I have some sql and i expect a row back with some information even if there is nothing. What i want to happen is when it returns an empty row then give me a 0 so at least i get something back I am filling a dataset here and it isnt populating the fields when an empty row is returned.
SELECT 3 row_id,
'2003' year,
'Mar' period,
(SELECT count(*) FROM news WHERE news.id IN (
SELECT news.id
FROM news
WHERE news.announced_date >= '2003-03-01' AND ........
So ive tried variations of the below in a CASE statement WHEN NUll or WHEN 0 but i still get nothing back. I would like the information to return 3 2003 Mar 0 if its empty.
SELECT 3 row_id,
'2003' year,
'Mar' period,
(SELECT CASE count(*) WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE count(*) END FROM news WHERE news.id IN (
SELECT news.id
FROM news
WHERE news.announced_date >= '2003-03-01' AND ............
Hi, I can't seem to get this where clause to function as I wish.. must besomething simple but I can't see it!have triedac.coursename like CASE @course WHEN null THEN '%' ELSE '%' + @course + '%'ac.coursename like CASE @course WHEN '' THEN '%' ELSE '%' + @course + '%'ac.coursename like CASE len(@course) WHEN 0 THEN '%' ELSE '%' + @course +'%'All work fine when I enter something in the parameter, but not when I leaveit blank! Any ideas why this is the ...case?Cheers!Chris
I want to return a list of user tables from a database where the rowcount is 0. This will be a 3 step process: (1) truncate all 'New%' tables, (2) load data via ODBC/DTS into 'New%' tables, (3) list all 'New%' tables with zero rows (i.e. those that didn't get loaded, as all tables in the ODBC data source contain data).
I've tried: select left(s2.name,32) as TableName, max(s1.rows) as Records from sysindexes s1 inner join sysobjects s2 on s1.id=s2.id where type = 'U' and s2.name like 'New%' group by s2.name HAVING max(rows) = 0 ORDER BY TableName but of course there are multiple rows in sysindexes and the routine does not reliably return the correct list; for example the data in sysobjects & sysindexes, without the max and group by, might look like: TableNameRows NewARTxn0 NewARTxn1214800 NewARTxn1214800 NewARTxn1214800 NewARTxn1214800 NewARTxn1214800 NewARTxn1214800 I was hoping to come up with a single T-SQL statement that I could use in an xp_sendmail situation to email me the results.
MS SQL server 2000 behavies strange with big queries that involves relatively large number of tables: If I just enumerate columns I want to receive, the result set is empty. Adding * to the column list without making any change to where clause seems to solve the problem but I guess it's not the best practice. The most amazing is that this behavior is not stable, so I suppose there's something to deal with server itself, not the application. Has anybody suffered this problem and what solution was adopted? Thanks for any information you can provide.
I have a query that returns contacts connected to a client, but the problem is that it's only returning a result when a contact is associated with a client, even if the client does exist in the db. i want it to still return the client if the client exists.
SELECT * FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.clientid AND (clients.clientname LIKE '" . strtoupper($_GET['txtfname'])."%')
I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END, shipment_status_text = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 'Condition 1 text' WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 'Condition 2 text' WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 'Condition 3 text' WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 'Condition 4 text' ELSE 'Error' END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block ...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.

I have managed to use the BI Wizard for time intelligence and added YTD and MTD successfully. I notice the values returned are empty, and I think this is due to the fact that all the test data I use is many years old. What's the simplest way to resolve this issue so that I can see that these MDX functions return correct values? Changing the system date on this company laptop is not an option.
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END
Hello friends, I want to use select statement in a CASE inside procedure. can I do it? of yes then how can i do it ?
following part of the procedure clears my requirement.
SELECT E.EmployeeID, CASE E.EmployeeType WHEN 1 THEN select * from Tbl1 WHEN 2 THEN select * from Tbl2 WHEN 3 THEN select * from Tbl3 END FROM EMPLOYEE E
can any one help me in this? please give me a sample query.
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.

