Contained in this table are a lot of duplicate names, and even different addresses. I would like to return an entire row of UNIQUE information based upon “first_name + last name”. Now I know just enough of sql to pull out unique first + last names, but not the entire row based upon this unique information.
I'm trying to return a query based on the dateadd function. I have a column in the database called date_added which is am successfully using the the DATEADD function above as date1. The Var1 variable I need to populate from the database too from a column called life_span which is an int data type. The error I get is An expression of non-boolean type specified in context where a condition is expected near select
My query is as follows: select guid, dateadd(day,life_span,date_added) as datepayday. From User_table
I need to call the stored procedure below. Basically what I need to know is if the query returns a record? Note I would be happy if I could just return the number Zero if no records are returned. Can someone please help me out here?Here is my query so far in SQL Server. I just don't know how to return a value based upon the result of the records returned from the query. GOCREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetNameStatus]( @CountryId decimal, @NameId decimal, @DescriptionId decimal)AS SELECT Name.Active FROM Name INNER JOIN NameDescription ON Name.NameId = NameDescription.NameId WHERE Name.CountryId=@CountryId AND Name.NameId=@NameId AND NameDescription.DescriptionId=@DescriptionId AND Name.Active='Y'
Hi, Could you tell me if this is possible? How do I return results using an entire column as part of the search parameter? I need to do this in the sql rather than selecting the contents and iterating through it as it would take too long.
eg. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tPopupKeywords]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [title] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [description] [nvarchar](2000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO dbo.tPopupKeywords(title, description) SELECT 'check', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'for', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'keywords', 'desc'
select dbo.tpopupkeywords.title where 'This is an example of a passed in string to check if any keywords are returned.' LIKE '% ' + dbo.tpopupkeywords.title + ' %' --Does this bit need to do a select??
May i know what is the SQL query to create another intermediate column which is used to store the sum of two columns of each and every record. Thank you.

How do I write the SQL query so that the values in tblProduct become column, currently I have 20 items in that table. So, it will return something like this according to the information that I provide above?
I have a query which returns number of columns using pivot ( rows into columns -- dynamic sql pivot columns). Since it is dynamic pivot, how can I bind this returned values into report builder matrix reports.
Look at this example :
First time query returns StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3
Second time query returns StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Col4 | Col5 | Col6 ...
How to bind this query into report builder 3.0 reports?
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to dynamically delete all of the values for a group of columns. What I mean by this is that lets say a table (TableA) has five fields (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, and Field5) with 100 rows of data. I want to delete all of the data in Field1, Field2, and Field4. I do not want to delete any of the data in Field3 and Field5. I would then end up with a table with 5 fields and 100 row, but only 2 fields (Field3 and Field5) have data.
The catch is that I can't hardcode the field names of the fields I want to clear out (Field1, Field2, and Field4) into the SQL. This is because if any new fields are eventually added to the table I want them to be cleared out as well without modifying the SQL.
I can hardcode the field names of the fields that I want to keep values for (Field3 and Field5) in the SQL.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm trying to create a query that searches an entire database for keywords inside of the columns for each table within the database. For instance my tables have 2 columns one named ID and the other Permission, I'd like it be able to return all the lines that are associated with that keyword. So if I search "Schedule" it returns all the lines containing that word in it within that database.
I have query which retrieves multiple column vary from 5 to 15 based on input parameter passed.I am using table to map all this column.If column is not retrieved in the dataset(I am not talking abt Null data but column is completely missing) then I want to hide it in my report.
I need to search all of the tables in a DB for a specific number (say, 123456). I am unsure of which tables may have this number in it. Is there a way to search an entire DB for a specific criteria?
This is what I want:
Select * From [db] where [column] like '%123456%'
I understand why this dosen't work (the DB doesn't have column names), but is there a way to display table names where this number exists? If I had that, then I could search the tables individually.
I'd like to generate the calculated column SCORE based on various scenarios in the other columns. eg.
if n1<10 and n2<10 then i=i + 1 if n4-n3=1 then i=i + 1 if more than 2 consecutive numbers then i=i + 1
So, I need to build the score. I've tried the procedure below and it works as a pass or fail but is too limiting. I'd like something that increments the variable @test1.
declare @test1 int set @test1=0 select top 10 n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6, case when ( n1=2 and n2>5 ) then @test1+1 else @test1 end as t2 from allNumbers
Here's what I'm trying to do:I have a table, which I don't have administration over, with 4 interestingfields:RecordCount - an auto incrementing primary keyCardNumber - integerCompanyID - integerAccessPriv - an string that varies constantlyThere could be identical CardNumber's, but they must have differentCompanyId's. A data set might look like this:RecordCount | CardNumber | CompanyID | AccessPriv1 | 1 | 82 | all2 | 2 | 82 | level 13 | 2 | 84 | all4 | 1 | 82 | noneThe table is transactional, so old records will not be flushed even thoughnew records contain the most current data (records 1 and 4 in this case). I'm wondering if there's a way to do a SQL SELECT query that, as it goesfrom the beginning to the end of the table, overwrites previous recordswhen later CardNumber's and CompanyID's match the previous records. So inthis case, the query would only return rows 2-4 because record 4'sCardNumber and CompanyID match record 1's.I know this is possible with application logic, but is it possible with anSQL query?Thanks.
