This is my first time working with XML fields. I am trying a simple:
Select XMLField.Value('(./field)[1]','varchar(100)') as Data
But I get nothing back. I do not know how to handle the 'i="1"' stuff.
This is what the XML looks like:
<fd u="5e455ef114194473" b="1" v="31">
<field i="1">2012-07-12</field>
<field i="147">
<v>Final Inspection</v>
</field>
<field i="3">

Hi, i was wondering what is the correct way to handle price fields in the database and then in c#. I read somewhere to use a decimal over a money field in the database but then in c# should i cast the data returned to a double (not sure if this would work) or to a decimal. My problem is that i thought when working in c# you should treat numbers with a decimal point as either a float or double? Why is there a decimal type in c#? Appreciate if someone could clear this up.
Thanks

Problem: I have a calculated field on a PO table that adds up item prices on an Item table to get the total PO value. This works as expected until there are at least 10 rows in the PO table. From the 10 row on the calculated field stops working and only shows 0.
I have experienced this before and it seems like calculated fields break on the 10th row of a table and onward.
My PO table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PO](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Quote_Number] [varchar](max) NULL,
[Customer] [varchar](max) NULL,
[CustomerPO] [varchar](max) NULL,
[PO_Received_Date] [datetime] NULL,
[Total_PO_Value] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[Code] ....
I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:
ID, provider_name, uniq_id, total_spent, total_earned
Here is sample data:
1, Harbor, A07B8, 500.00, 1200.00
2, Harbor, A07B8, 400.00, 800.00
3, Harbor, B01C8, 600.00, 700.00
4, Harbor, B01C8, 300.00, 1100,00
5, LifeLine, L01D8, 700.00, 1300.00
6, LifeLine, L01D8, 200.00, 800.00
I need the results to be just 3 lines:
Harbor, A07B8, 900.00, 2000.00
Harbor, B01C8, 900.00, 1800.00
LifeLine, L01D8, 900.00, 2100.00
But then I would need the totals for the Provider, so:
Harbor, 1800.00, 3800.00
I would like to search a table for a phrase, or for a partial phrase,eg on table product - for name or description, or name + descprition.How does one say select * from product where name + description like%phrase%or contains phraseCurrently I can get where name, or where descriotion like %phrase%,eg, where name like krups, or where description like coffee makerBut if I search for where name like %krups coffee maker% i get noresults. krups is in the name field, coffee maker is in thedescription field.Thanks,-M

I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like:
UPDATE "TABLENAME"
SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2
WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.
I have a list of items in one table and a field (pageName) in another table that may contain one of the aforementioned items somewhere within that field. There is no fixed position within the field where the itemNo may be so I can't just use SUBSTRING(pageName,2,5) in(select itemNo from tblItem).
Logically, it's like I need to combine IN and LIKE: select pageName where pageName LIKE IN %select itemNo from tblitemNo%..LIKE can only handle one comparison string.
I am writing a pgm that attaches to a SQL Server database. I have an Add stored procedure and an Update stored procedure. The two are almost identical, except for a couple parameters. However, the Add function works and the Update does not. Can anyone see why? I can't seem to find what the problem is...
This was my test:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Update", cn)
'Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Add", cn)
Try
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserId", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = UserId
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
[...etc more parameters...]
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ContactId
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Label1.Text = "done"
cn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
End Try
When I use the Add procedure, a record is added correctly and I receive the "done" message. When I use the Update procedure, the record is not updated, but I still receive the "done" message.
I have looked at the stored procedures and the syntax is correct according to SQL Server.
Please I would appreciate any advice...
Hi people
My users are having troubles with link to default drillthrough report when reports are exported to excel (they REALLY don't like this behavior ), so I decided set all of them disabled in report model, this work fine, but calculated field in reports has this drillthrough link.
Let me show you the situation. Entity Product has an UnitaryCost field, I set the EnableDrillthrough Property in False so when I export a report with this field, no link is shown.
But if I create in the report a calculated field Round(UnitaryCost) this field has a Drillthrough Link
Is this the standard and expected behavior? or its simply a BUG?
Have I done something wrong in my model? and in this case, How I can correct this?
regards.

