I created a function that will return
from OpenDataSource('.....') tablename
where ... is fully populated.
However, I can't figure out how to use it?
For example
select functiona (parameter) as data_src
this returns the "from" statement above
I then try to run
select * data_src
So how do I reference the contents of data_src in the select?
Thanks for any help
Hello all:
How can I return the result of a SELECT statement from a stored procedure (function)?
CREATE FUNCTION returnAllAuthors ()

RETURN SELECT * FROM authors
END
Thanks!
I'm selecting the last latitude & longitude input from my database to put into the Google maps javascript function.
This is how I retrieve the longitude:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="lon" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocateThis %>"
SelectCommand= "SELECT @lon= SELECT [lon] lon FROM [location] WHERE time = (SELECT MAX(time) FROM [location] where year < 2008)">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
I wish to input the latitude & longitude into the JAVASCRIPT function (contained in the HTML head before the ASP) something like this:
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));var lat = <%=lat%>;var lon = <%=lon%>;var center = new GLatLng(lat,lon);map.setCenter(center, 13);
However, lat & long do not contain the retrieved result but rather a useless System.something string.
How do I assign the retrieved results to these variables and port them over to Javascript as required?
Many thanks!
Hi,I was wondering if someone can help me. I have 4 tables in an SQL Server 2005 database, for purposes sake called 'table1', 'table2', 'table3' and 'table4'. They all have the same data structure between them. The columns inside them have the exact same design. For purposes sake called 'column1', 'column2', 'column3' and 'column4'. Alot of these tables have duplicate records scattered between them, so basically I want to create 'table5' with the same column names but only unique records. Can someone specify the syntax I need for this. I'm pretty sure it's a union query I need so am scouring as I type this also. Many Thanks Robert
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table with plant types and plant names. Certain plants are grouped on a custom field, currently called Field. I am trying to create a query that will give me a result set containing the primary order on Type, but need items with the same 'Field' value grouped by each other.For example, the following shows a standard query result with "order by Type", ie select * from plants order by Type
Code:
ID Type Name Field
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
6 Type6Name6(group6)
But I want it to look like this, with fields of the same value located next to each other in the result set (but still initially ordered by Type)
Code:
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
6 Type6Name6(group6)
I have some data which is vertical...I want to create a pivot query in SQL that will give me a result that is horizontal like this. I cannot find a way of doing it without lots of IF or CASE statements?

I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.

Is there a way to define a query-filter (Example: WHERE column1 > 5 AND column2 = 'value') in a function?
So I can create a query like this:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE MyFunction()
I know it's a bit of a strange question, but I'm writing a dynamic software that will have the ability to run Stored Procedures on any database to create some data-checks. Through parametrisation, a user can define for a specific Stored Procedure that some results are no longer necessary in the result-set.
Example:
ID - Name - State
1 - Jozef De Veuster - Mad
2 - Piet Husentruut - Not Happy
3 - Jeroen Meus - Angry
Is the result of a Stored Procedure "Show_me_unhappy_persons". But we already know that Jozef De Veuster is ALWAYS Mad, so a user can say: Exclude ID = 1, so it won't appear anymore in the result.
I want to handle this by doing:
SELECT *
FROM PeopleStates
WHERE --Some stuff--
AND CheckUserExclusions(SomeID)
And CheckUserExclusions will translate to "NOT (ID = 1)"

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS
showID
showTitle
SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID
VIDEOS
videoDate
showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
thanks
Hello,In the project I'm working on, I need to add up all rows data for onecolumn. So, I have this code:$getprodcount = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(qty) FROM purchase");$numproducts=$getprodcount;Later on, I have this code: <?php print $numproducts; ?>What is being printed is Resource id #5...not the numeric value of what issupposed to be a sum. What is wrong? I am assuming taht resource id #5 is apointer of some sorts to the number I am looking for, but how do you getthe actual sum number?Thanks in advance!--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

I am working on a Teacher Evaluation Project. In my database I store results from 1-5 as evaluation indicators. I apply AVG() function on the result column. The result of the query is in integer values (i.e) 4, 3 2 or 5. I want the resutl up to two decimal places. How can i write the query to get the result in decimal form?

