Table Names And Field Names
Jan 21, 2004I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?

How To Write A Script To Create A Table (With Unfixed Field Names)?
Mar 28, 2006Hello All.
You may find below script stupid to you. I am trying to create a table with week number that is not fixed, i.e. March 2006 may have 4 weeks and April 5 weeks based on our company calendar.
And Field Names could be Grp, SubGrp, Week_10, Week_11, Week_12, Week_13 depending on the week being stored in TempWeekFile. We could start the month having only Week 10 and following week with Week 11 added into TempWeekFile.
My below script shows error. I have following records in my TempWeekFile
Week_No WeekCnt
10 1
11 2
12 3
13 4
How to write a script that do the above? Has anyone done this using a better method? Please advise. Thank you.

Using Correlation Names - Same Table Referenced 4X In Select
May 18, 2015I have a "case" table describing what type of social worker case and who performed work on the case. Four case workers are referenced within each case and all workers belong to the "worker" table. I am trying to present the case worker name on a detailsView rather then the much simpler task of showing the worker's index stored within the case. I can't seem to get the correlation names working.
SelectCommand="SELECT [ReportID], [RecCreated], tblVCaseType.Description AS cType, [IntakeDate], tblVCounty.Description AS County, [Abuse], [Neglect], [Dependency], [AfterHours],
[Screenout], tblVScreenOutcome.Description AS Outcome, [Closed], [ClosedDate], iWorker.[Worker Name], cWorker.[Worker Name] ,
tblVAssessmentType.Description AS aType, tblVTimeframe.Description AS tFrame, tblVDisposition.Description AS Dispo , tblVProgramXfer.Description AS Xfer,
[Code] ...
Getting only one worker name is easy. But, I need all four. I have tried many versions without success. The error from this version is repeated 4X:
The multi-part identifier "tblVWorker.ID" could not be bound.

View 2 Replies View RelatedNeed Help W/ SELECT From One Table, One Field, Multiple Unique Records
Apr 22, 2006I'm new to MS SQL and VB. I have a table with one field JOB_NAME containing 20 records. Out of that field I want to retrieve 6 of the 20 records into a pulldown menu. They are all unique text names like so:
Anna Smith
John Doe
etc. I did not see IDs listed for any of the names in the table when I looked.
There is no common denominator to the names that can be filtered in the SELECT statement, and the 6 that I want will need to be pulled out individually.
Is there a way to do this with a SELECT statement? I have not found much information about how to extract unique records out of a single field. Here's the statement I'm using which pulls all of them:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT JOB_NAME AS Names FROM [WORKER_NAMES] WHERE JOB_NAME<>' ' ORDER BY JOB_NAME ASC"
This gives me the total list but I only want to bring back 6 of the 20 for the pulldown.
Is there a way to modify this statement to pull only the records that I want?
Thanks for any help you can give.

View 1 Replies View RelatedNeed To Set A Field In A Select Statement Equal To Yes Or No If Record Exists In Separate Table
Jan 8, 2008Hey 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.

Field Names From SQL Statement
Mar 9, 2004Is 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

Scrambled Field Names In Views
Dec 19, 2007While creating a view in SQl Server 2005 Management Studio Or Interation Services on a SQL Server 2000 database using "*" something very strange happens. Has anyone every seen this happen before?
The new view is created something like the following:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[new_view]
AS
SELECT *
FROM Table1
GO
However, when right-clicking on the new view, and choosing "Design", the SELECT scrambles the field names with aliases of the other field names. When the view is run, the result set is incorrect. It may look something like the following:
SELECT
Field1,
Field2 AS Field3,
Field3 AS Field4,
Field4 AS Field5,
.
.
.
From Table1
