I am trying to query multiple columns for a specific value. I have 8 columns (values are either 1 or 0)and I want to query the table to find out which rows contain zero's in ALL of the 8 columns. Whats the best way to do this? I can create a lenghty select statement where column1 =0 and column2 =0 and column3=0 and column4 =0 and column5 =0 .... etc. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?
Thanks in Advance

Hi there, I tried to make it different as usual but i´m stacked into this problem:Supose TABLE DetailsID_DET ID_CAR DETAILS1 3 1,2,3,4,5,62 4 2,43 5 5,6,7,8andTABLE Details_ItemsID_DI DETAIL_NAME1 Stereo HiFi CD2 Alarm3 AirConditioning4 LeatherSeats5 Pro Wires6 Aluminium WheelsThe problem appears when i need to bring CAR DETAILS (NAME) from TABLE DETAIL_ITEMS.Mi guess i that I should make something like:SELECT * FROM DETAILS_NAME WHERE id_di = (( Array(i) FROM Details )) one by one...I really dont know how to face it.First I thought in bringing ALL details_Items (datafieldtext = id_di and datavaluetext=Details_names) into a dataview.And then "somohow?" filter this dataview according with the Array previuosly splited by me with a For each function.Then I thought "Perhaps" there is a simpliest way to do that using SQL views, o advanced SQL QUERYS.and Finally I thought that creating a VIEW in for both TABLES would be great.The point is that, neither 1,2,3 options, honestly , I dont know how to face them.Thanks in advance, apologise my "rude" English grammar.LUCAS ( From Argentina )
I keep thinking this can be done in one query:UPDATE H
SET Phone1 = NULL
FROM Dialer.dbo.Agentless_Hold H
INNER JOIN Dialer.dbo.PhoneLookup D ON H.Phone1 = D.Phone;
UPDATE H
SET Phone2 = NULL
[Code] ....
I need to NULL any phone number in the Hold table where the number is in the Lookup table.
I have two tables table1 and table2. I want to check a value from table1 against 4 different columns in table 2. What would be the most optimized way to do this. I came up with this SQL but it runs forever.
select * from table1 a
where
(a.id in (select orig_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select benef_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select send_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select rcv_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14'));
i have a table which is having size and pieces information and say it is having following 4 records.
Size, pieces, sizeID, sizecombID (SizeCombination Id)
S, 1, 1, 1
M, 3, 2, 1
L, 3, 3, 1
XL, 1, 4, 1
Now suppose user enters all these 4 records which i will pass as xml string to my stored procedure.
Is there any way to check existense of all these 4 records in this table from the xml data which i pass by using one SQL statement ? Or what is the right way of checking it, Is it through using cursor ??
Finally after checking it should retrun SizeCombID for a existing record, and if record is not existent then it should add these 4 records in table and return the new SizeCombID.
Can somebody pls help on this..
I have two columns.
policyNumber contains a 12-13 varchar string
AllPolicyNumbersIncluded contains one or more 12-13 varchar strings (policy nums) seperated by commas
I want to check if policyNumber is contained in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded?
I have policyNumber LIKE AllPolicyNumbersIncluded which works when only one policy number is in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded and incidently works switched around AllPolicyNumbersIncluded LIKE policyNumber I assume because they are equal.
Can anyone tell me how to check if one column's value is a substring of another - without going through every possible substring of the second
How can I test to see if a column exists before adding a column to a sql mobile table?
thanks,

I have a case where if the Id field is a specific value, I don't want to allow null in another field, but if the Id value <> a specific value, null is ok.
In the example below, inserting the first record should succeed, the second should succeed, and the 3rd should fail. Right now the 2nd two fail. I gotta be missing something easy, but I can't figure it out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am not a DBA but have responsibility for a particular MSSQL 2008 R2 file server running a particular application.how to solve a database consistency check problem.The database fails dbcc checkdb with multiple 8903 errors. Unfortunately this was not discovered until well after any good backups were deleted. The good news is that the DB otherwise seems fine. We have experienced zero problems with the DB or the applications. Running the checkdb with the "repair_allow_data_loss" option does not fix the problem.
However, I would still like to fix the problem. Using a popular SQL recovery product I am able to recover the database.The original, vendor designed and supplied DB, has 2 file groups, and three files (MDF, NDF, LDF). The output of the recovery process produces 1 file group and 2 files (MDF and LDF). Vendor says they cannot support me since the recovered DB is 'non-standard' according to their design.
I am able to set up a new, blank version of the vendors database on another dev system with the proper file and filegroup structure. How can I get the data moved/copied from the recovered (MDF/LDF) database into the dev database (MDF, NDF, LDF). I've tried the import/export function but it fails (I can rerun and give details if necessary).

I need to update multiple columns in a table with multiple condition.
For example, this is my Query
update Table1
set weight= d.weight,
stateweight=d.stateweight,
overallweight=d.overallweight
from
(select * from table2)d
where table1.state=d.state and
table1.month=d.month and
table1.year=d.year
If table matches all the three column (State,month,year), it should update only weight column and if it matches(state ,year) it should update only the stateweight column and if it matches(year) it should update only the overallweight column
I can't write an update query for each condition separately because its a huge select
Hi,
I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is
col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
Hi All,
I have a field 'Rowguid' of type uniqueidentifier in a table. This field is the last field in the table. In this case if I update a record through the application I don't get any error. Suppose if there are additional fields after the field Rowguid I get the error "Multiple-Step operation cannot be generated Check each status value"
For your reference I have used the following statement to add the RowGuid field
Alter table <tablename>
Add RowGuid uniqueidentifier ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL Default (newid())
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks

