Syntax To Abandon SELECT On First Occurrence Of Criteria?
Nov 6, 2013
Have a need to scan a large table to see if a set of criteria have ever been met.
If/when the scan hits its first record meeting the criteria, the scan can be abandoned.
Is there some syntax/option that accomplishes this?
Right now, I am doing a SELECT with criteria against the table and the @@ROWCOUNT gives me a zero, or non-zero value.
But that methodology means that the SELECT has to execute against the entirety of the table.
I'd like to abandon the SELECT as soon as it detects a first record meeting the criteria.

I have a problem creating a SELECT query which involves getting the FIRST occurrence, the SUMS and the LAST occurrence of a selected row. I have two tables A and B which has the following data:
Table A
----------------------------------------------------------------
|Item ID | Item Name | Item Description | Current Quantity |
----------------------------------------------------------------
----1------------Bolts-------------35"----------------20
----2-----------Paint----------GOLD Paint------------30
----3-----------Screws------------30"----------------40
----------------------------------------------------------------
and Table B
--------------------------------------------------------------
|Log ID | Item ID | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending | Date |
--------------------------------------------------------------
---1---------1----------30-------0-----10------20------04-04
---2---------2----------40-------10----10------40------04-04
---3---------3----------50-------5-----10------45------04-04
---4---------1----------20-------0-----0-------20------04-05
---5---------2----------40-------0-----10------30------04-04
---6---------3----------45-------0-----5-------40------04-04
-------------------------------------------------------------
and I have two datetime pickers, one FROM date picker and a TO date picker If a user selects FROM 04-04 TO 04-05...I want a select statement which will select the Item Name and Desc, the BEGINNING QUANTITY (in reference to the FROM DATE), the SUM of Adds and Less and the ENDING QUANTITY (in reference to the To Date) and then group by their Item ID
In this case, it will generate a table like this
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name | Item Desc | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending |
-----------------------------------------------------------
--Bolts---------35"---------30---------0-----10-----20
--Paint-----Gold Paint------40---------10----20-----30
--Screws-------30"---------50---------5-----15-----40
"SELECT A.Item Name, A,Item Desc, B.Beginning=(select B.Beginning from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID AND Date = From Date), SUM(B.ADD), SUM(B.LESS), B.Ending=(select B.Ending from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date = To Date) WHERE A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date(B.Date)>From Date AND Date(B.Date)< To Date group by B.Item ID order by A.Item Name, Item Desc"
My query returns the right Item Name, Desc, the Sum of Add and Less.My problem is that I can't get the value of my beginning and ending.I think I have a problem in A.Item ID = B.Item ID. As I tried a fixed value condition, (B.Item ID = 2), it will get the right result), I'm guessing the program is not getting A.Item ID.

Dear all,
I need to ignore the hours minutes and seconds elements of a datetime field - I've got a way of doing this in my select statement but it seems to be this can't be the most efficient way!
CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(nchar(10), db.tab.field, 101)) AS date_key
Is there a better way?

I need a little insight on how to select the same field from the same table, but for different criteria.
here are example tables...
Categories
CATSUBCATNAME
10MainTitle
11SubTitle #1
12SubTitle #2
20Section
21Section #1
DataTable
CATSUBCATINFO
11Detail Information for subtitle #1
12Detail information for subtitle #2
desired result would be:
MainTitle, SubTitle #1, Detail Information for subtitle #1
MainTitle, SubTitle #2, Detail Information for subtitle #2
Select c1.Name, c2.Name, d.info
from DataTable d, Categories c1, Categories c2
where c1.CAT = d.CAT
and c2.CAT = d.CAT
and c2.SUBCAT = d.SUBCAT

