Select Max(xxx) Function: How Do I Retrieve The Value??

Jun 9, 2006

I have  a sql query where i want to find the highest number in a column.  I believe i am querying for the data properly, but i think my problem is that i don't know how to retrieve that information in code. 

The error message i get is this:
"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid"

Here is my code:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 queryString = "SELECT MAX(SortOrder) as HighestNumber " & _
                            "FROM uQI_Questions WHERE (SurveyID = @SurveyID)"

........ more code in between .......

 ' Make sure there is 1 and only 1 record returned.
            If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 1 Then

                ' retrieve the number and add 1 to it.
                NextNumber = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)("HighestNumber")
                NextNumber += 1

            Else

                ' Else it must be the FIRST record so return '1'.
                NextNumber = 1

            End If
-------------------------------------------------------------

The line that generates the error is "NextNumber = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)("HighestNumber")".

Any suggestions?

Table Function To Retrieve File Properties

Mar 25, 2008

Here's a table function that returns a table variable containing various file properties (creation date, size, etc.). The one limitation to remember is that it won't work with files on mapped drives; you have to use the full \<Server><Share><Folder1..Folder n><Filename> syntax. Still, it's a pretty useful thing to have around. :)

(JDBC) Can You Retrieve A Resultset From A Table-value Function?

Jan 31, 2008

I suppose that this could also be called: Can you retrieve a parameterized view with JDBC? Either accomplishes the same basic task.

I have looked in the documentation, and there really isn't much that talks about JDBC and functions - just stored procedures - which do not returned a CURSOR type according to Microsoft's documentation.

So far, I can retrieve scaler type data in both procedures and functions, and retrieve data sets through executeQuery with a provided sql query. How to return a resultset in Java using procedure or function has still eluded me. (<sarcasm intended> And I thought Java could do just about anything. Who would've thought...)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Resources, books, etc. Google hasn't offered much help with SQL Server and JDBC.

Thanks,

Ken

Retrieve The Version Of SQL Server From Within A User Defined Function

Sep 12, 2006

EXEC master.dbo.xp_msver ProductVersion can be used to return the server version in a resultset.  I need this to do some conditional coding between varchar and varchar(max) in a UDF, so size of the text I return must be different between the SQL2000 and SQL2005.

I cant call an xp_ that returns a resultset within a UDF can I, so how can I get the SQL version?

How To Retrieve The Char(1) Column From SQL Server With Dbbind() Function In Windows C Programming?

May 10, 2007

I have used the following Windows C codes to retrieve records from the bus_newjob table in SQL server:



==========================================================

// construct command buffer to be sent to the SQL server
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )"select job_number, job_type," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" disp_type, disp_status," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" start_time, end_time," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" pickup_point, destination," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" veh_plate, remark," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" customer, cust_contact_person," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" cust_contact_number, cust_details" );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" from bus_newjob" );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" where disp_status = 0" );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" order by job_number asc" );

result_code = dbsqlexec( dbproc ); // send command buffer to SQL server

// now check the results from the SQL server
while( ( result_code = dbresults( dbproc ) ) != NO_MORE_RESULTS )
{
if( result_code == SUCCEED )
{
memset( ( char * )&disp_job, 0, sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );
dbbind( dbproc, 1, INTBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.job_number );
dbbind( dbproc, 2, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.job_type );
dbbind( dbproc, 3, INTBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.disp_type );
dbbind( dbproc, 4, INTBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.disp_status );
dbbind( dbproc, 5, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.start_time );
dbbind( dbproc, 6, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.end_time );
dbbind( dbproc, 7, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.pickup_point );
dbbind( dbproc, 8, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.destination );
dbbind( dbproc, 9, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.veh_plate );
dbbind( dbproc, 10, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.remark );
dbbind( dbproc, 11, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.customer );
dbbind( dbproc, 12, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.cust_contact_person );
dbbind( dbproc, 13, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.cust_contact_number );
dbbind( dbproc, 14, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.cust_details );

// now process the rows
while( dbnextrow( dbproc ) != NO_MORE_ROWS )
{
new_job = malloc( sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );
if( !new_job )
return( 0 );
memcpy( ( char * )new_job, ( char * )&disp_job, sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );
append_to_list( &Read_Job_List, new_job );
}
}
else
{
sprintf( str, "Results Failed, result_code = %d", result_code );
log_str( str );
break;
}
==========================================================



where the job_type columIn is of the char(1) type, NTBSTRINGBIND is the vartype argument in the dbbind() function.



However, what I have gotten is nothing more than a null string from the job_type column. I have alternatively changed the vartype argument to STRINGBIND, CHARBIND and even INTBIND, but the results are the same.



Who can tell me the tricks to retrieve a char(1) column from SQL server?

Retrieve Distinct Rows From Select Statement

Is it possible to retrieve Distinct rows from this Select Statement?

I'm getting the correct results, but duplicate rows because some customers place more than one order on the same day.

Code:

CONVERT(char, dbo.Customers.DateCreated, 103) AS [DD/MM/YYYY], dbo.loyalty_points.LPoints, dbo.Orders.OrderID
FROM dbo.Customers INNER JOIN
dbo.loyalty_points ON dbo.Customers.CustomerID = dbo.loyalty_points.CustomerID INNER JOIN
dbo.Orders ON dbo.Customers.CustomerID = dbo.Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (CONVERT(char, dbo.Customers.DateCreated, 103) = CONVERT(char, GETDATE() - 6, 103))

SQL Function In Select

Hi,
What I want to do is include a function in my select:

select myFunc(aTable.aFieldValue), aTable.aFieldValue from aTable

but where myFunc actually returns a Table instead of a scalar. How can I do this please?

for example, I know:

select * from myFunc(123) from aTable

will work fine.

and

select myScalarFunc(aTable.aFieldValue) from aTable

will also work.

