I want to use max() function and I want to read the input of this function from another database(its name is exhibitor). like below :
select @LastDate=MAX([exhibitor.dbo.Maintable.LastUpdate])but I have error below
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Exec_List, Line 131
Invalid column name 'exhibitor.dbo.Maintable.LastUpdate'.
I have a scalar function, which calculates the similarity of two strings. I use the following query, to compare the entries of one table against the value 'Test' and return the entries, which have a value > 50:
;WITH cte1 AS (
SELECT b.FirstName,
(SELECT fn_similarity('Test', b.FirstName)) AS [Value],
b.LastName
FROM [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[Person] b
)
SELECT *
FROM cte1
WHERE [Value] > 50.00
ORDER BY [Value] DESC
Now I want to use this query against the first 50 entries of the [Person] table, so that the resultset includes all the values of the first 50 persons and the entries, which are similar to them.
At the moment I use a WHILE-loop and write the five single resultsets in a temporary table. Is there another way / a better way, maybe via a join?
I have setup CDC on 50 tables and then in one SP I’m calling all cdc function like below issue is I'm getting error “an insufficient number of arguments were supplied for the procedure or function cdc.fn_cdc_get_all_changes ... .” as error is not mentioning for which capture instance I'm getting this error so not able to find.

I have an existing function and need to alter function to give result of the values multipiled until its parent is reached.need two seperate functions for city and amt columns..need to also display the parent-description

I am having a hard time getting a variable recognized in a function. The variable is not being seen properly in the charindex function.
@ExtType contains = X

select @intPos = charindex(@ExtType,Upper(@PhoneNo))
I have the following query that supposes to merge multiple result in a single one and put it into a temporary table:
SELECT DISTINCT [AlphaExtension],
STUFF((SELECT A.[NoteText] + '< BR />' FROM #temp A
WHERE A.[AlphaExtension]=B.[AlphaExtension]
FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') As [NoteText]
FROM #temp B
GROUP BY [AlphaExtension], [NoteText]
It is working fine unless by a simple detail. If you look at the second line of the query you will see that I am stuffing together a < BR /> tag (break line) because the contents of the field is going to be spitted directly to the screen and I want that the multiple results be displayed in different lines.
OK, the issue is that it is stuffing & lt ; BR / & gt ; instead < BR /> and therefore the browser is displaying the tag instead to break a line.
I am having staging table with separted by '¯'.I want to split the data with given number .i have given 31 means my main table have 31 column. it should handle the less or more column.

I have a function that accepts a date parameter and uses getdate() as its default value. If a date is passed in, I'm going to have to find records using the datediff method based on input. If no date is passed, I am going to bypass the datediff logic and search for records based on a column called "is_current" which will reduce the query time.
However, I don't know how to tell if the date value in the function came from an input or was the default.
I have a function that accespts a string and a delimeter returns the results in a temp table. I am using the funtion for one of the columns in my view that needs be to split and display the column into different columns.

Function:
-----------------------------------
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[func_Split]

Not sure what I am missing in the above view why it doesn't split the string.
I have a question regarding windowing functions. I have a sales order table with the columns "orderid", "customerid", "order_date" and "amount". I use the following query to get the amount of every customer as a additional column:
Select customerid,
orderid,
order_date,
amount,
SUM(amount) OVER (PARTITION BY customerid)
FROM sales_orders
My question is if there is a good way to add another column, which includes the SUM(amount) of the customerid, where the order_date > 2012-01-15 , something like this:
Select customerid,
orderid,
order_date,
amount,
SUM(amount) OVER (PARTITION BY customerid),
SUM(amount) OVER (PARTITION BY customerid WHERE order_date > 2012-01-15)
FROM sales_orders
I know, this is not a valid method, so do you know a way to achieve this? Can I maybe use CROSS APPLY or something like this? I know that I could use a subquery to get this, but is there maybe a way / a better way via window functions?
I am looking for a function or way to return only results which does not include appended characters to order numbers.

I was hoping for something similar to RTRIM but that is only specific to white space.
I have the following data stored in a column in a table:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk Lårs Marqués María-Jose Carreño Quiñones
I query this in a stored procedure using the FOR XML clause and universal table, and store the result in an XML data type variable:
DECLARE@ResultXML
EXECUTE[someStoredProcedure] @Result OUTPUT
This data (as XML) is then written to a file; in order to do this, I CONVERT the data to NVARCHAR since there are unicode characters in the source:
DECLARE@strResultNVARCHAR(MAX)
SET@strResult= CONVERT( NVARCHAR( MAX ), @Result, 1 )
Now this works fine, except on inspection, SQLServer has decided to render the data thus:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk Lårs Marqués María-Jose Carreño Quiñones
Why it has changed the apos and quot entities to the corresponding character but not the other entities is beyond me.
how to preserve XML entities?
In t-sql 2012, the followinng sql works fine when I declare @reportID.
IF @reportID <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
[code]...
However when I use the sql above in an ssrs 2012 report, the query does not work since the @reportID parameter can have 0, 1, or up to 200 values.Thus I am thinking of calling the following following function to split out the parameter values:
FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_splitString]
(
@listString VARCHAR(MAX)
)
RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num + 1, CHARINDEX(',', l.listString, sn.Num + 1) - sn.Num - 1) _id
FROM (SELECT ',' + LTRIM(RTRIM(@listString)) + ',' AS listString) l
CROSS JOIN dbo.sequenceNumbers sn
WHERE sn.Num < LEN(l.listString)
AND SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num, 1) = ','
)
GO
how to remove the @reportID <> 0 t-sql above and replace by calling the fn_splitString function?
I would like to create a function that take a value and run some logic and output the value
I have a table like this
Table A

Logic I want to run is
The value that you are passing is numeric and numeric with only decimal 0 value, and then convert it to integer otherwise leave as it is
So if I run a query something like this
Select value, fn_convertointerger(value) as converted_value from TableA
I will get
Value converted_value

001 1
004.00 4

Is the data type of the column used for partitioning. All data types are valid for use as partitioning columns, except text, ntext, image, xml, timestamp, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), alias data types, or CLR user-defined data types.
In this case why isn't datetime works?

