I would like to perform a procedure
which takes a string of numbers and searches for strings in a table which include all the
given numbers in any particular order. problem is i can only return strings
which include 'any' of the letters in the search string and not
'all'.
this is how i perform it so far:
@IncludeNumbers
VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Phone AS [Telephone
Number]
FROM tbl_Person AS p
WHERE (p.Phone LIKE '%[' +
@IncludeNumbers + ']%')
END
(ive removed some unecessary bits but
this shows the basics)
As you can see currently it will return any phone numbers which contain any numbers given in the includeNumbers string, I would only like it to return phone numbers which contain all the numbers given in the includeNumbers string. is there any way to make it search for strings
which include 'all' numbers given?
Does anyone know if SSRS2008 includes KPI's such that you can include them while working in Visual Studios? I've seen some "work arounds" posted but if 2008 includes them I'll just load that up and see.
i am having a problem querying a field in a database to show all records where the title has a keyword within the title. Select * FROM tblCourse WHERE title =@Search But not the full title just a keyword within the field? Thanks
The following query is failing when trying to apply the MAX(field_x_order) to the variable @max Note the x is represented by the string variable @stri
declare @i int declare @stri varchar(10) declare @max int set @i = 18 set @max = 0 while @i < 49 begin set @i = @i + 1 set @stri = cast(@i as varchar(10)) select @max = MAX(field_ + @stri + _ORDER) FROM table_name WHERE field_ + @stri + IS NOT NULL -- error: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IS'. exec ('UPDATE display_1a SET field_' + @stri + '_order = field_' + @stri + '_order ' + @max + 'WHERE field_' + @stri + ' IS NULL') end
I have also tried: select MAX(field_ + @stri + _ORDER) INTO @max = FROM display_1a WHERE field_ + @stri + IS NOT NULL -- error: Incorrect syntax near '@max'.
and: select @max = ('SELECT MAX(field_' + @stri + '_ORDER) FROM display_1a WHERE field_' + @stri + ' IS NOT NULL') -- error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT MAX(field_19_ORDER) FROM display_1a WHERE field_19 IS NOT NULL' to data type int.
i am trying to create a view but i keep getting the error 'View definition includes no output columns or no items in the FROM clause.'
below is the select statement that's the basis of my view. the explanation i got from the F1 help of enterprise manager was ... View definition includes no output columns or no items in the FROM clause. A view definition must have at least one table or table-structured object in the FROM clause, and must have at least one column in the select list. The view definition is missing one or both. Modify the view definition accordingly.

select Case_CaseId, Logged, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Waiting)/60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Waiting, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Investigating) /60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Investigating, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Rejected) /60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Rejected, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Resolved) /60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Resolved, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Solved) /60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Solved, CAST(DATEDIFF(minute, Logged, Closed) /60.0 AS NUMERIC(9, 2)) AS Closed from (

I am wondering if some of you T-SQL pros encountered a situation when you have a parameter that can consist of multiple strings. For instance, I have a stored procedure called dbo.usp_CalculateHeadcount that accepts two parameters such as @Term, and @AcadLevel.
It works great when my parameters are two single strings; 'Fall2007', 'UG'. But let say I have one more term such as 'Fall2006' and want to pass it to a stored procedure, the problems start to appear.
It doesn't work because I have added an extra string and stored procedure thinks it is another parameter. Is there a way to handle problems like the one above?