Hi!
I used MS Access database! I need to know what are the replications of MS Access fields in MS SQL Server?!
1) What is TEXT field of MS Access in MS SQL Server?!
2) What is MEMO field of MS Access in MS SQL Server?!
3) How to set AutoNumber in MS SQL Server?!
I get confused because my online web based sql admin of my host had many options like varchar...
3) Please tell me the size of the fields too as i will be storing a large amount of data!
4) In MS Access there was field size like...60...! But in MS SQL Server there was 16 written next to the TEXT field! What is it? some Bytes?!
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm very rusty on SQL, if someone could help I'd appreciate it! It's probably very easy to solve!
Ok, I have a table called results which contains results of a survey where users rated features on a scale of 1 to 7. For example I have:
results(id, feature1, feature2, feature3, feature4, feature5)
sample data
1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 6
So, I want to create a view which will summarise total points given i.e. sum of feature1 -feature5. How do I do this? Do I need a function or is there a built-in function? All I can find is info on aggregate functions... but I want it per row...
Thanks,

Edit: the question is more clear in http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?p=4477661&posted=1#post4477661
OK this question is not really SQL server related but since we will build the database in MS SQL Server (2000) i think this is the proper forum to ask this question.
It's actually a quite simple question i gues, but my experience with databases is very limited (buiding my first serious database actually).
when i have two tables Organization and Samples coming from this organization with the following fields:
Organization:
InstituteID (identification)
Name
Adress
...
Sample:
SampleID (sample identification)
InstituteID (references to the Institute table)
SampleDate
Location
...
In general is it better to use the sampleID and InstituteID combined as primary key in the second (sample) table (and build an index on the combined key) or to generate a new unique key for each record? And why should i choose either one of these options?
One advantage of the first option is you dont have to generate keys yourself (or use some autonumbering system), however the disadvantage is the key grows bigger and bigger when adding more tables (fraction taken from samples, analysis performed on fractions, Analysis giving results).
Hi,
The only SUM samples I've seen just do SUM over a column. But I need to add up fields within a row.
ie: select SUM(a, b, c) from x
How would this be done?
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Visual Studio 2003 and an ODBC connection to an Oracle 7 database I created a dataset with the following query:
SELECT ITEM, REV,QTY FROM MYDB.CONTRACT

All is well until I change the contract_number to a parameter using either ? or a named parameter. Report users will choose the parameter value from a drop down list generated by another query. Although the parameterized query will still run via a prompt dialog, the report field list disappears and many errors occur.
Does anyone know why this happens to the fields and how to retrieve them?

I am building a database for a new project. I am not a DBA or a database designer so please bear with me on this question.
My boss believes that the only time to use an identity column is when we cannot determine a unique primary key. On tables where we can determine a unique primary key identify fields are a waste of reasources. For instance, one of the tables that I need to create is a customer table. Since all of our customers have unique customer numbers my boss believes that in this case an identity column is useless. I don't have enough experience to determine if he is correct or not.
Can someone please explain the pro's and con's of using identity fields to me.

Hi
I have a content management system that I am building. My CMS has a
pages table which contains 60 fields, some are varchars, some are ntext
some are dates etc. They have field names which match their purpose
like varchar1, ntext3 etc. These fields are used up depending on which
template is applied to the page.
The templatefields table holds holds the information about each field
in a template. It's control type (rich text control, date control etc)
and the field in the pages table that the data will be stored in
(varchar1,ntext3 etc)
What I want to be able to do is loop through the templatefeilds table
for a particular template and then using the field name for the pages
table, go to the pages table and get the value to populate the control.
So to clarify, I would like to produce a stored procedure which outputs
the page field name (varchar1) from the templatefields table and
varchar1's value in the pages table. Maybe in a temporary table.
Is this possible?
Any guidance would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance
