I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1]( [BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL, [PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
Right now I have to do something like this and it is time consuming every time I have to query a specific table...
SELECT lots_of_columns FROM table WHERE (column5 = '1' OR column6 = '1' OR column7 = '1' OR column8 = '1' OR column9 = '1' OR column10 = '1' OR column11 = '1' OR column12 = '1') AND other_query_critiera_here
Typing out the OR statement gets long, time consuming and prone to errors because that first where line with all the ORs can sometimes have 20+ ORs in it. As some insight, the columns are text columns, sometimes they have data, sometimes they are NULL. Sometimes they have the same data (i.e., column5 and column6 and column12 could both have '1' as values).
Code written so far. this pivots the column deck and jib_in into rows but thats it only TWO ROWS i.e the one i put inside aggregate function under PIVOT function and one i put inside QUOTENAME()
DECLARE @columns NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql NVARCHAR(MAX); SET @columns = N''; SELECT @columns += N', p.' + QUOTENAME(deck) FROM (SELECT p.deck FROM dbo.report AS p GROUP BY p.deck) AS x;
[Code] ....
I need all the columns to be pivoted and show on the pivoted table. I am very new at dynamic pivot. I tried so many ways to add other columns but no avail!!
I have a description field in a table which also stores unit of measure in the same column but with some space between them, I need to split these into two different columns.
I'm fairly new to SQL and am just setting up a Windows 8 app using an Azure SQL server. The issue I have is looking up a part number supersession and getting the latest number. One part number can have multiple supersessions (ie RTC5756 > STC8572 > STC3765 > STC9150 > STC9191 > SFP500160 ).The data I am supplied monthly has both the superseeded items and the supersession information in both columns and is not easy to decipher - for example:
The newest part number is kept in a separate table - called "source" - which in this instance is SFP500160. I need access to the latest part number but also to the part's previous numbers, due to the fact that some people may still be stocking them as an old part number and for them to search by. Is there an easy and efficient way of doing both a lookup for the supersessions and a join on the two tables to minimize the queries on the database?
I currently have data stored in a temporary table and I would like to transpose the data into a better format. I would like for the query to be dynamic since one of the tables currently has over 500 columns.
The attached file provides an example of the table structure along with sample data. Below the first set of data is the desired final format.
I'm using SQL 2012 express.. and just recently learned how to code.
I wrote a query and keep receiving this error...
Error converting data type varchar to float.
here's the query code
SELECT SUM(cast(lc as float)) FROM [dbo].[LaborCosts] WHERE ppty = 'ga' AND PL = 'allctd ktchn expns' AND ACCT like 'payroll%'
I am trying to sum up the values in column LC, and realized I have unnecessary quotations marks. How can I eliminate the quotations from the column, and only query the numerical values?
I have the following query that displays 2 values. I want to add a column with the percentage ([Providers With Security]
/ProviderTotal) * 100 SELECT (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT NPI) FROM HS140_Rpt_Tmp_ForSummary WHERE Market = s.Market) AS ProviderTotal,COUNT(DISTINCT NPI) AS [Providers With Security] FROM HS140_Rpt_Tmp_ForSummary s WHERE s.[Security] = 'Yes' GROUP BY Market
Is it possible to assign multiple columns from a SQL query to one variable. In the below query I have different variable (email, fname, month_last_taken) from same query being assigned to different columns, can i pass all columns to one variable only and then extract that column out of that variable later? This way I just need to write the query once in the complete block.
DECLARE @email varchar(500) ,@intFlag INT ,@INTFLAGMAX int ,@TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(100)
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:
SELECT "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT", "NAME"."INTERNET-ADDRESS", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID" FROM "SKYWARD"."PUB"."NAME" "NAME", "SKYWARD"."PUB"."QUDDAT-DATA" "QUDDAT_DATA" WHERE ("NAME"."NAME-ID"="QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-SRC-ID") AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"=0 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID"=16 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT"=11237When I try to convert it into an
[Code] ....
I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
I think I need to only create few if an index is covering all columns then I do not need to create more indexes for separate columns or should I create separate index as suggested?
Similarly:
CREATE INDEX [NCIX_20187_20186_TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transact] ON [TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transaction] ([SerialNo],[StationaryStatus]) GO CREATE INDEX [NCIX_20189_20188_TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transact] ON [TL_SRV_Stationary_Stock_Transaction] ([StationaryStatus]) INCLUDE ([SerialNo]) GO
[Code] ....
