Need Help With Simple Syntax
Feb 24, 2008
I'm new to SQL I don't know how to write code for the following problem:
Attached is the pic of my table. What I would like to do is compare the Open column of 2008-02-22 with the Close column of 2008-02-21.
Then I would like to know if the Open of 2008-02-22 is greater or less than the Close of 2008-02-21.
- If it greater, I would like to know if the Low of 2008-02-22 is ever less than or equal to the close of 2008-02-21.
- But if it is Less, then I would like to know if the High of 2008-02-22 is greater than or equal to the close of 2008-02-21.
The other issues is that the date have to be dynamic of course. I used 2008-02-22 and 2008-02-21 as examples. Ideally it would be the Open Column of Row 1 compared to the Close column of Row 2.
Sorry if I did not explain it properly, this new way of thinking is kinda foreign to me and I may sound like an idiot. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using sql server 2005 and in sql management studio I am getting a syntax error from this simple below code:
WITH CustListTemp AS
(SELECT OrderID, Locked, OrderStatus, Resubmissions, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderID) AS RowNumber
FROM dbo.OrderInfo
)
Can somebody please tell me what ther error is so I can correct it? I even had someone at work take a look at it and couldn't get it either.

Hi I have the following statement, where I'm passing any arrayList (as a string) this works fine, however when I add in the "WHERE" section 'AND (Keywords Like ...)' I get the error "Incorrect syntax ner 'tool' ", must have something to do with '%'
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
DECLARE @Array varchar(50)SET @Array = '47, 23'DECLARE @SearchText varchar(50)SET @SearchText = 'tool'
DECLARE @SQL varchar(700)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT *FROM ImageGallery_ItemsWHERE CategoryID IN (' + @Array + ')AND ( Keywords LIKE %' + @SearchText + '% )'

In advance forgive my ignorance - I'm developing in Access 2003....
I have a query that delivers an accurate dataset - Each church is submitting three proposals which are numbered with their church number (four digits) - their "first choice" has a "-1" after their church number. So church number "1101"'s first choice proposal is "1101-1". Each Church has 3 proposals (1101-1, 1101-2, 1101-3). There are 266 total churches. The proposals are picking other churches as part of the complete record. So each church can pick up to 6 other churches. But the "church of record" is the one at the top of the report. In other words, when I base the report on the query, if the report is about church "1101" I need the query to list Church 1101's 3 records at the top, to then be compared to the grouped (three) proposals from other church's that mentioned 1101 in their proposals.
RIght now the query works fine in that all of the records are accurately filtered into the dataset. So I have 1101's 3 proposals in the query results, along with all other churches that mentioned 1101 - no problem there. Here's where the question comes in. I'm going to give the user an input form to choose which report to run. So the user will pick "1101 St. Mary's" off of a combo box and hit the report button.
In SQL - how do I specify that if the ParishID of the Church (chosen in the combobox) equals 1 to 3 parishID's in the dataset, that those three records should appear at the top of the dataset in ascending order (1101-1, 1101-2, 1101-3) - then the rest of the records should appear ascending by proposal number.
Thanks so much in advance. I didn't include field names or anything because I'm guessing it's some simple SQL standard syntax that I can adapt. I know how to do the runtime connect to the query using the combobox - I'm OK there....

in SQL query analyzer i have this skeleton test query:
DECLARE @nLen int
DECLARE @strData varchar(200)
DECLARE @strDelim varchar(50)
DECLARE @nPos int
SELECT
OwnersName1
= (IF len(OwnersName) > 0 OwnersName
-- IF dbo.InString(OwnersName,'&',1) > 0 'yes'
--if dbo.InString(OwnersName,' AND ',1) > 0 'yes'
--if dbo.InString(OwnersName,', ',2) > 0 'yes'
--ELSE OwnersName
)
,
OwnersName2 = OwnersName
--@strDelim as Delim
FROM dbo.TateWake
WHERE OwnersName>'9'
i get this error:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 8
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 8
Line 8: Incorrect syntax near 'OwnersName'.
if i replace
IF len(OwnersName) > 0 OwnersName
with: len(OwnersName)
there is no error.

this is my 3rd attempt at posting this. other attempts did not post for some reason. now i'm home from work and so i can't cut and paste. this is from memory.
in query analyzer, i made a ridiculously simple query which returns a syntax error that i can't resolve:
SELECT name1 =
(
IF len(name) > 0 len(name)
),
name2 = name
FROM ownertable
this gives an error something like:
syntax error near IF on line 3
when i remove the IF len(name) > 0
the expression is evaluated as expected with no error. what is going on?
I must apologize for the simplification, but my posts kept going to the ether for some reason. I have had other dba's look at it and no one knows why this is happening in my office. nor can i understand why my posts don't stick. i even got a message from the forum app that i posted a duplicate message!

Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?
Thanks!

Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:
SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',
)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................
how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you

I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday)
1 1 a b c d e m
1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
I have:
Master table Hotel
table AddressCrossRef (with: RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType = 'Hotel', AddrID)
joins
table Address (key = AddrID)
table MediaCrossRef (with RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType= 'Hotel', MediaID)
joins
table Media (with MediaID,mediaType = 'thumbnail')
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have
left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using
where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null)
but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
any clue?
thanks

...when I started this endeavor.
I have a previously developed Lotus Notes App. The idea was simple; as
I am sefl taught on Lotus Script, I figured I'd be able to stumble my
way through VB.Well,
it started OK. I used VB Express to get familiar with the stuff, but
decided to go with a full version of VS 2005 and try and get this thing
properly developed as a web app. I purchased several reference books
etc., and have become relatively familiar with the forums here.First
issue I have is that I simply want to use code to update or add records
to an SQL DB. I know about datagridview etc., but I want to update the
DB using forms, not the tabular view those controls provide. I thought
it would be relatively straight forward, but found my ignorance runs
deeper than I thought. When I tried to do so I am finding I am not
really clear on where to make declarations etc. in the web app. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. The
issue with searching these forums is most posts deal with datagridview
or something similar.I have spent a ton of time trying to find relevant
posts or articles, but have had no luck yet.Again, all Ireally
need is a nudge in the right direction. I am more than willing to plod
through reference materials or articles/posts to find what I need to
know, I just can't find where to even start on the info I need. Regards, Joe

Hi,
I'm relatively new to SQL7 but I did use 6.5 a fair bit.
I'm trying to test the restore of the Transaction log backup and having a bit of difficulty. The idea is that I make a complete database backup at 1am backup the transaction log every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm. I need to be able to restore the database to a known state between 7am and 7pm with a max data loss of 30 minutes.
What I am trying to achieve is (as a test):
1)Create a small test database with a test table
2)Add some data to the test table
3)Back up the transaction log
4)Restore the transaction log to 'undo' the data added in step 2
Should be simple I think !!! The problem I am encountering is that in step 4 it won't let me restore only the transaction log (a tick automatically appears in the database backup as well). Bah !
Can someone please tell me what simple steps are required to get this to work. I need specifically on what options to chose during the backup and restore processes.
Thankyou,
Tim

Greetings,
I'm trying to find out if a particular column in a table has more than 10 digits. for example: the TN column.
How can I write this query? The data type for this column is bigint. Also, would it be better to change this data type to char(10) instead as it's used primarily for phone # lookups? Thanks in advance!
