Hi,
How do I round when number is ending with 5 for example:
When the number next to number 5 is an even number
24.5 = 24.0 round down
0.245 = .24 round down
1265 = 1260 round down
when the number next to number 5 is an odd number
23.5 = 24.0 round up
0.235 = .24 round up
1755 = 1760 round up
Thanks in advance!
How do you display 12.38 as 1238 I can't use round.

This is my week number, SELECT DATEPART(WEEK, DATEADD(MONTH, +3, ApptDt2)). I need to get Saturday's date from this week.
I get this error when I attempt to read from a datareader using the following sql statement:

I am getting a error message saying: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals datetime.
I traced the pointer to @gdo and @gd, they are both dates!
INSERT INTO AdminAlerts values (CURRENT_USER, 'UPDATE', getDate(), @biui, 'Updated booking, ID of booking updated: ' & @biui & ', Booking date and time before/after update: ' & @gdo & '/' & @gd & ', Room number before/after update: ' & @rno & '/' & @rn & ' and Customer ID before/after update: ' & @cio & '/' & @ci)
If I cut that two dates out it works fine.
Could someone tell me the syntax to include a date in a string :confused:
hi,In MySql,we can run below query
select appid,dvbpath,business from ocgxmldbinfo group by appid
but in MSSql,it can't!so i want to know whether the following query equals it?
select distinct appid,dvbpath,business from ocgxmldbinfo order by appid
thanks!
why following happens? can anyone explain the logic?
if 'a ' = 'a'
select 'equal'
else
select 'not equal'

I have a table called "Inc_Exp_Accounts". The table has ledger account numbers and names. It also has a third column called "IsExpense". The IsExpense column is a bit field = 0 (false) if the account is an income account and = -1 (true) if the account is an expense account. I only have income and expense accounts. I do not have other accounts such as asset accounts. The distinguishing thing about income accounts is that the account number (an nvarchar(11) type) is a '3'. Anything else makes it an expense account.
I would think I can use the following SQL statement to correctly set the IsExpense column:
UPDATE Inc_Exp_Accounts
SET IsExpense = IIF(LEFT(Account_Number, 1) = '3', False, True)
But nooo, I cannot! I cannot even run it because Visual Studio SQL Syntax checker rejects it. It complains about the second '='. If I change the second '=' to '>', then it complains about '>'. Therefore, I think I have the particular character about which it complains.
Ths specific complaint (error message) is: "Error in list of function arguments: '=' not recognized.
Unable to parse query text.".
So what is wrong?
Is it possible to use wildcards with an equals statement? Such asSELECT * FROM Table WHERE City = '%' AND State='Ca'Bascially just stating where city equals anything...I know you can do it with a LIKE statement such as...SELECT * FROM Table WHERE City LIKE '%' AND State='Ca'but is that very efficient?The reason I want to do this is because I want to programmitcally set the city, so just ommiting it won't work
Also, using City LIKE '%' seems to not include NULL...is there anywayto include NULL as well as anything else?
Thanks for your help!
Hello,
I perform queries on tables with 500,000 plus records, when I use the like clause or the = for record names with large numbers I get different counts with each run. As an example if I was searching retail stores and k-mart was one I get counts like the following
1st run: k-mart 2200
2nd run: k-mart 2240
3rd run: k-mart 2197 etc. etc.
The records may be k-mart inc or kmart inc or k-mart etc.
If anyone has a better understanding of how the items are searched for and knows a better way please respond.
Thank you in advance.
I have a table with a column of type date. I want to select all records where the date column = today. I tried
Select * from myTable where DateSent = GetDate()
but it returns no records.
Do I really have to use this slow method?
select datesent from Messages where convert(varchar,DateSent,103) = CONVERT(varchar, GetDate(), 103)
This seems to be a rather old problem (http://www.themssforum.com/SQLServer/Does-empty/) but I couldn't find an answer yet.
The problem is: I have two tables t1 and t2 where t1 is a staging area of t2.
t1: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
t2: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
Data in t1: (1, '') <- empty string
Data in t2: (1, ' ') <- a blank
Comparing t1.phone with t2.phone results in equality which in my opinion isn't correct.
The question ist: How can I change the behaviour of SQL-Server to result in inequality so that the change in my staging table is detected correctly?
Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,
Im having trouble stopping a transaction once the result on one or more of my sql statements rolls back the transaction. Take a look at one my first 'IF' statement (below). If the parameter '@Return' is 'False' i want the transaction rolleback and all sql execution to stop. But my problem is the rest of the sql gets executed and i end up getting rubbish data. Im still new to transactions so i think im doing something really wrong. Please take a look at my sql and help me out in what ever way you think is best. thanks in advance.

