It's a very strange thing!
I havea a table called invoices, and a table calle customer payments which has the invoiceID of the payment.
I have many invoices that haven't been paid (so they don't have a record on the customer payments). I know this, as i can for example do:
select * from invoices where invoiceID = 302247 (and i'll get one result)
select * from customer_payments where invoice = 302247 (and i'll get none results)
however, if i do the following:
select * from invoices where invoice_id not in
(select invoice_id from customer_payments)
I get nothing!!!???
It doesn't make any sense, as I should get at least 300 (including the 302247) - both invoiceids fields are int... so i just don't understand what's wrong?
I am writing some functions that work on a time series database of prices, ie volatility, correlation. I need to use the SELECT TOP syntax, but cannot do this with a variable, ie 'SELECT @x TOP * from prices'. My solution is to simply have a function for each potential period that will be looked at - 30day_volatility, 60day_volatility, etc. I looked at setting the ROWCOUNT variable but this is not allowed in functions. I haven't posted any DDL because I think the question is general enough - How do I return n ordered rows from a function without using SELECT TOP, or is there a way to use SELECT TOP with a variable that I am not aware of.
I am using SQL 2014 RTM (may be it's time to upgrade).
I have the following view:
create view [dbo].[SiriusV_Max4SaleList] as select m.id as Max4SaleId, mt.[Description] as [TypeDescription], CAST(m.[type] as tinyint) as [Type], m.start_time as [StartTime], m.end_time as [EndTime],
[Code] ....
I am thinking I may want to remove CAST for department, category, item later on as I don't really care if these columns would be defined as key for my EF model, but I do want to search by these columns. Anyway, this is my current view.
I executed the following select statement once
select * FROM dbo.siriusv_max4saleList where department like 's%' or category like 's%' or item like 's%'
And I believe I got 29 rows initially. However, when I execute this statement now I'm getting just 13 rows. If I execute just the department like 's%' I am getting 0 rows although I can see in the first result a row where department has s in in.
I guess I keep it here since I've created the message already but now I figured out why I am not getting the expected result. I used the condition like 's%' and not like '%s%' which application is doing.
I am trying to bring my stored proc's into the 21st century with try catch and the output clause. In the past I have returned info like the new timestamp, the new identity (if an insert sproc), username with output params and a return value as well. I have checked if error is a concurrency violation(I check if @@rowcount is 0 and if so my return value is a special number.)
I have used the old goto method for trapping errors committing or rolling back the transaction.
Now I want to use the try,catch with transactions. This is easy enough but how do I do what I had done before?
I get an error returning the new timestamp in the Output clause (tstamp is my timestamp field -- so I am using inserted.tstamp).
Plus how do I check for concerrency error. Is it the same as before and if so would the check of @@rowcount be in the catch section?
So how to return timestamp and a return value and how to check for concurrency all in the try/catch.
by the way I read that you could not return an identity in the output clause but I had no problem.
In my BM_Maps subform, there is a combo box called called Borders. I want the borders to be filtered based on product series, so if the user picks "City Guide", they only get city guide borders, so I have added a table called Product_Series_X_Border which has the product series and border id.
I have a query which joins two tables, and I've ordered it by the border name, which works fine, until I add a where clause for the product series from the other table. I have attached a screengrab which I hope works. I have tried joining other tables but it still doesn't work. Is there any other way I can order by border name with the where clause? I've tested with individual product series as the where clause with the same result.
