I have a subquery that retunrns multiple lines. To solve it, I have used the List function. The separation of List function is comma.
TblBill is in the main query with many other tables.
(Select List(tblBatch.batchnr) From tblBatch where tblBatch.tr_id = tblBill.kfr_trans_id ) As Batchnr
This subquery returns: B12, B13, B14, B43 and so on...
Now I want to use SUM from another field (quant) from table tblBatch in the subquery and then separate those with a line break instead of comma. Batch number may occur several times and I want to summarize these
I have a specific variation on the standard 'Column Invalid' question: I have this query that works fine:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC , vd.RType
[Code] ....
When I add this second average column like this:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,
[Code] ....
I get the error: Column 'dbo.vwData.Response' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Clearly things are in the right place before the change, so I can only assume that the OVER clause is my problem. Is this just not possible?

With Sybase, easily : Select t.pub_id, list(t.title_Id) from publishers p, titles t where p.pub_id = t.pub_id And I 've got all the titles in a comma-separated string by publisher !!!!
So, with SQL Server, I suppose that if I want the result by publisher, I must imbricate two cursors !!!
Perhaps I dream Or can somebody see a better solution ???? Thanks
I've recently read in Joe Celko's "SQL For Smarties" book that there is a LIST() function in Sybase's SQL Anywhere that will aggregate string data into a single comma separated column.
Unfortunately, this command is not supported in T-SQL. Does anyone know how to achieve a similar result with conventional SQL, where I want to aggregate string data into a single column.
Here's my task. Say I have two tables, tParents and tChildren, a parent has many children. I want a sql statement that returns one row for each parent and the multiple children associated to each in a single comma separated column, i.e
Joe Blow 'Child1, Child2, ...' Parent2 'Child4, Child5, ...'
The SQL with this LIST() function would look like:
Select Parent, List(tChildren.Child) as Children From tParents, tChildren Where tParents.PID = tChildren.CID Group By Parent
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am trying to select a group of records based on a parameter valuepassed to the db from a web page. The value comes in as @Status andhas a list of statusID's: (1,2,5,9) I've tried to use"Where table.status IN (Select * from @Status AS ValueList)"And also tried"Where table.status IN (@Status)"And neither worked. Any suggestions?
I have do a sql function for return a list of element from a query send in variable.
When I test the function on self I have no problem.
But when I use the function in a sql query I have problem.
example :
Code SnippetSELECT APPLI_SUPPLIER.N_SUPPLIER_ID, APPLI_SUPPLIER.V_SUPPLIER_LABEL, dbo.APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM('SELECT DISTINCT APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE FROM APPLI_CONSTRUCTION INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE IS NOT NULL) AND (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2,3,4,5,6))') AS V_PROCESS_ITEMS FROM APPLI_SUPPLIER INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_SUPPLIER.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
This is the error :
Server: Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Procedure APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM, Line 24 Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
When I do an exec of the function I have this problem :
Code Snippet exec APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM('SELECT DISTINCT APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE FROM APPLI_CONSTRUCTION INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE IS NOT NULL) AND (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2,3,4,5,6))')
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'SELECT DISTINCT APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE FROM APPLI_CONSTRUCTION INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE IS NOT NULL) AND (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2,3,4,5,6))'
This is the function
Code Snippet CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM] (@QUERY AS VARCHAR(3900)=null) RETURNS varchar(8000) AS BEGIN -- Insert statements for procedure here declare @v_List_ITEM as varchar(8000) set @v_List_ITEM='' if @QUERY is not null Begin declare @cur_Lect_ITEM CURSOR; declare @FUNCTION AS NVARCHAR(4000); Declare @ITEM as VARCHAR(255); SET @FUNCTION = 'set @mainCursor=cursor for ' + @QUERY + ' for read only open @mainCursor'

