I am a little stomped and wandering if someone might have an idea how
to go about doing this.
following on from this guide
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/031004-1.shtml on matching a
comma-delimited string, I would like to expand on this and match two
comma-delimited string in a sproc.
In my database, table A have a city field containing a comma delimited
string ie 'sydney, new york, chicago'. I am passing a similar
comma-delimited string to a sproc and returning matcheing id.
so, we have table A:
id/city
1/sydney, new york, chicago
2/new york, san antonio
3/beijing, sydney
4/london,beijing
passing string 'sydney, new york'
need to return: id 1,2,3 (1,2 match new york and 1,3 matching sydney)
I have tables and a function as representated by the code below. The names for objects here are just for representation and not the actual names of objects. Table RDTEST may have one or multiple values for RD for each PID. So the function GIVERD will return one or multiple values of RD for each value of PID passed to it.
When I run the following query, I get the required result except the rows for CID 500 for which PID is NULL in table T1. I want the rows for CID 500 as well with PID values as NULL.
SELECT A.CID, A.ANI, A.PID, B.RD FROM T1 AS A CROSS APPLY GIVERD(A.PID) B
I have a situation where I want to pull strings from one table of a SQL 2000database and find matches for it in other tables of the same database andhave those values returned. i.e. In one table I have prospects and I wantto match their names to a table that stores the names of prospects turnedinto customers. I want to write a query that looks through every entry andreturns a match for each corresponding value (from prospects to customers).So if "Smith" is found in prospects I want SQL to return "Smith" incustomers with full contact info.Any pointers on getting started on this is greatly appreciated. Or if youcould just point me to a reference. Obviously, I need to do some kind ofparsing. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.Thx.
I want to know that how can i write a stored procedure that takes an input param, i.e., a string and returns the count of the matching words between the input parameter and the value of a column in a table. e.g. I have a table Person with a column address. now my stored procedure matches and counts the number of words that are common between the address of the person and the input param string. I am looking forward for any help in this matter. I am using Sql server 2005.
Will the fuzzy grouping task match a null value to an empty string (or spaces)? I've got 5 columns I'm matching on, and one of them may be null for certain rows but an empty string for others. Given the 4 other columns may match, will this difference stop similar columns being grouped together?
(Someone's modified my grouped data since it was deduped, which takes a while, and I'm hoping for a quick answer on this).
IS there a way to combine all matching rows in a table so that itoutputs as one row, for example:tblMyStuffUniqueID int IDENTITYParentID intSomeSuch nvarchar(50)SomeSuch2 nvarchar(50)Table data:UniqueID ParentID SomeSuch SomeSuch21 1 Dog Bark2 1 Cat Meow3 3 Cow Moo4 3 Horse Whinnie5 5 Pig OinkDesired query result from Query:SELECT ??? as myText from tblMyStuff WHERE ParentID = 3myText = Cow Moo, Horse WhinnieHelp is appreciated,lq
I want to check for multiple patterns in a particular column. For one pattern I can write e.g. SELECT * FROM <TablName> WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%abcd%'.
My requirment is to select all rows for which column value matches with many patterns.I will fetch the patterns in a subquery e.g. (SELECT '%'+name+'%' FROM <TableName>)
update wce_contact set blank = 'missing' where website in ('www.name1.co.uk','www.name2.co.uk','www.name3.co.uk')
I know this query will set 'blank' to missing when it matches the above websites. However if i wanted to set blank to 'missing' where mail1date is not null and mail2date is not null (keep going to mail18date not null) how exactly would i go about this?
I guess it would be a case of adding another bracket somewhere but im unsure?
we are using SSRS 2012.Oracle 9i as back end database. Select A,B,C from view where A in (Param1) in above query when I am passing 1 value getting output in 30 sec. when I passed two values getting time out error in SSRS. how to pass multiple values in Oracle 9i in SSRS report.
I've got a GridView, a datasource, 2 textboxes and a button. If I choose to bind the GridView to the datasource the correct data is shown. But if I modify the datasource and chooses the TextBoxes as Parameter Controls it doesn't work out as I expected. Can I please have a step-by-step response which will work? And expecially if one if the TextBoxes eguals nothing/null. Because this is very important, too, and that part doesn't work either.
I have a need to concatenate all Descriptions from a select statementSELECTt_ReviewSection.PeerRevSectionDescriptionFROMt_ReviewSectionWHEREt_ReviewSection.PeerRevID = @lngRevIDORDER BYt_ReviewSection.PeerRevSectionOrderI want to return a single string "section1, section2, section3, section4"based on the multiple rows returned.Any ideas
Dear All I have a table Roles with columns(RoleId,Rolename) I have another table userrole with columns(userid,roleid)
I need to retrieve the roleids when rolenames(multiple strings in csv format) are passed. The stored procedure is as follows create procedure GetRoleIds(@Rolenames varchar(200),@RoleIds int output) as begin end declare @roleidlist int Exec GetRoleIds 'Admin,Manager,Developer',@roleidlist output print @roleidlist
I am pretty new to reporting software and I was just wondering in reporting services 2005 when working with multiple datasets and data connection string in order to populate text boxes if the data is a number it is prefixed with SUM at the start of the expression and if it is text it is prefixed with FIRST even though it is just for one value.
I was wondering if this is normal or have I messed up somewhere?
I'm would like to replace all occurrences of "99999" and "-99999" with "" in a column using SSIS. I can use the REPLACE function in a Derived Column to replace one of those strings, for example: REPLACE(mycolumn,"99999",""). Or to replace both I could use REPLACE(REPLACE(mycolumn,"-99999",""),"99999",""). This seems kind of cumbersome and would get very complicated if I were replacing more strings with "". I'm guessing there is a better way. Can anyone help me out?
