Transact SQL :: CASE - Maximum Number Of WHEN / THEN Conditions
Oct 20, 2015
I need to update many rows in some table. I've made such SQL query:
UPDATE [%TableName%]
SET [%FieldName%] = CASE
WHEN ID = 1 THEN '1'
WHEN ID =2 THEN '2'
....
END;
[%FieldName2%] = CASE
WHEN ID = 1 THEN '1'
WHEN ID = 2 THEN '2'
....
END;
WHERE ID IN {1, 2, ...}
Are there some limitations for CASE operator? How many "when - then" conditions can I include in query?
I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.
SQL Server 2000 8.00.760 (SP3)I've been working on a test system and the following UDF worked fine.It runs in the "current" database, and references another database onthe same server called 127-SuperQuote.CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFormattedAddress(@WorkID int)RETURNS varchar(130)ASBEGINDECLARE@Address1 As varchar(50)@ReturnAddress As varchar(130)SELECT@Address1 = [127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.Address1FROM[Work] INNER JOIN[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany ON [Work].ClientID =[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.CompanyIDWHERE[Work].WorkID = @WorkIDIF @Address1 IS NOT NULLSET @ReturnAddress = @ReturnAddress + @Address1 + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10)RETURN @ReturnAddressENDSo now the system has gone live and it turns out that the live"SuperQuote" database is on a different server.I've linked the server and changed the function as below, but I get anerror both in QA and when checking Syntax in the UDF builder:The number name 'Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany' contains more than themaximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFormattedAddress(@WorkID int)RETURNS varchar(130)ASBEGINDECLARE@Address1 As varchar(50)@ReturnAddress As varchar(130)SELECT@Address1 = Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany.Address1FROM[Work] INNER JOINZen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany ON [Work].ClientID =Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany.CompanyIDWHERE[Work].WorkID = @WorkIDIF @Address1 IS NOT NULLSET @ReturnAddress = @ReturnAddress + @Address1 + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10)RETURN @ReturnAddressENDHow can I get round this? By the way, I've rather simplified thefunction to ease readability. Also, I haven't posted any DDL because Idon't think that's the problem!ThanksEdward
I have created a local user on Report Server Computer and the user has the administrative rights. When i try to connect Report Server (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/reportserver) with this user's credantials. (ReportServer directory security is set -only- to Basic Authentication. ). I get the following error.
The number of requests for "XXXServerXXXUser" has exceeded the maximum number allowed for a single user. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL Server Reporting Services
Then i try to login using a different user with administrative rights on the machine, i can logon successfully. The system is up for a month but this problem occured today?!? What could be the problem?!?
MAX(Vernum) AS test, MAX(Case WHEN A2.AttrID = 2 AND A2.DefID = 10057945 THEN A2.ValStr END) AS TYPE_DOCUMENT
This works not perfect. In many cases I have more then one row and my query takes the max value of column Valstr. Thats is not exactly what I want. I'd like to have the value of Column Valstr of the row where column Vernum has the maximum value.
I've tried many things like:
MAX(Vernum) AS test, MAX(Case WHEN A2.AttrID = 2 AND A2.DefID = 10057945 AND A2.Vernum=test THEN A2.ValStr END) AS TYPE_DOCUMENT
OR
MAX(Vernum) AS test, MAX(Case WHEN A2.AttrID = 2 AND A2.DefID = 10057945 AND A2.Vernum=MAX(A2.Vernum) THEN A2.ValStr END) AS TYPE_DOCUMENT
Hello people,I might sound a little bit crazy, but is there any possibility that youcan incorporate 4^15 (1,073,741,824) tables into a SQL Database?I mean, is it possible at all? There might be a question of whereanyone would want so many tables, but i'm a bioinformatics guy and I'mtrying to deal with genomic sequences and was coming up with a newalgorithm, where the only limit is the number of tables I can put intoa Database.So, can you please advise if its possible to put in so many tables intoa SQL database? Or is the Bekerley DB better?
I have a query that pulls records from a table based on whether is matches one or more of several criteria. I'd like to be able to order the results of this query by the number of conditions a particular row met. So a row that met 3 conditions would rank about a row that only met 2. So far I haven't been able to dent this with any attempt so I'm open to any suggestions.
