I have 3 tables in SQL 2005. I have dumbed them down significantly, to illustrate my question.
1) Item Table - Contains a list of 2 items, "Coca-Cola" and "Pepsi-Cola".
2) Market Share - Contains the 'market share' information for the items in "Item Table". 1 to 1 relationship.
3) Retail Price - Contains the 'average retail' price data for the items in "Item Table". 1 to 1 relationship.
All three tables are linked by "iItemID".
I am trying to build a simply query that generates the following results:
Where the first two values for Market Share are repeated again for row 3 and 4.
How do I syntax my SQL statement to return a single data set in the following fashion?
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name Market Share Retail Price
-----------------------------------------------------------
Coca-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
I know this is simple for someone who write queries all the time. But this is driving me crazy. I have tried various JOINS (LEFT OUTER, RIGHT, etc.), but I am missing something.
I have the following SELECT statement. It returns the first record from EVENT_TEACHERS. I want the last record. 'iID' is the unique identifier so I want to select this stuff where iID is max. How can I add this to my string? I can't get the block out of my head of wanting to put the aggregate in the WHERE clause. str = "SELECT vwStaffList4Assessment.*, EVENT_TEACHERS.iID, EVENT_TEACHERS.iAsmtID, ASMT.* FROM EVENT_TEACHERS INNER JOIN ASMT ON EVENT_TEACHERS.iAsmtID = ASMT.iAsmtID INNER JOIN vwStaffList4Assessment ON ASMT.DVN=vwStaffList4Assessment.DVN" Thanks
I am trying to insert to our DB. Here is my insert statement. str = "INSERT INTO SURVEY (q3) VALUES (" & q3 & ") WHERE iID="&iID Here is my debug: DEBUG: INSERT INTO SURVEY (q3) VALUES (1) WHERE iID=23 And here is my error: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I am new to SQL and need some help. Would anyone be able to tell how to write a statmement, that would bring back several columns with specific amounts of spaces in it? I don't want to change the sizes of the columns forever, just for this one query.

Why is my where skewing data? This 1st statement shows everything perfectly, but this go around Ineed to add one more stipulation and adding in the where returns 0 results. But if I run a simple select with the where added, I get the intended result set.
--works with cte as(select *, row_number() over(partition by time1, time2, userID order by userID ) as rn from timetable) delete from cte where rn > 1
--no work with cte as(select *, row_number() over(partition by time1, time2, userID order by userID ) as rn from timetable where timeadded > 0) delete from cte where rn > 1
Below is my SQL code and after that output i get. For result i would like to get SUM of column Expr1 (which is 60.668,66) so that means only 1 row not 5. I know it's not that hard but i've been searching around and trying but no luck...
SELECT INVENTTABLE_1.ITEMID AS MA, INVENTDIM_1.INVENTLOCATIONID, SUM(INVENTSUM_1.PHYSICALINVENT) AS Expr1 FROM dbo.INVENTDIM AS INVENTDIM_1 INNER JOIN dbo.INVENTSUM AS INVENTSUM_1 ON INVENTDIM_1.INVENTDIMID = INVENTSUM_1.INVENTDIMID INNER JOIN dbo.ECORESPRODUCTTRANSLATION AS ECORESPRODUCTTRANSLATION_1 INNER JOIN dbo.INVENTTABLE AS INVENTTABLE_1 ON ECORESPRODUCTTRANSLATION_1.PRODUCT = INVENTTABLE_1.PRODUCT ON