I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE Jim 4444/ 6666 Bob 5555 7777 --BookingRef FGHIJ Jenny 8888/ 9999/ 3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
Hi,I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from awhole column, where each row would be separated by a comma.I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created afunction using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution..so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.The problems I'm facing are, that I can't use dynamic sql in afunction.. and I also can't use temporary tables which could build up a'standard' table from parameters given to then perform the function on.So, with these limitations, what other options do I have?Cheers,Chris
A question that may have been asked on many occasions, but what can be advised as the best way to migrate a Sybase 11.x DB to SQL 7.0, (without using BCP). Does DTS support such migrations and if so, where in DTS can this be done? I'd appreciate any basic help here to get me started on this exercise. MAny thanks
We have Trading Applications (Equities & Portfolio written on C++) on MS SQL Server 2000. Now the management is deciding to move it on Sybase 12.5. We currently don't have any issues on any matter, but because everyone is SYbase fan here, thinks applications are critical and we need to move to Sybase. Can anyone who has worked on both knows the major pros & cons of both the system. Actually I wanted these systems to be on MS SQL Server. I need solid reasons except being cheaper than Sybase to show why we should use MS SQL Server
If anyone can share their experiences, it would be really great.
Has anyone ever experienced compatibility and/or performance issues when SQL 2K and Sybase are run concurrently on the same server? I believe the server is using Windows 2K3.
Hi, I have a situation where in I need to insert a record in sybase database table whenever there is an update on a table in my sql server database. Can any one suggesst me hoe can I do it? thanks In advance Mohan
We have created linked servers that connect to Sybase databases using the Sybase OLE DB provider and the Sybase ODBC provider.
The OLE DB provider does not allow the execution of a stored procedure. The message sounds like a permissions issue, but the id specified in the linked server has execute priv. for the stored procedure. It also does not allow the fully qualified name <server>.<db>.<owner>.<obj> to be used.
There are other issues with OLD DB and ODBC.
Anyone have any experiences making MS SQL to Sybase work smoothly?
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "ASEOLEDB" for linked server "[SERVER_NAME]"
The current setup: Our primary database is on Sybase, I needed to extract hierarchical (nested) XML from multiple tables on Sybase. Although Sybase ASE 15.5 has `FOR XML` query capability it does now allow nested XML format. So we used the 'FOR XML', XML functionality in SQL Server (as we had a SQL Server 2008 database available which is used for a smaller system) to query Sybase tables through a Linked Server connection.Our sample nested XML Format is similar to:
I need to configure snapshot replication (Pull) on Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005 (acting as Distributor, Subscriber) for Sybase server (acting as Publisher). I have the Sybase ASE client and ODBC driver installed on the Distributor. Can anyone help me add Sybase server as the publisher? Oracle publisher is allowed in Enterprise edition, but sales representative had said that we could have ODBC compliant server as the publisher. There is no option to select a different publisher other than SQL Server publisher, Oracle Publisher. If anyone knows how to do, please let me know.
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName".
To anyone who knows how to use sybase. One of our guys has put in a sybase system and not told the rest of us about it and know their is a problem and it is in my lap. Surprise, surprise. Just asking does antyone know how to rebuild a sybase database after it has been recovered from previous data and is now twice the size that it was origonally. Please help if any one can>
I want read only connection to Sybase server from MS SQL Server 2000. I think Link server should be best solution. Can anyone guide me as help shows link of Oracle but not sybase. any help is apreciated. I've written following on creating link server from ER ProductName : Sybase ASE Datasource : Server A providerstring: DRIVER={Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider};SERVER=unixbox,45 10;UID=sa;PWD=abc1411'
I've installed Sybase client 12.0 and have created the DSN (it is successful, connection is established) but when I run this ActiveX Script from DTS Package it give me error Data Source Name not found and no default driver specified

Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") msgbox "set oConn" Set RS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") msgbox "RS" (I've tried both open statement in both it gives me same error) oConn.Open = "Driver={Sybase ASE ODBC Drivers};Srvr=Server1;Uid=sa;Pwd=password"
I'm trying to configure replication between a Sybase ASE Database Server and SQL Server 2000. Sybase ASE Database will be the Publisher and SQL Server will be the Subscriber. Can anyone advise me on how I can go about setting up the replication for this?
Hi, Could anyone refer me any kind of tools or process to convert from SYBASE to SQL SERVER 2000. My complany is trying to migrate from SYBASE to SQL SERVER 2000. Any help is greately appreciated! Thanks.
Could anyone please let me know which is the best way to Synchronise a Sybase database with a MS SQL Server 2000 database.That is , the changes made in the Sybase database should be reflected in the SQL Server database.
I have a module in power builder with Sybase database as its backend. The other modules related to the same application are running on Delphi with SQL server as backend.
My requirement is to sync between the Sybase database and SQL server (2000) in order to update the SQL server with all the transactions ( online ) done in the Sybase database.
I would like to create a linked server from SQL Server to Sybase IQ. I have created linked servers before so I know how to do that. However, I dont know the specifics of creating a linked server to Sybase IQ.
What are the parameters that are necessary to link IQ to SQL Server. Which Provider do I use? Do I need to install a special driver?
Has anyone had problems using an OLEDB linked server connection to Sybase ASE 12.5? I'm having major performance problems when I use string criteria in the where clause. Queries that return 1 row and execute in less than a second using a native Sybase connection take 40 seconds to run using the linked server OLEDB connection. If I use ints in the where clause performance is almost exactly the same between native and linked connections.
Hi all, I am Migrating a database from sybase to sql server 2000. I Have already created objects in sql server 2000. I have to only populate it with the data. I have decided to genrate insert script from the aquadata tool and run the script againgt sql server database. It works fine except for few table which have 1,50,000 and 9,00,000 rows. It shows insufficent memory error when i try to run the script with 1,50,000 and the script with 9,00,000 doesn't open in management studio. Please help.
