Select From Two Different Field Columns.
May 22, 2006
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,
Jake

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...

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!

I have a report that uses different datasets based on the year selected by a user.
I have a year_id parameter that sets a report variable named dataset_chosen. I have varified that these are working correctly together.
I have attempted populating table cell data to display from the chosen dataset. As yet to no avail.
How could I display data from the dataset a user selects via the year_id options?

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,

i need to write a query and can't get it to work no matter how it try. Here's what i need:
T1
-------
a1
a2
datetime
a4
a5
.....
i need distinct max between a1&a2 which i can get no problem but i cant get that unique datetime that correspond to a1&a2 in 1 query because this is will a subquery in a big query. Creating another temp table etc is not an option for me.for every specific a1 there is many entries of a2 + timedate etc.
Code:
T1
-----------------------------
a1 a2 timedate
1 1 2014-04-31 10:59:38.000 ......
1 2 2014-04-31 10:59:39.000 .......

2 1 timedate .......
2 2 timedate .......etc
select distinct t1.a1
,max (t1.a2)

I have a table with 4 column in below
Total amount = 1000
salemancode1 = space
salemancode2 = Staff-99
salemancode3 = space
salemancode4 = staff-88
How I can write a one query statement to do this, we expect to count how many salemancode is not space and count the number of salesman to over the total amount.
total amount / (no_of_saleman) as commission
the result is 1000/ 2 the commission is $500.

I would like to query a table for a max value of one field for a distinct combination of two other fields. Let's call these fields RowID, ObjectID, and ObjectType. RowID is an auto-increment field, so for each distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType, there will be many values of RowID. To visualize an example:
RowID, ObjectID, ObjectType
1 , 1 , 1
2 , 1 , 2
3 , 1 , 3
4 , 1 , 1
5 , 1 , 2
6 , 1 , 3
Of these rows, I would only want 4, 5, and 6 (max values for distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType).
I hope I explained this clearly. I would imagine I'd need to use some form of nested query, but nothing I have tried so far has worked. I am using SQL 2005.
Thanks!

In report builder 3.0 I have row groups. I want a total at the end of each row but I want the total to be broken down by 3 columns based on 3 possible values of a field in the dataset. The report expands as the date range entered is increased. I want the total of clinic id + service id + program id + protocol id + appointment date but I want the total column to be broken down by appts that have shown or not shown or canceled. Â
See screenshots below for seeing how I have it configured. Is this possible? I have tried every combination of possibilities but I keep getting the row total in each of the 3 columns comprised of the total column.
and
The results look like:Â
The last Total column displays the entire row count NOT separated by the show, no show, and cancel status'.  I have tried filters and different expressions but keep getting the same output. Is this even possible?

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.

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]

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.

I have three records, with one column that is an identity/PK. I want the last record inserted and the whole record's information from the query, using a where clause to limit the record returned from the table.
I get an error if I do not have the group by added. However, with this query, I still get three records returned.

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?
Thank you

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to do an SQL insert with a select (to copy specific records) query and specify the value for a specific field to insert in the new records instead of using the value in the field in the select statement.
If so can you provide me with a simple example.
Cheers
