I have two tables in my database. Some matching rules are associated with these tables and I want a query which will retrieve those data based on the matching rules provided below:
I have a table called MessageBoard. It has a column called Messages. A user can type text including any html tags through a text area ans when he saves it by clicking a button, the content typed by the user is saved in the MessageBoard Table (in the Messages) column. So once saved, the html tags are kept intact. If I have to find and replace certain html tags, what kind of SQL Query I have to write? For example I want to find all the <pre> </pre> tags and replace it with <p> </p> tags. How do I do this?
Users have to answer 17 simple yes/no questions and the answers are stored in an column for each question as tinyint 0/1 values.
At least that's what seems reasonable to me at the moment.
The table is under my control so I could change it if needed.
Now from several tenthousend or maybe hundreds of thousends of entries I need to find those with the closest match. Of course, I need all of the entries that have the exact same answers and this is no problem. But - at least if there are not enough full matches - then I need all records that have maybe 16,15,14... matches out of the 17 answers.
I have not yet the idea on how to handle this without quering 17*16 different answer schemes.
Given an ID (column B), I need to find which IDs have identical data.That is, given '200', I want the desired result to be:100The idea is that the system sees that id=200 has 5 records with theindicated data in cols C and D.It should then find any other ids with the exact same data for thosecolumns.Note, in this case, both 200 and 100 have (30:1, 30:2, 30:3, 40:4,40:5) so they match. 300 and 400 should NOT be returned.Any bright ideas out there?

We have an application where we want to check to see if the vehicle part on a job matches to our internal parts inventory (PartsInventory table) before we order it. The problem is that sometimes the part number matches exactly and sometimes the part number has '-' or space but if those are removed, will match to our internal part number. Below is what I have so far but it only matches exact part numbers. One example would be if our part number was 1013738-00-C but the job (in RepairOrderLines) had a part number of 101373800C we should consider it a match. Both PartNumbers are varchar(30).Â
SELECT dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber, dbo.PartsInventory.PartDescription, dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake FROM dbo.PartsInventory INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrderLines ON dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber = dbo.RepairOrderLines.PartNumber INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrder ON dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = dbo.RepairOrder.RecordID INNER JOIN dbo.Vehicles ON dbo.RepairOrder.VehicleID = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleID AND dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleMake WHERE (dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = 46001)
Let's say I have a list of IDs called EntryID and each EntryID can belong to ONE table out of a group of six, what is the best way to get a listing of these?
For example:
select r.* from #Reminders r left join mytable1 mt1 on (r.EntryID = mt1.EntryID) left join mytable2 mt2 on (r.EntryID = mt2.EntryID) left join mytable3 mt3 on (r.EntryID = mt3.EntryID) left join mytable4 mt4 on (r.EntryID = mt4.EntryID)
As you can see, #Reminders has one field called EntryID (and many rows).
In my example above, only ONE of those tables will actually be able to join but I have no idea which one has the matching EntryID.
What is the best way for me to do this? I want to grab "ReportStatus" from the corresponding "mytable"... (each "mytable" has a ReportStatus column)
I have a patient record and emergency contact information. I need to find duplicate phone numbers in emergency contact table based on relationship type (RelationType0 between emergency contact and patient. For example, if patient was a child and has mother listed twice with same number, I need to filter these records. The case would be true if there was a father listed, in any cases there should be one father or one mother listed for patient regardless. The link between patient and emergency contact is person_gu. If two siblings linked to same person_gu, there should be still one emergency contact listed.
Below is the schema structure:
Person_Info: PersonID, Person Info contains everyone (patient, vistor, Emergecy contact) First and last names Patient_Info: PatientID, table contains patient ID and other information Patient_PersonRelation: Person_ID, patientID, RelationType Address: Contains address of all person and patient (key PersonID) Phone: Contains phone # of everyone (key is personID)
The goal to find matching phone for same person based on relationship type (If siblings, then only list one record for parent because the matching phones are not duplicates).
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
When Station = 'D_CC' then Cycle_Index suppose to start a new cycle. So my problem is trying to find the next 'D_CC' and store the incremental cycle # in a New_Cycle column.
Updated: Sorry to confuse you by changing the text color!
Case when Station = 'D_CC' then Cycle_Index = Cycle_Index + 1; based on the prior cycle # and continuos to find next 'D_CC' until the end; regardles whatever in between the prior D_CC to next D_CC.
Bottom line is searching the next value from Station = D_CC then cycle # in Cycle_Index column need to be incremented by 1 and stored the new cycle # in New_Cycle column as the actual cycle.
Okay I've posted something like this in another area but it doesn't seem to be focused towards the right people. I need ya'll SQL experts! I have a database table that has 5 columns: Time Status Message Source IP The Status column has only two choices "up" or "down" I'm looking for some kind of advanced query that will do the following: I need the query in my application to pull the table and then match up IP, Status, and Message columns. It should only find One match and then once it has found a match it needs to recognize that one is an "up" status and one is a "down" status and then remove them from the database. Does that make sense? Is it impossible?
Hi all,I have two tables:workgroups (wg_id, wg_name)workgroups_keywords (wgk_wg_id, wgk_keyword)Each workgroup has an associated list of one or more keywords.What I want do to at first was given a particular list of keywordsbring back a list of workgroups that have at least one matching keywordassociated with it.I have the following query:select distinct(wg_id), wg_namefrom workgroups, workgroups_keywordswherewgk_keyword in (#QuotedValueList(Keywords.wgk_keyword)#)andwg_id = wgk_wg_idorder by wg_nameThis works great.However, is there a way in a single query to order the returned rows bythe number of keywords that are found to be matching (in other words anorder by relevancy, the more keywords that match the more relevant thereturned row)?Thanks in advance.David