Is their a way to return only a portion of a string returned from a query? Please look at the following query and what it Yields: select UserName from MyDirectory NTSRJoe MeekletonNTSRAnfreesa ClinklHeadBRYAmy KooplosaAKVermian Strikoos How can I fix this query so that it returns everything to the right of the '' character? So I want the query to instead return the following: Joe MeekletonAnfreesa ClinklHeadAmy KooplosaVermian Strikoos
I'm storing records that contain a date/time data type. I am needing two links on a reports page (asp), the first should return all records for the current month and the second link should return all records for the last three months (including current month). I have no idea how to just sort by month.
I'm also not sure what to include here in this post to help you answer my question. On the form that is submitted initially the text field is named "txtSubmitDate" and in the database it's stored in a field called "submitdate" and is 8 characters in length.
I've tried: 'SELECT TODAY'S MONTH SqlJunk = "SELECT * FROM eom WHERE MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1"
'SELECT TODAY'S MONTH and the last 2 months SqlJunk2 = "SELECT * FROM eom WHERE MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE()) OR MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 OR MONTH(submitdate) = MONTH(GETDATE())-2 ORDER BY submitdate ASC"
These are not working because it can't handle the change in year (going from january 2005 back to december 2004, etc).
and so on following the series for every set of same ID with 5 entries for each ID
I need to Find Maximum interval time for each ID and for condition in given message (between message like Start and Stop) I used below query and it works fine
select Id, max(CreatedDate) AS 'MaxDate',min(CreatedDate) AS 'MinDate', DATEDIFF(second,min(CreatedDate),max(CreatedDate)) AS 'MaxResponseTimeinSeconds' from Table where Id in ( SELECT distinct Id from Table where Message like 'stop') group by Id
Above query displays max response time for ID A00ze as 20 minutes, but stop message has occured at 7.15. I would need to modify the query to return max response time as 15 min(from 7.00 to 7.15).
Difference of starttime(where A00ze id started) and stoptime(where stop string is found in message).
I'm having some difficulty getting the appropriate results for my scenerio. I have two different datasets that I'm using. One is consisting of two joined tables and the other consisting of one sp. The sp's parameters rely on two things- one is the companyNum (inputed when the user runs the report) and two is the ContactNumType. The ContactTypeNum comes from the dataset of tables. I need to have a table consisting of this format:
ContactNumType1 (From the Tables) File_Name1 (From the sp) File_Name4 (From the sp) File_Name3 (From the sp)
ContactNumType2 (From the Tables) File_Name2 (From the sp) File_Name7(From the sp)
ContactNumType3 (From the Tables) File_Name5 (From the sp)
ContactNumType4 (From the Tables) File_Name6 (From the sp)
File_Name10 (From the sp) File_Name8(From the sp) File_Name9 (From the sp)
So essentially what is going on is that every returned File_Name is grouped based upon the type of ContactNumType. My table returns the appropriate ContactNumTypes and the appropriate number of File_Names but returns only the first File_Name for each row. The File_Names should only grouped by the ContactTypeNums and each be unique. Is there any way to do that?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited: I still am trying to work this out. I've tried a few run-arounds but none have worked. Adding custom code apparently is too risky at this point because of the security precautions that I've been instructed to take. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this project has been going on for days now....
We were asked to create an SQL function to return a unit price based on various criteria. The function works fine except for the tiered pricing (use of BillingPriceTable) calculation. What we need to do is break up the total quantity passed to the function and return the total of prices found. In our example, we passed a quantity of 9,721 units and need to return a total price of 231.92 using the table below.
Low Qty High Qty Fee Actual Qty Price 0 7500 0.025 7500 187.50 7501 15000 0.020 2221 44.42
Below is the table definition that we have to work with (ugghh).
What we have so far is shown below. The columns that start with bdxx are the "High Qty" values and the columns that start with prxx are the price for that quantity range. So, the current SELECT is shown below and it returns the price based on the entire qty of 9,721 and returns a unit price of 0.020 and should return 0.023857628
The current SELECT is shown below and is returning 0.020 which is the fee for the total rather than calculating the fee twice, once for the 0-7500 and again for the 7501-15000 (actually 7501-9721). Two things came to mind, one was a WHILE loop and the other was possibly a ranking function of some sort.
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetPrice] ( @plincdvarchar(3), @pgrpcodevarchar(4), @pitmcodevarchar(4), @qtydecimal(10,1) = 1, @corpnbrvarchar(9) )
Have a table with multiple rows, some columns that are bit (0,1).
Code: INSERT INTO UserAccessRights ( UserID, AllowPhone, AllowTelevision, AllowComputer, AllowVisitation) SELECT 434, 1, 0, 1, 1 UNION ALL SELECT 512, 0, 0, 1, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 982, 0, 1, 1, 1
Now, I'd like to run the query one user at a time. I'm missing something here, as I can't quite figure out how to only reutrn the results the where the value in the column = 1.