I know how to check for a sinle vlaue but how do I chekc to see if multiple values exist. I need to check for certain email addresses from a list that I have.
Let us say I ahve 3 email addresses, I want to check for all of them in a table and for eevery email address that is present I want to print something like "You email address is XXX" and if one of those 3 is not found my results should look like
"You email address is XXX"
YYYYY not found
"You email address is ZZZZ"
I'm attaching some TSQL that I tried on [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress]
/****** Select ALL if where an email address is present in the list ******/
SELECT EmailAddressID,EmailAddress
FROM [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress]
WHERE EmailAddress IN
(
'ken0@adventure-works.com', --1
'terri0@adventure-works.com', --2
[Code] ....
-- Test to see if a single email address is present
IF EXISTS
(
SELECT EmailAddress FROM [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress]
WHERE EmailAddress IN ('25rob0@adventure-works.com')
)
BEGIN
SELECT 'Email address is presnt'
[Code] ....
When I check multiples using EXISTS it works as per its design and says YES even if a single item is present.
I have an SSIS package in VS 2010 that uses flat files to load database tables. I would like to check for the flat files existing before continuing to run the package. The flat files each have their own connection manager. I was wondering if I could use the connection managers to determine the file names instead of creating a Script Task and hard-coding each of the file names to check.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello All,
Can someone pls help me with how to check for a numeric value in a varchar column?
For example I have a column called client_id , it has values "AB" , "CD" , "18", "19" . I need to delete those client_id where the values are 18 and 19. How would I do that?
Thanks in advance!!
Can't seem to get my head around this: I'm looking for a way to select only those varchar(10) values that soley consist of numbers. Leading spaces are allowed.
I tried using isnumeric, but it also allows those with periods, comma's etc.
Also tried using like, but the length of the varchar column varies too much to do a like '[0-9][0-9]....'.
As a solution I currently do a combo of isnumeric, not like '%.%', not like '%,%' etc. I need to do a conversion to an int to join another table, but the convert still fails. Not sure where and why.
I'm thinking there should be a better way than create a hughe list of "not like " but it looks like I'm in the woods here...
In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits
e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int
SELECT af.AccomType, af.AccomRef, af.AccomName,af.address1, af.address2, bf1.RoomCode,
Convert(Int,Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(REPLAC E(Replace(MAX(bf1.EndBook),'°','200'),'´','204'),' 99','1999'),'97','1997'),'47',1947),'98','1998')) AS max_date,
...............
WHERE
af.Resort=@strResort
AND
(af.AccomType = 'H' OR af.AccomType = 'O')
AND
max_date>20040721
order by max_date.
Problem is I get an error saying invalid column max_date. It works in the order by clause when I get rid of the
'max_date>20040721 '.
Thanks

Can you tell me if this is possible? (and how to do it!!)
The application is VS2005, with sql database.
I want to check if a specific column exists in a specific table in the database and if not then add it, all via my application.
I'm happy knowing how to connect to the database & pass sql commands (as I'm doing that anyway to set off backups), but not the actual queries I'd need.
Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?
I am using execute sql task and my sql statement contains
EXEC test ?
procedure test has 2 parameters. I added parameters using parametermapping tab. When I run i get an error message
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value
I receive the following error when creating a CHECK constraint that references another column. According to the good old Wrox SQL Server book, I'm using the correct syntax. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks in advance!
Server: Msg 8141, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column CHECK constraint for column 'end_date' references another column, table 'Session'.
Here's an example of the script that I'm using:
CREATE TABLE Session (
session_key char(18) NOT NULL,
course_key char(18) NOT NULL,
site_key char(18) NOT NULL,
instructor_key char(18) NOT NULL,
start_date smalldatetime NULL,
end_date smalldatetime NULL
CHECK (end_date >= start_date)
)
.
How do I alter a column check constraint?
I have the table:
CREATE TABLE Mytable(
mykey integer,
mycol integer
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 1 AND 2)
PRIMARY KEY(mykey))
How do I change the constraint to
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 0 AND 2)
...without losing any data?
Thanks!

Can anyone please tell me how can i create a uniqueness contraint on part of column and index that part too. i.e.
consider the following table.
table A
Col1
furadfaf
fsradfasd
dddafadsf
hjfhdfjakdj
now i want only left three characters of the Col1 to be unique and indexed.
any idea ??????
say i have a table, and in it are two columns, column1 and column2 and i do the following query:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table WHERE column2 = '12345'
i want to check if column1 has all the same values, so in the first case, no
column1 column2
------- --------
4 12345
9 12345
5 12345
column1 column2
------- --------
9 12345
9 12345
9 12345
in the 2nd case, column1 contains all the same values, so yes
is there anyway i can check this? i would be doing this in a trigger.. say when a new row is inserted, the value of column1 is inserted, but col 2 is null.. so when they try to fill in the value for col2 of that row, the trigger checks to see if the value they put for col 2 is already in the table.. if it isn't, then everything is ok. but if it is already in teh table, then it checks col1 to see if all the values of col1 are the same
i hope this makes sense
thanks

Hi All,
We have a very convoluted ETL system which is pulling unnecessary data. First thought is to restrict everything so that only the columns/tables that are necessary are brought back. We have a tons of reporting stored procedures that depend on ETL tables, is there anyway we can find out which column/tables these stored procedures are using?
Thanks!
Dear All,
I wanted to know how do I know or check that whether a column exists in a table. What function or method should I use to find out that a column has already exists in a table.
When I run a T-SQL script which i have written does not work. Here is how I have written:
IF Object_ID('ColumnA') IS NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Table1] DROP COLUMN [ColumnA]
GO
I badly need some help.
