I need to subtract the values of the totals of two document types in a table. So far I have the following with the results as shown.
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT { fn MONTHNAME(DOCDATE) } AS [MONTH], DOCID, SUM(DOCAMNT) AS TOTAL
FROM dbo.tblSales
WHERE (DOCID = 'RTD') OR
(DOCID = 'INV')
GROUP BY DOCID, { fn MONTHNAME(DOCDATE) }
ORDER BY DOCID DESC
This results in the following:
Month DOCID TOTAL
MAY RTD 165752.87
MAY INV 18149416.37
I need one value showing the difference of the totals.
Thanks.
Hi, to keep things short, I have a query like this : SELECT A AS A, SUM(B) AS B FROM CC WHERE A IN (1,2,3) GROUP BY A
I want to be able to SUM the field B when A is equal to 1, and substract the field B when A is equal to 2 or 3. So I know SUM is incorrect there, cuz sometimes the field B must be added, and sometimes it must be substracted. What's the easiest way to do it?
For example, if the fields B in the database has the values 3, 5, and 7, the query would go something like 3+5-7, giving 1 for B at the end.
I'm having a bit troubble creating a SQL-sentence which substract the newest row from the second newest row in the same column. The table looks like this:
Pricecalcid Date Price Itemid
2000 2006-12-12 3000 100
2488 2007-10-11 2800 100
3100 2008-08-07 2500 100
What I need is that the largest "Pricecalcid" that is 3100 equals "Price" 2500 and the second largest "Pricecalcid" eqauls 2800 results in a pricecalculation that substracts 2500 from 2800 for "Itemid" 100.
I am getting two dates each of which I calculate using a subquery (joining 2 or 3 tables) Then I perform datediff on these two dates to get a interger values (No of Days)
I need to substract the weekends from this No of days How do I accomplish this
how do I gradually add o substract numbers in a column for example if I have
total deposito test
120
120
80 40
77
117
7
124
4 120
i need in the test column: if the number is in the total column the number in test is added if the number is in the deposito column the number in test is substracted
i have this query:
SELECT gir_cantidad as total,null as deposito,'operation' as test
FROM giros inner join corresponsales on cor_corresponsal_id = gir_corresponsal_id where gir_fecha >= '11/21/2007' and gir_fecha <= '11/22/2007 23:59:59' and gir_fecha_anul is null and gir_agencia_id = 1
UNION
select null as total,paa_valor as deposito,'operation' as test from pagosagencia where paa_fecha >= '11/21/2007' and paa_fecha <= '11/22/2007 23:59:59' and paa_agencia_id= 1 order by gir_fecha
In column test i need the functionality to add and subtract the columns total and deposito
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's got to be a better way...
I have a question about creating a user defined type: I'd like to create a table of employee objects which include objects of the type employee_t. I used this structure before in Oracle 9i and would like to know how it can be done with MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005, preferably with Enteprise Manager/Management Studio. Below is an example.
CREATE TYPE employee_t AS OBJECT ( name VARCHAR(10) jobDesc VARCHAR(15) ... )
I need to store a list of parameters in a database. Each parameter has a name, description, comment and a value. Easy so far.
However the values are of different types. Each individual parameter has a value which may be of type int, decimal, string, boolean, custom type etc.
Which table design pattern is most appropriate? We have a heated in-house discussion and I need supporting arguments.
Options explored so far:
1) (De-)serializing the value to a string-type. 2) Adding a column for each type, using only one column at a time. 3) Adding extra value-tables, one table for each type. The disadvantages for each option are obvious and the basis for our discussion.
Your help in this matter will be appreciated. Regards, Tonn
Hi, Can anybody give me some information on Table data types of SQL2K. How and where can it be used. Does it make the queries faster, in case there are many users using ? Please could anybody give me these details, to make me decide whether I can use it or not ?
Our database stores vehicle data in one table, but 3 different types of data are stored in the one table. The table contains all the columns for all 3 types so when you query the table you get at least 3 rows back with null values for all the columns that don't apply to that record. The data is imported to the table when it's updates so there's a possibility that they're updated at different times so they have a different BATCH like:
BATCH TYPE ID RATING INSURANCE SAFETY 300 SAFE 123 NULL NULL A 300 INS 123 NULL YES NULL 250 RATE 123 A NULL NULL
What I'd like returned is: ID, RATING, INSURANCE, SAFETY 123 A YES A
I'm trying to do a case statement to pull the data down, but I keep ending up with multiple rows because of all the nulls. I tried doing a SUM of the case statement with an ISNULL(SAFETY,0) but I can't SUM char values. I can probably do this with 3 temp tables to load the data that I want for each TYPE into them and then select and join them together, but is there a better way to do this?
