wht iam trying to do is
my Function 1 is calculatin some value 'Value1' and storing it in a Databsae Table.
Now my Function 2 wants to use that 'Value2' which is stored in Databse Table. I want to retrieve that 'Value2' so my Function2 can use it for further calculation
The UDF is as follows
CREATE FUNCTION Immediate
{somevalues}
Returns @Immediate Table
Declare x float,
Now i want to use the value2
Select @Value = 'ColumnName' from SomeotherTable
SET @x=@value
will this work.As botht fumction1 & 2 calculate and store at runtime.
Is there any way of emulating Oracle's capability of passing output of user-defined functions in the select statement or better still in the Where clause in SQL server 7.0? If not then could we hope for it in SQl server 2000?
I have a list of articles stored in my sqlserver 2000 db. To get all the articles I have a stored procedure which just contains a simple select statement. When a user click to download an article, I want to increase the download count. I can do this with a separate stored procedure with an insert statement and passing in the document id, but I'm sure I could do it within one stored procedure, just not sure how. This is my current sp for getting the articles.CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_GetArticles] ASSELECT [DocumentID], [Title], [Description], [Downloads], [UploadDate], [Filesize] FROM Documents WHERE CategoryID = 1
Yes, I do know what this means and why the error is thrown but this is not my question.
I have two servers that are both running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 200 SP3. Below are the results from both servers using @@version

These servers are identical or so it seems. I've got a real ugly query that uses views and a derived table to get results. The problem is the 256 limit message only comes up on one server and on the other (Genesis) the query runs fine. I get the error though it reads a 260 limit on a box with SP4 applied. I've also run the query on a box that is Windows 2003, sql2k and sp4 and the query runs but not on a similar server here. This is all very odd. Please note that the database structure, views, etc are all exactly the same as far as I know.
Any suggestions? There seems to be no pattern between versions of Windows and/or SP levels.
I have query that doesn't even register a time when running it. But when I add the lines that are commented out in the code below, it takes between 20 and 30 seconds! When I run the code for functions directly,I know when I include it like this, it loses the Indexing capabilities?
SELECT ----, ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF(dbo.ufnGetRetail(I.ISBN13),0.00) AS VARCHAR(20)), 'N/A') RetailPrice ----, ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF(SP.LocalPrice,0.00) AS VARCHAR(20)),'on request') LocalPrice

