Select Columns That May Exist
Jul 16, 2007
I am working with several similar tables that for the most part contain the same columns. I need to export these tables to different csv files, and the csv file needs to have all possible column names and blank fields if the column does not exist in the table. Basically a set and subset thing.
for example
TABLE AA has three columns A, B, C
and
TABLE AB has 2 columns B, D
I am working with over 200 tables, and am planning on automating this with c#. I could use the information_schema to create the SQL statement for each tabel but it sems like I should also be able to do this using one select statement.
I want to write a select statement that combines this.
SELECT
[A],
[B],
[C],
'' AS [D]
FROM
[AA]
SELECT
'' AS [A],
[B],
'' AS [C],
[D]
FROM
[AB]

Hi everyone.
I am stuck on this for quite a while. Lets say i have 2 tables.
Table 1 with these columns:
Serial_Num
Product
Price
Table 2 with this column only:
Product
I need to create a VIEW that will show me all the the data in Table 1 but only for the column that exists in table 2. Example:
Something like this:
select (all the columns from table 2)
from table 1
I need it to be dynamic because columns could be added to both tables anytime.
Thanks.

I am trying to produce a query result that will be using a Case statement to determine values based on scores in a table for each row. The result needs to be exported to be used to upload to a state reporting website. My problem is that the state requires in the CSV file that is uploaded a lot of fields that we do not actually have in the database table we are creating the result set from. After I receive my result set using the Case statement, is there a way to add additional columns that don't actually exist in a table so I can export directly from SQL?

In SQL 2012.A query that joins 2 table, with order by clause doesn't get sorted and the result set is not ordered. This happens when some of the columns in the where criteria are in a unique index which is the index that is used for the join between the 2 tables, and all the columns in the unique index are in the where criteria.In the query plan there is no component for sort.The work around was to drop the unique index, or change it to a non-unique index. Once this was done, the execution plan was changed to add the sort component (even when the index was changed to non-unique and the join was still using this index).

I am trying to write a script that will only insert records that do not exist to a local table. Whenever a form is changed, it keeps the same name, but a new record is created with a new ID. I need to be able to pull the new record by checking for ID's that are not on the local table, but using a form name to isolate. The nested select I am attempting is
select distinct qf.[eform_id]
, qf.[name]
, qf.[description]
from [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf
inner join FORMS_REF fr on qf.[name] collate database_default = fr.form_name collate database_default
where not exists (select fr.eform_id
from forms_ref fr
inner join [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf on fr.eform_id = qf.eform_id);
It is outputting nothing, but I have intentionally deleted one form record to force it to show up.

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1](
[TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...

Hi,
I have a table of row IDs, order numbers, and status. Status is a value of 1 or 2. Some rows only exist as a 1, some only as a 2, and some exist twice -- once as 1 and once as 2. I want to select orders that are 2 as well as rows that are 1 but do not also exist in the table as 2. Ultimately I will only see each order number once. Is there a better/faster way than doing multiple selects and comparing them to each other?
Example data:
RowID OrderNum Status
1 101 1
2 102 1
3 102 2
4 103 2
Desired results when selecting ID and ordernum from that table:
1 101
3 102
4 103
Thanks.

I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
Thanks for all your help!

Hi all,
I'm trying to be slick, but so far am just all wet *snicker*
I've got a table with rows that may or may not exist, and am trying to retrieve a column if an associate row DOES exist.
For argument's sake, my PIndex table looks like:
PID int
CreateDate smalldatetime
CloseID float
Here is my select logic that I thought would save an extra select to load my local variable if the row is actually in the table...
DECLARE @CloseID float
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT @CloseID = CloseID
FROM PIndex
WHERE ((PID = '14') and
(CreateDate = '2004-02-06')))
SET @CloseID = 100
The SET afterwards is just to initialize the variable if it can't be had from an existing row in the table.
The trouble is, that it fails to compile with the following error:
>>>>> Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '='.
Any insights? My goal is to use a single select to load the value into my local variable if the associated row exists, or to set my local variable to 100 if it doesn't.
Thanks!
Paul

Ok,I have a data warehouse that I am pulling records from using OracleSQL. I have a select statement that looks like the one below. Now whatI need to do is where the astrics are **** create a case statement orwhatever it is in Oracle to say that for this record if a 1/19/2005record exists then End_Date needs to be=1/19/2005 else getEnd_Date=12/31/9999. Keep in mind that a record could have both a1/19/2005 and 12/31/9999 instance of that account record. If 1/19exists that takes presedent if it doesnt then 12/31/9999. The problemis that the fields I pull from the table where the end_date is inquestion change based on which date I pull(12/31/9999 being the mostrecient which in some cases as you see I dont want.) so they are notidentical.