We have accounts that pay for a particular "premium" service. It's entirely possible an account paid for this service for three consecutive months in 2013, then stopped paying, then started paying again. Why I'm trying to establish is, for the FIRST period of time the accout paid for this service, for how many consecutive months did they pay? Here is my test data:
if object_id('tempdb..#SampleData') is not null
drop table #SampleData
go
if object_id('tempdb..#DateAnalysis') is not null
drop table #DateAnalysis
go
-- Create temp tables for sample data
create table #SampleData
(AccountID int,
RandomDate datetime)
create table #DateAnalysis
(RowID int identity(1,1),
AccountID int,
RandomDate datetime,
NextDate datetime,
LeadInMonths int)
-- Insert some sample data
insert into #SampleData values

(2, '1/1/13'), (2, '4/1/13'), (2, '5/1/13'), (2, '6/1/13'),
(3, '2/1/13'), (3, '3/1/13'), (3, '4/1/13'), (3, '9/1/13'), (3, '10/1/13'), (3, '11/1/13')
-- Use lead function to determine how many months are between
-- consecutive dates per account
; with DateInterval as
(select AccountID, RandomDate,
NextDate = lead (RandomDate, 1, NULL) over (partition by AccountID order by RandomDate)
from #SampleData)
insert into #DateAnalysis
select AccountID, RandomDate, NextDate,
datediff(mm, RandomDate, NextDate) as 'Lead'
from DateInterval
where NextDate is not null -- Last row will contain NULL for NextDate. Don't include these rows.
-- Show the results
select *,
'NTile' = NTILE(3) over (partition by AccountID order by RandomDate),
'RowNum' = row_number() over (partition by AccountID order by RandomDate)

The problem comes with accounts like AccountID = 1. They paid consecutively to start, then skipped, then started paying consecutively again. When using window functions, I'm running into trouble attempting to partition by AccountID and LeadInMonths. It's putting all the LeadInMonths = 1 together and that will give me skewed results if I want to know the earliest and latest date within the FIRST consecutive range of dates where the account paid. I've tried NTILE but it expects an integer and there's no telling how many "tiles" would be in AccountID partition.
I've looked at the OVER clause and the new "ROWS BETWEEN" syntax and still cannot get the desired results.

I have a requirement regarding a color combination data. I have a lookup table that holds a colorid, p1, p2, p3, p4 to p8 which will be having colors Red, Green and Amber. P1 to P8 columns holds these three colors based on their combinations.
I have attached the look up table data for reference.I need to pass the color values to p1 to p8 and need to retrieve the color id based on the passed color. If we pass values for all p1 to p8 then it is easy to get the color code, however it will not happen. The passed values may be dynamic. ie we will not have all 8 values all the times. sometimes we will have 2 colors passed, sometimes 5 colors will be passed.
If i pass only two colors say red and red, i need the color id of only the row that has red and red for p1 and p2 alone. i dont want want all the colorid's that has red and red in p1 and p2 and some other colors in p3 to p4.
The exact colorid of the combination must be returned on passing the values to p1 and p2.I am passing Red and Red as values to P1 and P2. In the look up table we can have 10 rows that has red and red i p1 and p2 like
colorid p1p2p3p4p5p6p7p8
1 redred
10 redredred
20 redredred
30 redredredred
40 redredredredred
50 redredredredredred
60 redredredredredredred
70 redredredredredredredred
So the result must have only the colorid 1 and not all the colorid's listed above. when I pass 3 red as values for p1, p2, p3 then the result must be 10. Colorid 1, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 must not come in the result.I need a function or procedure that will accept the arguments and provide me the result based on the values.

My overarching goal is to generate sets of random Symptom records for each Enrollee in a drug study, so that for each cycle (period of time), the code will insert a random number of random records for each enrollee.
I'm trying to return a number of random records from a table, but inside a table-valued function... (which could be my problem).
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_GetTopSymptoms (
@enrollID INT
, @CTCVersion VARCHAR(20)
, @NumRecords INT
)
RETURNS TABLE
[Code] ....
But that ORDER BY NEWID() clause is illegal apparently, because here's the error it throws:
Msg 443, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ufn_GetTopSymptoms, Line 13
Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'newid' within a function.
I was hoping I could return a set of enrollmentIDs and then use CROSS APPLY to generate a random set of records for each enrollmentID... is this not possible with APPLY? I was trying to avoid using a cursor...
The idea is basically to create all the Symptom records for all the patients in treatment cycle at once by using Enrollee OUTER APPLY dbo.ufn_GetTopSymtoms(dbo.Enrollment.EnrolleeID)
but that's clearly not working. Is there a way to do this without resorting to a cursor?
