Query Postcode Issue (IF Statement)?
Feb 25, 2008
Hi Everyone,
Basically i've got a postcode query problem, i have a column with postcodes like:
abc 123
abcd 123
ab 123
What im trying to do is query only the first set on digits without the 123.
So my output should be:
abc
abcd
ab
Ive used the following technique:
select TRIM(substring(postcode,1,if(instr(postcode," ")=0,length(postcode),instr(postcode," ")))) from dbTest;
This works perfect in MySQL but not in sql enterprise, as it doesnt like the if syntax as well as the instr();
Any solutions please?? any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks

Hello
I've taken over a database where for many tables the postcode field (equivilent to the US Zip Code) is the obvious primary key. [Mapping postcodes to distict or various types of area for statistical analysis]. However the people who set up the database have continually used an auto generated number for the primary key.
There are never any duplicate postcodes in the various tables, so my question is what is the advantage of either using or not using the postcodes as primary keys.

Hello,
Does anyone have some code that can do the following:
Postcode N12 5FF
Postcode NG4 5FF
I need to get the postcode N12 5FF based on the 'N' bt leave the NG4 5FF postcode behind. So obviously using LEFT will not work, does any have any code that will strip of the first alpha characters?
Thank you.

We have many postcodes in our database that are UK ones. Some cutomers enter then as one string. Example BA124XT
In the SQL table we have two columns PostCode and Country. Is it possible to write a SQL script that will insert a space three characters from the right of the postcode where the country is UK?
So before it would be BA124XT and after BA12 4XT for them all?

Hi - I know this isn't really a specific SQL Server question but Ican't think of a better forum.I want to implement a more sophisticated UK postcode search on a site- "LIKE 'NW%'" etc, is not bringing back good enough results.A feature that would allow me to ask: "give me all outward postcodesin a 30 mile radius of NW10" would be ideal.Has anyone had to do this before? - any advice on how muchappreciated. Some of the postcode products available don't reallyseem to offer this feature.NH

I have a column in the database that stored moduleId that are seperated by '|' (pipes). For Example: '527|343|454'
I need to add a where clause to a query that pulls the data based on a
ModuleId. For Example: select * from table where 527 in [column above]
Does anyone know how I can do this in a query? Normally I could
use an IN statement, ex: select * from table where 527 in (527,343,454)
How can I get the column in that format?
Thanks for the help in advance,

Hello,
I have an if statement for one of my columns in my query.
I want to write the if statement as a part of my select statement.
How would I do that. Do to a couple of rules I am not allowed to write a stored procedure for this.
I could use the "decode function" but
I have something like this:
if column1 = '1' or column2 = '2' then select "Yes" etc..
I tried doing select decode (column1 or column2, , , ) but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have a table called notes, with thousands of rows of "notes" entered by customer services agents. Each row has an account number, date and username columns.
An account can have many notes on thetable.
How can I select the last two notes on the table left for each account? Trying to use select top 2, but of course it's only giving me the top 2 notes for ALL accounts.
Please help.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
I have a C# server application which clients can send arbitrary SQL statements to. These can be absolutely anything - creating tables/views, selecting from tables/views, inserts, updates, deletes, you name it.
There are two return parameters from the server method which executes the SQL - a results set containing the data, and a count of the rows that were updated - (either one or the other should be populated depending on the type of command sent to it). To deal with this, what I planned on doing was (pseudocode follows..):
try
{
reader = OpenReaderCursor(statement)
}
catch
{
updatedCount = ExecuteNonQueryCommand(statement)
}
Unfortunately this doesn't really work, as OpenReaderCursor is able to execute Non Queries (eg. UPDATE/INSERT/DELETEs etc) but doesn't give me a row count, and trying the other way round, ExecuteNonQueryCommand is happy to execute SELECT statements, but I can't then of course return a results set as I don't have access to it.
My question then, if you will excuse the waffle above, is "Is there a simple way of determining if a string containing an SQL statement is a query?" - or will I have to come up with some way of dealing with this in my application code?
Please don't slate the design (ideally I would have two methods on the server, one for queries which returns results and the other for nonqueries which returns an updatecount) but there's nothing I can do, this is how it must be done (the interface was defined long long ago)
Thanks for your time, all ideas appreciated