I have a table with about 28 million records in it. Each row has an ID (PK), logged (datetime), IP varchar(15)
The data grows at about 14 million records per year. I'm going to be running queries on the table that extract the MONTH or YEAR from the logged column. In Foxpro tables I would have created indexes on YEAR(logged) and MONTH(logged) so my queries would run faster. Is this possible/necessary in SQL Server?
Hi,
I am trying to find a way to return the result of an EXEC(*sqlstring*) from a function. I can return the tsql but not the result of an execute.
This is my function:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[ReturnPickItemValue]

-- Add the parameters for the function here
@TypeID int,
@CaseID int
)
RETURNS varchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
-- Declare the return variable here
DECLARE @RTN varchar(max)
IF(SELECT IncludeDates FROM TBL_LU_PICK WHERE PickTypeID = @TypeID) = 1
BEGIN
SET @RTN = 'SELECT PickItem I +
CASE D.IsStartDateEstimated
WHEN 0 THEN CAST(StartDate as varchar)
ELSE CAST(dbo.ReturnEstimatedDate(D.IsStartDateEstimated, 0) as varchar)
END +
CASE D.IsEndDateEstimated
WHEN 0 THEN CAST(EndDate as varchar)
ELSE CAST(dbo.ReturnEstimatedDate(D.IsEndDateEstimated, 1) as varchar)
END
FROM TBL_LU_PICK L
INNER JOIN TBL_Pick_Items I ON I.PickTypeID = L.PickTypeID
INNER JOIN TBL_PICK P ON P.PickItemID = I.PickItemID
LEFT JOIN TBL_PickDates D ON D.PickID = P.PickID
WHERE L.PickTypeID = ' + CAST(@TypeID as varchar) + '
AND P.CaseID = ' + CAST(@CaseID as varchar)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @RTN=
'SELECT I.PickItem

INNER JOIN TBL_Pick P ON P.PickItemID = I.PickItemID
WHERE L.PickTypeID = ' + CAST(@TypeID as varchar) + '
AND CaseID = ' + CAST(@CaseID as varchar)
END
RETURN @RTN
END
Each time I try " RETURN EXEC(@RTN) " or something similar I get an error.
I have tried executing the tsql and assigning the result to a varchar and returning that varchar but i get an error.
Anyone with any ideas?
Ok, for a bunch of cleanup that i am doing with one of my Portal Modules, i need to do some pretty wikid conversions from multi-view/stored procedure calls and put them in less spid calls.
currently, we have a web graph that is hitting the sql server some 60+ times with data queries, and lets just say, thats not good. so far i have every bit of data that i need in a pretty complex sql call, now there is only one thing left to do.
Problem:
i need to call an aggregate count on the results of another aggregate function (sum) with a group by.
*ex: select count(select sum(Sales) from ActSales Group by SalesDate) from ActSales
This is seriously hurting me, because from everything i have tried, i keep getting an error at the second select in that statement. is there anotherway without using views or stored procedures to do this? i want to imbed this into my mega sql statement so i am only hitting the server up with one spid.
thanks,

Periodically throughout the day a report is manually pulled from a SQL Server database. Is their a way w/o me adding a field to the database to have the result set return the "new" results? For example, lets say this is our DDL
Create Table OneTwoThree
(
id int
,date11 datetime
,firefly varchar(10)
)
Insert Into OneTwoThree Values (1, '08/03/2015 18:43:32.012', 'Hi'), (2, '08/03/2015 18:44:11.011', 'No'),
(3, '08/03/2015 19:36:33.011', 'Second'), (4, '08/03/2015 19:37:33.011', 'Alpha')
Prior I could use this syntax, but that was only with needing to generate 1 result set.
Select id, convert(varchar(10), date11, 101) As [Date], firefly from onetwothree
where CONVERT(varchar(10), date11, 101) < CONVERT(varchar(10), GetDate(), 101)
Looking at my datetime values, let's say the 1st was generated at 18:45, obviously the 1st two records in the table would be returned. And let's say a 2nd time I need to generate I want to exclude the 1st two entries as they have already been verified. How can I do such w/o adding a field to the table?
I've put a SelectCommand with an aggregate function calculation and AS into a SqlDataSource and was able to display the result of the calculation in an asp:BoundField in a GridView; there was an expression after the AS (not sure what to call it) and that expression apparently took the calculation to the GridView (so far so good).
If I write the same SELECT statement in a C# code behind file, is there a way to take the aggregate function calculation and put it into a double variable? Possibly, is the expression after an AS something
that I can manipulate into a double variable? My end goal is to insert the result of the calculation into a database.
What I have so far with the SelectCommand, the SqlDataSource and the GridView is shown below in case this helps:
<asp:GridView class="gridview" ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="lbsgalDataSource">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Formulation" HeaderText="Formulation" SortExpression="Formulation" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="lbs" HeaderText="lbs" SortExpression="lbs" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="gal" HeaderText="gallons" SortExpression="gal" />

Hi guys n gals !
I am having a few problems manipulating the results of my data reader,To gather the data I need my code is:
// database connection SqlConnection dbcon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["dbcon"]);
// sql statement to select latest news item and get the posters name SqlCommand rs = new SqlCommand("select * from tblnews as news left join tblmembers as members ON news.news_posted_by = members.member_idno order by news.news_idno desc", dbcon); // open connection dbcon.Open();
// execute SqlDataReader dr = rs.ExecuteReader();
// send the data to the repeater repeater_LatestNews.DataSource = dr; repeater_LatestNews.DataBind();
Then I am using: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "news_comments")%> in my repeater.What I need to do is pass the "news_comments" item to a function I created which will then write the result. The code for my function is:
// prevent html public string StripHtml(string data) { // grab the data string theData = data;
// replace < with &alt; theData = Regex.Replace(theData, "<", "<"); // return result return theData; }
But I am having problms in doing this,Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing ???

I am between the "newbie" and "intermediate" stages of writing SQL code and I am wondering if there is a way to capture multiple results into one field so I can basically create a "set" for a unique identifier. Here is few result samples I receive from this code I am using now.
ReqNo ProcID
7102005 1409
7102005 1796
7139003 1411
7139003 6097
7261030 1409
7261030 1796
7268303 3998
7268303 4000
I would like to create a single row for each "ReqNo" and have a field that will an array of the "ProcID" results I receive. In other words, for the first "ReqNo" 7102005, can I create a field that will combine the 1409, 1796 into one field? I am trying to capture an array of integers used for that "ReqNo" so I can use that as a unique identifier in a join for another table.
So, ideally my result would be:
ReqNo ProcSet
7102005 1409, 1796
7139003 1411, 6097
7261030 1409, 1796
7268303 3998, 4000
Is this possible?

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID
FROM tableU u
LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.

I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value
----------- -----
colB 123
colA XYZ
I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...
Below is what I have:
CREATE TABLE myTable (colA VARCHAR(3), colB VARCHAR(3), colC VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('ABC', '123', '0X')
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('XYZ', '789', 'X0')
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC) AS SMALLINT) pos, STUFF(colC, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC), '') colC
[Code] ....
Hello!How can I make this function in MS SQL:CREATE FUNCTION id_name() RETURNS INTEGER AS 'SELECT MAX(ID)+1 FROM Test;'Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following function that I was able to put together with the help of the following article http://sqlblog.com/blogs/adam_machanic/archive/2006/07/12/rowset-string-concatenation-which-method-is-best.aspx but I'm having some problems with it any help would be greatly appreciated.
USE database1

END
FROM dbo.Un_Combined
WHERE prt_Mark = @prt_Mark
ORDER BY dwg_Seq
RETURN @Output
END
GO
prt_Mark | dwg_Seq

I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc
tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName
tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called
tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups.
What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName2, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName3]
I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I can't find it. Any help appreciated. :)
