Hi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray
i have a stored procedure with one coming id parameter
Code BlockALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_1] @session_id int ...
and a view that holds these @session_id s to be sent to the stored procedure.
how could i execute this sp_1 in a select loop of the view. I mean i want to call the stored procedure as times as the view has records with different ids.
and then i wanted to exec this sp in another procedure i would have
exec my_insert( 1_value, 2_value, 3_value )
My question is how could i exec this will the result set of a select.... something like this
exec my_insert (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table).
I know i could have this in an insert result type statement ie...
insert into dest_table (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table)
but my insert routine is quite complicated and carries out some other functions so I would like to call (exec) a sp rather than repeating the complication in the select statement

I have a table, productTable, that contains a ProductID column, a bunch of attribute columns like manufacturer etc, and a GroupID. Many different productIDs can share the same GroupID which means that they are basically the same product with one different attribute such as color. What I'm trying to do is select all the products in the TOP N GroupIDs. I'm using this to paginate my query results. I tried this which does not work:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 10 * FROM productTable WHERE GroupID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 10 GroupID FROM productTable ORDER BY GroupID) ORDER BY GroupID
This returns the TOP 10 rows, but I would like all the ProductIDs for the TOP 10 GroupIDs

Hello,I have two tables, Articles and Comments, with the following columns:Articles - [ArticleId] (PK), [ArticleTitle], [ArticleText], [ArticlePubDate]Comments - [CommentId] (PK), [ArticleId] (FK), [CommentTitle], [CommentText]I need to display on a web page the articles published during the last week and their comments.What I need is:1. Get Articles (DONE) 2. Get Comments for each ArticleThe solution I see are:1. Create a Stored procedure that somehow outputs 2 tables: Articles and Comments associated with those articles2. Create 2 Stored procedures: The first one outputs the articles. The second output all comments given an article ID In this case, while the data is being displayed on the page it will load the comments for each article. The problem is that I will have many round trips to the server.I know how to use (2) but this would give me many round trips to the database.Could someone help me out with this?Thanks,Miguel

Hi world,Normally we receive the results of a query in several or thousands of rows. Select * From Clients-------------------------Row1. Client1Row2. Client2....Which is the the way to have everything on the same row separated by commas?Row1. Client1, Client2...thxDavid
I have a table, where one of the columns is the date/timestamp of when each row was inserted. I want to be able to extract the most recently inserted rows.
With Sybase (a not so distant cousin of MS SQL) the following works:
select * from TABLE having date = max(date)
With MS SQL, however, the same query does not work:
Column 'TABLE.date' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause.
I have table that I need to retrieve the top 2 records, the issue is I have 3 records with the same date, but I only want the first 2. Each record looks something like this.
I have to be able to add the series up of only the first two records for each id based on date. Here is a sample query
select sum(series), date from table group by date order by sum(series) desc
This gives me the total for all three and gives it to me in descending order. I need the records for set 1 and 2 of each of the Id. There are many records but the date and the setnr doesn't duplicate.
I have a table that stores records and each receord has a default logflag value of 0.Each time any record is changed,a new record is inserted with similar vaues but logflag flag remains 0.The original record that was modified will is kept but will have its log flag set to 1.
Now i want to display the two records in a report one on top of the other so that users can clearly see what chages were made for audit purposes.
How do i do my select statement so that for each record that was modified,the original one(logflag 1) is displayed and the new modified one(logflag 0 ) is also displayed just below it.
ie
id name email address city logflag modifieddate
23 rob rob@me.com oxford lane wolverton 1 20/6/2008
23 rob robe@me.com huge road burnside 0 null
The same should be done for all the modified records.
When a record is has not been modified,it should not be displayed by the select statement.
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.
CREATE TABLE #TestTable ( Pk INT, GroupID INT, Enabled BIT
[code]..
I need to write a select query that will retrieve any GroupID in which every record has an Enabled value of 1.In the example I've provided, only GroupID 1 and 3 will be returned since GroupID 2 has a record with an Enabled value of 0.What would be the most efficient way to write such a query?
