Simple Question (Hope Simple Answer Too)
May 26, 2004Hey,
I have MS SQL database.
I have procedure:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Reg_DropTable
@ModuleId varchar(10)
AS
declare @TableName varchar, @kiek numeric
set @TableName = 'reg_'+@ModuleId
begin
DROP TABLE @TableName <- HERE I GOT ERROR
end
GO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got error when using variable with tables names.
How to do this?
Ps. Number is send to this function and it must drop table with name Reg_[That number]
Simple Question - Use 1 Or 2 Tables
May 9, 2007If I have a table called 'areas' as below which i'm using in a web app:
Code:
area_id mediumint(9) NO PRI auto_increment
name varchar(45) NO
postcode char(4) NO
o4s_coords varchar(15) YES
gm_coords varchar(200) YES
description text NO YES
filename varchar(30) YES
width smallint(4) YES
height smallint(4) YES
comment varchar(255) YES
This table is not going to ever hold more than 600 records. About 550 will only use the first 3 fields (area_id,name,postcode). Is it advisable to break this into 2 separate tables or given the small amount of content is it ok with some null fields?
Simple Counting Across 3 Tables
May 6, 2008Hi there,
it seems like an easy query here. I have 3 tables:
Forums (ID. ForumTitle)
Topics (ID, TopicTitle, ForumID)
Posts (ID, PostTitle, TopicID)
and data
Forums
1, FTitle#1
2, FTitle#2
3, FTitle#3
Topics
1, TTitle#1, 1
2, TTitle#2, 1
3, TTitle#3, 1
4, TTitle#4, 2
Post s
1, PTitle#1, 1
2, PTitle#2, 1
3, PTitle#3, 2
4, PTitle#4, 3
5, PTitle#5, 4
I need to count for each forum the number of Topics and Posts so it will look like that (Forums.ID, Forums.ForumTitle, TotalTopics, TotalPosts):
1, FTitle#1, 3, 4
2, FTitle#2, 1, 1
3, FTitle#3 0, 0
How can I achieve that ?

Help With Simple Query Involving 3 Tables
Jan 8, 2005Hello, this is probably the most helpful forum I have found on the Net in awhile and you all helped me create a DB for my application and I have gotten kind of far since then; creating stored procedure and so forth. This is probably very simple but I do not yet know the SQL language in depth to figure this problem out. Basically I have a printer monitor application that logs data about who is printing (via logging into my app with a passcode, which is located in the SQL DB), what printer they are using, and the number of pages. I have 3 tables, one called 'jobs' which acts like a log of each print-job, a user table (which has data like Name=HR, Passcode=0150) and table listing the printers. Each table uses an integer ID field which is used for referencing and so forth. Tables were created with this command sequence:
create table [User_Tbl](
[ID] int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
[Name] varchar(100),
[Password] varchar(100),
)
go
create table [Printer_Tbl(
[ID] int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
[Name] varchar(100),
[PaperCost] int
)
go
create table jobs(
[JobID] int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY.
[User_ID] int,
Printer_ID int,
JobDateTime datetime,
NumberPrintedPages int,
CONSTRAINT FK_User_Tbl FOREIGN KEY ([User_ID])
REFERENCES [User_Tbl]([ID]),
CONSTRAINT FK_Printer_Tbl FOREIGN KEY ([Printer_ID])
REFERENCES Printer_Tbl([ID])
)
go
I need display some data in a datagrid (or whatever way I present it) by using a query. I can do simple things and have used a query someone on here suggested for using JOINS, and I understand but I can't figure out how to make this particular query. The most necessary query I need for my report needs to look like this: (this will be from a data range @MinDate - @MaxDate)
Username PagesOnPrinter1 PagesOnPrinter2 TotalPagesPrinted Cost
--------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ----
HR 5 7 12 .84
Finance 10 15 25 1.75
So it gives the username, how many pages printed on each printer, the total pages printed, and the total cost (each printer has a specific paper cost, so it is like adding the sum of the costs on each printer). This seems rather simple, but I cannot figure out how to translate this to SQL.
One caveat I have is that the number of printers is dynamic, so that means the the columns are not really static. Can this be done? And if so how can I go about it? Thanks everyone!
Simple Data Extraction From 2 Tables
Mar 22, 2007So these are a couple different interpretations I've made of a statement that needs to return students name's with the OSOS field in the attendcode code column of the attendance table on todays date with an attendance.aperiod column equal to 4.
This first one returns no results at all when I should get about 7 rows or so.....
Select Student.name,
attendance.studentid,
attendance.attenddate,
attendance.aperiod,
attendance.attendcode
from Attendance, Student
where AttendDate >= DateAdd(Day, DateDiff(Day, 0, GetDate()), 0)
And AttendDate < DateAdd(Day, DateDiff(Day, 0, GetDate()), 0) + 1
And aperiod = '4'
And AttendCode = 'OSOS'
AND student.name = Attendance.studentid
This one is returning all of the names in the database 6 times each.
Select Student.name,
attendance.studentid,
attendance.attenddate,
attendance.aperiod,
attendance.attendcode
from Attendance, Student
where AttendDate >= DateAdd(Day, DateDiff(Day, 0, GetDate()), 0)
And AttendDate < DateAdd(Day, DateDiff(Day, 0, GetDate()), 0) + 1
And aperiod = '4'
And AttendCode = 'OSOS' order by name
I think something is messed up with my WHERE control but I cant figure it out... Any help is greatly appreciated!

