I have a query that gets three columns of data. PRODUCT_ID, SMALL_TEXT_VALUE, AND LARGE_TEXT_VALUE. I'd like to know if there is a way that I can alter my query below so that whenever SMALL_TEXT_VALUE is Null, it uses the value thats in the LARGE_TEXT_VALUE column. Whenever the small is null, the data I need is in the large column.
My Query:
Select EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.SMALL_TEXT_VALUE, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.LARGE_TEXT_VALUE
From EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES
Where EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.Ext_Att_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.Ext_Att_ID
ORDER BY Product_ID DESC
What is the best way to add two columns into a single column. Lets say I have two columns with first and last names. How can I have a new column with first,last name??
I have a windows app with a particular report that has 2 date columns in it. I need to combine these two columns based on a choice that the user makes on a previous form. So the user enters two dates (beginning and ending) and then makes a selection. So if my query brings back
If the user selects option 1 column1 is displayed on the report, option 2 then column2, and if they select option 3 then columns 1 and 2 must be combined together based on other criteria.
I'm passing a parameter with the selection to my report, is there any way to combine these columns strictly in the report, or would it be easiest to do this in my sql query, and if so how? Keep in mind that I must keep each column separate because after the user makes the selection I have to make certain comparisons to each column before combining them. If any more information is needed then just let me know and I will post it as well.
Greetings, I am trying to "Fix" a poorly normalized table, and I wanted some info on the best way to go about this. It is an orders table that has items associated with it, and also "add-ons" to those items in the same table, like so:
order# Part# Addon1 Addon2 Addon3
What I would like to do is break the addons into a new table. Is there a way using a query/view/SP to bring all the addon fields into one column to create a new table with? or would I have to create some form of append to add the additional columns one at a time. Here is an example of what I want:
Old Table: addon1 Addon2 Addon3
New Table: Addon1 Addon2 Addon3
Of course I would also provide a link between the part and the applicable addons.
I am using the JOIN function to pull data from two tables. Table_A has all columns I need; Table_B contains only 1 column I need. The column I need data from in Table_A is called CITY_NAME and stops May 1st. The column I need in Table_B (which has the same values but begins May 2nd) is labeled CITY. In Table_A I have NULL values starting Mat 1st for CITY_NAME. In Table_B, I have NULL values for any date before May 2nd.
I need to replace the NULL values in table B (May 1st and forward) with the values that are in Table B
SELECT a.DATE, a.STATE, b.CITY FROM TABLE_A a LEFT JOIN TABLE_B b ON a.ID = b.ID
I need to use a function similar to UNION, but TABLE_A has 10 columns and TABLE_3 has 3 columns.
Using MySQL 5, MySQLQuery (latest). Complete Newbie,
I have the following query:
SELECT i.IndivId, i.Surname, i.First_Names, i.Parents, (SELECT i.Surname FROM individuals i, families f where (i.IndivId = f.father_ID) and (i.indivId = f.Family_ID)) as "father" FROM individuals i where i.Parents>0 order by i.Parents;
It returns nulls for the subselect. There are 2 tables, individuals and Parents. I am trying to use a father id. in the PArents table to cause the individual id. (being the father of the individual(s)) to be named in the father column. I have a feeling I'm going wrong here.
I think the query above is pretty self explanatory!
Basically what I am doing is uploading inventory information from our point of sale/inventory management software into our website. I have a third party app that does most of the work for me but I need a view of our item table in our POS that this 3rd party software will use as the data source for what gets uploaded into the web. I have created the view with the following sql statement: CREATE VIEW dbo.vwsfwebitemswine AS SELECT dbo.Item.*, dbo.Category.Name AS CategoryName, dbo.Department.Name AS DepartmentName FROM dbo.Item INNER JOIN dbo.Category ON dbo.Item.CategoryID = dbo.Category.ID INNER JOIN dbo.Department ON dbo.Item.DepartmentID = dbo.Department.ID WHERE (dbo.Item.DepartmentID = 7) AND (dbo.Item.WebItem = 1)
As you can see I am pulling from 3 tables. Item, Category and Department so that I can get the actual category and department names not just their numeric ID codes referenced in the standalone item table. The view data looks like this:
What I need is an additional column created that combines the DepartmentName column values with the CategoryName column values and includes a ~ in between like this.
Hi,I have the following SQLSELECT Table1.Col1, Table3.Col1 AS Expr1,COUNT(Table1.Col2) AS Col2_No, COUNT(Table1.Col3) AS Col3_No etc,FROM Table3INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table3.Col1=Table2.Col1RIGHT OUTER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.Col2=Table2.Col2GROUP BY Table1.Col1, Table3.Col1The output rows have a value in either Table1.Col1 or Table3.Col1 but notboth.I'd like to combine Table1.Col1 and Table3.Col1 and group by the combinedcolumn in the result but don't know how.Thanks gratefully
I have a table whose schema is already defined and populated with data. I would like to create a column named Name that combines the first and last name columns in the following format "last name, first name". I tried to create a formula that concatenated these two columns, but it kept spitting up on me. Any ideas?