I have three tables X,Y,Z. Table 'Y' is having foreign key constraints on tables 'X' and 'Z' (which happen to be primary key tables). I would like to run a query in which I can retrieve rows from Table 'X' only if the matching rows in Table 'Y' have "ALL" their matching rows available in a simple query being run on Table "Z". The "All" part is very important.
For more clarification, let me give you an example. Table "X" is equivalent to a mathematical "Equation" table which consists of an equation made up of several "Fields". These fields are stored in Table "Z". Table "Y" contains the primary keys from Tables "X" and "Z". i.e. Table "Y" determines what fields are required for an equation to be complete.
I am having a query "Q" on Table "Z" (Fields table) which returns me a bunch of Fields. Now, on the basis of these fields, I want to retrieve only those Equations (Table "X") which have "ALL" their required Fields present in the bunch retrieved by the Query "Q".
I hope I am clear enough. Does anyone have any solutions???
I need to know All those unique IDs that have "start" against them, but have not got "stop" against them, I'm not interested in the other content strings.
I need to query it based on a specific application ID.
there will be many records from each IDnum, but only one start for each. I need to know all those IDnums that have "started" and not "stopped"
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value ----------- ----- colB Â Â Â Â 123 colA Â Â Â Â XYZ

I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups. What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:

Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-

Hello all,I tryed to simplify the problem as much as possible. I'll start with theDDL:----------------------------------CREATE TABLE #MyTable(NoID INT,Type CHAR,DateTransaction DATETIME)INSERT INTO #MyTable (NoID, Type, DateTransaction)SELECT 1 AS NoID, 'A' AS Type, '2004-01-01' AS DateTransaction UNION ALLSELECT 2, 'C', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 3, 'B', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 4, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 5, 'B', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 6, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 7, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 8, 'B', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 9, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 10, 'C', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 11, 'B', '2004-01-03'----------------------------------What I want is all the same Type which, for a same DateTransaction, as adifferent Type inserte beetween them when data is sorted by DateTransactionand NoID. In this case I would like:Type DateTransaction------ -----------------C 2004-01-02 /* B is between two C (NoID = 5) */A 2004-01-03 /* B is between tow A (NoID = 8) */B 2004-01-03 /* A and C are between two B (NoID = 9 and10) */All of these have for the corresponding date at least one transaction with adifferent type between.In the real situation NoID is an autoincrement field, the PK. And theDateTransaction hasn't any time, just a round date.Any suggestion?Thanks for your time.Yannick

Basically, I track complaints and each complaint can have 1 or more subjects associated with it. The structure is the complaint is referenced in a complaintsubject row and I use the persons table to find out detail of the complaintsubject (firstname, middlename, lastname) complaintsubject just holds Id's to normalize the database rather than have all details of persons table copied into every complaint (pretty basic so far).
My first question is regarding structure...since my complaint to complaintsubject relationship is 1 to many I assume the best way to associate the two is to have a FileNumber field in the complaintsubject linking back to a complaint. Is there any other design that is better suited to this type of relationship?
Second question and most important: I need a way to search by a string that appears in any part of the firstname, middlenames, lastname. I have the query for this and its working. But the problem arises when I have more than one match (i.e. 2 or more people are involved in the complaint where the match string fits both - example say we have a match string of 'an' and in complaint xyz 2 people involved are Sandy Blah and Andy Blue). Now when I do my join to pull out the complaints that involve any people with a name containing 'an' the result set returns the same complaint twice, one for Sandy Blah and the other for Andy Blue). Since I am only interested in certain complaint details and not interested in having the actual people involved returned in the result set, I would like to return only 1 row for each complaint when more than one match is found for the firstname,middlenames,lastname. I could live with having the duplicate rows and process them easily application side, but I am sending a lot of duplicate information over the wire for nothing and would like to optimize this.
I hope I have described this well enough and would greatly, greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
