Hi!
Want 2 store Multiple room numbers of a hotel in a single column using SQL Server2k.
Can anybody tell me how to do it??
Thanx.
was hoping someone couild provide some insight into a problem I'm trying to solve.
I have a table called SEARCHCRITERIA. It consists of a USERID column and a CRITERIA column. Users will be able to search for other users based on a set of criteria. There are 5 total criteria a user can choose. They can choose as few as none or all five. I'd like to store the criteria chosen as a single number in the SEARCHCRITERIA table. Then use a function to parse out the criteria. For example:
CRITERIAID CRITERIA CRITERIAVALUE
1 AGE 2
2 SEX 4
3 GRADE 8
4 LOCALE 16
5 REGION 32
A user performs a search based on AGE, SEX, and LOCALE. I would then store the value 22 (the sum of 2, 4, and 16) in the SEARCH table. I would then need a function to pull out the three individual values.
Has anyone done anything like this before?
If so, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is
col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
i need to select from a table transact where one of the coulmn values has to be equal to (1and 2 and 3).
e.g: column in (1,2,3) would give me what "OR" would do,
how does one specify multiple values for a single column in a where clause?
example:
SELECT fname, lname
FROM tblContacts
WHERE (state = 'MI','CA','AZ','TN','NJ')
if my memory serves me there is an IN() value list operator but I can't remember the syntax :confused:
It is possible to alter multiple columns within a single alter table statement?
I have got the following URL that tells it is not possible to alter multiple columns within in signle alert table statement.

Does anyone know about that?

I have FirstName,LastName columns in the database.I need to return FirstName,LastName as Name to client(as a single column).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI joined these two tables and it pulled up the proper amount of records. If you check out the image you will see what the results are for this query.
Now all I need for this part would be to roll these up where I have one row per ProgramID and all the AttributeNames' together in a AttributeNames column for each id.
EXAMPLE: All in one row.
ProgramID | AttributeNames
887 | Studydesign, Control Groups, Primary Outcomes.
I have attached an image of the SQL VIEW that I need to modified so it does this.
THE QUERY:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.tblProgramAttributes.ProgramID, dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID AS PAattributeID, dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeID,
dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeName
FROM dbo.tblProgramAttributes INNER JOIN
dbo.tblAttributes ON dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID = dbo.tblAttributes.AttributeID
WHERE (dbo.tblProgramAttributes.AttributeID NOT LIKE '%ProgramType%')
ORDER BY dbo.tblProgramAttributes.ProgramID DESC
Scenario is like that single dept can have multiple LocationHeads, If Location heads are multiple then they should display in single column using *starting the name as mentioned bottom under required output.
Below is sample of data:
create table #Temp(depID int, Name varchar(50),LocationHead varchar(50))
insert into #temp values(1,'test','head1')
insert into #temp values(1,'test','head2')
insert into #temp values(1,'test','head3')
insert into #temp values(2,'test1','head1')
insert into #temp values(2,'test1','head2')
Required output
depID Name LocationHead
1test *head1,*head2,*head3
2test1 *head1,*head2
Suppose that I have a table with following values
Table1
Col1 Col2 Col3
-----------------------------------------------------------
P3456 C935876 T675
P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is:
CombinedValues(ColumnName)
----------------------------------------------
P3456 - C935876 - T675
P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-'
So is there any way to achieve this?
I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.
Example:
Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"
I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.
I am expecting the following results:
Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<
I am looking a script which allow me add single coilumn to multiple table of my database.

Alter table EMP
Add Rowchecksum varbinary(8000)
I have a description field in a table which also stores unit of measure in the same column but with some space between them, I need to split these into two different columns.
For Eg:

BDV KV
DENSITY KG/L
I hope i'm in the right place, but thanks anyway....
Actually i have 2 questions (regarding sql-server Indices/Keys):
1) I have an index, which is consisted of 4 columns.
I've read elsewhere that this index functions (as well) as an index (single column
index) on the first column of this multi-column index.
Does this mean that if i'd like to have (in addition) Indices on all of the 4 columns
seperately i need to define only 3???
2) I have a unique key consisted of multiple columns.
I'd like to save an index to this combination of columns as well (to speed up
things in DB...).
Does the definition of a multiple-columns key free me from defining the multiple-
columns index???
can anyone explain the main diference between Keys and Indices???

