THis is possible in Access.
I want to use an if statement to compute the value of a column in SQL Database using other columns. I am supposed to check if a column is null or not and do the computations accordingly. Can anyone help?
so i want to create a cmoputed column specification based on an 'if' condition. this is what I want to happen:
if [WID] < 10, I want the value in the computed column to be "W0" + [WID]
if [WID] >= 10, I want the value in the computed column to be "W" + [WID]
[WID] is of type tinyint.
What is my computed column specification formula? Thanks.
Okay, newb question alert!!!I created a computer column that is based on the difference between the column start_date and getdate().Does the computed column only update when you update the column or does it change when you select it also?

Hi,
Iam using SqlBulkCopy to copy data of all the tables from one database to another database. SqlBulkCopy runs just fine but it throws exception for one of the tables which is having computed column.
snnipet of code is
For Cnt = 0 To oDS.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
oSqlCmd2 = New SqlCommand
oSqlCmd2.Connection = oConn
oSqlCmd2.CommandText = "select * from " & "" & oDS.Tables(0).Rows(Cnt).Item(0).ToString & " "
'Dim reader As SqlDataReader
oDS2 = New DataSet
oDA2 = New SqlDataAdapter
oDA2.SelectCommand = oSqlCmd2
'reader = oSqlCmd2.ExecuteReader
oDA2.Fill(oDS2, "test")
Dim bulkData As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(oConn2)
'Get the data from the second database and fill the dataset
oDA2 = New SqlDataAdapter
bulkData.DestinationTableName = "" & oDS.Tables(0).Rows(Cnt).Item(0).ToString & " "
bulkData.BatchSize = 1000
bulkData.BulkCopyTimeout = 2000
bulkData.WriteToServer(oDS2.Tables(0))
oDS2.Dispose()
oSqlCmd2.Dispose()

For one of the tables iam getting the following error
The column "Col4" cannot be modified because it is either a computed column or is the result of a UNION operator
Since iam fetching table names at runtime its not possible to use columnMappings.
So, how to come out of this situation.
TIA
I want to create a computed column with this formula:
ISNULL(NULLIF (tot_mnc, 0) / NULLIF (repl_value, 0), 0)
It works in a straight select query, but when I put it in the formula of the table design window, I get an error "Error validating the formula for column 'test_fci'"
I don't know if it's relevant but repl_value is itself a computed column with the formula:
(repl_value_e_g + repl_value_aux)
Is it possible to use the system functions in a computed column? If not, how would I pass those values into a udf and use it for the formula?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I have a table with 3 computed columns, the first two reference a function for there value. The last computed column should be total of the other computed columns, however when trying to write the formula for this column SQL Server rejects it.
Am i correct in thinking it is not possible to reference other computed columns in a computed column's forumla.
My current work around is to call the functions again that the other computed columns use to generate the total, though this seems to me like a performance issue.
Could anyone offer some advise on my situation.
Any input apreciated.

Is there a shortcut to spelling out column names when you are doing a select statement?
For instance could you write Select 1, 5, 6 from table where whatever...
I tried this but didn't get any results so if you can I must be using wrong syntax.
Thanks

Hello fellow .net developers,
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say
Select OrderId from Order.
But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent
FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!
TIA,
Arthur

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add a custom column in a select statement that has a value to true or false based on other criteria.
SELECT [ID], [Name], [Description], [EmpID], [Employed] FROM [Employees]
Now, in the above example there is no [Employed] Column in my table but I want it to show true or false based on whether or not [EmpID] equals a certain value.
The SQL computed is complex enough that I can't see a way to make it a parameterized query. The obvious approach seems to be to compute the SQL in a CONTROL FLOW SCRIPT TASK and then use it to load a variable to set the VARIABLE SOURCE of a CONTROL FLOW EXECUTE SQL TASK.
I see that I can return a resultset to a variable.
But getting the rows of the results into a dataflow is not obvious. I have heard mentione that a Derived Column can do this. I can see using a dummy SCRIPT COMPONENT as DATA SOURCE with nothing in it to then drop into DERIVED COLUMN. But when setting up DERIVED COLUMN I don't see how to pull the columns out of the RESULTSET variable.
If it makes a difference I think the columns of the resultset will always be the same in this scenario.
Maybe this is totally the wrong approach? Any clues would be appreciated.
Maybe I am missing something very obvious, but I couldn't do it: begin trangocreate table foo (f1 int not null,f2 int not null,f3 as (f1 + f2) not null primary key clustered)gorollback trango This returns:Server: Msg 8183, Level 16, State 1, Line 8Only UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraints are allowed on computed columns.

Hi,
i have to use a datetime field in all the tables in a database as a updated timestamp.
i.e. : whenever an update happens to a row in a table, this column called LASTUPDATED has to be updated with current date time.Is there any way to implement this without using the trigger ?
can i use COMPUTED column to acheive this ?
Please help me..thnks in advance..
Is there a SELECT statement that will return a the column names of a given table?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm executing the following...
select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.
I have a temp table that hosts data from a MDX query, I want to select a column from that table by passing in a parameter and then insert to a new table.
Here's the table structure, let's call it #temp
[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION], [Measures].[Gross Sales]
Bike, 200
Accessory , 100
I have a table in the DB created as [ProductSales]
Here's what works for me:
insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales)
Select convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION]") as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales'
From #temp
But in reality the product level is not always on level 03, I want to define a parameter @Product and pass it to the select list.
Here's what I tried to do:
Declare @Product varchar(500) = convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 01].[Member_CAPTION]")
Declare @SQL varchar(MAX)
SET @SQL='insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales)
Select '+@Product+' as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales'
From #temp'
Exec @SQL
But it threw me error, what is the right way to do it, is it because the double quote or single quote thing?
