SELECT Statement - How To Not Get Column Field Names?
Jan 24, 2007
I do a SELECT * from table command in an ASP page to build a text file
out on our server, but the export is not to allow a field name rows of
records. The first thing I get is a row with all the field names. Why
do these come in if they are not part of the table records? How do I
eliminate this from being produced? Here's the ASP code....
<html>
<head>
<title>Package Tracking Results - Client Feed</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
' define variables
dim oConn ' ADO Connection
dim oRSc ' ADO Recordset - Courier table
dim cSQLstr ' SQL string - Courier table
dim oRSn ' ADO Recordset - NAN table
dim nSQLstr ' SQL string - NAN table
dim objFSO ' FSO Connection
dim objTextFile ' Text File
' set and define FSO connection and text file object location
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Set objTextFile =
objFSO.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("textfile.txt"))
'Response.Write (Server.MapPath("textfile.txt") & "<br />")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C: extfile.txt",2)
' write text to text file
'objTextFile.WriteLine "This text is in the file ""textfile.txt""!"

set oRSc=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRSc.Open cSQLstr, oConn
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
Dim i, j, tmp
If Not oRSc.EOF Then
For i = 1 To oRSc.Fields.Count
objTextFile.Write oRSc.Fields(i-1).Name

I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say
Select OrderId from Order.
But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Is there anyway to determine what the resulting Field Names are going to be from a SQL Statement?
For example:
SELECT TABLE1.FIELD1, TABLE1.FIELD2, TABLE1.FIELD3, TABLE2.FIELD1 AS ANOTHERNAME
FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK
resulting field names:
FIELD1
FIELD2
FIELD3
ANOTHERNAME
Seems easy enough splitting all values before "FROM" by comma and doing some manipulation to remove table names and anything before the word "AS". However, it gets more difficult when you have complex CASE statements embedded in you query that may also contain commas.
Just a shot in the dark because I don't know if anyone has already done something like this before.
Thank you in advance,
Jeff

Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
INTO AuxiliaryTable
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810
8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760
22810
Is there any good suggestion?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Aldo.

When I am using a SQL Query I have an ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results.
The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.
My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query.
The idea is that when I setup a view it€™s a drag/drop type of query building (query building for dummies if you will). Once I have a view and click the Execute icon it will return all the records selected by the View. However, when I click the upper left/top box to select all rows and column and then try to copy/paste the records into Excel all the data copies just fine but the field name/column headers are not there.
How can I get the header fieldname date to copy/paste from View result set that I'm able to copy from a Query result set?
Thank you,
Mike

I would like to provide the names of columns in an insert statement from a schema table, so that when running through a number of Bus Rule checks I can reference the schema table and only maintain the columns in the schema table rather than maintain named columns in multiple insert statements. So my query for one check looks like below. I'm using dynamic sql to execute the insert statement. My question is, is there a better way or different way to do this without using dynamic sql? Ie, Is there a way that I can use the columns parameter like this instead?
Insert
('+@columns+',KickoutID) Values('+@columns+',1);
Dynamic code:
Declare @columns as nvarchar(max);
Declare @InvSQL as nvarchar(max);
SELECT @columns =
STUFF ((
SELECT ', [' + name + ']'
FROM syscolumns WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('dbo.table_pvt')
[Code] ....

Hi
I've tried declaring and setting variables in my sql statement and then trying to use them instead of defining a column directly - sorry quite hard to explain, i'll do a simple example
eg
DECLARE @column
DECLARE @value
SET @column = 'col1'
SET @value = 'bloggs'
Select * FROM table1 WHERE @column = @value
It keeps returning no results even though i've tried
Select * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = 'bloggs' -- which returns results
I realise its the column which is not being selected, but there must be a way by using a variable?
thanks

Hi,
Is there any way to group variables present in a select statement.
My code:
SELECT @var1=something, @var2=something_else
FROM ...
GROUP BY @var1
I wanted to group by 'something' hence I used a variable to assign it to. But I'm unable to group it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello,
Is it possible to generate a identityfield dynamically upon select, like this:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username ASC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name12 - Name23 - Name3
The reason for this, is that i want to change the sort order in many diffrent ways, but i need to get the IDs from 1-?? even when the sort order changes.
Like:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username DESC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name32 - Name23 - Name1

Is there a way to set a field value to the column default in an update statement?
Eg.
UPDATE Table2 SET field1 = DefaultValue
where DefaultValue is the field1 column default in the table definition.
The reason I need to do this is when I delete a record from Table1, I need to set the foreign key in Table2 to the default (I don't want to delete the record in Table2, just want to set the key to a default key). I could hard-code the default value in the stored procedure but I think that's just not clean. If I create a new instance of the DB and the default value changes, I'd need to change the stored procedure(s). Just not clean...
To avoid a drawn-out discussion, there are reasons why I can't setup a relationship between the two tables and use "ON DELETE SET DEFAULT".
Any info greatly appreciated.

Hey gang,
I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query')
I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling.
Here's my current Query this works fine:
Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum
From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo
Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#')
What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note.
I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Consider the following data:
create table #test
(id int
,color varchar(20)
)
insert into #test
(id, color)
values
(1, 'blue'),(2, 'red'),(3,'green'),(4,'red,green')
if I wanted to run a query to select any records that had red in the color field, how would I do that? Not the one with only red, but a query that would give me both record number 2 and record number 4.

Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
