Check Constraint - Compare Sum Of Two Values In One Table Against Values Located In Another Table
Jul 26, 2014I am relatively new to SQL and as a project I have been asked to create the SQL for a simple database to record train details. I want to implement a check constraint which will prevent data from being inserted into a table if the weight of the train is more than the maximum towing weight of the locomotive. FOr instance, I need to add the unladen weight and maximum capacity of each wagon (located in the wagon type table) and compare it against the locomotive maximum pulling weight (the locomotive class table). I have the following SQL but it will not work:
check((select SUM(fwt.unladen_weight+fwt.maximum_payload) from
hauls as h,freight_wagon as fw,freight_wagon_type as fwt,train as t where
h.freight_wagon_serial_number = fw.freight_wagon_serial_number and
fw.freight_wagon_type = fwt.freight_wagon_type and
h.train_number = t.train_number) <
(select lc.maximum_towing_weight from locomotive_class as lc,locomotive as l,train as t where
lc.locomotive_class = l.locomotive_class and l.locomotive_serial_number = t.locomotive_serial_number))
The hauls table is where the constraint has been placed and is the intermediary table between train and freight wagon.
I may not have explained this very well; but in short, i need to compare the sum of two values in one table against a values located in another table...At present I keep getting a message telling me the sub query cannot return more than one row.
Getting Query Is Accept Null Values
Mar 18, 2008I am trying to have a query with the option for items to be null. (So users don't need to fill in the other fields if they choose not too) SELECT Tickets.TicketID, Tickets.UserID, Tickets.SystemID, Tickets.Title, Tickets.Description, Tickets.Software, Tickets.Date, Systems.OS, OS.OS AS OstitleFROM Tickets INNER JOIN Systems ON Tickets.SystemID = Systems.SystemID INNER JOIN OS ON Systems.OS = OS.osIDWHERE (Tickets.Title LIKE '%' + @title + '%') AND (Tickets.Software LIKE '%' + @software + '%') AND (Tickets.Description LIKE '%' + @descrip + '%') AND (Systems.OS = @osid) OR (@osid IS NULL)This works when i give the LIKE values % as a parameter. So they can choose to search by title + software but not description or description and nothing else etc etc etc. The problem is, the osid. If I give it a value it works but if i try to do null, *. or % it always displays every item in the databse ignoring any of the previous like statements. Anyone have an idea?

SQL Server 2012 :: Replace All Values In String With Values From Look Up Table
Mar 19, 2014I have a table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:
([Sales Units]*[AUR])
([Comp Sales Units]*[Comp AUR])
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
The new formulas need to look like the following:
([cSalesUnits]*[cAUR])
([cCompSalesUnits]*[cCompAUR])
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
DECLARE @Synonyms TABLE
(
UserFriendlyName VARCHAR(128)
, SystemNames VARCHAR(128)
)
INSERT INTO @Synonyms

Microsoft OLE DB Provider For IBM DB2 Does Not Accept Common Table Expressions
Oct 26, 2007
After reading all the comments about microsoft ole db provider for db2, I've started converting a project from ibm db2 provider to microsoft ole db provider, for the reason that the server would not need a ibm client software installation anylonger.
However in one of the dataflows there is a select statement on the DB2 database (AS400 iseries DB2 V5R4) that uses common table expression. The Oledb data source in the Dataflow returns zero input columns when I use the microsoft provider instead of the ibm provider. When I set it back to use the ibm oledb provider the input columns are available again.
The common table expression is used in the select statement like:
WITH x AS (SELECT ... FROM mytable WHERE ...)
SELECT x.*, (x.a - x.b) As diff
FROM x
We are not allowed to change anything in the DB2 database, so using views or sprocs is not an option.
Did anyone else experience this and can it be avoided without changing the selct logic?
Table-valued Function Does Not Accept Chinese Characters As Parameter
Nov 15, 2007I have a table-valued function in mssql 2005 as below:
ALTER FUNCTION fn_test{ @test nvarchar(1000)}RETURNS@TEMP TABLE{ test nvarchar(1000)}ASBEGIN INSERT INTO @TEMP SELECT @test
RETURNEND
Everytime, I passed in chinese character (@test), such as 測驗, the function will return ????. What should I do for the table-valued function, so that the chinese character can be passed in? Please help.
Note: I can search and get the chinese characters if I use stored procedures; and the columns in the tables can store chinese chararcters as well. Only table-valued function is not working with the chinese characters. Is it a bug from MSSQL 2005?

