I am working on a company sign out sheet for our Intranet. The application accesses a sql database. I tried using a datareader as well as a dataset to access a small piece of information regarding the group that each employee belongs to in the company. My last attempt was to assign the value to the text property of a text box and evaluate the text from the text box with the Select Case but that did not work either.The application is supposed to generate an email to our receptionist as well as to the group technical assistant responsible for each group according to the value that is passed into the Select Case statement. With the datareader as well as the dataset and even now with creating a text box and accessing the text property, I was able to assign the group value to a variable (I can see the value in the subject of the email), but when the variable is supposed to be evaluated by the select case statement it skips right through all of the cases to case else and uses only the receptionist's address in the email as if it doesn't even see the value of the variable. I have searched for a possible answer to the problem I am but so far have had no luck. Any ideas? I included the part of the code that I am having trouble with: '********************************************************************************************' New DataSet is created to determine the group the employee belongs to so that the appropriate' group technical assistant is emailed when employee signs out'******************************************************************************************** ' declare variablesDim sqlGroup As String ' string variable to store sql statement for datasetDim BLGroup As String ' string variable to store the bl group of the employeeDim emailAddress As String ' string variable to store resulting email address Dim groupDS As DataSet ' dataset variableDim groupAdapter As SqlDataAdapter ' sql data adapter variable' sql statement to access group value from the databasesqlGroup = "SELECT BLGroup FROM BLGroupsView WHERE (RTRIM(fname) + ' ' + LTRIM(lname)='" & employee & "')" ' repopen the connection (leftover from working with the datareader)Connection.Open()' create new SqlDataAdapter applying sql statement and connectiongroupAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlGroup, Connection)' create new dataset groupDS = New DataSet()' populate the datasetgroupAdapter.Fill(groupDS, "BLGroupsView") ' get the value stored in the BLGroup column (only one row is returned at a time) BLGroup = groupDS!BLGroup' Create GroupTextBox TextBox control.Dim GroupTextBox As New TextBox()' Set options for the UserTextBox TextBox control.GroupTextBox.ID = "GroupTextBox"GroupTextBox.Visible = "False"GroupTextBox.Text = BLGroup' just trying anything with this next line, even when i didn't set this the select case statement did not seem to see the value returned by the variableGroupTextBox.runat = "server" ' use a select case statement to evaluate the value of the group (didn't work when I passed in the BLGroup variable eitherSelect Case GroupTextBox.TextCase "bh"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; bhassistant@myaddress.com"Case "env"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; envassistant@myaddress.com"Case "sw"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; swassistant@myaddress.com"Case "fac"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; facassistant@myaddress.com"Case "www"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; wwwassistant@myaddress.com"Case ElseemailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com"End Select '*************************************************************************************************' set new message objectDim myMessage As System.Web.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()'**********************************************************' set message properties'********************************************************** myMessage.From = "me@myaddress.com"myMessage.To = emailAddressmyMessage.Subject = employee & " Signing Out at " & TimeOut.Text & " " & BLGroupmyMessage.Body = employee & " Signing Out at " & TimeOut.Text & " for " & Destination.Text & " will potentially return at " & EstTimeIn.Text'***********************************************************' set smtp server namesmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mailserver1"' send email using smtpsmtpMail.Send(myMessage) It sends the message and returns the BLGroup value everytime but only sends to the receptionist.

How would I write a select statement that would return multiple fields in a records based on a a distinct of one of those fiels.
Example
Table Name : Sales Table Field Name : Name Address Phone Zip Sale Rec1: Peter Smith 12 Market St 999-999-9999 12345 99.99 Rec2: John Jones 73 Broadway 999-999-8888 12345 12.34 Rec3: Charle Brown 42 Peanuts Ave 999-999-7777 12345 34.56 Rec4: Peter Smith 12 Market St 999-999-6666 12345 67.89 Rec5: John Jone 73 Broadway 999-999-5555 12345 36.52
How would I be able to return the columns Name Address and Phone based on the distinct of Name.
Currently I have a standard query with a join to several tables. There are two additional tables MAS_CTB and MAS_STB. I would like to do a union between those two tables to get FIELDVALUE which will exist in either the CTB table or the STB table and then have that value be returned with the results of the original query.
