SQL Query - Find Block Of Sequential Numbers
Jul 20, 2005
I have a database that is pre-populated with sequential part numbers.
As people reserve the parts I update a flag to show the # is no longer
available. Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"
number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.
If my database had the following numbers available:
101
104
105
110
111
112
113
114
It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update query
to change the flags to 1 (checked out).
I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - have
not been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with the
following:
SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)
FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL N
WHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 AND
FLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}
The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111
I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and get
errors, probably incorrect syntax. Can I do this in an SQL statement?

I have a query which returns information about transactions similar to this:
Select account, trans_code, quantity
from ledger_table
This returns something like:
acct trans_code quantity
----- ---------- ------------
2 2 1000
2 3 500
2 3 300
3 2 100
3 2 500
etc.
What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:
acct trans_code quantity lot
----- ---------- ------------ ---
2 2 1000 1
2 3 500 1
2 3 300 2
3 2 100 1
3 2 500 2
3 3 1000 3
3 5 200 1
etc.
The lot number is reset for each grouping.
Does anyone have a way to do this outside of a cursor or temp table?
TIA, any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me offhand the simplest/most elegant way of updating an integer column to a sequential column of numbers with a query?
e.g given
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
2 | Descvalue2| 4.33
3 | Descvalue3| 4.34
8 | Descvalue8| 4.35
change it to:
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
1 | Descvalue2| 4.33
2 | Descvalue3| 4.34
3 | Descvalue8| 4.35
I think it might need a stored proc..
Many Thanks
greg

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

I am trying to automatically insert records into my existing customer table. Is there a way when I insert these new records and assign the customer number that it can sequentially pick the next available unique customer number for each record that is inserted? for example the first record would be customer number 100, the next 101, and so on? Please advise.

I have a column within a table which is already truncated/deleted all records within (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have to now populate the column with sequential numbers up to 50,000 records arbitrary numbers (doesn't mater) up to 7 characters.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly empty table with A000001,A0000002,A0000003, or any form for that matter etc so that I can sort number the records within the table.
I have approximately 50000 records which I need to sequentially entered and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.

Here is my problem. I have a table with 4 columns id1,id2,id3,boxnum. Here is some sample data.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1
1 1 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
2 2 2
2 3 4
What I need is to be able to update boxnum with sequential numbers based on the unique set of values from the id columns. So my output would be this.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 2
1 2 1 1
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 3
2 2 2 1

Let's say I have the following table:entry product quality1 A 802 A 703 A 804 B 605 B 906 C 807 D 808 A 509 C 70I'm looking for a way to find the average "quality" value for aSEQUENTIAL GROUPING of the same Product. For exmple, I need anaverage of Entry 1+2+3 (because this is the first grouping of the sameproduct type), but NOT want that average to include row 8 (which isalso Product A, but in a different "group".)I'm sure it can be done (because I can describe it!), but I'll be amonkey's uncle if I can figure out how. I would imagine it wouldinvolve some sort of running tally that references the next record asit goes... to see if the product type has changed. Perhaps use of atemporary table?Muchas gracias!!Cy.

I have the following stored procedure to test scope of variables
alter proc updatePrereq
@pcntr int,
@pmax int
as
begin
[Code] ....
In the above script @i is declare in the if block only when the @pcntr value is 1. Assume the above stored procedure is called 5 times from this script
declare @z int
set @z = 1
declare @max int
set @max = 5
while @z <= @max
begin
exec dbo.updatePrereq @z, @max
set @z = @z + 1
end
go
As i said earlier `@i` variable exists only when `@pcntr` is `1`. Therefore when i call the stored procedure for the second time and so forth the control cannot enter the if block therefore @i variable wouldn't even exist. But the script prints the value in `@i` in each iteration, How comes this is possible should it throw an error saying `@i` variable does not exist when `@pcntr` values is greater than `1`?

I have a string and i want to get only the numbers from right.
For example if I have the string Like '123756zxfggr123456' then it will show me only 123456 or if i have the string like
'4vbz67xfggr123dfd' then it will show me only 123 or if i have the string like '123756zxfgg43r5' then it will show me only 5.
I got a function where it gives me all the numbers in a string but I don't need that
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256))
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intAlpha INT
[Code] ....
If I ran the select statement it gives me the result 111123456 but i want only 123456 or if i select
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric('111zxfggr6587fhhfkwee') AS 'Num' it will show me 6587.

I have a separate list of calendar years with radiocarbon year equivalents in SQL server but no conversion equation. Most but not all of the data I have is in radiocarbon years. I thought at first I could just link the tables but I don't want the data that is already in calendar years to be linked to this conversion table. Is there any way I can either link the two tables with criteria for which data is linked (Only ages that are in radiocarbon years). Or possibly a way to query all ages that are in radiocarbon years and do something similar to a find and replace with a large list of numbers to change?

Hello everyone,
I have a stored procedure that supplies rows for a front-end DataGrid that allows custom paging. The stored procedure must return the requested "page" of rows as identified by a sproc argument. Currently, I'm loading the the query's result set into a temporary table that has an identity column as primary key. I then run a second query against the temp table that uses the identity column value to strip out the requested "page" of rows and return them to the front-end DataGrid.
I'd like to eliminate the temporary table. To do so I would need to create the equivalent of an identity column in the query's sorted results and reference this value in the WHERE clause in order to return only the requested rows.
Does anyone know of a way to generate a sequential number (starting at 1) within a query (and after the rows have been sorted by the ORDER BY)? I don't think this can be done but I put it out for those who may know better.
Thanks for your help. If you know this is impossible, that would be helpful feedback as well.