I came to know one of the better option in Oracle SQL for TOP-N Analysis-To find the top 5 usage accounts, top 10 users, etc. Is there any such way in SQL server ?
Is there any ways of using JOINS ( using keyword INNER & OUTER ) ? Some of the scripts that is generated automatically in Microsoft access with Join condition is not even working in MSSQL server 6.5. Is it true ? Or is there any other way that I can use these scripts in SQL 6.5.
If possible, pls. help me with some sample scripts ?
Hi! I need help! We have 98% transact log full. After run DUMP TRANSACTION WITH TRUNCATE ONLY it still doesn't purge the log. How can we resolve problem.
Ok here is the situation I need a little help with.
I am passing an XML document to a stored procedure. My XML document looks like this: <ROOT> <customer ID="10" Address="1234 Somewhere"></customer> <customer ID="20" Address=""></customer> </ROOT>
Now I use sp_xml_preparedocument and OpenXML to Insert the XML ID and Address attributes into a table in my database. The table has 2 fields (ID int) and (Address varchar(100) nullable)
The result of the insertion is 2 rows in my table with the ID field containing (10 and 20) and the Address field containing (1234 Somewhere and an empty string).
My first question is, why isn't the second row Address field in my database null instead of an empty string since thats what I would like happen. Is it because the XML Address atribute = "".
If that is the case then that should bring up my second question. Since the OpenXML inserts Address="" as an empty string instead of NULL, why doesn't a regular TransactSQL INSERT statement called from ASP does the same thing?? If I lost you here then let me give a quick example. An html web form with a text field (txtAddress). The user leaves the text box empty and submits the form. My ASP takes the value of the form, Request.Form("txtAddress") and passes it to stored proceudre through an ASP parameter object. My stored procedure simply does an INSERT into tablename (ID, Address) VALUES (@passedID, @PassedAddress). Now the outcome in the database is that the Address field is NULL and not an empty string.
That is why im confused. Why arent the OpenXML and the straight-forward insertion yield the same result (either null or empty string). It seems to me that an empty text box is an empty string and not null. ASP's ISNull(txtAddress) agrees and returns false.
Any insight ot help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
What I am trying to do is iterate through a set of records from a table, and setting one field to a common value on each record, and setting another to an incremented value. Here it is:
Table contains columns A, B, and C. A is a unique ID. B is an ID. C is another value.
I want to, for all records where field B = "AAA", Set B to "AAB", and set A on each record to the next unique ID that I get from somewhere else. Here's my SQL Stored Proc:
DECLARE MYCURSOR SCROLL Cursor FOR SELECT A, B FROM MyTable where B = 1 FOR UPDATE.
Loop:
FETCH NEXT INTO @vcA, @vcB FROM MYCURSOR. UPDATE MYTABLE SET A = @nctr, B = "AAB" WHERE CURRENT OF MYCURSOR SELECT @nctr = @nctr + 1 If @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 goto Loop:
I hit an error as soon as I get to the Update - "Cursorfetch: Number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns"
Go Figure. I really need an answer on this ASAP! Help!
I have a table named conversion. In this table there is not a field for "first name", but only a field for "last name" and "Contact Name". The "Contact Name" holds the full name (First and Last), and the "Last Name" holds the last name.
In theory I was thinking that I could take the "Last Name" field and subtract the amount of characters + 1 additional (to account for space in between Contact Name Field - FirstName LastName) and then I would have the first name?
I can find the amount of characters in a field name by using this:
SELECT LEN(lastname_column) AS 'Length', lastname_column FROM conv
Here's a fun little puzzle that I thought up based on some rather gnarly problems I faced today. It might brighten up your morning. See if you can figure out what it does and how it does it.
How does it work? When will it fail as written (this example does not fail)? Why will it fail? How can you change it to increae its capacity?-- ptp 20080117 SQL puzzle
DECLARE @iINT , @cVARCHAR(360)
SET @i = 90 SET @c = ''
WHILE 64 < @i BEGIN SET @c = Char(@i) + Space(@i - 64) + @c SET @i = @i - 1 END
1. A duplicate record is defined as a record where PPN_I and CPN_I have identical ID's. My new DB doesn't allow duplicate records. In order to 'strip' out the unwanted records - I need to enforce a couple of data conditions:
I delete both records for this case only - if qty required =1 and a duplicate record has qty required = 0 then both get deleted. In the above example - records 4 & 5 both get deleted. In all other duplicate record scenarios - I want to keep the record with the highest ECN_02 number. So, records 2 & 3 get deleted because they are duplicate (same PPN_I and CPN_I id's) and their ECN_02 is less than the highest value (4506). If no duplicate record exists - no action taken (records 6,7,8).
So, records 4 & 5 - both get deleted. Records 1,2 & 3 become one record (highest ECN_02) records 1 stays - records 2 & 3 deleted.
8 records become 4.
Any thoughts? How do I 'loop thru the table and identify duplicate records and then enforce some kind of rule?
I'm using the Transact-SQL Debugger for the first time here.I go to Object Browser, find my stored procedure, right click andchoose "Debug".The "Debug Procedure" window comes up, and I click on the Executebutton.The Debug environment comes up and automatically executes myprocedure. It doesn't allow me to single step through the code.What am I missing here?All of the "step" buttons, "restart", and "stop debugging" buttonsare dimmed out.Thanks.Ken
Updating the Table . I need to update Two Column .. DEPT and Product .
For a Same EmployeeName DEPT and Product Name should Repeat till Next Value in encountered.
Example For EmployeeName 'A' Dept Value 100 should Repeat till 20 comes, based on Date, because 100 comes before 20 and Project P1 should repeat till P2 comes.
Below is the Sample Source Table.
CREATE TABLE #MYTEMP3 (NAME VARCHAR(50), DEPT INT ,PROJECT VARCHAr(100), ORDERDT DATE) INSERT INTO #MYTEMP3 SELECT 'A',100,'P1', '2015-01-01' UNION ALL SELECT 'A','','', '2015-01-02' UNION ALL SELECT 'A','','', '2015-01-03' UNION ALL

Looking for UPDATE Query . I do not want to use Common table expression to achieve this .
I need the Last 3 (by Date) process Keys , by Catalog and Process_ID. The ID column is an incrementing identity column unique to this table. Process_ID and Process Key are keys to other tables. I need some tips to get started.
I have the below data and want to only show records where Response Column has Max date for the commencement date and expiry date under questions column.. For example for tenantcode 52090 the highest Tab value is 2 but this is not correct as there is no associated value in response.
We need to compare all the commencement and lease expiry dates and show only the commencement and lease expiry with the recent dates. Null should be ignored Instead of using Max Tab or Max Modified date would the below logic work? Not sure how to script this.
1. Filter to find Questions containing "Expiry Date"
2. summarise to find the max expiry date per Tenant Code
I have one requirement where i have multiple tests conducted on different dates where i have to calculate last 'x' no of tests
Test Date Test Seq Subject
1/12/2014 1 English
[code]....
If i enter @testcount=2 then it should pull the data for only data related to test date 1/12/2014 & 10/06/2014...Above data is only sample data but logic should be dynamic..
FOR XML Statement I should use to convert data in the below table to generate xml in the given format? Can it be done with a single statement?