Let us say I ahve 3 email addresses, I want to check for all of them in a table and for eevery email address that is present I want to print something like "You email address is XXX" and if one of those 3 is not found my results should look like
"You email address is XXX"

SQL 2012 :: Store Attributes / Values In XML Column - Table Design
Oct 29, 2014I'd like to create a table that will store different order items. Several order items make up one single order. Order items can have 0 or more children (max depth will never be deeper than one). Order items can have up to 150 attributes/values. The way I think this should be done is using XML column instead of the EAV type of model. My table structure currently looks like this:
* child_order_item_id (PK)
* parent_order_item_id (FK to child_order_item_id)
* order_id (FK to Order table)
* product_id (FK to Product table)
* price
* attribute_XML
How my attribute_XML should look like or how to validate the xml.

SQL Server 2012 :: Update Table Based On Existing Values In Multiple Rows?
Oct 1, 2015The objective is to identify orders where an order fee has been applied incorrectly. I have multiple orders per customer, my table contains an orderID and a customerID. Currently if the customer places additional orders before the previous orders have been closed/cancelled, then additional fees are being applied.
Let's say I'm comparing order #1 to order #2. I need to identify these rows where the following is true:-
The CustID is the same.
Order #2 has a more recent order date.
Order #2 has a FeeDate Before the CancelledDate of Order #1 (or Order #1 has no cancellation date).
So in the table the orderID:2835692 of CustID: 24643 has a valid order fee. But all the subsequently placed orders have fees which were applied before the first order was cancelled and so I want to update the FeeInvalid column with a 'Y'. The first fee will always be valid.
I think I understand why the code I am trying doesn't achieve the result I want but I can't figure out how to write it correctly. Below is one example of code I've tried and also code to create the table and insert some test data.
update t1
SET FeeInvalid = 'Y'
FROM MockData t1 Join MockData t2 on t1.CustID = t2.CustID
WHERE t1.CustID = t2.CustID
AND t2.OrderDate > t1.OrderDate
AND t2.FeeDate > t1.CancelledDate

Find Out Which Values Are Throwing A Constraint
Apr 11, 2008I am trying to merge records with a stored procedure and I am getting a constraint violation error. Just wondering is there a way of finding out which records are the actual culprit?
This would help greatly in being able to troubleshoot this issue.
The error is this:
2/21/2008 12:40:39 PM :: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'SK_SomeConstraint'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'tblTable'.
The statement has been terminated.
The constraint is a group of clustered indexes that must be unique:
GO
/****** Object: Index [SK_SomeConstraint] Script Date: 04/11/2008 14:56:17 ******/
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblTable] ADD CONSTRAINT [SK_SomeConstraints] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED

Unique Constraint Does Not Permit Duplicate NULL Values
Oct 2, 2000After adding a Unique constraint to a database I cannot add more than one record with a null value for the constrained field. I've tried both adding the constraint to an empty table as well as a table with multiple null values already in the subject field; both efforts have failed.
According to BOL SQL-7 allows Unique Constraints on fields with Null values. Am I missing a step? I do need to allow nulls in the field yet ensure that when there is a non-null value it is unique.
The SQL statement I've used is: ALTER TABLE tbl_MasterUIC ADD CONSTRAINT uniquesamplenbr UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (samplenbr)
Thanks for any and all suggestions

SQL Server 2012 :: Rollover Prior Quarter Data To New Quarter In A Table - Output Identity Values
Jun 5, 2014I have a process to rollover prior quarter data to new quarter in a table.
For example, i have a table with (col1, col2, year, qtr) with data like ( Note: col1 is identity(1,1) )
1,'today',2014,1
2,'tomorrow,2014,1
3,'friday',2014,1
Now when i run my process, above 3 records will be rolled over new quarter 2014 Q2 and the table will be like
1,'today',2014,1
2,'tomorrow,2014,1
3,'friday',2014,1
4,'today',2014,2
5,'tomorrow,2014,2
6,'friday',2014,2
Row 1 with identity 1 has rolled over to new quarter row 4 with identity 4 ( qtr fields are changed )
Row 2 with identity 2 has rolled over to new quarter row 5 with identity 5. Same with last row as well.
Here, i have another table called "ident_map" with columns like (old identity, new identity ) and during rollover i am supposed to load ident_map table with old and new identity. So after rollover is complete, ident_map table should look like
1,4
2,5
3,6
I know using output clause I can capture the new identity values. 4,5,6 in this case. But is there any way to capture both old identity and new identity during rollover so that i can load the ident_map table with old and new identity.
