Strange Problem With Top Clause

Mar 5, 2008

I don't have this problem on my local machine, but if I run this statement against the database provided by my hosting service provider I always got a "Incorrect syntax near '(' error".
This statement is here: Select Top(10) From dbo.Album;
As you see it is so common, a text book example, but it just doesn't work.
The database provided by the hosting company is SQL Server 2005 Standard.
The problem can be avoided if I change statement to "Select Top 10 * From dbo.Album", however, I would like user to specify search criteria, the value of "Top" clause has to be an parameter.
So, if I run "Select Top(@count) * From dbo.Album" the same "Incorrect syntax near '(' error" shows up again.
Any body has the same problem as me?

T-SQL : Order By Clause Is Just Strange

Mar 19, 2008

Hi! I think the order by clause is driving me crazy.The following T-SQL query works: SELECT
count(*) AS c
From F_POST
Where id=@id
Order by c  Ok, so far so good, but in the following case it is NOT possible to order the result set according to "count(*)": Select
T_Date AS TDATE,
count(*) AS c
From F_Post
Where id=@id
Order By case when @OrderBy = 1 then c
elseT_DATE DESC  This is just strange since it is essentially the same query!? Furthermore, it seems to be inpossible to have a order-by-clause that looks like:  Order By case when @OrderBy = 1 then T_Column1 ASC
elseT_Column2 DESC

 Does anyone know how I can implement querys that do (almost) exactly this what the last 2 querys "should" to do?

Strange, Very Strange (BIDS)

Jul 19, 2006

Hi everyone,

I€™m suffering a queer behaviour when I use BIDS. Concretely, when I open a dtsx from my project (it has 10 packages) many times Sequence Container and Data Flow tasks are invisible. I mean, its lines are not visible at all whereas its titles are. I mean, what you see is just a white box€¦

Then, I€™m gonna Data Flow layer and I have to do double-clik over the tasks and are visible but on Control Flow I don€™t see how to solve.

Curiously in our development and production server such behaviour doesn€™t happen (we are accessing by mean Terminal Server from our workstations)

How odd!. Everything is fine except this.

I want to remark you that such project has been copied from the server, this is, these packages are been built on the server

Thanks for your thougts or ideas,

Transact SQL :: How To Create UNION Clause With Two Queries That BOTH Have WHERE Clause

Nov 4, 2015

I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?

I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....

I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.

Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

Filtering Results In The Where Clause Vs A Having Clause

Oct 25, 2007

I am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.

When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:

UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN

(


SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

GROUP BY TrackID

HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND


TrackID + 'x1' IN


(


SELECT

dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions


ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)

)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.

I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?


UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1

AND TrackID IN
(



SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID

WHERE TrackID + 'x1' IN


(


SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions


ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID

)
GROUP BY TrackID

HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1

)

Expression Defined In SELECT Clause Overwrites Column Defined In FROM Clause

May 14, 2008

2 examples:

1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id


Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id






Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11


if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

2) SQL server reject query below with next message

Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.




Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id




Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.

It reproducible on

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)


and


Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS

If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.

Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

Having Clause Without GROUP BY Clause?

Nov 20, 2004

Hi,

What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?

eg :

SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5

SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5

I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.

Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.

Thanks,
Gopi.

Diff In On Clause And Where Clause?????

Apr 4, 2007

hi..
i have basic question like

what is differance between conditions put in ON clause and in WHERE clause in JOINS????

see conditions that shown in brown color

select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)


select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate,
d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator
from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2
on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID
AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitIDAND d1.ListType = d2.ListType
AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null)
AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null)
whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND
(d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID
OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL)
OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL)
)

another thing...

if we put AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitID condition in second query then shall we remove
d1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID from WHERE clause????

Strange Fix

Aug 2, 2006

Hi,
I have table in my db thats used as a temporary table. At the end of the day it contains thousands of records which get summarized then all are deleted. I recently moved the application over to a new server with pretty much the same hardware config and noticed a big performance hit when running queries on this temp table (455 milliseconds as opposed to 1) In short, the fix was dropping the table and re-creating it.
Anybody know how this could be? I know that even if you delete records from a table, the table still seems to retain its physical size on the hard drive, could this have something to do with it?

Thanks

Strange!

May 4, 2004

CREATE TABLE #users(users varchar(50),pasw varchar(50),title varchar(50))
insert into #users select 'test','abcdef','ceo'
SELECT * FROM #users
alter table #users alter column pasw nvarchar(50)
update #users set pasw=pwdencrypt(pasw)
SELECT * FROM #users

What happens to the TITLE column?
I had a table like the above with users and passwords in the Production DB. The password column had VARCHAR type. I changed it to NVARCHAR and encrypted the passwords. When i executed the SELECT *, the title column appeared like this. :eek:
If i query the table by column names instead of * i see the correct values. I couldn't understand what behaviour is it.

