Searching In Tables

Dec 8, 2004

Hi All,








Just wanted to run this idea past u all before I have a go at it.





I have two tables A & B that are similar to the below








Table A


Name1 Name2 Name3


Tom Bill John


Gary Harry Eric








TableB


Name1 Name2 Name3


John Bill Tom


Tom Eric john


Leslie Philip Colin








What I wanted to do is see if the the records from tableA row 1 exist in tableB





As you can see they can appear in any order, partially or not at all.





What I propose to do is take tableA Name1 and see if it matches tableb row1 name 1 OR name 2 OR name 3 and if I find a match use a variable to assign the the value 1 (so I can then see if the match is full (score three) partial socre 1 and two or not at all (0)





Then I will need do the same for tableA row 2





Then goto row 2 of table a and start again.





Does this make sense? Are there beter ways of doing this.





I am using SQL server to do the searching....?





All comments appreciated and welcome.

Searching Tables

Jun 3, 2008

This subject probably isn't correct, but I'm not sure how else to describe what I want to do.

I have two tables.
Table 1:
Act_Num.....Code
1...........33
2...........23
3...........22
4...........26
5...........20

Table 2:
Part_ID.....Act_Listings
1927..........33 14
5819..........23 26

What I need to do is identify records from Table 2 that do not have an Activity in the Act_Listing field contained in Table 1. So for Part_ID=1927, code 33 exists in Table 1, but code 14 doesn't, so that record should be selected.

Searching Thru Stored Procs Via The Sys Tables

Sep 3, 2003

Basically, I want to be able to have a stored procedure that will search through all the stored procedures looking for a given string and returning the names of all the stored procs that contain that string value.

I know I can script it off and then do a text search in Notepad or whatever, but I figured there must be a more elegant way to do it. More than likely dealing with the DB sys tables.

Is there already a tool in SQL Server that does this? Or has anybody had a chance to roll their own?

Thanks,
Tim

Searching A List Of Tables, Derived From Another Table

Sep 21, 2005

Relative SQL newbie here......this is probably easy, but....Lets say I have a table (MainTable) that stores a list of input table names,a primary key (PKey), and a field called "Configured" for each one. Each ofthese input tables also contain a field called "Configured", which is set totrue or false in another process based on an OrderNumber. (So an order'sinputs are stored in several input tables, and the MainTable is a summarytable that shows which input tables have been configured for any givenOrderNumber).What I need to do is open each input table, and look for a record containinga specific OrderNumber and where Configured=true. If a record is found, Ineed to update the Configured field for that table in the MainTable, andthen move on to the next sub-table.The way I'm doing it now is with simple SQL and loops. Here is the basiccode (ASP):*****************************************OrderNumber = "562613" ' the current order that is being processed' reset all configured flagssql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 0"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080' get list of all tablenamessql = "SELECT InputTableName, PKey FROM MainTable WHERE InputTableName <>'---'"set rsTableNames = conn.execute(sql)while not rsTableNames.eof' test each input table for configured flagsql = "SELECT Configured FROM " & rsTableNames("InputTableName")& _" WHERE Configured = 1 AND OrderNumber = '" & OrderNumber &"'"set rs = conn.execute(sql)If Not rs.EOF Then' update the main tablesql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 1 WHERE PKey='" &rsTableNames("PrimaryKey") & "'"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080end ifset rs = nothingrsTableNames.movenextwend*****************************************There has to be a faster way.. I think.... maybe something that could bewritten as a stored procedure? I use a similar technique in a couple ofother places and it's a bit of a performance hit, especially as the numberof input tables grows.TIA!Calan

Need Some Help In Searching

May 8, 2004

Dear ASP.NET

How can I find records that contain a STRING from some (more than one) other fields ?

for example, I have:

Name_First = "aaa"
Name_Middle = "bbb"
Name_Last = "ccc"

Key_Words = "aaa,bbb,ccc"
(includes all values - comma separated)

How can I do the SELECT so that when I search for "bbb" on Key_Words I will get my record ?

Should I use "LIKE %aaa%" or something like this ?
(should I keep the comma separators ?)


Thanks in advance, Yovav.

Searching With LIKE

Feb 13, 2006

Let say a user wants to search for the name Joe Soap

I have two column's in my table, firstname and lastname

So if I do:


Code:


SELECT firstname, lastname FROM table WHERE firstname LIKE '%Joe Soap%' OR lastname LIKE '%Joe Soap%'



it returns nothing! So do I have to split the string Joe Soap or something ?

my app use a registration table

StudReg
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stRegDt smalldatetime,
stRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)


the application registers the student details to a course.
each student gets a new registration no during registration.

the app should identify repeaters to a particular course by checking another
table RegHistory, which stores the details of student registrations for the previous 5 years.

RegHistory
(
stName varchar(30),
stDOB smalldatetime,
stGuardianName varchar(30),
stPrevRegDt smalldatetime,
stPrevRegNo bigint,
courseId smallint
)


the application must search the RegHistory table and list out those students who are the repeaters.


the sample entries in the two tables are as follows

StudReg
stName stDOB stGuardianName stRegDt stRegNo courseid
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2004 12345 1
def 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2004 12346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...

mno 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2004 12400 1



RegHistory

stName stDOB stGuardianName stPrevRegDt stPrevRegNo courseId
abc 01/01/1979 def 20/11/2001 2345 1
ghi 01/01/1976 xyz 20/11/2001 2346 1
... ..... ... ...... .... ...

dfg 24/18/1976 pqr 20/11/2001 2400 1


to determine whether a student is a repeater or not, we have to search for an exact match in RegHistory table (where the student name, guardian name and date of birth in both tables match with the corresponding entries in Registration table).


here is my question,

if there are 100,000 students registering in each academic year, we will have
500,000 records in RegHistory Table and 100,000 records in studReg table

if i start searching for a repeater, i guess i will have to loop through all records in studReg, for an exact match in RegHistory, which wil be a time consuming process.

is there any other options to search for repeaters ?

