Case Statement In Sqlserver
Jun 5, 2008select id,qty into #lastyrend from table where dt='12/31/2007'--last yr end
select id, qty into #lastmonthend from table where dt='05/31/2008' --last month end
select id, qty into #lastqtrend from table where dt='03/31/2008'--last qtr end
select id,qty into #lastweeked from table where dt='05/27/2008'
select id,#lastyrend .qty,
case when #lastmonthend.qty is null then #lastyrend .qty as lastmonthend
case when #lastmonthend.qty is null then #lastyrend .qty
when #lastqtrend .qty is null then #lastmonthend.qty .qty else #lastqtrend .qty as lastqtr
case when #lastmonthend.qty is null then #lastyrend .qty
when #lastqtrend .qty is null then #lastmonthend.qty
when #lastweeked .qty is null then #lastqtrend .qty else #lastweeked .qty as lastweekend.
from table
left join table.id=#lastyrend .id
left join table.id=#lastmonthend.id
left join table.id=#lastqtrend.id
left join table.id=#lastweeked.id
IN my query I am taking values from a table for different date series.
logic is if there is no value for a particular date then take the previous date value.
Problem
--------------
in my query #lastqtrend .qty is null but #lastweeked .qty has the value.
as per my third case statement I expected I will take the #lastweeked .qty
but since #lastqtrend .qty is null it shows the value of #lastmonthend.qty
I think here after the
case when #lastmonthend.qty is null then #lastyrend .qty
when #lastqtrend .qty is null then #lastmonthend.qty ---- after executing this line below line is not executing
when #lastweeked .qty is null then #lastqtrend .qty else
Can somebody help me how to execute this.
DECODE In MS SQL
Jan 12, 2004In Oracle we have expression
SELECT
.....
DECODE (T.LANGUAGE, 'E', T.DESC_ENG, T.DESC)
FROM
TABLE T
if acts like that :
if T.LANGUAGE = 'E' it returns T.DESC_ENG. If it is different - T.DESC.
Is there some way to make the same in MS SQL Server ?

Aug 1, 2006Dear All,
I have this VB application calling MSSQL through the ODBC connection. It was running fine in Win 2K, but there is following error in Win XP Prof:
[microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The statement has been terminated.
I notice the version of ODBC MSSQL driver in Win 2K is 2000.81.8053.00, while in Win XP is 2000.85.1117.00. Could it be the cause of the issue? How to resolve it? Can I replace the SQLSRV32.dll in the WINDOWSsystem32 folder directly?
Thanks for any hint!

Decode Function
Aug 28, 2001HI,
Is there any way to replicate the decode function in SQL Server 7.0? I have a problem where I have to write a query such that if the value in a column is '0' , I need to output it as 'No' and if it is '1', I need to output it as 'Yes'. An example of my problem is as follows:
select col_1+","+(value 'No' if col_2='0' and 'Yes' if col_2='1')+
","+col_3+...........
I appreciate your help in advance.

Case? Decode?
Jun 8, 2008Hello,
I need to do the following:
Lets say we have the following table.
A B C
1 XYZ XYZ
100
Now if the value of a is "100" then i need to do a join and get a value from another table, else I put the value of b a "test"
I am trying to do this using case
like this
select case
(when a = 100 then (select col from ....where newtable.id = a.id
else "test"
end) as xyz
from a,b,other tables.
But the problem is that the subquery returns more than one row..(it should return one row)
How do I do this?
Alternate To Decode
Sep 30, 2006hi i have a view in oracle. in that i am using decode function.
same query i want to write it in sqlserver. what it is the alternate
to decode.
this is a cross tab query
SELECT code, SUM(DECODE(field1, 4, Present_Value, 0)) AS c1, SUM(DECODE(field1, 5, Present_Value, 0)) AS c2,
SUM(DECODE(field1, 6, Present_Value, 0)) AS c3,SUM(DECODE(field1, 9, Present_Value, 0)) AS c4
FROM (SELECT field1,Code, Present_Value FROM table1) DERIVEDTBL GROUP BY code

GROUP BY On DECODE
May 14, 2007Hi,I have two questions, firstly..
I am hoping there is a way to GROUP BY on a concatenated output like the following decode etc..
SELECT
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'','Reasons not entered',PRIM_REASN)
|| ' '
||SECDY_REASN
|| ' '
|| TERT_REASN) Downtime_Reasons,
EVENT_DUR/60 Minutes
FROM
DOWNTIME_WEB
WHERE
DOWNTIME_WEB.TIMESTAMP>= (SELECT PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME
FROM PRODN_SHIFT
WHERE
PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME <=sysdate
AND PRODN_SHIFT.END_DATIME > sysdate)
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.STATUS_TEXT) = 'STOPPED'
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.WORK_CTR_NAME) = 'PACK2'
ORDER BY DOWNTIME_WEB.EVENT_DUR
I have tried to put the DECODE etc into the GROUP BY statement but I get an error - " not a valid GROUP BY clause"
Secondly, is there a way of modifying value in field A based on the value in field B
Erroneous example follows - in an effort to explain what I want to do (from above):
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'',(DECODE(EVENT_DUR,<200,"Low",>200,"High"),PRIM_REASN)
ie:If PRIM_REASN is null I want EVENT_DUR to be tested to determine the new value for PRIM_REASN.
Except that tthe above won't work and I don't know what the right function/argument should be..
This is my first foray into SQL server, I am trying to migrate some access queries to work with web services and hence Xcelsius.
Cheers.

How To Translate Oracle Decode
Aug 2, 2006Hi,
How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????
cheers,

Class Method Is Smoking Fast When Executed Outside Of SQLServer, Dog Slow As A CLR Function Is SQLServer - Anyone?
May 10, 2007We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?

Skipper.
Problem Unicode Data 0x2300 In SQLServer 2000 SQLServer 2005 Express
Sep 20, 2006Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
Trying To 'load' A Copy Of A SQLServer 2000 Database To SQLServer 2005 Express
Apr 18, 2008
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedReplacing Sqlserver 2000 With Sqlserver 2005 Express
Jun 14, 2006I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in

and

SQLSERVER 2005 X64 Linked Server To SQLSERVER 7.0
Jun 20, 2007Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Multiple Tables Used In Select Statement Makes My Update Statement Not Work?
Aug 29, 2006I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
