SQL Server 2014 :: Overriding Data Precedence In COALESCE Expression
Aug 5, 2015
I want to return a BIT from an outer join. I want the result type to be BIT. However, the usage of ISNULL is forbidden by code standards. The first expression returns an INT. Which of the bottom expressions do you think would work best in a query?
And why would ISNULL be absolutely forbidden? I was told that Microsoft deprecated it along with TINYINT, which I'm often prevented from using even when it's the appropriate data type.
DECLARE @x BIT;
DECLARE @default BIT = 1;
DECLARE @something sql_variant;
SELECT @something = COALESCE(@x, 1);
SELECT SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(@something, 'BaseType');
SELECT @something = COALESCE(@x, @default);
SELECT SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(@something, 'BaseType');
SELECT @something = COALESCE(@x, CAST(1 AS BIT));
SELECT SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(@something, 'BaseType');

I have a query with huge number of case statements. Basically I need to short this query with getting rid of these hundreds of CASE statements.
Because of the nature of the application I am not allowed to use a function, and just wondering if there is a possible way to rewrite this with COALESCE().
SELECT
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%cricket%' THEN 'ck' + ',' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%soccer%' THEN 'sc' + ',' ELSE '' END +
....
CASE WHEN A.[RESIUTIL_DESC] LIKE '%base%ball' THEN 'BB' + ',' ELSE '' END
FROM TableName A

I have a SSAS stored procedure with a signature:
public Set DoSomthing(Set toBeProcessed, Set measuresToWorkWith)The set measurseToWorkWith is passed as {[Measures].[Measure1], [Measures].[Measure2] ...}
with the measures being real or query-scoped calculated members.
To get the value of the measure for each tuple in the set toBeProcessed, I create an Expression for each tuple (measure) in the set measuresToWorkWith then for each tuple in toBeProcessed call expression.Calculate(tuple) which returns a MDXValue.
My problem is that in order to make the code generic I need to get the real (.NET) data type of the MDXValue. The class only has explicit conversion methods ToInt16() etc which implies that the data type is known at design time.
However, if one of the measures is a query-scoped calculation then it could return a .NET double, int, bool or string.
If the measure is real then I can look up its metadata. However, it appears that if it is a formula (scoped member) then are all bets are off?

Hello,
I have a SQL Task the executes the following statement;
SELECT COUNT(SettleDate) AS CountResult
FROM SettleDateCount
I have the SQL Task Editor configured for a Single Row result set. The Result Name is CountResult, and the variable it populates is RowCountRes. RowCountRes is Int32 with EvaluateAsExpression set to False.
I have a boolean variable called RowCountStatus. It evaluates as the following expression;
@[User::RowCountRes] > 1
From the SQL Task, I have two different constraints, both of which evaluate with an expression. One constraint evaluates this way; @[User::RowCountStatus] = True
The other evaluates this way; @[User::RowCountStatus] = False
The idea is that if the count comes back from the sql statement greater than 1 then execution continues down one path, else it goes down the other path. Currently, the result comes back = 1. I expect that the 'False' path will execute, but the 'True' path executes instead.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!

Greetings,
I have an expression in a precedence constraint that is returning false when it should return true. This is the expression that returns false:
((5500 / 9990) * 100) > 10
The following expression returns true. I did the division (5500 / 9990) myself and substituted the resulting value:
((0.55055055055055055055055055055055) * 100) > 10
Why is the first expression returning false? I'm stuck in the mud up to my axles on this and I know I'll probably feel like a fool when I learn the answer...
Thanks,
BCB

I'm preparing a report that will display provider number, provider name, and a single field that will show all the counties that specific provider serves. I realize from researching the coalesce posts that this can be done. However, when I try to retrieve data in the same select statement as my coalesce, I get the error: "A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations."The listing of the counties must be specific to the provider, so my original code was:
DECLARE @Counties varchar(1000)
SET @Counties = ''
SELECT a.PROV_ID, a.PROV_NAME,
@Counties=coalesce(@Counties,'') + b.COUNTY + ','
from ECBH.dbo.tbl_PROVIDERS a inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Provider_Serv_Regions c
on a.PROV_ID = c.PROV_ID
inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Regions b
on b.REGION_ID = c.REGION_ID
where c.PROV_ID = a.PROV_ID
and a.MASTER = 1
I thought about creating a table to hold the coalesced values (need to coalesce two other fields as well), but wouldn't an insert to a table fail for the same reason?The counties table does not relate to the provider table, but does relate to a provider_county table (which in turn relates to the provider table).

Looking to coalesce a WHERE clause with XML data. I cannot supply test data.
If 472 is null, check the NEXT XML field at grab the 150, if both 472 AND 150 do NOT exist let it be NULL.
set @Date = (select top 1 XL.value('(DTM/DTM.02/DTM.02.1)[1]', 'varchar(100)') from #src
where coalesce(XL.value('(DTM/DTM.01/DTM.01.1)[1]', 'varchar(50)') = '472', '(DTM/DTM.01/DTM.01.1)[1]', 'varchar(50)') = '150')

I wish to use the same data to update 2 different tables.
There is no green arrow output from the OLE DB data destination, so I can't have another component following on from the first insert.
This means I have to use the Multicast to 'copy' the data prior to the first table insert.
I can then use the data to perform inserts to both tables.
However, there is an FK constraint between these two tables, so I need to wait until the first table insert has finished before performing the second table insert.
How can I do this? How can I make the second insert dependent on the first?

I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.

