How can I know whether a query or a stored procedure is successfully executed? I mean like in delete case?
here is an example
sql_delete = "DELETE FROM UserData where U_ID='" & tempID & "'"
rstIDChk.Open sql_delete, cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
How can I make sure that the record is deleted so that I can proceed with other jobs? How can I catch it in the program like from VB? Is there any return like true or false in SQL? :(
I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups. What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
Hi, I got a problem. I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version. And I created a Compact database. I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form. then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me. After that, I used program to insert record into this table. Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records. I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right? Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?

This has got to be a simple one, but I could not find out how I have this simple proc for test purposes only...
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.RotoTest( @strSSN VARCHAR(11), @blnUseACHDate BIT = 0, @intInvestorId int = 0)ASreturn 5
Thats right it does nothing but return 5 and thats because I removed all the real code to simplify my question. When I hit this proc in SQL Query Analyzer.. exec RotoTest '123-45-6789', 0, 1 No return value is displayed in Query Analyzer. When I try something like this exec RotoTest '123-45-6789', 0, 1, intRetValue Output (in this situation I get wrong number of arguments) How can I get a return value displayed on my screen in SQL QUERY ANALYZER with out modifying the proc? I do not want to modify the proc in anyway (because I can't), I just want to display the return value
Hi I have written a query for viewing the results of an on-line survey. I have three tables involved in this query: answers, answerpossibilities and users. So I use a few joins and made this query: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --')) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc The above query works fine. The data returned by this query is shown in a gridview. When an answerpossibilty was never chosen it shows 0 as times chosen. So that's fine. But the problem is, only answers of users who completed the survey should be shown. In the users table there's a field user_completed. So the query should check whether this field is 1 (true). ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --') and users.user_completed = 1) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc Using this query only answers of users who completed the survey are shown but answer possibilities that were never chosen are no longer shown with 0 as times chosen. The gridview simply doesn't show them anymore. Thanks for helping me!
Something went wrong by posting this message I guess, all blank lines were gone.. maybe because I used Safari on my iMac
Does sql server have a mechanism (aside from count()) that for any given SELECT query will tell you only how many rows it will return without actually returning the data?
The reason for this is that we have a generic lookup form in an application that is used on almost every screen (we have a lot of screens, so it gets a lot of different, sometimes complicted, queries passed to it to use for the lookup, and having to manually edit the query to use count over all the select clauses doesn't seem like the best way to handle this. If we could do a kind of 'trial run' against the server just to get the number of rows and use that to help set up the form, that would be ideal.
i want a query which returns all the date between 2 dates . its like an calender.....for example i selected 2-1-2006(dd-mm-yyyy) to 18-03-2006 ....it should returns like this 2-1-2006 3-1-2006 4-1-2006 . . . 16-03-2006 17-03-2006 18-03-2006
Hello,I'm trying to something that just works in Oracle, but does not in SqlServer.How can I get the percentage of two counts to be returned on each rowof the query?select count(sid), /* all not the not null */count(*),(count(sid) /count(*) ) as percent_not_null,4 as four,(3/4) as three_over_fourfrom dbo.sysusers7082040Incredibly, it changes even 3/4 into a zero!For efficiency, I want the percentage returned in the query.And to not use variables and coding. Efficiency,both of the server, and of my time.Note: I am using dbo.sysusers as an EXAMPLE only. My realquery will be on user defined application tables.What is the solution please?

This is my problem, i have 2 tables: one table that hold data, having id as identity, say table (id, content), the other table have 2 columns: (id, number). The second table number column refer to the id in the first table. i want to build a query that get the data from the first table that correspond to a specific id in the second table, not only this i want to get the previous, the current and the next item.
For example: if table_data, table_info is first and second tables, something that can do it is :
DECLARE @i int
SELECT * FROM table_data WHERE id in (@i -1, @i +1, @i)
The problem here if @i, @i+1 or @i-1 doesn't exist the column will not be returned, i want to get a result similar to
id, content
25 null 26 null 27 #some content#
or
34 #content1# 35 #content2# 36 #content3#
so my problem is that nulls doesn't appear, i thought about using OUTER JOIN, but the problem is that outer join take tables, not (@i -1, @i +1, @i), so if only i can make somehow the outer join use these values, i think it works.
I have encountered some problems creating MDX query. There are two input parameters on report, both dropdown list and from query. The first parameter will check "State", and the second parameter "Store Name" depends on previous' result. If there's no "State" found, I manage to show a "No Data" in the "State" droplist. But with "No Data" in first parameter, the second parameter simply is not enabled. I want the second parameter shows " No Data" as well but not succeed.
Here's code
...
SELECT {[Measures].[A1], [Measures].[B1], [Measures].[C1]} ON COLUMNS ,
[Store].[Store Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@State) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube]) ... The query need to look at dataset that contains [store name] on rows, and some measures on columns. It also restricted by parameter @State.
Store Name that satisfies @State will be displayed. But if nothing from SELECT ( STRTOSET(@State) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube], there's nothing in result. I'd rather like show something rather than nothing. I try codes like ... MEMBER [Store].[Store].[NA] AS '"N/A"' IIF(<Parameter empty>, (SELECT ... ON COLUMNS, [Store].[Store].[NA] ON ROWS FROM ...), (SELECT ...<Original statement >) ) ... It shows "Subselect support only Column axis".
Any one has an idea? Please help me out Many thanks!

