I am new to TSQL and any help on the following would be appreciated.
I have a table that looks like this
security Message
2345 Good
2346 Good
uoas Bad
fsaf More
sdad More
asdd More
ndgs More
I have to pull in a list of distinct messages with a count and any 3 cusips that belong to the message.
I have written, something like this
SELECT MESSAGE_TEXT, COUNT(*) AS Expr1, MIN(security) AS Expr2, MAX(SECURITY) AS Expr3
FROM dbo.DerivedSIACDataMessages
GROUP BY MESSAGE_TEXT
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
However, this lets me pull only 2 securities per message and I want to pull in 4 cusips.
I have a customer that wants to be able to generate a random list... ----------------------- The list is case numbers, and I can get those easy enough by saying
SELECT dbo.table_case.id_number FROM dbo.table_case
Now, what I want to do is take that list and extract 1 out of every 1000, picking out random id_numbers to display.
Hi,I like to have a SQL script which could update a table to set one attributeto a random value picked from a given list. The prototyping code is asbelow:select @value_list = ('John', 'David', 'Mathew', 'Paul')....update EMP set emp_name = @random_namewhere ...where random name is randomly got from the given list. Of course there willbe a cursor so that different row may have different random name but notnecessary unique. Also the attribute and the list could be any valid commonSQL data typesThanks!Ximing
Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke
I'm using ASP and SQL Serv 2000. What I need to get from 2 tables (company & customers) is random 10 customers from random 20 comp. Anyone got an idea how to do this??? I've spent 2 days trying to get stored proc. or T-SQL to work, but nothing good came out of it. I can get 1 comp and 10 cust, but not a grouped list of 20 comp. w/ 10 cust. each.
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following: Code: If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF (SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB) Return False ELSE Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
I have a select list of fields that I need to select to get the results I need, however, I would like to insert only a chosen few of these fields into a table. I am getting the error, "The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns." How can I do this?

I have a a table that holds a list of words, I am trying to add to the list, however I only want to add new words. But I wish to return from my proc the list of words with ID, whether it is new or old.
Here's a script. the creates the table,indexes, function and the storeproc. call the proc like procStoreAndUpdateTokenList 'word1,word2,word3'
My table is now 500000 rows and growing and I am inserting on average 300 words, some new some old.
performance is a not that great so I'm thinking that my code can be improved.

Hi, I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.
From the parent package-> Execute Process Task-> dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"
Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)
I "sometimes" get the following error:
OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.
Help would be appreciated!
I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.
Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)
The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")
A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.
I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.
The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crispin

Hi there.I need to fetch ONE random row from many. How can i get it? I try toexecute "SELECT field.table FROM table ORDER by RAND()" no effect.Thank you.
Hy, I nead to make a stored procedure in order to add a random record set. This record set is used to write in an ASP page a list which is automatically modified everytime we reload the page.
I'm trying to use the following query to select two random records from my database. Do you have any ideas of why the recrand field will not change? I am using MS Sql server 7.. Please email mark@dtdesign.com ..Cheers Mark
SELECT TOP 2 mytable.id AS RECID, RAND(mytable.id) AS recrand FROM mytable ORDER BY recrand
Has anyone noticed that if you created DTS package and try to change connection properties (i.e. change DSN or redirect DTS to different server or Database), as soon you click OK it does not save new password and hence does not work anymore. In my case to move Database from Development to Production server I would have to recreate all DTS packages. Is there any way around it?
I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.
Is there a way to write an SQL statement to choose random values from a particular select statement..for example: select * from address I was thinking, if there was a way to use an include statement for it like: select * from address where id IN ('generates some random values')
So i've got to generate these queries that go from the first of a one month to the last day of a month. the user provides the starting and ending months.
What I was wondering was is there an easy way to set the last day of the month in sql without having to go in and hard code which months end on the 30 and which ones end on the 31.
I once came across a database in which when ever a row was inserted, a unique random code was also inserted in a column. This code generated was similar to format like {8A5FE5F1-6BDA-476C-A4DB584A7710FBF91121054625}. I was told that SQL2000 has some inbuilt functionality for this.
Any idea on how to do this using SQL2000 or coding. I feel this is much better than Identity Column as using autonumbers in quesrystring is too much risky as they easily readable.
I have a table with 3 fields SiteID (PK), SiteCode, SiteName. For each SiteCode I have several rows with different SiteName. For example: 1 327 a 2 327 b 3 327 c 4 328 aa 5 328 bb......
I need to retrieve each time SiteCode with random SiteName. For example: 327 b , 327 a , 327 c 328 aa 328 bb 328 aa.
I need it very urgent, so any ideas will be very helpful. Thanks to all,
Hi Experts , I want to insert datas randomly to all columns of a table.The columns have different datatypes like int,varchar,datetime. What to do??? It is urgent so please help.

I used this to generate a random password. You can change what it returns to up to an 8000 character password if you feel brave. You will need this function (http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14924) to generate the random numbers. For some reason, occassionaly a NULL (CHAR(0)) character would get in there and mess things up so I had to remove those. You could change this to even include the non alpha numeric characters.
create procedure random_password @length smallint, @password nvarchar(256) = null output as set nocount on
declare @number int declare @lower int declare @upper int declare @part tinyint
if @length > 256 set @length = 256 set @password = ''
while len(@password) < @length begin exec random_number 0, 3, @part output
set @part = null set @number = null exec random_number @lower, @upper, @number output set @password = @password + ltrim(char(@number)) if substring(@password, len(@password), 1) = char(0) set @password = left(@password, len(@password) - 1) end go
I need to update an integer column in my table with a random number. Here's what I've done so far (with the table name and column names changed):
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET Column1 = RAND() * 1000000
My question is, how come the values in my column all have the same value? I thought the RAND function gives out a random number? How can I update my table to generate random numbers?
