Hi,
How do you generate line numbers in Transact SQL?
Example:
In Sybase, I could use this...
select number(*), customer_name from customer_table
number(*) customer_name
----------------------------------------------------
1 Customer Name 1
2 Customer Name 2
3 Customer Name 3
Thanks,
Geoff
Got this query and I need the following result;
declare @NumberToCompareTo int
set @NumberToCompareTo = 8
declare @table table
(
number int
)
insert into @tableÂ
select 4
[Code] ....
The query selects 4 and 5 of course. Now what I'm looking for is to retrieve the number less or equal to @NumberToCompareTo, I mean the most immediate less number than the parameter. So in this case 5
when we get something like this in QA:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near ','.
I only have 3 lines inclusing only one insert. How do I know what value or keyword is wrong from the error message above.
Thanks

I have a large query that I am trying to debug in query analyzer.However, the errors I get have no line number or reference to wherethey are failing. How can I find out what line in the query is causinga particular error message to appear?ThanksJohn IveySouth Pike School District
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen you get a server error message referring to a line number in ascript, is there an easy way to jump to the correct line? It's noteasy to count down in a big script or when there is a lot of whitespace.In WordPerfect we had a linenum macro that allowed you to enter theline number and it would jump to the line using the same countingmethod as the interpreter that generated the error message. Is theresomething similar with TSQL, or another way?Kerry

I am wanting to set up a trigger on our SQL server 2000 to create a sequential order line number in the OrderDetails table for OrderID.
I will be inserting data from an OrderLinesAdd table into the OrderLines table but want the LineNumber field to be incremented by 1 for each group of orders grouped by OrderID that I insert into the table eg.
OrderID LineNumber
1 - 1
1 - 2
1 - 3
2 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 1
3 - 2
I have just started using SQL so am not sure how I go about writing the code for the trigger ? It would seem like I will need to use the Max function in the code.
Thanking you in advance.
Hi there,
I have a matrix report that shows a certain columns and rows. I need a row counter to show me the amount of rows in that matrix but it doesn't count properly by using the expression: =Int(RowNumber("matrix1") -1)
I actually don't have any idea on what this expression should be to fix the row count...to illustrate what I get in the report:
______________________________________________________________________________
Chkp | Row | Serial No | Call of Date |Colour| Pillar | AV | Sport | USA | SRA | TAPE |
2019 | 1 | 7006892 | 2003/02/11 | 3644 | 78222 | 3902 | 9182 | | | |
| 3 | 7000123 | 2003/02/11 | 3299 | 17283 | | 9238 | 2793 | | |
| 5 | 7302031 | 2004/01/11 | 3902 | 28932 | | 3233 | 2332 | | |
| 7 | 7273211 | 2004/02/08 | 6727 | 39232 | 8228 | 3293 | | | |
| 8 | 7382728 | 2004/11/11 | 7822 | 32342 | 3902 | | | | |
| 13 | 7342934 | 2004/12/03 | 8323 | 23422 | 2031 | 9212 | 2934 | 2934 | 2982 |
| 18 | 7329491 | 2004/13/02 | 8291 | 92423 | 7922 | 0231 | 2342 | 2355 | 2223 |
| 22 | 7328438 | 2004/12/22 | 8399 | 92311 | | 0289 | 8392 | | 3982 |
As you can see above, the row count numbers are not lining up at all, it starts at 1, then jumps 2 every count then all of a sudden jumps 5 per line...a pattern that is interesting but difficult to understand. The unique value in this matrix is that serial number but even though i group it by the serial number, it still gives me the funny Row count values.
What would be the approach to solving this?
Regards
Mike
Hello all
Trying to delete some data from a SSCE (2005) DB produces the exception:
SqlCeException
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 43,Token in error = C]
Here is the code I am using
string dsc = Application.StartupPath + "\FCDB07.sdf";
conn = new SqlCeConnection("DataSource = " + dsc);
conn.Open();
cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "DELETE FROM DataContainer WHERE FileName =" + dgContainers[0, SelRowIndex].Value.ToString();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 43,Token in error = C ]
conn.Close();
Any Idea on What causes this?

Hey all-
I'm trying to insert some values into an SQL Compact database on a WM6 device but there is something apparently wrong with my SQL statement...
The program is going to allow users to schedule an SMS message to be sent at a certain date and time. I'm using a database to keep track of the scheduled SMS messages. The database has 3 rows: phone number, message, and the date/time to be sent.
Here is the relevent code:
private void scheduleMenu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//connect to DB and do our scheduling magic
string message = messageBox.Text; //should rename messageBox...
string phoneNum = phoneNumBox.Text;
string dataBase = @"Program FilesSMS_Scheduler2SMSDatabase.sdf";
//SqlCeEngine eng = new SqlCeEngine(dataBase);
SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source=" + dataBase);
conn.Open();
//insert phone number, message text, and date/time into DB
string cmd = "INSERT INTO Scheduler(phoneNum, message, date) VALUES("+ phoneNum + ", "+ message + ", "+ dateTimePicker1.Value +")";
SqlCeCommand cmdPhone = new SqlCeCommand(cmd,conn);
cmdPhone.ExecuteNonQuery(); //error occures here...
messageBox.Text = "";
MessageBox.Show("Message Scheduled!");
}
I'm guessing it doesn't like how I am trying to get the data from the different text boxes and the DateTimePicker to go inside the SQL command. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my SQL command or how to get data from a textbox and DateTimePicker to be inserted into a database a different way?
Hi,
I want set a specific port number of SQL Server(express) during installation not by Configuration Manager after install.
Is it possible?
Can you help me with SQL issue I€™m stuck on?
I wish to take source data that looks like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
0
6658
2
6658
8
7721
2
7721

Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
1
6658
2
6658
3
7721

This seems completely impossible to me. So I was thinking that maybe a second procedure using update could be run against the table after the initial build.
hi all,
maybe this is not a serious problem, but I tried for days to come toi a solution without success.
My Problem:
I have have several flatfile sources I need to import into a sql-server 2005 DB.
It is very important for me to have the original line number from inside the source file for each record. The rowcount transform doesn't fit in for this task, because it accumulates all rows until the end of the dataflow.
I tried script components and it works fine if i assume there are no errors in my source. then I simply could declare a local variable and count it up and add a custom collumn to my output. But for errors in my source this won't work, because a second script component won't know the actual value of a package level variable, which i use to store the value, because i am only allowed to access this variable in the post execujte method of the script.
How can I achieve my goal? Please help me...
Thanks in advance .. Bernd
Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue with dynamically setting the Send Mail task's to field to decent sized recipient list(approx 15 email addys). The strange thing is that this same package works fine if I'm using a list of say 4 email addys. I have double checked everything I can think of....list is seperated by semicolons, each address looks good....and have ran script tasks to check my variables along the path of the package but so far have not found the reason. The error I get is below:
"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address"
Also of note, these addresses are being populated from a table, that is then setting the To string of the send mail task via a seperate variable...that variable being populated from a foreach loop. Again, all of this works fine with a smaller recipient list. Any ideas?
The only thing I can think of right now is to run the send mail task within the foreach loop...but then I'll be sending a seperate email for each address and would like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks,
Adrian

I am using SQL 2008 R2.
I need to group by transactions at line item level. As the each item in the transaction may belong to different category and I'musing case statement to identify particular category for one column , I'm using sub-query to retrieve the results at item level.
Here is the code:

I have this query:
SELECT

         (case when type = '1' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value1,

          (case when type <> '1' and type <> '3' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value3
FROM table1 WHEREÂ ID1 = 'x' and ID2= 'y'Â
GROUP BY ID1, ID2, Type

I have a query that returns the data about test cases. Â Each test case can have multiple bugs associated to it. Â I would like a query that only returns the test cases that have all their associated bugs status = closed.For instance here is a sample of my data

I want to perform a query so that SQL should look for RandomNumber Values and set a Unique Random Number Where RandomNumber Value is Null or 0.So I have got a solution as one of the MSDN Member shared the below query
select id,item,RandomNumber=Case when RandomNumber=0 then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
when RandomNumber is null then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
else RandomNumber end from tblProducts
So, can you all confirm me, that performing this query ensures that if a Value is assigned to one of the Item in RandomNumber Column, that value will not be assignend to any other Item in RandoNumberColumn.
I am currently working on an app and have an issue with a table in the database. Â The table has 10,000 records in it and a column is added that is to use a 4 digit in sequence. The datatype for the new column is varchar since no math will ever be done on the added column. Â If necessary, I can change the datatype but would prefer not to. Â The 4 digit would start with 0000 at ID 1 and go to 9999 at ID 10000. Â I'm thinking some type of update statement since it is updating each record but how would it be done sequentially?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I would like to do is to have a TSQL Select return the number of records in the Result as if TOP (n) had not been used. Example:I have a table called Orders containing more than 1.000 records with OrderDate = '2015/07/21' and my client application has a threshold for returning records at 100Â Â and therefore the TSQL would look like
SELECT TOP (100) *Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc
Now I would like to "tell" the client that only 100Â of 1.000 records are shown in the client application grid. Is there a way to return a value indicating that if TOP (100) had not been used the resultset would have been 1.000. I know I could create the same TSQL using COUNT() (SELECTÂ COUNT(*)Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc) and return that in a variable in the SELECT statement or even creating the COUNT() as a subquery and return it as a column, but I would like to avoid running multiple TSQL's. Since SQL Server already needs to select the entire recordset and sort it (ORDER BY) and return only the first 100 the total number of records in the initial snapshot must somehow be available.
I need to update many rows in some table. Â I've made such SQL query:
UPDATE [%TableName%]
SET [%FieldName%] = CASE
           WHEN ID = 1 THEN '1'
           WHEN ID =2 THEN '2'
           ....
      END;
      [%FieldName2%] = CASE
           WHEN ID = 1 THEN '1'
           WHEN ID = 2 THEN '2'
           ....
      END;
WHERE ID IN {1, 2, ...}
Are there some limitations for CASE operator? How many "when - then" conditions can I include in query?