I can of course write a UNION from the main query to the CTB and then to the STB table, however it's about 80 dummy fields I would have to replicate in the union which is why I was wondering if there was a more simple way.
Main Query: SELECT Field1, Field2...Field80 From Table1 Join Table2
Union Portion: Select FieldValue <------ From MAS_CTB UNION Select FieldValue <-----Return to main query above From MAS_STB
I am trying to exclude patients from a dataset. There are multiple records per patid in this dataset. I have the following code:
SELECT meds.PATID, meds.MEDICATION, meds.MEDTYPE FROM meds INNER JOIN patient ON meds.PATID = patient.PATID WHERE (((meds.MEDTYPE) Not In ("FI (Fusion Inhibitor)","NNUC (","Non-nucleoside","NRTI & NNUC","NRTI (Nucleoside/tide Rev","PI (Protease Inhibitor)")));
I want to exclude all patient records if the patient had any of the above exclusions ever. If they have the exclusion if one record get rid of the rest of the records for that patient. Right now the code only excludes the particular record.
I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer. Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16). Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned. If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. 1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3. string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5. DataSet dsMarketList = new DataSet();6. SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(intranetConnStr); 7. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlConn);8. sqlConn.Open();9. SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10. try11. {12. adapter.Fill(dsMarketList); 13. String bling = adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText;//BRG 14. dsMarketList.DataSetName="RegionMarket"; 15. dsMarketList.Tables[0].TableName = "MarketList"; 16. dsMarketList.WriteXml(Server.MapPath ("myXMLFile.xml" )); // The data written to 17. myXMLFile.xml is not the same data that is returned when I run the query on line 3&4 18. // from the SQL query 19. } 20. catch(Exception e) 21. { 22. // Handle the exception (Code not shown)
In one of my projects, i have been using the SSRS web service to render a report as pdf and then manually emailing it out.
I need to know whether the data set for the report returned any data or not (so that i can avoid emailing the report with a blank report body).
Ofcource this can be done by executing the same query (same as the query for the report) from C# code and checking the count of the resultset, before calling the SSRS Render method. But it might not be an efficient method.
Was wondering the the SSRS Web Service provides an property or method that can let me figure out whether the resultset was empty or not (after the report execution).
How can I write a query to return the results for a given survey for all members (including members who have not given responses) given the surveyID.
In the [SurveyQuestionMemberReponse] table I record survey results for any members who have answered the survey. However, if a member has not responsed to the survey they will not have a record in this table.
I want to return a list of members with their response to each question in the survey. If a member has not given a response I would like to indicate they have not responded to the survey and they should still appear in the list.
When I attempt to write a query to UNION the results of a query aimed at gathering all of the results in the [SurveyQuestionMemberReponse] to all of the people in the [Members] table I recieve an error when I include the questionText field in my result set.
The error indicates:
The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable.
Can someone please point me in the right direction. I suspect I am going about this all wrong.
[NOTE] The 'surveyType' in the [Surveys] table indicates which subset of members a given Survey should be available to. For this example let's just assume that every survey should belong to all members.
I would like to make a listbox only appear if there are results returned by the SQL select statement. I want this to be assessed on a click event of a button before the listbox is rendered.I obviously use the ".visible" property, but how do I assess the returned records is zero before it is rendered?
I¡¦ve got a table with the following as well as other info:

Hi all, I am writing a select query which produces huge xml data.Now i want to read that data from my web application a save it as xml file. How can i do that. I am using asp.net vb.net.
is there no a way to determine if a SqlCeDataReader has managed to return data (rows) from an executed SQL SELECT statement? I ask this because I have the following problem where I first need to determine if data (rows) are returned, if so, cycle through them and get the data out. But if I do the test to determine if data is returned (like I have in my code below) then the Reader.Read() is classed as reading a row, so when I do my 'while (Reader.Read())' this will then only work with data in the 2nd row. if (Reader.Read()){ while (Reader.Read()) { //Get data from rows }}
I recall having this issue before as there doesn't seem to be a standard way of testing for data returned from a SELECT statement. I hope you can shed some light on this for me.
