Sql Syntax Equivalent
Mar 12, 2007
Hello,
In this sql syntax
Quote: "SELECT table1.ID, table1.Catagory, table1.PostCount, table1.LastPostDate, table1.Description, table2.Username, table2.ID AS UserID FROM Catagories AS table1 INNER JOIN Users AS table2 ON table1.LastPostBy = table2.ID"
Is this the equivalent?
Quote: “SELECT table1.ID, table1.Catagory, table1.PostCount, table1.LastPostDate, table1.Description, table2Username, table2ID AS UserID FROM Categories AS table, Users AS table 2 WHERE table1.LastPostby = table2.ID”

Hi everyone, I am new to SQL, and would really appreciate help with this.
I have a database with the following fields:
IDNumber: sequential running from 1 to approx 50000
SURNAME: Surname
FNAME: Forename.
I want to return the last 100 IDNUmbers and return the surname and fname associated with the IDNumbers.
When I try TOP it gives me IDNumbers 1 to 100, is there an equilvant for the bottom 100 numbers.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Scott

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

I have looked around and found the equivalent for IIF (Access) to be aSELECT CASE in SQL. I have tried this with no success. I am also lookingfor the equivalent of MAX and have had no luck. The portion of thestring I am trying to SQL'ize is:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN FROM ADCNINNER JOIN Sheet ON ADCN.RecordID = Sheet.RecordID WHERE (Sheet.Drawing= '" & x & "') AND (Sheet.SheetNumber = 0);This portion is the most important:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Recently, my company's deveolpment machine crashed. We had to format the harddrive which meant we lost some of our databases.
We managed to restore the databases, but we do not know in what state, i.e. which stored procedures were written between the restore point and the point the machine crashed.
Tow questions related to this:
1. I was wondering if there is any product that is similar to soursesafe but appied to databases, so that this problem will not happen again. Does Enterprise manager do something like this?
2. I was also wondering if there was anyway to undo an sql command. e.g. my colleague recently ran a command to update a database, but forgot to write the where clause!! That data was recovered aswell, but it would be nice to have some sort of undo button.
Thanks in advance.

What is the equivalent to autonumber in SQL 7? I ported over some data into SQL but when I bring it up in Access 97 as linked tables it shows that
what used to be autonumber in Access is listed only as number in SQL. So what is the equivalent to Autonumber in SQL?

I have 2 SQL statements in Visual Basic(with sybase as backend)
1) "set option DBA.MAX_STATEMENT_COUNT = 1069999900"
2) "set option DBA.MAX_CURSOR_COUNT = 1069999900"
And when I migrated the DB from Sybase to SQL server and try to run the vb code it is giving me error in that SQL statement as MS SQL server might not be recognising the above two statements. Is there an equivalent of this in SQL server.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm creating a view in SQL and am looking for something equivalent to the IIF ststement in Access.
Basically I want to create 2 new columns, which are based on the result of 1 of the other columns.
So if in my columns I have :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO
11 - Fred - 0 - 09:00 - 10:30
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30
etc, etc, etc
I want to add the first new column saying something along the lines of "If Flag = 0 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
and then add a second column saying "If Flag = 1 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
Therefore the above would show :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO - NEWCOL1 - NEWCOL2
11 - Fred - 0 - 10:00 - 10:30 - 0:30 - Null
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30 - Null - 4:00
etc, etc, etc
This in turn would give me 2 new columns which would show value 1 and value 2 - 1 being where the flag is not checked, and 2 being where the flag is checked.
Does this make sense ?

Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish

Hi everyone,Please excuse me if this has been asked before or sounds a bit dim.This is a question asked on another forum but the solutions beingoffered are focussing on programming rather than letting the DB serverdo the work, which I'm not sure is the most efficient solution.However, my confession is I dont use SQL server so can't help themdirectly with the syntax. Hopefully you can help me help them and learna little about SQL Server in the process.Trying to right pad a first name field so the padded string is a totalof 30 chars. It will be output concatenated with the last name field,and each field separated with a "|". So that when output it readssomething like:fname | mylastnameSyntax given was:select id,substring((last_name+','+rtrim(' '+isnull(level,'))+''+rtrim(isnull(first_name,'))+space(30)),1,30)+ ' | ' as student_namefrom studentIssue: It appears this is padding correctly but the spaces are notrendering in the browser. (I have no way to check this as I don't usesqlserver. However, I can understand that multiple spaces are not goingto render in the client browser, if indeed the query is padding withspaces.Question: Instead of using space(), can replicate() be used and aunicode space representation rather than an actual space be used? Or,is there a better way that will ensurethe padding shows in browser?I guess a fixed width font would also need to be used otherwise the30-char blocks could wind up being different widths, which would defeatthe purpose.If there is something I've missed, or you have any suggestions, I'mkeen to learn.TYhanks in advance,Lossed

Hi Folks,
Is there any effcent way of copy bulk records from SQL2000 to SDF ? The approach I am using at moment is manually concatenate insert CommandText based on the value datatable from SQL 2000. However, it's not very effcient and I am getting timeout on a table that has around 30 fields and 3,600 records.
Can any one think a better way of doing bulk insert on SDF? Both schema on SQL 2000 and SDF are exactly the same.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have a table with a count of 30K rows that describe values over a period of time. I would like to be able to replicate the PERCENTILE_CONT function that is found in Oracle with MS SQL Server 2005 but have not had much success.
Would anybody know of a way to use current MS SQL syntax to retrieve the value of the 5th,10th,15th,20th etc... percentile of my table values? Assume that all of the values are associated with the same key. Oracle gives you the Percentile_Cont function for inverse percentile calculation but what does SQL2005 give you?
Sample Table Structure:
ID int, Timestamp datetime, Value int