Hi I have some question regarding the sql case statment.Can i use the case statement with the where clause.Example: SELECT FirstName, IDFROM myTablewhere case when ID= '123' then id = '123' and id='124' endorder by idBut the above code does not work.
Hi all, I was wondering if there is any way in an sql statement to check whether the data your trying to get out of the DB is of a particular type, ie. Int, char etc. I was thinking about a case statement such as <code> CASE WHEN (MyNum <> INT) then 0 end AS MyNum </code>
This has to be included in the sql statement cause I need this field to get other data. Any thoughts on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
If I’m in the wrong thread section please advise of best one to get help in.
Hi !!!i hope one of the sql specialists answer me about the best and most effeceint way to acheive what i am looking for Scenario:-------------i have a 3 tables related to each other Addresses, Groups and GroupAddressthe relation is for both addresses and groups is one to many in the GroupAddress.the behaviour in the application : user can add addresses to his address list and from the address list a user can add an address to many groups like if you have Group name "Freinds" and you add me in it and you have Football team group and you add me to it like that !!!not i have another function called "copy group"in the GroupAddress i have this data as example GroupID AddressID1 41 61 21 441 72 82 62 93 133 73 10and the group ID called "Freinds"i want to copy the group so i can have another group that has the same addresses by one click rather than collectiong them again one by one ...by the way the new copy will have a new group name ( as this is thebusiness logic so user can not have dupicate group name )so what is the best SQL statement that i need to copy the group ???i hope that clear enough!
I am trying determine if I can do something like the code below. I have done a left join on a table. In the select statement there are three possible values. Yes, No, or NULL. I could like to use a Case statement to determine if there is Null. If so, then output N/A in place of the Null. So then my possible valus are Yes, No, and N/A.
Any clues?
Thanks, John

Results
Site Avg Score For A 1 i get 8.5 2 i get 37.75 3 i get 36.57 Why am I getting a difference? Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you

Im running the following sql statement but I dont see the expected output. There are few differences between acc & cl1, mcc & cl2 , ncr & cl3 but I dont see either 'ONE' or 'TWO' or 'THREE'. There is even a case where cl3 is null but the sql is not filling in either one or two or three. Query simply returns id & rest as null values.
SELECT P1.id, CASE WHEN p1.acc!= p1.cl1 then 'ONE' WHEN p1.mcc!= p1.cl2 then 'TWO' when p1.ncr!= p1.cl3 then 'THREE' Else NULL END As NOnMatchingColumn from (select id, acc, cl1,mcc,cl2,ncr,cl3 from dbo.ml)P1
I'm not sure if I am doing this the right way. In my table I have project ids. Each project id has several activities associated with it. Each project has a starting balance. Each activity posts an expense to the total balance of the project. If the project has enough money to handle the charges made by the activities, all the activity expenses can be "posted". If there isn't enough money, I want to loop through the activities, check to see if there is enough of a balance to "post" the first one, If there is, then I want to re-adjust the balance and check the second activity. I want to scroll through each project/activity to see what can be "posted". Here is what I have so far, but I cannot work out how to change the total balance amount. Hopefully what I am trying to do makes sense!
declare @testId nchar(6) declare @RowNum int declare @newBalance int select top 1 @testId=projID from #ProjIds set @RowNum = 0
WHILE @RowNum <= (Select Max(temp_id) from #ProjIds) BEGIN set @RowNum = @RowNum + 1 set @newBalance = (select top 1 Bal_2300 from #RevRecData where @testId=projId order by projID, activity)
select projId, activity, postCr, Bal_2300, 'New_Status' = Case when (postCr <= Bal_2300) then 'Can Clear' else 'Still Check' END, 'New_Balance' = Case when (postCr <= @newBalance) then (@newBalance - postCr) else @newBalance End from #RevRecData where @testId=projId order by projID, activity
select top 1 @testId=projId from #ProjIds where projId > @testID END
