Say I have a query like
DECLARE @ID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, @SOMEDATE DATE
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE ID = @ID AND DATEFIELD=@SOMEDATE
I want to pass values to @ID and @SOMEDATE, such that it meets the WHERE criteria for all values in the respective fields.
What parameter value should I pass such that all values are selected? In the actual SP, I have uniqueidentifier, varchar and date parameters.
I am very new to sql programming. I have a database with 15 columns. At this moment I do this to get all rows containing the year 2013:
WHERE DATEPART (yyyy, DownloadDate) = 2013 .
But I also want to add a criteria so that I can have all rows where DownloadDate contains 2013 AND WHERE IsRead(BIT) contains NULL. I tried this:
WHERE DATEPART(yyyy, DownloadDate) = 2013 AND IsRead = null .
But this gave me nothing!
I have four criterias in my .aspx page. They are "First Name, Last Name, Title, Year". I have a Book and an Author table. The Author table would contain all the author's information and the Book table contains all the books information such as title, publisher, subject, and so on. So here's what I'm trying to do.
I want to write a transaction statement that will query the four criterias above if the criteria textbox is not black. So for example, when the user click the submit button, all the four criteria fields are filled except Year. That means the query would search the Author and Book tables for "First Name, Last Name, Title" but not "Year" for any potential matches. I also wanted to use "Like" instead of "=" for a wider search.
Actually I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept those four criterias and search the tables based on those criterias.
Any help is appreciated.
i am working for a Library Project. in that project i want to search Book by putting book content. in book content there could be single quatation
e.g William's. when ever i put single quatation my string type is terminated and my query is not executed successfully.
select Book_ID,Title,Auther from book_details where Contents like '%xyz%'
here xyz is my object name.
if i put William's in xyz it does not work.
plz tell me how to solve this problem.

dear friend,
the problem i am finding is moreover a concatenation problem
what i did is that have stored procedure which is accepting any character and i have to show all the records where this character is existing
it is like this only
********************************
name1 like '% @str %'
but then it is not treating the str as a variable and treating it as a string so if you have any solution please let me know early
please give the answer with example
waiting for reply

I am working on SQL Server in VB 2008. I have a table 'Records' having 8 columns. I have a search page where I can choose 5 different parameters to search as 'Category' , 'Name' , 'Date' etc.
I can successfully search with a single criteria selected either Category Name Or Date. But I want to create a single SQL command that can search my 'Records' table for either two or all the parameters depending on the selections made by the user.
I am trying to set up a query that will allow the user to input a string, and the search will match ANY word in that string. Currently, I have it configured so that the search will only match the exact string that the user inputs. I have google searched for the answer, but no luck yet. Any ideas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy selection criteria is as follows:
where content like '%EditLiveJava%'
or content like '% Sys__%' ESCAPE '_'
or content like '%<div class="row"/>%'
or content like '%<a href="" title=""%'
or content like '%cmsprod%'
or content like '%Error processing inline link%'
or content like '%see log for stack trace%'
I output the content field if the search is true but would like to also output which specific 'like' has been found.
Can I do this in the one pass or do I have to read the database separately for each condition?
I have a store procedure that search by Firstname and Lastname. I want it search by either both (Firstname and Lastname) or any of them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out why I am not getting any result set back from a search that includes non-alphanumeric
or non-printable characters. For instance, if I have a table with a 20 character name column with names with
beginning ranges from A-Z, why doesn't the following return any rows:
select * from table where name < CHAR(126).
In the ASCII character set, 126 is a tilde (~) which is numerically above the alphanumeric ranges 1-9,a-z, and
A-Z. Shouldn't all records that sort lower in the character range be included in the result set ?
I'm assuming this has something to do with the default collation sequence being used which somehow does
not include characters outside the alphanumeric range. Any ideas ?
Say I want to search for a range of account numbers but only which are active. After I set my field for A (active) this field shows in my results, I dont want it to.
In Access you can easily just uncheck that field in design view, but how do I do it in sql?

