='606' then (update users set username = 'me' where id= '3') else password end) from users i have been googling this issue just with no usefull resultsthanks for any replyMahmoud Manasrah
I am one very frustrated beginner. If it were not for wonderful information in this forum I would have taken early retirement by now!
Table contains information about new and departing computer and phone users in several departments which we support. This is an existing table which I'm trying to clean up. The essential part:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HelpDesk_NewUser]( [AutoNumber] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [SubmittedDate] [datetime] NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [LastName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [Department] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [StartDate] [datetime] NULL, [DepartDate] [datetime] NULL [RequestedBy] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [UpdatedBy] [varchar](16) NOT NULL, [CurrentStatus] [varchar](10) NOT NULL , [DateCurrentStatus] [datetime] NULL, [FormType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, ) ON [PRIMARY]
There can be more than one record per FirstName, LastName. FormType can be N for new or D for departing. I want to do this for each record: Read the FormType and Department from the record with the most recent activity (SubmittedDate) for each user Convert Department to a 4 character department number Update CurrentStatus with (FormType concatenated with the 4 character dept number) in all records for that user.
I have created another table called UserMostRecent which contains the most recent record for each user.
I have written a query to do this by brute force (read a record, set local variables, update a record), but I would like learn a simpler way to do it. I don't understand the syntax of CASE because it seems to change depending on where it is used.
Here is what I have tried that does not work. Error is "Incorrect syntax near word CASE"
UPDATE HelpDesk_NewUser SET DateCurrentStatus = b.DateMostRecent, CurrentStatus = (b.FormType + a.Department CASE WHEN 'Roads Department' THEN '3000' WHEN 'Engineering and Survey Services' THEN '1900' WHEN 'Waste Management' THEN '8999' WHEN 'Kern Air Pollution Control District' THEN '9149' WHEN 'Environmental Health' THEN '4113' WHEN 'Building Inspection' THEN '2625' WHEN 'Animal Control' THEN '2760' WHEN 'Planning Department' THEN '2750' WHEN 'Community and Economic Development' THEN '5940' WHEN 'Resource Management Agency' THEN '2730' WHEN 'Code Compliance' THEN '2620' WHEN 'Roads Kern Regional Transit' THEN '8998' END) FROM HelpDesk_NewUser a JOIN UserMostRecent b ON (a.LastName = b.LastName and a.FirstName = b.FirstName)
Is it possible? I have a request to create a stored proc that willdynamically add a range to a WHERE clause based on a numeric value of acomment type. If the incoming comment type request is say 10, thewhere clause needs to be set to IN(10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)OR ifa 20 is passed in the clause would read IN(20,21.....)So I was thinking that a CASE expression within the proc would be thebest way to go, but have had no luck in finding an example or any otherrelated information regarding CASE exp in a proc.TIABill
I have a scenario where the End User is going to select two parameters. @AgentID and @Location If the End User selects @AgentID parameter, in my WHERE clause, I do not want to check the location condition. By default, the agent knows their location already.
If the End User select @Location parameter, in my WHERE clause, I still want to check the Agent condition.
@AgentID parameter would populate either with "All" or their actual agent# (76754 for example).
@Location parameter would populate either with "All" or their actual location (Birmingham or Bessemer for example)Sample of my current WHERE clause:
WHERE Â Â gl.ReceiptDate >= @BeginDate and gl.ReceiptDate < DATEADD(D,1,@EndDate) Â AND gl.AgentId = CASE WHEN @AgentID = 'All' THEN gl.AgentID ELSE @AgentID END Â AND gl.Location = @Location
How would I convert an expression like on of these to all upper case first letters with remaining letters lower case? VB has a function for that but sql doesn't seem to. I thought about having a loop go through each character to check for spaces. I've written a couple of similar pieces of code in VB when a while ago, but is there a better way? Thanks :)
Just a couple of typical examples of how the data should appear ~
