Question About Searching
Mar 31, 2002
I'm quite new to SQL, just wondering is there a way to search
the entire database (instead of a table using select) for something?
Say I create a new database to keep track of my CDs. A new table is
created in this database for each CD, and of course each row of this
table represents one track. Is there a way, either using tsql or through
the enterprise manager or query analyzer, to say list all songs that are
sung by a singer with the first name "John"?
I've tried the object finder in query analyzer, doesn't quite work.
I'm looking for something like
select * from *
where singerfirstname = 'John'
This of course doesn't work...
please help! Thanks so much in advance!

I am trying to find all the email addresses with a " ._" I use '%._%' but it returns all records. What is the correct syntax? Also, is there a way to search for a field where the underscore is followed by a single alpha letter and then another underscore? like bla_A_bla or bla_Z_bla.thanksMilton
SELECT DISTINCT fname, lname, inet
FROM ocadbo.notes
where inet like '%._%'

Dear ASP.NET
How can I find records that contain a STRING from some (more than one) other fields ?
for example, I have:
Name_First = "aaa"
Name_Middle = "bbb"
Name_Last = "ccc"
Key_Words = "aaa,bbb,ccc"
(includes all values - comma separated)
How can I do the SELECT so that when I search for "bbb" on Key_Words I will get my record ?
Should I use "LIKE %aaa%" or something like this ?
(should I keep the comma separators ?)
Thanks in advance, Yovav.

Let say a user wants to search for the name Joe Soap
I have two column's in my table, firstname and lastname
So if I do:
Code:
SELECT firstname, lastname FROM table WHERE firstname LIKE '%Joe Soap%' OR lastname LIKE '%Joe Soap%'
it returns nothing! So do I have to split the string Joe Soap or something ?

my app use a registration table
StudReg
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stRegDt smalldatetime,
stRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)
the application registers the student details to a course.
each student gets a new registration no during registration.
the app should identify repeaters to a particular course by checking another
table RegHistory, which stores the details of student registrations for the previous 5 years.
RegHistory
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stPrevRegDt smalldatetime,
stPrevRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)
the application must search the RegHistory table and list out those students who are the repeaters.
the sample entries in the two tables are as follows
StudReg
stName stDOB stGuardianName stRegDt stRegNo courseid
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2004 12345 1
def 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2004 12346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...
mno 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2004 12400 1
RegHistory
stName stDOB stGuardianName stPrevRegDt stPrevRegNo courseId
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2001 2345 1
ghi 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2001 2346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...
dfg 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2001 2400 1
to determine whether a student is a repeater or not, we have to search for an exact match in RegHistory table (where the student name, guardian name and date of birth in both tables match with the corresponding entries in Registration table).
here is my question,
if there are 100,000 students registering in each academic year, we will have
500,000 records in RegHistory Table and 100,000 records in studReg table
if i start searching for a repeater, i guess i will have to loop through all records in studReg, for an exact match in RegHistory, which wil be a time consuming process.
is there any other options to search for repeaters ?

I am searching for an add-in to ssms which lets me choose which server to deploy my code.
For example, I have a complete statement with CREATE PROCEDURE and all code in my query window.
Now I want to run/deploy this code to many servers at once.
Instead of having to reconnect to all server (5), I want an add-in which have checkboxes for me to select.
Anyone heard of this?

Hi,I have come to point in my db design where I'm trying to figure whichis the best approach in making it generic (does this really matter?!?)Senario - I have a table called JOBS and this table contains fieldsuch as JobTitle, JobDescription, Salary etcI want to add to this table other attributes which are specific to acertain Job Industries.Solution - Add a join table for each type of industry containingattributes (db is now not generic) OR add a new table with a IndustryType field and a XML field containing the industry specificattributes.If I go the XML way will this just make it complex and slow to query?If not, what is the best way to query an XML field?Thanks,Jack

i'm making a web page for a clinic.it needs to be able to search for patients by first name, surname, date of birth and patient number.i'm using visual web developer and i have my database, my data source and GridView grid.i want 4 text boxes for my first name, surname etc. when u click enter on any of them i want to retrieve all their data and display it in the gridview.at the moment i have one text box on the web page and through the "Configure data source" option on the grid view i can retrieve the specified data but for only this one item, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE ([DOB] = @DOB). if i add another text box to my web page, and don't do anything to it, the query wont run. if i add and "AND" statement to the query, e.g. SELECT * FROM [Patients] WHERE (([DOB] = @DOB) AND ([FirstName] = @FirstName)), again it won'r run or return and data. any ideas on what i can do or where i'm going wrong. thanks

