I am trying to run a query against the time & resourceorganization tables that returns selected entries from the time table, the date of the first day of the work week, and the current department. The query returns an "Exists" error. When I add exists or where exists I get ..an error near From. The main query and the sub query each run by themselves I just can;t seem to combine them. Here is what I have:
Using SQL Server 2005, I have set up a database for a school to provide timetables for students, teachers etc. The data is currently displayed in this form:
DAY LESSON YR SUBJ GRP STAFF ROOM Mon 1 7 PE T Da Gym Mon 2 7 PE T Da Gym Mon 3 7 Ma A Pr 5 Mon 4 7 Ma A Pr 5 Mon 5 7 Ma A Pr 5 Mon 6 7 Dr T Fn 36 Mon 7 7 Dr T Fn 36 Mon 8 7 En T Bn 21 Mon 9 7 En T Bn 21 Tue 1 7 De T Df 27 Tue 2 7 De T Df 27
etc.
I would like to display this as timetable with DAYS as row headings and LESSON numbers as column headings, with the remaining column info. in the above table combined into one value:
1 2 3 4 etc
MON (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 Ma A Pr 5) (7 Ma A Pr 5) TUE (7 De T Df 27) (7 De T Df 27) etc. WED THU FRI Should I be doing this with PIVOT (scares the life out of me ...) or is there some other solution? Many thanks.
Hi, I need to get first entries orderd by datetime asc, but I need the newest of this block returned first. Imagine to have some entries:
08:00 ... 09:00 ... 10:00 ... .... ... 15:00 16:00 17:00 .... I want to get the first 3 but the highest in time first. Like this: 10:00 ... 09:00 ... 08.00 ...
Say you have a table that contains 1000 rows, you create a simple select statement with a where clause that returns 100 or so of those rows. Easy enough.
Now, let's say that you wish to modify that select so that out of the 100 rows that match the where clause criteria, you only wish to return 10 rows randomly (i.e., you could run this query multiple times and get different results). How exactly would you go about doing this, efficiently?
I've thought about creating a stored procedure that will query the initial 100 rows into a temp table with an additional column (to number the rows from 1 to 100). Then setting up a loop (10 iterations) that will then generate a random number from 1 to 100 and select that row number into another temp table. At the end of the loop I'll have my table of randomly selected records. I am sure there is probably a better way to do this...
i have a stored procedure that has parameters. this dataset is used in a crystal report. the parameters are in the sp and will return records if a value is selected. i would like to return records if one parameter or all parameters are selected. there are 3 parameters, date range, receipt, po # if i select a distinct value and leave the others null, or 2 values 1 null etc, i would like to return the records, i am having trouble with the syntax. thank you
I have an external process that polls message rows from a table. apon taking them, it also needs to mark them as taken. there is a status column in the table. marking messages as taken will change the value of status.
How can i perform both these operations in one command? Select the top x rows where their status is equal 1, then update the status of those same rows to a value of 5 for example.
I could iterate through the result of hte intial select and change the status 1 by 1 using a cursor, but this seems like a slow option.
I am building a sql table. It is a time table. It has fields From/To stations, departure_time/arrival_time, blocktime and total time. Is there any way I can create a computed column which subtracts departure_time from arrival_time and displays it in block_time column. Is there any way to sum the block_time. Datetime is unable to sum time if it is above 24:00. I am using SQL 2000
to display data like above would be simpler. The above timetable would be similar all through the year.
But my 3rd requirement is that, there is a option wherein the school admin can edit the timetable for any particular day or a week based on presence/absence of a particular teacher. So if a teacher who is teaching Maths is not present for 2 days, they might assign a different subject(eg., Physics) for those 2days to a different teacher.
so the table should look like below for those two days only based on the date selection.
I am not sure how exactly I can mention the dates wherein I can allocate the days when the periods are changed and how exactly same timetable should be shown for the entire year if there is no change.
suppose the timetable is changed for two days 24/01/2015 and 25/01/2015 wherein Maths is replaced with Physics subject, how to retrieve the changed data for only those two days.
Using SSRS 2008 r2...I have a report with a single-value parameter and three multi-value parameters, Class1, Name2 and Name3. I'm hoping for an explanation to one thing that I'm seeing and information on a second thing.
Class1 and Name2 both have the (Select All) parameter selected but Class1 is displaying the concatenated parameter variable list whereas Name2 is showing Null. Why is that? If anything, how can I get Class1 to be similar to Name2 and show Null?But my desired wish is to have Class1, Name2 and Name3 display the text"All Selected" when the parameter (Select All) is chosen.
I have created a Transactional Replication Publication on my SQL 2012 server.When I log into another server on the domain running 2008R2 and try to subscribe to the 2012 Publication, I get the following error when clicking on "Add SQL Server Subscriber": "The selected Subscriber does not satisfy the minimum version compatibility level of the selected publication"
The 2012 DB is set as 2008 Compatibility Mode?Am I not able to Publish from 2012 to 2008?.I was using SSMS 2008 to connect to my 2012 Instance, thats why it didn't work...
If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?
I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.
------ SQL ------- SELECT job.job_number, (SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number) FROM job_status_log jsl WHERE job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
[code].....
In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.