I have a query that returns results based on information in several tables. The problem I am having is that is there are no records in the one table it doesn't return any information at all. This table may not have any information initially for the employees so I need to show results whether or not there is anything in this one table. Here is my select statement: SELECT employee.emp_id, DATEDIFF(mm, employee.emp_begin_accrual, GETDATE()) * employee.emp_accrual_rate - (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken FROM request) AS daysleft, employee.emp_lname + ', ' + employee.emp_fname + ' ' + employee.emp_minitial + '.' AS emp_name, department.department_name, location.location_name FROM employee INNER JOIN request AS request_1 ON employee.emp_id = request_1.emp_id INNER JOIN department ON employee.emp_department = department.department_id INNER JOIN location ON department.department_location = location.location_id GROUP BY employee.emp_id, employee.emp_begin_accrual, employee.emp_accrual_rate, employee.emp_fname, employee.emp_minitial, employee.emp_lname, department.department_name, location.location_name ORDER BY location.location_name, department.department_name, employee.emp_lname
The section below is the part that may or may not contain information: SELECT (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken FROM request) AS daysleft
So I need it to return results whether this sub query has results or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA
I have a SP that return a dataset and I was thinking to execute that SP inside of other SP then catch the dataset to put into a variable or put into a temp table. What I know is you can not use recordset on output and input parameter in SP correct me if im wrong. I'm just wondering if I there is a work around in this scenario.
I'm using a SqlDataSource with a GridView to look at the contents of a table. I'd like to display the number of rows returned by the query in a label above the grid. How do I get a hold of this value? I can't find where it's exposed through the DataSource or the Grid. I can get the number of rows in the currently displayed page, but that's not the value I'm after.
A table gets data every 4 minutes, I only need spread of every 15 minutes. Can I select only records spread every 15 minutes apart from this table without having to run a scheduled job every 15 minutes and loading one record closest to getdate() at that point into another table(this is how I am doing it now) Is there a better way. Please help Thanks
I have a MS Access database (mdb) containing the following tables:
Crime
Criminal
CrimeCommitted
Hideout
CriminalType
The Criminal table contains information about each criminal and the CrimeCommitted table contains information about the specific crimes. I've written the following query to return only the latest crime committed by each criminal:
Code Snippet
SELECT Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType, Max(CrimeComitted.Date) AS Last_Crime_Comitted FROM Criminal INNER JOIN CrimeComitted ON Criminal.CriminalID=CrimeComitted.CriminalID GROUP BY Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType;
This query works fine for obtaining the Criminal table data, but once i've include CrimeCommitted.Country in the SELECT statement, the data returned contained all the crimes committed by each criminal (i just need the latest crime).
The query doesn't work when another table, other than Criminal, is selected. How can i obtain the columns in the CrimeCommitted table in this query?
I have a web page that has been in production for over a year. On occasion the web app users report sporadic errors which last a few minutes then go away. The page loads up a generic DataSet, and then that DataSet is assigned to a datagrid on the page. The error is that a column that is expected to be in the dataset is not found. I know this column must exist in the database because its a required field. After we reset IIS, then all returns to normal and the errors go away. Below is the stack trace. Exception: System.IndexOutOfRangeException Message: Cannot find column LastName.

I do not understand why resetting IIS helps the issue. I need to find the real cause of the problems rather than just resetting IIS all the time. Any ideas?

I have an existing call to a webservice that updates an MDB with data from a dataset. I was now moving to a process using SQL Compact Edition sdf instead of an mdb.
I belive I have to DROP/Truncate the table in the SDF file, then create a new table then somehow insert the results of the retrieved dataset into the new table. DOes anybody have any pointers to help me out?
Here is my old way of doing it, using access.
Thanks.

I have a query which wants to union join the data. no matter how many times I tried, I got an error. How to change my union query?

I'm running the following SQL query from LabVIEW, a graphical programming language, using the built in capabilities it has for database connectivity:
   DECLARE @currentID int    SET @currentID = (SELECT MIN(ExperimentID) FROM Jobs_t WHERE JobStatus = 'ToRun');    UPDATE [dbo].[Jobs_t]    SET [JobStatus] = 'Pending'    WHERE ExperimentID = @currentID;    SELECT @currentID AS result <main.img>
This is the analogous code to main() is a C-like language. The first block, which has the "Connection Information" wire going into it, opens a .udl file and creates an ADO.NET _Connection reference, which is later used to invoke methods for the query.