Can someone tell me why SQL seems to ignore my order by clause?I tried to run through the debugger, but the debugger stops at theselect statement line and then returns the result set; so, I have noidea how it is evaluating the order by clause.THANK YOU!CREATE proc sprAllBooks@SortAscend varchar(4),@SortColumn varchar(10)asIf @SortAscend = 'DESC'Select titles.title_id, title, au_lname, au_fname,Convert(varchar(12), pubdate, 101) as PubDatefrom authorsinner jointitleauthoronauthors.au_id = titleauthor.au_idinner jointitlesontitleauthor.title_id = Titles.title_idORDER BY au_lnameCASE @SortColumn WHEN 'title' THEN title END,CASE @SortColumn WHEN 'au_lname' THEN au_lname END,CASE @SortColumn WHEN 'PubDate' THEN PubDate ENDDESCELSESelect titles.title_id, title, au_lname, au_fname,Convert(varchar(12), pubdate, 101) as PubDatefrom authorsinner jointitleauthoronauthors.au_id = titleauthor.au_idinner jointitlesontitleauthor.title_id = Titles.title_idORDER BYCASE @SortColumn WHEN 'title' THEN title END,CASE @SortColumn WHEN 'au_lname' THEN au_lname END,CASE @SortColumn WHEN 'PubDate' THEN PubDate ENDGO
Hi all, When I execute a stored procedure that returns a single value using a TableAdapter, I always get error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" I followed all the steps in microsoft help center:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/37hwc7kt.aspx but the problem still unsolved. here are my simple stored procedure:create PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure1
AS RETURN 4 and here are the simple code in my asp.net webpage that should display the number "4": protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataSet1TableAdapters.QueriesTableAdapter TA = new DataSet1TableAdapters.QueriesTableAdapter(); int i = (int) TA.StoredProcedure1(); Response.Write(i.ToString());
}
so, please could any one help me solve this problem?
Hi I have written a query for viewing the results of an on-line survey. I have three tables involved in this query: answers, answerpossibilities and users. So I use a few joins and made this query: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --')) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc The above query works fine. The data returned by this query is shown in a gridview. When an answerpossibilty was never chosen it shows 0 as times chosen. So that's fine. But the problem is, only answers of users who completed the survey should be shown. In the users table there's a field user_completed. So the query should check whether this field is 1 (true). ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --') and users.user_completed = 1) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc Using this query only answers of users who completed the survey are shown but answer possibilities that were never chosen are no longer shown with 0 as times chosen. The gridview simply doesn't show them anymore. Thanks for helping me!
Something went wrong by posting this message I guess, all blank lines were gone.. maybe because I used Safari on my iMac
Hi All, Can somebosy help with this dilema in my where clause I've got the followingWHERE (Customers.Owner = ISNULL(@Contract,Customers.Owner)) AND (Workorders.DateReceived = ISNULL(@DateReceived,Workorders.DateReceived)) AND (Workorders.DateRequired = ISNULL(@DateRequired,Workorders.DateRequired)) AND (Workorders.EngineerID = ISNULL(@EngineerID,Workorders.EngineerID)) AND (Workorders.DateFinished = ISNULL(@DateFinished,Workorders.DateFinished)) AND (Workorders.JobTypeID = ISNULL(@JobTypeID,Workorders.JobTypeID)) AND (Workorders.JobStatus = ISNULL(@JobStatus,Workorders.JobStatus)) AND (Workorders.PriorityID = ISNULL(@PriorityID,Workorders.PriorityID)) This is so if one of the parameters passed is null you still get a result is trouble is if the substitute value of the ISNULL statement is null no result is shown how can I get round this. Any help much appreciated
I have a written a dll in 2.0 that calls a webservice. This webservice is used to authenticate users in Active Directory. I created a assembly to that calls this dll because of the diverse languages versions that will use it (from asp,vb6 on up) and all can get values from a stored procedure that calls that assembly. I works great. Until now, I have to add another function to my dll that calls the webservice and returns the Users Full name from Active directory for electronic signitures. Okay I added to the dll then tried to reconstruct my Assembly and stored procedures and recieved the following error. "CREATE PROCEDURE failed because a CLR Procedure may only be defined on CLR methods that return either SqlInt32, System.Int32, void" I want to keep all these Active directory call all in one place so I can be consistant in all the different applications. I was reading about UDF but that could get messy as I have a config file for the dll that allows the user to dynamically change the url for the webservice. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated
Hello all, I have two mult-value parameters in my report. Both of them working with selecting one or more values. But, when I test using "(Select All)" values for both parameters , only one parameter works. The "available values" for these two parameters are both from the data set.
