I'm trying to convert the query immediately below into a function with the conditional logic to return a VARCHAR value with the gender: male, female or unknown.
SELECT empid, firstname, lastname, titleofcourtesy, CASE WHEN titleofcourtesy IN('Ms.', 'Mrs.') THEN 'Female' WHEN titleofcourtesy = 'Mr.' THEN 'Male' ELSE 'Unknown' END AS gender FROM HR.Employees; GO
Below is the conditional logic function I'm trying to create to replicate the logic above.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Gender ( @male AS VARCHAR(10), @female AS VARCHAR(10), @unknown AS VARCHAR(10) ) RETURNS VARCHAR(10)
I have a data model with 7 tables and I'm trying to write a stored procedure for each table that allows four actions. Each stored procedure should have 4 parameters to allow a user to insert, select, update and delete a record from the table.
I want to have a stored procedure that can accept those 4 parameters so I only need to have one stored procedure per table instead of having 28 stored procedures for those 4 actions for 7 tables. I haven't found a good example online yet of conditional logic used in a stored procedure.
Is there a way to add a conditional logic IF statement to a stored procedure so if the parameter was INSERT, go run this statement, if it was UPDATE, go run this statement, etc?
I have a simple SSIS package running under SQL 2005 SP2a.
In the data flow, I have several lookup transforms with error outputs. Each error output links to its own audit transform and then writes data to its own flat file destination.
After the data flow is complete, my control flow will then use a ForEach file container to mail the flat files to the source system data owners with a message about incomplete/inconsistent source data. I am effectively providing feedback to the source owners so that we may improve the quality of data that gets sent to us.
My problem is that the flat file (which contains the offending rows) seems to get created everytime even when there were no errors in the lookup in question. Thus my ForEach container will always send a mail to the data source teams even if there were no errors as the error flat file will always exist albeit empty.
How can I stop this happening? How can I only create flat files when there really were errors? How can I prevent the source teams from receiving feedback emails when there is no reason to?
I could deploy across my environment, which is a mix of 2008R2/2012 servers, to give some information on log files. Running into a silly issue right off the bat. The table that DBCC LogInfo() conjures out of magic is different between the two. In 2012 it gained the RecoveryUnitID column. So I'm trying to write some logic to create a temp table based on which version is running. I would like to avoid a global temp table if possible. Here's what I've tried:
sp_executesql creates a table outside of the scope of my session: DECLARE @PrVers NVARCHAR(128) , @PrVersNum DECIMAL(10,2) , @StageTable NVARCHAR(1024) = N''
I have a stored proc that contains an update which utilizes a case statement to populate values in a particular column in a table, based on values found in other columns within the same table. The existing update looks like this (object names and values have been changed to protect the innocent):
UPDATE dbo.target_table set target_column = case when source_column_1= 'ABC'then 'XYZ' when source_column_2= '123'then 'PDQ'
[Code] ....
The powers that be would like to replace this case statement with some sort of table-driven structure, so that the mapping rules defined above can be maintained in the database by the business owner, rather than having it embedded in code and thus requiring developer intervention to perform changes/additions to the rules.
The rules defined in the case statement are in a pre-defined sequence which reflects the order of precedence in which the rules are to be applied (in other words, if a matching value in source_column_1 is found, this trumps a conflicting matching value in source_column_2, etc). A case statement handles this nicely, of course, because the case statement will stop when it finds the first "hit" amongst the WHEN clauses, testing each in the order in which they are coded in the proc logic.
What I'm struggling with is how to replicate this using a lookup table of some sort and joins from the target table to the lookup to replace the above case statement. I'm thinking that I would need a lookup table that has column name/value pairings, with a sequence number on each row that designates the row's placement in the precedence hierarchy. I'd then join to the lookup table somehow based on column names and values and return the match with the lowest sequence number, or something to that effect.
have a SQL2K/VB.NET05 -based website that uses a complex search query, whose results will contain additional logic to be evaluated. There are thousands of records and growing, so it is not feasible to code this within the program...it must be evaluated inline or after the query, and it is also not feasible to set up additional fields and tables to handle the logic.