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int][LocationID] [int][Type] [nvarchar](10)[Address] [varchar](50)[City] [varchar](50)[State] [char](2)[Zip] [varchar](5)[AddDate] [datetime][EditDate] [datetime]AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???Thank you in advance for any and all replies...

I have a scenario that reminds me of a pivot table and I am wondering if there is a way to handle this in SQL.
I have four tables. Product Line, Item, Property, and Value.
A Product Line has many items and an item can have many property's and a property can have many values.
I want to select a product line and show all the items with the Property's as column headers and the Values as the data. The thing I am having trouble with is the property's for an item are variable from a few to a whole bunch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I have a branch a data, now i need to search through a database to check whther it is exist in that database or not, any syggestion?
Example:
Now i have data 123, 234, 345. Let say data 123 and 234 is exist in that database, but data 345 is not exist in that database.
What SQL am i suitable to use to get those result exist(123, 234) and those result not exist (345)?
The database structure is someting like this:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
3 345 345
1) The data consider 'exist' if it exist in column NAME or column O_NAME (either one).
2) The data consider 'not exist' if it not exist in neither NAME column nor O_NAME column
After the SQL query, someting is expected:
Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
Not Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
3 345 345
I'll appreciate if anyone can provide me a solution..Thanks!

I am trying to pull a min value of a date column from table 1, if table 1 does not have any record I need pull a date column from table 2. Table 2 will always have a unique record ID (No duplicate ID's).
Table 1
ID date
1 1/1/2014
1 1/5/2014
Table 2
ID date
1 1/5/2014
2 10/15/2014
Here is the desired result when running for ID = 1 (select Min(date) where ID = 1, I should be getting 1/1/2014 from Table 1.
If I am running the same query where ID=2 then I should be getting 10/15/2014 from Table 2. So basically I need to check if a value exists on Table 1 first, if there is no value on Table 1 and then to grab the value from Table 2.

I know you can restrict/grant select rights to certain columns in SQL Server table. My question is if in a select query, where you list out the columns (select colum1, column2...) that you have select rights on do you also have to have select rights on columns that apear in where clause or the columns in a join? For example say I have select rights on column1 and column2 of test table, but not on column3. If I run a select statement like this: select column1, column2 from test where column3 = 'abc' Will I get a select persmission denied because the query is using column3 in the where clause. David

Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.

OK, i'm sure this is an easy one, but can't seem to figure it out. Basically need to search against two database columns (fields) to see if either contain the work "test". Here is an example of the statement but of course dosn't work correctly:
SELECT * FROM tbl_db WHERE skills LIKE 'test' AND title LIKE 'test'
Please note the AND is incorrect.
What i need to accomplish:
if one record contains 'test' in its skills field then SELECT it.
if one record contains 'test' in the title field the SELECT it.
I need to make sure that is 'test' is in both skills and title fields then only display once.
Thanks,

I am using mySQL and the following query works fine:
SELECT * from listings where name LIKE "%$trimmed%" order by name";
and so does this query:
SELECT * from listings where keywords LIKE "%$trimmed%" order by name";
however, I can't seem to combine the two with an OR statement as this query only returns the results from the first LIKE column
select * from listings where name LIKE "%$trimmed%" or keywords LIKE "%$trimmed%" order by name
I want to be able to search both columns and return a row if the NAME column or the KEYWORDS columns contains a string.

Suppose you have table with many columns and often you need data from first 15 or 20 columns. In that case you have to specify all the columns in your select statement. This procedure will select top N columns you want. All you have to do is to supply table name and number of columns you want
Here is the procedure
Create procedure TopNcolumns (@tableName varchar(100),@n int)
as
Declare @s varchar(2000)
set @s=''
If exists(Select * from information_Schema.tables where table_name=@tablename and table_type='Base Table')
Begin
If @n>=0
Begin
set rowcount @n
Select @s=@s+','+ column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name=@tablename order by ordinal_position
Set rowcount 0
Set @s=substring(@s,2,len(@s)-1)
Exec('Select '+@s+' from '+@tablename)
End
else
Select 'Negative values are not allowed' as Error
End
else
Select 'Table '+@tableName+' does not exist' as Error

I would appreciate any help with my following problem... lets say
i have...
select A.firstname + '' + B.lastname as fullname, 'Their Home is ' + A.City + ' ' + (select top 1 C.State from States C where C.City = A.City) as Location
from tableA A, TableB B
Where A.id = b.id
This is not the actual statement but follows the same kinda logic... the problem that i get is that some of the rows in both my fullname column and in my location column show up as null... how would i fix it so for instance even if the state is missing it would still show: their home is LA or if just the last name is available it would show the lastname?