Hi Kristen:
Thanks for your help in my date problem. It worked perfectly. I was away and could not answer back promptly.
yesterday, i was inserting data from a data file into a SQL table. 1 record had a name field as varchar. But it accidently, ended with a &.
For example, "New Construction &". when I am inserting, its taking all records except this record that ends with a &. Is there any way to include this one Or should I tell my client that this is an error.
If its an error, what is the expalnation(Like string char does not end with a & and & is a ------).
Thanks others in the forum.
I am sorry. "New Construction &". Its not a column name. Its just a record. The table has a column called Name and it accidently, got a record that has "New Construction &" for the Name column.
Its not inserting that record with "New Construction &" in the Name field. Other records are fine.
I am attempting to learn Service Broker from Bob Beauchemin's book "A Developer's Guide to SQL Server" - Chapter 11. I'm finding it to be very good but I'm confused over the concept of closing a conversation. Could someone answer the following questions for me?
When a conversation is ended, can the conversation handle that was created when the conversation was created still be used? (I assume not)
Beauchemin says, on page 511, that when a conversation ends, "Any messages still in the queue from the other end of the conversation are deleted with no warning." Does this mean that if I send a message that expects a reply, but I end the conversation, the message is still sent, it is still received by the other endpoint, the other endpoint processes it, but I'll never receive the reply?
Beauchemin says that if no lifetime is specified, the conversation is active for the number of seconds which can be represented by the maximum size of an integer. Does this mean that if I don't specify a lifetime, a conversation is active for many, many years?
Thanks very much.

When does Microsoft support for 6.5 end? I am anxious to get rid of my old 6.5s but won't get approval until MS finally pulls the plug.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAlright here's my situation.
I have two servers both running Eval copies of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. This is only because I had the promise that I would be getting a shiney new server with a fully licensed copy of the server soon so I wasn't worried when I setup these two programs to use these. Now they are dragging their feet to approve the server and software so I'm scared.
First question - What will happen when the eval period runs out?
Second question - Can I tell what the date was when I installed the server?
These both will help me push management to approve atleast the purchase of an SQL license if I can't get the server.
Thanks.

I have a process that seems to leave many orphaned sessions over a period of time. The software is by a 3rd party vendor and they can't seem to fix it. It is safe to end the orphaned sessions and I do that on a regular basis. My questions is: What is the best way to do this via T-SQL?
I can select the orphaned sessions by using a simple query on the sys.dm_exec_sessions table. How do I then run a kill command for each session_id from that query?
I appreciate any info/advice anyone might have!
Hello,I currently have Table1 and View1.View1 is a query from 2 or 3 tables that works fine on its own.However in my current query if I try to use it...something like...SELECT a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, b.col1, b.col2, b.col3FROM View1 a JOIN Table1 b on a.col1 = b.col1WHERE a.col2 <b.col2 OR a.col3 <b.col3It throws an error "Server: Msg 446, Level 16, State 9, Line 1 Cannotresolve collation conflict for not equal to operation."Clearly I need to use collation between Table1 and View1, But I dontknow where I need to use "COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI" andhow? this is the collation set on Table1.Thank you!Yas

I would like to know how I could code so that I can get the ending inventory of each day. The following is my data
CREATE TABLE #TEMP

