A question for everyone: With the introduction of SQL 2005, we now have to use ANSI-92 T-SQL Syntax and I was wondering if anyone had written a tool to convert queries from old ANSI SQL to the new syntax.
We have some code that has to change for the outer joins, but we also have a lot of code that should change for the inner joins. It doesn't seem that difficult to write something that parses an old piece of code and at least suggests a new version. Especially if the conversion code wasn't SQL code.
Having problems rewriting my join condition using the "inner join" syntax.
My query, working with an intersection table:
SELECT Description, EmailAddress FROM Accounts_Roles r, Accounts_Users u, Accounts_UserRoles ur WHERE r.RoleID = ur.RoleID AND u.UserID = ur.UserID
This works fine, but i want to write it using 'inner join' style, so I tried:
SELECT Description, EmailAddress FROM Accounts_Roles r, Accounts_Users u INNER JOIN Accounts_UserRoles ur ON r.RoleID = ur.RoleID AND u.UserID = ur.UserID
which gives me an error (The column prefix 'r' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.)
Any ideas as to how I'm screwing this up would be appreciated.
I've been using this syntax for years on SQL Server and now comes the time to convert to SQL 2005 (90 compatibility). This syntax returns four rows. Basically it returns one row for each servername/component/context/property/value even when there does not exist a property of 'fff' since it's a left join:
Code Block select t1.* from tblconfiguration t1 ,tblconfiguration t2 where t1.component = 'AdjProcessUtility' and t1.servername *= t2.servername and t1.component *= t2.component and t1.context *= t2.context and t1.property = 'proc' and t2.property = 'fff'
When the converted (using SQL enterprise Mgr) runs it returns no rows:
Code Block SELECT t1.* FROM dbo.tblConfiguration t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblConfiguration t2 ON t1.ServerName = t2.ServerName AND t1.Component = t2.Component AND t1.Context = t2.Context WHERE (t1.Component = 'AdjProcessUtility') AND (t1.Property = 'proc') AND (t2.Property = 'fff')
I don't really see how to change this query to make it work. I've searched the web and I really don't see any examples of left joins which use more than one column.
Here's the table definition:
Code Block CREATE TABLE dbo.tblConfiguration ( ServerName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, Component VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, Context VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, Property VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT PK_tblConfiguration PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED( ServerName, Component, Context, Property ), Value VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL )
I use this table to define reports and there attribues. The rows repeat themselves except for the Property and Value columns Here is some of the data:
Hi everyone.. can anyone help me on how to solve my problem regarding on Select.. im using PB6.5 and running on MSSLQ2005 database.. i attached an image for your reference.. thnks!
When I was using Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) and stored my query result (to file), it was stored in Ansi Encoding.
After I upgrade to SQL Server Management Studio (2005), it seams that when I store the query result to file it's Unicode Encoded. This give me a lot of trouble, when I use other program who I must read this file. For small result set, I can open it in Notepad, save it as ANSI, and then use it in my other program. When the result set is so big that Notepad not can help me, I can't use the stored result set.
There must be a way to store my Query result in Ansi encoding, but I don't know how I can do it. Hope some one know, and can help me solve this big problem.
1) What is the restriction on the max no. of tables that can be used in any one query in v7.0? In 6.5 it was a max of 16 :( 2) Are non-ANSI-style joins permitted in v7? Just that we're thinking of upgrading but 50% of our stored procs/views have the old *= syntax Thanks, Brad Carr
ok people, this is getting seriously frustrating! Please help!
As mentioned in a previous post, one of my batch jobs is printing fields with padding added, even when the table column is defined as varchar.
I've been to the knowledge base, read the article on ansi padding, ran the test scripts. But when I ran the select to display the columns, THE OUTPUT FOR BOTH TABLES WAS IDENTICAL!!! Apparently the SET ANSI_PADDING ON/OFF option had no effect!
What am i doing wrong? What is missing? Do i have to run the Set Ansi Padding option in the Master DB context? Have I unknowingly overridden the option somewhere else? Must I brush up on my COBOL for a career change?
