I have a database stored in MS SQL 2000 and an application written in
VB5, which connects the database via JET/ODBC.
I have a problem with the UNION statement.
When I run a simple query like:
"SELECT field1 FROM table1 UNION SELECT field2 FROM table2"
I get the following error:
"Runtime error 3078 - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the
input table or query 'select field1 from table1'. Make sure it exists
and that its name is spelled correctly."
I can run the queries separately "SELECT field1 FROM table1" and "SELECT
field1 FROM table2", so that I'm sure table and field names are correct
and I have permission to access them.
Both field1 and field2 are the same type (int).
If I run the query in MS SQL Query Analyzer, it works fine.
It doesn't work only when I run it from VB/JET/ODBC.
I have the following query which works fine when it's executed as a single query. but when i union the result of this query with other queries, it returns a different set of data.
any one know why that might be the case??
select top 100 max(contact._id) "_id", max(old_trans.date) "callback_date", 7 "priority", max(old_trans.date) "recency", count(*) "frequency" --contact._id, contact.callback_date from topcat.class_contact contact inner join topcat.MMTRANS$ old_trans on contact.phone_num = old_trans.phone where contact.phone_num is not null and contact.status = 'New Contact' group by contact._id order by "recency" desc, "frequency" desc
i've included the union query here for completeness of the question
begin declare @current_date datetime set @current_date = GETDATE()
select top 100 _id, callback_date, priority, recency, frequency from ( ( select top 10 _id, callback_date, 10 priority, @current_date recency, 1 frequency --, DATEPART(hour, callback_date) "hour", DATEPART(minute, callback_date) "min" from topcat.class_contact where status ='callback' and (DATEPART(year, callback_date) <= DATEPART(year, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(dayofyear, callback_date) <= DATEPART(dayofyear, @current_date)) -- all call backs within that hour will be returned and (DATEPART(hour, callback_date) <= DATEPART(hour, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(hour, callback_date) <> 0) order by callback_date asc --order by priority desc, DATEPART(hour, callback_date) asc, DATEPART(minute, callback_date) asc, callback_date asc ) union ( select top 10 _id, callback_date, 9 priority, @current_date recency, 1 frequency from topcat.class_contact where status = 'callback' and callback_date is not null and (DATEPART(year, callback_date) <= DATEPART(year, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(dayofyear, callback_date) <= DATEPART(dayofyear, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(hour, callback_date) <= DATEPART(hour, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(hour, callback_date) = 0) order by callback_date asc ) union ( select top 10 _id, callback_date, 8 priority, @current_date recency, 1 frequency from topcat.class_contact where status = 'No Connect' and callback_date is not null and (DATEPART(year, callback_date) <= DATEPART(year, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(dayofyear, callback_date) <= DATEPART(dayofyear, @current_date)) and (DATEPART(hour, callback_date) <= DATEPART(hour, @current_date)) order by callback_date asc ) union ( select top 100 max(contact._id) "_id", max(old_trans.date) "callback_date", 7 "priority", max(old_trans.date) "recency", count(*) "frequency" --contact._id, contact.callback_date from topcat.class_contact contact inner join topcat.MMTRANS$ old_trans on contact.phone_num = old_trans.phone where contact.phone_num is not null and contact.status = 'New Contact' group by contact._id order by "recency" desc, "frequency" desc ) ) contact_queue order by priority desc, recency desc, callback_date asc, frequency desc
Hello to all, i have a problem with IN-Operator. I cann't resolve it. I hope that somebody can help me. I have a IN_Operator sql query like this, this sql query can work. it means that i can get a result 3418: declare @IDM int; declare @IDO varchar(8000); set @IDM = 3418; set @IDO = '3430' select * from wtcomValidRelationships as A where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 )) but these numbers (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ) come from a select-statement. so if i use select-statement in this query, i get nothing back. this query like this one:select * from wtcomValidRelationships as A where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (select B.RelationshipIDs from wtcomValidRelationships as B where B.IDMember = @IDM)) I have checked that man can use IN-Operator with select-statement. I don't know why it doesn't work with me. Could somebody help me? Thanks I use MS SQL 2005 Server Management Stadio Express Thanks a million and Best regards Sha
I'm launching the aforementioned statement from one MASTER session windows and I get this message, I am stuck, I though ROLLBACK INMEDIATE go throught any already session open.

I am having alot of trouble with a union query Im trying to create.The bizarre thing is I initially created this query and managed tosave it as a viewSELECT ID, DepartureDate, City, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' AS TypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, DestCity, Country, Region, fkDepartureAirport,Price, '2' AS TypeFROM dbo.vFlightHowever when I tried to update the view to this:SELECT ID, DepartureDate, fkCity, City, fkCountry, Country,Region, fkDepartureAirport, CONVERT(MONEY, Price) AS Price, '1' ASTypeFROM dbo.vHolidayUNION ALLSELECT ID, ValidTo, fkCity, DestCity, fkCountry, Country, Region,fkDepartureAirport, Price, '2'FROM dbo.vFlightit comes up with the error: view definition includes no output columnsor includes no items in the from clause.Any ideas??????All suggestions appreciatedAlly
I'm pretty new to DTS, so forgive me if this is basic. I created a simple DTS package to run a query and export it to a text file. I can execute the package fine from my workstation through EM, but when I try to execute the job to run the package I get this error: Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied.