select distinct ProductType from Product order by ProductType
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
i have a quite strange condition...when i add some value in database with getdate() function it only returns date and minute not the seconds...does somebody have an experience about this
Problem is that if the [Receiving] table doesn't have a match then no records are return. I want all matches from the [Orders Subtable] and any matches from the [Receiving] Table. If no [Receiving] table matches then I still want all matches from the [Orders Subtable]. Attached is the query.
Note: The query has to run in Access 2000 and I will be coding it in VB.

I was trying to create a simple SP that return a single value as follows:CREATE PROCEDURE IsListingSaved@MemberID INT,@ListingID INTASIF EXISTS (SELECT [Member_ID] FROM [Member_Listing_Link] WHERE [Member_ID] = @MemberID AND [Listing_ID] = @ListingID) Return 1ELSE Return 0GOWhen I try it out in the Tableadapter's preview table, I get the correct result (1, where the entries exist). However, in the BLL, I tried to get the value as:Dim intResult as IntegerintResult = CType(Adapter.IsListingSaved(intMemberID, intListingID), Integer). However, this always returns 0 (when it should be returning 1). P.S. Curiously, breakpoints skipped the VS generated code for the adapter. What could be the problem? Thanks,Wild Thing
I am trying to catch the @retval which is returned finally after executing sp_update_schedule stored procedure (o or 1) but i cannot catch the final resultIf i put Print statement just before the return (@retval), then i am seeing 0 as output but i want to catch that value when i execute the SP with the parameters. How can i do that?? same thing with all other system stored procedures.thanks alot in advance....if you want more info on this Q, plz let me know

I've search around quite extensively on the net and found a few examples that touch on this subject, but the only definitive one that seemed to solve this problem used a temp table in the UDF, which, to my knowledge, is impossible...
The problem is thus: I want to create either a stored procedure or a user defined function to return a list of values I can intersperse to use in a WHERE AccountID IN (<values>). This way, if someone were to create a new stored procedure and they wanted to either only select accounts with those IDs or perform a NOT IN and use it to filter.
The Solution I'm attempting: My idea is best represented in psuedo-code: - Create a Function that stores all account Ids we relate to a particular account type, in this case, let's say accountsids "100, 101, 102, 407" are all accounts we want to consider "cash". - The function would look something like: CREATE FUNCTION CashAccountIDs()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
BEGIN DECLARE TABLE @t1 (account INT) INSERT INTO @t1 VALUES (100) INSERT INTO @t1 VALUES (101) INSERT INTO @t1 VALUES (102) INSERT INTO @t1 VALUES (407) RETURN @t1 END
Then I could call this function by doing something such as:
SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE AccountId IN (dbo.CashAccountIds())
I would presumably do this for other collections of accounts as well, so that I would end up with say 5 functions I could call to filter various types of accounts.
Not too certain if I am approaching this the correct way or not, I've been receiving a myriad of errors trying different methods. If I use the function above it tells me "Must declare @t1", so I modified it so @t1 is declared in the RETURNS statement, and the syntax checks then work, but when I attempt to save the function it tells me "Cannot perform alter on fn_cashaccountids because it is an incompatible object type"
(The code I use to generate this error is: CREATE FUNCTION fn_cashaccountids ()
RETURNS @t1 TABLE (i INT)
AS
BEGIN INSERT INTO @t1 VALUES (100) RETURN END
Hopefully I've provided enough but not too much info to sift through, it seems to me this would be something encountered a bit before.
I have a form that has many checkboxes (more than 40) that provide information about companies.
For example. Company ABC Checkbox 1 (Windows XP) Checkbox 2 (Windows Vista) Checkbox 3 (Windows NT4) etc.