My question here is whether or not MS SQL is processing joins according to the ANSI SQL standard. The situation is this, a friend of mine has the following query (The definition for the tables and the data in them are at the end of the message):
SELECT t.*, v.* FROM Table3 T LEFT OUTER JOIN TableView V ON T.tx = V.tx WHERE V.tx IS NULL and V.part IN (1,2)
My friend is implying that the OUTER join takes precedence over the WHERE clause and should return ALL rows from table3 that don't exist in the view. The view, as you will see below, is a partitioned view. My contention is that the proper join processing is to join the tables first and then apply the WHERE clause to that result set (regardless of the join type). In my friend's case, he expects this query to return four rows. My expectation is that it will return zero rows, because in the result set after the join is performed there are no rows that have a NULL in the v.tx column AND 1 or 2 in the v.part column. The actual ouput agrees with my premise and my friend is sure that this is not proper ANSI SQL join processing. Is this proper ANSI join processing or is MS SQL deviating from the standard?

I have a 6.5 and 2000 db that allows over flow of data to be entered into the fields, but I have another 2000 db that does not allow over flow of data to be entered. How can I check the ansi_defaults in the db's? I went through the book ol but it didn't explain how to see those values. Only how to set it using the SET option. Which was SET ANSI_DEFAULTS off go. Does it set it for the whole db or just my session? I need to change it for all logins to be consistant. Thanks
Help....I have a DB I'm working with that I know doesn't work with theANSI-92 JOIN SYNTAX....I'm not sure how much this limits my ability todeal with the following situation, so I'm soliciting the help of aguru....I apologize for the lack of scripted table structure, but thisdatabase is embedded in an application that I have no true schema for.I have a crude diagram of the tables and some of the relationships, butI've managed to have manually mapped some of the fields in the tablesI'm working with.What I have is a table(A) that I need to join with 10 othertables.....I'm joining on an identifier in the (A) that may exist manytimes in any of the other 10 tables...and may not be in ANY of thetables.When I run this query:SELECTSAMPLES.PK_SampleUID,UDFSAMPLEDATA02.AlphaData,UDF SAMPLEDATA01.AlphaData,UDFSAMPLEDATA03.AlphaData,UDFSAMPLEDATA05.AlphaData, UDFSAMPLEDATA06.AlphaData,UDFSAMPLEDATA07.AlphaData, UDFSAMPLEDATA08.AlphaData,UDFSAMPLEDATA09.AlphaData,UDFSAMPLEDATA10.AlphaDat aFROM SAMPLES, UDFSAMPLEDATA01,UDFSAMPLEDATA02,UDFSAMPLEDATA03,UDFSAMPLEDATA05,U DFSAMPLEDATA06,UDFSAMPLEDATA07 ,UDFSAMPLEDATA08, UDFSAMPLEDATA09, UDFSAMPLEDATA10WHERE UDFSAMPLEDATA02.AlphaData<>' ' ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA01.FK_SampleUID=SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA02.FK_SampleUID=SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA03.FK_SampleUID= SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA05.FK_SampleUID = SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA06.FK_SampleUID = SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA07.FK_SampleUID = SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA08.FK_SampleUID = SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA09.FK_SampleUID=SAMPLES.PK_SampleUID ANDUDFSAMPLEDATA10.FK_SampleUID = SAMPLES.PK_SampleUIDI return what appears to be the gazillion COMBINATIONS of all thefields in all the tables....they query doesn't even finish before theODBC driver I'm working with crashes my VBscript....Is there some way to take the multiple returned rows from a join andwork them all into ONE row per identifier?Any help I can garner would just make my week!TIA!J
I've mentioned this before, but now it's got me stuck. I have atable-valued function that was created using QA in SQL 2000. I can'tedit it using 2005 Mgt Studio, because the property AnsiNullsStatusisn't set (apparently SQL 2000 forgot to set it when creating thefunction). Now I find I really want to edit it in SQL 2005 MS withoutgoing to SQL 2000 QA on my laptop. So, using SQL 2005 MS, I droppedand re-created the function, having obtained the code from SQL 2000 QA.That should fix this, right? When SQL 2005 re-creates the function, itwill specify whatever it needs. But no, I still can't edit it! Theproperty is still not set!Can anyone help? Please?Thanks,Jim Geissman
I have an application that uses the old join syntax instead of theSQL92 standards join syntax.I need to justify changing the code to the new standard.Is there any performance issue related to using the old syntax thatare documented?Are there any other issues that I use to justify a code upgrade?
