Background: SQL Server 2000 transactional database
Key fact 1: I have one main fact table and several dimension tables. for each join between a dimension table and the fact table, I have a combined key that includes at least three fields one of which would be a date field.
Key fact 2: Sometimes fields in the dimension tables changes names over time e.g. a department that was called dept_1 a few years ago might have changed its name since and is now called dept_A today. The historic report should still use today's name of the department.
For example using three tables (keys are colour coded)
DEPT table and JOB table and Employee table
DEPT_table JOB_table EMPLOYEE_table
DEPTID DEPTID EMPLID
SETID DEPT_SETID EMPL_RCD
EFFDT EFFDT
DESCR_LONG EFFSEQ
DESCR_SHORT EMPLID
EMPL_RCD
Since departments change names over time, I intend to return just the most current department name for use in my reports but one way or another SOME records return more than one. I am using max(effdt) to extract the most recent from two tables like the ones above.
Code Snippet
DEPT_TBL.DEPTID=BO_JOB_VW.DEPTID and DEPT_TBL.SETID=BO_JOB_VW.SETID_DEPT and
DEPT_TBL.EFFDT=(select max(j.EFFDT) from DEPT_TBL j where
j.EFFDT<=BO_JOB_VW.EFFDT and
j.DEPTID=BO_JOB_VW.DEPTID and
j.SETID=BO_JOB_VW.SETID_DEPT)
and
Code Snippet
BO_JOB_VW.EMPLID = EMPLOYEE.EMPLID
BO_JOB_VW.EMPL_RCD = EMPLOYEE.EMPL_RCD
Although it is possible for an employee to belong to more than one department simultaneously, what I have notice is that for some employees that get multiple rows of departments, they have never belonged to more than one department or ever changed departments at all.
e.g
Code Snippet
DEPT
/*
DEPTID SETID EFFDT DESCR
DP1 GBR 01/01/1901
DP1a GBR 01/01/1965
DP2 GBR 01/01/1996
DP2a GBR 01/01/1998
DP2b GBR 01/01/2006
*/
DP1 and DP1a refers to the same department but reflect a change of names
DP2, DP2a and DP2b refer to one department but also reflect changes in the name
JOB
/*
DEPTID SETID EFFDT EMPLID EMPL_RCD EFFSEQ STD_HRS
DP1 GBR 01/01/1901 001 0 0 37.0
DP1a GBR 01/01/1999 002 0 0 37.5
DP2 GBR 01/01/1996 003 0 0 18.75
DP2a GBR 01/01/1998 003 0 1 22.2
DP2b GBR 01/01/2006 002 0 3 37.0
*/
EMPLOYEE
/*
EMPLID EMPL_RCD
001 0
002 0
003 0
003 0
002 0
*/
THe report should therefore look something like
EMPLID DEPTID STD_HRS EFFDT
001 DP1 37.0 01/01/1901
002 DP2b 37.5 01/01/1999
002 DP2b 37.0 01/01/2006
002 DP2a 18.75 01/01/1996
002 DP2a 22.2 01/01/1998
If you need any further details please let me know
code suggestions would be welcome and greatly appreciated

Hi folks,
SELECT * FROM mytable
100 rows returned.
Can i get a rownum column for each record; i.e. if 100 records returned; rownum order 1,2,3.....100 along with the each record position.
is it possible without using cursor?
Howdy!
Hi,
Rownum returns the serial number for the records in Oracle.
Id there an equivalent for the same in SQL Server ?
select rownum from test_table;
Please advise,
Thanks
Sam
I want to get 100 rows from particular record and onward. in oracle i can use rownum and in mySql i have function limit ... i want to know what is the ms-sql alternate for it.
I want to get 100 rows onward to one particular data ... how can i ?
hai, for one of my batch requirement i would like to retrieve records set by set, meaning if there are 1000 records which satisfies the condtion, i want to take first 100 record process it, and then again go to database retireve another 100 record and so on...
how can i do this...do i need use the for loop logic or, is there any simple way to achieve this? help pls
Hi. Is there a rownum, rowid, or autonumber in t-sql for SQL Server 2005?
Thanks!
Hi All....
I have to write one query where i have to display the ID as 1,2 3, 4 in oracle we used to ROWNUM to display ....in MS SQL server is there any property to show???
i have to display like

hello,
Do we have Rowid or Rownum in SQL Server, or any alternative.
Thanks,

Hello,
How can this query be written in SQLSERVER 7 as it is written in Oracle.
SELECT rownum, column1 from XYZ;
This table returns two columns, first being the auto-generated sequence and second has the values in column1 of XYZ table.
I need to do similar in SQLserver 7 and I am new to it.
Please treat it as urgent..
Thanx
I apologize in advance, but this post might get somewhat lengthy.
I'm new to the whole pagiong and sorting in SQL Server 2005, and I'm trying to get my SQL to perform in a certain way but can't seem to nail it just down. Hopefully someone can provide some insight or direction. Here's the scoop:
The gui sorts on any column chosen. For example, there's USER, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP. The gui allows you to choose how many rows you wish to display per page. If there are 500 rows that meet the search criteria and you choose five pages, there should be 100 records per page. Here's the code:

What I would like to do is when I choose to sort on the column (ASC or DESC),
1.) The entire record set is esssentially retrieved again,
2.) The record set is resorted in the proper order
3.) The record set is redisplayed.
For example, if I'm on Page 2, and I choose to sort in DESCending order, Page 1 would then have records 2014 through 1615, Page 2 would display 1614 through 1215, and page 3 would have 1214 through 1001. Since I was already on Page 2, I would be seeing Page 2 with the new sort. Now when I resort , it just sorts the records on the individual pages, not the entire result set.
Hopefully this all made sense...!

Hi
I have as issue with this rownum.This is supported in different forms in different databases like top in mssql ,limit in mysql and all..i want to genaralise this independent of the type of database because i want to run the query as i wont be knowing the type of the DB used by my user.
can anyone suggest a solution for this ? is there anyway of generating a series of numbers with the query by calling the function in that query repetitively ???

Is there an equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM in SQL Server. ROWNUM, when added to a select statement as a column - the query would return an automatic counter, numbering each row returned.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all
I am new to sqlserve
Is there any equivelant to rownum of oracle.
if not then please can some body gudie me how to give unique
number to each row
like
1 xxx
2 yyy
3 zzz
4 aaa
Thanks pratik
Hi,
Can any one tell me is there anything in SQL Server thats equivalent
to Oracle's ROWNUM.
Note that the Identity Property or TOP n will not solve my problem.
I want to asign a sequence no. to each row when its being fetched.
For example if in the emp table there are 2000 rows and I write
the following query in Oracle ,
SELECT rownum , empno, empname FROM emp Where rownum < =3
I get the result like this
Rownum----Empno--------------Empname
------------------------------------------
1-----------2345---------------ABCD
2-----------3334---------------EFGH
3-----------4484---------------IJKL
I know I can limit the output rows in SQL Server by using TOP n. But
I also want to generate a sequence no. The identity property of SQL Server
will not be usefull here because my actaul WHERE clause will be more
complex like WHERE resigndate = '01-jan-2004'
Thanks

How can I reset the number of Row_Number() if I exceed the number of rows specified.
Example:
Code:
Col1 RowNum
----------------------
ID1 1
ID1 2
ID1 3
ID1 4
ID1 5
ID1 1
ID1 2
ID1 3
ID1 4
In this example, the Row_Number will reset for every 5 items.
Hello,I would like to know if the equivalent Oracle rownum exist inSQLServer.

In Oracle Ican simply add rownum=1 or rownum=2 in the where clause to obtain thedesired answer. I don't know how to do in SQLServer.Thank in advance,Pierig.

Is Rand function cannot be used in the User Defined function?
Thanks.
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
Hi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!
Hi,I have written a stored proc with some temporary tables and also useda getdate() in my stored proc. When i try to call the sproc the erroris that we can only use extended sprocs or function inside a sproc.Now if try to write the stored proc directly inside a fuction ie copypaste after changing my temp tables to tables the problem is , i get aerror invalid use of getdate in sproc.What do i do to get somethingfor my results inside a table.Thanks in advance.RVG
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table:tblRateUserUserIDJudge intUserIDJudged intscore int
this table contains the userid of the person giving a score (judge) and the person receiving the score (judged) and the score itself.
Each user can only score another user once.
tblRateUser content:judged judge score6 5 87 5 107 6 515 7 415 5 9
When a new score is inserted I want to get the average score for the rated user by counting all scores for that user and divide by the number of records.
declare @avgscore decimal(4,1) set @avgscore=(select avg(score) from tblRateUser WHERE UserCodeJudged=@ID) print 'avg score: '+ cast(@avgscore as nvarchar(15)) in the above example this results for usercode judged 7 in an average score of 7.0 whereas I would expect 7.5 (10+5)/2
what am I doing wrong?