I am trying to build a related article display. I have a SQLDataSource that I want to be able to select information (Category) from the table (Articles) based on a querystring (ID). SELECT [Category] FROM [Articles] WHERE ([ArticleID] = @ID) which for an example, lets say ID = 1, and it results as Category = Health.That is easy enough, but how would I then select all columns from the table WHERE Category = Result of first SELECT? SELECT * FROM [Articles] WHERE ([Category] = ??? Result of prior select) Can this be done in 1 select command, or would a store procedure need to be written? I am a little lost, sincr I am using a SQLDataSource, and it will be displayed with a Repeater. Thanks!
First off, here is my query:SELECT DeviationDist.DEVDN, DeviationDist.DEVDD, DEVDA, DEVCT, DEVST, DEVBG, DEVDV, DEVPS, DEVAT, DEVCN, DEVCF, DEVCP, DEVCEFROM DeviationDistINNER JOIN DeviationContact ON DeviationContact.DEVDN = DeviationDist.DEVDNWHERE DeviationDist.DEVDN = '200270'ORDER BY Deviationdist.DEVDN DESCI'm joining the deviationcontact table to the deviation dist table by DEVDN. This query works fine except when the DeviationContact table doesnt contain any records for the DEVDN that the DeviationDist table does contain. In my app, Deviationdist will always have an record for each DEVDN, but DeviationContact may not. I would like to still get the results back for what records exist in the DeviationDist table, even if DeviationContact has no associated records, but still show them if it does...
I have a need to renumber or resequence the line numbers for each unique claim number. For background, one claim number many contain many line numbers. For each claim number, I need the sequence number to begin at 1 and then increment, until a new claim number is reached, at which point the sequence number goes back to 1. Here's an example of what I want the results to look like:
I realize this query is inherently incorrect, but my issue is mainly syntax. The line, "WHEN a.order_id <> b.order_id THEN" is wrong. I want to ensure that a.order_id is not in the settlement table. So I was thinking something along the lines of "WHEN a.order_id not in (select order_id from settlement)" which I know will cause a slower response time, but I'm willing to deal with it. In any case, that syntax doesn't appear to work.
sum( CASE WHEN a.ready_to_pay_flag = 'Y' and a.deduction_type = 'E' and ( CASE WHEN a.order_id <> b.order_id THEN a.transaction_date ELSE b.delivery_date END) used_date datediff(d,used_date, ".$cutOffDate.") < 30) THEN a.amount END) earn_amount_rtp_curr,
I am trying to pull some "notes" from a sql database.....the notes thatare put into the database come via the web and the user is entering itfor a certain task. they are stored in their own table and field andget assigned and incremental ID #.I want to be able to pull up the latest entry to the task, not all ofthe notes just the latest one.. The entry does get a timestamp in thefield so I am thinking I might be able to look at that fieldsomehow.... Right now my query shows all notes / entries for the task.I am an intermediate sql query guy so I hopefully expained enough toget assistance.Let me know if you need to know more.

I am relatively new to the use of coplex queries. Here is a task that I am trying to accomplish.
Source table.
Address ID Workstation

Basically I am trying to identify if there is a duplicate address, if so mark it as such in the duplicate column and then placing the ID into a column under the Workstation. I only want to see the duplicated address once (Distinct?) but mark that it is indeed a duplicate and mark the ID's that it has under the workstations.
Any ideas? I have created a query that does pull the data in the first example that is doing a DTS export to excel. However I need to format this to show the second example.
I have two tables, USER and ROTATION. What I would like to display is the Maximum Start_Date and Maximum End_Date from the ROTATION Table along with the First_Name and Last_Name that is associated with that max entry.
When I just create a select statement that asks for the max value of the Start_Date and End_Date, I get the value I see. However when I try to add the First_Name and Last_Name to the mix, I get the Max Start and End Date Values of all the people in the User Table. I only want one result returned. I'm probably missing something very simple here. Any assistance would be appreciated.
The SQL code I am currently using:
Code SnippetSELECT [USER].FIRST_NAME, [USER].LAST_NAME, MAX(ROTATION.ONCALL_START_DATE) AS Expr1, MAX(ROTATION.ONCALL_END_DATE) AS Expr2 FROM ([USER] INNER JOIN ROTATION ON [USER].USER_ID = ROTATION.USER_ID) GROUP BY [USER].FIRST_NAME, [USER].LAST_NAME
Example of my desired result:
First_Name Last_Name OnCall_Start_Date OnCall_End_Date John Doe 8/10/08 8/17/08
John Doe should be the only result returned because he would have the highest OnCall_Start and OnCall_End in the ROTATION Table.