<execute query.img>
This is the inside of the second block, the one with "EXE" and the pink wire going into it. The boxes with the gray border operate much like "switch" statements. The wire going into the "?" terminal on these boxes determines which case gets executed. The yellow boxes with white rectangels dropping down are invoke nodes and property nodes; they accept a reference to an object and allow you to invoke methods and read/write properties of that object. You can see the _Recordset object here as well. <fetch recordset.img>
Here's the next block to be executed, the one whose icon reads "FETCH ALL". We see that the first thing to execute on the far left grabs some properties of the recordset, and returns them in a "struct" (the pink wire that goes into the box that reads "state"). This is where the code fails. The recordset opened in the previous VI (virtual instrument) has a status of "closed", and the purple variant (seen under "Read all the data available") comes back empty.
The rest of the code is fairly irrelevant, as it's just converting the received variant into usable data, and freeing the recordset reference opened previously. My question is, why would the status from the query of the recordset be "closed"? I realize that recordsets are "closed" when the query returns no rows, but executing that query in SSMS returns good data. Also, executing the LabVIEW code does the UPDATE in the query, so I know that's not broken either.
This question has been posted on the site before but I could not find any resolution....I want to return rows 11 - 20 from a query that returns 100 records without using a cursor or temp table.
The closest query I have found is a query that numbers the rows, but I can't seem to use rownumber in a between clause...
Use Pubs SELECT emp_id, lname, fname, job_id, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employee e2 WHERE e2.emp_id <= e.emp_id AND e2.job_id = 10) AS rownumber FROM employee e WHERE job_id = 10 ORDER BY emp_id
I have a need to dump a subset of a database from the server (SQL Server) to a notebook via the network, for data entry to be done on the notebook when it is in the field & not connected to the network & then the changes made to this data on the notebook to be applied to the database on the server.
The application for the front end to this is in Access. Would MSDE be the way to go for the database on the notebook ?
It's a small application with not many users, likelihood of conflicting edits is small.
Would the data transfer best be done with replication or with DTS ? Presumably replication would allow options for control over conflicts, such as the same bit of data being changed on the server & on the notebook’s copy of the data ?
I need guidance re direction to head in with this.
Hi,I was wondering if you guys have any nth script to reads from tableand outputs into a temp table subset of records. There was a nth toolI used to use it was GROUP1 which was written in C and it used to bevery fast on nth -in a flat file. In this program we used to pass fewparamaeters. For example if I want 30,000 records from the file of500,000. The function seams to work something like this. you dividethe 30,000 records of 500,000 which will result with .090909090909.Now we would pass only the first 7 digit (0909090) as parameter thatwould nth the file down to 30,000 records. This function allwaysworked whichever number you use as long as the read file is largerthan output fileI like to use the similar concept in Sql Server and I was wondering ifanyone has any script to do this or how to go about this?Thank you. I appreciate your feedbackagron
There is a production database which has ever increasing data. For testing purposes though, I would like to build a test database with exactly the same schema but only a subset of data copied from the production database . I'll specify the criteria (something like a where clause in select query) for copying the data from the production database.
Is there a tool that anyone has come across to do this job ?
I have multiple tables with information about a user. The tables are Roles, Users, Groups and Profiles.
For a user session I need information from all those tables. Would it be better to make a table called UserSession and collect the necessary data from the above mentioned tables and stick them in one the UserSession table or should I just write a query that goes out and gets the data from the different tables.
Hi all I'm new to SQL Server 2005 and its queries. I've created a DB that stores bonusses. For example, a person goes out with usually 4 other people, and does their work. The first person is the engineer, the second is the team leader, and the third and forth is the helpers. According to the number of notes they capture for that day, they get a bonus. if 3 notes has been done for the day, the enigeer gets 100 bucks per note, aka 300 bucks - 3 * 100 = 300. the team leader gets half of it, 150, and the helpers get each half of that, 75 and 75. in a select query i did the match/calculation now i want to add everything up to get a total, 300+150+75+75 - how does one do it, and write it to a table? Note: The amount of people can change, the role of the person can change, so a helper can be a team leader or engineer as well, and the amount also changes depending on performance.DECLARE @BonusID int; SET @BonusID = '1';