Hi,Can anybody tell me if it is possible to return a table data type (asopposed to a temporary table) from a stored procedure.I am currently studying for 70-229 using the Thomas Moore book but itdoesn't really make it clear, as the text suggests you can't returnthem but some of his sample questions suggest you can.I can't make it work in Query Analyser so I am assuming that you can'treturn them. Is that correct?Thanks in advance for any help,Simon.
This question is around how we can get the data types and lengths populated into the flat file source columns.
In Connection Manager, you have your flat file defined. You can choose "Suggest Types...", and the minimum lengths and correct data types will be returned from within the data in the flat file.
Is there some way to automate this data type definition, but coming from the other direction (coming from the destination table that we are loading)?
For example, you have mapped the columns that will be loaded. Can you then reverse engineer the data types and lengths for the columns in the flat file from the destination table?
     field ([idConteudo] [int] NULL)     to      ([idConteudo] [BigInt] NULL)
Or really should drop and create again?
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[tbProjeto] AS TABLE( [dsConteudo] [varchar](64) NOT NULL, [idConteudo] [int] NULL, [dtConteudo] [datetime] NULL DEFAULT (getdate()) ) GO
I am trying to produce a matrix (crosstab) report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Report Designer, where the column headers contain a binary data type storing a png image.
By just simply using the report wizard and assigning the binary (image) data value to the column headers, and then previewing the report, I get following error:
An error occurred during local report processing.An error has occurred during report processing.The Group expression used in grouping 'matrix1_COMPETITOR_EMBLEM' returned a data type that is not valid.
Is there any way to include binary data types, or images per se from the database into a matrix or even table item in a report ?
I have a table with a datetime field 'TheDate'. Currently dates are stored as 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00'. Is there a way to get just the month, day and year parts, '01/01/2008' into the field without changing the field data type to varchar? I'm asking because when I do this:
update TheTable set TheDate = substring(convert(varchar,TheDate,101),1,10)
I'm still getting a date in the format 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00' stored in the table. I'd like to be able to lose the time portion, but I'd like to be able to keep the datetime datatype for date math purposes. Can it be done?
I have a indexing problem. I have a sequence that needs to has a index number. I want to use a table data type and have a working sample BUT I cannot reseed the table when needed. How do I do this.
This works only for the first ExitCoilID then I need to RESEED.
I am trying to create a clustered index on a View of a table that has an xml datatype. This indexing ran for two days and still did not complete. I tried to leave it running while continuing to use the database, but the SELECT statements where executing too slowly and the DML statements where Timing out. I there a way to control the server/cpu resources used by an indexing process. How can I determine the completion percentage or the indexing process. How can I make indexing the view with the xml data type take less time?

I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped: [Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE] One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination

I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.Â
Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi, Please help me to know this question. How many types of UDF are in SQL SERVER 2000? Please tell me if anybody knows the answer. Thanks in advance, Joydeep
HI i have a big problem i have an exericse to do on SQL for school but i havne tbeen told what they are. All i have to do is to match the follwing togehter and say why they would use it any ideas?
in my work I use some "objects", that i tune using "Parameters" So i have table MyObjects And ObjectParameters-OP In the table OP i want field for Parameter Type(Type)... now i using type Varchar(63) and then i need for parameters of money type, i will get it by SELECT * FROM ObjectParameters WHERE Type = 'money'... at the sql.ru i got an answer, where they suggest me using type "sysname", in MSDN i have found that it is equivalent nvarchar(128), i a cant find any differences between my solution and sql.ru solution.
AND main question is.. can i using ID for my types from View sys.types, And can i be sure that it will be the same ID in another version SQL Server (like 2000, 2008) or another installation of SQL Server for same type...
Hi, When creating a database in the Management Studio, you get to select the database owner, and should that be usually the Administrator and ASPNET account?Also, what is this Object Types option for? There seem to be only one "Login" option in there, what does that serve as?
