Hi All,
When I use the following I get an error. I think it is because of duplicate records in my table.
Update person
Set username = (Select username
From update_person
Where person.firsname = update_person.firstname
and person.lastname = update_person.lastname)
There are a few users that have the same first and last name. How can I ignore the duplicate records and continue to update the table?
SQL Ver: 2008 (not r2) Problem: The following code returns correct results when moving variable declarations and update statement outside a stored procedure, but fails to return a value other than zero for the "COMPANY TOTAL" records. The "DEPT TOTAL" result works fine both in and outside the sp.This may have to do with handling NULL values since I was getting warning message earlier involving a value being eliminated by an aggregate function involving a NULL. I only got this message when running inside the sp, not when running standalone. I wrapped the values inside the SUM functions with an ISNULL, and now return a zero rather than NULL for the "COMPANY TOTAL" records when running inside SP.All variable values are correct when running.
SQL CODE: DECLARE @WIPMonthCurrent date = (SELECT TOP 1 WIPMonth FROM budxcWIPMonths WHERE ActiveWIPPeriod = 'Y') select @WIPMonthCurrent as WIPMonthCurrent
I am new to SQL and SQL Server world. There must be a simple solutionto this, but I'm not seeing it. I am trying to create a crystalreport (v8.5) using a stored procedure from SQL Server (v2000) inorder to report from two databases and to enable parameters.When I create the stored procedure, it joins multiple one-to-manyrelationship tables. This results in repeated/duplicate records. Isthis an issue that should be solved within the stored procedure, or isthis inevitable? If latter, how do you eliminate the duplicates inCrystal Reports?Let's say we have three different tables - Event, Food, Equipment.Each event may have multiple food and multiple equipments; some eventsmay not have food and/or equipments. The stored procedure outcome maylook like this:Event Food Food_Qty EquipmentEquipment_QtyEvent1 Food2 10 Equipment51Event1 Food4 10NULL NULLEvent2 Food4 50 Equipment210Event2 Food4 50 Equipment52Event2 Food1 12 Equipment210Event2 Food1 12 Equipment52As you can see in Event2, for each Food variations, Equipment valuesrepeat. When I am creating a Crystal Reports, I have the duplicationproblem.What I would like to see in the report is either:Event1Food2, 10 Equipment5, 1Food4, 10Event2Food4, 50 Equipment2, 10Food1, 12 Equipment5, 2OR:Event1Food2, 10Food4, 10Equipment5, 1Event2Food4, 50Food1, 12Equipment2, 10Equipment5, 2Attempt1: Using "Eliminate Duplicate Record" option does not work withthe Equipment section since CR does not recognize "Equipment2" in thethird line of the table and "Equipment2" in the fifth line of thetable as duplicates.Event1 Food2, 10 Equipment5, 1Food4, 10Event2 Food4, 50 Equipment2, 10Equipment5, 2Food1, 12 Equipment2, 10(duplication)Equipment5, 2(duplication)Attempt2: I created group for each category (Event, Food, Equipment),put the data in Group Headers and used "Suppress Section" to eliminateif the same equipments are listed more than once within the Foodgroup. This eliminated the duplication, but the items do not aligncorrectly.Event1 Food2, 10 Equipment5, 1Food4, 10Event2 Food4, 50 Equipment2, 10Equipment5, 2Food1, 12 (I want this to appear right below the'Food4, 50' line)I would really appreciate any suggestions! Thank you in advance.
This SQL is meant to show the changes that will be made, when removing a selected user's email address from a batch.
However, when executed, each row is duplicated, and in the duplication, the semi-colon or comma isn't removed. For example, if I wanted to remove user "sam@mail.com"
Ideally, it should only display each row once, and not have the semicolon error. It seems to be a union error, because when I comment out the First and second union statements, it runs fine.