XML And Searching

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,I have come to point in my db design where I'm trying to figure whichis the best approach in making it generic (does this really matter?!?)Senario - I have a table called JOBS and this table contains fieldsuch as JobTitle, JobDescription, Salary etcI want to add to this table other attributes which are specific to acertain Job Industries.Solution - Add a join table for each type of industry containingattributes (db is now not generic) OR add a new table with a IndustryType field and a XML field containing the industry specificattributes.If I go the XML way will this just make it complex and slow to query?If not, what is the best way to query an XML field?Thanks,Jack

Best Searching Criteria

Sep 30, 2007

I have a table
 GO
 CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Speech] (  [SpeechId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PkSpeech_SpeechId PRIMARY KEY,  [UniqueName] [varchar](52) NOT NULL,  [NativeName] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL,  [Place] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL,  [Type] [smallint] NOT NULL,  [LanguageId] [char](2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_LanguageId FOREIGN KEY (LanguageId) REFERENCES Language(LanguageId) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,  [SpeakerId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_SpeakerId FOREIGN KEY (SpeakerId) REFERENCES Speaker(SpeakerId) ON DELETE CASCADE,  [IsFavorite] [bit] NOT NULL,  [IsVisible] [bit] NOT NULL,  [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(),  [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NULL )
Now I want to search the Table Speech
Sometimes by : SpeechIdSometimes by : SpeakerIdSometimes by : LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeechId And LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeakerId And LanguageId
All can have conditions with IsVisible, IsFavorite and Type columns.
for example
I need all Speeches withany particular SpeakerId and LanguageIdwith IsVisible equals to trueand IsFvaorite No Matterand Type equals to Audio
For these type of queries I think the solution is
GO
 CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sprocGetSpeech]
  @speechId int = NULL,  @uniqueName varchar(52) = NULL,  @nativeName nvarchar(52) = NULL,  @place nvarchar(52) = NULL,  @type smallint = NULL,  @languageId char(2) = NULL,  @speakerId int = NULL,  @isFavorite bit = NULL,  @isVisible bit = NULL
 AS
  SELECT   SpeechId,   UniqueName,   NativeName,   Place,   Type,   LanguageId,   SpeakerId,   IsFavorite,   IsVisible,   CreatedDate,   ModifiedDate  FROM   Speech  WHERE   SpeechId = @speechId   AND UniqueName = CASE WHEN @uniqueName IS NULL THEN [UniqueName] ELSE @uniqueName END   AND NativeName = CASE WHEN @nativeName IS NULL THEN [NativeName] ELSE @NativeName END   AND Place = CASE WHEN @place IS NULL THEN [Place] ELSE @place END   AND Type = CASE WHEN @type IS NULL THEN [Type] ELSE @type END   AND LanguageId = CASE WHEN @languageId IS NULL THEN [LanguageId] ELSE @languageId END   AND SpeakerId = CASE WHEN @speakerId IS NULL THEN [SpeakerId] ELSE @speakerId END   AND IsFavorite = CASE WHEN @isFavorite IS NULL THEN [IsFavorite] ELSE @isFavorite END   AND IsVisible = CASE WHEN @isVisible IS NULL THEN [IsVisible] ELSE @isVisible END
Can anyone tell me?
Is it right way to do?Do you have any better solution?If my solution is better then Is there any performance loss with that query?

Text Searching

Jun 29, 2005

Hi again!

I have a products table with product attributes in a second table,
together they describe a full product.  I have a product title, a
list of providers, description text, and keywords.  I would like
to do a search across these fields, and so far my research has shown
that the Full Text Search component of SQL Server is the way to
go.  However, I am not sure this will be possible based on what is
installed on the hosted server, so I am wondering if there is a unique,
cool way of doing this without Full Text Search?

Thanks,

Question About Searching

Mar 31, 2002

I'm quite new to SQL, just wondering is there a way to search
the entire database (instead of a table using select) for something?
Say I create a new database to keep track of my CDs. A new table is
created in this database for each CD, and of course each row of this
table represents one track. Is there a way, either using tsql or through
the enterprise manager or query analyzer, to say list all songs that are
sung by a singer with the first name "John"?

I've tried the object finder in query analyzer, doesn't quite work.
I'm looking for something like

select * from *
where singerfirstname = 'John'

This of course doesn't work...
please help! Thanks so much in advance!

Searching Through DTS Packages?

Jul 10, 2006

I'm trying to find out what modifies a certain table (yay for more debugging without documentation). Using some TSQL provided by a friend, I've searched through the stored procedures, and I've searched through the various pages in the web app, but the only references to the table are updates and selects (not inserts).

The table itself is intended as an archive for another table.

Unfortunatly, the documention for this web app is worthless, and the code has little to no comments to boot.

Is there any way to search through DTS packages aside from opening them each individually and looking at the parts?

Searching For Whole Words?

Dec 21, 2005

How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.

For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.


SELECT Name, Description
FROM tblWine
WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'


Any ideas?
