Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
Can anyone just point me in the right direction. All I want to do is add some T-SQL to an existing stored procedure to return the number of rows selected into a return value.Does anyone know how to do this?
Hello all, I have been working with a DetailsView control for the past week and it is a great control, but also lacks on some departments. Anyhow I need to know what the best approach for this scenerio would be? I have a SqlDataSource" <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlUpsertAffiliateDetails" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:connectionstring %>" SelectCommand="SELECT am.affiliate_id AS AffiliateId, am.member_id AS MemberId, m.First_Name, m.Last_Name, am.category_id AS CategoryId, ac.category_name, am.profile_web_address AS WebAddress, am.profile_email_1 AS Email, am.comments AS Comments, am.date_modified FROM tAffiliateMaster AS am WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN tAffiliateCategories AS ac WITH (NOLOCK) ON am.category_id = ac.category_id INNER JOIN rapdata..Member AS m WITH (NOLOCK) ON am.member_id = m.Member_Number WHERE (am.affiliate_id = @AffiliateId)" UpdateCommand="spUpsertAffiliateProfile" UpdateCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="AffiliateId" QueryStringField="affiliate_id" /> </SelectParameters> <UpdateParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="Action" Type="Byte" DefaultValue="2" /> </UpdateParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> And my SP:/* 09-19-07 Used to update affiliate profile */

as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.
I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.
But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.
And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...
unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?
So, really the key is the PROJID & the ACTIVITY_NAME (really, there's a unique column ID, but for this question, I'll leave it at that).
(Though this should be much easier to accomplish in code, the system is not built that way so) Is there a good way that I could return a status for a given PROJID based on whether a row exists for a given PROJID). In other words, ultimately, I would like to return something like this:
where the activity order (in this case) is Prepro, QA, Delivery. So because a Delivery row exists for PROJID 2, then the LAST_ACTIVITY would return "Delivery" and because only Prepro exists for PROJID 1, the LAST_ACTIVITY returned would be Prepro
If I try to run the code below, and even one of the values in the INNER JOIN statements is NULL, the DataReader ends up with zero rows. What I need is to see the results even if one or more of INNER JOIN statements has a NULL value. For example, if I want info on asset# 2104, and there's no value in the DriverID field, I need the rest of the data to display and just have the lblDriverName by blank. Is that possible?

I have a stored procedure on a SQL Server 2008 database. The stored procedure is very simple, just a SELECT statement. When I run it, it returns 422 rows. However, when I run the SELECT statement from the stored procedure, it returns 467 rows. I've tried this by running both the stored procedure and the SELECT statement in the same SSMS window at the same time, and the behavior is the same. The stored procedure is:
USE [REMS] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [mobile].[GetAllMobileDeviceUsers] Script Date: 12/04/2014 */ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
When I do this in the same SSMS window:
exec mobile.GetAllMobileDeviceUsers
SELECT ee.EmployeeID, EmployeeName = LastName + ', ' + FirstName FROM EmployeeInvData ee --UNION
[Code] ....
I get two result sets. The first is 422 rows; the second is 467 rows. Why?
I am trying to insert a carriage return in the select statement after the web link where I had highlighted code in bold. When I insert a record into the table, I receive the email with the message body is in single line.I need the result to look like this in the message body:

If I run the following select statment against the appropriate table it returns the duplilcate records in the result set. However, from this list I want to add an additional select statement embedded into the query that will actually return only those records with the most current syscreated date.
Example of script I'm using---
select cmp_fadd1, syscreated, cmp_name, cmp_code from cicmpy where cmp_fadd1 in (select cmp_fadd1 from cicmpy group by cmp_fadd1 having count(1) = 2) order by cmp_fadd1,syscreated desc
The results is:
Address Syscreated date Customer 1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2005-06-15 22:19:45.000 RELIABLE PARTSLTD 1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2004-01-22 18:10:05.000 RELIABLE PARTS LTD PEI CENTER 2006-01-05 22:03:50.000 P.G. ENERGY PEI CENTER 2004-01-22 17:57:56.000 P.G. ENERGY
From this I want to be able to select ONLY those records with the most current syscreated date or those records with 2005-06-15 and 2006-01-05
Hello All,Is there a way to run sql select statements with column numbers inplace of column names in SQLServer.Current SQL ==> select AddressId,Name,City from AddressIs this possible ==> select 1,2,5 from AddressThanks in Advance,-Sandeep
Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs. I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID. I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages. When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID). Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?
Hi, i have a doubt, can a column have the value of a select? I mean, i'm making a photo gallery and on the categories table i need to know how many photos i have, so i need to count in the table photos the ones associated with the id of the category, the problem is that i'm listing categories with a datalist, is there a way so that a column on the categories table have the result of the count? Thanks in advance, if you don't understood my question feel free to ask me again and i'll try to explain it better, i really need this.
I am trying to create a new column 'COL_4' and, in the same step, create a case statement off of the new col. I know that the code below will not execute. I realize that I could get ride of COL_4 in my code below and concatonate but I need to keep Col_4 in the output.
SELECT COL_1 ,COL_2 ,COL_3 ,COL_4 = COL_1 + COL_2 ,COL_5 = CASE WHEN COL_1 THEN 'SOMETHING' END FROM TABLE_1 ;

In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say Select OrderId from Order. But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!

I want to add a custom column in a select statement that has a value to true or false based on other criteria.
SELECT [ID], [Name], [Description], [EmpID], [Employed] FROM [Employees]
Now, in the above example there is no [Employed] Column in my table but I want it to show true or false based on whether or not [EmpID] equals a certain value.
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple "delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.
Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.
I have a temp table that hosts data from a MDX query, I want to select a column from that table by passing in a parameter and then insert to a new table.
Here's the table structure, let's call it #temp
[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION], [Measures].[Gross Sales] Bike, 200 Accessory , 100
I have a table in the DB created as [ProductSales]
Here's what works for me:
insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales) Select convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION]") as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales' From #temp
But in reality the product level is not always on level 03, I want to define a parameter @Product and pass it to the select list.
Here's what I tried to do:
Declare @Product varchar(500) = convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 01].[Member_CAPTION]") Declare @SQL varchar(MAX) SET @SQL='insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales) Select '+@Product+' as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales' From #temp' Exec @SQL
But it threw me error, what is the right way to do it, is it because the double quote or single quote thing?