Hi, not too swift with anything other than simple SQL statements, soI'm looking for some help.Using SQL Server 2000 with this stored proc:(@varCust varchar(50))ASSET NOCOUNT ONSELECT d.WorkOrder, d.Customer, d.SerialNo, d.Assy, d.Station,d.WIdoc,d.Start, d.StartUser, d.Finish, d.FinishUserFROM tblWorkOrder w, tblDocs dWHERE w.WorkOrder IS NULL AND w.WorkOrder = d.WorkOrder ANDd.Customer = @varCustGOI'm trying to get a complete dataset so I can simply apply it as thedatasource to a datagrid in asp.net. I need to include a 'TimeSpan'column that is the difference between d.Start and d.Finish. I alsoneed it to present in hh:mm:ss format in the datagrid column. (A) isit possible to do this within the stored proc, and (B) how would "I"do that?Thanks!Kathy
I'm working on a stored procedure that works fine. I just want to make it possible for the user to be able to have a drop down list in reporting services to display the "question codes" grouped by whatever the first two digits are. for example.
VT01 VT02 VT03 VN01 VN02 VN03 ST01 ST02 ST03
instead of listing everything, i want the viewers to see this VT VN ST or an alias for each of these like this:
Vet Tasks Vet National Survey Tasks Survey National
any ideas, here's my current code, which is pullin up anything with the added substring part
Code Snippet ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Testing_Questions] (@Region_Key int=null,@QuestionCode char(5)) AS BEGIN

Can I specify a collate value for a column in a table that includes all the possible languages in the world or atleast Latin 1 and Eastern European languages.
My DB Collation is set to Latin 1 and the columns in the tables are all nvarchar or ntext, but certain hungarian characters are not displayed correctly.
What do all these collation codes represent:
SQL_EBCDIC037_CP1_CS_AS
211
SQL_EBCDIC273_CP1_CS_AS
212
SQL_EBCDIC277_CP1_CS_AS
213
SQL_EBCDIC278_CP1_CS_AS
214
SQL_EBCDIC280_CP1_CS_AS
215
SQL_EBCDIC284_CP1_CS_AS
216
SQL_EBCDIC285_CP1_CS_AS
217
SQL_EBCDIC297_CP1_CS_AS
They seem generic. Is there one collation that includes all the Eastern Europen Languages and Latin 1 charset. Please let me know.
I'm writing to ask if anyone knows whether or not MS SQL server stores in any system tables the association between a database and the drive letter/directory path where its corresponding MDF/LDF files are located.
I have a test server that needs the drive letters changed for the data, log and backup drives. Is there a way to make this change without reinstalling SQL Server?
I would like to design a 'mail merge' type of letter, whereby some of the paragraphs will be conditional on parameters. Can anyone direct me to example of mail merger letters using reporting services?
Hi. I'm looking for tutorials on how to use SSRS 2005 to generate letters in Word or PDF format from a database. We need to send letters with our company logo and some boilerplate text to a set of companies based on a SQL Server query. So the letter will look something like this, with the red areas repeating from the dataset,
[logo goes here]
123 Any St. AnyCity, CA 90210
[today's date]
Dear [name from database],
Some boilerplate text goes here. Your Account [account number from database] is past due.
I am trying to write a report that includes different lab values for an account number depending on the test. What I mean is if patient xyz had lab work and procedure number 1012 was ordered I need to include one line for the highest result value and one for the lowest result value. If I have procedure number 1032 I only need a line for the lowest value. I have a list of about 40 lab procedures that some require both highest and lowest, some just the lowest and some the highest. I have played around with CASE, but that hasn't worked for me.
In our Microsoft Dynamics Nav instance we have a Sales Header Archive table - into which copies of the Sales Header are placed, with 3 items forming the compound key:
Document Number Version Occurrence number
so if doc 1 is archived, then the records would be
Doc# | Version | Occurrence # 1 | 1 | 1
When a second copy is archived a new record is added:
Doc# | Version | Occurrence # 1 | 1 | 1 1 | 1 | 2
and then when maybe a 3rd version is archived a 3rd entry added
This is for EACH document and I now need to retrieve the dataset which is the latest version of each document... but I'm drawing a blank!
If I
select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#]
then I get the distinct list of docs, but I now need to use this list to select the records which match this criteria, from this table.
How do I select just these?