I have a table
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Speech] ( [SpeechId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PkSpeech_SpeechId PRIMARY KEY, [UniqueName] [varchar](52) NOT NULL, [NativeName] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Place] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Type] [smallint] NOT NULL, [LanguageId] [char](2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_LanguageId FOREIGN KEY (LanguageId) REFERENCES Language(LanguageId) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE, [SpeakerId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_SpeakerId FOREIGN KEY (SpeakerId) REFERENCES Speaker(SpeakerId) ON DELETE CASCADE, [IsFavorite] [bit] NOT NULL, [IsVisible] [bit] NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NULL )
Now I want to search the Table Speech
Sometimes by : SpeechIdSometimes by : SpeakerIdSometimes by : LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeechId And LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeakerId And LanguageId
All can have conditions with IsVisible, IsFavorite and Type columns.
for example
I need all Speeches withany particular SpeakerId and LanguageIdwith IsVisible equals to trueand IsFvaorite No Matterand Type equals to Audio
For these type of queries I think the solution is
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sprocGetSpeech]
@speechId int = NULL, @uniqueName varchar(52) = NULL, @nativeName nvarchar(52) = NULL, @place nvarchar(52) = NULL, @type smallint = NULL, @languageId char(2) = NULL, @speakerId int = NULL, @isFavorite bit = NULL, @isVisible bit = NULL
AS
SELECT SpeechId, UniqueName, NativeName, Place, Type, LanguageId, SpeakerId, IsFavorite, IsVisible, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate FROM Speech WHERE SpeechId = @speechId AND UniqueName = CASE WHEN @uniqueName IS NULL THEN [UniqueName] ELSE @uniqueName END AND NativeName = CASE WHEN @nativeName IS NULL THEN [NativeName] ELSE @NativeName END AND Place = CASE WHEN @place IS NULL THEN [Place] ELSE @place END AND Type = CASE WHEN @type IS NULL THEN [Type] ELSE @type END AND LanguageId = CASE WHEN @languageId IS NULL THEN [LanguageId] ELSE @languageId END AND SpeakerId = CASE WHEN @speakerId IS NULL THEN [SpeakerId] ELSE @speakerId END AND IsFavorite = CASE WHEN @isFavorite IS NULL THEN [IsFavorite] ELSE @isFavorite END AND IsVisible = CASE WHEN @isVisible IS NULL THEN [IsVisible] ELSE @isVisible END
Can anyone tell me?
Is it right way to do?Do you have any better solution?If my solution is better then Is there any performance loss with that query?

Hi All,
Just wanted to run this idea past u all before I have a go at it.
I have two tables A & B that are similar to the below
Table A
Name1 Name2 Name3
Tom Bill John
Gary Harry Eric
TableB
Name1 Name2 Name3
John Bill Tom
Tom Eric john
Leslie Philip Colin
What I wanted to do is see if the the records from tableA row 1 exist in tableB
As you can see they can appear in any order, partially or not at all.
What I propose to do is take tableA Name1 and see if it matches tableb row1 name 1 OR name 2 OR name 3 and if I find a match use a variable to assign the the value 1 (so I can then see if the match is full (score three) partial socre 1 and two or not at all (0)
Then I will need do the same for tableA row 2
Then goto row 2 of table a and start again.
Does this make sense? Are there beter ways of doing this.
I am using SQL server to do the searching....?
All comments appreciated and welcome.

