I have a table with 2 columns ItemID and ReturnDesc. A sample of the data is:
ItemId ReturnDesc
1244 Did not want
1244 Wrong color
3426 Return came with ticket 426
3571 Ticket 584 was not included
The only information I want to have returned is the number following the text 'ticket'. How do I do this?
Hi, Could you tell me if this is possible? How do I return results using an entire column as part of the search parameter? I need to do this in the sql rather than selecting the contents and iterating through it as it would take too long.
eg.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tPopupKeywords](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL,
[title] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[description] [nvarchar](2000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO dbo.tPopupKeywords(title, description)
SELECT 'check', 'desc' UNION ALL
SELECT 'for', 'desc' UNION ALL
SELECT 'keywords', 'desc'
select dbo.tpopupkeywords.title
where 'This is an example of a passed in string to check if any keywords are returned.'
LIKE '% ' + dbo.tpopupkeywords.title + ' %' --Does this bit need to do a select??
expected results.....:
check
keywords
how can you return part of a string and convert it into an integer value? Maybe like this:
convert(left(column, 3) as int)
does that work?

hey all,
I have the following query:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @article_id INT
SELECT @article_id = (
SELECT TOP 1 article_id
FROM article
ORDER BY article_id DESC
)
DECLARE @comment_count INT
SELECT @comment_count = (
SELECT COUNT(comment_id)
FROM comment
JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id
GROUP BY article_id
HAVING article_id = @article_id
)
SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id,
article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id
article_author_ip, author_display_name,
category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count
FROM article
JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id
JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id
GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id,
author_display_name, category_id, category_name
HAVING article_id = @article_id
END
GO
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?
Cheers
I am working on a query that is quite complex. I need the query to return as part of the fields a field that will contain the total percentage of tickets in a version.The query is below
select cat.name as name,count(distinct bug.id) as numberOfBugs,cast(count(bug.id) * 1000.0 / sum(count(bug.id) * 10.0) over() as decimal(10,2))/100 AS qnt_pct, vers.version, dateadd(s,vers.date_order,'1/1/1970') as "Release_Date"
from mantis_bug_table bug
INNER JOIN mantis_category_table cat on cat.id = bug.category_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN mantis_project_version_table vers on vers.project_id = vers.project_id and vers.version = bug.version

I am unable to get FTS working where the column to be searched is type varchar(MAX) or Text. I can get this to work if my column to be indexed is some statically assigned array size such as varchar(1000).
For instance this works, and will return all applicable results.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PageText] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm);
And this does not. It returns zero results what so ever.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PageText] [varchar](MAX) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm);
Could someone please tell me what I need to do to enable FTS on varchar(MAX) or Text columns?

In MS SQL Server, I have the following tables with some data in it.create table table1 (column1 varchar(32),column2 int not null,column10 varchar(255),.....primary key (column1, column2),);create table table2 (column1 varchar(32),column2 int not null,column20 varchar(255) not null,....foreign key (column1, column2) references table1(column1, column2));Now, I need to change the all column types from varchar to nvarchar tosupport internationalized character set.I am able to do so, for columns column10 in table1 and column20 oftable2 without any problems by using command:"alter table table1 alter column column10 nvarchar(255);"But, when I try the similar thing for column1 of table1/table2, amgetting one error message saying like: "ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN failedbecause one or more objects access this column". I guess, this iscoming because of foreign key relationship between the tables.NOTE: While defining the table2, for foreign key I have not specifiedanything like "on update cascase" ...etc.How can I resolve this issue? Any suggestions/solutions are reallyhelpful to me. Thanks in advance.

There are 3 columns in the result set - part num, Qty and MO num. Each MO num has part numbers.So there might be same part numbers in MO's. Each part num has qty. So, if I group by part num, I get Qty.
1.There are duplicates of part.num and I want to remove duplicates and add quantities of those duplicates into one single quantity. For example, xxxx is a part num, then xxxx=1,xxxx=3,xxxx=5. I want xxxx=9. I want to sum those. Another question is, each MO has a user. I want to join user and MO num in MO.
Heres the code,
part.num , (woitem.qtytarget/wo.qtytarget) AS woitemqty,

A month or so ago I instigated this thread- http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=243117&SiteID=1 which talked about how to conditionally add a column to my component depending on the value of a custom property. If the custom property is TRUE then the column should appear in the output (and vice versa).
Bob Bojanic said I should use the SetComponentProperty() method to do this and that is working pretty well. However, it bothers me that SetComponentProperty() could be called, the column will then be added, and then the package developer could press 'Cancel'. In this instance the value of my custom property would be inconsistent with the presence of the extra column.
How do you get around that?
Thanks

This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.

I have SSRS 2005 SP2 configured to work in Sharepoint integration. Everything works fine except that I am not able to programmatically change any property of report viewer web part (instance) that I have added on on home page of my sharepoint site.
I can do same thing via sharepoint UI but not through program. When my programs runs it fetches all web parts been added on home page, then I need to iterate through each one and find report viewer web part.
While iterating, as soon as I arrive to report viewer web part it is named as "Error web part" with error message as
"Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again"
If someone has a solution, please respond at your earlist.
Thanks

I have a table with a column named measurement decimal(18,1). If the value is 2.0, I want the stored proc to return 2 but if the value is 2.5 I want the stored proc to return 2.5. So if the value after the decimal point is 0, I only want the stored proc to return the integer portion. Is there a sql function that I can use to determine what the fraction part of the decimal value is? In c#, I can use
dr["measurement "].ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray())[1] to see what the value after the decimal is.
hi, good day,
i have using BCP to output SP return data into txt file, however, when it return nothing , it give SQLException like "no rows affected" , i have try to find out the solution , which include put "SET NOCOUNT ON" command before select statement, but it doesn't help :(
anyone know how to handle the problem when SP return no data ?
thanks in advance
I have made the following Scalar-valued function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeCalc]
(
@OriginalTime AS INTEGER
, @TenthsOrHundredths AS INTEGER -- code 2: 1/10, code 4: 1/100
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(8)
[Code] ....
What it does is convert numbers to times
E.g.: 81230 gets divided by 10 (times in seconds: 8123). This 1 1 full minute, and the remainder = 2123 making it 1.21.23 mins)
So far so good (function works perfectly)
My question: sometimes times are in 1/100 (like above sample), sometimes in 1/10.
This means that, e.g. with a time like 3.23.40 the last zero must be deleted.
My thoughts are to use the results from the Return Case part, and as the code = 4: leave it as it is,
is the code 2 the use LEFT(... result Return Case ..., Len(..result Return Case.. - 1))
There are 5 codes: 0 1 2 3 and 4
