I am trying to do a group by and left join together but it does not seem to be working.
SELECT sb.[BrowserID]
,sum([BrowserTotal])
,[BrowserName]
FROM [IISLOG_REPORTS].[statistics].[browser] sb
left join [IISLOG_REPORTS].[lookups].[browser] lb on sb.browserid=lb.browserid
GROUP BY sb.[BrowserID]
ORDER BY sb.[BrowserID]
The above code works without the blue line there (which is being fetched from the lb table). Any suggestions for this? I would need all 3, including the BrowserName. Thanks

Hey peeps, n00b here, in WAY over my head.
I have an MS SQL server running in the office, which is used for more than one application - the same server hosts databases for at least two totally seperate applications. One of these databases is called CApplication, and another iscalled CSystem, and these two together support an app called Client.
All I want to do is create CApplication2, which is an exact one-time copy of CApplication. I don't need it to update, or synchronise, or link to any other database, or anything. I want to write an interface for this DB, and I don't want to use the live one.
Do I "detach" then "copy" then "reattach" or something? If somebody could give me some rather lame step-by-step instructions I would really appreciate it - I can take this databasse offline, but I really should try to put it back online as soon as possible, and it is essential that nothing changes in between!
I'm a bit nervous about this, if I break this database I'm a dead man. Thanks guys!

Hey all, sorry for asking such a grunt question, and thanks in advancefor any help...My hosting ISP offers access to their MS-SQL database, and myunderstanding is that it's generally simplest to use some sort ofclient app to do stuff like adding tables and whatnot.SQL Server includes Enterprise Manager, but since my ISP is running theserver, I don't need my own copy of SQL Server, just the client.Any tips? I couldn't seem to find an appropriate download on theMicrosoft site...thanks again, -Scott

Hi all,
I'm totally new to SQL Server 2k5 and need to do something rather basic: import some CSV files into tables. I'm getting translation errors and would like to know what's the best way to cast the strings before inserts.
I'm doing the import in BI Development Studio.
Current situation:
Created connection managers to csv files
created SQL server destinations pointing to the tables
connected them directly with a dataflow path
Ran the packadge: one import went just fine, the other one complains about conversion errors like "Conversion DT_STR and DT_I4 not supported"
Both tables have the same kind of fields (varchar, float, datetime, int)
I looked at converting the data using a transformation but am somewhat confused of which one to use.
What's the best way to transform the data before insert: derived column, import column or data conversion? Or something else I overlooked?
TIA
Peter

Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?
Thanks!

Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:
SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',
)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................
how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you

Hello,
I am trying to create a view, but I am having trouble with the syntax (go figure!). It seems that as I reference more and more tables, my result set becomes smaller. For example, I want to return the state for all my customers then everything is fine, but when I want the state plus the site type (home, office, etc.) then I return fewer results. What is would be the correct syntax to use to return all the rows even if some of the columns have NULL?
SELECT TimeZone.LongZone, SiteMain.SiteNumber,
SiteType.SiteTypeDescription
FROM SiteType INNER JOIN
TimeZone ON SiteType.id = TimeZone.id INNER JOIN
SiteMain ON TimeZone.id = SiteMain.TimeZone AND
SiteType.id = SiteMain.SiteType

Excuse my ignorance. I have been reading and studying this stuff
but still some questions.
Table Datatest Table B
ID Q1 Q2 Output ID Field1 Field2
1 Y N
2 Y Y
3 N N
Everytime someone adds a record to Table Datatest I want that ID
automatically
added to Table B.
What is the best way to do that? Is this were I use a trigger and
an
update or is there an easier way? Also case expressions again.
How do I add the results from a case to the same table using a trigger?
Like: 100 for ID 1
223 for ID 2
SELECT ID,
CASE WHEN Q1 = 'Yes' THEN 100
ELSE 0 end +
CASE WHEN Q2 = 'Yes' THEN 123
ELSE
end as Output,
FROM Datatest
Thanks for your help

Here is the scenario:
Table A has customer info (name and address)
Table B is a phone log table...a new row is created for each new call. In the table is a Date (when the customer was called) and a column named 'stage' that will be filled out either with the word 'follow up', 'dead', or null.
So the relationship from Table A to B is 1 to many, respectively.
I want to ask the two tables this question: Give me name and address (from Table A) and LATEST date customer was called, but ONLY if the 'stage' column says 'follow up'.
Here is the problem...Dr. Jones has three rows in Table B, his latest call was today, but stage is set to 'dead'.
His second line in the table was called yesterday, with the designation of 'follow up'.
When I run my query, I pull out the row from yesterday, since it meets the criteria of 'follow up'....but this is wrong, as I only want the latest designation of 'follow up' IF its the lastest date for this customer.
Here is my syntax:
SELECT DISTINCT
MAX(tableB.date) AS latestdate, tableA.CONTACT, tableA.ADDRESS1,
FROM tableB INNER JOINTableA ON TableB.ACCOUNTNO = TableA.ACCOUNTNO
GROUP BY tableA.CONTACT, CONTACT1.ADDRESS1
HAVING (tableb.stage = 'follow-up')

Here is my situation:
Table A has three columns (aaa1, aaa2, aaa3)
Table B has three columns (bbb1, bbb2, bbb3)
Common field is aaa1 = bbb1
I write a query that retrieves 3 rows out of table a
(select aaa2, aaa3
from table a
where (aaa2 = green) and (aaa3 = yellow))
----------------------------------------------------------
When I now create a left outer join onto Table b, and add one more additional criteria to the where exisiting ones(aaa2=green,aaa3=yellow) which is bbb2='white', I expect to at least see my original three rows of data (since of my left outer join), but now only receive 2 rows of data, since the third row does not have bbb2 as white.
Im confused...I was expecting to see three rows of data, with the bbb2 column being null for the third row....but instead I only get two rows of data...how can I write my query that will give me what I expected ?
Thank you