Howdy!

Strange Error

Aug 3, 2006

I am using c# and ASP.NET 2 and I am getting a very strange error. I
have a field called CompanyID in SQL Server 2005, and it allows null
values in it. When this CompanyID is not NULL, ie for example it is
202, then when i press the update button it allows me to update
perfectly in the database. However if the CompanyID is NULL,
and I try to update the companyID, to lets say 202, the application
just crashes with the following message:- System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I tried to set some breakpoints in the application to debug, however it does not even pass through these breakpoints! Any ideas on what the problem can be or how I can debug? Thanks for your help and time Johann

Strange Behaviour

Oct 3, 2006

This is the actual statement displayed from Response.Write in classic ASP. INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '06-012497',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'2006-Oct-3',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum = '000002' There are 4 records returned from the SELECT part of the statement. In some situations, 4 records are inserted to WOTasks table, in others, only 1 record is inserted. I can't find out why 1 record, instead of 4, record is inserted. A form page submits the form to the save page using post method. The above statement is contained in the save page. When one of the form textbox is filled, 1 record is inserted. When the textbox is not filled, 4 records are inserted. You may think the textbox has something to do with the behaviour. I also think so but the content of the textbox does not affect the sql statement. In both cases, the insert statement is the same. In the actual codes, only strings in quotes are variables and the rest are hardcoded. When I run the statement in SQL Server, 4 records are affected. No such problem when connected with Access.The actual code belowSub AddTask(ByVal proc, ByVal wonum)   Dim sSQL   sSQL = "INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '" & wonum & _          "',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'" & curDate & "',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum='" & proc & "'" 'Response.Write sSQL:Response.End   conn.Execute sSQL, , 128 End Sub

Strange SQL Issue

Hi there I have this statement I have written as follows:strCommand = "SELECT * FROM tblstock WHERE Type='"&Statement &"' AND Description like'"&criteria &"%' OR Tag like'"&criteria &"%'OR Location like'"&criteria &"%' OR LAN like'"&criteria &"%' OR RAM like'"&criteria &"%' OR CD like'"&criteria &"%' OR OS like '" &criteria &"%' OR SN like'" &criteria &"%' OR DeviceStatus like'" &criteria &"%' ORDER BY " &sSortStr     The variable "Statement" is passed into the sub as "PC"  which means only records of type "PC" should be displayed along with any other criteria.  The issue I'm having is that when I specify criteria I'm also recieving other types eg "Cameras" if they contain any of my criteria..  I can't understand how because in the statement I tell it only to display records of type "PC".. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

i have four separate jobs which run at scheduled time daily..out of which one job has run properly and the other three have not run at all(there is no details of it in "View job history")for only one day in between..again from the next day all the four jobs are running properly.what could be the reason for the three jobs not running on a particular day?(The jobs were scheduled between 3 and 4am in the morning..so nobody would be using the system at that time and the system was definitely up at that time as that one job has run)
i could afford to have such strange behaviour in future as the jobs are important and should run daily.any ideas by which i could make sure all four jobs run daily?

Strange Indexes.

Feb 6, 2001

We've been finding some strange indexes in our SQL 7 database. They are not indexes we put in, but seem to be system generated. They always have the format "hind_" and then a series of numbers and underscores. Most of the time they replicate indexes we already had in place. The strangest part is that in some cases they seem to be generating multiple clustered indexes on the same table. A previous question recieved an answer saying that they were statistical indexes. Could someone shed a little more light on what these are, where they came from, and how I can prevent them from coming back? Our queries usually take much longer on tables with these "rogue" indexes on them. Thanks.

Strange Behavior

Nov 29, 2005

I have a SP that usually works fine (0-16 CPU time, 40 ms Duration), but from time to time the server hangs with apparently no reason. The SP has a lock timeout set to 500, so it should abort if a lock timeout error (1222) occurs but it doesn't. The Profiler reports very long execution time (over 30 sec), and because of that all other SP calls are blocked, 'cause the transaction opened by the first sp execution is not finished yet.
Any other attempts to identify other blocking queries did not show me anything suspect (sp_lock, dbcc opentran) other then the usual blocked chain. I'm starting to think about an IO bottleneck, or IO failure, that could block the disk access and cause the delay. The status of RAID 5 is healthy.

The server is used as storage system for a website (approx. 2000 concurrent users), and occasionally I noticed an ASP queue, but this strange behavior occurs even during the peak-off hours.


Any thoughts ?

Strange Table

Apr 24, 2006

I have a table. It shows "Rows: 2" when I open it in the table properties dialog. But there is no record in the table when I open it from Open Table -> Return All Rows.

I don't understand how this can happen. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