I think that maybe SQL Agent doesn't have the right permissions to write to that network drive. What should the permissions be?
This is probably very simple, but I can't get passed this problem.
I have a report in MS Access that uses info generated by a query. One of the text fields in the query contains either the word 'Select' or the name of a course. The report should display a space if the value is 'Select', or the actual value of the field in any other case. The field can never contain a null value.
I've used: =IIf([optVoc1]="Select","",[optVoc1]) in the text box on the report, but this only returns #error regardless of the actual content of the field.
I create and schedule a SQL job to run every minute to update a table base on certain condition but it doesn't work. Job history says successful every time but the table doesn't get updated.
However if I move it to Query Analyzer and run it under dba, it will work. Thinking that it may have to do with the user the job run as, I then change run as user from self to dba. But still SQL job won't update my table.
Anything about user permission or security that I can check? Or it there any other possibility?
When I run the select its fine but I cannot delete..... i have done this many times and it has worked.... I cannot see the error what am i missing
select eqnow.empnumber, eqnow_names.empnumber, eqnow_names.names --delete from eqnow inner join eqnow_names on eqnow.empnumber = eqnow_names.empnumber where eqnow_names.names is null
i get this error Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'inner'.
When I try to install the problem I get the following error.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The log tells me nothing useful. I can't start the thing manually because after clicking cancel on the error message, the installer proceeds to roll back the installation.
I have two tables Encounter & Encounter_History. They have same columns. One column is of type CLOB. My requirement is to retrieve all the distinct records from both the tables with order by a date column. But problem is, UNION does not work in case of CLOB data type.
I know it will work if I use UNION ALL, but it returns duplicate records.
Please give me suggestion, how to solve this problem.
For example: The following query does not work since column1 is a CLOB data type
select column1 from table1 union select column1 from table2
This is the autogenerated code from the SelectCommand of my DataAdapter, except the red text. This DataAdapter is used to fill a DataGrid. What I want to do, is to calculate the total memory (4 slots) / PC.This code makes the sum of all memory of all PC's together.I'm not sure if the group by clause is needed here ...Me.OleDbSelectCommand1.CommandText = "SELECT PC.ID, PC.Nummer, PC.Netwerknaam, Case_Type.Type AS Case_Type, Processor_T" & _"ype.Type AS Processor_Type, Processor_Snelheid.Snelheid AS Processor_Snelheid, " & _"(SELECT SUM(Memory) FROM Memory, PC, RAM WHERE RAM.PcID = PC.ID AND RAM.GrootteID = Memory.ID)" & _"AS Memory, OS.Naam AS OS, OS_SP.Nummer AS OS_SP, Gebru" & _"iker.Naam AS Gebruiker_Naam, Status.Status, PC.Tagged FROM (Status RIGHT OUTER J" & _"OIN ((((((((PC LEFT OUTER JOIN (RAM LEFT OUTER JOIN Geheugen ON RAM.GrootteID = " & _"Geheugen.ID) ON PC.ID = RAM.PcID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Case_Type ON PC.Case_TypeID = " & _"Case_Type.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN OS_SP ON PC.OS_SpID = OS_SP.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Ge" & _"bruiker ON PC.GebruikersID = Gebruiker.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Processor_Snelheid ON" & _" PC.Processor_SnelheidID = Processor_Snelheid.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Processor_Type" & _" ON PC.Processor_TypeID = Processor_Type.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN OS ON PC.OsID = OS." & _"ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Switchbox_Details ON PC.ID = Switchbox_Details.PcID) ON Stat" & _"us.ID = PC.StatusID) GROUP BY PC.ID, PC.Nummer, PC.Netwerknaam, Case_Type.Type, " & _"Processor_Type.Type, Processor_Snelheid.Snelheid, OS.Naam, OS_" & _"SP.Nummer, Gebruiker.Naam, Status.Status, PC.Tagged"I would like to know how to calculate the total memory for each separate PC.Hope you can help me.
I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect" "Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"
To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted). I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.
I wanted to create a new trigger, but Enterprise Manager tells me about an "Incorrect syntax near @UpdatedByID, line 28". I double-checked everything, but it still does not work :mad: .
Any hints :confused: ?
TIA,
-Gernot
Here is the statement (line 28 is marked with ***):
CREATE TRIGGER TransferToABII ON [dbo].[CALGeneral] FOR INSERT AS BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN DECLARE @Event varchar(255), @BBaseUID int, @StartDate smalldatetime, @EndDate smalldatetime, @Details varchar(255), @AddressID int, @ProjectID int, @UpdatedByID int, @ActID int, @EventID int

I'm combining first name, last name, middle name, and an ID number together into an alias. Then I need to match that alias with a variable passed to the page (its a search results page). The problem is it claims that there is no table with the name of my alias. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
A mockup of the SQL looks like this:
SELECT UserID, Last_Name + ', ' + First_Name + ' ' + Middle_Name + '.' AS name FROM Table WHERE name LIKE 'variable%'
Everything looks right with the results, if I take out the WHERE clause it has name displayed properly and joined together with the rest of the data in the results properly.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!