I have the following Select SQL Statement in which I get the count of the 'Code' column based upon a criteria and Group By clause:BEGIN
SELECT Code, COUNT(Code)as exprCount1a
FROM dbo.[Test]
WHERE Section = '1' and Item = 'a' GROUP BY Code ORDER BY Code
END
The results of the statement:
Code | exprCount1a
1 22 44 1
I would like the following results:
Code | exprCount1a
1 22 4
3 04 1
Note: Code ' 3 ' doesn't have any rows that meet the select count statement criteria but I still need to populate ' 0 ' in the results.
Thank you in advance

I am trying to create a SELECT statement that would allow my users to type in a date parameter like 6/25/04. My SELECT statement would then pull all entries for that date. The problem I am running into is that it seems SQL wants the date to be parameterized as between 6/25/04 and 6/25/04 11:59:30 PM. Is there any way around that? Again I would like my users to simply enter 6/25/04 and have all entries pulled. Thanks for any help.

I have the following query that should return the most recent FormNote entry for a work order where the note begins with "KPI". However if someone decides to a more recent note, it selects that one, even if it doesn't begin with "KPI".
I would like it to return the most recent record that ALSO begins with "KPI". How can I correct this?
Select wh.worknumber, wh.date_created, wh.itemcode, wn.TextEntry as [Notes] from worksorderhdr wh left join
(select ID, WorksOrder,[CreationDate], TextEntry
from
(
select ROW_NUMBER()over(partition by worksorder order by [CreationDate] desc) OID,*
from FormNotes
)orders where orders.OID=1 ) wn on wn.WorksOrder = wh.worknumber where TextEntry like 'KPI%'
Sample results below, see line 5 - this record should not have been selected as there is a record beginning with "KPI" for that work order, but it is dated before this one.
worknumber date_created itemcode Notes

Hi
I would like to get records from a table and present a result set based upon the search fields
the search fields could be any of the following: PNo, Year, JNo, C1No6, C2No3, C3No3, C4No3,
they could enter any combination of these however if they dont enter any of the above then the search should not retrieve any thing. the table colunms are listed below and asample data set is also shown below.
Currently the only way i think it can be done is by writing multiple queries with different queries to be executed based upon the search field that have been filled? can it be done in a stored prcedure? and can it be done using non-dynamic sql?
Name, PNo, Year, JNo, C1No6, C2No3, C3No3, C4No3, RefImage

I would like to write 1 proc that can take additional criteria if its sent in. An example is:
select HA.PriceId, HA.VendorPackageId from Criteria HA Inner Join
(
select VendorPackageId from ValidVendorPackages
where Vendor = @VENDOR
and Sitecode = @SITECODE
and PackageType = @PACKAGETYPE
)HB on HA.VendorPackageId = HB.VendorPackageId
and CriteriaId in
(
select CriteriaID from ValidItemCriteria
where Destination = @DESTINATION
and LengthOfStay = @LENGTHOFSTAY
and Ages = @AGE
and ComponentType = @COMPONENTTYPE_1
and ValidItemType = @VALIDITEMTYPE_1
and ItemValue = @ITEMVALUE_1
)
Multiple @COMPONENTTYPE, @VALIDITEMTYPE,@ITEMVALUE can be sent in.
Instead of making multiple procs or copying the proc multiple times with an if statement at the top checking the number of parameters that aren't =''. Is there a way to exectue:
and CriteriaId in
(
select CriteriaID from ValidItemCriteria
where Destination = @DESTINATION
and LengthOfStay = @LENGTHOFSTAY
and Ages = @AGE
and ComponentType = @COMPONENTTYPE_1
and ValidItemType = @VALIDITEMTYPE_1
and ItemValue = @ITEMVALUE_1
)
and CriteriaId in
(
select CriteriaID from ValidItemCriteria
where Destination = @DESTINATION
and LengthOfStay = @LENGTHOFSTAY
and Ages = @AGE
and ComponentType = @COMPONENTTYPE_2
and ValidItemType = @VALIDITEMTYPE_2
and ItemValue = @ITEMVALUE_2
)
and CriteriaId in
(
select CriteriaID from ValidItemCriteria
where Destination = @DESTINATION
and LengthOfStay = @LENGTHOFSTAY
and Ages = @AGE
and ComponentType = @COMPONENTTYPE_3
and ValidItemType = @VALIDITEMTYPE_3
and ItemValue = @ITEMVALUE_3
)
Ignoring the 2nd 2 selects if @COMPONENTTYPE_2, @VALIDITEMTYPE_2,@ITEMVALUE_2 and @COMPONENTTYPE_3, @VALIDITEMTYPE_3,@ITEMVALUE_3 are = ''