Hi i am trying to use this query to pull all the publications stored in the database and all the authors contributing to that publication (1 to many relationship). I am trying to use a sub query so that i can display the results on one row of a gridview (including a consecutive list of all the authors). However i am recieving this error: Incorrect keyword near the word SET. ?
Maybe i need to add a temp column in the sub query to pull all the related authors for a single publication - but i dont know the sql for this? can anyone help?
Thanks SELECT ISNULL(Publication.month, '')+ ' ' + ISNULL(convert(nvarchar, Publication.year), '') as SingleColumn, Publication.publicationID, Publication.title FROM Publication WHERE Publication.publicationID IN (SELECT (convert(nvarchar, Authors.authorName)) FROM Authors INNER JOIN PublicationAuthors ON Authors.authorID = PublicationAuthors.authorID) AND Publication.typeID IN (SELECT PublicationType.typeName FROM PublicationType INNER JOIN PublicationType ON Publication.typeID = PublicationType.typeID

i have a column of dates. i make an index or key for this column so that i can perform binary search i hope. If the search is not succesful how do i get the query to return the two dates surrounding the date i was searching for.
When querying any of our database tables (returning all rows from within the enterprise manager) we are getting the following error message: "The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not registered" Can anyone help me with this....
I hope someone can help, I usually just need to do simple queries, and am fine with that, but this is a bit over my head without a few pointers in the right direction.
I have a table that stores log results from pieces of hardware that contact an internet server periodically.
For simplification, this contains:
LogID SystemID DeviceID ContactDateTime Notes
Each device contacts the server about once every 5 minutes, and there are about 100 devices in 6 systems.
What I need to do is find out, for a certain date time range, things like:
1. the average time between comunication for any one device 2. the longest time between communication for any one device 3. average time between communications for all devices in a system.
We currently do this by downloading all the logs and working through them programmatically on the server, but as you can imagine, it is a very large amount of information, and it would be much more efficient if this could be done on the SQL server.
Hi. I have a query that returns several averages and percentages. Is there some way to set up the query so the results only go to 2 decimal places? Here is a sample of the query I am using: Code:
$query = "SELECT COUNT(deal_id), SUM(vs), SUM(vs)/COUNT(deal_id)*100, AVG(fin) FROM sales GROUP BY salesperson";
It works great,except the results are several decimal places long, and I need it to be only 2.
I am trying to create a query to return the latest record from a dataset. The code created so far returns multiple records, where I need a single record to be returned.
I am looking to write a query that returns all records Inserted in the last hour.
The problem, as I see it, is that the column I need to refer to is a VARCHAR() datatype. Can I convert from varchar (example 14:04:31)to a time value and calculate from this ?
I would like to subtract 1 hour from current_timestamp or similar, so that the query dynamically changed.

The addresses are linked by and ID. ex,addresses per ID 1ID address1 add21 add31 add4distinct Addresses in tableID address1 add21 add31 add4What I am trying to figure out is if this is possible. Is it possibleto figure out some how with a query that in the above example ID 1is missing add1. I am trying to populate a dropdown list in my codewith just the addresses that are left from the distinct list. I trieddoing an intersect something like this but that did not seem to work.SELECT typeFROM address_demoINTERSECTSELECT typeFROM address_demo AS address_demo_1WHERE progid = '12954892'I am wondering if I am moving in the right direction or if this is evenpossible......Thanks
I've created a stored procedure which inserts values into a table and upon successful execution the RC column gets returned along with the Identity value (I'm using SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()), but I don't want to RC column, I only want to get the Id number of the current row. I'm doing this using the Query Analyzer.
Is there a way to suppress the RC column? I have run the same query on different servers and the RC col doesn't show up. I only want the ID value to put into an ASP.NET page.
While testing different query methods from ASP.NET (Output parameter, Return_Value, etc) did I set a flag within SQL Server?
