SQL logic, and I've been working (and researching) this all day with zero success..My goal is to try an pass a variable from an ASP page to a stored procedure, which is utilizing the variable as criteria for a column_name in the where clause.So for example (a simplified version of my query):
@strDept nvarchar(10), @strUser nvarchar(30)
-- the asp page will pass f19 to @strDept
-- the asp page will pass the logged in username to @strUser
select x, y, z from table1 where @strDept in (@strUser)
The stored procedure does execute, but it returns no values. Is that because the where variable has no data at compile time? If not, I can't think of any reason why this is not working. (I have tried a case statement, before the select to set the variable too and that returned the same result.)
I have a problem with executing following T-SQL select query.My select statement looks like thisSELECT * FROM (@TableName_FirstPart + @TableName_secondPart)**@TableName_FirstPart & @TableName_SecondPart are Local variables**Im getting Incorrect syntax error for this statement.Following is the error message:"Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 55Line 55: Incorrect syntax near '+'."Is it possible to construct table names in the FROM clause dynamically ?Thanks in advance
I have an SSIS package which uses variables and foreach loop containers so connect to multiple instances to retrieve config data. I am adding an extra step to include the port of each instance.
I used a select from a central table to get the connection strings, which is put into [User::Server2]
Hi, I need to include two input variables in my Order By Clause in a stored procedure like ORDER BY @column @Dirction. But MS SQL does not allow me to do so and gives an Error 1008. How can i solve this problem?
I can't understand why I get 2 different results on running with a Bracket I get 'NULL' and without a bracket I get the declared variable value which is 'Noname'
Below is Query 1:
Declare @testvar char(20) Set @testvar = 'noname' Select @testvar= pub_name FROM publishers WHERE pub_id= '999' Select @testvar
Out put of this query is 'Noname'
BUT when I type the same query in the following manner I get Null-------Please note that the only difference between this query below is I used brackets and Select in the Select@testvar statement
Declare @testvar char(20) Set @testvar = 'noname' Select @testvar=(Select pub_name FROM publishers WHERE pub_id= '999') Select @testvar
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?
I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?
Hi, can anyone shed some light on this issue?SELECT Status from lupStatuswith a normal query it returns the correct recordcountSELECT Status from lupStatus GROUP BY Statusbut with a GROUP By clause or DISTINCT clause it return the recordcount= -1
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
) Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.
I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v order by v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2 I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16 A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet select cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id from ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) v cross join ( select 1 id union select 2 id union select 11 id ) u order by v.id ,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

what is differance between conditions put in ON clause and in WHERE clause in JOINS????
see conditions that shown in brown color
select d1.SourceID, d1.PID, d1.SummaryID, d1.EffectiveDate, d1.Audit, d1.ExpirationDate, d1.Indicator from[DB1].[dbo].[Implicit] d1 inner join [DB2].[dbo].[Implicit] d2 on d1.SummaryID=d2.SummaryID AND d1.ListType = d2.ListType AND (d1.EffectiveDate <= d2.ExpirationDate or d2.ExpirationDate is null) AND (d1.ExpirationDate >= d2.EffectiveDate or d1.ExpirationDate is null) whered1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID AND (d1.SourceID<>d2.SourceID OR (d1.SourceID IS NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NOT NULL) OR (d1.SourceID IS NOT NULL AND d2.SourceID IS NULL) )

another thing...
if we put AND d1.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitID condition in second query then shall we remove d1.ImplicitID >= d2.ImplicitID from WHERE clause????
Hi everyone, I saw some queries where SQL inner join clause and the where clause is used at the same time. I knew that "on" is used instead of the "where" clause. Would anyone please exaplin me why both "where" and "on" clause is used in some sql Select queries ?
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave

I am testing SQL Server 7.0. In Stored Proc I try to select a database which name is stored in the variable @databasename. I get the error that it can't open a database @databasename. Can I declare the database object in T-SQL?
/* Get Name of Server & declare variables */ declare @sname varchar(30) declare @db1 varchar(30) declare @db2 varchar(30) declare @db3 varchar(30) declare @dbf1 varchar(30) declare @dbf2 varchar(30) declare @dbf3 varchar(30)
select @sname = rtrim(substring(srvname,5,30)) from sysservers
print 'The name of this server is: ' + @sname
Set @db1 = @sname + 'database1' Set @db2 = @sname + 'database2' Set @db3 = @sname + 'database3' Set @dbf1 = @db1 + 'RL_log' Set @dbf2 = @db2 + 'RL_log' Set @dbf3 = @db3 + 'RL_log'
print @db1 print @dbf1 go
ALTER DATABASE @db1 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf1, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go ALTER DATABASE @db2 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf2, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go ALTER DATABASE @db3 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf3, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go .....
When I run it, I get the following errors: ..... The name of this server is: KANSASCITY KANSASCITYdatabase1 KANSASCITYdatabase1RL_log Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2 Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '@db1'. Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db2'. Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db3'. .....
Don't let the line numbers fool you. They refer to the number of lines since the last 'go' in the script. As you can see, the @db1 and @dbf1 variables are evaluating correctly.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH: I am attempting to change the setting of the Transaction Log to grow to fill up the entire disk. I do not wish to limit the space at this time. I have approximately 200 servers to manage and this script would be most useful in managing them, if it only worked.
Should I be using a different function to change the settings on the Transaction Log? Something other than ALTER DATABASE?
I want to change database in my SQL-script like this: DECLARE @DB_NAME varchar(30) SELECT * FROM @DB_NAME.dbo.TableName, but it is syntactically incorrect. I could use USE (@DB_NAME) but I write Stored Procedure, it is not allowed using USE statement in any Stored Procedures.
I have a MS SQL server DB which stores tables and queries and a MS Access DB which acts as an interface and stores Forms. I am a MS Access Developre and this is my first MS Sql Server DB. I would like to know how can i pass a variable which is an object in a Form (In MS Access DB) to a query in MS SQL?
In MS Access( i mean mdb file which all tables, queries and forms are in one mdb file)it is very easy, for example if you would like to pass idfld from Form of frminfo to a query you can say: Where idname like " & Forms!frminfo!idfld , but it does not work on MS SQL. Would you please tell me how can i use a variable in MS SQL query?
I'm working on a DTS package that runs against development databases. At some point I'll move it to qual for testing, and I'll have to change names of servers and credentials for some of the connections. Can I do that with global variables? BOL aren't very helpful about this.
To be more specific. I'll have one "master" package that will be kicking off other packages. I've found in help that I can use dtsrun to pass variables - so I'm assuming that DBAs moving packages from one environment to another will adjust parameters passed by dtsrun to the "master" package. But how does the "worker" package reference global variable from the "master" package? And how do I reference global variable inside the "worker" package so that it's value is used for any of the properties I see when clicking on "disconnected properties" (like server name or user name)?
Is there some sort of tutorial out there that explains use of global variables?
Basically I am creating a wizard(using forms) within a database to import client files and reformat them into the format that we need.
I have a form that list all 26 column headings that I need and tied to each column headings is a combo box that that lists the column headings from the imported client file.
I need to create a query that either appends it to an already formatted file or creates a new table with the column headings.
The problem is the field headings from the imported file change. This is the sql that I used that doesn't work:
INSERT INTO Formatted_Data ( Field X ) SELECT Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33] FROM Imported_Data;
Because Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33] is not recognized. I think if I could create a variable to replace the Forms! part then it would work but I do not know how to do this,
I have a simple task flow which takes data from an external table and puts it into a SQL server table. In the SQL server table I have a column which flags the data source. I have set up a variable in the variable window to hold a constant which was the appropriate value for the column. I cannot see how to map the variable I have created to the column in my output table.
Not sure if variables do what I think they do, can anyone give me a simple overview, and point me in the right direction to add my constant into the output table.
Is the only way to get a SSIS variable to change values via a configuration file or table? I thought that at one point in developing some SSIS packages that if I changed the value of a variable in a script that value was then retained.
