Is there a way of changing the value of a column in a view? For example, I have a table with defect code and a description (other columns as well). In a view, I would like to see only the defect code and the description, but if the code is > 90, I would like to define what the description is.
TIA

I have two tables, one a data table, the other a product table. I want to perform a join on the two tables with values distributed into columns based on the value in the month field.
data_table
product_code month value
350 1 10
350 2 20
350 3 30
product_table
product_code profit_center
350 4520
result_view
product_code profit_center mon1 mon2 mon3
350 4520 10 20 30
My current query gives the following result
result_view
product_code profit_center mon1 mon2 mon3
350 4520 10 0 0
350 4520 0 20 0
350 4520 0 0 30
Any direction toward a solution would be appreciated. Am using SS2005.
I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A:
(name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry)
-a view will later split this large varchar string based
column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256)
....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?
Hey everyone,
I have a view that shows the email address and first name of a Membership table. I need to add a column to this view that doesn't have a corresponding column in the original table that has some default value.
i.e. the view currently shows:
John john@something.com
I need it to say:
John john@something.com EmailBlast
The third column will always have that value.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

SQL 2005 9.00.3402.00 (x64) As Above really when I select * OR select a single column from the view the wrong column data is returned. in SQL Management Studio when I expand the Columns of the view it reflects the old table structure not the new table structure. I can easily fix by compiling the view again but this would mean I would have to recompile all referencing views when I make a change to table structures. I've tried various DBCC Clean Buffers & drop cache with no effect. Is there a command to recompile all views & poss stored procs in a database. Any help or explanation would be appreciated GW

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am dealing with what I believe is Oracle that is the source of a SQL View.
I am seeing a data type of Integer in the View, but I am not able to see what makes up that View. When I query the View, I can see that an Integer data type column is storing a blank space. I use ISNUMERIC(ColumnName) = 0 and there are a lot of rows that show as a zero length blank space, or text, or something. I just know that it is not an Integer.
I have attempted to CAST and Convert this value, but it will not. I have changed the data type on the table that is being inserted in too, and it still fails with a Conversion error. I have tried REPLACE(), but still the same conversion error.
I have a table with Million plus records. Due to Running Totals article, I have been able to calculate the Trial_Balance for all months.

I have a SQL table that consists of columns A, B and C. I am trying to construct a view consisting of all columns (i.e. A, B, C) and a computed column. This computed column has the following logic:
If B is blank or null then NewColumn = A + ' - ' C
else
NewColumn = A + ' - ' + B
I am just wondering how the SQL statement should look like....
I have a view that has 2 columns. The first column is associated with a function for the Units. The second column calculates the Market Value:
View
====
Col1: Unit = get_number_of_units()
Col2: MV = get_number_of_units() * get_unit_value()
I need to call get_number_of_units() twice in the view. Is it possible to changes Col2 to something like: MV = Col1 * get_unit_value()?
Is get_unit_value() being called if I do Select Col1 from View?
Thanks.

I'm using SQL Server 2008 to solve the following exercise.
I have three Tables:
Table CUSTOMER with columns: CustomerID,Company,ContactName,Phone
Table ORDER with columns: OrderID,OrderDate,ShippedDate,ShipperID,Freight,CustomerID
Table Shipper with columns:ShipperID,Company,Phone
I need to Create a view listing the shipper and the number of unshipped orders. I have been trying to use joins or possibly subqueries, but I'm not getting a correct result for a ShipperID with NO unshipped orders.My view should looks like: ShipperID, Company, Phone, UnshippedOrders
how can i reference a column in a view.
My duplicate check runs against the entire column. There might be another test field that has the same value, and that might be valid, so im trying to make sure that when i do the check, i am checking only against the serial number field and not all test fields.
Not sure if I am approaching this correctly. I can get name, address, zip code from a table via a VIEW. But the problem is I need to create another column called "status" in the same view that is based on "customer_end_date" if end_date> GETDATE() then 'P'(pick-up) and end_date< GETDATE () then 'I'(install). Using a stored procedure this is easy...but how would I do this in a VIEW?

