Sorry for asking stupid questions...
I can't remember which settings in MS SQL define the behaviour of this comparison:
select * from table where 'Anna ' = 'Anna'
to be TRUE. Both strings are different because the first contains trailing blanks.
How to change it to return FALSE what is my expected value?
I have this OR in a simple query:
Code:
DECLARE @searchString nvarchar(100)
SET @searchString = 'sample'
SELECT TOP(1) * FROM user
WHERE (user.identity LIKE @searchString OR
CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ' + user.lastname) > 0)
PS: Handwritten...
If I pass in a searchString that matches the Identity and a different users lastname, this query will return the user with the lastname-match (which is wrong in my eyes, it should have matched the Identity first, then returned that row [Identity is a Primary key, indexed non-clustered]).
I've tried various things:
Removing LastName: (CHARINDEX(@searchString, user.firstname + ' ') > 0), then the returned row is from a matching identity, due to the lastname of a user was a match, but lastname was removed...so :P
Flipping the conditions around
Adding/removing paranthesis... without any luck.
Is there some option somewhere, to force the OR statement to return on the first true condition. I've always thought OR-statements (in a computer that is) breaked and returned true on the first true condition it found (from left to right, not bother to check the rest of the conditions...)?Or do I have to rewrite the query, with an IF, checking if the @searchString is a valid identity-format, if it is, query on the identity, if not query on the username...?

Hi,
I have DB monitoring jobs which use Sysperfinfo to monitor some of the counters. On One SQL 2K Server since few days the select on sysperfinfo returns 0.
Do you think I need to start any service from the OS side to enable this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
The test.sql scripts I write to test CLR stored procedures run successfully, but when I want to display the resulting data in the database with a simple "SELECT * from Employee"
I get the result as:
Name Address
---- -------
No rows affected.
(1 row(s) returned)
But not the actual row is displayed whereas I would expect to see something like:
Name Address
---- -------
John Doe
No rows affected.
(1 row(s) returned)
I have another database project where doing the same thing displays the row information but there doesn't seem to be a lot different between the two.
Why no results in first case?

If I run this statement in Query Analyzer, it properly returns 1for my testing table. But if I put the statement into a storedprocedure, the stored procedure returns NULL. What am I doingwrong? I suspect it may be related to how I defined the parametersfor the stored procedure. Perhaps my definition of TableName andColumnName don't match what COLUMNPROPERTY and OBJECT_ID expect toreceive, but I don't know where to look for the function declarationsfor those. Any pointers would be appreciated.Select statement:SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Table1'), 'TestID', 'IsIdentity') ASIsIdentityTable definition:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([TestID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Stored Procedure definition:CREATE PROCEDURE spTest(@TableName varchar,@ColumnName varchar)AS SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @ColumnName,'IsIdentity') AS IsIdentity

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello:
I need assistance writing a SELECT statement. I need data from a table that matches one (or more) of multiple criteria, and I need to know which of those criteria it matched. For instance, looking at the Orders table in the Northwind database, I might want all the rows with an OrderDate after Jan 1, 1997 and all the rows with a ShippedDate after June 1, 1997. Depending on which of those criteria the row matches, it should include a field stating whether it is in the result set because of its OrderDate, or its ShippedDate. One way of doing this that I've already tried is:
SELECT 'OrderDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE OrderDate > '1-1-1997'UNIONSELECT 'ShippedDate' AS [ChosenReason], Orders.*FROM OrdersWHERE ShippedDate > '6-1-1997'
In my application, scanning a table with thousands of records for five sets of criteria takes a few seconds to run, which is not acceptable to my boss. Is there a better way of doing this than with the UNION operator?
Thank you
OK heres the situation, I have a Categories table and a Products table, each Category can have one or many Products, but a product can only belong to one Category hence one-to-many relationship.
Now I want to do a SELECT query that outputs all of the Categories onto an ASP page, but also displays how many Products are in each category eg.
CatID | Name | Description | No. Products
0001 | Cars | Blah blah blah | 5
etc etc
At the moment I'm doing nesting in my application logic so that for each category that is displayed, another query is run that returns the number of products for that particular category. It works ok!
However, is there a way to write a SQL Statement that returns all the Categories AND number products from just the one SELECT statement, rather than with the method I'm using outlined above? The reason I'm asking is that I want to be able to order by the number of products for each category and my method doesn't allow me to do this.
Many thanks!

I am designing a package performing some data imports from a text file to some tables, passing by a temporary table.
My specific requirements are:
initially the package checks if the input file exists, if it doesn't it will not continue.I have implemented this with a Script Task, and if the
file doesn't exist I fail the all package (Dts.TaskResult =
Dts.Results.Failure). Is this the right way?
after copying the data into a temporary table, it checks via SQL if some conditions are verified, if not it will not continue.I would have liked to do it via an SQL Task, but I don't know how to stop the package if the conditions are not what expected. Anybody can help?
Thank you.

Hi,
we've got this problem with some particular jobs: they look as they
ran correctly, but actually they didn't made it all through their
duties.
The problem is that this job is calling a sequence of DTS, where there
is a DTS with an ActiveX control which modifies another DTS before
launching and some other tasks: the error happens there, .
Launched from the DTS we get the error, from the job no...any idea how
we could get the correct job information?
Thank you

Hello
I am exporting an SQL Server table to a comma delimited text file. The values of Columns defined as Bit are exported as "True" or "False", but I would like that in the file appear 1 or 0 instead (with no surrounding double quotes). How can I acomplish that?
I tried using a Transformation and convert to single byte unsigned integer, but True values are exported as "255" and False values as "0". Why?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I have a database filled with contracts, suppliers and administrators who administrates those contracts.
I want to make a sproc that checks the difference between the expiration_date and the current date(in months). the sproc compares this output with a given period in the contracts-table. when the output <= the given period ---> send mail to the administrator with info about the contract. and that the contract will be expired in X months.
Having a Sproc that only gets the info from the tables and compares this info is no problem, but to let the sproc send an email to the admin whose email-adress also comes from a table is a little bit to tricky for me.
I have searched the internet but i can't figure it out.
If anyone knows where I can get more info about this subject please be so kind and let me know, or anything that could help me around for the moment.
PS. I'm using SQL server 2000
Thnx in advance
