SELECT Syntax Question

Sep 22, 2006

Hi,

Simple question:

Is there any way to write this in a shorter form:

SELECT fcol like 'X' or fcol like 'Y' or fcol like 'Z'

Maybe something like (which I know it won't work but just to give you an idea what I am looking for)

SELECT fcol like ('X' or 'Y' or 'Z')


I know of this (Full query), but it doesn't work with WILD card characters

select ftype
from engecnentries
where ftype in ('%cone%','%basin%')

any ideas?

Select Syntax

May 16, 2002

In a select statement select_list, if one of the columns in the result set is NULL, I need to substitute a constant value else I want to return the value in the column. Would I use an IF_THEN_ELSE or CASE expression and how would that look?
Thanks,
Robert

ABout SELECT Syntax?

Nov 7, 2006

Hi,everyone.

Today I met with a interesting problem. According to Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 BOOKS ONLINE, there is following SELECT Syntax:

(1) SELECT @local_variable (Transact-SQL)

For example:

DECLARE @i int
SELECt @i=100

(2) SELECt QUERY statement:

SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT ]
[ TOP expression [ PERCENT ] [ WITH TIES ] ]
<select_list>
<select_list> ::=
.....

For example,

[AdventureWorks]
SELECT * FROM DatabaseLog


To my surprise, in the given project, I met this kind of SELECT statement,

DECLARE @w_type varchar(10), @i varchar(30)
SELECT @i='3'
SELECT @w_type='OLTPNORMAL' WHERE @i IN ('0','1','2','3','4','5','9',)
SELECT @w_type

The result is:

OLTPNORMAL

However, I have not met with the kind of SELECT statement before. Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

Help W/syntax Select In A While Loop

Aug 31, 2004

I am having trouble with this statement. I am returning multiple rows because I am doing the select statement within the loop. I need to keep the loop somehow because of the where clause of the select statement:

'AND @start not in (select sh_istart from casemas where sh_istart in (select sh_istop from casemas where sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)))
and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop'

Is there anyway that I can maintain the ability to use the loop but not do mutiple select statements like below:

Also I'm trying really hard not to use temp tables in this example

Result from select statement below

sh_serial
-----------
53565
53597

sh_serial
-----------
53565
53597

sh_serial
-----------

sh_serial
-----------
53588
53597

Desired results:

sh_serial
-----------
53588
53597
53565

Syntax:

declare @start int
select @start = 580
declare @stop int
select @stop = 900

while @start <= @stop
begin
select sh_serial,
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and (sh_serial <> 600000)
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)
and sh_serial in

(select distinct sh_serial
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)
AND @start not in (select sh_istart from casemas where sh_istart in (select sh_istop from casemas where sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)))
and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop
group by sh_serial
having (sum(schi_qty) + 1 < 4 ))


select @start = @start + 1
end



I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! :o

Hi,

I looked up select case statements and have used them for returning single values, but can't seem to get it working when returning a select statement..

I have my SPROC configured as below, can anyone help me out as to why its not working?

IF @genderID > 2
..
ELSE
........WHERE genderID = @genderID


thanks very much once again!
mike123



CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[select_123]
(
@genderID tinyint
)

AS SET NOCOUNT ON


SELECT

CASE @genderID
WHEN 1 THEN

SELECT TOP 40 *

FROM tbl
WHERE .......


WHEN 2 THEN

SELECT TOP 40 *

FROM tbl
WHERE .......
ELSE
SELECT TOP 40 *

MSSQL Select Syntax Help

Jan 16, 2007

I have a table that has unit id, date, time, etc. I would like to select each unit id with the last date it has in the table. The result should have each unit listed once with the latest date in the table.

Example SQL Syntax To Select Data And Divide

May 7, 2007

I'm trying to help out a beginning DBA and come up with a SQL query. Here is the information I've been given so far.

"I have a SQL database (TEST1_new) with several tables. I need to have some values updated in one of the tables HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1). I need the value that exists in the QTY_SHIPPED field to be divided by 250. I also need to include a WHERE statement for the PLANNED_SHIP_DATE greater than 11/15/2004 and a CATALOG_NO =18053185292 or 18053185285.

Basically, what I need to do is take the value for QTY_SHIPPED for Catalog_NO 18053185285 & 18053185282 and divide the result by 250"

After reading through her statement above about 10 times and guessing a bit, here's what I was able to come up with. I'm sure the syntax is not correct but maybe it's close to being what's needed?

INSERT INTO HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1()

(SELECT dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB.QTY_SHIPPED LIMIT 1) /250),PLANNED_SHIP_DATE from dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB

WHERE CATALOG_NO = ‘18053185292’
OR CATALOG_NO= ‘18053185285’

AND PLANNED_SHIP_DATE > ‘11/15/2004’;

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Chris.

Syntax To Abandon SELECT On First Occurrence Of Criteria?

Nov 6, 2013

Have a need to scan a large table to see if a set of criteria have ever been met.

If/when the scan hits its first record meeting the criteria, the scan can be abandoned.

Is there some syntax/option that accomplishes this?

Right now, I am doing a SELECT with criteria against the table and the @@ROWCOUNT gives me a zero, or non-zero value.

But that methodology means that the SELECT has to execute against the entirety of the table.

I'd like to abandon the SELECT as soon as it detects a first record meeting the criteria.

