hi 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
I have to run a query to give a column a value based on a time range. Can Iuse DECODE?select decode(trans_date, trans_date>='01-Jul-2002' andtrans_date<='30-Jun-2003','Fiscal2002', .....) as fiscal,from. . .where. . .
HI, 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. thanks, Sravan.
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.
I have a question about the "Decode" funktion. is it only avaiable in Oracle? The reason for my question is that I need to SELECT a colum in a table based on a int value. So if the uservalue is lower then that take that colum, lower then that take colum...etc.
Can I use decode? or/and is there better funktion (I'm using MS SQL 2005)
how can I write decode function in sql such that i have a feild in my table called "file type" based on its content i want to pass a value to sql datasource such that if file type = doc i want to pass "~/Images/ico_filetype_10.gif" an so on
I am a novice to SQL Server, so this is probably a really easy problemto fix. I'm translating an Oracle query and need to change the'decode' to something compatible. Everything I've read points me tousing 'case' but no matter how I write it I can't get it to work andget a syntax error. Suggestions?select SYST CTR, isnull(substring(CD_A, 1, 3), ' ') RESCODE, DES DESCRIPTION, decode (substring(CD_A, 1, 3), CODE,PRICE,0) UNIT_PRICE, count (distinct OR_NO) QTYW

Is there an efficient scripting method to update the connection string for ALL reports that reside on a reporting/web server? "(automating the process, rather than having to change the data source for each individual report that resides on that server)".

Hi,I have a situation where I am loading data into a stagingtable for multiple data sources. My next step is to pick up therecords from the staging table and compare with the data in thedatabase and based on the certain conditions, decide whether to insertthe data into the database or update an existing record in thedatabase. I have to do this job as an sp and schedule it to run on theserver as per the requirements. I thought that cursors are the onlyoption in this situation. Can anyone suggest if there is any other wayto achieve this in SQL 2005 please.ThanksSeshadri
I am currently with sql 2k5 and using web assistant to generate some HTML files and email the same automatically to a set of users. these html files that are generated are processed via a JOB in sql server. I am in process of replacing of the web assistant procedures. Is this possible to make this with XQuery of SQL Server 2K5 and convert it into HTML files with Stored Procedure. Is there any other possible way to do it?
"Update STR_RGSTR_DFLT " & _ " Set GST_SVY_FREQ_P = " & iNewSurveyPct & _ " Where dhc_co_c = " & iCo & " and store_i = " & iStore & _ " And RGSTR_PROTO_C not in (0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13)"
in this the values in the where clause 'not in' i.e (0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13) are directly given but we want some alternate solution. the entire script is writen in VBScript. these values are already populated in an array like proto_code_ary = {0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13} shall we use that array directly without hard coding the values in the query?
In times past I connected my web app to SQL Server by embedding the following in the web.config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="XyzApp_DB" connectionString="Data Source=MyServerSQLExpress;Database=XyzApp;User ID=sa;Password=secret_password"/> </connectionStrings> And it worked fine. But it was pointed out to me that this wasn't a very proper way to do things. So I was advised to set things up with a different connection string: <connectionStrings> <add name="XyzApp_DB" connectionString="Data Source=MyServerSQLExpress;Database=XyzApp;User ID=Xyz_Admin;Password=different_password"/> </connectionStrings> To get this to work, I've followed these instructions: A more secure login than “sa� is required to access your application. In the “connectionStrings� section of “Web.config� you’ll find a User ID called “Xyz_Admin�. Here are the steps to ensure that your DB has this login id:
a. Using the Microsoft SQL Server Management tool, look in the root for the “Security� folder and open it. Inside that, open the “Logins� folder.
b. If “Xyz_Admin� doesn’t exist then right-click on “Logins� and choose “New Login�:
i. Enter “Xyz_Admin� in the “Login name� textbox.
ii. Click on “User Mapping� on the left side and in the ‘Map’ column check the box beside “XyzApp�.
iii. Go back to the “General� page and choose SQL Server Authentication.
iv. Specify any secret password you wish.
v. You can uncheck “Enforce password expiration� if you wish.
vi. Specify “XyzApp� as the default database and press OK.
c. Open “Databases�, right-click on “XyzApp� and select “New Query�. Run this query: sp_change_users_login 'update_one', 'xyz_admin', 'xyz_admin'
Now, I was pretty sure that this procedure was working fine but it doesn't seem to work for me today. I know that the client computer I'm using can connect to the DB on the server because I temporarily changed the User Id to "sa" and it connected fine. But when I change it back to "Xyz_Admin" it does not. So I'm thinking that there's something incorrect with the procedure above but I don't know what.Any ideas?Robert W.
Hi What is the difference between Candidate key , composite key and alternate key. I went through many websites but I didn't get examples. There were only definitions. Can anyone please tell me the site or blogs that elaborate this concept RegardsKaran
We just erected a new firewall that only allows PASV FTP. Now, my SQL Server can't call master..xp_cmdshell "ftp ...".
Does anyone know how to make the NT FTP client work in PASV (passive) mode or another FTP client that can be called from xp_cmdshell and works in passive more?
I need to join a remote table which has 20 million rows to few local tables on my SQL Server. Currently Linked server query is used but it's just hanging for ever..is there any alternative for this?
I have a production database with input from 3 locations outstation. I need to bring down this server once in a while for tuning and other administrative stuff. Right now I'm in no position to shut the server down. Is there any way I can do this.
Also how can I have 2 databases and toggle between the 2 seamlessly without effecting the users. Does it have to be a mirror on the devices ? What do the professionals usually do
I have heard about clusters. Is this a solution for my problem and what is a cluster anyway ? Vijay
Yes, I know synchronisation to alternate partners is deprecated in SQL2005 but....
In SQL2000 there is a Sync Partners tab in the publication properties dialog that allows you tick a checkbox for each co-publisher to be enabled as an alternate synchronisation partner. What is the equivalent in SQL2005?
I've set up replication in SQL2000 following these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321176 and it works. Now I'm trying to do the same thing in SQL2005 but I can't find a substitute for steps 10 & 11 in the section "Set Up the Alternate Synchronisation Partner". What's the answer?
