Good Day guys, sorry i'm just new in SQL Server.
My problem is like this:
I want to pass Table Object to a declared variable and make View.
Usually we make like this:
"Select * from Table1"
I want like this:
"Select * from @Table1"
I want to pass Table1 to a variable "@Table1" which the variable
reads as Table.
Please help me guys, i really appriciated everything.
Thanks,

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 need to call another database in the same server dynamically; creating a varible off it or somehow. Example:
-- In database DBaseA
declare @dbname as varchar (30)
set @dbname='[DBaseB].[dbo]'
select * from @dbname.[table2]
I know this block of code doesnt work. And i need a way of making the database DBaseB dynamic.
DBaseA and DBaseB are in the same server. I am using Sql Server 2000.
How do i solve this? Solutions ?

Not wishing to derail the other recent thread on loading a local variable, I've posted this query (hee,hee,hee...I kill me) on a separate thread...though I think I am trying to do something similar...that is to build a dynamic select statement, but return a count of the rows it finds/doesn't find to a local variable...using the (amazingly timely) responses above, I tried this:
Note that the local variables @TargetDate and @TLevel are necessary because they are being passed into the procedure as variables....
DECLARE @SQLCmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @TargetDate smalldatetime
DECLARE @TLevel int
DECLARE @n int
SET @TargetDate = '2004-05-24'
SET @TLevel = 1
SET @SQLCmd = 'SELECT @n = count(*) FROM EventLog WHERE ((CONVERT(varchar(10), [Date], 101) = ''' +
CONVERT(varchar(10), @TargetDate, 101) + ''') AND (MsgLevel = ' +
CONVERT(varchar(3), @TLevel) + '))'
exec (@SQLCmd)
if @n > 0
print 'yep'
else print 'nope'
and, it's TRYING to work...but apparently the local variable @n is not recognized in the execution of the dynamic statement, as this is the output:
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Must declare the variable '@n'.
nope
Thoughts?
Hello all,
I'm a bit new to SQL Server and T-SQL (my background is in DB2), so hoping you can help me with this. I'm writing a T-SQL script that's hopefully going to scan a bunch of SQL server instances and record the results. We've got a mix of SQL2K and SQL2K5 instances, and for part of my script I only want to run something if the remote instance is SQL2K.
I'd tested this on my local PC with several instances created and it worked fine. When I try and run it for instances located on other servers it barfs :eek: . From what I've found from looking up the error message it looks like I've got myself a loopback -- but I don't know how to get around it - any ideas please?
DECLARE @tempdata TABLE (scratch sql_variant)
DECLARE @debug tinyint
DECLARE @server sysname
DECLARE @version varchar(20)
SET @debug=1
SET @server='SQLSERVER_INSTANCE'
INSERT INTO @tempdata (scratch) EXEC ('[' + @server + '].master.dbo.sp_executesql N''SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(''''ProductVersion'''')''')
SELECT @version = convert(varchar(100),scratch) from @tempdata
DELETE FROM @tempdata
IF @debug>0 BEGIN PRINT @server + ' is running SQL Server version: ' + @VERSION END
IF charindex('8.00',@version) > 0 BEGIN
PRINT 'SQL2K-only code goes here'
END
The error I get is:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SQLSERVER_INSTANCE" returned message "The transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SQLSERVER_INSTANCE" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I get this error running from a SQL2K5 instance against both SQL2K or SQL2K5
TIA, moff.
Hello everyone,Small and (I think) very simple quesiton;-) which makes me creazy.Let's say I have two tables listed below:T1====IDX====134T2===============IDD fk_IDX===============A1A2A4B1B3B4C4D1D2D3D4I would like to select from table T2 all distinct records IDD whichhave all of fk_IDX containded in T1.The select statement should return in this case ONLY:B and Dbecasue:B has 1,3,4andD has 1,2,3,4 so it has this combination 1,3,4 contained in the T1also.I've tried to do that with group by, with having, in and it neverworks (I always became all records which one of them is in this T1table).Maybe some one from you did try something like that, and can give afast answer.I will be very greatfullGreatingsMateusz