I am trying to do a simple update in one sql table from another where a certain condition in both tables are met.I am missing something basic and have tried numerous posted examples, without success.Here is my code (that does not update) :
if SQL SERVER 2000 only allow 8060 bytes per row, then how can it store images or CLOB data? Is there a way that would let us change the maximum number of bytes per row? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have conducted a thorough search in the forums and cannot quite find my answer. I have a date field called open_date. If the open_date is more than 30 days old, I need to count it. I have started with the following code:
SELECT 'Older_Than_30Days' = CASE WHEN open.date >= 30 THEN '1' ELSE '0" END
I have following query. Now I want to change this in such a way that if Condition 1 satisfies then it should not go to next condition ,if not then should go to next. Similarly the same format till condition 4.
select * from table where IND = 'Y' and ( (STATE = @STATE and LOB =@LOB and COMPANY=@COMPANY)--Condition 1 OR (STATE = @STATE and LOB =@LOB)--Condition 2 OR (STATE = @STATE and COMPANY=@COMPANY)--Condition 3 OR (STATE = @STATE)--Condition 4 )
I am reading SQL Server 2000 Black book (Coriolis publisher) and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Optimization guide (Jenney Lynne Fields PH publisher).
In the Black book page 56, it says :"..up to a total of 16 instances. In the optimization guide page 144, it says :"There is no theoretical limit to the number of instances of SQL server you can run simultaneously..."
I take error 610 "Maximum number of databases that may be accessed by a transaction is 8. This number has been exceeded by this query" when I execute a SELECT query.
My db contains two table Employee_detail and Student_Detail.Employee_detail has Emp_id and Student_Detail has stud_id.Now my problem is that i want to get one maximum no from these two table.
I need a small SQL server for up to 10 users. If I understand the EULAs and FAQs correctly, there is no limit on the number of users imposed by the SQL Server 2005 Express license. If so, then the number of users is only limited by the OS's license so all I need is SQL Server 2005 Express (free), Windows XP Pro (10 users limit) and no CALs for either Windows or SQL Server.
I am trying to setup transactional replication between Server A and Server B. There are 265 databases on each server.
I am running SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003. The problem comes in at the 201st database. The message in the SQL Server Agent Error Log is :
Warning,[398] The job (WSSWPG09-EmpirePaint-WSSWPG06-104) has been queued because the maximum number of working threads (400) are already running. This job will be executed as soon as one of the working thread finishes execution.
SQL Server's max worker threads is set to 0. The Distribution, LogReader and T-SQL subsystems have been increased to 200 max_worker_threads.
Is there some other setting (maybe a Windows Registry setting) that can be configured to fix this? Or have I just hit a physical maximum of the processor?
I am upgrading from Access, where you can only have 10 fields in a primary key or unique index. Is this also the limit in SQL Server? If not, what is the limit?
I am adding a table within my vb.net program using New datatable(tblname) function, then adding 22 columns (col01 to col22) to this table using .columns.add (colname) function without any error.The program however throws an exception when trying to assign a value to column number 14 (col14) saying this column does not belong to table tblname. Assigning a value from col01 to col13 is working fine.Is there a limitation on number of columns can be added to a table using code?
I have a problem with a piece of code, which updates some tables using transaction. This process brings the program to a halt when updating large files.
With smaller files, the process finishes without problems.
I have noticed that, if a comment out the "begin transaction" and respective "commit", the same code executes without problems, even when updating large files.
I suspect that there is a limit on the number of records a transaction can hold before a commit is issued. I am surprised however, that SQL Server halts, without messages or warnings.
Is this a configuration issue? If there is a limit on the number of records a transaction can hold, what is this limit:? Anything I can do to have a warning form SQL Server when a situation like this is reached (or indeed to avoid this situation) ?
My team at work has spent the past week troubleshooting performance issues experienced by users of our asp.net 2.x web application. We've got a probe running on one of the web servers that has identified a frequently occuring error that no one has seen before and I can't find anywhere online. MSSQL error "system.data.oledb.oledbcommand.executenonquery(Maximum number of unique SQL exceeded) Has anyone here ever seen this error before?The web server, application, SQL servers and databases all seem to be configured properly, but users are experiencing latency and this frequently occurring error is a mystery to us.
I have a Sqlserver 6.5 production server used for web based applications Compaq 5500 4 GIG RAM, 4 processor
Sql Memory config on that server is 1048576 (which is 2048 MB) and the run value is 640000 (which is 1250 MB). runvalue for user connections was 500
We have only 90 user connections may increase upto 100 depends on the connections. We don't have any overload on that server.
Error: I was seeing "unable to connect maximum no. of 500 configured user connections are already connected" in the error log.
Action Taken:
I increased the user connections to 600 and rebooted the server. Immediately the same error I can see in the error log. But we have only 20 user connections at that time. I can able to connect.