-- Delete email address from a.Batch
IF(@EmailAddress IS NOT NULL) BEGIN IF(LEN(@EmailAddress) > 0) BEGIN IF(@ShowOnly = 1)
I am hoping someone can shed light on this odd behavior I am seeing running a simple UPDATE statement on a table in SQL Server 2000. I have 2 tables - call them Table1 and Table2 for now (among many) that need to have certain columns updated as part of a single transaction process. Each of the tables has many columns. I have purposely limited the target column for updating to only ONE of the columns in trying to isolate the issue. In one case the UPDATE runs fine against Table1... at runtime in code and as a manual query when run in QueryAnalyzer or in the Query window of SSManagementStudio - either way it works fine. However, when I run the UPDATE statement against Table2 - at runtime I get rowsaffected = 0 which of course forces the code to throw an Exception (logically). When I take out the SQL stmt and run it manually in Query Analyzer, it runs BUT this is the output seen in the results pane... (0 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) How does on get 2 answers for one query like this...I have never seen such behavior and it is a real frustration ... makes no sense. There is only ONE row in the table that contains the key field passed in and it is the same key field value on the other table Table1 where the SQL returns only ONE message (the one you expect) (1 row(s) affected) If anyone has any ideas where to look next, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I'm wanting to create a if statement that will query a table and check for a duplicate and if there is a duplicate return that uniqueID or if it doesnt find a duplicate continue to add a new record...so here is my question is there a way to run a if statement that will call a function (lets say a function that returns like a bool) and if it finds a duplicate grab that id and store it in a session.....i guess my question is how do i query the database for a record and if found return true if not return false....that is my question....
I need to create my select statement to pull product details based on category, clientid (database runs two e-commerce sites).When i add the 'ClientOffers' table, it messes up the results. i get some duplicates.
I have successfully built a messaging system into my application, I now in the process of displaying the messages in the UI.
The following are how my tables are constructed.
CREATE TABLE [MailBox].[Message]( [Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [SenderId] [bigint] NOT NULL, [Message] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL, [SentDate] [datetime] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_MailBox.Message] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] .....
Now I haven't set the foreign key on the MessageReceipient table yet. When someone sends me an email I insert a record into [MailBox].[Message] and output the insert id into MessageReceipient along with the ReceipientId this is working as expected, when I then click on my inbox I call the following stored procedure:
Select p.Username, count(mr.RecipientId) [TotalMessages], CASE WHEN mr.ReadDate is null then 1 -- New message WHEN mr.ReadDate is not null then 0 -- Message has been read END AS NewMessage FROM [User].[User_Profile] p JOIN [MailBox].[Message] m on p.Id = m.SenderId JOIN [MailBox].[MessageRecipient] mr on m.Id = mr.MessageId GROUP BY p.Username, mr.RecipientId, mr.ReadDate
This will give me the person who has emailed me, the total amount of messages and if the message is new or its been read, I do this by checking the ReadDate column as shown in the case statement (but this gives me duplicates, which is not what I want). Lets say user1 emails me 5 times so when I call this proc I will have the same user displayed to me 5 times, what I'm trying to achieve with the proc is it will show User1 as the following:
User1 5 Messages 1 or 0 New Messages
I can get it to display as follow when I remove the case statement
User1 5 Messages
but as soon as I add the case statement back in then I get 5 rows.
How can I change this proc in such a way that it will display the data as follows;
User1 5 Messages 1 or 0 New Messages
New Messages is dependent on ReadDate if its null then we have a new message, otherwise its been read.
I'm fairly new to SQL, so this might be simple question:
I am adding records to an SQL7 database by using the INSERT statement. The table has an IDENTITY field which is auto-incremented, so a value is not needed for the field in the query.
Is there any parameters for INSERT that returns to me the value of the IDENTITY field for the record I just created?...
Code: DECLARE @searchString nvarchar(100) SET @searchString = 'sample' SELECT TOP(1) * FROM user WHERE (user.identity LIKE @searchString OR CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ' + user.lastname) > 0) PS: Handwritten...
If I pass in a searchString that matches the Identity and a different users lastname, this query will return the user with the lastname-match (which is wrong in my eyes, it should have matched the Identity first, then returned that row [Identity is a Primary key, indexed non-clustered]).
I've tried various things: Removing LastName: (CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ') > 0), then the returned row is from a matching identity, due to the lastname of a user was a match, but lastname was removed...so :P Flipping the conditions around Adding/removing paranthesis... without any luck.