How to have the functions included but have the query response time come down?
Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs. I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID. I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages. When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID). Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?
I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality andremembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerningperformance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* infunction" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made thefollowing comment about UDFs in SQL 2005:[color=blue][color=green]>>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of[/color][/color]these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe there. In fact fora complex expression, a UDF in written a CLR language may be fasterthanthe corresponding expression using built-in T-SQL functions.<<I thought the I would put this to the test using some of the same SQLas before, but adding a simple scalar CLR UDF into the mix. The testinvolved querying a simple table with about 300,000 rows. Thescenarios are as follows:(A) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column(B) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column and as a criterionin the WHERE clause(C) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column(D) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion in theWHERE clause(E) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column(F) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion inthe WHERE clauseA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(295310 row(s) affected)A: 1563(150003 row(s) affected)B: 906(295310 row(s) affected)C: 2703(150003 row(s) affected)D: 2533(295310 row(s) affected)E: 2060(150003 row(s) affected)F: 2190The scalar CLR UDF function was significantly faster than the classicscalar UDF, even for this very simple function. Perhaps a more complexfunction would have shown even a greater difference. Based on this, Imust conclude that Erland was right. Of course, it's still faster tostick with basic built-in functions like CASE.In another test, I decided to run some queries to compare built-inaggregates vs. a couple of simple CLR aggregates as follows:(G) Calculate averages by group using the built-in AVG aggregate(H) Calculate averages by group using a CLR aggregate that similatesthe built-in AVG aggregate(I) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group (average excluding highestand lowest values) using built-in aggregates(J) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group using a CLR aggregatespecially designed for this purposeA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(59 row(s) affected)G: 313(59 row(s) affected)H: 890(59 row(s) affected)I: 216(59 row(s) affected)J: 846It seems that the CLR aggregates came with a significant performancepenalty over the built-in aggregates. Perhaps they would pay off if Iwere attempting a very complex type of aggregation. However, at thispoint I'm going to shy away from using these unless I can't find a wayto do the calculation with standard SQL.In a way, I'm happy that basic SQL still seems to be the fastest way toget things done. With the addition of the new CLR functionality, Isuspect that MS may be giving us developers enough rope to comfortablyhang ourselves if we're not careful.Bill E.Hollywood, FL------------------------------------------------------------------------- table TestAssignment, about 300,000 rowsCREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestAssignment]([TestAssignmentID] [int] NOT NULL,[ProductID] [int] NULL,[PercentPassed] [int] NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_TestAssignment] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([TestAssignmentID] ASC)--Scalar UDF in SQLCREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fnIsEven](@intValue int)RETURNS bitASBEGINDeclare @bitReturnValue bitIf @intValue % 2 = 0Set @bitReturnValue=1ElseSet @bitReturnValue=0RETURN @bitReturnValueEND--Scalar CLR UDF/*using System;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Data.SqlTypes;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;public partial class UserDefinedFunctions{[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction(IsDetermini stic=true,IsPrecise=true)]public static SqlBoolean IsEven(SqlInt32 value){if(value % 2 == 0){return true;}else{return false;}}};*/--Test #1--Scenario A - Query with calculated column--SELECT TestAssignmentID,CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ASCalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario B - Query with calculated column as criterion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ASCalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END=1--Scenario C - Query using scalar UDF--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario D - Query using scalar UDF as crierion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID)=1--Scenario E - Query using CLR scalar UDF--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven_CLR(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario F - Query using CLR scalar UDF as crierion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven_CLR(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID)=1--CLR Aggregate functions/*using System;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Data.SqlTypes;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;[Serializable][Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlUserDefinedAggregate (Format.Native)]public struct Avg{public void Init(){this.numValues = 0;this.totalValue = 0;}public void Accumulate(SqlDouble Value){if (!Value.IsNull){this.numValues++;this.totalValue += Value;}}public void Merge(Avg Group){if (Group.numValues > 0){this.numValues += Group.numValues;this.totalValue += Group.totalValue;}}public SqlDouble Terminate(){if (numValues == 0){return SqlDouble.Null;}else{return (this.totalValue / this.numValues);}}// private accumulatorsprivate int numValues;private SqlDouble totalValue;}[Serializable][Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlUserDefinedAggregate (Format.Native)]public struct TrimmedAvg{public void Init(){this.numValues = 0;this.totalValue = 0;this.minValue = SqlDouble.MaxValue;this.maxValue = SqlDouble.MinValue;}public void Accumulate(SqlDouble Value){if (!Value.IsNull){this.numValues++;this.totalValue += Value;if (Value < this.minValue)this.minValue = Value;if (Value > this.maxValue)this.maxValue = Value;}}public void Merge(TrimmedAvg Group){if (Group.numValues > 0){this.numValues += Group.numValues;this.totalValue += Group.totalValue;if (Group.minValue < this.minValue)this.minValue = Group.minValue;if (Group.maxValue > this.maxValue)this.maxValue = Group.maxValue;}}public SqlDouble Terminate(){if (this.numValues < 3)return SqlDouble.Null;else{this.numValues -= 2;this.totalValue -= this.minValue;this.totalValue -= this.maxValue;return (this.totalValue / this.numValues);}}// private accumulatorsprivate int numValues;private SqlDouble totalValue;private SqlDouble minValue;private SqlDouble maxValue;}*/--Test #2--Scenario G - Average Query using built-in aggregate--SELECT ProductID, Avg(Cast(PercentPassed AS float))FROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID--Scenario H - Average Query using CLR aggregate--SELECT ProductID, dbo.Avg_CLR(Cast(PercentPassed AS float)) AS AverageFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID--Scenario I - Trimmed Average Query using built in aggregates/setoperations--SELECT A.ProductID,CaseWhen B.CountValues<3 Then NullElse Cast(A.Total-B.MaxValue-B.MinValue ASfloat)/Cast(B.CountValues-2 As float)End AS AverageFROM(SELECT ProductID, Sum(PercentPassed) AS TotalFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductID) ALEFT JOIN(SELECT ProductID,Max(PercentPassed) AS MaxValue,Min(PercentPassed) AS MinValue,Count(*) AS CountValuesFROM TestAssignmentWHERE PercentPassed Is Not NullGROUP BY ProductID) BON A.ProductID=B.ProductIDORDER BY A.ProductID--Scenario J - Trimmed Average Query using CLR aggregate--SELECT ProductID, dbo.TrimmedAvg_CLR(Cast(PercentPassed AS real)) ASAverageFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID
Hi, not exactly too sure if this can be done but I have a need to run a query which will return a list of values from 1 column. Then I need to iterate this list to produce the resultset for return. This is implemented as a stored procedure
declare @OwnerIdent varchar(7) set @OwnerIdent='A12345B'
SELECT table1.val1 FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1. Ident = table2.Ident WHERE table2.Ident = @OwnerIdent
'Now for each result of the above I need to run the below query
SELECT Clients.Name , Clients.Address1 , Clients.BPhone, Clients.email FROM Clients INNER JOIN Growers ON Clients.ClientKey = Growers.ClientKey WHERE Growers.PIN = @newpin)
When I run simple select against my view in Query Analyzer, I get result set in one sort order. The sort order differs, when I BCP the same view. Using third technique i.e. Select Into, I have observed the sort order is again different in the resulting table. My question is what is the difference in mechanisim of query analyzer, bcp, and select into. Thanks
have a table with students details in it, i want to select all the students who joined a class on a particular day and then i need another query to select all students who joined classes over the course of date range eg 03/12/2003 to 12/12/2003.
i have tried with the following query, i need help putting my queries together select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between ('03/12/2004') and ('03/12/2004')
when i run this query i get this message
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
the studentstartdate field is set as datetime 8 and the date looks like this in the table 03/12/2004 03:12:15
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...