Why couldn't they make SQL syntax error mistakes a little less vague.
Anyway, I was wondering, is it possible to use a set in your case statement?
CASE
(
select distinct tbhtg.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeGroupingCd
from tblTrainingBlockHistory tbh
inner join tblTrainingBlockHistoryType tbht on tbh.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeCd = tbht.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeCd
inner join tblTrainingBlockHistoryTypeGrouping tbhtg on tbht.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeGroupingCd = tbhtg.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeGroupingCd
where (select dbo.fnTrainingBlockStatus( 1234, getdate())) = tbht.TrainingBlockHistoryTypeCd
)
WHEN 'S' then (COUNT(DISTINCT TRD.TrainingBlockHistoryId) = COUNT(DISTINCT SWT.TrainingBlockHistoryId)) end
This is giving me an error on the WHEN statement. The error is "Incorrect syntax near '='" Have no idea how to fix this.
But the select statement seems to work, and as far as I can tell, that is how you write a CASE statement.
Also, this CASE statement is inside the HAVING clause - is that going to be a problem?

Table 2: TBSALESENTRY
FK: SALESNO
This query is return 2 rows.
SELECT PAYMTDID AS TYPE, CONVERT(CHAR(8),SALESDATE,112) AS DATE, SUM(SALESAMT) AS AMOUNT FROM TBSALESHEADER A, TBSALESENTRY B WHERE A.SALESNO = B.SALESNO AND CONVERT(CHAR(8),SALESDATE,112) = '20070701'
GROUP BY PAYMTDID,CONVERT(CHAR(8),SALESDATE,112)
TYPE DATE AMOUNT
----------------------------------------------------------
0 20070701 3041.29
1 20070701 1442.20
Issue:
Instead of retrieving 2 rows showing 2 type of records, I want to display the 2 type in 2 columns (need to return in 1 row).
Can I get this desired result as following in 1 query statement:
DATE AMOUNT (TYPE 1) AMOUNT (TYPE 2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20070701 3041.29 1442.20

Hi,
I am having trouble getting my query right. i am using a stored procedure to retrieve this data and bind it to my grid view.
Problem: I can't associate a field with a column that i am returning with my record set.
Details: I have query that i want to return 9 columns (UserName, Pre-Approved, Processing, Underwriting, Conditioned, Approved, Docs Out, Docs Back, Conditions Met). The username column lists all loan agents. I want the other 8 columns to list the name of the borrower (crestline..borrower.lastname) that is associate with that loan agent and that loan state. Each time a record is found where there is a valid loan agent (UserName) that meets the 'where' conditions, there will be a borrower. the 'LoanKey' field is a primary key that lets me get the borrower name from the borrower table. I dont know how to construct my query such that those borrower names get associated with their respective column header.
if the query works, my Gridview should look like this ('Name' refers to the borrower name)
UserName | Pre-Approved | Processing | UnderWriting | Conditioned | Approved | Docs Out | Docs Back | Conditions Met
Bob | | | | Name | | | |
Bob | | Name | | | | | |
Bob | | | | | | | Name |
Steve | | | Name | | | | |
Steve | | | | | | Name | |
Here is my sql call:
SELECT cfcdb..users.username, crestline..borrower.lastname,CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Pre-Approved' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Pre-Approved',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Processing' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Processing',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Underwriting' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Underwriting',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Conditioned' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Conditioned',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Approved' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Approved',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Docs Out' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Docs Out',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Docs Back' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Docs Back',CASE WHEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus='Conditions Met' THEN crestline..loansp.LoanStatus ELSE NULL END AS 'Conditions Met'FROM cfcdb..usersinner join (crestline..loansp inner join crestline..borrower on crestline..loansp.loankey = crestline..borrower.loankey)on crestline..loansp.fstnamelo=cfcdb..users.firstname AND crestline..loansp.lstnamelo=cfcdb..users.lastnameinner join cfcdb..users_roleson cfcdb..users.username = cfcdb..users_roles.usernamewhere cfcdb..users.active = 1 AND cfcdb..users_roles.groupid = 'agent'AND crestline..loansp.enloanstat <> 'Closed' AND crestline..loansp.enloanstat <> 'Cancelled' AND crestline..loansp.enloanstat <> 'Declined' AND crestline..loansp.enloanstat <> 'On Hold'order by cfcdb..users.username asc