My pseudocode query would be something like...
Code: select uar.userID, sc.columnName from UserAccessRights uar JOIN sc.syscolumns sc ON ?? = ?? where uar.userID = 982 and [sc.columnname] = 1
Hello-I'm fairly new to writing SQL statements and would greatly appreciatesome help on this one.I'm working on a project for a non-profit that I volunteer for. Partof the database tracks membership using tables like this:PersonInfo-------------------PersonID (primary key)FirstNameLastNameetc..PeopleMemberships-------------------PPLMembershipIP (primary key)PersonIDMembershipTypeIDFeePaidMembershipTypes--------------------MembershipTypeID (primary key)MembershipYearStandardFeeMembershipDescription (varchar)Just because a person is in PersonInfo, doesn't mean they have anythingin PeopleMemberships (they can be in the databse for other reasons andnot have or have ever had a membership).Membership fees vary by year and type of membership and they want toretain a history of a person's memberships.What I'm looking to do here is write a query (a view in SQL Server)that will return the following InfoPersonID, MostRecentMembershipYear, FeePaidForThatMembership,DescriptionOfThatMembershipI'm thinking that I'd use max(MembershipYear), but that requires groupby for the other columns, so I'm getting all of the people'smemberships returned.I'm pretty sure this can be best done with a subquery, but I'm not surehow.Can someone please point me in the right direction or provide a samplethat I can learn from?Kindly,Ken
I have 2 tables each containing a material type. Table 1 contains material from their 3D application. Table 2 contains material with specific values that is not ours and we cannot rename or edit the data. I need a type of junction or mapping table that can connect the user material to the preset material. for example:
User Material = Wood-MDF Preset Material = MDF Panel
I figured that i would make this table with 3 fields (ID, UserMaterialID, PresetMaterialID).How would i then construct a query view / Stored procedure that would return the Preset data values based on the user material id?
Goal: My request is the retrieve the return result from sp_Test as 8, 2, 4, 1 ,3 (take a look at picture 1) based on the chronological list from User-Defined Table Type dbo.tvf_id.
Problem: When I execute the stored procedure I sp_Test I retrive the list that is from 1 to 8. I don't know how to do it?
Information: I'm using SQL server 2012
create table datatable (id int, name varchar(100), email varchar(10), phone varchar(10), cellphone varchar(10), none varchar(10) ); insert into datatable values
johnny writes "I am trying to return only the columns from multiple tables that are NOT NULL for a specific ID. Once I have the tables JOINED is there a way to only get those columns that are populated. Thanks."
I have tried DISTINCT and GROUP BY. DISTINCT will unique on every column listed so I will end up with the name repetred in the Name column.
SELECT DISIINCT Name, Factor1, Factor2 => I do not want the Factor columns involved in the distinct. This will cause the same name to appear in more than one row.
Group by will requires that I place the remaininf 99 columns in a function in order to have the columns listed.
SELECT Name, MAX(Address)... => adding 99 fields.
Is there a way get only the unique Names with the 99 other columns with out having to manually put the other 99 columns in functions?
I want in one query return columns from tables where exist in different sql bases.
In MS Access can link tables from many defferents sql bases or other MSAccess bases and finally can make a simple query where return columns from tables where exist in different bases.
How can i have the same functionality in Visual Basic .Net 2005 (or Visual Basic 6.0)
I have a table where hours are being loaded in a weekly basis. The YearWeek is populated when the data is loaded. The value format of the Year Week is 2015-39, 2015-41, etc. I need to calculate the total hours per Fiscal Year.For example, week '2015-39' will be return FY15 and week '2015-41' will return FY16, and so on. By extracting the year, I can do a group by and have total hours for each year.
Currently, I have it working by splitting the value into year and week and then looping through each year and week, so I can assign the totals to the corresponding FY.select sum(hours) as total, yearweek from tablename group by yearweek...Then I loop through using C#.I can return the FY using an actual date,how to do it for year-week format for any given year.
select CASE WHEN CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) > SMALLDATETIMEFROMPARTS(DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()),09,30,00,000) THEN DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()) + 1 ELSE DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()) END AS FY
As part of analyzing our fire department's response times, we measure the time it takes to get a certain amount of people on a fire scene. I have two table that contains incident data. The incident table contains one row per incident. The apparatus table contains multiple rows per incident with each row contain the information for each unit. They are connected by the incident key with a one to many relationship.
The column apparatus.num_personnel contains the count of personnel for each fire truck. The goal is to capture the response time of the unit that is carrying the 10th person to the scene. In the example below, E78 was the unit that the sum of apparatus.num_personnel was => 10. There response time of 0:06:18 is returned to the incident table.
I realize I will need to create a logical test (calculated column on the incident table) that sums the number of personnel for each incident and then when that number => 10, then return the MIN Response Time of that row. From past projects, I understand I can create a temporary table (ADD COLUMNS) which will iterate over each incident row, comparing the units for that incident. I"m just not sure how to put it all together.
Overview of data model. The incident and apparatus are my data tables and the rest are lookup tables. The parameter table is used for a percentile measure, but doesn't play a role with this project.
