HI,
Is there any way to replicate the decode function in SQL Server 7.0? I have a problem where I have to write a query such that if the value in a column is '0' , I need to output it as 'No' and if it is '1', I need to output it as 'Yes'. An example of my problem is as follows:
select col_1+","+(value 'No' if col_2='0' and 'Yes' if col_2='1')+
","+col_3+...........
I appreciate your help in advance.
thanks,
Sravan.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following code in a stored procedure which needs modification as a result of the change in the input format for display_cur_price_tx field(price range).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
old format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69 - $99
Old code for sp:
case charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx)
when 0 then rtrim(convert (char(12), Convert (Numeric(7, 2), rtrim (substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, 2, len(p.display_cur_price_tx))))))
else rtrim (Convert(Char(12), Convert(Numeric(7 ,2), substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, 2, convert (int, charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx) - 2))))) + ' - ' +rtrim(Convert (Char(12), convert(Numeric(7, 2), substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx) + 3, len(p.display_cur_price_tx)))))
endas price
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69-$99 9without the spaces inbetween).
What needs to be new code for sp?
If I still run the old code mentioned above now, I am getting the following error:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 4
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
Any help on how to modify the above code to suit the new format for price range?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

In Oracle we have expression
SELECT
.....
DECODE (T.LANGUAGE, 'E', T.DESC_ENG, T.DESC)
FROM
TABLE T
if acts like that :
if T.LANGUAGE = 'E' it returns T.DESC_ENG. If it is different - T.DESC.
Is there some way to make the same in MS SQL Server ?
I have to run a query to give a column a value based on a time range. Can Iuse DECODE?select decode(trans_date, trans_date>='01-Jul-2002' andtrans_date<='30-Jun-2003','Fiscal2002', .....) as fiscal,from. . .where. . .
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a search function in my website, which is fully functionable.
But currently, this is the issue that I am having problem with.
For example:
I have only the name 'John' in my database.
When the user search for 'John Tan', no results is shown as there was no such name in the database
But if this happens, I want 'John' to be always returned and shown, no matter what 'John' the user search - E.g "john tan", John Loh", john wee"
So, how do I go about doing this? I have done some research on how to go about doing it, what I found useful was the .Replace() function. However, I can never predict in advance what user is going to key in.
Any help is welcome as this is a rather pressing problem of mine. Thanks for all the help in advance!!!
Hey folks,
In Sybase SQL Any where, we have a function called Number (*) which will in turn generate serial numbers like ex..
Select Number (*) from x
The output will be
Number(*)
1
2
3

and so on..
I need a equivalent function in SQL Server 7.0 in which if i do select on that particular function with a table i should return above values..
Can any one solve this issue...

Hi
I have oracle statement and I want to translate it in SQL Server:
select DECODE(count(bid_Vendor), 1, NULL, COUNT(BID_VENDOR))
from bid_total
I tried it this way:
Select case(count(bid_vendor) when 1 then null else count(bid_vendor)end) as cs from bid_total
It gave me error i.e.
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'when'
Hello,
I need to do the following:
Lets say we have the following table.
A B C
1 XYZ XYZ
100
Now if the value of a is "100" then i need to do a join and get a value from another table, else I put the value of b a "test"
I am trying to do this using case
like this
select case
(when a = 100 then (select col from ....where newtable.id = a.id
else "test"
end) as xyz
from a,b,other tables.
But the problem is that the subquery returns more than one row..(it should return one row)
How do I do this?
hi i have a view in oracle. in that i am using decode function.
same query i want to write it in sqlserver. what it is the alternate
to decode.
this is a cross tab query
SELECT code, SUM(DECODE(field1, 4, Present_Value, 0)) AS c1, SUM(DECODE(field1, 5, Present_Value, 0)) AS c2,
SUM(DECODE(field1, 6, Present_Value, 0)) AS c3,SUM(DECODE(field1, 9, Present_Value, 0)) AS c4
FROM (SELECT field1,Code, Present_Value FROM table1) DERIVEDTBL GROUP BY code

