This is feeling very hard for me, but is surely very easy for many of you.
I have 2 Tables. "Events" and "Meals". Both have a columns named "EventDate" and "EventTime". I need to be able to compile a list of both and sort by event date and time. For example, a Meal @ 5:30 would place itself between a 4:00 Event, and a 6:30 Event.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Pending deadline doom :(

I have a database with 10 tables
I have a field named CustID .... I want to find out how many tables have this field CustID
Now one way was check up the design of every table & see whether its there or not (the field)
is there any query through which we can get this info Please help
I know there is some kind of rule against the following SQL statement, but I was wondering what to do to get around this problem (some kind of grouping). Sorry for the stupid question.
SELECT * FROM Table1, Table2 WHERE Table1.ID IS NOT NULL AND Table2.ID IS NOT NULL
Basically I want to select all records from the two tables (they have the same fields, but are just different specialties) and then output them, but there is nothing in common between the two to reference one another, and it ends up in some kind of loop. Thanks. for the help.
I have a table activity which show the activities of the site. An activity could be related with no other entity or it could be related with an account, or with a contact or with an opportunity. An opportunity and a contact could be also related with an account.
My problem is that I need to show the activity and the related account (if there is any) but because the relationship with an account could be done by different ways, I dont know how to do it without join the account table several times.
This is my current query:
SELECT AC.IdActividad, CU.idcuenta
FROM Actividades AC LEFT JOIN Tareas TA ON TA.IdActividad = C.IdActividad
LEFT JOIN ActividadesXCuenta AXC ON AC.IdActividad = AXC.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU ON axc.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXOportunidad axo ON AC.IdActividad = axo.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Oportunidades o ON axo.IdOportunidad = o.IdOportunidad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU1 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXContacto axco ON AC.IdActividad = axco.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Contactos con ON axco.IdContacto = con.IdContacto LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU2 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
As you see, I have the table Cuenta joined 3 times. That means that I need to put the ActivityID field 3 times but based on how the report was developed, I could not do that.
Here is my situation. I am building a report that has three different tables each with their own dataset. Example: Opportunities, Leads, Activities. All three of these datasets/tables have a common field - SalesID. I would like the report to show the first SalesID, then all Opportunities for that SalesID in the Opportunities table, followed by all Leads for that SalesID in the Leads table, followed by all Activities for that SalesID in the Activities table, and then rollover to the next SalesID and repeat that for all SalesIDs. Any suggestions on how I could achieve this? Thanks in advance for all help!!!

I have a sql query that I am using to populate a datagrid. The problem is one of the tables is a month table. and the other tables are full of data. So there is no common column name to match using a inner join "on".
How do i do this?
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

I'm trying to determine the oldest timestamp that meets given criteria which includes a specific action_type code. That code can legitimately be performed more than once on an item (all actions are recorded in an actions table, so the full history is available).
actions table (columns: action_id, request_id, action_type, action_time, action_reason)
I'm having trouble getting the most recent timestamp for the given action_type I'm looking for, when that action_type has been performed more than once.
My intent with the query below is to get the most recent action_time and it's request_id that meets the criteria
SELECT TOP 1 a.action_time, r.request_id FROM requests r JOIN incident i ON r.request_id = i.request_id LEFT JOIN actions a ON r.request_id = a.request_id WHERE i.refund_type = 1 AND (r.status_code = 3 OR r.status_code = 14) AND a.action_type = 3 ORDER BY a.action_time
So for example, if the item with request_id 1334 has had action_type 3 performed on it twice, once at 2007-10-15 13:30:00 and then again at 2007-10-17 14:40:00, it's picking up the former, when I want the later. That it had action_type 3 performed on it twice is legitimate. (larger context an item was approved by a manager, then rejected by a processor, and then approved by a manager again after resubmission)
Hopefully this has made sense so far.
So, how do I make sure I'm getting the most recent action time, when I don't know if the item in particular will have more than one of this action type performed on it?
Hello, I have an aspx page with a text box. The user may enter a large portion of text including symbols like ' or ". On form submitting I would like a database (text or varchar(MAX) ) field to be updated with the value of the text box...The query that I have created for this purpose is the following: "string query ="UPDATE Article SET A_Content='" + content + "' WHERE A_Id=" + id; As I said before the user may (and in most cases must) enter special characters like ' (example: bla bla blah it's very good bla bla blah).The problem is that ' or " close the query string (SQL) and interpreter things that I am reffering to a field's name instead of the fields value (I think) resulting the following error:The identifier that starts with...is too long.Maximum length is 128.Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ...I think that it must be a very common problem with many solutions but for some reason I cant find anything on the web.What is the common practice to overcome the problem?Is there a function that might transform text into SQL acceptable text?Should I create methods for Replacing ' with other characters like ^^^ (text can be quite big...)?Thanx for any suggestions!