But how can i get the 123 value from a table?

Function Used Twice In Select Statement

May 22, 2008

Hi,

I've got a complex UDF I need to call twice in a select statement, as shown below:

SELECT

dbo.myFunction(colName),
dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2
FROM

tableName

The problem is, the result of "dbo.myFunction(colName)" is not being cached, so the function is executed again for "dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2". This is having a significant impact on performance (doubling the amount of time it takes for the query to execute).

Is there any way I can write the query so that dbo.myFunction is only executed once?

Thanks for your help,

Andrew

Use DateDiff Function Within Select Statement

Feb 3, 2015

I'm trying to use the DateDiff function within my select statement, but I'd like to add the parameter of greater than 30 days. This will have the query only return records where my bill stop date is greater than 30 days from the completion date. I currently have the datediff function within my select statement as

DATEDIFF (d,A.StopBillDate, a.CompletionDate) as [DIFFERENCE]

I would prefer to keep the datediff function within the select statement so as to have difference in days appear as a column within my output.I have been unable to add the parameter of > 30 days to the query without getting an error.

Group By a.clmssn, a.cossn

Order By a.clmssn, a.cossn


I want to join another table, Juris, to get the Crnt_Office column but the aggregate function Max forces me to include Crnt_Office it in the group by clause. This results in returning all rows containing unique office codes. I only want the office code from the row with the highest Clm_Seq_Num and Juris_Seq_Num.


Juris

Clmssn = key

Cossn = key

Clm_seq_num = key

Juris_seq_num = key

Crnt_Office


The following returns incorrect results:


SELECT a.clmssn,

a.cossn,

Max(a.clm_seq_num) as clm_seq_num,

Max(c.chrs_seq_num) as chrs_seq_num,

Max(d.juris_seq_num) as juris_seq_num,

Max(b.clm_dcn_dt) as clm_dcn_dt,

d.crnt_office

FROM mt16ic_Claim a

LEFT OUTER JOIN mt16ic_clmdcn b

ON a.clmssn = b.clmssn

AND a.cossn = b.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = b.clm_seq_num

LEFT OUTER JOIN mt16ic_juris d

ON a.clmssn = d.clmssn

AND a.cossn = d.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = d.clm_seq_num

INNER JOIN mt16ic_clmchrs c

ON a.clmssn = c.clmssn

AND a.cossn = c.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = c.clm_seq_num

Group By a.clmssn, a.cossn, d.crnt_office

Order By a.clmssn, a.cossn


If more information is needed, I have data examples but could not include them due to character size limit. Thank you for your help.

Aggregate Function For Select Statement Result?

Oct 19, 2004

Ok, for a bunch of cleanup that i am doing with one of my Portal Modules, i need to do some pretty wikid conversions from multi-view/stored procedure calls and put them in less spid calls.

currently, we have a web graph that is hitting the sql server some 60+ times with data queries, and lets just say, thats not good. so far i have every bit of data that i need in a pretty complex sql call, now there is only one thing left to do.

Problem:
i need to call an aggregate count on the results of another aggregate function (sum) with a group by.

*ex: select count(select sum(Sales) from ActSales Group by SalesDate) from ActSales


This is seriously hurting me, because from everything i have tried, i keep getting an error at the second select in that statement. is there anotherway without using views or stored procedures to do this? i want to imbed this into my mega sql statement so i am only hitting the server up with one spid.

thanks,

Problem With SELECT, GROUP BY And Aggregate Function

Oct 24, 2006

Hi all,

I have a problem with an SQL-query and I don't know what the best solution would be to solve the problem.

GROUP BY Stati.z4414, Stati.z4402


I get the following error:


Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 25
Column 'STATI.Z4400' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.


I know it has something todo with the select on the table SRTAS, but what's the best way to solve this problem without the chance of getting a wrong result.

The SELECT on SRTAS is to get the "description" of STATI.Z4414 who's stored in the table SRTAS.
I only want to group on the fields that will be inserted in WERKS.Z8602, WERKS.Z8603, WERKS.Z8604, WERKS.Z8605, WERKS.Z8606. So adding STATI.Z4400 to the GROUP BY would give me wrong results?

This query is dynamicly generated from within my program from what the user selected.

Also, if there are better ways to write the query, I would be happy to get some hints and tips, but if possible without stored procedures.

Thanks in advance!

Has SELECT INTO With IDENTITY() Function Changed The Way #'s Are Assigned?

Oct 10, 2007

We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.

Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.


(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)

SQL 2012 :: Using Count Function And Case In One Select Statement

Jul 9, 2014

I am selecting the count of the students in a class by suing select COUNT(studentid) as StCount FROM dbo.student But I need to use a case statement on this like if count is less than 10 I need to return 'Small class' if the count is between 10 to 50 then I need to return 'Medium class' and if the count is more than 50 then 'Big class'.

Right now I am achieving this by the following case statement

SELECT 'ClassSize' = CASE WHEN Stcount<10 THEN 'Small Class'
WHEN Stcount>=10 and StCount<=50THEN 'Medium Class'
WHEN Stcount>50 THEN 'Big Class'
END
FROM(
select COUNT(studentid) as Stcount FROM dbo.student) Stdtbl

But can I do this with just one select statement?
