SQL 7: One Column's Value Is Repeated Throughout Entire Result Set
Jul 20, 2005
I'm using the following query to look in a log file and show some
statistics. It counts the total number of views and the total number
of unique users who have viewed a particular item (the "id" and
"title" fields are associated with the item).
SELECT title, COUNT(id) AS NumberViews, COUNT(DISTINCT UID) AS
NumberUniqueUsers, Type, id
FROM ActivityLog
WHERE dtTime >= 'Nov 1 2004 12:00AM' AND DtTime <= 'Nov 1 2005
12:00AM'
GROUP BY Title, Type, hdnId
ORDER BY TopViewed desc
This works fine on SQL Server 2000 (our development machine), but on
SQL Server 7 (our production machine), the title column has the same
value for every row. The other columns show the correct values.
If I remove the "ORDER BY" clause, then it works fine. If I remove
the "COUNT(DISTINCT UID)" column, it works fine. If I totally remove
the WHERE clause, it works fine.
Any ideas? It seems like a bug since it works fine on sql2k. I've
tried adding OPTION (MAXDOP 1) to the end of the query, but that
didn't help.
We're using SQL Server 7.0 sp1, and my boss doesn't want to risk
upgrading to sp4 because it might screw up all of our other
applications. I looked through all of the sp2 through sp4 bug fixes,
and I didn't see anything specifically mentioning this.

I am fully confident that you guys will help me out from this problem. Looking forward
I have a matrix report with one row group and one dynamic column group. My issue is that I want to see the column group to be appeared only on the first page of the report not on every next page, because I am going to finally export the report to Excel spreedsheet so I don't want the column to be repeated in the middle of the records.
I have a long TEXT column and it cuts off at a certain point in the Query Analyzer. I tried copying and pasting to notepad but it is still half the actual string. How do i get the whole TEXT string from a given column?
Hi, Could you tell me if this is possible? How do I return results using an entire column as part of the search parameter? I need to do this in the sql rather than selecting the contents and iterating through it as it would take too long.
eg. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tPopupKeywords]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [title] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [description] [nvarchar](2000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO dbo.tPopupKeywords(title, description) SELECT 'check', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'for', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'keywords', 'desc'
select dbo.tpopupkeywords.title where 'This is an example of a passed in string to check if any keywords are returned.' LIKE '% ' + dbo.tpopupkeywords.title + ' %' --Does this bit need to do a select??
I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.
I have 2 higher level column groupings of month name and year above my actual date groups. It looks a little weird aligning them left but there is no guarantee that centering them will even allow them to show until I've scrolled right to the middle of the cell width that they occupy.
Is there a feature that comes with, or a well known trick for making them center in the area that is being viewed instead of the potentially very wide cell that they occupy?
Hello,I am trying to follow along with the Data Access tutorial under the the "Learn->Videos" section of this website, however I am running into an error when I try to use the "Edit -> Update" function of the Details View form: I'll post the error below. Any clues on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!! ~DerrickColumn name 'Assigned_To' appears more than once in the result column list. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Column name 'Assigned_To' appears more than once in the result column list.Source Error: Line 1444: } Line 1445: try { Line 1446: int returnValue = this.Adapter.UpdateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); Line 1447: return returnValue; Line 1448: }
The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).
The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example: SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable' EXEC(@strSQL)
Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.
I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?
I am importing some data from Excel. I have to SUM one of the columns, and then use the result of the sum to calculate the percentages of each row. How can I use the Aggregate to give me a total of a column, so that i can use the total in another task and use formulas to calculate the percentages? i have tried to use multicast and join, but I get an extra row with the sum, which is not what I want; I want to use the sum for all the data.
I am trying to display component usage in January for the past year, if I want to display the year in different column, what should I do? eg. component_id component_description qty_used_on_2005_Jan qty_used_on_2006_Jan C58B0BDD tape drive 2 3 Currently I am using this sql: select cast(year(date_complete) as varchar(10)) + ' Jan' as Year, component_id, component_description,sum(component_qty) as total_qty_used from view_jobComponent where month(date_complete) = 1group by component_id, component_description, cast(year(date_complete) as varchar(10)) + ' Jan'order by component_id, component_description which I will get something like this: Year component_id component_description total_qty_used 2005 Jan C58B0BDD tape drive 22006 Jan C58B0BDD tape drive 3
How can I make this stored procedure concept work:
----------------------------------------------- Create Procedure MyProc @MyValue varchar(5) As Declare @ColumnName as varchar(11) Set @ColumnName = 'Price_' + @MyValue Select Sum(Price) As @ColumnName --???? From MyTable where Item = @MyValue Return -----------------------------------------------
Using @MyValue = 23 should make the Sum(Price) column name 'Price_23'. It's not working. What am I doing wrong?
Is there a way to ignore a column/variable when the whole result set for the applied filter (where) is null?
Not all clients have data for every variable, i.e. some variables are client specific. There are too many variables and clients to amend the select query every time so I just want to ignore a col if its null.
I hope that makes sense (my inability to describe it might explain my inability to find anything related to it!)
The next step would be to run all clients' data in one go using, I believe, a cursor, but one step at a time!
I have a clustered index in a table. this column is of datatype date. how can i retrieve the following?:
select [date], valueColumn from myTable where [date] = '2000-01-03' and ('2000-01-03'+1) and ('2000-01-03'+2)
My Goal ist to retrieve 3 values of valueColumn of 3 subsequent days, calculate the average of this 3 values and insert this average in a third colum called [average3days].
I have a query where one or more of the columns returned is a resultfrom a subquery. These columns get their own alias. I want to filterout the rows containing NULL from the subqueries but it just won'twork. When running columnAlias IS NOT NULL i just get the error"Invalid column name 'columnAlias'.This is the query:SELECT k.UserId, k.Lastname, k.Firstname,(SELECT kscr.answer FROM Results kscr WHERE kscr.UserID =k.UserID) AS myColumnAliasFROM Users kWHERE myColumnAlias IS NOT NULL)When running without the WHERE clause, I get the following results:UserId Lastname Firstname myColumnAlias113 Norman Ola jepps820 Karlsen Kjell830 Pens Jens juubidooWhat I want is to get rid of UserId=820. What am I doing wrong?