Hi everyone - I'm getting myself into a right muddle and am looking for advice.
How do people deal with connection string matters when taking a dataset defined in one assembly (and by default using the connection strings defined within that assembly in the settings files) and then using that assembly in an app (which also has a requirement to see the same physical database).
I'm not sure I've explained that terribly well but what I'm trying to avoid is duplicate copies of my database which so far seems to be the only way that I've managed to make stuff work. I'm not very experienced with SSCE data access (I'm a serices/sockets/ip person) and this may just be ignorance. Most of the examples seem to assume that the data is in the same place as the app whereas I'm trying to collate a whole series of functions into a helper assembly that I'd like to re-use for other things.
Ideally the dataset designer would provide an easy way of choosing from centralised connection strings - perhaps this is what the Dataset Project implies - but again the docs are mostly focused on SQL Server? Otherwise the best I've been able to do is make the connection properties public and try to update them that way or use a post-build action to copy the database from my datalayer project directory to that of my application |DataDirectory|
I suppose the question might be if you have a dataset containing multiple tableadapters that assumes one connection string, is there any easy way to keep such strings co-ordinated between projects without hardcoding them? With a server resource, the same non-specific connection string resolves to the same server (if that make sense) and this seems to be were I can't make the logical shift.
Does anyone have any thoughts and can they please point this SSCE noob in the right direction?
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.
Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't... I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it. So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need. Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like: DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great. Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out... SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT) Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try: SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT) Syntax Error. Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function? SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine. So my questions are: Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it? Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function? Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround: DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000) SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable')) SELECT * FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
I'm studying for the MCDBA test & understand table valued functions but am struggling to find a good use for them... can anyone explain to me why you'd want to use one over a view?
i have given two functions - table valued and scaler valued
when select * from table_func('') i m getting results..
but in select * from scalar_func('') it gives error - invalid object name, while i have both scripts open in same database but still from one func it gives results and from another it gives error..
so can anyone tell me plz. what should i do to see results from scalar func
I am new to writing table-valued user defined function, so this might be a 'Duh' question. I am trying to write a table-valued UDF that has to return multiple rows. How do I do this?
i have a report that can show upto 8 charts, dependant on the selection(s) made in a multi-valued parameter.
basically, the report gets loads of data back from DataCube.
if the user has selected (for example) 2 categories in the multi-valued parameter (e.g. "beverages" & "confectionary") , the the first chart will show the results filtered for "beverages" and the second chart will show the results for the "confectionary" category.
but
i want to hide any charts that are not used - i.e. the user only selects 3 categories, i want to show 3 and hide 5 charts and am trying to do this with IIF in the FILTER properties of the chart
so for each chart, i am checking to see if a Category selection has been made for that chart - and if it has, filter the results and display the chart. if no selection has been made, then filter the results for "XXXXX" (no data with this category)
am doing this by trying to get the selected value or "xxxxx" if noting selected
to hide the second chart when only one category has been selected, tried
But it works fine when there are > 2 categories selected
also
this works fine when there is 2 or >2 category selected
=iif(
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.count>2,
"more than 2",
"not more than 2")
it would appear that IIF is trying to evaluate the TRUE condition(Parameters!HydraCORELOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.Label(2)) even though the condition is false !!!
Hi I am writting Stored Procedures that have to be built on the base of other tables specially created for this purpose, is it better to create these intermediate tables as views or as functions returning tables? I guess views would be lighter on performance as they would not be created on the fly?
I'm getting syntax errors that just aren't helping me at all, so I thought maybe what I'm trying to do can't be done. I'm creating a UDF with 4 parameters, and I want it to return a result set (i.e. a table). But I want a different result set depending upon the value of one of the parameters. This works totally fine as a SP, but I can't tell where to put the RETURN clause(s) on the UDF. I've got: CREATE FUNCTION myFunction(@param1,...,@param4) RETURNS TABLE AS BEGIN IF @param1='x' BEGIN RETURN(SELECT columns FROM TableX) END ELSE BEGIN RETURN(SELECT columns FROM TableY) END END I get an "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'" error. I also tried using just one RETURN() wrapped around the outside of the IF construction (right after the very first BEGIN and before the last END), but to no avail. I get no errors when I run this logic as an SP. Is this type of construct not allowed in a UDF? Is there an alternative? I can't just leave this as a proc because I'm going to have to call these results from several views. Help!
Here's my function. The trouble - I can not make ORDER BY the "visits_count", "properties_count", "enquiries_count" fields. May be some one could help me with this?

Help! Been doing the box step with BOL for several hours , Using tables in Adventureworks to create inline-table-valued function to provide a parameterized view of three JOINS - Have sucessfully created the function but can't figure out where to 'Declare' my variable "@SalesAgentID" need to be able to invoke the function with a particular ID - If you can help me cut this dance short I would REALLY Appreciate it.
I want to join a table valued function but function parameter should left joined table's primary key .... this is posible in oracle by pipeline method .. eg.. SELECT A.Col1,A.Col2,B.Col1,B.Col2 FROM Tab As A LEFT OUTER JOIN TblFunction(A.Pkey) B ON A.Col1 = B.Col1
Is there a way to create a trigger directly on an inline or multi-line tablevalue function?I am trying to create a quick-and-dirty application using an Access DataProject front-end with SQL 2000 SP3 EE.Thanks.
