I need to update the status_date field in the journal table with the most recent status_date value in the transactions_batch_tmp.status_date column. However, when I run this query I get a syntax error: An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement.
UPDATE journal SET status_date = max(tmp.status_date) FROM transactions_batch_tmp tmp, contacts c, products p WHERE c.emailaddress = 'test@yahoo.com' AND c.contact_id = j.contact_id AND j.product_code = 'EAENERGY' AND j.product_code = p.product_code

OK, the problem is that if a run the below query in server01, i get error 512:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
But, if run the same query in the server02, the query work fine -.
I know that I can use IN, EXISTS, TOP, etc ... but I need understand this behavior.
I am trying to add the results of both of these queries together:
The purpose of the first query is to find the number of nulls in the TimeZone column.
Query 1:
SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename
The purpose of the second query is to find results in the AAST, AST, etc timezones.
Query 2:
SELECT COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')
Note: both queries produce a whole number with no decimals. Ran individually both queries produce accurate results. However, what I would like is one query which produced a single INT by adding both results together. For example, if Query 1 results to 5 and query 2 results to 10, I would like to see a single result of 15 as the output.
What I came up with (from research) is:
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST'))
I get a msq 102, level 15, state 1 error.
I also tried
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone) FROM tablename WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')) as IVR_HI_n_AK_results
but I still get an error. For the exact details see:

NOTE: the table in query 1 and query 2 are the same table. I am using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
Hello, Here is the below query I am running at server A and getting this below error. If I am running the same query in Server B and running fine without any error. My question is do I need to do any server configuration?. Or any solution for this issue. I really appreciate your help. Thanks, Ravii

I am using SQL Server 2000. I have a somewhat large query and hope someone could help me with it. (Man, there needs to be a way to use colors...) The bolded parts of the query need to be replaced by the underlined part. I can't say 'b.HW' because of the scope of the inline query and that they are all on the same level.

I have some relatively simple SQL that acts differently between SQL Server 2000 and 2005. Although it is easy to fix I'd like to know if this difference is expected (documented) or a bug, and if there is perhaps a setting/switch I can use to avoid a code review of hundreds of stored procs to look for similar scenarios.

I am trying to get a date diff in a named calculation using inner join I am getting
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. #
I have checked online and have been able to get some of my codes right by using the where condition in place of the inner join, but I have not been able to work around the datediff one
(select DATEDIFF(day,TDate,[DID]) FROM [dv].[dbo].[Dail] as D inner join [dv].[dbo].[ANT] as A on a.AID = d.AID)
I am attempting to Insert multiple rows in a table by passing DataTable to a Stored Proc. My code is the same as the examples on the net, however when I execute the code I receive the Subquery returned more than 1 value error.
I first created up a User-Defined Table Type
My stored proc is as follows:
ALTER PROCEDURE [KCC].[Insert_MaterialJobMtl] @MtlTblMaterialType READONLY AS BEGIN Set NOCOUNT ON;
DOC_NO // REV_NO // FILE_NAME ABC123 // A // abc123.pdf ABC123 // B // abc123_2.docx ABC124 // A // abc124.xlsx ABC124 // A // - ABC125 // A // abc125.docx ABC125 // C // abc125.jpg ABC125 // C // abc125.docx ABC125 // C // - ABC126 // 0 // - ABC127 // A1 // abc127.xlsx ABC127 // A1 // abc127.pdf
I'm looking to select all rows where the DOC_NO and REV_NO appear only once.(i.e. the combination of the two values together, not any distinct value in a column)
I have written the sub query to filter the correct results;
SELECT DOC_NO, REV_NO FROM [MYTABLE] GROUP BY DOC_NO, REV_NO HAVING COUNT(*) =1
I now need to strip out the records which have no file (represented as "-" in the FILE_NAME field) and select the other fields (same table - for example, lets just say "ADD1", "ADD2" and "ADD3")
I was looking to put together a query like;
SELECT DOC_NO, REV_NO, FILE_NAME, ADD1, ADD2, ADD3 FROM [MYTABLE] WHERE FILE_NAME NOT LIKE '-' AND DOC_NO IN (SELECT DOC_NO, REV_NO FROM [MYTABLE] GROUP BY DOC_NO, REV_NO HAVING COUNT(*) =1)
But of course, DOC_NO alone being in the subquery select is not sufficient, as (ABC125 /A) is a unique combination, but (ABC125 /C) is not, but these results would be pulled in.
I also cannot simply add an additional "AND" clause on its own to make sure the REV_NO value appears in the subquery, because it is highly repetitive and would have to specifically match the DOC_NO)
What is the easiest way of ensuring that I only pull in the records where both the DOC_NO and REV_NO (combination) are unique, or is there a better way of putting this select together altogether?

'D7FBD152-F7AE-449C-A875-C85B5F6BB462')
What settings or whatever would cause this to take so much longer from the linked server?
Edit: Note) Other queries from the linked server do not have this behavior. From the stored procedure where we have examined how long each query/update takes... this particular query is the culprit for the time eating. I thought it was to do specefically with this table. However as stated when a query window is opened directly onto that server the update takes no time at all.
2nd Edit: Could it be to do with this linked server setting? Collation Compatible right now it is set to false? I also asked this question in a message below, but figured I should put it up here.
I am hoping someone can shed light on this odd behavior I am seeing running a simple UPDATE statement on a table in SQL Server 2000. I have 2 tables - call them Table1 and Table2 for now (among many) that need to have certain columns updated as part of a single transaction process. Each of the tables has many columns. I have purposely limited the target column for updating to only ONE of the columns in trying to isolate the issue. In one case the UPDATE runs fine against Table1... at runtime in code and as a manual query when run in QueryAnalyzer or in the Query window of SSManagementStudio - either way it works fine. However, when I run the UPDATE statement against Table2 - at runtime I get rowsaffected = 0 which of course forces the code to throw an Exception (logically). When I take out the SQL stmt and run it manually in Query Analyzer, it runs BUT this is the output seen in the results pane... (0 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) How does on get 2 answers for one query like this...I have never seen such behavior and it is a real frustration ... makes no sense. There is only ONE row in the table that contains the key field passed in and it is the same key field value on the other table Table1 where the SQL returns only ONE message (the one you expect) (1 row(s) affected) If anyone has any ideas where to look next, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE
