SELECT A Random Row For Each Different Type

Jul 20, 2005

Hello all,

I'm using SS 2000

Based on the following table and data:

CREATE TABLE T (
F1 VARCHAR(1),
F2 INT,
F3 INT)

/* T has no unique key */

/* The data */
INSERT INTO T
SELECT 'A' AS F1, 1 AS F2, 10 AS F3
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 2, 12
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 3, 11
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A', 4, 10
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 3, 11
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A', 0, 0
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 2, 5
UNION ALL
SELECT 'D', 6, 7

In the real situation, T is a subquery build from some tables and views. I
cannot easily send the real problem.

I want a query that will return:
- One row for each different F1, no matter which it is.
- Ideally, no temporary table should be created. Only subquery.
- F2 and F3 must come from the same row. So the use of aggregate functions
to retreive each of them cannot be used.

A possible result could be:

F1 F2 F3
---- --------- -----------
A 1 10
B 2 12
D 6 7

How could I do that?

Thanks for your help

Yannick

Random Error Occurred While Attempting To Perform A Type Cast, Why?

Apr 17, 2008



Hi all!

I´m having some trouble with a SSIS package that I´ve been using five months or so now.

I have a package scheduled to run every 2 minutes to load data into my SQL Server instance
from our mobile computer systems. This data comes is read as flat file sources. My package runs 24/7.

My problem is that this package randomly returns "An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast". This message is then returned during maybe 3 or 4 executions of the package. The error then vanishes into thin air, without me doing anything what so ever, and execution continues. The very same file that previously returned the errors is now processed without any problems.

I have no clue why this is, but I get the feeling that there has to be a reason for these random errors. To me, the type cast error seems to indicate problems with the data source (the flat file), but since the same file suddenly get processed without errors I have no clue where to start looking.

Anyone having the same issue?

Regards,

Daniel

Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement

Nov 7, 2007

Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?




SET NOCOUNT ON


Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000

Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)

Set @Counter = 0

while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end


Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'

Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'

Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL
Select 'brian'

Returning Random Records And NOT Similar (random Questions)

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

I'm just trying to develop my SQL skills and what to exercise good practices. I am using SQL Server 2005 Express.

My problem is that ' can´t get a decimal Value on the VALUE column ....

If i don't use the cast function i get a 0 , forcing a decimal value with cast i get 0.00 ..

This column is intended to retrieve a percentage , like 0,5(50%) ; 0,45 (45%), what is happening ?

SELECT DISTINCT Type ORDER BY

Nov 26, 2007

I am trying to display items from a table that have a type. For each condition there are between 7 and 10 types. I am looping through each type and displaying all items in that type. I am using DISTINCT to pull the types and count them, so I know how many there are and how times to loop. My problem is that DISTINCT is ordering the types alphabetically! I want them in the same order they went into the table. I tried adding ORDER BY primaryID, but got an error that said I also had to select primaryID as well as type, so now I am selecting every item that fits the condition and not just the DISTINCT types! Is there any way to make it order by column_position? I am using SQL 2K.

Multi Select Type-in Parameter

Nov 22, 2006

Hi All

Can anyone tell me whether or not it is
possible to multi select when you have a parameter
that is set as non-querried in order for it to be
typed instead of selected.

My users prefer typing the values and selecting
more than one. But at the moment I cant give them both..

I'm using SSRS with SSAS cube all in BI all 2005

Please help. I suspect that if it's possible it may just be a
syntax thing but I am yet to find it.

Thanks in advance

Select Most Recently Edited Item AND A Certain Type If Another Doesn't Exist

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int][LocationID] [int][Type] [nvarchar](10)[Address] [varchar](50)[City] [varchar](50)[State] [char](2)[Zip] [varchar](5)[AddDate] [datetime][EditDate] [datetime]AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???Thank you in advance for any and all replies...

Float Type Steals My Decimal Points And Money Type Kills My Query

Mar 28, 2008

Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1

If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.

anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?