I thought (wrongly) that I could simply say:
Select * from Invoice Table where Invoice.[Doc#], Invoice.[V], Invoice.[Occurrence #] in (select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#])
SO I have a need to to limit the members of a dimension that get included with a query to just a few. So that means specifying which ones. How do I limit the main set based on a defined list of members in one of the dimensions im using.
In the query below, I need to limit the number of dimension members being included for CommType and MetricType. I get errors if I use a list of specific members in a where clause that includes these same dimensions.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[YTD Actual] AS SUM({[DimCalendar].[Month Year].&[2015]&[1] : STRTOMEMBER('[DimCalendar].[Month Year].&[' + CSTR(YEAR(NOW())) + ']&[5]') } , [Measures].[Actual]
I have a table in an Access db that stores information about speech files. One of the fields in this table is called "Text" and it contains the phrase spoken in that particular speechfile.
These phrases often have characters such as the "#" sign at the end to indicate what tone of voice is used.
I am trying to create a Search where users can enter the phrase they are looking for, and will be returned the file (or combination of files) that contain this phrase.
My problem is, when I try to search for a string of text that includes the "#" I get 0 results everytime.
An example of what I am doing is this:
SELECT Speechfiles.Name FROM Speechfiles WHERE Speechfiles.Text LIKE 'aero#'
It works fine for 'aero' or '*aero*' but whenever I try to add a character that is not a letter, it won't work.
If anyone has any ideas, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! I am completely at a loss.
Ho can I convert first letters of a string to Upper Case (i.e. UNITED KINGDOM - Untited Kingdom). I have country names table which has all entries in uper case. This makes a select box very larg and unproportional. Thanks in advance for the help.
Can you restore the master database, running on windows server 2000, sqlserver 2000 from a backup that was taken from c: to another serverrestoring to d:?*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I have a field (varchar) in a list that contains numbers and letters. I want to sort this table but I have only two functions that will work to convert the values:
Val The Val function sorts the numbers in the string, but the letters are not sorted
CStr The CStr function sorts the letters, but the numbers are not sorted
First I'm a big NEWBIE, so it'd be great if you can provide a little explanation as to how this should be done...
Here's what I want to do, but have no idea how to approach it.
I have a table with Quotes (table Quote) in them (for a Sale's Team). Each has a quote number (qtQN) and this number is sequencial but sometimes revised where a letter is added at the end. Like so:
The first 3 digit are company codes and pretty unimportant to this problem. As you can see, 111q0002 has three versions. A, B, and no letter. The most up to date is B. So in this list I want to list only the most up to date quotes. So the resulting list would be:
111q0001 111q0002B 222q0005
Get it? Good, cuz I have no idea how to query that... any help at all is appreciated!
I'm using MS SQL Server 2k and scripting with ASP 3.0
As part of a migration of data to a new SAN I have hit a bit of a snag in the migration. In summary what will happen is user database data files will be moved from one LUN (say drive F:) to a new LUN (say drive G:). Once all the data is migrated, plan is to remove dependency of that drive from SQL server and remove the drive and delete the LUN. So far, so good.
However one of the LUNs (drive D:) destined to be deleted also hosts the instance default directories, i.e. everything under MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER (Data, Backups, FTData, JOBS, etc). BOL has articles on how to migrate system databases, including tempdb. But there is no guidance that I could find on how to relocate other folders. There are forums where users have listed registry changes, etc that can achieve this but these are steps I am unwilling to take on a production server.
So my plan is: 1) Add new drive to cluster (drive E:), sufficiently large enough to host instance default folders 2) Shutdown SQL server 3) Copy all default folders to new drive 4) Swap drive letters so that new drive is now D: 5) Start SQL server and if everything works, delete the original drive (which is now drive E:).
i have string where i need to convert them into Capital text in required string only
i have written query to do this using Charindex it is finding only one how to go for 2nd one i am only finding the 2 nd word through index how to find other words also
Yeah, it's pretty simple. Maybe it'll help someone out.