Let me start with saying thanks to all of you who have helped me (I'm a SQL newbee after doing OO for the past 12+ years)
I need to do several aggregates on multiple columns, with each column having different SELECT Criteria.
Sample Data:
Dept Project Cost CostFlag Schedule ScheduleFlag
D1 D1P1 495 1 135 3
D1 D1P2 960 2 70 2
D1 D1P3 1375 3 105 2
D1 D1P4 1050 2 160 3
D1 D1P5 1890 3 40 1
D2 D2P1 650 1 155 3
D2 D2P2 890 2 125 2
D2 D2P3 1235 3 85 1
D2 D2P4 430 1 140 3
D3 D3P1 1960 3 45 1
D3 D3P2 1490 3 85 1
D3 D3P3 1025 2 135 3
D3 D3P4 615 1 100 2
D3 D3P5 270 1 70 1
D3 D3P6 815 2 155 3
I need to calculate MEAN (average), Standard Deviation, Variance, Range, Span & Median for each data column (Cost, Schedule in the test data), where each data column has different selection criteria. I have the calculations working for each column individually (e.g. funcCalcCost, funcCalcSchedule), but I need to return the calculated values as a single data set:
SELECT Dept, Project, AVG(Cost) as Cost_Mean, MAX(Cost) - MIN(Cost) as Cost_Range, .......
WHERE CostFlag = @InputParameter
GROUP BY Dept, Project
The code above works great - but only for a single column. I need to return a dataset like this:
Dept Project Cost_Mean Cost_Range
D1 D1P1 495 135
D1 D1P2 960 70
D1 D1P3 1375 105
I need to return a dataset like this:
Dept Project Cost_Mean Cost_Range Schedule_Mean Schedule_Range
D1 D1P1 495 135 100 28
D1 D1P2 960 70 42 12
D1 D1P3 1375 105 91 38
I also have working code calculate the MEDIAN (what a pain that was, thank god I found a code example to get me going on the MEDIAN)
Thanks!

SELECT (JUL_CURR_CREDITS + JUL_CURR_DEBITS +
AUG_CURR_CREDITS + AUG_CURR_DEBITS +
SEP_CURR_CREDITS + SEP_CURR_DEBITS +
OCT_CURR_CREDITS + OCT_CURR_DEBITS +

APR_CURR_CREDITS + APR_CURR_DEBITS +
MAY_CURR_CREDITS + MAY_CURR_DEBITS +
JUN_CURR_CREDITS + JUN_CURR_DEBITS) as CURR_AMT
I need to sum these amounts running from July to the month prior to whatever the current month is. So if it was August, it would only be
Code:
SELECT (JUL_CURR_CREDITS + JUL_CURR_DEBITS) as CURR_AMT
Is there a cleaner (shorter) way to iterate through the twelve months than either writing the query 12 times in an IF statement, or 12 CASE statements? This is only part of a query that joins several tables (not shown).
Any suggestions on the best way to write this would be valued.

I have a dataset where i want to select the records that matches my input values. But i only want to try macthing a field in my dataset aginst the input value, if the dataset value is not NULL.
I always submit all 4 input values.
@Tyreid, @CarId,@RegionId,@CarAgeGroup
So for the first record in the dataset i get a succesfull output if my input values matches RegionId and CarAgeGroup.
I cant figure out how to create the SQl script for this SELECT?
My dataset
TyreIdCarIdRegionIdCarAgeGroup
NULLNULL1084 2
65351084 1

Hi! I'm new to SQL and have a question...
I'm writing a script that gathers a few variables from an outside source, then queries a table and looks for a record that has the exact values of those variables. If the record is not found, a new record is added. If the record is found, nothing happens.
Basically my SELECT statement looks something like this, then is followed by an If... Else statement
SELECT * FROM TableName
WHERE LastName = varLastName
AND FirstName = varFirstName
AND Address = varAddress
If RecordSet.EOF = True Then
'Item Not Found, add new record
'code to add new record......
Else
'Item Found, do nothing
End If
RecordSet.Update
RecordSet.Close
Even when I try to delete the If.. statement and simply display the records, it comes up as blank. Is the syntax correct for my SELECT statement??

Hello:
I need assistance writing a SELECT statement. I need data from a table that matches one (or more) of multiple criteria, and I need to know which of those criteria it matched. For instance, looking at the Orders table in the Northwind database, I might want all the rows with an OrderDate after Jan 1, 1997 and all the rows with a ShippedDate after June 1, 1997. Depending on which of those criteria the row matches, it should include a field stating whether it is in the result set because of its OrderDate, or its ShippedDate. One way of doing this that I've already tried is:
SELECT 'OrderDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE OrderDate > '1-1-1997'UNIONSELECT 'ShippedDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE ShippedDate > '6-1-1997'
In my application, scanning a table with thousands of records for five sets of criteria takes a few seconds to run, which is not acceptable to my boss. Is there a better way of doing this than with the UNION operator?
Thank you

For example, consider the following queries:
DECLARE @SomeParam INT
SET @SomeParam = 44
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID
WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
Thanks.

I have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.

Hi,everyone.
Today I met with a interesting problem. According to Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 BOOKS ONLINE, there is following SELECT Syntax:
(1) SELECT @local_variable (Transact-SQL)
For example:
DECLARE @i int
SELECt @i=100
(2) SELECt QUERY statement:
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT ]
[ TOP expression [ PERCENT ] [ WITH TIES ] ]
<select_list>
<select_list> ::=
.....
For example,
[AdventureWorks]
SELECT * FROM DatabaseLog
To my surprise, in the given project, I met this kind of SELECT statement,
DECLARE @w_type varchar(10), @i varchar(30)
SELECT @i='3'
SELECT @w_type='OLTPNORMAL' WHERE @i IN ('0','1','2','3','4','5','9',)
SELECT @w_type
The result is:
OLTPNORMAL
However, I have not met with the kind of SELECT statement before. Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

I am having trouble with this statement. I am returning multiple rows because I am doing the select statement within the loop. I need to keep the loop somehow because of the where clause of the select statement:
'AND @start not in (select sh_istart from casemas where sh_istart in (select sh_istop from casemas where sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)))
and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop'
Is there anyway that I can maintain the ability to use the loop but not do mutiple select statements like below:
Also I'm trying really hard not to use temp tables in this example
Result from select statement below
sh_serial

53565
53597
sh_serial
-----------
53565

sh_serial

53588
53597
Desired results:
sh_serial
-----------
53588
53597
53565
Syntax:
declare @start int
select @start = 580
declare @stop int
select @stop = 900
while @start <= @stop
begin
select sh_serial,
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and (sh_serial <> 600000)
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)
and sh_serial in
(select distinct sh_serial
from casemas, schilin
WHERE (schi_shser = sh_serial)
and (schi_itemno = '004852')
and sh_serial in (53565,53588,53597)

and @start between sh_istart and sh_istop
group by sh_serial
having (sum(schi_qty) + 1 < 4 ))
select @start = @start + 1
end
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! :o

Hi,
I looked up select case statements and have used them for returning single values, but can't seem to get it working when returning a select statement..
I have my SPROC configured as below, can anyone help me out as to why its not working?
btw previously I had been using something like below, but in this case it wont work as I have to make more changes than just the WHERE genderID = @genderID (hmm, hopefully that makes sense, if not ignore my example lol)
IF @genderID > 2
..
ELSE
........WHERE genderID = @genderID
thanks very much once again!