DATERCVD DATETIME
,ACCTID INT
,DATESENT DATETIME
)
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES ('01/01/2015', 1 , '01/05/2015')
[Code] ....
So my query results should be something like this:
InventoryDate Received Sent Ending
1/1/2015 4 1 3
1/2/2015 5 0 8
1/3/2015 3 2 9
1/4/2015 0 4 5
1/5/2015 0 5 0
TOTAL 12 12
I've read Remus' article on Fire and Forget tactics when it comes to ending conversations, and I have to admit I am guilty of sending a message to a service and immediately ending the conversation. I've set up a stored procedure to end the conversation on the initiator queue, but I'm guessing it's never being fired because I am not ending the conversation in the target activated stored proc, which is a CLR stored proc.
Can you tell me how to end the conversation from a CLR stored proc?
Now that I think of it none of the code I use in my TSQL activated stored procs to handle different message types and error-checking is done in the CLR stored proc.
Thanks
I have a bunch of records of the following layout:
A B 1235
A B 1236
A B 1237
A C 1238
A C 1239
When I run my script, I want to aggregate these together, but preserve the starting and ending record ids in two new columns:
A B 1235 1237
A C 1238 1239
Can I do all of this in an Aggregate Transformer, or do I need to derive some columns first?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a job in SQL Server agent with 199 SSIS steps and growing. In the job log only 99 steps are shown, which is a problem if a step higher than 99 fails to run. I need the steps to run in sequence and preferable would like to split the job into several jobs each containing no more than 99 steps. The only thing I don't know is if it is possible to have the next job in sequence start only when the previous job has finished.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how it is done?
Many thanks,
Paul
Hi,
I have a simple web application which calls a stored procedure. The stored procedure operates as a transaction and runs for several minutes. I've created a partial class to set the SQLcommand timeout property to avoid any timeouts, which works fine. Unfortunately though, when the application is run in the production environment, it ends in an error after a certain amount of time (maybe a couple of minutes - not exactly sure), which seems to be the same each run. It doesn't appear to end the stored procedure though, which results in locking the tables. It runs fine in the development environment, and it doesn't appear as though any error information is provided when the application crashes.
I'm assuming that the ASP.NET application is timing out for some reason, but the stored procedure itself is fine. I can run it directly from SQL server without any dramas. In the Virtual Directory configuration within IIS, I have the script timeout period set to 1200 seconds. The Default Web-Site timeout property is set to 120 seconds, but I'm assuming that this is only for internet connection timeout, not database transaction timeouts.
Any information as to what may be causing this is appreciated.
Thanks

Issue
I need to write VS2005 C# code using SQL OLE DB to access SQL Server 2005. I have no choice in that matter. I can create a database user with a password like COMPANY", which is a string of uppercase characters ending in an unmatched double-quote mark.
Using Microsoft SQL Server Server Management Studio I login using Windows Authentication, create an account with the password, COMPANY", check the "Enforce password policy", click "OK", and then exit.
Setup
I launch Microsoft SQL Server Server Management Studio again, select "SQL Server Authentication", type in the account name and the COMPANY" password, click the Connect button, and I'm in.
Problem
Now, I need to connect programmatically and run a stored procedure. The password is stored in clear text in hte Registry€”not my choice, it's a legacy application, and changing that is not an option open to me. (We have probably all seen company safes where the combination is scribbled on the wall in case you forget it!)
Here is the code I use to run the sproc:
DBCONNINFOLib.DBConnectionInfoClass DBConnInfo1 = new DBCONNINFOLib.DBConnectionInfoClass();
String strConnString = DBConnInfo1.GetConnectionString( "" );
OleDbConnection con1 = new OleDbConnection( strConnString );
OleDbCommand cmd1 = con1.CreateCommand();
cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
String sCmdText = "sp_SomeStoredProcedure";
cmd1.CommandText = sCmdText;
If I set the connection string in the registry to COMPANY", I get an error like this:
Server Error in '/' Application.

The closes to success I have been able to come is to set the password to "COMPANYNAME""" or 'COMPANYNAME"', which results in a System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConection Exception with a HResult of 0x80040e4d, and the message Login failed for user 'username'.
Questions
Can the password be formatted differently in the registry, or somehow processed after retrieving it, so that SQL Server 2005 will accept it?
Is this a bug in .NET Framework or SQL OleDb?
Is this simply a case of "Is it hurts, don't do it"?
Thanks in advance. As with all postings, my job, promotion, product success, company future, or some combination thereof is on the line.