For a very general example: In the .NET code, the following variables are recognized: sex="M" Paid=4350.00 Outstanding=28000.50
One of the query result fields will contain the additional logic to evaluate and another will tell the type of expression..
EVAL EXPR BOOL Sex='F' and Paid/Outstanding < 27.50 BOOL Sex='M' and Paid/Outstanding < 38 or Sex='F' INT Paid*52.33
In other words..the thousands of records being returned have their own additional logic to evaluate. Is there a way this can be done by importing the variable into SQL server and testing it during the query?
If not, is there a way that I can run the code in the middle of .NET? I know I could run scripted code while in ASP, but ASP.NET is compiled, so I dont know if it can be done there....
I am need to create comma separated list in sql and I am using below query.
declare @ConcatenatedString NVARCHAR(MAX) select @ConcatenatedString = COALESCE(@ConcatenatedString + ', ', '') + CAST(rslt.Number AS NVARCHAR) from ( select 1 Number union select 2 Number union select 3 Number )rslt select @ConcatenatedString
When I use the above code inside a function, i am not getting desired output.
create function GetConcatenatedValue AS ( declare @ConcatenatedString NVARCHAR(MAX) select @ConcatenatedString = COALESCE(@ConcatenatedString + ', ', '') + CAST(rslt.Number AS NVARCHAR) from ( select 1 Number union select 2 Number union select 3 Number )rslt return @ConcatenatedString )
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
I would like to wrap the following code in a function and reuse it. I use this code in many triggers.
DECLARE @Action as char(1); SET @Action = (CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM INSERTED) AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED) THEN 'U' -- Set Action to Updated. WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM INSERTED) THEN 'I' -- Set Action to Insert. WHEN EXISTS(SELECT * FROM DELETED) THEN 'D' -- Set Action to Deleted. ELSE NULL -- Skip. It may have been a "failed delete". END)
Is it possible to write a function and pass the INSERTED and DELETED logical tables to it?
I am developing for a customer and they want a search facility that uses boolean logic and special characters. So they want to be able to add "AND" "OR" "NOT" "*" and "?". And for this to effect the search in the predicted way and ranked. I was wondering if there is any examples of this type of search implemented?
There are three methods to consider when calculating the days to pay logic.
Method 1 - Simple : Look for Document Type 2 (Invoice), if "closed at date" > "posting date" then number of days = ("closed at date" - "posting date")
Method 2 - A Document Type 1 (payment) closes a Document Type 2 (Invoice) For this method the formula would be: Payment Record (1) "posting date" - Invoice Record (2) "posting date"
Method 3 - An Invoice closes the payment.
On a payment entry “closed by entry no.” refers to an Invoice entry.
a. In our code we are not on the payment looking for the invoice, we are on the invoice. i. Because of this we need to find the entry that our current invoiced has closed.
I am taking this from a page that has the pascal code that I need to translate to SQL.
IF (CustLedgEntry2."Document Type" = CustLedgEntry2."Document Type"::Invoice) AND NOT CustLedgEntry2.Open THEN IF CustLedgEntry2."Closed at Date" > CustLedgEntry2."Posting Date" THEN UpdateDaysToPay(CustLedgEntry2."Closed at Date" - CustLedgEntry2."Posting Date")
[Code] ....
I am also including create table and insert data scripts ...
I have the following code and the result set is coming out as nvarchar. So, when I create a report in SSRS, it is not formatting as a date.
, CASE WHEN isnull(cv2.Accepted,0)='True' AND cv2.Visit ='V2' AND cv2.StepNo='3' THEN 'Y' ELSE CONVERT(varchar,[dbo].[fn_Get_WorkingDays] (co.PlannedGoLiveDt, -10)) END AS 'System Verified'
I have a sql query that gets the count of exams held in each month.