Nested Select Query Generating Syntax Error

Jan 23, 2008

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. If not I apologize. I have a nested select query that I imported from Oracle:

Oracle Version:



Code Snippetselect avg(days) as days from (
select dm_number, max(dm_closedate) - max(comment_closed_date) as days from dm_data
where
dm_type = 'prime' and
dm_closedate <= '31-dec-2007' and
dm_closedate >= '1-dec-2007' and
program = 'aads'
group by dm_number)





SQL Version:



select round(abs(avg(days)), 0) as days from
(select dm.dm_number, abs(datediff(DAY,max(dm.dm_closedate), max(dm.comment_closed_date))) as days
from dm_data dm, ProgramXref px
where
px.Program_Name = 'aads'
and dm.Program_Id = px.Program_Id
and dm.dm_type = 'prime'
and dm.dm_closedate <= '31-dec-2007'
and dm.dm_closedate >= '1-dec-2007'
group by dm.dm_number)





In Oracle the query runs fine. In SQL I am getting a "Line 10: Incorrect syntax near ')'." error. If I run just the nested portion of the query, there are no errors. It only happens when the first query tries to query the nested query. Can anyone help me get the syntax correct?

Thanks,
Lee

Stored Procudure With Multiple Select... Incorrect Syntax Near 'storedProcedure'

Mar 8, 2004

Hi,

Im fairly new to writing stored procudures so I thought you lot might be able to help with this problem.

I have a stored procudure which looks like this:

CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
(
@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
)

AS

DECLARE @idAgency INT

SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;

SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency

SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency

GO

It basically first declare's and sets @idAgency using the first small select statment, then uses that parameter to run two more selects queries which I want sending to a dataset. Now within the Query Analyzer this works fine. But in my asp.net page it trows up this error:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'spAdminAgencyActivate_Select'

Now the code im using in the asp.net page is as follows:


Dim objSqlConnection as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strCon"))
Dim objSqlCommand_Select as New SqlCommand("spAdminAgencyActivate_Select", objSqlConnection)

objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@strAgencyId", SqlDbType.Char, 6))
objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters("@strAgencyId").Value = "tes001"

Dim objSqlDataAdapter as New SqlDataAdapter(objSqlCommand_Select)

Dim dsActivateAgency as New DataSet()

objSqlConnection.Open()
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table", "tblBranches")
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table1", "tblUsers")
objSqlDataAdapter.Fill(dsActivateAgency)
objSqlConnection.Close()


Can anyone help? I believe the error is in the stored procedure somewhere, because if I change the stored procedure so no parameters are being passed to it then it starts working. This is what I comment out and change for it to to get it working, but obviously this is not satisfactory as a final result because the parameter is hard coded in the stored procedure. Im just showing this to see if it gives anyone a clue!!

CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
--(
--@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
--)

AS

--DECLARE @idAgency INT

--SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;

SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1

SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1

GO

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Which Is Faster? Conditional Within JOIN Syntax Or WHERE Syntax?

Mar 31, 2008

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:

INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName

OR

WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName


My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?

Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?

Thanks!

Converting Rrom Access Syntax To Sql Syntax

Sep 23, 2007


Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:

SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',

IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',

)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................

how can you convert it to sql syntax

I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End

end




Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.






Your input will be appreciated

Thank you

Dim taskforceID As Byte = ddlTaskForce.SelectedValueDim uic As String = DDLUIC.SelectedValue
sql = "select sidstrNAME_IND from CMS.dbo.tblSIDPERS where sidstrSSN_SM in (Select Case u.strSSN from tblAssignedPersonnel as u " _
& "where u.bitPresent = 1 and u.intUICID in (select intUICID from tblUIC where intTaskForceID = " & taskforceID & " and strUIC = '" & uic & "'))"ddlPerNames.Items.Add(New ListItem("", "0"))
buildDD(sql, ddlPerNames)
 
End Sub

(Select All) In Multi-select Enabled Drop Down Parameters Doesn't Work

Apr 29, 2008

Hello all,
I have two mult-value parameters in my report. Both of them working with selecting one or more values. But, when I test using "(Select All)" values for both parameters , only one parameter works. The "available values" for these two parameters are both from the data set.

select distinct ProductType
from Product
order by ProductType

Any suggestion? thx

SELECT-Using Correlated Subqueries: Just Name In Results &&amp; 0 Row Affected In One Of MSDN2 SELECT Examples

Jan 11, 2008

Hi all,
I copied and executed the following sql code in my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE):
--SELECTeg8.sql from SELECT-Using correlated subqueries of MSDN2 SELECT Examples--

USE AdventureWorks ;

GO

SELECT DISTINCT Name

FROM Production.Product p

WHERE EXISTS

(SELECT *

FROM Production.ProductModel pm

WHERE p.ProductModelID = pm.ProductModelID

AND pm.Name = 'Long-sleeve logo jersey') ;

GO

-- OR

USE AdventureWorks ;

GO

SELECT DISTINCT Name

FROM Production.Product

WHERE ProductModelID IN

(SELECT ProductModelID

FROM Production.ProductModel

WHERE Name = 'Long-sleeve logo jersey') ;

GO

=========================================
I got:
Results Messages
Name o row affected
========================================
I think I did not get a complete output from this job. Please help and advise whether I should search somewhere in the SSMSE for the complete results or I should correct some code statements in my SELECTeg8.sql for obtaining the complete results.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Reporting Services :: Select Text Field Dataset Based On User Select Option?

Aug 4, 2015

I have a report that uses different datasets based on the year selected by a user.

I have a year_id parameter that sets a report variable named dataset_chosen. I have varified that these are working correctly together.

I have attempted populating table cell data to display from the chosen dataset. As yet to no avail.

How could I display data from the dataset a user selects via the year_id options?