I've inherited a table of members that has the following structure:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[dimMember](
[dimMemberId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[dimSourceSystemId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_dimMember_dimSourceSystemId] DEFAULT ((-1)),
[MemberCode] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [nvarchar](250) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [nvarchar](250) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
Based on the way the data loads into the table there's a possibility of some records being near duplicates of each other. For example, we can have a member that has records that have the same first name, last name, SSN, but different addresses, membercodes, subscribercode etc... This can happen in pretty much any variation thereof.
What I want to do, is add a new column and use that to group the similar records under based on comparing on several columns. By this I mean, if a member matches 4 of the 7 values below with another member, we would group these:
First Name (1st 3 characters)
Last Name
DOB
CurrentAddress1
MemberCode
SSN
SubscriberCode
I'm at a loss of how to structure the SQL to update the new column in the table.
Hi,
Do anyone know or have a suggestion how to get commun columns name between several table in a SQL server database
For example I have table_1(name, age, school) table_2(name, address, city) and table_3(name, department, company)
name is the common column name (I don't care about the data) in this case. Is there a way to do it simple and easy ?
THANK YOU
I have two tables that contain product SKUs (12-character strings):
Table 1Product IdSKU...
Table 2ProductVariantIdSKU...
I need to find the MAX (i.e., last used) SKU that exists in either table. I did write two sps, one for each table that I can compare in code and use the larger (latest) one but I am not that facile with JOINS, etc., so I can't figure how how to create a single sp to return the value I am looking for--although I assume this must not only be possible but trivial to more experienced SQLers.
Thanks!

I have 3 jobs each consists of set of stored procedures.The stored procedures have lots of temp tables. And all the jobs run at the same time.
job1:
EXEc sp1
EXEC sp2
EXEC sp3
Job2
EXEC abc1
EXEC abc2
EXEC abc3
EXEC abc4
EXEC abc5
Job3
EXEC xyz1
EXEC xyz2
EXEC xyz3
EXEC xyz4
But the issue is that the stored procedures in the job1 has temp tables with the same name as stored procedures in the job 2 have.
Eg:
procedure abc1 and procedure sp2 have the temp table #temp1.
procedure abc4 and procedure xyz2 have the temp table #temp3.
Like this i have some more common temp tables. So my question is that can I use the temp tables like that.If so does it degrade the perforamnce of the sps.

I'm kinda embarrased, it's been quite awhile since I've played with SQL or Access but here's my brain fart. I need to open an access DB by the name of eHomes. Inside there are two tables AD_IMAGE & PROPERTY. Property is the main table and stores most of the info. It has a field in it called AD_ID and others except for the image file name. The AD_IMAGE table just keeps the image file name and has 3 fields: ID - AD_ID - & Image1. The problem is when the ad is deleted from the property table the AD_IMAGE table record referring to the PROPERTY.AD_ID doen't get deleted. So, I just want the AD_IMAGE table cleaned up to match what's active in the PROPERTY table using the common AD_ID fields in both tables.
Thanks
Hi, I've created a website usiing asp.net and all the data are stored in sql front. All the item are sorted in ascending order except one record. The correct order should be MP61, MP100, MP200, but this record is retrieved as MP100, MP200, MP61. If the coding is wrong, all the order displayed is not in ascending order. We have hundreds of items, but why it happens to this particular record? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
Thanks!
The file of about 30,000 records contains an address field where addresses are entered in the following form:
128 NW 8 ST
3444 SW 19 AVE
32 SE 122 TERR
12604 SW 148 PL
Then there are anomalies such as
123 E BLVD
(I can ignore the anomalies until the main challenge is overcome.)
The challenge is that I have been asked to sort the addresses in the following order:
quadrant (e.g., NW, SW),
street number (e.g., 122),
street name (e.g., TERR)
house number (e.g., 128)
It seemed like I should create a view that can be updated regularly, as records will be added/deleted ongoing.
How do I get these part into a four-column view? Or, is there another way to do this?

Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

I've made another topic before concerning this problem, but since it was really confusing, I will made one clearer (it was about orthodromic formula, in case you read it, but the problem change during the topic, so thats why im creating this new one too).
I have a stored procedure with custom pagin method inside, and I want to sort my records on a fields I create myself (which will receive a different value for each record.) Now, I want to sort on this temporary field. And since this is a custom paging method I can choose between many page. Now, for the first page, it sorts fine. But when I choose a page above the first one, the sorting is not right (the results all are wrong).
So my real question is: is it really possible to sort on a Temporary Field in a custom paging method (because I know I can do it without any problem on a real field from my table, it just doesnt work right when I try on a temporary field). I tried to solve my problem with this little SQL instruction, but it didnt give me any result yet:
SELECT TOP 20 PK, test = field_value FROM Table WHERE PK not in (SELECT TOP 10 ad_id FROM Table ORDER BY ?) ORDER BY ?
well thanks for taking the time to read this, any help woulb be appreciated.
