I'm having a bit of trouble with the results I'm getting from a union query. First query and results shows that the 5th column(pmt) is being doubled, but if I run just that section of the union, it's not doubled. Correct result should NOT be doubled. Any help? many, many thanks.
select v.eventfee_pk, r.event_fk, r.person_fk, 0 as fee, isNull(p.payment_amount,0) as pmt, registration_ts as regDate from tblRegistration r right join tblRegistrationFee f on r.registration_pk=f.registration_fk left join tblEventFee v on f.eventfee_fk=v.eventfee_pk left join tblPayment p on r.registration_pk=p.registration_fk where (r.registration_ts >= '3/1/2006 00:00:01' and r.registration_ts <= '3/20/2006 23:59:59') and (r.person_fk=111918)
union

I hope I can express what I need to know.Here it goes. I am planning on writing a single stored procedure to include two select statements and followed by a third like so:Select * etcUNION ALLSelect * etcGOSelect something elseMy question is this: does this return one record set (returning all records from the three Select statements) or two, the first being the result from the UNION and the second from the select following the GO. I will need to access the data returned from the resultant UNION and from the select after the Go, so I wonder if I'll be dealing with a single dataset or two. I hope this made sense.
Hi,I was wondering if someone can help me. I have 4 tables in an SQL Server 2005 database, for purposes sake called 'table1', 'table2', 'table3' and 'table4'. They all have the same data structure between them. The columns inside them have the exact same design. For purposes sake called 'column1', 'column2', 'column3' and 'column4'. Alot of these tables have duplicate records scattered between them, so basically I want to create 'table5' with the same column names but only unique records. Can someone specify the syntax I need for this. I'm pretty sure it's a union query I need so am scouring as I type this also. Many Thanks Robert
A colleague and I have just found a slightly strange situation that we don't understand.
We had (effectively) the following query:
select cast(1 as decimal(38,10)) union all select cast(1 as decimal(38,4))
And the result contained 2 rows, each with a a scale of 4. This surprised us, we expected that the metadata of the result would be determined by the topmost query.
So we reversed them and tried this:
select cast(1 as decimal(38,4)) union all select cast(1 as decimal(38,10))
and got exactly the same result. 2 rows with a scale of 4.
We can't understand why the scale always gets determined to be 4 regardless of the order of the queries.
I am new to SQL Server Integration Services. I need to help here.
If there is only one result set, I could get rank info by putting DENSE_RANK expression inside of my select. My case is that I have two data source. After union of them, I need rank the result set and save result set plus rank info into the destination. I tried to use Derived Column component by using expression DENSE_RANK() over ( order by columnName ). But it does not like it.

QUESTION: How could I UNION the two result sets together and where the Category Name and SubCategory Name are equal for GridView1 and GridView2, show the difference in the Amount column.
This is the result I am looking for.