Is there some option somewhere, to force the OR statement to return on the first true condition. I've always thought OR-statements (in a computer that is) breaked and returned true on the first true condition it found (from left to right, not bother to check the rest of the conditions...)?Or do I have to rewrite the query, with an IF, checking if the @searchString is a valid identity-format, if it is, query on the identity, if not query on the username...?
I am using the following conditional select statement but it returns no results.
Declare @DepartmentName as varchar Set @DepartmentName = null Declare @status as bigint Set @status = 4 IF (@DepartmentName = null) BEGIN
SELECT CallNumber AS [Call Number], Problem, Solution, Note FROM AdminView WHERE (Status = @status) ORDER BY CallLoggedDT END ELSE IF (@DepartmentName <> null) Begin
SELECT CallNumber AS [Call Number], Problem, Solution, Note FROM dbo.AdminView WHERE (Status = @status) AND (DepartmentName = @DepartmentName) ORDER BY CallLoggedDT end
when i run the 2nd half by itself it tells me to declare @status but not @departmentname. whats going on???
I maintain a simple employment (job) tracking web application.
Jobs can be set to 5 different statuses: Open, Closed, Filled, Pending, or Cancelled.
There is a table in the database called statusLog, which records everytime a job is set to opened, or set to closed, etc. It records the job number, the date it was changed, and what the job was changed to.
Here is a short example of what a few entries might look like:
What I need to do is write an SQL query that will return to me all entries in this table, between two certain dates, that ONLY have entries during those dates.
Basically I need to know how many "new" jobs were set to open during a month. I can easily just do a count of how many jobs were set to open, but this will not give a count of "new" jobs.
Example: during june a job could be set to open. Then in july it could be set to pending. Then in august, it could be re-opened, and set to open.
If I ran this query for the month of August, it would return that job as being opened in august. But it wasn't a new job, meaning it had already been in the system in previous months.
Is there some way I can select all "Open" jobs, between a certain date, that do not exist anywhere in the table previous to the date it was entered? This would give me a result set containing only new jobs.
The only way I've thought of yet is to get a result set of all jobs simply set to open during a month, then one by one for each record, go back and run another SQL query to see if it exists in the table anywhere other than in that month.
This seems horribly inefficient to me however, as I do not want to be doing 34,000 independent SQL calls for every single "open" job it finds during a certain month.
I'm trying to update column based upon the results of a subquery. I'm getting the error that my Subquery returns more than one result. I've tried adding the EXISTS or IN keywords and cannot get the syntax right. I can't find any examples of how to write this with an Update query.
Here's my query:
UPDATE temp_UpdateRemainingHours SET UsedHours =
(SELECT dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.SumEnteredHours, dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD FROM dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD INNER JOIN dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours ON dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD = dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours.CHARGE_CD)
FROM dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD, temp_UpdateRemainingHours
WHERE dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD = dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours.CHARGE_CD
If I run the following select statment against the appropriate table it returns the duplilcate records in the result set. However, from this list I want to add an additional select statement embedded into the query that will actually return only those records with the most current syscreated date.
Example of script I'm using---
select cmp_fadd1, syscreated, cmp_name, cmp_code from cicmpy where cmp_fadd1 in (select cmp_fadd1 from cicmpy group by cmp_fadd1 having count(1) = 2) order by cmp_fadd1,syscreated desc
The results is:
Address Syscreated date Customer 1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2005-06-15 22:19:45.000 RELIABLE PARTSLTD 1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2004-01-22 18:10:05.000 RELIABLE PARTS LTD PEI CENTER 2006-01-05 22:03:50.000 P.G. ENERGY PEI CENTER 2004-01-22 17:57:56.000 P.G. ENERGY
From this I want to be able to select ONLY those records with the most current syscreated date or those records with 2005-06-15 and 2006-01-05
Ok well i have a stored procedure that returns an integer between 1 and 5. My problem now is i want to check to see if the table will return NULL and if so i don't want to assign the value to my variable otherwise it'll trow an error. My code is listed below but i keep getting the error "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid." i've also tried If getoptionpicked.Parameters("@optionpicked").Value = Nothing ThenIf getoptionpicked.Parameters("@optionpicked").Value Is system.dbnull Then below is the rest of the code If getoptionpicked.Parameters("@optionpicked").Value Is Nothing Then Else optionpicked = getoptionpicked.Parameters("@optionpicked").Value If optionpicked = 1 Then option1.Checked = True ElseIf optionpicked = 2 Then option2.Checked = True ElseIf optionpicked = 3 Then option3.Checked = True ElseIf optionpicked = 4 Then option4.Checked = True ElseIf optionpicked = 5 Then option5.Checked = True Else End If End If
I am struggling with the below join block in my stored procedure. I can't seem to get the duplicate row problem to go away. It seems that SQL is treating each new instance of an email address as reason to create a new row despite the UNIONs. I understand that if I am using UNION, using DISTINCT is redundant and will not solve the duplicate row problem.