Hello All,
I was hoping that someone had some wise words of wisdom/experience on this. Any assistance appreciated... feel free to direct me to a more efficient way... but I'd prefer to keep using a stored proc.
I'm trying to pass the selected value of a dropdownlist as a stored procedure parameter but keep running into format conversion errors but I am able to test the query successfully in the SQLDatasource. What I would like to do is this: select * from tblPerson where lastnames Like "A%" . Where I pass the criteria after Like. I have the values of the drop down list as "%", "A%", "B%", ....
I've been successfully configuring all of the other params, which includes another dropdown list (values bound to a lookup table also)... but am stuck on the above...
Thank you for any assistance,
I have a report with a date type parameter. Depending on the value return by this date type parameter the dataset will return either the credit, deposit or process date. How do I go about coding it so that it will dynamically select the right column in my query for my dataset?
Sincerely appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.
I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)
I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.
I am stuck with a query that I am working on. I have data like below.
DECLARE @Input TABLE
(
OrderID INT,
AccountID INT,
StatusID INT,
Value INT
)
INSERT INTO @Input VALUES (1,1,1,15), (2,1,1,20), (3,2,1,5), (4,2,2,40), (5,3,1,20), (6,1,2,40), (7,1,2,40)
If an Account's value reaches 20 for StatusID = 1 and 40 for StatusID = 2, that is a called "Good". I want to find out which order made the Account become "Good".
By looking at the data, it is understandble that AccountID 1 crossed Status ID 1's limit of 20 with order 2, but the status ID 2's limit was only crossed after the 6th order was placed. So my output should show 6 for AccountID 1.
For AccountID 2, value of statusID 1 was 5 with orderid 3, but it reached the limit for status id 2 of 40 with order 4. But the first condition was not met. so it shouldn't be seen in the output.
Same with AccountID 3 as well, It reached the limit of status id 1 with order 5 but the limit for order 2 wasn't reached so it should be ignored as well.
I wrote the code as below, its working fine but I still know there are better ways to write since I will be working with atleast a million records.
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT OrderID,AccountID, StatusID, SUM(Value) OVER(Partition By AccountID, StatusID ORDER BY OrderID) AS RunningTotal
FROM @Input

I have a data output with many rows. In order to group things with flags, I do this in excel using 2 formulas which *** a flag of 0 or 1 in 2 new columns.
This takes a long long time as I have hundreds of thousands of rows and wondered of I could do it in sql?
Its transact SQL and the formulas I use in excel are:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A2=A2)*($B$2:$B2=B2)*($C$2:$C2>=C2-1/24)*($C$2:$C2< C2+1/24))> 1,0,1)
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A2=A2)*($B$2:$B2=B2))>1,0,1)
How I can do this in sql??
The columns above do not relate to the actual columns I use, just an example.
I have a dataset where i want to select the records that matches my input values. But i only want to try macthing a field in my dataset aginst the input value, if the dataset value is not NULL.
I always submit all 4 input values.
@Tyreid, @CarId,@RegionId,@CarAgeGroup
So for the first record in the dataset i get a succesfull output if my input values matches RegionId and CarAgeGroup.
I cant figure out how to create the SQl script for this SELECT?
My dataset

I am trying to write a query that gives me the personal records from speed skaters on e.g. the 500 mtrs. I do this with the query:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, min(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
FROM tb....... INNER JOIN etc..
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
In itself this works fine. However, there are complicating factors. Sometimes a speed skater has multiple PRs, meaning the he/she has the same fastest time more than once.
If these times are achieved on multple days, the 1st date is the official PR. (meaning: "Min of racedate")
If they are raced on the same day the 1st race is the PR (meaning: "Min of distancenumber")
Changing the code to:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, MIN(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
, MIN(cdsStartDate) AS RaceDate
, MIN(cdsDistanceNumber) AS DistanceNumber
FROM tb.......
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
This gives me the wrong outcome because it gives me the "MIN" of every field, and they are not necessarily on the same row.
An option would be to calculate min(crtFinalTime), if for a person there is more than 1 result, calculate min of date, and then (if there is still more than 1 row) min of distancenumber.
Seems complicated, and I have the feeling there must be a better way (apart from: how to get this code)
Stacking subqueries in the FROM statement seems like a option be costly (time wise). There are more than 10 million rows (and growing) to run through.
As an example a few times:
DistanceFirst nameLast name Time Date Distance nr.
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311155
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311153
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311172
Yuya has 3 best times (34.49), 15-11-2013 is the 1st date, then distance nr 3 is the 1st distance raced. Therefore the 2nd row is the only row I would like to get in my endresult.
I am working on a project that was assigned to me that has to do with data in one of our SQL databases. I have the following query that takes information from a single table and averages test scores for each student.
--Group all scores from same student and average them together
with cte_names as
(
SELECT StudentID, MAX(StudentName) AS StudentName
FROM LDCScores
WHERE schoolYear='2014-2015' AND term = 3
GROUP BY StudentID
[code].....
I now need to take the results from the above query and determine the percentage of students, per school that scored a 2 or greater in grade 7 for each test. For grade 8 scored a 2.5 or greater, grade 9 scored a 3 or greater, grade 10 scored a 3 or greater, grade 11 scored a 3.5 or greater, and grade 12 scored a 3.5 or greater.
I have an ordering database with several tables that store data of orders belonging to a wide variety of clients. There is a generic report that I need to run which outputs the same data elements. However the criteria to select these orders will vary widely between each client. For e.g.
i) for client# 1 it could be all orders that are still open after 30 days of placing an order
(
OrderStatus = 'Open'
AND
GetDate() - OrderCreationDate >= 30
)
ii) for client# 2 it could be all orders that have been completed 60 days or earlier
(
OrderStatus = 'Completed'
AND
GetDate() - OrderCompletedDate >= 60
)
iii) for client# 3 it could be a combination of different things (all orders in West Region that are in hold status for more than 10 days + all orders in Eastern Region that are in shipping and are expected to be delivered in the next 2 days + all completed orders for the rest of the regions).
(
OrderRegion = 'West'
AND
OrderStatus = 'Hold'
AND
GetDate() - OrderHoldDate >= 10