Below is the code that I have used.
select Examid, count(*) as CumCount from [dbo].[Exams] where ExamCategory in ('Major','Critical') and Month(EXOCCRDATE) = Month(getdate()) and Year(EXOCCRDATE) = Year(getdate()) group by Examid
The code works good when we have data for the current month. When we dont have any exams for the current month, the code outputs empty values. I want the code to be altered so that when there is no value returned in the output, i want a default value shown in the output.
I have attached the sample data that I am using. In the data we dont have dates for the month of October. So when I run the code it will display empty output. So what I need is I need a text like 'No Data' to be shown when no value is returned by the query.
insert into #sample values ('customerid','15339119') insert into #sample values ('Title','15339119') insert into #sample values ('firstname','15339119') insert into #sample values ('prevcr','2146822710') insert into #sample values ('currcr','2146822710') insert into #sample values ('brandcode','2146822710')
I've the following T-SQL block that I'm executing where I want to print the following output in next line but not sure how to do this:
This is printing everything in one line: SET @BODYTEXT = ' Dear ' + @fname +',We realize you may have taken ' + @course_due + ' in '+ @month_last_taken +'.'
How do I do this: SET @BODYTEXT = ' Dear ' + @fname + ',We realize you may have taken ' + @course_due + ' in '+ @month_last_taken +'.'
Also how can I create a table in this variable, something like this:
(TABLE) LIST THE COURSE CODE, COURSE NAME , EMPLOYEE ID, EMPLOYEE NAME
(Course Name) (Last Completed) (Now due in Month/year)
My T-SQL code:
DECLARE @email varchar(500) ,@intFlag INT ,@INTFLAGMAX int ,@TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(100) ,@EMP_ID INT ,@fname varchar(100)
declare @xmldoc as xml select @xmldoc = '<Text>This is firstline<Break />This is second line<Break />This is third line</Text>' select @xmldoc.value('(/Text)[1]','varchar(max)')Result is: "This is firstlineThis is second lineThis is third line"
My problem is, that the <Break /> tags within the text are removed in the conversion to varchar. How to preserve the such tags in the varchar output? Or to get the <Break /> tags "translated" to e.g. CHAR(10)?
I am asked to create 100 procedures to a database. Any best way to create them in a database one by one by calling the files and saving the execution output files in a folder?
I am working on a code that will convert the query output into a html query output. That is the output of the query will be along with html tags so that we can save it as a html file.
The stored procedure that i have used is downloaded from symantec website and is working fine. Below is the code of that stored procedure.
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] Script Date: 12/21/2011 09:04:30 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] ( @TABLENAME NVARCHAR(500), @OUTPUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,
[Code] ....
The code works fine and i am able to get the output with html tags. The problem occurs when i insert stylesheet in the code. I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.
If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 98 Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '</table></body><'. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 98 Incorrect syntax near '</table></body><'.
[Code] .....
I checked the code and i am not able to find what is the mistake. I tried changing the quotation mark but it didn't worked.
And works perfectly, but ... how to make sure every item has an element "nodes" ? The case here is for the child leafs obviously. This, because on the client i have to inject this element "nodes" on a json version of this xml, and just wanted to avoid normalizing the structure on the client.
For the root I am using
FOR XML PATH('root'),TYPE; and for the hierarchy that follows FOR XML RAW ('node'), root('nodes'), ELEMENTS
I have been given a request at work that requires us to run the SQL scripts that are held in a report configuration table and output the results as .csv or.xls files in a desired folder with a file name that is also specified within the report config table.
An example of the table is as per script below with column A being the desired file name to be created and Column B contains the script that will be executed.
Ideally I require a script that i can drop into a Stored Proc that will run down each row in the table and export and create each rows results as a separate file in a desired folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----SAMPLE TABLE SCRIPT ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /****** Object: Table [dbo].[Test_Table_PS] Script Date: 21/09/2015 09:14:57 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_Table_PS]( [File_Name] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
I have to make a user defined function in c# as the class liberary and create a dll file, now i want to use this function in SQL Server 2005 as a part of CLR Integration
I have tried like this

WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE
but it gives me incorrect syntax error so plzzzzz anyone help me wht to do in my probbbbbbbbb???????
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?