Primary Keys: none of the email address columns are primary keys. Each table has an incrementing ID column that serves as the primary key.
I am guessing I am encountering this problem because of how I have structured my Join statements? Is it possible to offer advice without a deeper understanding of my data model or do you need more information?
Thanks for any tips.
Code:
select emailAddress from Users union select user_name from PersonalPhotos union select email_address from EditProfile union select email_address from SavedSearches union select distinct email_address from UserPrecedence union select email_address from LastLogin) drv Left Join Users tab1 on (drv.emailAddress = tab1.emailAddress) Inner Join UserPrecedence tab5 on tab5.UserID=tab1.UserID Left Join PersonalPhotos tab2 on (drv.emailAddress = tab2.user_name) Left Join LastLogin tab4 on (drv.emailAddress = tab4.email_address) Left Join EditProfile tab3 on (drv.emailAddress = tab3.email_address) Left Join SavedSearches tab6 on (drv.emailAddress = tab6.email_address
If I run this statement in Query Analyzer, it properly returns 1for my testing table. But if I put the statement into a storedprocedure, the stored procedure returns NULL. What am I doingwrong? I suspect it may be related to how I defined the parametersfor the stored procedure. Perhaps my definition of TableName andColumnName don't match what COLUMNPROPERTY and OBJECT_ID expect toreceive, but I don't know where to look for the function declarationsfor those. Any pointers would be appreciated.Select statement:SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Table1'), 'TestID', 'IsIdentity') ASIsIdentityTable definition:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([TestID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Stored Procedure definition:CREATE PROCEDURE spTest(@TableName varchar,@ColumnName varchar)AS SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @ColumnName,'IsIdentity') AS IsIdentity

With merge/insert statements ...Is DISTINCT best way to handle problem of source table containing duplicate rows, along with WHERE NOT IN statement? the source dataset is large and having to do DISTINCT and further filtering is taxing on the ETL.
Hello: I need assistance writing a SELECT statement. I need data from a table that matches one (or more) of multiple criteria, and I need to know which of those criteria it matched. For instance, looking at the Orders table in the Northwind database, I might want all the rows with an OrderDate after Jan 1, 1997 and all the rows with a ShippedDate after June 1, 1997. Depending on which of those criteria the row matches, it should include a field stating whether it is in the result set because of its OrderDate, or its ShippedDate. One way of doing this that I've already tried is: SELECT 'OrderDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE OrderDate > '1-1-1997'UNIONSELECT 'ShippedDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE ShippedDate > '6-1-1997' In my application, scanning a table with thousands of records for five sets of criteria takes a few seconds to run, which is not acceptable to my boss. Is there a better way of doing this than with the UNION operator? Thank you
I want to write a statement something like this SELECT Add_Date, File_No FROM dbo.File_Storage WHERE (File_No = 11/11/1234/) But i want the search to ignore the first 2 digits so that it will return e.g 10/11/1234, 09/11/1234 so that it's only matching the last part Any Help Would be greatly appreciated Thanks
I've a weird problem in my application. In of the pages, while trying to update the text box "Name", when I enter Linda's test, it gets saved as Linda''s test. I'm not sure if this is a problem due to SQL server. When I look at the stored procedure, I don't anything different. Also, when I update the table directly in SQL Server, the result is displayed in single quote. But if I update the field thro' the application, the returned name is with double quotes instead of single quote. Has any of you faced problems like this? What am I missing? What do I need to do to get the name saved the way I entered (with single quotes) instead of double quotes?