View 5 Replies View RelatedShould Be A Simple Question About Related Tables In A Report.
Jun 18, 2007Experienced memebers,
I have what should be simple question about related tables in a dataset and using those fields in a report. Here is my simple design.
Order Header -> Line Item -> Line Discount -> Discount Table
Now when designing this report I cannot seem to access the related discount records for the line item. (as more than one can be applied) Every time I try to drag an field from one of the tables in the dataset to my report it automatically adds "First()" onto the field value expression. This seems to work fine for the order header, but doen't even come close to getting the right discount on the line item? I basically need to pass through the Line Discount table to get to the discount name field to put on the same line as my line item data on the report.
I have looked and googled for for an example on this, but have come up short. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris
Perform Calculation On Responsnse From A Form
Aug 2, 2006i have a form where I ask a number of questions
The answer for each question is a drop down menu ...
The person chooses one or many from the answer ....
e.g I would like a wrist band for Trip A (cost £6) {WristA}
I would like a wrist band for Trip B (cost £8) {WristB}
I would like wrist band for Trip C (cost £4) {WristC}
etc etc ....
I would like to grab thes responses from the form
and write SQL script to perform the total cost of wristbands...
Any ideas on how I can do this in SQL - the 'tokens' are available in SQL (i.e. {WristA} , {WristB}, {WristC})
Perform Calculation For Only Desired Rows
Sep 6, 2007
hi all, i wasnt quite sure where to look to answer my particular problem so i am posting up this thread in the hopes that someone can point me in the right direction. in my report, i am showing sales figures for an area. i added a table to display sales from this year, sales from last year, and then the comparable percentage('this' divided by 'last' and then minus one). to account for some ppl who didnt have sales last year, i was able to use an IIF expression to return "N/A" in the textbox. my problem is i want the compared percentage to show for the area total, but not including ppl who were an 'N/A'. i am assuming that some sort of expression will be needed for the area total row, i.e. i want the area total to sum up this year and last year and then get the percentage, but i need to filter out the individuals who didnt have data for last year.
as an example
nsty nsly percentage
total: 15 7 X
A: 5 4 25%
B: 5 3 66%
C: 5 0 N/A
the percentage for total, X, should be (10/7)-1, with p0 as the format; right now it is summing rows A, B, and C.. how can i exclude row C from the calculation?
am i on the right track by researching filters and expressions, or is this a matter for the query
thanks in advance for any help

View 3 Replies View RelatedSimple Join Not So Simple
Feb 21, 2007I 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.
Simple Join Not So Simple
Aug 19, 2006Hi,
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
This All Seemed Simple Enough...
Mar 24, 2007...when I started this endeavor.
I have a previously developed Lotus Notes App. The idea was simple; as
I am sefl taught on Lotus Script, I figured I'd be able to stumble my
way through VB.Well,
it started OK. I used VB Express to get familiar with the stuff, but
decided to go with a full version of VS 2005 and try and get this thing
properly developed as a web app. I purchased several reference books
etc., and have become relatively familiar with the forums here.First
issue I have is that I simply want to use code to update or add records
to an SQL DB. I know about datagridview etc., but I want to update the
DB using forms, not the tabular view those controls provide. I thought
it would be relatively straight forward, but found my ignorance runs
deeper than I thought. When I tried to do so I am finding I am not
really clear on where to make declarations etc. in the web app. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. The
issue with searching these forums is most posts deal with datagridview
or something similar.I have spent a ton of time trying to find relevant
posts or articles, but have had no luck yet.Again, all Ireally
need is a nudge in the right direction. I am more than willing to plod
through reference materials or articles/posts to find what I need to
know, I just can't find where to even start on the info I need. Regards, Joe

May 20, 2001Am new to SQL Server , can any1 tell me is there anyway to display date in this format month and year like Apr 2000 ,excluding the day.

Should Be Simple !!!!
Jan 25, 2001Hi,
I'm relatively new to SQL7 but I did use 6.5 a fair bit.
I'm trying to test the restore of the Transaction log backup and having a bit of difficulty. The idea is that I make a complete database backup at 1am backup the transaction log every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm. I need to be able to restore the database to a known state between 7am and 7pm with a max data loss of 30 minutes.
What I am trying to achieve is (as a test):
1)Create a small test database with a test table
2)Add some data to the test table
3)Back up the transaction log
4)Restore the transaction log to 'undo' the data added in step 2
Should be simple I think !!! The problem I am encountering is that in step 4 it won't let me restore only the transaction log (a tick automatically appears in the database backup as well). Bah !
Can someone please tell me what simple steps are required to get this to work. I need specifically on what options to chose during the backup and restore processes.
Thankyou,
Tim

How can I write this query? The data type for this column is bigint. Also, would it be better to change this data type to char(10) instead as it's used primarily for phone # lookups? Thanks in advance!
