Transact SQL :: How To Return Number Of Records In Query As If TOP Was Not Used
Jul 21, 2015
What I would like to do is to have a TSQL Select return the number of records in the Result as if TOP (n) had not been used. Example:I have a table called Orders containing more than 1.000 records with OrderDate = '2015/07/21' and my client application has a threshold for returning records at 100Â Â and therefore the TSQL would look like
SELECT TOP (100) *Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc
Now I would like to "tell" the client that only 100Â of 1.000 records are shown in the client application grid. Is there a way to return a value indicating that if TOP (100) had not been used the resultset would have been 1.000. I know I could create the same TSQL using COUNT() (SELECTÂ COUNT(*)Â FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'Â ORDER by OrderTime Desc) and return that in a variable in the SELECT statement or even creating the COUNT() as a subquery and return it as a column, but I would like to avoid running multiple TSQL's. Since SQL Server already needs to select the entire recordset and sort it (ORDER BY) and return only the first 100 the total number of records in the initial snapshot must somehow be available.
I am using SQL Server 2008 as a back end for a Microsoft Access front end. I have created a report that is essentially a Bill Of Lading. The detail section lists all the purchase orders that are being shipped on a single load. The problem with the Access Report is that I always need a set number of records (8) so that the layout is consistent. So, if the query returns 5 records, I need an additional 3 blank records returned with the recordset. If there are 2 records, I need an additional 6, and so on. For simplicity sake the query is:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber=@BOLNumber;Now, I can get the results I want by using a union query for the "extra" records.
For instance, if there are 6 records returned for BOLNumber '12345', I can get the expected results by this query:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber='12345' UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null;
Another solution would be to create a temporary table with the "extra" records and then have only one Union statement. Not sure which is better, but I'm not really sure how to programmatically do either of these. I'm guessing I need to do it in a stored procedure. How do I programmatically create these extra records? One other note.... If there are more than 8 records, I need to return 8 of these "blank" records and none of the real records (hard to explain the reason behind this, but it has to do with the report being only a summary when there are more than 8 records while the actual records will go on a different supplemental report).
In a t-sql 2012 select statement, I have a query that looks like the following:
SELECTÂ CAST(ROUND(SUM([ABSCNT]), 1) AS NUMERIC(24,1)) from table1.
The field called [ABSCNT] is declared as a double. I would like to know how to return a number like 009.99 from the query. I would basically like to have the following:
1. 2 leading zeroes (basically I want 3 numbers displayed before the decimal point) 2. the number before the decimal point to always display even if the value is 0, and 3. 2 digits after the decimal point.
Thus can you show me the sql that I can use to meet my goal?
I want to write a function, which accept 3 parameters, 1 TableName 2 ColumnName 3 DateValue, and returns number of records in that table for that particular date(in parameter date), I have written below function but it is not returning the desired result.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.[f_Rec_cnt] (@InTableName NVARCHAR(100), @InDtColName NVARCHAR(50), @InDate NVARCHAR(50) ) RETURNS INT
The query repeats the Header row value for all children associated with the header.I need the output of the query in XML format such that..For every Header element in the XML, all its children should come under that header element//I am using -Â
SELECT Cols FROM Table Names FOR XML PATH ('Header'), root('root') , ELEMENTS XSINILÂ
This still repeats the header for each detail (in the XML) , but I need all children for a header under it.I basically want my output in this format -Â
<Header > Â <detail 1> Â Â </detail 1> Â <Detail 2> Â </Detail 2> Â <detail 3> Â </detail 3> </Header>
If I just use a simple select statement, I find that I have 8286 records within a specified date range.
If I use the select statement to pull records that were created from 5pm and later and then add it to another select statement with records created before 5pm, I get a different count: 7521 + 756 = 8277
Is there something I am doing incorrectly in the following sql?
