I need to return a single, unique record for each director. In my example here, I'm getting back 5 records for Bossidy because he has 5 records in the Directorships table each with a unique CompID.
SELECT TDirectors.IDDir, TDirectors.DirFName, TDirectors.DirLName, TDirectors.DirLName + ', ' + TDirectors.DirFName AS DirFullName, TDirectors.ExecutiveTitle, TDirectors.DirGender, TDirectors.DirAge, TDirRace.DirRace,
TDirectors.PrincipalCompany AS CompanyName, TDirectorships.CompID
FROM TDirRace RIGHT OUTER JOIN
TDirectors ON TDirRace.IDDir = TDirectors.IDDir RIGHT OUTER JOIN
TDirectorships ON TDirectors.IDDir = TDirectorships.IDDir
WHERE (TDirectors.DirLName='Bossidy')
I have a pretty nasty situation in where I have two tables that hold quantity values for an interval of time. One table has an hourly date format while the other is every 5 minutes. I'm using the below t-sql to pull back the summed quantities I need in an HOURLY format; however, it is doubling the MarketQty field becuase it's not summing the qty field from the HE (henwood_extract) table correctly:
I am having trouble using the CONTAINS function in sqlserver(enterprise manager). I am typing the following:Select *FROM mytableWHERE CONTAINS(myfield,'mystring')This returns the error:Query Designer encountered a MS Design Tools error:ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]'CONTAINS' is not arecognizedfunction name.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQLServer]Statement(s) couldnot be prepared.According to the T-SQL reference on msdn this is a supported function?Am I typing something incorrectly? If this is not supported, isthere an equivalent to this function? In my field I have some commadelimited values ie 'apple,orange'. So I need to be able to discernwhich records contain orange. The LIKE keyword doesn't seem to workfor this scenario. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a newb and this has been giving me a trouble for a while.
Code Block SELECT class.classcode, classname, instrFirst, instrLast, csDay, CONVERT(nvarchar(30), csStart, 8), CONVERT(nvarchar(30), csEnd, 8) FROM class, class_section, instructor WHERE class.classcode = class_section.classcode Group By className Order By classname, csNum;
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'class.classCode' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
class and instructor and class_section are their own tables but classcode and instrID are foreign keys on the class_section table. If anyone can explain this as clearly as possible that would be great (the help examples are usually too complicated)
Im reading some guys code and I see the following code "select distinct(State) from listOFschools;select * from listOFschools" He is trying to query out states and the schools that are within the state. What exactly is the distinct() function do. and if anyone can tell me, what exactly is he asking to do in this statement
I have a query that returns employee names and reservations they updated for a set date. Here's a simplified version:
Select Employee.Name, Reservation.ResID From Employee INNER JOIN Reservation ON Employee.EmpID = Reservation.EmpID Where Reservation.DateModified BETWEEN '200510010000' AND '200510050000'
The problem is each employee can update the same reservation several times but I only want it to display that record once. The distinct statement doesn't work because I want the EmpID to be listed more than once. Thanks.
I have a query with DISTINCT option. If i use DISTINCT option with aggregate function like SUM will it eliminate duplicate values and then sum the values of a column and what is the syntax for it.
EX I have a column for budget
BUDGET 100 350 275 350 100
so if i use DISTINCT SUM(BUDGET) will it eliminate duplicate values and sum the total.
Here is one such function:CREATE FUNCTION my_max_market_date () RETURNS datetimeBEGINDECLARE @mmmd AS datetime;SELECT max(h_market_date) INTO @mmmd FROM holdings_tmp;RETURN @mmmd;ENDOne change I had to make, relative to what I had working in MySQL, wasto insert 'AS' between my variable and its type. Without 'AS', MS SQLinsisted in telling me that datetime is not valid for a cursor; and Iam not using a cursor here. The purpose of this function is tosimplify a number of SQL statements that depend on obtaining the mostrecent datetime value in column h_market_date in the holdings_tmptable.The present problem is that MS SQL doesn't seem to want to allow me toplace that value in my variable '@mmmd'. I could do this easily inMySQL. Why is MS SQL giving me grief over something that should be sosimple. I have not yet found anything in the documentation for SELECTthat could explain what's wrong here. :-(Any ideas?ThanksTed

The result is accurate but the query execution time is 3-4 minutes for 10 fact records, when i use multiple dimension. it is showing me 0 valus for this measure for all the members for the dimesion attribute which doen't have any customer order. example it shows all the member of date dimension. is there any way to reduce the rows. i think this is the reason to take more execution time.when i use EXCCLUDEEMPTY the result is NULL
I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE Jim 4444/ 6666 Bob 5555 7777 --BookingRef FGHIJ Jenny 8888/ 9999/ 3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache
When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."
Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.
The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.
I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks
Hello, I have written a small asp.net application, which keeps record of the proposals coming from the branch offices of a bank in a tableCREATEd as a TABLE Proposals ( ID smallint identity(7,1), BranchID char(5), Proposal_Date datetime ) This app also calculates the total number of proposals coming from a specific branch in a given date bySELECTing COUNT(BranchID) FROM Proposals WHERE BranchID=@prmBranchID AND Proposal_Date=@prmDateand prints them in a table (my target table). This target table has as many rows as the result of the "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals"and excluding the first column which displays those DISTINCT Proposal_Dates, it also has as many columns as the result of the"SELECT DISTINCT BranchID FROM Proposals". This target table converts the DateTime values ToShortDateString so that we are able to see comfortably which branch office has sent how many proposals in a given day. So far so good, and everything works fine except one thing: Certain DateTime values in the Proposals table which are of the same day but of different hours (for ex: 11.11.2005 08:30:45 and11.11.2005 10:45:30) cause some trouble in the target table, where "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals" is executed, because (as you might already guess) it displays two identical dates in ShortDateString form, and this doesn't make much sense (i.e. it causes redundant rows) What I need to do is to get a result like (in a neat fashion :) "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) <<DISTINCT ONLY IN THE DAYS AND NOT IN HOURS OR MINUTES OR SECONDS>> FROM Proposals" So, how to do it in a suitable way? Thanks in advance.
Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
I just got finished developing the company intranet site and thinking that everything was working I boasted about how good it was by getting my boss to login and submit a new job to the db (new job, its a work management app) while i did the same, the pland was to hit the submit button at the same time. He would send one to be read by me and I would send one to be read by him. We both hit submit and the following happened.
The db has somehow fused the two into one. I thought maybe we were to accurate in hitting the submit button together. But I even gave a five second delay between and for some reason the job is being overriden by one user tor the other. In other words we are both sharing the same jobid. I thought this could never happen with sql server supposing that it would lock one request until another was completed and vice versa. But I'm so new to this that I'm just so naieve to think that the db would do this for you. Problem is I'm about to move on and I can't leave the app in this state. Can anyone point to some articles or give some suggestions has to my situation. Most desperately in need!!
i'm having touble getting my sp done. the problem is as follow..i've found an sp tokenize (which works fine) with the following signature:
CREATE PROCEDURE TOKENIZE ( S VARCHAR(10000), DELIM CHAR(1)) RETURNS ( ID INTEGER, TKN VARCHAR(10000)) AS DECLARE VARIABLE I INTEGER; DECLARE VARIABLE LEN INTEGER; DECLARE VARIABLE FIRSTCHAR CHAR(1); DECLARE VARIABLE S2 VARCHAR(10000); begin ... SUSPEND; end^
then i build myself another sp (which also works fine) with this signature:
CREATE PROCEDURE GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT ( ASDSKRPTINPUT VARCHAR(15)) RETURNS ( ID BIGINT) AS begin ... suspend;
end^
now, what i'm trying to do is write another sp (get_dicentries_by_all_asdskrpts) that accepts a '.'-tokenized string as a parameter (e.g. 'bla.bli.blo.blu'; number of tokens NOT fixed at 4!) and returns the intersection of
GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('bla'), GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('bli'), GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('blo') AND GET_DICENTRIES_BY_ASDSKRPT('blu')

I have a table adapter query with a like clause that I can't get to work. The field is "Type", so I have "LIKE '%@Type%'". When I click the Execute Query button to test, not only does nothing get returned, I don't get the chance to enter the parameter. If I change LIKE '%@Type%' to say, LIKE '%book%', the appropriate records are returned. I actually need to check two parameters. If I ad the second parameter, the where clause becomes(Type LIKE '%@Type%') AND (SendState = @SendState)When I test the query, a screen pops up to let me enter the state, but not the Type. I can't see anything wrong with the query, but something must be. Diane
I am having a most frustrating time getting this working. I have two machines, one named 'REMOTE' and it contains my SQL Server (2005 developer edition). Then I have my main PC, named 'DOUGAL' The server instance on the REMOTE computer is called 'SQLSERVER' and there is only one instance. The server is showing as running etc and I can log in locally on the REMOTE computer easily via the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio etc. I have two logins that are working fine, sa and a login called 'db_user'.Now I am trying to connect in the server explorer in visual studio. When I try and connection i get the following error; An Error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong to SQL Server 2005 this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (provder: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Count not open connection to SQL Server). I have tried connection to 'REMOTE/SQLSERVER' 'REMOTE' and with its IP address to - without any luck. So, to fix this problem I have checked that remote connections are allowed (and restarted the system). I have also checked that named pipes and tcp/ip connections are enabled. I have searched around with the aid of my best friend, Google. However, I've only found suggestions that involve trying the fixes I already tried.
Ok, what I am tryin to do is quite simple i do believe. Basically I have an aspx page with a textbox, a button and a datagrid linked to my sql db. What I am wanting is for a user to enter in their Social Security Number in the text box and click the button. If the SSN matches a record in the DB then it binds to the datagrid and shows it, IF no match is found then it displays a link to click on to continue onto the next page. This is to stop duplicate entries. I can get one to work by itself but not both of them at the same time. Here is my code.<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %><script language="VB" runat="server"> Sub btnSearch_OnClick(sender as Object, e as EventArgs) Dim objConnection As SqlConnection Dim objCommand As SqlCommand Dim objAdapter As SqlDataAdapter Dim objDataSet As DataSet Dim strSearch As String Dim strSQLQuery As String ' Get Search strSearch = txtSearch.Text ' If there's nothing to search for then don't search ' o/w build our SQL Query and execute it. If Len(Trim(strSearch)) > 0 Then OK, Here is my first IF, this works. ' Set up our connection. objConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=BRADBLACKBUR-PCMSSMLBIZ;" _ & "Initial Catalog=Victorypoint;Integrated Security=True;") ' Set up our SQL query text. strSQLQuery = "SELECT FirstName, LastName, SSN " _ & "FROM Applicants " _ & "WHERE SSN LIKE '%" & Replace(strSearch, "'", "''") & "%' " _ & "ORDER BY SSN;" ' Create new command object passing it our SQL query ' and telling it which connection to use. objCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQLQuery, objConnection) ' Get a DataSet to bind the DataGrid to objAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(objCommand) objDataSet = New DataSet() objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet) If objDataSet.Tables.Count < 1 Then Right here is where I am having the problem, I need to count the Rows not the Tables, but I dont know what code i should use here. Button1.Visible = True Else ' DataBind DG to DS dgSearch.DataSource = objDataSet dgSearch.DataBind() objConnection.Close() End If End If End Sub
