Is there any reason to use the WITH statement rather than putting a SELECT in a JOIN? Does one method perform better or is it just a matter of preference?
View 3 RepliesI have the following sql string in my asp.net, its meant to retreive a value based on a text box value being "like" a value from my database, however when i place a word in the textbox nothing happens, can someone please take a look at the statement and see if its well formed,
String sql = "SELECT fName FROM Customers WHERE fName LIKE " + "'" + fName.Text + "/%' OR PostCode= " + "'" + Postcode.Text + "'";
Hello,
This may be a strange request, but I am going to ask about it anyways.
Say for example if I have a table named TEST and in the table there is a column named NUMBERS, such that it is like this:
NUMBERS
1
2
3
4
How could I use a select statement in a way that a comma would seperate every return value, such that if I go 'Select NUMBERS from TEST' I would get:
1,2,3,4
Instead of:
1
2
3
4
Any ideas?
Thanks
The select command below will output one patient’s information in 1 row:
Patient id
Last name
First name
Address 1
OP Coverage Plan 1
OP Policy # 1
OP Coverage Plan 2
[code]...
This works great if there is at least one OP coverage.  There are 3 tables in which to get information which are the patient table, the coverage table, and the coverage history table.  The coverage table links to the patient table via pat_id and it tells me the patient's coverage plan and in which priority to bill.  The coverage history table links to the patient and coverage table via patient id and coverage plan and it gives me the effective date. Â
select src.pat_id, lname, fname, addr1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.coverage_plan_ end) as OP_Coverage1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.policy_id end) as OP_Policy1,

Hi all. I'm selecting all customers and trying to count alll the orders where at least one item has the itemstatus of "SHIPPED" on their order. Each customer will have only one order. I'm trying to see if I can do this in one query. Is it possible?? Is it something like below?
SELECT customers.id,COUNT( orders.id) AS 'total',
from customers
LEFT JOIN orders ON customers.id=orders.id AND orders.itemstatus="SHIPPED"
My tables look like this:
 Users //
table
 UserID // pk
 UserName // varchar
UserFamilyName // varchar
User_Friends //
table
 FriendsID // pk
 UserID // fk
 FamilyName // varchar
MY query:
 SELECT
U.UserFamilyName, F.FamilyName
 FROM Â
Users U LEFT
JOIN User_Friends
F ON U.UserID =Â
F.UserID
 WHERE    Â
U.UserName = ‘JOHN’
How do I adjust my query to select just the very first record from Users_friends, I want only the top first one.And if there are no friends how can I return an empty string instead of Null.
I have a basic sql statement, where I have a usersID, and I want to joing that usersID to another table in another database to get the users first and last names. How do I join across databases... each with a different connection string?

SELECT FirstSet.Country,FirstSet.[Month]
,ABC.ABC1
,DEF.DEF1
FROM (
SELECT [Answer Text]'Country',interview_start 'Month',[ID respondent],

How I can get the following Desired SELECT STATEMENT with the increment of Max(serial_no)+1. Date will be in quotation in desired SELECT STATEMENT. All data is same. Just changing the serial_no which will be Max(serial_no)+1.
Create table #seq (serial_no numeric, Scode numeric, Sdate datetime, SErr char(10))
insert into #seq values (1,1002,'10/10/2015','SEDT')
insert into #seq values (2,1005,'12/10/2015','PEFT')
insert into #seq values (3,1004,'1/1/2015','QEGT')
insert into #seq values (4,1008,'1/2/2015','TEWT')
insert into #seq values (5,1007,'3/10/2015','REDT')
Result from the above query
serial_no Scode Sdate SErr

If I try to run the code below, and even one of the values in the INNER

What I need is to see the results even if one or more of INNER JOIN

blank. Is that possible?

I'm using sql 2008 and triying to build a dynamic sql script to split the records 50/50.I know using newid() with order by clause selects randomly but how should I build the select statement to split the data 50/50 so i don't need to run the script manually everytime ?
View 10 Replies View RelatedCreated a new scheduled job using Transact-SQL.
Running a basic script SELECT FROM WHERE
As of now, it places it into one column, for all the fields.Â
I need the fields to be placed in their respective columns. Tried saving it as .xls and .csv. Same issue. Running SQL Server 2008R2.
below is my original query
select Value = count(*) from dbo.testÂ
I have 20 rows in dbo.test so i will get 20 as my output, now i need to write a case statement here such that when count(*) = 0 then it should display text filed 'NO Data' else it should display the count.
I want to add a custom column in a select statement that has a value to true or false based on other criteria.
SELECT [ID], [Name], [Description], [EmpID], [Employed] FROM [Employees]
Now, in the above example there is no [Employed] Column in my table but I want it to show true or false based on whether or not [EmpID] equals a certain value.
Everything about this query works except I'm trying to capture the @companyid (which is a variable) into a column in my table via my select statement.
My error is Invalid column name 'A113', etc. However it is the A113 I'm trying to insert into the first column of the table SAP_GLsummary
-- retrieves a list of gl balances from all companies

I need to perform an update where there are multiple scenarios which determine the value that is entered. Below is a sort've psuedo code of how it needs to be.
Update MyTable SET MyColumn = CASE WHEN MyCol1 = 'Value1' Then NewValue Else
WHEN MyCol1 <> 'Value1' And MyCol2 = 'Active' Then 'Value1'
In the scenario where MyCol1 <> Value1 and MyCol2 <> 'Active' then no update would occur and the original value would remain intact.
I'm trying to delete the selected data from a table colum from a select statement.
This is the select statement
SELECTÂ RFC822Â FROMÂ SQLGOLDMINE.DBO.MAILBOX MB WHERE ((MB.CREATEON >= '2014-07-24' AND MB.CREATEON <= '2015-07-24') OR (MB.MAILDATE >= '2014-07-24' AND MB.MAILDATE <= '2015-07-24')) AND (MB.MAILREF LIKE '%auction notification
& invitation%')