I have a query that doesn't work when i use 4 name convention instead of a openquery. The msg is below. Anyone know what is going on? Both queries are the same but one doesn't work.

hi all, i made a stored procedure that uses the sp_send_dbmail to send mails. SQL server dislays the message "mail queued" but nothing is recieved

I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
Hello, I've rescued a MDF and LDF files off a client's old server, and I wanted to attach it to our own, but I can't seem to get the command to work, basically I have these two files, which I've dropped on our server:
So when I do a SP_ATTACH_SINGLE_FILE_DB 'somedb','C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMYCLIENTNAME_Data.MDF'
It says the LDF path my be incorrect, and that there's two other files that are missing: MYCLIENTNAME_LOG (no extension) extra_log (no extension)
I thought the whole point of the command is that you only need a single file? Its very hard to go back to the client's old server and try to find these two files, and it doesn't really matter if we loose a bit of data, so long as the bulk of it is available.
Update: I think I've found the answer...its not possible to do this, it really needs all the log files. Any workarounds?
i've tried using the SELECT SQL sentence on PPC with UNION and INNER JOIN in combination with DATEDIFF function which works fine on ordinary SQL but obviously does not work on compact edition. Is there some workaround?
SQL sentence that works:
Code Snippet
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT 'O' Type, O.Name , OC.Name Contact, Birthday FROM OutletContact OC INNER JOIN Outlet O ON OC.OutletID=O.OutletID UNION SELECT 'W' Type, W.Name,WC.Name Contact, Birthday FROM WholesalerContact WC INNER JOIN Wholesaler W ON W.WholesalerID=WC.WholesalerID ) S WHERE Birthday IS NOT NULL AND (DATEDIFF(day,GETDATE(),Birthday) BETWEEN 0 AND 14)
I have been looking at this for over a day now. I cannot see why this procedure does not work, its so simple. No matter what happens it always returns 0. If it locates a record, it doesnt update it, yet it still returns 0. It should not be returning 0 if its not updating so I can't figure out why it does. Why does this always return 0? [pre]Create Procedure CreateNewCategory @title nvarchar(100), @description nvarchar(1000), @displayOrder intAS DECLARE @Result as int IF EXISTS(SELECT categoryTitle FROM categories WHERE categoryTitle = @title) BEGIN SELECT @Result = 1 ENDELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO categories(categoryTitle, categoryDescription, displayOrder) VALUES(@title, @description, @displayOrder) /* If no error was encountered, 0 will be returned. */ SELECT @Result = @@Error ENDGO[/pre] Thanks!
Since I have to go across the network, I'm trying to use the UNC. However, this won't even work when I'm using the UNC to point to the server on which this is run. I'm trying to restore a single table on 6.5. What is the obvious piece that I'm missing?
This works.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'd:MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
This doesn't.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'server1d$MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
Hello, I upgraded to Beta 3 and now mail isn`t working(I hate mail!) I found 2 error messages. One when trying to add an operators email id and the other when I try to "test" mail under server properties.
- Unable to start a mail session on the server with this mail profile.
- no mail profile defined.
The account that I am using is used for all our SQL Servers and was working on this server on 6.5 before the upgrade. I have checked the new SQLServerAgent service and it`s using the correct account.
Any help would be appreciated.
And to all you that are off for a long Labor Day weekend...I`m jealous!
Hi all, I have a problem with this trigger. It seams to be very simple, but it doesn't work...
I created a trigger on a table and I would want that this one updates a field of a table on a diffrent DB (Intranet). When I test it normally (a real situation), it doesn't work, but when I do an explicit update ("UPDATE AccesCard SET LastMove = getDate();" by example) it works.
If anyone could help me, I would appreciate.
NB: Is there a special way, in a trigger, to update a table when the table to update is on another BD ?
Francois
This is the trigger: ------------------------------------------------------------
ALTER TRIGGER UStatus ON AccesCard AFTER UPDATE, INSERT AS
DECLARE @noPerson int
SET NOCOUNT OFF
IF UPDATE(LastMove) BEGIN SELECT @noPerson = Person FROM INSERTED UPDATE Intranet.dbo._Users SET Intranet.dbo._Users.status = 1 WHERE personNo = @noPerson; END
I have the following situation: A webserver in a DMZ which connects to a DbServer in a Domain.
but when I try to make a ODBC connection on the webserver I get the well-known "Server does not exist or access denied" error.
I tried using IP address as well as FQDN. I turned off the firewall in the router (I'm able to access shares and what not from the webserver so the firewall is really turned off).
I think however i have narrowed down the problem to the TCP/IP connection of the SQL Server. Normally when you try from a command prompt "telnet dbserver 1433" you get a connection. But when I try this to the specific DbServer I get an "unable to connect" error. Even when I try it on the dbserver itself (so telnet localhost 1433). This should work always?
In the network configuration of the sql server the Named Piped as well as the TCP/IP protocols are enabled. TCP/IP is offcourse configured on port 1433.