Deciding whether or not to use a CTE or this simple faster approach utilizing system tables, hijacking them.
SELECT s.ORDER_NUMBER, s.PRODUCT_ID, 1 AS QTY, s.VALUE/s.QTY AS VALUE
FROM @SPLITROW s
INNER JOIN master.dbo.spt_values t ON t.type='P'
AND t.number BETWEEN 1 AND s.QTY
Just wanted to know if its okay to use system tables in a production environment and if there are any pit falls of using them ?
I'm working on a script to merge multiple columns(30) into a single column separated by a semicolons, but I'm getting the following error below. I tried to convert to the correct value. but I'm still getting an error.
Error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ';' to data type tinyint".
select
t1.Code1TypeId + ';' +
t1.Code2TypeId + ';' +
t1.Code3TypeId + ';' +
t1.Code4TypeId as CodeCombined
from Sampling.dbo.account_test t1
where t1.Code1TypeId = 20
or t1.Code2TypeId = 20
or t1.Code3TypeId = 20
or t1.Code4TypeId = 20
How does one pass into a Stored Procedure an array of numbers to be used in an IN clause? If I pass "1,2" in a VARCHAR, the stored procedure sees only the first number (1 in this case).
I'm using VB and ADO.NET, but I don't know how to set up the stored procedure for an array. Is there a parsing function to do this?
CREATE PROCEDURE TestInClause( @TeamList VARCHAR)ASSELECT Name FROM Teams WHERE TeamID IN (@TeamList); /* sees only 1st number */GO
I'm wondering which way is the best way to store your numeric values.
It probably doesnt matter, b/c you can always convert back and forth...but i'm just wondering what the best practice is i guess...
thx

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to develop a website with a database of hotels from 5 diferent countries. I want the user to be able to write into text fields or select from bullets or any other better select option , the following information:
destination country
destination city
rooms
date of staying (because rates changes depending on the season)
once with the information, the site will display a list of hotel options from the countrie's city selected with pricing info
Here is a sample of what would appear:
cancun/Mexico--------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
(hotel) SGL / DBL / TPL / CHI.
-Miramar Mision $315 / $221 / $198 / $150
(apr. 12-jul.13/aug 26 - dec 26)
extra nights $100 / $69 / $62 / $32
----------------------------------------------------------
Im not planning to use online payment, or online ordering, I just want the info like the one above from all the hotels option, then if you are interested in a hotel you send an email to the company with credit card info and desire hotel and dates, so the web page would be just for information purposes. if you think about it it shouldnt be that hard, (or at least thats what I think because it doesnt have a lot of interactivity
I would like to make the website so that my client could easily make changes to the hotel prices or names in the future.
Now to the questions:
I have been told to use Mysql and php (I do know html, and ive done webpages in the past) so i started to learn sql, i think its pretty clear and logic how it works, also I was told to download apache, which if im not wrong installs php and mysql and configure the server in your computer? am I right?
I have been trying to find a book for php, but I dont know exactly which one to get, so:
1. can you recomend a specific book on php wich covers something like this?
2. By learning sql, I should have no problems applying my knowledge to mysql? ( i know that some functions are different)
3. How does php manipulates mysql?
4. Does apache installs php and mysql and configure my computer to be a server or i have to download php and mysql separetely?
5. if apache does all that, where do i start developing? where do I write the php code so it displays in apache?
6. where do I write the mysql tables and code?
7. For a website to contain mysql and php do you need a special hosting service? what do I have to consider when looking for the hosting provider, are they expensive?
I dont expect all my questions to be ansered, I would be gratefull if only one would be answer, I know it sounds as if I want everything solved, but trust me, that ive been trying to learn as much as i can. The reason I am posting this is because i have 4 more days to decide if I accept the job or not, so I want to be sure that I am going to be able to do this. then I will have 6 months to finish the website, I am a student and I need money to pay my school, Thank you in advance and if someone is still reading THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!!!!!!
ps, I was even planning to give money for the person who helps the most....has this been done before? jejej
Hi
Can anyone out there help me? I am developing a hotel management system. I am trying to come up with a way of identifying all the residents with outstanding payments.
In order to do this I have designed a session table where the session for each guest are staored. Each of the sessions has a session balance, and when a guest make a payment, this balance is then incremented.
For every day that passes I would like to subtract the hotels rent from the session balance automatically. Is this feasible, and how can this be done.
I would be very greatful to anyone who would be able to help me or give me advice, coz at the moment I am clueless.

We are developing a new online booking system with asp.net and looking for optiosn for the data store. Currently the PHP applciation utlizes MySQL but we would like to use SQL Server in the rewrite.
What limitations would we run into with Express over Standard for such a system? Is the 4GB size limit and advanced SQl features such as replication, etc the only differences? We are looking for something to run on a dedicated or VPS based Windows server that will only be running our app and database. System is an online hotel type booking system with approx 7000-12000 transactions per month which may double in the coming year.
Express certainly has a cost advantage but we don't want to run into issues with this version if there are any we should watch out for.
Here is some data that will explain what I want to do:
Input Data:
Part ColorCode
A100 123
A100 456
A100 789
B100 456
