Sql Server + Alias Name In Where Condition
Dec 1, 2007Today I found a problem with alias name during retrieving values from database table with alias name. My query was like as following:
========================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityFrom tblEmployeeWhere EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
When I execute this query I get all the record which contains the N% in EmpName as well as from FirstName. As you know that should not because I give alias name EmpName to EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirst. But here the problem is we cannot use the alias name in Where condition.
I resolve this problem by using #temp table like the following:=======================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityInto #tmpEmployeeFrom tblEmployee
Select * from #tmpEmployee where EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
It really very simple, isn’t it? You can use the reference link:Reference: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread82710.html

Can Create Alias Server1DBInstance1 On Server3DBInstance3 And Assign Objects To That Alias
Nov 24, 2015We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server.  Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects?  Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2?  Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too?  Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?
View 16 Replies View RelatedCan I Print The Results Of A Condition Based On The Condition?
Feb 9, 2006For example..
select * from mytable where MyNum = 7
If this brings back more than 1 row, I want to display a message that says,
Print 'There is more than one row returned'
Else (If only 1 row returned), I don't want to print anything.
Can I do this? Thx!
COndition Spli - Error Date Condition
Apr 19, 2007Dear friends,
I'm having a problem... maybe it's very simple, but with soo many work, right now I can't think well...
I need to filter rows in a dataflow...
I created a condition spli to that... maybe there is a better solution...
And the condition is: Datex != NULL(DT_DATE)
(Some DATE != NULL)
[Eliminar Datex NULL [17090]] Error: The expression "Datex != NULL(DT_DATE)" on "output "Case 1" (17123)" evaluated to NULL, but the "component "Eliminar Datex NULL" (17090)" requires a Boolean results. Modify the error row disposition on the output to treat this result as False (Ignore Failure) or to redirect this row to the error output (Redirect Row). The expression results must be Boolean for a Conditional Split. A NULL expression result is an error.
What is wrong??

Pedro
Reporting Services :: SSRS IIF One Condition Or IIF Another Condition
Jun 22, 2015I am trying to write an visibility function to have message shown based on two different IIF conditions:
If behavior is to Add a customer ( if message =NAME ALREADY EXISTS, return " NAME ALREADY EXISTS",   otherwize return " NAME CREATED")If behavior is to Delete a customer (( if message =NAME DOES NOT EXIST, return "NAME DOES NOT EXIST",   otherwize return "NAME SUCCESSFULLY DELETED")
I tried the following which doesn't work:

IIF((UCase(First(Fields!Message.Value, "DataSetName")) = " NAME DOES NOT EXIST"), "WARNING: NAME DOES NOT EXIST", " NAME DELETED")

An Easy Way To Reference The Nth Row From A Table Meeting A Condition X, And The Mth Row From The Same Table Meeting Condition Y
May 10, 2006Hi
I am developing a scientific application (demographic forecasting) and have a situation where I need to update a variety of rows, say the ith, jth and kth row that meets a particular condition, say, x.
I also need to adjust rows, say mth and nth that meet condition , say y.
My current solution is laborious and has to be coded for each condition and has been set up below (If you select this entire piece of code it will create 2 databases, each with a table initialised to change the 2nd,4th,8th and 16th rows, with the first database ignoring the condition and with the second applying the change only to rows with 'type1=1' as the condition.)
This is an adequate solution, but if I want to change the second row meeting a second condition, say 'type1=2', I would need to have another WITH...SELECT...INNER JOIN...UPDATE and I'm sure this would be inefficient.
Would there possibly be a way to introduce a rank by type into the table, something like this added column which increments for each type:
ID
Int1
Type1
Ideal Rank by Type
1

The solution would then be a simple update based on an innerjoin reflecting the condition and rank by type...
I hope this posting is clear, albeit long.

Dbo Alias
Mar 30, 2000We have an alias for dbo in various code areas, development/test/production. It was easy to tell the DBO alias
on release 6.5 but now on 7.0, the only way I can figure out if the userid is aliased to dbo is to sign on as the userid
and query 'select user_name( )' and if it returns dbo, I have the answer. Is there an easier way to do this by looking in a
system catalog or is there something else I am missing? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram
DBO ALIAS?
Jul 1, 1999In 6.5 you could alias someone as dbo, thus preventing an ownership chain break. In 7.0 there are roles, one of which is db_owner. I gave a user db_owner role, and they created a table. But no one else can see it? And he is listed as the owner in EM. How do I more effectivly mimic the dbo alias available in 6.5?

Jun 2, 2008Hi All,
I've just installed an active/active sql cluster. Both are named instance hence if i need to connect to it, I need to use NODE1SQLINST1 and NODE2SQLINST2. Is there a way to just use NODE1 or any other single name to connect to the sql instance? I was looking at Alias but I can't get it working. Anyone has any ideas or suggestion for me? Reason why i want to do this is in an odbc connection, instead of using NODE1SQLINST1, I can use NODE1.
Thanks

ROLES Vs Alias
Feb 16, 1999I am just getting started with SQL Sever 7.0, most things are must easier and simpler.
I do have one mind set problem
With SQL 6.5 I created a logon(JAWS) , aliased the developers to the logon(JAWS)
and all the tables and other objects were owned by ((JAWS). The developers would then grant
access to the tables. And the users would open JAWS.tablename.
In the SQL 7.0 test are I take an NT group that have the devlopers in them and allow SQL SErver
logon for that group. Then I allow the group access to the database and give the group
database roles of db_owner, db_ddladmin, db_datareader and db_datawriter.
The developers can create objects but the objects are not owned by the role but are
owned by the indivudual NT accounts that are in the NT group.
Any hint of what to change to have the ownership show up as the NT group??

Database Alias
Sep 27, 2006Is there any way in SQLServer (2000) to setup an alias to another SQLServer database?
What I want/need to do is this:
.i have a database for each project but many of the tables schemas/triggers/stored procedures/etc. are common so what I want to do is run one set scripts. I want to essentially set up a project structure so that all specific app databases also include some core stuff.
.for example, consider a Users table (simple example). For two applications we have exactly the same users structure, sprocs, triggers, etc. but we have physically different data. I just want to run the same ddl.
.but the users table has a log associated with it in an associated log database. The trigger (and some historical queries) refer to the explicit log database (App1Log.Users, for example).
.what i'm figuring is that if i could set up an alias to the log database and have the sql code refer to that I'd be able to reuse all the code very neatly:
set logDBAlias = 'App1Log'
insert into logDBAlias.Users etc....
.trouble is I cannot figure out how to alias the log database!
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Server Alias
May 13, 2004how to add a alias to a server?
I have gone through BOL where it says it can be done thru right click agent -->> connections and configure alias.
i want to know if i configure a alias to a server from a client is it valid for other connections also?
meaning there are two database servers A and B
i add alias to server A by using client network utilities on server B,
then is this alias available if i try to connect to the server A thro some other server c?
hope this is not that confusing as it sounds. ;)

Is table alias using in a query only for Readablity?