I am opening a simple command against a view which joins 2 tables, so that I can return a column which is defined as a tinyint in one of the tables. The SELECT looks like this: SELECT TreatmentStatus FROM vwReferralWithAdmissionDischarge WHERE ClientNumber = 138238 AND CaseNumber = 1 AND ProviderNumber = 89 The TreatmentStatus column is a tinyint. When I execute that above SQL SELECT statement in SQL Server Management Studio (I am using SQL Server 2005) I get a value of 2. But when I execute the same SQL SELECT statement as a part of a SqlDataReader and SqlCommand, I get a return data type of integer and a value of 1. Why?
I hvae a stored procedure that has this at the end of it: BEGIN EXEC @ActionID = ActionInsert '', @PackageID, @AnotherID, 0, '' END SET NOCOUNT OFF
SELECT Something FROM Something Joins….. Where Something = Something now, ActionInsert returns a Value, and has a SELECT @ActionID at the end of the stored procedure. What's happening, if that 2nd line that I pasted gets called, 2 result sets are being returned. How can I modify this SToredProcedure to stop returning the result set from ActionINsert?
Hi, I am searching for the most easy SQL solution:
Lets say i have 500000 rows of cars in one table with 30000 different car ID's. This table contains no keys, no date values, but I need the last row of these 30000 different cars. How do I get them without adapting table structure and without using cursors ?
I have a table which stores phone numbers of a customer in a table.
Say this table is as below
CustomerName - PhoneNumber Customer 1 - Phone number 1 Customer 2 - Phone number 2 Customer 2 - Phone number 3 Customer 3 - Phone number 4
What would be the best approach to prevent adding another entry against Customer 2. I should be able to add new customers and add multiple phone number against all other Customers. The restriction should be only against Customer 2.
I am trying to pull the last three entries from a table in my database but I am having trouble writing the correct query. The database has multiple entries for each item in my database but I want to pull just the last three for each item. I have tried the TOP function with the items ordered in descending order but that only works when I define each item seperatley. I need to know how to pull the last three entries for every item I have in the table.
Without technical information and DB design, I wish to know the maximum entries in MS SQL in million. I guest for access are a limit of 2 million and a 2GB DB. How much for MS SQL in max. entries and how much in GB?
I'm extracting data from a log (log_history) of patients where nurses perform various actions on a call, such as assessing and reassessing, despatching etc. This is the script:
Select L.URN, LH.THE_TIMESTAMP, LH.ACTION_TYPE, LH.ACTION_BY, LH.ACTION_REQD, LH.NOTE, em.position_type_ref From LOG L Join Log_history LH on (L.URN = LH.LOG_URN) left outer join employee em on (em.code = LH.action_by) Where (L.Taken_at >= :DateFrom and L.Taken_at <= :DateTo) and (LH.ACTION_TYPE = 'D') and (em.position_type_ref ='NU')
Order By L.URN ASC, LH.THE_TIMESTAMP DESC
The result I get shows duplicate 'timestamp' entries and I only want to return unique timestamp entries. Does anyone have any ideas. I'm self taught and have hit a wall
I need help desperately. The following is an example of the data that I have.
I have two tables one name Customers and the other named Orders. The tables have the following attributes
CUSTOMER CustomerNum, CustomerName, OrderNum
ORDER OrderNum, OrderDesc, CustomerNum
Bare in mind that the CustomerNum can have multiple customers attached to it, example a whole family (I know bad database design but it's too late to change) Let's use the following info for the tables respectively
The query i'm using is select Customer.CustomerNum, Customer.CustomerName, Orders.OrderDesc from CUSTOMER, ORDERS where CUSTOMER.CustomerNum = ORDER.CustomerNum
I have an application that allows the user to enter data into a table. There are multiple users so I put in some code that, I thought, would keep 2 users from creating a new record at the same time. The IDs for the records are identical and this is causing a problem.
The IDs are in the format of ####-mmyy. at the start of each month the #### part goes back to 1.
We tried a test today where we had 2 users click on the New button at exactly the same time. The IDs that were created were identical. Is there anyway on the database that I can prevent this from happening?
Here is how I create the new record id:
I get the MAX(ID) from the table I add 1 to the ID and then insert a new record with the new ID into the table.

Hi,I have a form that should show 2 pictures based on table entries.I want those 2 pictures to be randomly selected based on a database table. So, my table has all the entries, and I want to pull out a random entry that has been approved to display it.Can someone help me with the sql query?I can do SELECT VoteId FROM tblVotes WHERE Approved=True..But how do I make selection a random one that changes every time the user gets another entry?
Hello, I have a reference table. This table has an effective date and end date, and I need to get a single set of values at a point in time. Suppose the following hotel rating values are the values that I want to pull out of the table: 1 Star2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star This value has other information associated with it (benchmarks and such) and so it's possible that one of the 2 star entries gets end-dated, and then a new 2 Star entry gets created with an effective date and no end date. How can I query so that I only get one 2 Star entry at any point, and get the point in time where the date is between the effective and end date, but only pull back a single set of entries, one distinct rating value. So, suppose the first entry is end-dated 7/1, if I look at old data, I want to see the old benchmarks and so I want the previous entry end-dated 7/1; otherwise, I want to see the new end-date, with the new 2 star entry with no end date. How do I do that? Make sense?
I am a newb at ms sql and was hoping someone could help me eliminate duplicate PRODUCT.PRODUCT from this statement. I have tried using DISTINCT with the same results.The ProductImage table is causing this because the duplicates are from the PRODUCT.PRODUCT that have more than 1 image.
If anyone could rewrite this statement so I can learn from this, it would be most appreciated!