Hi again!
I have a products table with product attributes in a second table,
together they describe a full product. I have a product title, a
list of providers, description text, and keywords. I would like
to do a search across these fields, and so far my research has shown
that the Full Text Search component of SQL Server is the way to
go. However, I am not sure this will be possible based on what is
installed on the hosted server, so I am wondering if there is a unique,
cool way of doing this without Full Text Search?
Thanks,
jr.

I'm trying to find out what modifies a certain table (yay for more debugging without documentation). Using some TSQL provided by a friend, I've searched through the stored procedures, and I've searched through the various pages in the web app, but the only references to the table are updates and selects (not inserts).
The table itself is intended as an archive for another table.
Unfortunatly, the documention for this web app is worthless, and the code has little to no comments to boot.
Is there any way to search through DTS packages aside from opening them each individually and looking at the parts?

Any hints on how to start this? It seems that I could use SOUNDEX or DIFFERENCE, but I don't know where to start.

How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.
For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.
SELECT Name, Description
FROM tblWine
WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
Any ideas?

This subject probably isn't correct, but I'm not sure how else to describe what I want to do.
I have two tables.
Table 1:
Act_Num.....Code
1...........33
2...........23
3...........22
4...........26
5...........20
Table 2:
Part_ID.....Act_Listings
1927..........33 14
5819..........23 26
What I need to do is identify records from Table 2 that do not have an Activity in the Act_Listing field contained in Table 1. So for Part_ID=1927, code 33 exists in Table 1, but code 14 doesn't, so that record should be selected.

I need to search for a name of a company in the DB but the company name can be written in many formats such as ABC Inc. ABC international, Abc Ltd etc.
I basically want a return on everything that starts with Abc.
I have my WHERE clause so it reads customers.name LIKE '%ABC%' but that is not returning all of the records that I would expect it to.

Hi,
This is the first database I have ever created, so please bear with me.
I've created a simple database with 1 column and about 80,000 rows. In each row is a word (basically a dictionary without definitions).
I have written a query which works, and is, as follows (you'll notice that i'm not the most original of people)
SELECT
word
FROM dbo.words
WHERE word= 'hello'
This finds the word hello.
In excel I have a row with 25 letters and then a column with every single combination of letters from 3 to 10 lettered words. (It makes sense to me!)
This comes back with a lot of possibilities (thousands), but is great in the sense that when I change any of the 25 letters the entire column automatically updates.
What I am trying to do is then take all of these possibilities and compare them against the dictionary.
I have written a line in excel which automatically creates a cell a bit like this, for the first couple of thousand possibilities:
WHERE word= 'abc' or word= 'fgm' or word= 'klm' or word= 'pqr' or word= 'uvw' or word= 'bcd' or word= 'ghi' or word= 'lmn' or word= 'qrs' or word= 'vwx'
I then whack this into the query from above and off it goes. The only problem is that the search takes ages, and because of limitations in excel I can't put more than a thousand or so words in the cell.
I am certain there is a faster way of searching through all the possibilities, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Im trying to do a database query based on user input from a text field. I pulled apart the string that was
entered into the search form and stored it in textArray. The problem I
am having is when I include commmon words such as the, near, view and so
on into the search field I end up with zero results. when I only search
for less common words such as rocky and argentina for example the search
works fine. at first I thought that maybe it was generating too many
results and was screwing up but when i search for rocky it works and
when i search for near rocky it doesnt.
I realize the code might not be the most efficient but here it is...
@searches_pages, @searches = paginate(:searches, :per_page => 10,
:conditions => getSearch(textArray,params[:country]))
def getSearch(textArray,selectedCountry )
result = []
string = ""
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
string << "country = (?) and "
end
textArray.each do |x|
if textArray[textArray.length - 1] == x
string << "match(country,caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) "
else
string << "match(country, caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) and "
end
end
result << string
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
result << selectedCountry
end
textArray.each do |x|
result << x
end
result
end
Im not sure if i supplied enough information but I am trying to finish
this project soon so any type of responses would help. Also, if there
is an easier way to do an sql search based off of what is entered into
the search field please let me know. The reason I did this is because I
wasn't sure how many words the user would be entering into the field.
And without knowing this I could not hard code the conditions => so I
wrote a helper method.