I am trying to do it on the back end. Though, if you have a clever way to produce a resulting gridview in C# with the results I need, I am all game! This is what I have so far: (TSQL code)
I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS ( SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum FROM[UT_Pole] A LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]
I have a Union All transformation with 4 inputs and one output when I debug the package the sum of the different inputs rows does not match the row count in output.
I don't understand, I've used the Union All transform many times and I've never seen this.
I need to send the result of a procedure to an update statement.Basically updating the column of one table with the result of aquery in a stored procedure. It only returns one value, if it didnt Icould see why it would not work, but it only returns a count.Lets say I have a sproc like so:create proc sp_countclients@datecreated datetimeasset nocount onselect count(clientid) as countfrom clientstablewhere datecreated > @datecreatedThen, I want to update another table with that value:Declare @dc datetimeset @dc = '2003-09-30'update anothertableset ClientCount = (exec sp_countclients @dc) -- this line errorswhere id_ = @@identityOR, I could try this, but still gives me error:declare @c intset @c = exec sp_countclients @dcWhat should I do?Thanks in advance!Greg
I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- I executed it in my SQL Server Management Studio Express and I got: Commands completed successfully. I do not know where the result is and how to get the result viewed. Please help and advise.
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
I'm using a subquery to return a delivery charge line as a column in the result set. I want to see this delivery charge only on the first line of the results for each contract. Code and results are below.
declare @start smalldatetime declare @end smalldatetime set @start = '2015-03-22 00:00' -- this should be a Sunday set @end = '2015-03-28 23:59' -- this should be the following Saturday
In this example, I only want to see the delivery charge of 125.00 for the first line of contract HU004377. For simplicity I have only shown the lines for 1 contract here, but there would normally be many different contracts with varying numbers of lines, and I only want to see the delivery charge once for each contract.
I just found out that I can do an ORDER BY clause on entire records set retrieve from a query that combines several sub queries with UNION from different tables with the same structure... so this is great to know, BTW, is this a new feature of MSSQL 2K ? I don't recall being able to do this in MSSQL 7 or 6.5.
Anyway, the main question is, can I use the TOP command in a query that has UNION in it?? Meaning, there are two queries (or more) from two tables (or more) and I need to fetch the top 10 records by an ORDER BY clause from the combined results, when I try to add each sub query TOP 10 the results are not correct at all, when I try to add TOP 10 only to the first query hoping that the analyzer will refer to the whole query, it's selecting TOP 10 from the first query and combines it with all the records from the others...
So, can anyone help? I hope the problem is understood.
I am trying to join to different queries into one table ( I accomplished this)
Next I need to ADD or SUM the results of 2 rows to form a single row.
As you can see in the query below, I run 2 separate queries and use ' ' as a place holder for the UNION to work. I get duplicate rows, one with a value and the other with a '0'. I want to have a single row.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

By default, the UNION operator removes duplicate rows from the result set. If you use ALL, all rows are included in the results and duplicates are not removed.
Why is it assumed that one would want the duplicates removed by default? Isn't that what SELECT DISINCT is for?
I was wondering if there is a way I could write this query as one query using union instead of 3 different queries?
SELECT columna as column,count(ID) as Applications FROM tablea GROUP columna
SELECT columna as column2, count(ID) as Approved FROM tablesa where substring(APP_DATE,1,6) >'200304' and in 'Approved') GROUP BY columna
SELECT columna as column3, count(ID) as Booked, sum(AMT) as amt, sum(AMT)/count(ID) as lavg from tablea where substring(APP_DATE,1,6) >'200304' and STATUS in('book') group by columna
I am doing a UNION of 8 views(with 3 million rows in each view approx). I am sure that there is NO DUPLICATE data between the views. SO specifying a UNION ALL would be better than specifying a UNION in this case?
Thanks!

Hi All I want to do the following report and I want the 2nd select statement to appear at the bottom to display the totals
SELECT Item,B.Mar, B.Apr, B.May, B.Jun,B.Jul, B.Aug, B.Sep, B.Oct, B.Nov, B.Dec, B.Jan FROM fncWineSales(2007) AS A UNION SELECT 'Total',SUM(B.Mar), SUM(B.Apr), SUM(B.May), SUM(B.Jun),SUM(B.Jul), SUM(B.Aug), SUM(B.Sep), SUM(B.Oct), SUM(B.Nov), SUM(B.Dec), SUM(B.Jan) FROM dbo.fncWineSales (2007) AS B

Hi,I can return results of a union easily enough, but I wish to sum the recordsfirst. Is this possible in a single SQL statement? Or do I have to useseparate ones to sum up after the union?Cheers,Chris
Of the two queries below, the first returns the desired result, the union of the select-except statments. Why doesn't the second query return the same result as the first? Is this a mistake/bug on Microsofts side?
When any changes have been made to the underlying table structure, the Union all reports error and does not automatically correct the error. I then have to delete it and recreate it. Is this a bug?