I save these in a SQL table like the following Row 1 - Col 1 (CompanyID), col2 (checkbox value) Row 2 - Col 1 (CompanyID), col2 (checkbox value) etc.. so a comapany can have multiple checkbox selected..
I am currently developing a report where the end user can select one or many of the checkbox to see if the company exist.
This is where I get stuck - I only want to return the results of the companies that meet the report selections. So if I want to see all the companies that current have Windows NT and Windows Vista...how would I build that querry based on the data model above.
I have tried using the IN clause - however that use the OR connector and doesnt show ONLY the compaines that meet. I have tried using a UNION and INTERSECT, and running the select statement many times.. (SELECT CompanyID from xx WHERE CheckboxVal = xx) INTERSECT (SELECT CompanyID from xx WHERE CheckboxVal = xx) etc.. howevert this creates a very large quesry that is unable to be handled by SQL 2005. I get a error message asking to minimize the query.
Any suggestions on this please...this is my 4th day working on this..
Say I want to return only records with dates that fall within the next 6 months. Is there some straight-forward, simple way of doing so?As of now, I'm explicitly giving it a date 6 months in the future, but I'd like to replace it with some sort of function. SELECT DateField1WHERE (DateField1 < CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-06-03 00:00:00', 102)) Any help is greatly appreciated... btw I'm using SQL 2005.
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v order by v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2 I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message

Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?
Far below (in section "original 3 steps"), you see the following:1. a temp table is created2. some data is inserted into this table3. some of the inserted data is removed based on a join with the sametable that the original select was made fromIn my opinion, there is no way that the join could produce more rowsthan were originally retrieved from viewD. Hence, we could get rid ofthe DELETE step by simply changing the query to be:INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )AND INMESS NOT LIKE '2__' ---- the added line===== original 3 steps (mentioned above) =====CREATE TABLE #details (rec_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,orig VARCHAR(35) NULL,bene VARCHAR(35) NULL,orig_corr TINYINT NULL,bene_corr TINYINT NULL)INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )DELETE dFROM #details dJOIN viewD v ON ( d.rec_id = v.rec_id )WHERE INMESS LIKE '2__'
I recently ran into an issue with an issue with a query against our Data Warehouse. When attempting to sum revenue from a table, and using a WHERE clause on a field that contains NULL values, the records with the NULL values are suppressed (in addition to whatever the WHERE clause specified). I believe this is because a NULL value is unknown so SQL doesn't know if it does or doesn't fit the criteria of there WHERE clause so it is suppressed.
That being said, is there a way to avoid this instead of having to add an ISNULL function in the WHERE clause which is going to kill performance?
Code: create table #nullTest ( name varchar(50) ,revenue int)
INSERT INTO #nullTest Values ('Tim',100) ,('Andrew', 50) ,(null, 200)
SELECT sum(revenue) as Revenue FROM #nulltest WHERE name <> 'tim'
Ideally, I would want the SELECT statement above to return 250, not 50. The only way I can think to accomplish this is with this query:
Code: SELECT sum(revenue) as Revenue FROM #nullTest WHERE isnull(name,'') <> 'tim'
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
I need to write a stored procedure the passes in a fieldname, retrives next key type int data from that field, increments the field, and returns the NextKey.
Would be nice if something like this worked: DECLARE @iNext INT SELECT @iNext = SELECT @columnName FROM Next_Keys WHERE ID = 1 SELECT @iNext = @iNext +1 UPDATE Next_Keys Set @columnName = @iNext WHERE ID = 1 RETURN @iNext

My report runs from a stored proc, which gets the user to input a project id and a status. So the where statement in my stored proc looks like this:
Where (p.project LIKE @project_ID + '%' AND p.status IN(@Active))
On my report, I have set the @Active parameter to multi-value, and entered the available values(active and inactive). When I run the report, and only select one of the values, the report runs just fine, but when I use the "select all" option, I get no results at all.
I can't see where I am going wrong. Anyone got any ideas?
I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.* FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag, dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?
