Numeric Expressions And Aliases
Mar 8, 2006
I'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
Derrick

Hi,
is it possible to assign a numeric value as a column alias:
select ... as 1234 from ...
does not work.

I want to have this query insert a bunch of XML but i get this error...
Msg 128, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertTimeCard, Line 117
The name "ExpenseRptID" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted.
Msg 128, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertTimeCard, Line 151
The name "DateWorked" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted.
What am i doing wrong...Can anyone help me out!! Thanks!!

Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??

to see if the query worked the same, but I different results. Why?

Does anyone know of a neat way of aliasing tables in MS SQL Server 2000? I have a table [X] and I want to refer to it (in TSQL statements, stored procedures, etc.) by two names, say [X] and [Y]. There should be only one copy of the table's data.
I could handle this in my site logic (ie convert [Y] to [X]), but it would be really clean to handle this in the database.
Thanks for your advice.

trying to write a query from 2 tables and join them only they share a column name of the same name.I can define both aliases seperatrly but get an error when trying both,
select
case_HDR.case_nbr as "test"
Case_DTL.case_nbr as "test2"
From
Case_HDR, case_dtl
I need to join them also but trying to work in stages.

Hi,
I’m working with a really old design migrated to SQL 2005, in which I basically have two tables…
Table 1 contains all the “proper” data, and has columns called: col_1, col_2, col_3
Table 1’s data is something like:
col_1, col_2, col_3
Jack,jack@yahoo.ca,Toronto
Jill,jill@hotmail.com,Montreal
Table 2 contains meta-data for Table 1, specifically, it has two columns: column, meta-data
Table 2’s data is something like:
column,metadata
col_1,name
col_2,email
col_3,city
(Hopefully, my description of the design makes sense….basically; Table 2’s data describes what’s in each column of Table 1).
So, the question, if I want to write a ‘SELECT’ on Table 1, how can I use the data in Table 2 as aliases (or column) headers.
I’m currently going down the path of building dynamic SQL statements in T-SQL….but before I get too far, wanted to vet this idea here (it’s always been a fantastic resource for me)
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to create SQL Server aliases for Itanium servers?
Alternatively does anyone know how to use SMO to create a SQLAliasCollection for a specific server? I can't seem to find how to get that collection.
I've added aliases that work for 32 bit applications but they don't seem to be used for 64 bit applications.

I have been working with SQL for quiet a while but think this perhaps is a very basic question that has always escaped me:
At my work I was exposed to both, MS SQL Server 2000 and Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere/Sybase SQL Anywhere.
Under Sybase I was able to use aliases in other calculations and filters but i have never been able to do the same with SQL.
Example:
In Sybase I can write this:
Select Price * Units as Cost Cost * SalesTax as TotalTaxFrom Invoice Where TotalTax > 3.5
However if i want to do this in MS SQL 2000 i have to go trough
Select
Price * Units as Cost
Price * Units * SalesTax as TotalTax
From Invoice
Where (Price * Units * SalesTax) > 3.5
In the long run this is costing me a lot of code redundancy, not to mention a debugging nightmare. Is there a way to replicate this alias usage in MS SQL Server?

I need to write a query with the following joins:
TableX.X1 = TableY.Y1
TableX.X2 = TableY.Y2
What is the proper way to do this in SQL? Would it be:
select x.*
from TableX x
join TableY y1 on y1.Y1 = x.X1
join TableY y2 on y2.Y2 = x.X2
Is there a more proper way to do this without creating multiple aliases of the same table?

Just stumbled over the interesting bug -
if you have an SQLExpress server and the "allow remote connection" in SQL Instance is turned ON, it doesn't means that it works if you create some aliases for this instance
If Im trying to connect to SQLExpress via new created alias ('localhost' for example) I got the "SQL Server does not allow remote connections" error. Albeit, connecting to ".SQLExpress" is successful.
I've checked the properties of locahost DB instance in SQL Management Studio - remote connection is allowed.
I've restarted the SQLExpress instance.
There is no SQLServer or other instances on my PC
But it doesn't work
How to fix this and allows to connect to sql instance via aliases?

HI,
I have a view where I want to add Rundate and Prev Month Rundate as computed columns to simplify my joins and calculations.
Rundate will be a select from another table that has a list of rundates for each month like this.
SELECT MAX(fm_dateend)
FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth
WHERE fm_dateend <= getdate()) AS smalldatetime) AS CurrRunDate
Now, I want to add Prev Month Rundate on the basis of CurrRunDate but it does not accept CurrRunDate. The query is like this
SELECT MAX(fm_dateend)
FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth
WHERE fm_dateend < CurrRunDate) AS smalldatetime) AS PrevMonthRunDate
Can anyone help me to work around with the alias as I dont like to put a whole bunch of code inplace of CurrRunDate(Alias).
Thanks,

Hi,
I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.
Wildcard
Meaning
%
Any string of zero or more characters.
_
Any single character.
[ ]
Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).
Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).
Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.
In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"
After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.
Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Patrick Briggs,

I have a question regarding the nature of virtual sql servers, specificially what protocol is used to communicate to the server when a request is made by a client.
For example, if a scheduled job is run on the virtual sql server, what determines the protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipes etc.) by SQL Server agent? Is it the client network alias set up on the virtual server?
I am asking because currently the client aliases on some of our virtual sql servers are using named pipes and I think this is causing a problem with our backups.
Thanks,
Adrian.

Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.

HEAD(TAIL(DESCENDANTS
(TAIL([Time].[CalendarMonth].[Year],1), [Time].[CalendarMonth].[Month]),4),3) ON COLUMNS,

The last three columns are dynamically generated because they change during time. Next month they will be different.
I like to introduce aliases for them and to have them in the select as 'TWO_MONTHS_AGO','ONE_MONTH_AGO', 'CURRENT_MONTH'
I wonder if exists something like [KPI].(0), [KPI].(1), and etc.. of the OPENQUERY to get the selected columns by their ordering number...

When creating expressions we have access to a list of functions. It is my understanding that while these functions seem to have the same names and parameters as SQL functions, they are not so. They are implemented in the package libraries themselves. It is also my understanding that this function library cannot be extended to add new ones.
Am I correct? If so... why not?
Leaving alone the fact that they follow the same screwy names as SQL (instead of .NET on which SSIS is built on) and what seems to be a limited library (i.e. You have YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() functions but no HOUR(), MINUTE(), or SEC() functions -- instead you have to use DATEPART())
I mean honestly... a common expression for most people is using date and times for folder and filenames... So instead of a simple .NET type expression of DateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd") or Format(DateTime.Now, "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss") I end up with the very complex:
(DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2) + "_" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("hour", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("minute", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("second", GetDate()), 2)
Personally I find myself using Script Tasks and Variables to "build" my expressions and just use Expressions to set the property to the variable. (Which I think may defeat the full purpose of expressions.)
Any thoughts?

Hello all,
I have come across a road block once again and it is probably something fairly easy to do. I have 3 queries that give counts with different criteria. They are:
SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_scores = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_asmt = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building
My question is how can I combine these three queries into one so that I only get one record set?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000
Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.
i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long
ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).
What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).

I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?

Hey everyone,
I know that you can make an expression that will make it one color if a certain condition is met and a different one if it is not but is there anyway to make it so that if a number is less than another it's one color, if it's greater it's a different color and if they're equal it's a third color? Thanks for the help.
