I have a select statement with a where clause which needs to compare the value of a column to the result of a stored procedure (which returns an integer). Something like the following (except that works!)
SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE
CASE
WHEN someExpression THEN
CASE WHEN MyColumn = EXEC MyStoredProcedure @MyParam THEN 1
END
END=1
Thanks!

View 9 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I am a relative newbie to SQL and trying to do things via the self-taught method. I really have an issue that I am just unsure of what to do. I am working with a procedure that is for emailing invoices to customers. There can only be one account for a primary email address. From time to time a user will assign a second account to the email address. When the process runs, it sees the error and will not continue processing the remaining records. Any suggestions as to what I might be able to do? I need to have it so that the remaining records will process. (I think it may be important to note this is an application on a company intranet site.)
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have created a simple trigger that updates a table called documents in my database. When a row has been inserted it will change the field form_type to 'cabinet A' if a document_type is equal to 'form'.
Im fairly new to triggers and I€™m uncertain whether this trigger is updating the whole table or the new row? I only want the new row to be updated as the table is fairly large.
create trigger file_documents
on documents_table
after insert
as
begin
update documents_table
set cabinet = 'Cabinet A'
where document_type = 'FORM' end
Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?
Thanks!
Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:
SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',
)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................
how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you

Hi, i am trying to write a mulitple sql statement. basically i have 5 fields to search:
User ID
FirstName

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a simple forum. I want to display a list containing the forum names and last post date and last post author. I can view the date, but can't figure out a way to see the author. Here's the query i use:
SELECT ForumID, ForumTitle, ForumDesc, ForumTopics, ForumReplies, (SELECT MAX(AddedDate) FROM (SELECT ForumID, AddedDate, Author FROM dbo.Forums_Topic UNION ALL SELECT ForumId, AddedDate, Author FROM dbo.Forum_Reply) AS dates WHERE (ForumID = dbo.Forums.ForumID)) AS ForumLastPostDateFROM dbo.Forums
Any suggestion on how to show the author of the last message as well? Thanks in advance.
i want to find some repeatable data in a column,is there a sql syntax here?Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to create a view, but I am having trouble with the syntax (go figure!). It seems that as I reference more and more tables, my result set becomes smaller. For example, I want to return the state for all my customers then everything is fine, but when I want the state plus the site type (home, office, etc.) then I return fewer results. What is would be the correct syntax to use to return all the rows even if some of the columns have NULL?
SELECT TimeZone.LongZone, SiteMain.SiteNumber,
SiteType.SiteTypeDescription
FROM SiteType INNER JOIN
TimeZone ON SiteType.id = TimeZone.id INNER JOIN
SiteMain ON TimeZone.id = SiteMain.TimeZone AND
SiteType.id = SiteMain.SiteType
Can someone help me with the syntax for an if else statement such as:

Excuse my ignorance. I have been reading and studying this stuff
but still some questions.
Table Datatest Table B
ID Q1 Q2 Output ID Field1 Field2
1 Y N
2 Y Y
3 N N
Everytime someone adds a record to Table Datatest I want that ID
automatically
added to Table B.
What is the best way to do that? Is this were I use a trigger and
an
update or is there an easier way? Also case expressions again.
How do I add the results from a case to the same table using a trigger?
Like: 100 for ID 1
223 for ID 2
SELECT ID,
CASE WHEN Q1 = 'Yes' THEN 100
ELSE 0 end +
CASE WHEN Q2 = 'Yes' THEN 123
ELSE
end as Output,
FROM Datatest
Thanks for your help

Hello members, I have a trouble in retrieve correct query by SQL syntax. Ok I have use
SELECT * FROM tableOne WHERE UserID = 'mugun' AND First_Name LIKE '%tom%' OR Last_Name LIKE '%tom%' ORDER by First_Name ASC
Ok the probem is lets say, we have name TomCruise in our DB in First_NAme and Last_Name column. It return a correct value which is TomCruise. But if we change the syntax like this:
SELECT * FROM tableOne WHERE UserID = 'mugun' AND First_Name LIKE '%tomcruise%' OR Last_Name LIKE '%tomcruise%' ORDER by First_Name ASC
There is no result for the above statement. Why? Please help me . Thanx in advanced.
Here is the scenario:
Table A has customer info (name and address)
Table B is a phone log table...a new row is created for each new call. In the table is a Date (when the customer was called) and a column named 'stage' that will be filled out either with the word 'follow up', 'dead', or null.
So the relationship from Table A to B is 1 to many, respectively.
I want to ask the two tables this question: Give me name and address (from Table A) and LATEST date customer was called, but ONLY if the 'stage' column says 'follow up'.
Here is the problem...Dr. Jones has three rows in Table B, his latest call was today, but stage is set to 'dead'.
His second line in the table was called yesterday, with the designation of 'follow up'.
When I run my query, I pull out the row from yesterday, since it meets the criteria of 'follow up'....but this is wrong, as I only want the latest designation of 'follow up' IF its the lastest date for this customer.
Here is my syntax:
SELECT DISTINCT
MAX(tableB.date) AS latestdate, tableA.CONTACT, tableA.ADDRESS1,
FROM tableB INNER JOINTableA ON TableB.ACCOUNTNO = TableA.ACCOUNTNO
GROUP BY tableA.CONTACT, CONTACT1.ADDRESS1
HAVING (tableb.stage = 'follow-up')
Please help...thank you
Here is my situation:
Table A has three columns (aaa1, aaa2, aaa3)
Table B has three columns (bbb1, bbb2, bbb3)
Common field is aaa1 = bbb1
I write a query that retrieves 3 rows out of table a
(select aaa2, aaa3
from table a
where (aaa2 = green) and (aaa3 = yellow))
----------------------------------------------------------
When I now create a left outer join onto Table b, and add one more additional criteria to the where exisiting ones(aaa2=green,aaa3=yellow) which is bbb2='white', I expect to at least see my original three rows of data (since of my left outer join), but now only receive 2 rows of data, since the third row does not have bbb2 as white.
Im confused...I was expecting to see three rows of data, with the bbb2 column being null for the third row....but instead I only get two rows of data...how can I write my query that will give me what I expected ?
Thank you

If I place additional ( ) around "CHARINDEX() -1", SQL Server parses them out...
