I have a table and want to filter on 2 columns: (table indexed on c2 and c3)
---------------------------------------------
c1 c2 c3
aaa 1 1/2/2013
bbb 1 2/2/2013
ccc 1 3/2/2013
ddd 2 1/2/2013
--------------------------------------
select * from x where c2=1 and c3=1/2/2013 order by c3 - does not work.
Where clause is wrong, or need special indexes??
Hi Folks,
Is there any way to add a derived column into the where clause.
Example:
Select Name, Date, Procedure#,
(Case When Procedure# in ('1','2','3') then 'Y' else 'N') AS Class
From Procs
Where Class = 'Y'
Thanks,
Ray
Bottom line question:
Does it make a difference which table is referenced first following the ON keyword in a FROM clause when creating a join?
--Example 1:
SELECT * FROM TABLE01 t1, JOIN TABLE02 t2
ON t1.ID = t2.ID
--Example 2:
SELECT * FROM TABLE01 t1, JOIN TABLE02 t2
ON t2.ID = t1.ID
Does the sequencing of the tables after the ON keyword make a difference?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am writing a fairly simple sql, and I would like to write something like
Code Snippet
select
firstname as firstname,
case
when firstname = 'Peter' then 'yes'
else
'no'
end as whatever
from
MyTable
where
whatever = 'yes'
And this should then select out the rows where column number 2 is 'yes'.
It doesn't work, and I have to copy the firstname = 'Peter' into the where clause.
But why?
Right now I have to do something like this and it is time consuming every time I have to query a specific table...
SELECT lots_of_columns
FROM table
WHERE (column5 = '1' OR column6 = '1' OR column7 = '1' OR column8 = '1' OR column9 = '1' OR column10 = '1' OR column11 = '1' OR column12 = '1')
AND other_query_critiera_here
Typing out the OR statement gets long, time consuming and prone to errors because that first where line with all the ORs can sometimes have 20+ ORs in it. As some insight, the columns are text columns, sometimes they have data, sometimes they are NULL. Sometimes they have the same data (i.e., column5 and column6 and column12 could both have '1' as values).
I have a table which has two column like following table and I don't know how can I update theses two column with identity numbers but just the fields which are equal 111.
my example table:
numez numhx
111 111
111 111
0 111
111 0
111 0
and my results should be:
numez numhx
1 2
3 4
0 5
6 0
7 0
The first select is running fine but due to extra values added to the table the list of manual difined columns must be added manualy each time new values occur.
Is it possible to make the PIVOT's IN clause dynamicly as stated in the second script (it is based on the same table #source) when running it prompts the next error;
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 315
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 315
Incorrect syntax near ')'.
adding or moving ')' or '(' are not working.......
select *
into #temp
from #source
pivot ( avg(value) for drive in ([C], [D], [E], [F], [G], [H], [T], [U], [V] )) as value
select * from #temp order by .........
versus
select *
into #temp
from #source
pivot ( avg(value) for drive in (select distinct(column) from #source)) as value
select * from #temp order by .....
I have an SP which concatenates 2 columns in a where clause - ie WHERE [Column1] + [Column2] = @var. This, as far as I'm aware, is not going to access any seek on an index on a table.
My task is to create an index on this table and get the SP to access said index.
Aside from combining the two columns into one column on the table, how I can get an SP to access the newly created index when queried by the SP?
One thought of mine is to firstly index Column1 and allow the SP to access this index by inserting the rows into a temp table. Then a search on the temp table to retrieve the records on a search on Column2.
Hi,
I would like to know how i can handle multiple columns returned by a subquery via IN clause in case of sql server 2005. I can do that in oracle by using the following statement:
DELETE FROM TEST1
WHERE (ID, ID1) NOT IN (SELECT ID,ID1 FROM TEST2);
Thanks and Regards

I am trying to update a table and then also use OUTPUT clause to capture some of the columns. The code that I am using is something like the one below
UPDATE s
SET Exception_Ind = 1
OUTPUT s.Master_Id, s.TCK_NR
INTO #temp2
FROM Master_Summary s
INNER JOIN Exception d
ON d.Id = LEFT(s.Id, 8)
AND d.Barcode_Num = s.TCK_NR
WHERE s.Exception_Ind IS NULL
The above code is throwing an error as follows:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Process_Step3, Line 113
The multi-part identifier "s.Master_Id" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Process_Step3, Line 113
The multi-part identifier "s.TCK_NR" could not be bound.
Usually it is better to include the columns in the index that are in where clause, select list and join.I am thinking that the columns in the selected list is better to keep as index columns and the columns that are in the where clause is better to keep in key columns.Where do we use join column is it better to create as main key column or included column.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn SQL 2012.A query that joins 2 table, with order by clause doesn't get sorted and the result set is not ordered. This happens when some of the columns in the where criteria are in a unique index which is the index that is used for the join between the 2 tables, and all the columns in the unique index are in the where criteria.In the query plan there is no component for sort.The work around was to drop the unique index, or change it to a non-unique index. Once this was done, the execution plan was changed to add the sort component (even when the index was changed to non-unique and the join was still using this index).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.
When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID

WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN

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

GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1
)
2 examples:
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

Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

Hi,
What is HAVING clause equivalent in the following oracle query, without the combination of "GROUP BY" clause ?
eg :
SELECT SUM(col1) from test HAVING col2 < 5
SELECT SUM(col1) from test WHERE x=y AND HAVING col2 < 5
I want the equivalent query in MSSQLServer for the above Oracle query.
Also, does the aggregate function in Select column(here the SUM(col1)) affect in anyway the presence of HAVING clause?.
Thanks,
Gopi.

hi..
i have basic question like
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)
)
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.ImplicitID = d1.ImplicitIDAND 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 ?

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1](
[TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...
Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.
I have query which retrieves multiple column vary from 5 to 15 based on input parameter passed.I am using table to map all this column.If column is not retrieved in the dataset(I am not talking abt Null data but column is completely missing) then I want to hide it in my report.
Can I do that??
Any reply showing me the right way is appricited.
-Thanks,

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
As I am creating the non-clustered indexes for the tables, I dont quite understand how dose it really matter to put the columns in the index key columns or put them into the included columns of the index?
I am really confused about that and I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much again for your advices and help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):
Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.
This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.
Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.
Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.
Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS
Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