I want to have a stored procedure that selects all data and dynamically attach the where condition at the end for filtering. This way I wouldn't have to worry about any additions/changes that are made to the selection criteria. I can build an interface for admins who can use the UI to maintain the selection criteria and not worry about any code changes to accommodate it. I would like to design a table that holds this criteria. At this point in time, I am thinking of using key value pairs (Column Name, Column Value) but I am not sure how to implement multiple logical operators.
I am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.
Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.
So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
Test Denise 3 3
Here is the query as it stands now without the inclusion of the spreadsheet:
SELECT
ta.last_name,
ta.first_name,
tb.ID,
tb.code
FROM
TableA ta
INNER JOIN TableB tb
[code]....
I need to calculate the last two columns (noofgrp and grpsize) No of Groups (count of Clientid) and Group Size (number of clients in each group) according to begtim and endtime. So I tried the following in the first Temp table
GrpSize= count(clientid) over (partition by begtime,endtime) else 0 end
and in the second Temp Table, I have
select
,GrpSize=sum(grpsize)
,NoofGrp=count(distinct grpsize)
From Temp1
The issue is for the date of 5/26, the begtime and endtime are not consistent. in Grp1 (group 1) all clients starts the session at 1030 and ends at 1200 (90 minutes session) except one who starts at 11 and end at 1200 (row 8). For this client since his/her endtime is the same as others, I want that client to be in the first group(Grp1). Reverse is true for the second group (Grp2). All clients begtime is 12:30 and endtime is 1400 but clientid=2 (row 9) who begtime =1230 but endtime = 1300. However, since this client begtime is the same as the rest, I wan that client to be in the second group (grp2) My partition over creates 4 groups rather than two.
For example, consider the following queries:
DECLARE @SomeParam INT
SET @SomeParam = 44
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID
WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
Thanks.

Hello guys I hope everyone is doing well I have a question. I have a database thats an ADP. on one of the forms I have a command button that has a stored procedure in it that will allow them to search by TM# or name or whatever, (I have the code below) I would like them to be able to do the samething but by date rather then TM# or Name, how would I go about doing that with a datetime datatype??
thank you

FROM dbo.PhotoDir
WHERE CONTAINS (*, 'Jones')
ORDER BY Last_Name, First_Name
However, I would like to replace "Jones" with a parameter, @LName for example. However, I can't figure out the syntax. I tried the following:
WHERE CONTAINS (*, @LName)
but received the following error:
The @LName SQL construct or statement is not supported.
Is there a way to put a parameter in this type of query?

- (PRDescription, @wordlist)
but I get an error checking the syntax. I've tried all sorts of combinations of ' and ".
I have an issue trying to pass a search text parameter to FREETEXTTABLE via Dataset.
The following code works fine if you hardcode the search word/text as shown:
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK, FT_TBL.FaqQuestion, FT_TBL.FaqAnswer, FT_TBL.SearchFROM faq_table AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(faq_table, Search, 'cool') AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.FaqID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
Now, I want to do this:
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK, FT_TBL.FaqQuestion, FT_TBL.FaqAnswer, FT_TBL.SearchFROM faq_table AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(faq_table, Search, @Search) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.FaqID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
The error I'm getting is @Search is not declared. How am I suppose to pass in a value?
I have searched almost everywhere and nobody seemed to ask this precise question. I'm sure this is a huge problem.
Can anyone help me please?
Hi guys, first post here. It's been a few years since I've worked with ODBC, so I'm a bit rusty. I'm having trouble figuring out how to use a char* string as a parameter for a SELECT statement. I'm trying to compare the contents of a varchar column (with size=20) against the string.
Here's the code that I'm using:
char* arg;
SQLINTEGER stringSize = 32;
retcode = SQLBindParameter(hstmt,
1,
SQL_PARAM_INPUT,
SQL_C_CHAR,
SQL_VARCHAR,
20,
0,
arg,
stringSize,
&stringSize);
retcode = SQLPrepare(hstmt,
(SQLCHAR*) "SELECT * "
"FROM myTable "
"WHERE (stringColumn = '?')",
SQL_NTS);
retcode = SQLExecute(hstmt);
retcode = SQLFetch(hstmt);
When SQLFetch() runs, it returns 100 (SQL_NO_DATA). If I type the query manually into my Enterprise Manager console, I get several results, so I know the query is correct. Any idea what I might be doing wrong with the ODBC calls?
Thanks!