Hi,I have a view that looks something like this -CREATE VIEW myview AS SELECTmyudf(col1) as col1, col2, col3FROM mytableThe view has an 'INSTEAD OF' trigger on it to do the correct thing oninsert. When I run the bcp, it runs successfully, but the valueinserted into col1 is always NULL. I modified my trigger to get abetter idea of what was happening, and when I look at the values ofINSERTED.col1, they are all null. It appears that bcp is setting thecolumn value to null, presumable because the view definintion for thiscolumn is a derived column.Does any one know a way around this?Thanks!

I have a view that shows payment amount, payment date. I need to add a column to the view that shows what fiscal year the payment belongs to.
How can this be done?
I do have a table that has the fiscal start and end in it, tblGlobal with fields FiscalYearStart and FiscalYearEnd.
I need a view that will:
1) select the distinct values in a column (the easy part)
2) assign the equivalent of an identity column to each row containing the distinct value it returns.
For example TableA contains 25 records but one of the columns only contains three unique values (say, 'A','B', & 'C').
This is what I want my view to return:
1 A
2 B
3 C
In other words, I need the view to assign the 1, 2 and 3 to the individual rows.
Thanks in advance for any pointers on this one.
I have a view where the results would be like this.(userid,name,rolekey are my col names with data)
userid name rolekey

Hi all!
I'm trying to script a view that does a simple query to some tables.
The catch is 2 of the columns are created on run time.
The first column is filled with a calculation with values of other columns. The 2nd column I would like to fill with the ranking of this calculated column
Example: (imagine caculatedcol is Sum(Col1+Col2+Col3)
Col1 Col2 Col3 CalculatedCol Ranking
10 10 10 30 1
9 9 9 27 2
8 8 8 24 3
7 7 7 21 4
How can I get the Ranking column filled based on the calculated column?
I'm desperate.
Thanks for any help.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing SQL Server 2005. Defined partitioned view with computed column. Computed column was a constant varchar. Ran a SELECT. According to Query Execution Plan, SQL did recognize the computed column as the partitioning column and used it to optimize the query.
However MSDN says a computed column cannot be used as the partitioning column.
Could someone from MS clarify?
Hello,
please enlighten me regarding an issue with partitioned view... There are 3 tables in my DB of a similar structure:
CREATE TABLE Table1 (value1 varchar(1))
CREATE TABLE Table2 (value1 varchar(1))
CREATE TABLE Table3 (value1 varchar(1))
INSERT INTO Table1 (value1)
SELECT 'a' UNION SELECT 'b' UNION SELECT 'c'
INSERT INTO Table2 (value1)
SELECT 'a' UNION SELECT 'b' UNION SELECT 'c'
INSERT INTO Table3 (value1)
SELECT 'a' UNION SELECT 'b' UNION SELECT 'c'
As sometimes we need to access all data from these tables, a view has been created:
CREATE VIEW AllData AS
SELECT value1, '1' as table_id from Table1
UNION ALL
SELECT value1, '2' as table_id from Table2
UNION ALL
SELECT value1, '3' as table_id from Table3
The problem is that while running a query like
SELECT * from AllData WHERE value1 = 'a' and table_id = '3'
I see a table scan being performed on all 3 tables, not just table3 - i.e optimisation engine doesn't care for my table_id computed column and for that fact that required data is located ONLY in Table3.
Is there any way to force optimiser to consider this column andrrebuild a plan? If not - how can I rebuild a view (I can't modify tables) to achieve that? Maybe create an index for a view?
Thanks in advance. RTFM and search don't seem to clarify this for me...
Thanks a lot, Greg!
Well, I have another question.
In SQL-2005, till SP2 version, there is a bug, dialed with treating an identity column in a view as an ordinary int column, when the compatibility verison of the DB is set to 80: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920974
In SQL Server 2005 Express Edition CTP (since version 9.00.3027), which is available to download from Microsoft site, this bug was fixed.
Please tell if you know, how can I get an evaluation copy of any other edition of this version, where merge publication feature could be tested?
Is there any way to get the base table/column from a view by supplying the view name/column name_in_view? I know about INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE, but it doesn't always work. Try it on a regular database, not pubs. Any help is appreciated!
