I received some strange results after typing the wrong column in a subselect using IN. I've been puzzling over it a while now and can't quite figure out why it is doing what it is.
Here's an example of what is happening.
use northwind
go
select * from Customers where CustomerID in
( select CustomerID from Employees where 1 = 0 )
Now, there is no customerid on the Employees table, so running the subquery alone will produce an error. However when the full query above is run, all rows in the customer table are returned.
It was my understanding that the inner querry is evaluated first, and the results used by the outer query. I'm having a hard time seeing how this query is going anywhere.
Hi there,I'm a little bit confused here. I the TOP 1 function with ORDER BY DESC to get the last id in my table but it doesn't seems to work.Here's an example:SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID DESCSELECT ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID ASCSo basically the first SELECT should return the last id value of the second query but it doesn't.The first query gives me that: 60721And the second one gives me that:60680606816068360684606856068660718607196072060721610506112261124So as you can see my TOP 1 ID ORDER BY ID DESC should gave me this result: 61124Am I missing something or... ?Please help me this is aleready in function so I have to fix it ASAP.Thank you, Regards,OR-THO
Hi all,Using SQL Server 2000, SP4.I have a table of street names (Rua) whose ids (cod_rua) are foreignkeys into a consumer table (Consumidor). It turns out that the "Rua"table has many unused records which I'd like to wipe out. For instance,there are some 2800 unused records in the "Rua" table, and only some200 records actually being used by the "Consumidor" table (which,itself, has some 5000 records).Attempting to find the unused records, I issued the following query:a)SELECT COD_RUA FROM RUAWHERE COD_RUA NOT IN (SELECT COD_RUA FROM CONSUMIDOR)To my surprise, the query came out empty. But the following queryshowed the 200 or so records which *are* being used:b)SELECT COD_RUA FROM RUAWHERE COD_RUA IN (SELECT COD_RUA FROM CONSUMIDOR)I've found two solutions for the query to list the records *notexisting* in the Consumidor table:c)SELECT COD_RUA FROM RUAWHERE COD_RUA NOT IN (SELECT COD_RUA FROM CONSUMIDORWHERE COD_RUA IS NOT NULL)d)SELECT COD_RUA FROM RUAWHERE COD_RUA NOT IN (SELECT COD_RUA FROM RUAWHERE COD_RUA IN (SELECT COD_RUA FROM CONSUMIDOR))I know that there are many other possible solutions to the query(including left joins), but what I don't understand is why the query a)failed.Can some of you, oh mighty gurus, enlighten me?For the record, here's how both tables are (partially) declared:CREATE TABLE Rua (Cod_Rua int NOT NULL ,Rua varchar (35) NULL ,-- ...-- other unrelated fields-- ...CONSTRAINT Pk_CodRuaPRIMARY KEY (Cod_Rua))CREATE TABLE Consumidor (Cod_Consumidor int NOT NULL ,Cod_Rua int NULL ,-- ...-- other unrelated fields-- ...CONSTRAINT Pk_CodConsumidorPRIMARY KEY(Cod_Consumidor) ,CONSTRAINT Fk_CodRua_ConsumidorFOREIGN KEY (Cod_Rua)REFERENCES Rua (Cod_Rua))Regards,Branco Medeiros
Bit of an obscure one here, so please bear with me. I have two copiesof a database which should be identical. Both have a complex viewwhich is identical. I can open the views and the data is as expectedand match. I can query it in several ways as detailed below. The 5thversion of the simple query below based on the second copy of the viewfails, but works under the first copy./*1 Statement below works*/SELECT *FROM AgentHierarchyWHERE AdviserId = 6069819/*2 Statement below works*/SELECT *, AH.AdviserLastName, AH.AdviserFirstNameFROM AgentHierarchy AHWHERE AdviserId = 6069819/*3 Statement below works*/SELECT *, AH.AdviserLastName + ', '+ AH.AdviserFirstNameFROM AgentHierarchy AHWHERE AdviserId = 6069819/*4 Statement below works*/SELECT AH.AdviserLastName + ', '+ AH.AdviserFirstNameFROM AgentHierarchy AH/*5 Statement below fails*/SELECT AH.AdviserLastName + ', '+ AH.AdviserFirstNameFROM AgentHierarchy AHWHERE AdviserId = 6069819The error I get is to do with conversion of data within the view. It'sa little complex, but the view works fine. It looks to me like when Irun the 5th statement above, it re-runs the view and then finds anerror.So, I took the complex view and ran that with the data output into atemporary table with the queries above run against that, and it worksfine. The problem is that the statement I need is based around the 5thone above (part of an update statement).I'm struggling to understand why some of the queries above work andone doesn't. If you look at 3 and 5 I'd expect them both to fail. Ifit failed consistently I could get further into it.The problem is that it's a little difficult to get the view itselfchanged as it was supplied by a third party, but if it hasn't changedand the data hasn't changed then it's got to be something else causingthe problem.Anyway, as I said, it's a bit obscure, but if this sounds familiar I'dbe interested in your opinion.Thanks in advance.
Hi,I have written a stored procedure which includes a DATEPART command, i.e.DATEPART(weekday, <date>)The result when ran from SQL Query Analyser is as expected . i.e. Sundayreturns 1, Monday 2, etcWhen the same proc is called from within the Access 2000 project Sundayis returned as 7, Saturday as 6 instead of 1 and 7 respectively.Basically the same stored proc returns different data depending on fromwhere it has been called.This is causing some issues obviously as the resulting tables andreports are showing incorrect data when presented in Access 2000.Has anyone else experienced this before or have any idea what may cause it.Regards,PB
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
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
I 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.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100 SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CountyId IN ( SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId) THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId
[Code] .....
This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?
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.

ErikGalvezMelville82625180.7200000.7307691.24000011322101015 As you can see, all teams except for Safe Haven's have the correct AVG and OBP. Since AVG is simply H/AB, it doesn't make sense for Gabriel Helbig's results to be 1.00000. Can anyone shed ANY light on this please?Thank you in advance,Markuu ***As a side note, could anyone also let me know how I could format the output so that AVG and OBP are only 3 decimal places? (ex: 0.719 for the 1st result)***
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. Example, if I copy and paste V128.0 into an Excel cell it comes out as V128 or if I copy 178.70 it displays as 178.7 - any ideas? I'm using SQL Enterprise Manager for 2000.

I moved a table from one file group to another file group. After moving the table the row count show 0 but when I open the table it’s returning all the rows. Is something wrong with the table? Do I have created a cluster index and drop on the table?
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?
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.

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
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
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 a query as follow: SELECT @resRate = (SELECT resRate FROM ProjectAssign WHERE proNo = (SELECT projNo FROM Timer_Cust WHERE refNum = @actProjNo AND username= (SELECT username FROM Timer_Emp WHERE refNum = @actEmployee) ) ) the definition of table Timer_cust contains refNum(int), projNo(varchar) and projName(varchar).Timer_cust table doesn't contain column username. So this query shoud generate a runtime error. however it works fine without error.But if I run SELECT projNo FROM Timer_Cust WHERE refNum = @actProjNo AND username= (SELECT username FROM Timer_Emp WHERE refNum = @actEmployee)A runtime error message appears.Why?

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?
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.
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 ? ----- HP Server - 2 CPU @ 3,4 ; 4 GB RAM; SCSI - RAID 5 Windows 2000 Advanced Server - SQL Server 2000 SP4
