TSQL - Use ORDER BY Statement Without Insertin The Field Name Into The SELECT Statement

Oct 29, 2007

Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):



Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01

The results are just as I need:


Field01 Field02

------------- ----------------------

192473 8461760

192474 22810



Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:



Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
INTO AuxiliaryTable
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:

Field02

----------------------

22810
8461760

And what I need is (without showing any other field):

Field02

----------------------

8461760
22810


Is there any good suggestion?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Aldo.

Tsql Case Statement

Sep 12, 2007

Hi,
Here is the scenario. I want to add last year sale dollars in accordance with current period in exsiting fact table.
And below is the syntax.

Syntax:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
select
a. store_key,
a.fisc_date_key,
sum(a.net_sale_Dollars) as sale_TY ,
sum ( b.net_sale_dollars ) as sale_LY ,
a.division_name,
a.department_number

fromFact 1 as a

,Fact 1 as b

Whereb.fisc_date_key = (a.fisc_date_key -364)
and a.division_name=b.division_name
and a.department_number =b.department_number
and a.store_key = b.store_key

group by
a.division_name,
a.department_number,
a.fisc_date_key,
a.store_key

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The current table from this query is showing like:

store_key date_key sale_TY sales_LY div dept
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 30 20 ABC 1
2 1 20 20 ABC 3

But, if we assume that in the current date, dept = 2 has a sale amount, and in parallel year if dept=2 does not have any sale then this information was excluded.

The structure of table that I want to create must look like:


store_key date_key sale_TY sales_LY div dept
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 30 20 ABC 1
2 1 20 20 ABC 3
2 1 15 0 ABC 2

>>>> want to put 0 value where only one side ( current or parrallel period) has sales info.

So, I'm thinking the case statement like:


Case statement logic like:
------------------------------------------------------------
if a. dept not exist in b.dept
then Sale TY -> a.net_sale_dollars
Sale LY -> 0

if b.dept not exist in a.dept
then sale TY -> 0
sale LY -> b. net_sale_dollars
-------------------------------------------------------------

below is the syntax which doesn't work (it's wrong):

Syntax:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

select
a. store_key,
a.fisc_date_key,
sum(case when a.department_number = b.department_number then a.net_sale_dollars
else case when a.department_number NOT IN (b.department_number)then a.net_sale_dollars else null end)
as sale_TY ,
sum ( case when b.department_number =a.department_number then b.net_sale_dollars

else case when a.department_number NOT IN (b.department_number) as sale_LY,
a.division_name,
a.department_number

fromFact 1 as a

Fact 1 as b

Whereb.fisc_date_key = (a.fisc_date_key -364)
and a.division_name=b.division_name
and a.department_number =b.department_number
and a.store_key = b.store_key

group by
a.division_name,
a.department_number,
a.fisc_date_key,
a.store_key

,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Is it possible to create these kind of structure?
Please give me some comments.
Thanks.

What Is Wrong With This TSQL Statement

Mar 3, 2008



hello,

I have wriiten this query to select all records from those tables in a database that have "to_be_transffered" column where this "to_be_transferred_column" is not null


--code


EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'IF EXISTS(SELECT c.table_name, c.column_name

FROM information_schema.columns c

INNER JOIN information_schema.tables t

ON c.table_name = t.table_name

WHERE c.table_name = SUBSTRING(''?'', (CHARINDEX(''['',''?'', 2) + 1),

((LEN(''?'') - (CHARINDEX(''['',''?'', 2) + 1))))

AND c.column_name = ''to_be_transferred''

AND t.table_type = ''BASE TABLE''

)

BEGIN



SELECT * FROM ?

WHERE to_be_transferred IS NOT NULL

END'



But I am getting the following error


Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 12

Invalid column name 'to_be_transferred'

I thought the if statement filters all those tables with the specified column and do select statement fot those tables only

what did I do wrong, any suggestionm?

Thanks

Make A Backup With T-sql

Hello!

I would like to backup a database through t-sql into a file.

I do this :

EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'mydb','c:mydb.bak'

it tells "Command(s) completed successfully."
but I can not find the file c:mydb.bak ...

but if I do it again I get :

"Msg 15026, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addumpdevice, Line 74

:-(

Any idea? I simply want to get a .bak file of the db, that's all.