I have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value ----------- ----- colB 123 colA XYZ
I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

hi, does it make a difference to write the following select statement in either query window or create a sp and then calling the store procedure to be executed..
select * from authors
OR
create procedure authors as
select * from authors
lets assume that we have million records in the author table. is it faster to run the query from within a store procedure or not ? thanks for your input
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-

So the query only returns the one record for each age_group on each date for the top 3 dates. Does anyone have any ideas? I hope I have explained it well enough!
Hi, I'm trying to do the following select statement. I have the following databases with the following tables and columns which will be involved with the query. DataBase Name: usersTable: UsersColumn: UserNameColumn: UserId DataBase Name: documentareasTable: document_areaColumn: doc_area_idColumn: doc_area_nameColumn: doc_area_typeColumn: doc_area_defaultTable: document_area_user_accessColumn: doc_area (contains a doc_area_id)Column: user_id (contains a username) Now I want to select the doc_area_name where the logged in username exists in the user_id of the document_area_user_access table. So to clarify, I am looking to look through the document_area_user_access for each time the current users username exists and for each existing username the doc_area_name is displayed depending on what doc_area(s) is associated with the user_id in document_area_user_access. Don't know if this has made any sense?? I am hoping to do all this in the aspx sqlsource if possible. As for each userarea that the user has access a link will exist. Cheers, Mark
Hello,I have the following tables:[Blogs] > BlogId (PK), ...[Posts] > PostId (PK), BlogId (FK), Title, Content, ...[Labels] > LabelId (PK), LabelName[LabelsInPosts] > LabelId (PK), PostId(PK)I am selecting all posts from a Blog given the BlogId:SELECT * FROM dbo.Posts WHERE BlogId = @BlogIdThis will return the columns Title, Content, ... for those posts.I would like to add 2 columns, PostLabels and LabelsCount:1. PostLabels would be created by:For each post select all the labels associated with it inLabelsInPosts. Then for each label get the label name. Then createthe value of PostLabels which would be each label separated by acomma.I tried the following but this is not working. I am having problems getting the LabelId from LabelsInPosts and then getting the LabelName from Labels and use them to create the CSV string:SELECT DISTINCT l1.PostID, STUFF((SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT ',' + l2.LabelName FROM Labels AS l2 WHERE l2.PostID = l1.PostID ORDER BY ',' + l2.LabelName FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') AS PostLabelsFROM Labels AS l1ORDER BY l1.PostID2. LabelsCount would be the number of labels associated with each postI created a procedure which, given a PostId, returns the number oflabels associated with it.So I suppose it would be only a question of integrating a call tothis procedure with this SELECT I am trying to create.Thank You,Miguel

I just want to concatenate two dates in Select query. For example I've 2 fields- fromdate and todate in a database table and i just want to join them by a dash.
tbl_recipes contains recipe names and is directly linked to tbl_ing, which hold all ingredients for the recipes, so for example tbl_recipes may have a recipe named "Bread" and a ing_ID of "23". In the tbl_ing table there would be (flour)(23), (water)(23), (salt)(23), (yeast)(23). Each parantheses represents a column in each row.
I have no problem to link those 2 tables together and display the results on a webpage, but I want to go a step further with my 3rd table. tbl_items contains several ingredients without any relationship to any other table. They contents of that table changes frequently. It's basically a list of available ingredients at any given moment.
I want to be able to display all the recipes I could make with the available ingredients in the tbl_items table. So, let's say I have flour, water, salt, yeast, sugar, apples in the tbl_items table. In the tbl_recipes table I have Bread, Applepie and Cherrypie. With my available ingredients I can make bread and the applepie, but not the cherrypie. Now I need to write a query that will display only those matching recipes. I'm lost on this. Can anyone please help me?
