Embarrassed to ask but nevertheless here i go:
I have a SQL like this:
select sum(qty)
from tblXYZ
The results is displayed as (for example) 123456789.56
I want the results to be displayed as 123,456,789.56 (i.e. use the currency or the comma format; whatever it's called).
Please help
What is the equivalent SSIS expression for this C expression to format an unsigned integer by padding it with leading zeros?
sprintf(publ_doc_id, "%010u", id)
Okay, I know this is a very simple question, but here it is.
I have a select statement that returns a value such as: 9902.7400000000.
In the select statement it just selecting Value. In the select statement, can I format the output to be with just two decimal places? I know I should know the answer to this and how to do it, but thank you for any help.
my current query returns data as follows:
stopID reason count
h1 e 5
h1 v 2
h1 a 1
h2 v 2
h2 m 8
h3 t 6
h3 v 1
Is it even possible to sort/format this query in SQL to
return the same data but in this type of format? Using
the values of the 'reason' column as column names?
stopID e v a m t
h1 5 2 1 0 0
h2 0 2 0 8 0
h3 0 1 0 0 6
thanks

I am trying to format the Sys field (which is Int) in case the first byte is zero. But I'm getting an error msg;
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_Pull_Cancels, Line 43
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Right'.
CASE
WHEN substring(PCRACT, 5, 1) = '4' THEN 3641

WHEN substring(PCRACT, 5, 1) = '6' THEN 9694
END as Right('0000' + Cast(Sys as varchar (4)),4)
Any ideas how I construct this CASE statement to get the desired results.
Thanx,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Hi,
I have a web form that lets users search for people in my database they wish to contact. The database returns a paged set of results using a CTE, Top X, and Row_number().
I would like to give my users to option of removing individual people from this list but cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried creating a session variable with a comma delimited list of ID's that I pass to my sproc and use in a NOT IN() statement. But I keep getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." Error Message.
Is there any way to do this? I am still new to stored procedures so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
Hi, when I copy and paste results from query analyzer into Excel it appears that values with zeroes at the end loose the zeroes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday)
1 1 a b c d e m
1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
I have:
Master table Hotel
table AddressCrossRef (with: RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType = 'Hotel', AddrID)
joins
table Address (key = AddrID)
table MediaCrossRef (with RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType= 'Hotel', MediaID)
joins
table Media (with MediaID,mediaType = 'thumbnail')
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have
left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using
where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null)
but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
any clue?
thanks
Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working as a consultant for a project and I have been having constant issues with the in house "database guru" about stored procedure formating.
He insists I use a format similar to this:
create procedure getUser @UserId int = NULL
as

, UserPassword
, UserRole
from
Users
join
UserRole
on
User.ID = UserRole.ID
where
User.ID = @UserID

create procedure getUser
(
@UserId int = NULL
)
as
select UserName,
UserPassword,
UserRole

join UserRole on User.ID = UserRole.ID
where User.ID = @UserID
and User.Active = 1
Now normally I don't argue about style issues but I find his format confusing and it bothers me that it senselesly wastes lines make the stored procedure longer than necessary.
I'd love to get some comments on this issue or reference to any discussions on issues such as this.

Does anyone know why SQL Server Reporting Services formatts SQL weird? -- If I type a SQL statement in notepad or notepad++ and then paste it in Reporting Services it will change the whole structure and "expand" it out to three or four times its size.

I need to show my SUM of the 2 columns added in the query below formatted as currency. Is this possible?
SELECT SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
I tried:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(12), SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) , 1) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV
But this does not format it as currency. Any input would be helpful.

I am trying to output data from SQL Server to an email body message with a little formatting (just to make it legible)

I have values in my database that I'd like to display as $xxx,xxx.xx. Some of these values use the money datatype and others use float.
I'm building a string in a stored procedure that is eventually passed to Visual Basic. I want to format these values in the above format in the string that is passed. I've searched all through MSN and I couldn't find anything related to VB's FORMAT function in SQL Server.
Does Transact-SQL have any functions that could format these values for me?
Does anyone familiar with a tool or a quick way to put apostrophes and commas around some values, so they could be used in a query ? Example, if I have a bunch of zip codes such as:
10001
10003
10009
54321
89043
etc
Let's say I have a couple of hundreds of them. I need to be able to see them as -
'10001','10003','10009','54321','89043' etc
Appreciate very much your time.

Hello Everyone,
I have been requested to take a number of columns and concatenate them into one column with a specifc format/layout. For example I need to take this, (noting all columns are of different datatypes:
col_1 col_2 col_3 col_4 col_5 col_6 col_7
PK #1 John Doe 123 Elm Street Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3

...and create this on a different table (noting col_2 is of datatype "text":
col_1 col_2
PK #1 John Doe
123 Elm Street
Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3
etc..
Can this type of formatting be done?
I know how to concatenate data and use the convert function, but how do you add in CR-LF to get the proper formatting??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
