I have a report that uses different datasets based on the year selected by a user.
I have a year_id parameter that sets a report variable named dataset_chosen. I have varified that these are working correctly together.
I have attempted populating table cell data to display from the chosen dataset. As yet to no avail.
How could I display data from the dataset a user selects via the year_id options?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to query a table for a max value of one field for a distinct combination of two other fields. Let's call these fields RowID, ObjectID, and ObjectType. RowID is an auto-increment field, so for each distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType, there will be many values of RowID. To visualize an example:
RowID, ObjectID, ObjectType
1 , 1 , 1
2 , 1 , 2
3 , 1 , 3
4 , 1 , 1
5 , 1 , 2
6 , 1 , 3
Of these rows, I would only want 4, 5, and 6 (max values for distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType).
I hope I explained this clearly. I would imagine I'd need to use some form of nested query, but nothing I have tried so far has worked. I am using SQL 2005.
Thanks!
Hi,

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to do an SQL insert with a select (to copy specific records) query and specify the value for a specific field to insert in the new records instead of using the value in the field in the select statement.
If so can you provide me with a simple example.
Cheers
Mark :)

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would I go about selecting records where a datetime field is >= 1hr?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a little insight on how to select the same field from the same table, but for different criteria.
here are example tables...
Categories
CATSUBCATNAME
10MainTitle
11SubTitle #1
12SubTitle #2
20Section
21Section #1
DataTable
CATSUBCATINFO
11Detail Information for subtitle #1
12Detail information for subtitle #2
desired result would be:
MainTitle, SubTitle #1, Detail Information for subtitle #1
MainTitle, SubTitle #2, Detail Information for subtitle #2
Select c1.Name, c2.Name, d.info
from DataTable d, Categories c1, Categories c2
where c1.CAT = d.CAT
and c2.CAT = d.CAT
and c2.SUBCAT = d.SUBCAT
OK, i'm sure this is an easy one, but can't seem to figure it out. Basically need to search against two database columns (fields) to see if either contain the work "test". Here is an example of the statement but of course dosn't work correctly:
SELECT * FROM tbl_db WHERE skills LIKE 'test' AND title LIKE 'test'
Please note the AND is incorrect.
What i need to accomplish:
if one record contains 'test' in its skills field then SELECT it.
if one record contains 'test' in the title field the SELECT it.
I need to make sure that is 'test' is in both skills and title fields then only display once.
Thanks,
Jake

Hi there,
Need help..
I have a table name Changekitlist and have fields name CKNumber,ck_ID,ck_Name, etc.. Now, I plan to see each CKNumber one at a time so that I can put it in an array which I'll use in VB6 program.
However, If I use the command: "SELECT CKNumber from Changekitlist"
it displays all the CKNumber list that I have (CK001 to CK500) and I cannot store it in an array properly because it display all CKNumber at once and store all the 500 CKNumbers at once in the array.
What will I do so I can display one CK Number at a time, store in an array and loop so that I'll get the next CKNumber and store it again.. Need your advice please. Thanks!
I need to check if the latest record in a table for the current client, based on EFFECTIVE_DATE, has a value of 'Y' in the STATUS field. Sample records for client #19:
CLIENTEFFECTIVE_DATESTATUS
------ -------------- ------
19 08/13/2010Y
1901/10/2013N
1902/03/2014Y
If I run:
SELECT CLIENT, max(EFFECTIVE_DATE), STATUS
FROM FTABLE GROUP BY CLIENT, STATUS
I get the two latest records since STATUS is different:
CLIENTEFFECTIVE_DATESTATUS
------ -------------- ------
1901/10/2013N
1902/03/2014Y
I wrote the following and it works, but it may be causing 'Insufficient Disk Space' error from the database. Is there any way to write this query without temp table?
DECLARE @TEMPMAX
TABLE (CLIENT INT, EDATE DATE)
INSERT INTO @TEMPMAX (CLIENT, EDATE)
SELECT CLIENT_NO, max(EFFECTIVE_DATE)
[Code] ....
CLIENTEFFECTIVE_DATESTATUS
------ -------------- ------
1902/03/2014Y

I have a table UnitRateItems with the following columns
ItemID, Description
and table UnitRates with the following columns
ItemID,Year,UnitRate
UnitRateItems and UnitRates have a primary-foreign key relationship on ItemID.
In UnitRates, there may be several rows with the same value for ItemID but a different value for Year. What I want to do is pick the row with the largest value of Year for a given ItemID. I want to do this for ALL the rows in the table (not just for a particular ItemID).
In other words, I want to return one row in UnitRates for each row in UnitRateItems. I want that one row to be the one with the highest Year for that ItemID.
It sounds simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The MAX function only works on a single column. I can get the MAX Year, but then I can't tell it "pick up the other values that go with the row with the MAX Year".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a form that's filtering search results and porting to a gridview. The drop down is selecting from the date column of SQL, but i want it the default value to show all dates in the gridview. In a normal string field, you can just use "%", but a datetime field won't take this. What can i use to show all dates?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,I've set up a page with a gridview, and I'm trying to create a query based on three parameters and to display all records when the page loads.I have created the first two parameters no problem, but I'm having problems with the last one.The parameter is to be populated by a dropdownlist, where the selectedvalue is numeric. I have done a search and found that I can't use the '%' wildcard as it is for a string data type.I have read somewhere that to get around this I can use the CHAR() function to convert to a character, I have tried this without success.When creating the ControlParameter the datatype gets set to string, which I think is not working becuase the input has to be an integer for it to conver to char, am I right?This is the query, and it is the @Application parameter that I'm having this problem with. SELECT dbo.Issue.IssueID, dbo.Issue.ReportedBy, dbo.Issue.ShortDescription, dbo.Issue.DateReported, dbo.Issue.Status, dbo.Priority.Description AS Priority,
dbo.Application.Application
FROM dbo.Issue INNER JOIN
dbo.Priority ON dbo.Issue.Priority = dbo.Priority.PriorityCode INNER JOIN
dbo.Application ON dbo.Issue.Application = dbo.Application.ApplicationID
WHERE (dbo.Issue.Status LIKE '%' + @Status) AND (dbo.Issue.AssignedTo = @AssignedTo) AND (CHAR(dbo.Application.ApplicationID) LIKE '%' + @Application)
ORDER BY dbo.Priority.PriorityCodeHas anyone managed to do this another way?Thanks
Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Is it possible to generate a identityfield dynamically upon select, like this:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username ASC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name12 - Name23 - Name3
The reason for this, is that i want to change the sort order in many diffrent ways, but i need to get the IDs from 1-?? even when the sort order changes.
Like:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username DESC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name32 - Name23 - Name1

Dear SQL,
Lets say I have a field: User_Names
and it can have more than one name
example: "Yovav,John,Shon"
How can I select all the records that has "Yovav" in them ?
I try some like this:
SELECT * FROM User_Table WHERE User_Names IN ('Yovav')
but it only works if the field User_Names only has "Yovav" in it with no extras...
is there some SQL function to tell if string is found in a field ?
Any hope 4 me ?