I have a column that returns client numbers. The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length. A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization. In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number. EG: client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number or Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number. I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns. Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second. Is it possible to do this? I really need help on this one. Thank you :)
I have a query that returns a list of results from the database and insert the results into a datatable. Is there any way to add a column to the query result that has autonumbers in it. for example the first record would have 1 the next 2, the next 3, and so on?
Ihave 2 tables...they are basically the same except for the column name in one of them because they deal with 2 different names, though..the data i want is in columns that have the same name.pretty much what i want to do...is .they also need to be distinct so i dont count duplicates...i can get them as separate tables...but i cant get them together..I need them in 1 column because of how it is sent to the C3 code page and how it reads it...the structure has already been previously set..and there are about 5 other statments that are being executed in this one stored procedure like this (also i wasnt the one who set this up).
image 1 is what is currently set up imgur: the simple image sharer top part is what is stored in tables..bottom is more of the result it basically runs this code to get the bottom
DECLARE @id INT; DECLARE @invest nvarchar(50); SET @id = '7633'; SET @invest = ''; SELECT 'a' + CONVERT(nvarchar, orderfindings.risk_rating) AS cat, COUNT(DISTINCT orderfindings.prnt_id) AS stat FROM orderheader, orderaudits, orderfindings WHERE orderheader.id = orderaudits.orderheader_id AND orderaudits.ID = orderfindings.prnt_id AND orderheader.id = @id AND orderfindings.risk_rating > 0 AND orderaudits.Investor_Name LIKE '%' + @invest + '%' GROUP BY orderfindings.risk_rating
If i want agencies instead of findings..just replace it..agencies and findings are the 2 tables..they are the pretty much identical column wise...but i want the result together..i've tried several ways..but i cant seem to get it.
image 2 - the table at the bottom is more what i'm looking for..it combines them both into 1 imgur: the simple image sharer
if an order has a finding or agency or both in it..then it gets marked as a 1 for that risk rating...if it doesnt..then 0 for that risk rating..and then sum them all up to see what i got..
I've been working with it...did this [SQL] compare2 - Pastebin.com ..got it to display 2 columns..but still not the right result...i'm getting a1 = 1...a2 = 1...so its not running through all the orders...or it needs a way to count it...i put a sum at beginning of case statement..erro because of counts...so i took counts out...

In SQL 2005 - when I display the results of a View and Copy all rows and columns, the resulting Paste in Excel does not include the column names.
How can I set SQL 2005 so the names of the columns will come along with the content of the copy function?
Background:
When I am using a SQL Query (instead of a view) I have the 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.