Hi,
Simple question:
Is there any way to write this in a shorter form:
SELECT fcol like 'X' or fcol like 'Y' or fcol like 'Z'
Maybe something like (which I know it won't work but just to give you an idea what I am looking for)
SELECT fcol like ('X' or 'Y' or 'Z')
I know of this (Full query), but it doesn't work with WILD card characters
select ftype
from engecnentries
where ftype in ('%cone%','%basin%')
any ideas?

I have a table that has unit id, date, time, etc. I would like to select each unit id with the last date it has in the table. The result should have each unit listed once with the latest date in the table.
For Example:
unit id Date Time
00100 01/12/2007 8:00
00100 01/12/2007 8:45
00200 01/12/2007 8:50
00100 01/13/2007 13:30
00300 01/13/2007 13:45
00100 01/14/2007 11:00
00200 01/14/2007 11:30
the result should be:
00100 01/14/2007 11:00
00200 01/14/2007 11:30
00300 01/13/2007 13:45

Hello, I have the following query. When I run the query I get the following error message: "Incorrect syntax near keyword SELECT"--------------------------------------------------- SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY DateAdded) AS rownum, * FROM SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Videos.VideoId, Videos.UserId, Videos.UserName, Videos.Title, Videos.Description, Videos.Tags, Videos.VideoLength, Videos.TimesHeard, Videos.ImageURL, Videos.RecType, Videos.Language, Videos.Category, Videos.DateAdded, Videos.RewardProgram, Videos.EditorChoice, TB2.hitsFROM Videos LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT VideoId, COUNT(*) AS hits FROM (SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT UserId, VideoId, COUNT(*) AS cnt1 FROM Hits GROUP BY VideoId, UserId) AS TB1 GROUP BY VideoId) AS TB2 ON Videos.VideoId = TB2.VideoIdORDER BY TB2.hits DESC) AS T1WHERE rownum <= 5----------------------------------------- If I run the query that is in BOLD as: SELECT *
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY DateAdded) AS rownum, * FROM Videos) AS T1 WHERE rownum <=5the query runs just fine. Also if I run the query that is NOT bold (above), it also runs fine. What can I do to run them both together as seen above? Thank in advance,Louis

I'm trying to help out a beginning DBA and come up with a SQL query. Here is the information I've been given so far.
"I have a SQL database (TEST1_new) with several tables. I need to have some values updated in one of the tables HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1). I need the value that exists in the QTY_SHIPPED field to be divided by 250. I also need to include a WHERE statement for the PLANNED_SHIP_DATE greater than 11/15/2004 and a CATALOG_NO =18053185292 or 18053185285.
Basically, what I need to do is take the value for QTY_SHIPPED for Catalog_NO 18053185285 & 18053185282 and divide the result by 250"
After reading through her statement above about 10 times and guessing a bit, here's what I was able to come up with. I'm sure the syntax is not correct but maybe it's close to being what's needed?
INSERT INTO HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB1()
(SELECT dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB.QTY_SHIPPED LIMIT 1) /250),PLANNED_SHIP_DATE from dbo.TEST1_new.HARR2APP.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_TAB
WHERE CATALOG_NO = ‘18053185292’
OR CATALOG_NO= ‘18053185285’
AND PLANNED_SHIP_DATE > ‘11/15/2004’;
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Chris.

This (demo) statement is fine in Access, and so far as I can see, shouldbe OK in SQL Server.But Enterprise Manager barfs at the final bracket. Can anyone helpplease?select sum(field1) as sum1, sum(field2) as sum2 from(SELECT * from test where id < 3unionSELECT * from test where id 2)In fact, I can reduce it to :-select * from(SELECT * from test)with the same effect - clearly I just need telling :-)cheers,Jim--Jima Yorkshire polymoth