I am new to SQL and aftering reading my SQL For Dummies book, I still am unsure how to accomplish this task.
The table I need to query contains resident census information. There are multiple rows for each resident. I need to determine if the resident is still active, so I only need to read the last row for each resident to make this determination.
What method can I use to read only the last row for the resident. Here is what I tried previously, but it returns multiple rows for each resident.
select a.firm_id_code as FacAddOnNum, f.shortname as FacName, left(a.resident_code,6) as ResidentCode, (r.res_first_name + ' ' + r.res_last_name) as ResidentName, a.LastDate, a.cens_trans_type
from (select firm_id_code, resident_code, max(dt_cens_trans) as LastDate, cens_trans_type from arrescensus where firm_id_code = @FacId group by firm_id_code, resident_code, dt_cens_trans, cens_trans_type) as a join corp_info.dbo.facilityinfo as f on (a.firm_id_code = f.addonnum) join arresidents as r on ((r.firm_id_code = a.firm_id_code) and (r.resident_code = a.resident_code))
I've got a website with dynamic content, each page (subject) got an ID. On every page there can be a number of links. These are either links to internal other pages on that website or external links.
For the internal links the only thing I need is the ID and Title of that page. Those can be found in the Tbl_subjects. As for external links I need ID, Title and URL which can be found in the Tbl_ext_links.
I've got a table named Tbl_linkboxes with: - a Subject ID which means that this link belongs on this subject page. - Link ID which is either an ID from Tbl_subjects or Tbl_ext_links - External a boolean column to indicate if the Link ID refers to the Subject table or the External links table
There's basically 2 questions: 1) How to make this work? I've got a query below as feeble attempt 2) Should I really really really consider to use 2 columns for IDs and removing the External boolean. And simply setting one of those fields in the columns to >0 while the other is 0.
Okay, here's my attempt
PHP Code:
SELECT s.Sub_id, s.Link_id (l.external IS FALSE, (SELECT Title FROM Tbl_subjects), (SELECT Title,URL FROM Tbl_ext_links) FROM Tbl_subjects s WHERE s.Sub_id = <some id>
Not sure if I should work with IIF here to make it work or something else. I'm almost tempted to kick the boolean column overboard and introduce a JOINT on both columns then, one for external link ids and other for internal page ids.
Amazing how long one can stare at a query and not being able to get it right
I'm attempting to write and update query. So far I have written the following: update vwDISTCITY_TAXCODE set tax_code='04' where DIST_CITY='04'AND year_id=2007 AND frozen_id=0 AND p_id=93549 AND total_taxes=isnull
The last part of the query "total_taxes=isnull" is where the problem lies. Essentially I want to say if all of the other things are true and there is a null value in the total_taxes column, then I I want to set the tax_code to '04'. However how would I phrase the last part correctly?
Good Day;I would appreciate assistance developing a query that I haven't beenable to develop without using a second table. I wish to count thenumber of records that are still open on the first of each month.Each record has an open date and a close date or the close date isnull i.e., the record is not yet closed. I've previously beaten thisby building a table, simply a list of the dates for the first of eachmonth for the next ten years or so, and then selecting values basedupon a date selected from that table. However I'd be happier if Icould do it without the second table. I'd be prepared to accept theMin(Date) for each month as being the first of the month.I've included some DDL statements to build and populate the table ifthat helps. Since the selection is rather small and all the opendates are very close together I think the result will be simply adecreasing count from the month the first record is opened till today.A pseudo code select statement might look likeSelect Min(DateOpened) As DateOfInterest, Count(*) as [Qty Still Open]FROM DetailTWhere DateReceived > DateOfInterest or DateReceived is Null andDateOpened < DateOfInterestGroup by Min(DateOpened)Order by Min(DateOpened)I hope I've explained it sufficiently well.CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DetailT] ([Autonum] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[QDNumber] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[DateOpened] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,[DateReceived] [smalldatetime] NULL ,)Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('C15788', '06/04/2005 9:35', 07/04/2005)Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('B16091', '06/04/2005 9:36', '07/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('B15001', '06/04/2005 9:51', '08/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('M18696', '06/04/2005 9:56', '06/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('C14969', '06/04/2005 10:05', '10/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('O10091', '06/04/2005 10:08', '12/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('D01197', '06/04/2005 10:13')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('H15001', '06/04/2005 10:15', '08/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('J15090', '06/04/2005 10:24', '08/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('J01202', '06/04/2005 10:31')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('G01193', '06/04/2005 10:32')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('K01164', '06/04/2005 10:35')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('K01162', '06/04/2005 10:48')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('F01124', '06/04/2005 10:59')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('H01147', '06/04/2005 11:01')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('S15068', '06/04/2005 11:10')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('E12322', '06/04/2005 11:32', '07/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('A12205', '06/04/2005 11:37', '06/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened, DateReceived)VALUES('D12259', '06/04/2005 11:40', '07/04/2005')Insert into DetailT (QDNumber, DateOpened)VALUES('C03394', '06/04/2005 11:51')If you made it this far thank you for your patience.

