Unruly Query With 2500+ In The &"IN&" List
May 16, 2008
Hello All
I have inherited another team's database and I'm going through the process of documenting and looking for things to optimize and tune.
I just ran across a query like this:
Select AccountName, AccountNumber, DepartmentName, AccountStartDate,AccountEndDate From tblAccount Where AccountNumber IN ( and there is a list of over 2,500 accounts listed. I couldn't believe my eyes. I gotta' believe that this query would not peform very well under these conditions. Plus the table doesn't have a primary key or even an index.
I just had to rant to someone.
Thanks!

Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following:
Code:
If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false
If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF
(SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB)
Return False
ELSE
Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help?

I have a table that has a list of skills, ie "HP One", "HP Two"
I need to pass the these skills from my applications search page to a stored procedure, hence I have a snippet of the SP below.
DECLARE @SkillSet NVarChar (200)
SET @SkillSet = '-HP One-,-HP Two-'
SET @SkillSet = Replace(@SkillSet, '-', '''')
SELECT * FROM CPSkillMatrixLevels WHERE SkillMatrixLevelName IN (@SkillSet)
The following sp does not return any results, but when i set the last line to ..
SELECT * FROM CPSkillMatrixLevels WHERE SkillMatrixLevelName IN ('HP One', 'HP Two')
It returns a set of results. Also when I do a select on the variable @SkillSet, ie SELECT @SkillSet, it displays 'HP One', 'HP Two'
Can enybody help me here, i Know i'm doing something wrong, but I cant think of what it is.
Thanks

Hi:I have created a table that has a column of smalldatetimes. For any given day, there may be different records with the same date but with different times. I've created the query SELECT Event FROM Events where Start=@Start and I input start as a selected date from the calendar control. Because of the different times, I do not get any matches. Could someone help me with a query that will get all of the events on the same day? Regards,Roger

I am doing parameterized queries from Visual Basic in Visual Studio.
I have a query where I want to do something like this.
Select * from people where city in (<list of cities>)
The problem is I want to build my <list of cities> in Visual Basic and pass it to the SQL as a parameter.
I know I can't do this:
Select * from people where city in (@ListOfCities)
Currently, I'm doing this by writing the <list of cities> out to a separate table, just so I can do the query.
Select * from people where city in (Select CityName from CityTable)

Hi,
I am a newbie, this is my first post (please go easy).
Iam at the moment trying to set up a query for someone looking for a property on an estate agents website.
From a drop down menu, the user can:
select an area (where they may like to live) from a list of areas.
select an amount of bedrooms from a list of bedrooms
select a minimum price from a list of prices
select a maximum price from a list of prices.
The query I worked out for this is as follows:
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM property WHERE area like '$area' and bedrooms like '$bedrooms' AND price BETWEEN '$min_price' AND '$max_price'") or die(mysql_error());
This seems to work fine and shows all the properties that meet the criteria onto my webpage.
However, I then thought, someone may not care which area they live in and want to see all properties in all the areas, so I decided to add the option 'All areas' to my 'areas' list, I then did the same for the other lists, eg 'all bedrooms' option to my bedrooms list and so on.
I am now trying to write a query that incorporates where the 'all..' option is selected and have become very stuck!
Can someone set me off in the right direction for this.
I hope that makes sense?!?!

I have been searching for a GOOD example of using SSIS to query MOSS 2007 list data. I just want to return the data from a list in Sharepoint and use that data in SSIS. It should be as simple as defining a data source to connect to a specific list and return the rows like a SQL query.
Can anyone provide a good example of doing this in SSIS (and by the way, I'm not looking for how to write a C# program) - I want to be able to do this directly from SSIS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Software being used -
VS2005 - SQLServer Business Intelligence Studio - with SharePoint Windows Services 2.0 Web Services
1. I have created a Data Source - XML - Which is a SharePoint List

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/> <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
Parameters

Next I Run the query and boom the data returns
Then I click the refresh button to populate the Reprots Datasets - called ds

I drag the first dataField and I get a textbox =
=First(Fields!ows_ID.Value)
Not sure what the First stands for
4. Preview
FAILED
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter €˜listName€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'MaturityModelWorkingCopy' is not declared.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but here goes.
I need to setup an options screen where my customers can customize which locations will be stored for their user id when pulling reports. I have checkbox list that dynamically loads their locations. I need to store the selected checkbox items in my table and then each time they login in to run a report, it will use the stored Location values in my SQL query.
Synopsis:
Selected locations stored in table. When the report is ran, the location values are pulled and added to my queries WHERE clause.

What I need?: A way of dynamically inserting a list in the WHERE clause of a query. (in the form, WHERE ID = 1,2,3,6,9 etc)
Imagine an example DB with 3 columns Student ID, Name, Teacher_ID. (Lets assume Teacher_ID with value 100 means its the Headmaster)
I need to create a list with Student ID's, who are directly/indirectly under the Headmaster. Example:
Headmaster
Teacher 1 (ID 200)
Teacher 2 (ID 250)
Student 1 (ID 300)
Director
Teacher 4
Student 5
In the above example, since I only want those students/teachers under the headmaster, either directly/indirectly, my list would contain Teacher 1, Teacher 2, and Student 1. (In my case, just their ID's, so 200, 250, 300)
Director, Teacher 4 and Teacher 5 wouldnt be in the list since theyre not directly/indirectly Headmaster.

Hello,
I have do a sql function for return a list of element from a query send in variable.
When I test the function on self I have no problem.
But when I use the function in a sql query I have problem.
example :
Code SnippetSELECT APPLI_SUPPLIER.N_SUPPLIER_ID, APPLI_SUPPLIER.V_SUPPLIER_LABEL,
dbo.APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM('SELECT DISTINCT APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE FROM APPLI_CONSTRUCTION INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE IS NOT NULL) AND (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2,3,4,5,6))')
AS V_PROCESS_ITEMS
FROM APPLI_SUPPLIER INNER JOIN
APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_SUPPLIER.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID
WHERE (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
This is the error :
Server: Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Procedure APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM, Line 24
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
When I do an exec of the function I have this problem :
Code Snippet
exec APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM('SELECT DISTINCT APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE FROM APPLI_CONSTRUCTION INNER JOIN APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL ON APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.N_SUPPLIER_ID = APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SUPPLIER_ID WHERE (APPLI_CONSTRUCTION.V_PROCESS_CODE IS NOT NULL) AND (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2,3,4,5,6))')

This is the function
Code Snippet

I have database tables for
Stores
StoreId, Name
Products
ProductId, Name
Transactions
TransactionId, StoreId, ProductId
I was just given an excel file with a list of 300 Stores.
I need to find out if these stores are selling our products and if they are , how many products they are selling.
One way of doing this , that I can think of right now is individually querying the Transactions table for each of the store in the excel sheet and then copy the results output back to the excel sheet.
Is there a way I can write a query against all the Store names from the excel file ? I need to get this done in the next few hours.