How to use ANSI-standard JOIN to write follow query which contains two outer join ?

Hello everyone,SQL Server 2000. I have a database in which there are several objectswhich have ansi nuls and quoted identifier turned ON. Is there a way Ican generate a script which:(1) Can identify all objects within the database that have those twoproperties turned ON and(2) Change the properties for these objects and turn the ansi nulls andquoted identifier OFF for those objects.I am trying to avoid going throuh gazillions of objects and manuallydoing this.Thanks for any help.Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Select e.name, e.employee_id, d.department_name from employees e,departments d where e.department_id = d.department_id
An associate recommended that I change this query to add the words INNER JOIN like this:
Select e.name, e.employee_id, d.department_name from employees e inner join departments d on e.department_id = d.department_id
I was of the understanding that the first query was Microsoft SQL Syntax, and that the second example was ANSI SQL syntax, but that they executed on the server the same way. My associate however thinks that the second example will execute faster.
select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = " & Session("Call_ID") & " select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = "& Session("Call_ID") & " and Events_Flag <> 0
in this query
Code:
select iCalls_Calls.Call_ID,iCalls_Calls.Requestor,Type,Scope,iCalls_Calls.Status_ID,iCalls_Status.Status_I D, iCalls_Status.Status_Label from ((iCalls_Calls inner join iCalls_Status on iCalls_Calls.Status_ID=iCalls_Status.Status_ID ) inner join iCalls_Users on iCalls_Calls.Requestor=iCalls_Users.User_ID) left outer join iCalls_Messages on iCalls_Calls.Call_ID=iCalls_Messages.Call_ID where Requestor='" & Session("User_ID") & "' AND iCalls_Calls.Status_ID <> 6 order by iCalls_Calls.Call_ID
((iCalls_Calls inner join iCalls_Status on iCalls_Calls.Status_ID=iCalls_Status.Status_ID )
I want to add ( / ) in between these 2 queries. The reason is for example first query will return '5' and second '10' , so the output i need is 5 / 10. And i need to put this query in a variable (Countrec) like
Code:
select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = " & Session("Call_ID") & " ( / ) select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = "& Session("Call_ID") & " and Events_Flag <> 0 as Countrec
The Final Query would be something like this
Code:
select iCalls_Calls.Call_ID,iCalls_Calls.Requestor,Type,Scope,iCalls_Calls.Status_ID,iCalls_Status.Status_I D, iCalls_Status.Status_Label, select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = " & Session("Call_ID") & " ( / ) select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = "& Session("Call_ID") & " and Events_Flag <> 0 as Countrec from ((iCalls_Calls inner join iCalls_Status on iCalls_Calls.Status_ID=iCalls_Status.Status_ID ) inner join iCalls_Users on iCalls_Calls.Requestor=iCalls_Users.User_ID) left outer join iCalls_Messages on iCalls_Calls.Call_ID=iCalls_Messages.Call_ID where Requestor='" & Session("User_ID") & "' AND iCalls_Calls.Status_ID <> 6 order by iCalls_Calls.Call_ID
but this syntax is not correct..Please can U get me the Correct Syntax.
I have a query that I am running out of sql server 2000 that is pulling duplicate records. I can probably figure it out but I am wondering if someone could look at it and point out errors in my syntax and/or structure.
Thanks!

Hi all! I am new here and I'm also new to SQL.. I hope somebody could help me regarding my problem.
I don't know if this is possible but I would like to have a code that can integrate data from 3 tables. The names of my tables are Savings, Loans and Insurances. Their common field is the MemberID. One member could have zero or more Savings Accounts. At the same time, a member could also have one or more accounts on Loans or Insurances.
How can I get the data that would appear like this:
I would like to combine the production times and down times into one summary where the down time is in the same date and shift as the production time. As you can see in my results below, I can group them correctly, but the down totals obviously repeat for each match. Is there any way of getting to the "Desired results"?