DECLARE @startdate date = '03-06-2015' DECLARE @enddate date = '10-31-2015' DECLARE @afterTime time = '17:00' SELECT General_Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) as General FROM Unidata.CrumsTicket ct
I am looking to write a query that returns all records Inserted in the last hour.
The problem, as I see it, is that the column I need to refer to is a VARCHAR() datatype. Can I convert from varchar (example 14:04:31)to a time value and calculate from this ?
I would like to subtract 1 hour from current_timestamp or similar, so that the query dynamically changed.
I have a table which contains a 2 columns "LoanID" and "LoanStatus" and the values in "LoanStatus" are either 0 or 1 in it. If I run a select statement; I get:
LoanID Â Â LoanStatus 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0 2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1 3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1 4 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1 5 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0
I need a query to return the following from the LoanStatus (distinct Values):
1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â NA 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Current -1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Late
I have a query which returns number of columns using pivot ( rows into columns -- dynamic sql pivot columns). Since it is dynamic pivot, how can I bind this returned values into report builder matrix reports.
Look at this example :
First time query returns StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3
Second time query returns StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Col4 | Col5 | Col6 ...
How to bind this query into report builder 3.0 reports?
SELECT table1.col1 ,€™n/a€™ _response FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2
This is the query that get the report data for my report. Now I need to replace the second column with an actual response like €˜accepted€™ and €˜rejected€™. And these values should be a result of evaluation of this form
If(Statusarray.count < 1) Set _response = €˜accepted€™ Else Get Statusarray[1] Compare this to Statusarray[0] Set _response = some result based on comparision.
The _response returned in the query should return the actual response based on this evaluation where ResponseStoredProcedure is sent the current row value for table1.col1.
How can this be done in sql(using SQL Server 2005)
I am working on a query that is quite complex. I need the query to return as part of the fields a field that will contain the total percentage of tickets in a version.The query is below
select cat.name as name,count(distinct bug.id) as numberOfBugs,cast(count(bug.id) * 1000.0 / sum(count(bug.id) * 10.0) over() as decimal(10,2))/100 AS qnt_pct, vers.version, dateadd(s,vers.date_order,'1/1/1970') as "Release_Date" from mantis_bug_table bug INNER JOIN mantis_category_table cat on cat.id = bug.category_id LEFT OUTER JOIN mantis_project_version_table vers on vers.project_id = vers.project_id and vers.version = bug.version
Problem is that if the [Receiving] table doesn't have a match then no records are return. I want all matches from the [Orders Subtable] and any matches from the [Receiving] Table. If no [Receiving] table matches then I still want all matches from the [Orders Subtable]. Attached is the query.
Note: The query has to run in Access 2000 and I will be coding it in VB.
FROM (Orders LEFT JOIN Receiving ON Orders.[Orders ID] = Receiving.[Orders ID]) INNER JOIN [Orders Subtable] ON Orders.[Orders ID] = [Orders Subtable].[Orders ID]
GROUP BY Orders.[Orders ID], [Orders Subtable].ID, [Orders Subtable].Quantity, Receiving.Quantity, Orders.[Project #], [Orders Subtable].On_Order, [Orders Subtable].[Component #], Receiving.[Component #]
HAVING (((Orders.[Project #])="Speed1aaaaa") AND (([Orders Subtable].On_Order)=True) AND (([Orders Subtable].[Component #])="R02101A") AND ((Receiving.[Component #])="R02101A"));
I'm trying to return a query based on the dateadd function. I have a column in the database called date_added which is am successfully using the the DATEADD function above as date1. The Var1 variable I need to populate from the database too from a column called life_span which is an int data type. The error I get is An expression of non-boolean type specified in context where a condition is expected near select
My query is as follows: select guid, dateadd(day,life_span,date_added) as datepayday. From User_table
I don't know why this is so difficult. What I want to do is take a table name as a parameter to build a query and get an integer value from the result of the query. But from all of the research I have been doing, Dynamic SQL is bad in SQL server because of SQL Injections. But my users are not going to be supplying the table names.