I wanted to know the best way to achieve the following results. I have a table that I need output sequential range of vouchers in a table. For instance I have the following data in a column called vouchers. The output will consist of a years worth of vouchers, so voucher numbers may contain gaps and so the need to have a sequential range that has a From and To output. The query needs to know the min and max within that numerical range and then output the next min and max range until it gets to the end.
The data looks like:
ABCD-001869202
ABCD-001869203
ABCD-001869204
ABCD-001869205
ABCD-001869209
ABCD-0018692010
ABCD-0018692011
ABCD-001869309
ABCD-001869310
ABCD-001869311
ABCD-001869312
ABCD-001869313
ABCD-001869314
Desired out put:
From To
ABCD-001869202 ABCD-001869205
ABCD-001869209 ABCD-0018692011
ABCD-001869309 ABCD-001869314
I have tried the following, but it does not quite do what I need it to do, so not sure if I am taking the right approach:
SELECT voucher vouchers,right(voucher, charindex('-', voucher) + 3) voucher
INTO #tempVoucher
FROM LEDGERJOURNALTRANS
where TRANSDATE between '10/1/2013' and '7/31/2014' and VOUCHER like 'APIN%'

Hello!
Got a problem I hope some clever people can help me out with..
I have a web form that displays a set of records in a grid. The grid is "paged" according to a PageNum column, with a dropdown box to change pages and buttons allowing the items to be moved up or down a list within a page or moved between pages. So the backend table (simplified) looks something like this
PageNum ItemNum ItemDescription
----------- ----------- -------------------
1 1 aaaaaaa
1 2 bbbbbbb
1 3 cccccccc
2 1 ddddddd
2 2 eeeeeee
2 3 ffffffffffff
3 1 ggggggg
3 2 hhhhhhh
3 3 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The problem is when I want to delete a page - I need the page numbers to automatically resequence themselves, so for example, If I delete "Page 2" (i.e. delete rows where PageNum = 2), all items on "Page 3" become "Page 2" (and any items on "Page 4" become "Page 3" etc).
This has proved straightforward to when deleting an item from a particular page, and can resequence ItemNum thanks to a clever bit of code found on SQLteam.com:
DECLARE @intCounter int
SET @intCounter = 0
UPDATE <Item Table>
@intCounter = ItemNum = @intCounter + 1
WHERE Pagenumber = <Currently Selected Page>
However I haven't been able to adapt this to resequence the Page number, as this involves resequencing blocks of numbers. The closest I can get is:
DECLARE @intCounter int
SET @intCounter = 1
UPDATE <Itemtable>
SET @intCounter = PageNum = CASE
WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 1 THEN @intCounter + 1
WHEN @intCounter = PageNum - 2 THEN @intCounter + 1
ELSE @intCounter
END
But this doesn't quite work.
Anyone got any other ideas??
Thanks

Sorry for the akward title, not sure how to say this. I have a Person table and a addresses table. Each person may have many address records as shown below:
Person
-----------
PersonID | AutoNum
fName | varchar
lName | varchar
...etc
Addresses
---------------
addressID | AutoNum
personID | int (FK)
address1 | varchar
city | varchar
state | varchar
isPrimary | bit
...etc
What I'm trying to do is select all from Person and the city and state of each person's primary address. A little voice keeps saying subquery...but I can't figure it out. So far I have the SQL below, but if there is no address or no address where isPrimary = 1, it fails to return the person record. I need the person record regardless of if they have a primary address. Does that make sense?
Doesn't return all Person records:
SELECT Person.*, Address.City, Address.State
FROM Person LEFT OUTER JOIN Address
ON Person.PersonID = Address.PersonID
WHERE (Address.isPrimary= 1)
ORDER BY Person.lName, Person.fName

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I used this with an access DB and would like to re-write it to work with
sql.
sql = "SELECT funds.itemdisc, Sum(IIf(funds.status='Credit'"
sql = sql & ",CDbl(funds.fundamount),0,)) AS income, Sum(IIf funds.status='Debt'"
sql = sql & ",-1*CDbl(funds.fundamount),0)) AS outgo"
sql = sql & " FROM funds "
sql = sql & "GROUP BY funds.itemdisc"
What I am doing here is collecting the columns and using status as
credit or debt, if its debt I am subtracting from outgo if it is credit
I am adding to credit. This also will only select records so that
there are not any double listings. Here is an example.
DB
desc status fundamount
bill debt 10.00
bill debt 15.00
in credit 10.00
bills debt 5.00
in credit 5.00
paper debt 5.00
When I do the query I should have this
desc fundamount
bill -25.00
bills - 5.00
paper - 5.00
in 15.00
Something like that...
What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using SQL Express 2005 and VIsual Studio 2005, and this sounds like it should be easy. I'm trying to return the row numbers of my queries, but if I use the Row_Number() command I get the following error: "The OVER SQL construct or statement is not supported." So, is Row_Number() not supported in SQL Express 2005? If not, how can I return row numbers with my queries? Or, more specifically, how can I return a limited result set from a query (i.e. Return only row number 10-20)? My current command is as follows: SELECT (SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY UserName) As RowNumber), *FROM UsersORDER BY UserName Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Hello everyone!
I have a question for you. I have a product database with a lookup that pulls by product number. All my product numbers are made up the same way. IE. N59840, N00951, N00951. ect.
I have a stored procedure that looks up by that product number with a "LIKE" statement that looks like this.
WHERE ([Product#] LIKE '%' + @PRODUCTNUM + '%')
Which has this problem if someone types in "852" it returns
N00852
N05852
N98852
Is there anyway that I can have SQL put in zeros to fill up the 5 number spots so "852" brings up "00852" or "5852" brings up "05852"
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you for your help!!!

Hi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE clubs_belongs_to LIKE '%1%'
Where 1 is the number I'm searching for. The problem with the query above is that it returns records that contain 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. in the clubs_belongs_to field. I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.