I am trying to generate some datasets with some queries...With a given series information, it should return PART_NOs that has STD= 1 and a unique price at that particular 'START', and keeping the'TYPE' in consideration...DB examples below:Main DBIDPART_NOSERIESSTD1A-1A12A-2A13A-3A14D-1D15D-2D0Price DBIDPART_IDTYPESTARTPRICE501X100050511X1000040521Y100060531Y1000050542X100050552X1000040562Y100060572Y1000050582X100090etc.main.ID and Price.PART_ID are paired together.So in an example case, lets say I am querying for SERIES A, with TYPEX. A table should be outputted something likePART_NOA-1100050A-11000040A-3100090Note how it skipped printing A2 because the price is the same as A1.I'm really looking for the SQL code here... I can't get it to filter ondistinct price.SELECT MAIN.PART_NO, PRICING.START, PRICING.PRICEFROM MAIN, PRICINGWHERE (MAIN.SERIES LIKE 'A')AND (MAIN.STD = '1')AND (PRICING.PRICE != '')AND (PRICING.TYPE = 'X')AND (MAIN.ID = PRICING.PART_ID)I've been trying to use GROUP BY and HAVING to get what I need but itdoesn't seem to fit the bill. I guess I'm not terribly clear on how Ican use the SQL DISTINCT command...? If I try and use it in my WHEREstatement it gives me syntax errors, from what I understand you canonly have distinct in the select statement? I'm not sure how tointegrate that into the query to suit my needs.Thanks for any help.

I got some help on here before with building my query. I thought this was working fine but it turns out when there are multiple records for a column type, it only grabs the first one. I need to get all records. Is there an alternative to MAX? I needed to structure it like this because I needed to return each row as a column and this was the way suggessted before. My query:SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT PRODUCT_NUMBER, PRODUCT_NAME, MAX(CASE WHEN ColumnName = 'Federal Specification Number' THEN TheValue ELSE NULL END) AS [Federal Specification Number]FROM (SELECT dbo.PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID AS ProductID, dbo.SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_TEXT_VALUE AS TheValue, dbo.SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.FEATURE_TYPE AS ColumnName, dbo.PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_NUMBER, dbo.PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_NAME FROM dbo.PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES INNER JOINdbo.SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES ON dbo.PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_TYPE_ID = dbo.SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.FEATURE_TYPE_ID INNER JOINdbo.SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES ON dbo.PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_VALUE_ID = dbo.SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_VALUE_ID INNER JOINdbo.PRODUCTS ON dbo.PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID = dbo.PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID UNIONSELECT dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID AS ProductID, ISNULL(dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.SMALL_TEXT_VALUE, dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.LARGE_TEXT_VALUE) AS TheValue, dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.COLUMN_NAME AS ColumnName, PRODUCTS_1.PRODUCT_NUMBER, PRODUCTS_1.PRODUCT_NAME FROM dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES INNER JOINdbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES ON dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.EXT_ATT_ID = dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.EXT_ATT_ID INNER JOIN dbo.PRODUCTS AS PRODUCTS_1 ON dbo.EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID = PRODUCTS_1.PRODUCT_ID) AS t1 WHERE PRODUCT_NUMBER = '02083' GROUP BY PRODUCT_NUMBER, PRODUCT_NAME ORDER BY PRODUCT_NUMBER
This returns: Product_Number Product_Name Federal Specification Number 02083 Di-Electric Grease, 10.5 Wt Oz FDZ-CFR-21-178.3570 There is another record for Federal Specification Number I need to return as well. If I change to MIN, it gets the other record. Anyway I can get both?

I have two tables that are pretty standard I think. Table a has product descriptions and one of those fields is a price. I have a second table that contains fees based on the price. so table B looks like this.
min max fee 0 19.99 2.50 20.00 49.99 3.50 50.00 1000.00 5.50
the max ends up around a million just to be sure we cover all prices. my problem is this I need a very efficient query to poll all the values from A and the correct value from B. All the attempts I have made are not working. I also have to make sure this query is extremely efficient as it is executed several times a minute. If there is a better way in general to structure this I am all ears. I wanted to avoid placing the fees in the product table as the fees are updated often, but if its the only way to get this to work, then that is where I will go.
