I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.
Could someone PLEASE help?!!
Thanks,
Karen
After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.

Table structure is very simple as below and I know there are solutions with joins (Left outer joins), need to know if it is possible to get o/p without using joins
Note:- also need records who doesn't have manager (null)
table structure

I have the following Games table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Games](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Lge] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[GameDate] [date] NULL,
[HomeTeam] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Home_Score] [float] NULL,
[AwayTeam] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Away_Score] [float] NULL)
with the following data:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Games2]
([Lge]
,[GameDate]
,[HomeTeam]
,[Home_Score]
,[AwayTeam]
[Code] ....
This gives the standings as:
Team B4 - 1 -
Team C1 - 1 1.5
Team A2 - 5 3
How can I query the data to find the "games behind" at any date?
which is the most efficient query to find out the total number of rows in a table other than using - SELECT COUNT(*) ... in query
View 10 Replies View RelatedHello,
could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' . If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.
How do I handle and apostrophes and other punctuation in stored procedure Sql statements:
SELECT L_ID, L_NameFROM tblHVACContractorsWHERE (L_Name = 'Mare's Heating & Cooling Services')
I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors.
I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe...
1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''") 2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for.
If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below....
I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail....
I would appreciate any help !
Thanks !

I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. Theapplication in question executes the folloiwing query against thedatabase:select * from employee where emp_id = 760In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server2k the following error is returned:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error convertingthe varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understandthat this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not wantto have to trawl through the application and surround all instanceswith apostrophes.Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will Ihave to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.Thanks for any help.John

I work with both Oracle and SQL Server databases (most of the time Oracle) and I was wondering if there is a function that allows ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted into the database. Oracle has a function called SET DEFINE OFF and that allows for ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted without giving me an error. Is there something similar in SQL Server? I'm migrating some data and quite few rows have ampersands and apostrophes.

I have an update statement that accepts
a user's text input. problem is that the string
terminates the sql update statement if there is
an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car"
willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _
"UPDATE EditProfile " & _
"SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _
"SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)
Here is my problem:-
declare @test as varchar(32)
declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem'
set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.
I have table 'stores' that has 3 columns (storeid, article, doc), I have a second table 'allstores' that has 3 columns(storeid(always 'ALL'), article, doc). The stores table's storeid column will have a stores id, then will have multiple articles, and docs. The 'allstores' table will have 'all' in the store for every article and doc combination. This table is like the master lookup table for all possible article and doc combinations. The 'stores' table will have the actual article and doc per storeid.
What I am wanting to pull is all article, doc combinations that exist in the 'allstores' table, but do not exist in the 'stores' table, per storeid. So if the article/doc combination exists in the 'allstores' table and in the 'stores' table for storeid of 50 does not use that combination, but store 51 does, I want the output of storeid 50, and what combination does not exist for that storeid. I will try this example:
'allstores' 'Stores'
storeid doc article storeid doc article
ALL 0010 001 101 0010 001
ALL 0010 002 101 0010 002
ALL 0011 001 102 0011 002
ALL 0011 002
So I want the query to pull the one from 'allstores' that does not exist in 'stores' which in this case would the 3rd record "ALL 0011 001".

Hi
I am trying to find when a name has been entered more than once into 1 database table.
I'm currently doing something like this (can't remember exactly, not at work)
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Cnt, Name
FROM tblTable
GROUP BY Name
ORDER BY Cnt Desc
This brings back all the Names in the database and tells me which are duplicates but I want to just have the results of the duplicate values and not the single values.
Hope you can help.
Thanks
Hello,
We had 10 scheduled jobs, which run more then 1000 Stored Procedures. I want to map the flow of dependency in Stored Procedure. Like SP 100 is dependent on SP 10, and SP10 was dependent on SP1 in our processing. If SP10 fails, we have to rerun SP1, SP10 and SP100 from Query analyzer. I was looking for a query or method to do find out flow of dependency in Stored Procedure.

Hi
I need help in finding the query which will provide the following resultset from the below table..
Table :
create table product_stocks(product_id int , product_type varchar(20) , no_of_units int)
Data:
insert into product_stocks values(1,'A',30)
insert into product_stocks values(2,'A',70)
insert into product_stocks values(3,'A',60)
insert into product_stocks values(4,'A',40)
insert into product_stocks values(1,'B',90)
insert into product_stocks values(2,'B',60)
insert into product_stocks values(3,'B',70)
insert into product_stocks values(4,'B',40)
insert into product_stocks values(1,'C',40)
insert into product_stocks values(2,'C',50)
insert into product_stocks values(3,'C',80)
insert into product_stocks values(4,'C',90)
Result Set:
product_type product_id no_of_units
--------------- ------------- --------------
A 2 70
A 3 60
A 4 40
B 1 90
B 3 70
B 2 60
C 4 90
C 3 80
C 2 50
i.e The result set gives the top 3 products in each product_type based on the no_of_units.

If I run sample query below against an adventureworks database
where can I find query cost?
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
EXEC dbo.uspGetManagerEmployees 140;
Does estimated subtree cost for in the actual execution plan (when right click SELECT operator in the execution plan) is considered query cost?
can anyone explain how this works:
USE NORTHWIND
GO
SELECT freight
FROM orders E1
WHERE (N =
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT (E2.freight))
FROM orders E2
WHERE E2.freight >= E1.freight))
replace N by a number. To find that Nth value from the table.

Say the table has a primary key, and the latest value on it is 100, then all the records on that table are deleted... If I INSERT new record, the key will be 101... Can I find out what the key is going to be before inserting a new record to the table?