Should I create all indexes above or use minimum number of indexes which covers all columns as mentioned in above create index statements?
One of my varchar columns in a table has multiple key words enclosed in a pattern of special characters.
Eg: William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world's pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England's national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other [##playwright##].
I need to write to query to find all distinct key words that are enclosed within [## and ##]. My query should yield the following results from the string in the example above
[##actor##] [##dramatist##] [##playwright##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##poems##] [##poet##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##sonnets##] [##verses##] [##writer##]
I need to run this on a large table, so I am looking for the best possible way to minimize any performance issues.
Just give you sample code, I have provided below 2 separate snippets, one with table variable and another with temp table.
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (MyString VARCHAR (8000)) INSERT @MyTable VALUES ('William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world''s pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England''s national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain.
Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?
USE MyTestDB; GO SET NOCOUNT ON; IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.FactTemp' ,'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.FactTemp;

I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.
Is there a simple and direct way to perform a fulltext query in a table with multiple columns, and to use AND over multiple columns? I've noticed that AND only works within one column.
Example: Take a column 'lastname' with 'jones' and 'smith' in it. Another column 'firstname' with 'alan' where lastname=smith. Search for 'alan and smith', and no results are returned because they are in different columns. If you would have a lastname 'alan smith', that would be found.
I'm exporting the following query to a datagrid, however in the result set, some values are duplicated (for various reasons... mostly old software and poor categorization)...On the records with identical values, I want to look at the account number and the DateOfService fields and search for joint distinct values and only display that...Current Example: ACCT NUM | DATE OF SERVICE |________________________________ 43490 | 10/01/2006 08:15:23 | 35999 | 10/10/2005 12:00:00 | 35999 | 10/24/2005 12:45:30 | 35999 | 10/10/2005 12:00:00 | 35999 | 10/10/2005 12:00:00 | 23489 | 10/15/2006 15:13:23 |Desired Result: ACCT NUM | DATE OF SERVICE |________________________________ 43490 | 10/01/2006 08:15:23 | 35999 | 10/10/2005 12:00:00 | 35999 | 10/24/2005 12:45:30 | 23489 | 10/15/2006 15:13:23 |Here is the query I'm working with... just can't figure out how to join or limit the results to ONLY unique matches in Acct Number AND DateOfService.

I need to list customers in a table that represents sales over the years.
I have tables:
Customers -> id | name |... Orders -> id | idCustomer | date | ... Products -> id | idOrder | unitprice | quantity | ...
I am using this SQL but it only gets one year:
SELECT customers.name , SUM(unitprice*qt) AS total FROM Products INNER JOIN Orders ON Orders.id = Products.idOrder INNER JOIN Customers ON Customers.id = Orders.idCustomer WHERE year(date)=2014 GROUP BY customers.name ORDER BY 2 DESC
I need something like this:
customer | total sales 204 | total sales | 2015 | total sales (2014 + 2015) -------- customer A | 1000$ | 2000$ | 3000$ customer B | 100$ | 100$ | 200$
Is it possible to retrieve these values in a single SQL query for multiple years and grand total?
We have a customer that is running SQL2012 and we are seeing a weird result on a query when we run it on their db. It is based off of a table that has about 30 columns but in this case we only care about 2 of them.
[Number] [varchar](15) NOT NULL [Person_ID] [varchar](12) NULL
Here is the query we are doing: Select Number,Person_ID From TableName where LP='ABC123'
The result I get back is the following: Number:1 Person_ID:13864
The Person_ID should be a result of another table that created that Person_ID but it doesn't exist in that table. So we do not know where that 13864 is coming from. When we open that record through our application it shows Nothing for the Person_ID in that field.
When we do this query on our copy we get back Number:1 Person_ID:
Which is exactly what we should see as the result.
Could there be a sql server setting that is set on their server that could possibly be given us back 13864 for a NULL value?
I need a query to pull the data from Sql server. my requirement is i need to pull the data from multiple columns, in that there are three email fields are there like email1, email2, email3. i need query to retreive the data from table first it search for email in the above 3 fields if any one of the fields contains the record the it display as Main mail id.
