Syntax Needed

Jul 4, 2007

I am querying a SQL Server 2000 server remotely and have couple of small syntax problems using the WHERE Clause in a Select statement

1. I wish to extract all records where the first 2 characters of a Varchar field (postcode) do not start with 2 specific characters (BT)

2. I wish to extract all records where a Char field is not blank (ie has at least 1 character in it)

Many thanks

Mike

Syntax Check Needed On Case Statement

Feb 26, 2008

Hello experts!

I have a case statement that provides filtering of hours during certain days of the week. An example is the data I want to show on Sunday is different from the rest of the week. I am using....





Code Snippet

WHERE ((CASE WHEN Datepart(dw, TestDateTime) = 1 AND datepart(hh, TestDateTime) BETWEEN 8 AND 22 THEN 1 WHEN Datepart(dw, TestDateTime)
>= 2 AND datepart(hh, TestDateTime) BETWEEN 6 AND 23 OR
datepart(hh, TestDateTime) BETWEEN 0 AND 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) >= @ShowCore)


Esentially it gives a parameter (@showcore) to where it shows the filtered hours when 1 is selected, and all hours if 0 is selected.


Basically, Sunday I want to show transaction from between 8am and 10pm, All other days would be 12am - 2am and 6am to 11:59:59 when selecting 1 as the parameter.


Any help is appreciated.

Incorrect Syntax Near The Keyword CONVERT When The Syntax Is Correct - Why?

May 20, 2008

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.

Which Is Faster? Conditional Within JOIN Syntax Or WHERE Syntax?

Mar 31, 2008

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!

Converting Rrom Access Syntax To Sql Syntax

Sep 23, 2007


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

Hi all,I am trying to write a stored procedure, which has two insert statements.the first insert statement, is simple which inserts data into a table and returns the primary key for the new row added. using this primary key, i am writing another insert statement, which passes a list of elements which would be then entered into another table, with the primary key of the first table.Is this possible to do in a single stored procedure? I have implemented this using two different sp, but am wondering if it can be done other way?thanks for your help!

SQL Help Needed.......

Mar 25, 2004

Access 97.................

I'm trying to construct the following SQL statement but am missing something somewhere.

I get a syntax error with the 1st FROM highlighted.

If i construct a query out of the bit that works and then construct a query on that query then i can get it to work no problem but how to mimic that in SQL ? I can't simply view the SQL of the queries because the query names replace the SQL statements.

I'm trying to SUM the 5 volumes that get returned by the TOP 5 SQL statement. The VotingUniverse_TotalVolumeByType query returns the TotalVolume which will enable me to divide the SUMmed 5 volumes by the TotalVolume to obtain a %age.



SELECT
Type,
Sum(Volume) AS Volume,
TotalVolume
FROM
>>>>>>>>>>this following bit works............
(SELECT TOP 5
VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Type,

Immediate Help Needed!! Thanks A Lot!

Aug 15, 2002

I have a xxx.exe running on SQL 2000 server as a sql job every hour. For some reason this job sometime just hung in the middle and never finish. But
if I stop it and rerun it, it will be down within 10 seconds. I am wondering
if we can set up something so that the job aborts automatically if it ran more than 10 minutes.

Help Needed!!!

Feb 22, 2001

Hi everyone.

We are running Sql 6.5 sp5 on a Pentium II 350 Mhz with 512 Mb. RAM, 1 ScSi 4 Gb hd, one 8Gb ScSi hd and 2 IDE hd (13,6 Gb and 8Gb) computer running windows NT 4.0 sp 6 without any problems.
Now have bought a new computer. The new one is a Pentium III 733 Mhz 512 Mb Ram with 2 ScSi ultra wide 2 18Gb each and one 40 Gb Ide Hd. We have installed windows NT 4.0 sp 6 and Sql 6.5 sp 5. We have restored our database to make some tests to it. The database is 7 Gb big.
The results of our test are that the old computer is between 20% and 30% faster than the new one when doing sql instructions and using the database even knowing that the hd´s of the new computers are 4 times faster than the old ones.

Would you please give us any help or clue that would make the new computer go faster?
We know that upgrading to sql 7 will work but we need first to make this computer work better with the 6.5.
Thank you.

DTS Help Needed!

Oct 12, 2004

I often use DTS to move databases between the servers. When you choose "Transform" data and “Column Mappings and Transformation” window opens, the default option is “Append rows to destination table”.
Question: Is there a way to change the default option to “Delete rows in destination table”, so I wouldn’t have to go thru the transformation of dozens of tables every time I move databases around.

P.S. I know that I can save DTS package with my settings and use it later. The problem is that every time it might be different database or objects might change. So, it is not a solution for me.

Thanks

SQL DB Help Needed!!!

Jul 25, 2007

Dear All,

I have a client requirement. We are integrating two applications. So the problem is that, whenever some updates (meaning to say "create" , "delete" , "update") happens in the SQL DB Tables, i needed to track that data and send it to a different system.

What I have thought abt is that if SQL could generate a file with all the values deleted/updated/created in the DB, then I could take those values and do the needful. Please help me..

Thanks,
Sanjo

Is It Needed?

Feb 26, 2008

Hi experts,

I am upgrading my database from SQL Server 2000, SP4 to SQL server 2005, SP2.

1) Is it required to recreated my user defined functions? I mean drop them and recreate them again?

2) Do I need to recreate the views and Stored procedure?


3) Do we have a checklist from Micorosoft for upgradation?


Thanks in advance

Regards
Sachin

SQL Help Needed

Jul 20, 2005

I have a tableCreate Table Payments {paymentid int,customerid int,amount int,date datetime}What I want is the sum of the amounts of the last payments of all customers.Now the last payment of a customer is not necessarily the one with thehighest paymentid for that customer BUT it is the one with the highestpaymentid on the MOST RECENT date. We dont keep the time part just the dateso if there are more than 1 payments of a customer on a date ( and there aremany such cases ) only then the paymentid decides which is the last payment.Further the last payment may be the last as of today but I may want to findthe sum of all the last payments upto say March 1, 2003or any date. My own solution is too slow even it is correct.SELECT SUM( AMOUNT )FROM PAYMENTS AS P1WHERE PAYMENTID =( SELECT MAX( PAYMENTID ) FROM PAYMENTS AS P2 WHERE P1.CUSTOMERID =P2.CUSTOMERID AND DATE =( SELECT MAX(DATE) FROM PAYMENS AS P3 WHERE P3.CUSTOMERID = P2.CUSTOMERIDAND DATE < #9/8/03# ))What would be the most efficient solution to this.Both in SQL Server and in Access 2000thx in advance

where convert(varchar(8), StartTime, 8) between '18:59:59' and '07:00:00'



By the way, there are a multitude of records that I'm looking for in the table.