Hi,I have two questions, firstly..
I am hoping there is a way to GROUP BY on a concatenated output like the following decode etc..
SELECT
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'','Reasons not entered',PRIM_REASN)
|| ' '
||SECDY_REASN
|| ' '
|| TERT_REASN) Downtime_Reasons,
EVENT_DUR/60 Minutes
FROM
DOWNTIME_WEB
WHERE
DOWNTIME_WEB.TIMESTAMP>= (SELECT PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME
FROM PRODN_SHIFT
WHERE
PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME <=sysdate
AND PRODN_SHIFT.END_DATIME > sysdate)
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.STATUS_TEXT) = 'STOPPED'
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.WORK_CTR_NAME) = 'PACK2'
ORDER BY DOWNTIME_WEB.EVENT_DUR
I have tried to put the DECODE etc into the GROUP BY statement but I get an error - " not a valid GROUP BY clause"
Secondly, is there a way of modifying value in field A based on the value in field B
Erroneous example follows - in an effort to explain what I want to do (from above):
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'',(DECODE(EVENT_DUR,<200,"Low",>200,"High"),PRIM_REASN)
ie:If PRIM_REASN is null I want EVENT_DUR to be tested to determine the new value for PRIM_REASN.
Except that tthe above won't work and I don't know what the right function/argument should be..
This is my first foray into SQL server, I am trying to migrate some access queries to work with web services and hence Xcelsius.
Cheers.
What is the function in SQL that works like DECODE in Oracle?"Thanks,N
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi!
I have a question about the "Decode" funktion. is it only avaiable in Oracle? The reason for my question is that I need to SELECT a colum in a table based on a int value. So if the uservalue is lower then that take that colum, lower then that take colum...etc.
Can I use decode? or/and is there better funktion (I'm using MS SQL 2005)
Thanks in advance

Hi All!!!
I was tasked to come up with a search function and the content of the database given to me is in Chinese Characters. This would be my first time dealing with Chinese characters in the database and I need help with the following problem:
The company wants to conduct the search in such a way that, instead of having the system read the entire sentence/phrase which the user keyed in as a SINGLE string, they want the Chinese Characters to be accessed individually, so that as long as any information in the database contains any one of the characters which the user have entered, they will be retrieved and returned.
So how do I go about doing this? Does it have anything to do with Unicode? By the way, everything abt the search tool is working fine, I am just left with this dilemma of having the system recognise the entire sentence as ONE STRING, instead of conducting a search word by word or character by character.
Anyway, the following is the SQL statement of my SQL Data Source which is bound to a Gridview displaying the returned results after a search is done...1 SELECT Name, Trans, Address1, Address1T, Address2, Address2T, City, CityT, CRPLID
2 FROM CRPL
3 WHERE (Trans LIKE '%' + @Trans + '%') OR
4 (Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') OR
5 (Address1 LIKE '%' + @Address1 + '%') OR
6 (Address1T LIKE '%' + @Address1T + '%') OR
7 (Address2 LIKE '%' + @Address2 + '%') OR
8 (Address2T LIKE '%' + @Address2T + '%') OR
9 (City LIKE '%' + @City + '%') OR
10 (CityT LIKE '%' + @CityT + '%')
Thanks for all your help in advance!!!
I need to know what is the DECODE statement called in SQLSERVER?

Hi, Here is my oracle statement. How can I change it to be compatible with SQL Server?
update propertytable set visible =decode(propertyid, 1,0, 2,0, 3,1, 5,1, 6,1, 7,0, 9,1, 10,1, 11,0, 14,1, 30,1, 38,1, 60,0, 232,0, 233,0, 415,1, 605,0) where parentid between 2000006001 and 2000006020
Thanks...
I am a novice to SQL Server, so this is probably a really easy problemto fix. I'm translating an Oracle query and need to change the'decode' to something compatible. Everything I've read points me tousing 'case' but no matter how I write it I can't get it to work andget a syntax error. Suggestions?select SYST CTR, isnull(substring(CD_A, 1, 3), ' ') RESCODE, DES DESCRIPTION, decode (substring(CD_A, 1, 3), CODE,PRICE,0) UNIT_PRICE, count (distinct OR_NO) QTYW

Hi,
How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????
cheers,
I REALLY need to perform a JOIN and a GROUP BY on a CASE function column alias, but I'm receiving an "Invalid column name" error when attempting to run the query. Here's a snippet:

END,
Table2.SelectCol2
FROM Table1
JOIN Table2 ON NewColumn = Table2.ColumnName
GROUP BY NewColumn, Table2.SelectCol2

I really appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI
Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.

I do have a valid domain account
I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.

Hello,
I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query.
Ex.
how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server?
Access
------
SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM
FROM MAT_Charts
WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested:
[GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
Thank you very much for your concern.
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work.