I have a parameter which should take multiple values into it and pass that to the code that i use. For, this i created a parameter and temporarily for testing i am passing some values into it.Using a dynamic SQL i am converting multiple values into multiple records as rows into another variable (called @QUERY). My question is, how to insert the values from variable into a table (table variable or temp table or CTE).OR Is there any way to parse the multiple values into a table. like if we pass multiple values into a parameter. those should go into a table as rows.
Hi,
These aren't my tables, but lets dumb it down for my sake!
I have 2 tables:
CompanyInfo: IDNumber, EffectiveDate, CompanyName
TransacationInfo: TransactID, CompanyID, TransDate, Amount
There are several records in TransactionInfo for each record in CompanyInfo.
I want to:
SELECT CompanyInfo.IDNumber, CompanyInfo.EffectiveDate, CompanyInfo.CompanyName,
SUM(TransactionInfo.Amount)
How can I do this? Can I?
is there some way to allow this to execute, using a function or something?:
select * from 'cusomer'
you see i have a list of about 300 table name in string format, and i want to use a cursor to itterate through each table, but as all the table names are in string format i cant get it done. any ideas??
This is, I'm hoping, a simple thing that I just don't know how to do. But I've searched my books and read a lot of threads but so far, no luck in what I'm trying to do. Here's the basic layout of 2 tables from my d/b (MSDE):
tblCity
cityID (p/k)
stateID (f/k to tblState.stateID)
cityName (varchar 35)
tblStudent
studID (p/k)
cityID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
hometownID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
studFName (varchar 25)
studLName (varchar 35)
...
I *hope* that what I tried to do there is allowed. Basically what I'm trying to do is to tie the student to both his current City (by foreign key cityID) and his hometown city (also by foreign key cityID).
So, if New York is (127, 33, 'New York') and Birmingham is (1050, 1, 'Birmingham') (in tblCity), then in the student table (tblStudent), John Smith would be
Quote: 12150, 127, 1050, 'John', 'Smith', ...
How would I format my SQL statement to get both cityNames? I thought this would work
Code:
SELECT s.studID, c.cityID, c.hometownID,
s.studLName + ', ' + s.studFName AS studNameName,
c.cityName, c.cityName AS swapconNum
FROM tblStudent AS s INNER JOIN tblCity AS c
ON (s.cityID = c.cityID)
WHERE s.studID = 12150
Can I do this? If so, what am I doing wrong? Sorry, I'm kinda sorta new to SQL.

Hi, my sql is not too hot so i hope someone can help me. I need to select all the records from one table that do not exist in 2 other tables. I know it sounds simple enough but for some reason i can not get it working. It may have something to do with the fact that the field i am searching on are datetime fields. Here is a shortened version of my code.
SELECT DateOfStats
FROM table1
WHERE (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table2)) and (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table3))
Thanks for the help in advance.
i need to select records from table "A" if only the "PK" of "A" exists in table "B". I need to return a resultset not just a single record. The problem is table "B" is not a table in database instead a user supplied table which can be a datatable in memory.

I have a temporary table that contain 1000 rows. I want to insert records from 900 to 1000 into another temporary table. Is ther any query that will do this in SQL server. With cursors I can do that but I need one shot query. Please give me some suggestions.
I using this query but it is not returning any rows.
select * into #t2 from #t1 t1 where not exists( select top 900 * from #t1 t2)
I was given this query but could not build it successfully.
can anybody help me out.
Consider the following scenario:
we have a table with single field of type Varchar(100).
we have few hundred records in it.
we want to retrieve last 'n' records from table.
i know this is bad idea but we need to have some solution to work it out.
i'm breaking my head but to no use.

I've got an update statement with a subquery (I'll post the code further down) that I need to either make dynamic or do something else to make sure it does what I want.
The query is as follows:-
UPDATE dbo.tbl_Process_List_Control_Table
SET LastUpdateDateTime = (
SELECT ISNULL(MAX([LatestRowUpdateDateTime]), @LastUpdateDateTime)
FROM [wtbl_Process_List_Patient]
)
WHERE ProcessList = @ProcessName
This is a called proc with the following parameters:-
@LastUpdateDateTime is the date of the last record to be loaded
@ProcessName is the name of the process that was started/finished.
I need to make [wtbl_Process_List_Patient] dynamic so it looks at a different table based on a passed parameter.I've tried making the whole thing dynamic but it states I need to declare @LastUpdateDateTime which I can't see how to do as it's already passed to the proc (as is the process name).
Hi
I've created a linked table connection to an external data source within sql server 2005.
The link looks OK, I can see all the tables etc, but I want to create a view on another database to some of the tables on the linked database.
How do I perform something as simple as a select statement as I can't seem to be able to select anything.
Is there something that i need to do first in order to be able to select fields from the linked table?
Thanks

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]
[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
Thank you in advance for any and all replies...
I have table HITS with columns ID and hitDate and table DATESS with columns startDate and endDate.
I can have alot of entries in the HITS table with hitDate between the times of a startDate and endDate entry in the DATESS table.
What I am trying to do is to select all the ID's of the entries where hitDate is between startDate and endDate. (In the end I would use min and max to get the firt and last hit between those times)
I have tried:
SELECT ID from hits,Datess WHERE hitdate between startDate and endDate
but it does not give the required results. I think the problem is the tables are not related in any way. Is there another way to do this.
Thanks
I have table 1 from which I select some values belonging to users.In table 2 I store tips a user might give: tipid, tiptitle, tiptext,tipcreatedateA user may give more than one tip.But now I want a query that selects the info of a SINGLE user and the LATEST tip he created, so resultset might look like:username lastname sex tiptitle tiptext tipcreatedateSo even though a user might have given more tips, only the latest will be retreived...and thus 1 row for a particular user is returned...How would I construct such a query? The problem is that I want to get exactly 1 row but more than 1 column from the table 2, so I think I cannot use the SQL Server "TOP" command...

I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number.
So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc...
If any one have any ideas please respond.