Things I have learned:
 - SQL Functions cannot use Exec to execute query strings.  - SQL Functions can return a concatenated string that could be used by a stored procedure to Exec the query string.
So how can I write a stored procedure that will  1. take a parameter 2. Pass the parameter to a function that will return a string 3. Execute that string as SQL 4. Get a return value from that SQL statement 5. Then finally, from a View, how can I pass a parameter to the stored procedure and get the returned value from the stored procedure to be used as a field in the View?
Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are where I am really stuck. I guess I don't know the proper syntax and limitations of SQL Server.
1 Banana2 Orange3 Apple Order tblOrder, tblOrder: CustID; ProductID; Amount
1 ;2 ;$20 – means Peter ordered $20 oranges
How do I write the SQL query so that the values in tblProduct become column, currently I have 20 items in that table. So, it will return something like this according to the information that I provide above?
I get this error when I look at the state of my SQLresults object. Have I coded something wrong?Item = In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user. conn.Open() Dim strSql As String
I have received some data out of a relational database that is incomplete and I need to find where the holes are. Essentially, I have three tables. One table has a primary key of PID. The other two tables have PID as a foreign key. Each table should have at least one instance of every available PID.
I need to find out which ones are in the second and third table that do not show up in the first one, which ones are in the first and third but not in the second, and which ones are in the first and second but not in the third.
I've come up with quite a few ways of working it but they all involve multiple union statements (or dumping to temp tables) that are joining back to the original tables and then unioning and sorting the results. It just seems like there should be a clean elegant way to do this.
Here is an example:
create table TBL1(PID int, info1 varchar(10) )
Create table TBL2(TID int,PID int)
Create table TBL3(XID int,PID int)
insert into TBL1
select '1','Someone' union all
select '2','Will ' union all
select '4','Have' union all
select '7','An' union all
select '8','Answer' union all
select '9','ForMe'
insert into TBL2
select '1','1' union all
select '2','1' union all
select '3','8' union all
select '4','2' union all
select '5','3' union all
select '6','3' union all
select '7','5' union all
select '8','9'
insert into TBL3
select '1','10' union all
select '2','10' union all
select '3','8' union all
select '4','6' union all
select '5','7' union all
select '6','3' union all
select '7','5' union all
select '8','9'
I need to find the PID and the table it is missing from. So the results should look like:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000]
A linked Server was set up against a remote database to backup a database and it runs perfectly well when executed directly against the remote server but returns the above error when set up through Sql Server Agent. Permissions are good as the step returns success. I reset the query timeout property to zero but error persist. What else should I be looking at to make this work?
I am trying to return the number of records found by the query but keep seeing -1 in label1. This query should return many records. sub findcustomers(sender as object,e as eventargs) dim connection1 as sqlconnection=new sqlconnection(...) dim q1 as string="select * from tblcustomers where store='65'" dim command1 as sqlcommand=new sqlcommand(q1,connection1) dim a as integer command1.connection.open() a=command1.executenonquery() label1.text=a.tostring() command1.connection.close() end sub What am I doing wrong?
Can Somebody please show me how to acheive this, using the order details in Northwinddatabase or any other good example. as much details as possible. Many Thanks!
Hi, I got a problem. I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version. And I created a Compact database. I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form. then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me. After that, I used program to insert record into this table. Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records. I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right? Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
I'm using the query desinger in ASP.NET , however the number of recordsin the resultset are not displaying, so I cut and paste it into Queryanalyzer which is silly.How do I set this in the output window, or result grid?Thanks Moe
This one is making my head hurt! Â Trying to figure out how to query for records between date range. Â The records have a start_date and an end_date field. Â The end_date field maybe null.
For example, say you wanted to see the records of everyone checked into a hotel during a given date range. Â You need to account for the people that checked in before you @start_date parameter and may check out after your @end_date parameter. Â
fyi- As for the null end_date field, think of this as they have checked in and not sure when they will checkout yet.