I am trying to create a small data set for use in a charting program. However, I am not getting the results that I expected.
********QUERY BEGIN*****************
DECLARE @BeginDate datetime
DECLARE @EndDate datetime
SET @BeginDate = '2014-01-01'
SET @EndDate = '2014-12-31';
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT bkg_nbr
[Code] ....
The raw data from the CTE is:
Bkg_nbr STATE_NBR Ranking
20140000943200060000 1
20140000131500140000 1
20140000682200140000 2
20140000504100210000 1
The result of the query above was:
Category RecCount
Non-Recidivists3
Recidivists 1
The outcome I was looking for was:
Category RecCount
Non-Recidivists2
Recidivists 1
What I am trying to do is count persons in buckets "non-recidivists" and "recidevists" based on how many bkg_nbr they have per STATE_NBR. If they have more than 1 bkg_nbr per STATE_NBR then put them in the "recdivists" bucket. If they only have a 1 to 1 then put them in the "non-recidivists" bucket.

Hi all,
I have a task as creating a SSIS package to transfer all the 10 tables from a database to another. And I have used the Transfer SQL Objects Task to select a table list and let the component do the transfering.
But my problem is that the source database have bad data and some null data, so I have to find a way to transfer only 'NOT BAD' data, and remove the bad data (lost relationship) and change NULL to "N/A".
And I can't find a way to do this. Is there anyone have experiences with this problem?
Can anyone help me?
I will very appreciate you help?

I want to see the data grouped by CUSTACCT by YEAR then by PERIOD for each of these: FLIGHTHRSSUM, LATEFEESUM, EXCHFEESUM without duplicates.
Is this possible?

I have a stored procedure that has @BeginDate and @EndDate as parameters. I created a report with a default for both. They run just fine. After I deployed, I created Linked Reports and wanted to override the defaults. In the defaults, I tried to put in GetDate() for @BeginDate and GetDate()+10 for the @EndDate so this can be passed in the where statement of the stored procedure. I get 'Syntax error converting datetime from character string.'
What I assume is that if I override the default, the stored procedure will process what I put in the @BeginDate and @EndDate parameters.
The where statement looks like:
and (m.BeginDate >= @BeginDate) and (m.EndDate <= @EndDate)
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
Thanks, Iris

I'm a web developer who writes transact-SQL to make my web applications run properly. I'm not real strong in other areas of SQL. Let me explain our set-up and then I'll explain what I want to do:
We have an ecommerce web site and all sales are saved in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database at our hosting company. We also have a local Windows 2012 network that has SQL Server 2014 Express installed.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to copy sales rows from the SQL Server 2008 database at our hosting company and save them in the SQL Server 2014 Express database on our local Windows 2012 server. I'd like to automate this if possible so that it happens each night perhaps. I know there is a way to schedule SQL jobs but I've never actually done this. I also would need to know how to attach to our hosting company DB as well as our local network DB.

I want to import the data from specific Access Database and Table to SQL Server, using SQL Script. I am trying to implement the solution as given in this link. URL....Here is the code that I have tried -
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
[code]...
The access database file path is - 'C:SQL ProjectTestDB1001.mdb'.The Table from which I want to import the data is - [Table1001]. but when I run this script, I get this error -9 The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "MSAccessConnect" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Secondly I need to make 2 more changes to the code posted above.
1.If some access database .mdb, has got password protection, then how to include the password in the script, so that one does not have to manually feed in the password during data import work.
2. How to limit the data that is to be imported from the table [Table1001] by including a WHERE Clause, like for example - SELECT * FROM [Table1001] WHERE xdate = '2015-9-16 00:00:00.000')

We have an application that can spit out our Facility Structure into the following format. However, we have a need to take that data and feed it into another system. However, as you can see it is organized in a PARENT / CHILD structure.
Indent Level Key:
1System
2Facility
3Service Line
4Division
5Department
If you notice, each additional row is the child row to its parent above it as long as the Indent Level Key continues to increment. Once we start going back up the structure we essentially have a new Division/Service Line/or Facility depending on how far back we jump on the Indent Level for that next row. Here is some sample data.
--===== If the test table already exists, drop it
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#Test_Data','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Test_Data
--===== Create the test table with
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

I am running an hotel application for all the bookings.
I would like to get all the data of all the guests that stayed in the hotel (name, stay duration and dates, payment, etc).However, the GUI would make me go over one booking at a time, which would take me forever.
The application has an SQL database locally on my computer.
Will I be able to use SQL server and extract all the guests data from the last year and export it into a file, e.g. A CSV file?

Basically I've got two tables with a common column (in this case it's UserID)
The structure of the table Users is basically:
UserID FirstName LastName
1 Jim Smith
2 Nancy Orr
3 Ken Stephenson
And the structure of the classes table is
UserID ClassID
1 AAA
1 BBB
2 AAA
3 BBB
What I'd like to do is select the FirstName and LastName the users table who have a UserID in both Classes and Users.
The tricky part of it is that I only want to return the FirstName and LastName of userID who have multiple ClassID in the classes table. (hopefully I'm making sense when I explain this)
In this case I'd like it to return just Jim Smith's name because he's the only userID who has two ClassID entries.
So far I've come up with
select UserId, count(*) as MultipleClasses
from classes
group by UserID
having count(*) > 1;
which outputs the UserID and a colum called MultipleClasses with how many classes each ID returned has.
how would I do something like
Select firtname, lastname
from users
where Userid=
The output from that initial bit finding users with multiple classes.