I have a stored procedure that I have written that manipulates date fields in order to produce certain reports. I would like to add a column in the dataset that will be a join from another table (the table name is Periods).
The structure of the periods table is as follows:
[ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Period] [int] NULL,
[Quarter] [int] NULL,
[Year] [int] NULL,
[PeriodStarts] [date] NULL,
[PeriodEnds] [date] NULL
The stored procedure is currently:
USE [International_Forecast_New]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetOpenResult] Script Date: 01/07/2014 11:41:35 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

What I need is to add the period, quarter and year to the dataset based on the "Store_Open" value.
For example Period 2 looks like this
Period Quarter Year Period Start Period End
2 1 20142014-01-27 2014-02-23
So if the store_open value is 02/05/2014, it would populate Period 2, Quarter 1, Year 2014.
Hi All,
I am trying to write a Transact-SQL statement and am having no success. I have a customers table that has some duplicate Customer Numbers in it, however the records do have a unique Reference Number. I am trying select all records that match a list of Customer Numbers but if there are more than 1 matching Customer Number I only want the one with the largest Reference Number.
My BASIC Select Statement is:
SELECT Cust_Ref_No, Customer_No, Customer_Name, Address1,
Address2, Suburb, State, Postcode, Phone
FROM Customers
WHERE Customer_No IN
(SELECT Customer_No FROM temp_Customers)
Much to my HORROR I found that what I am trying to do is simple in MS Access using the “First” Function – Such as below:
SELECT First(Cust_Ref_No) AS Cust_Ref_No, Customer_No
FROM Customers
GROUP BY Customer_No
ORDER BY First(Cust_Ref_No), Customer_No;
There appears to be no “First” Function in Transact-SQL. Is someone able to show me how to achieve the same results in Transact-SQL as I can get with MS Access (I’d HATE to think that MS Access has more functionality in querying data than SQL Server in any way at all)?
P.S. I really need to run the select statement as one step rather than splitting it up into parts.

I have scenario where i have to pick one particular value from where condition. Here is the example:A store can have different types i-e A or B , A and B or either A or B.
Store   Type   Sales
11 Â Â Â Â Â A Â Â Â Â 1000
23 Â Â Â A Â Â Â 1980
23 Â Â Â B Â Â Â 50
5 Â Â Â Â B Â Â Â 560
I want to filter the store in "where clause" Â where
1)- if the store has type A and  B, then assign only A
2)- if the store has  type A associated with it then assign A
3)- if the store has type B associated with it, then assign B.
Select Store, sum(sales), Type
from table1
where (TYPE]= Â (case when [TYPE] in ('A','B') then 'A'
when [TYPE]='A' then 'A' else 'B'end))
GROUP BY [store], [TYPE]
The above statement is not working for when store has only Type B associated with it.

I am looking at a table that contains customer orders. There is a column named Customer_Order.Status Available values for this column is R, F, H, and C.
I'd like for my query to return all lines that have the value R, F, H.
My where clause is written like thisÂ
WHERE CUSTOMER_ORDER.SITE_ID = 'XXX' AND CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS = ('R','H','F')

The select statement:
SELECT DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
      CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME))
   FROM [DataGapTest]
Gives the right output:
NULL
1
1
3548
0
However, when I put the statement in a function, I get only zeros as the output. It's as if the lag and current value are always the same (but they are not of course).
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTimeInterval(@DATE date, @TIME time)
RETURNS INT
AS
 BEGIN
 DECLARE @timeInterval INT
  SELECT @timeInterval = DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
      CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME))

I tend to learn from example and am used to powershell. If for instance in powershell I wanted to get-something and store it in a variable I could, then use it again in the same code. In this example of a table order items where there are order_num, quantity and item_prices how could I declare ordertotal as a variable then instead of repeating it again at "having sum", instead use the variable in its place?
Any example of such a use of a variable that still lets me select the order_num, ordertotal and group them etc? I hope to simply replace in the "having section" the agg function with "ordertotal" which bombs out.
select order_num, sum(quantity*item_price) as ordertotal
from orderitems
group by order_num
having sum(quantity*item_price) >=50
order by ordertotal;
I just want to get the sum of a table's column into a variable, in a stored procedure. The best I can do is
SET @TotalBalance = SELECT SUM(Balance) FROM AccountDetails
Not good enough, of course.

I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join. And the query was ....
SELECT
       S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
       Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
      (Production.Products AS P
        INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
[code]....
However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did the same query using the left outer join in both the cases
i.e..
SELECT
       S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
       Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
(Production.Products AS P
LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid)
ON
S.supplierid = P.supplierid
WHERE
S.country = N'Japan';
The result i got was same,i.e
supplier   country   productid   productname   unitprice   categorynameSupplier QOVFD   Japan   9   Product AOZBW   97.00   Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD   Japan  10   Product YHXGE   31.00   SeafoodSupplier QOVFD   Japan  74   Product BKAZJ   10.00   ProduceSupplier QWUSF   Japan   13   Product POXFU   6.00   SeafoodSupplier QWUSF   Japan   14   Product PWCJB   23.25   ProduceSupplier QWUSF   Japan   15   Product KSZOI   15.50   CondimentsSupplier XYZ   Japan   NULL   NULL   NULL   NULLSupplier XYZ   Japan   NULL   NULL   NULL   NULL
and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table.
The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table.
The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
