Character To Numeric Conversion Error- Select Statment On Char Column
Sep 18, 2007Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly.
I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database.
Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements.
SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70)
The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error
"Character to numeric conversion error"
How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values?
I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct.
I have also used:
WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F'))
This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.

Custom Select Statment
Feb 18, 2007Hello,
Why when I make a custom select statment with multiple tables, that when I test my query I'm shown the same rolls multiple times. When I make a custom query with just one table everything works just fine. I don't have any primary keys or restraints or whatever.
SELECT * FROM table1, table2, table3 Does not work(shows each row multiple times)
SELECT * FROM table1 works just fine (shows each row just one time)
Thanks

Setting The Value Of A Variable In A Select Statment...
Oct 19, 2001I want to be able to have a single select statment:
SELECT TOP 1 Call.JobNum, Call.CallID, Call.Company, Call.LastCallTime
FROM ClientJob INNER JOIN Client ON ClientJob.ClientID = Client.ClientID
INNER JOIN Call INNER JOIN Login ON Call.JobNum = Login.JobNum ON ClientJob.JobNum = Login.JobNum
WHERE (Login.LoginID = 3) AND (Call.Status = 0) AND (DATEDIFF(hh, Call.LastCallTime, getdate()) > 10)
ORDER BY Call.CallID
but with this select statment I also want to set a variable:
declare @variable int
SELECT TOP 1 Call.JobNum, @variable = Call.CallID, Call.Company, Call.LastCallTime
FROM ClientJob INNER JOIN Client ON ClientJob.ClientID = Client.ClientID
INNER JOIN Call INNER JOIN Login ON Call.JobNum = Login.JobNum ON ClientJob.JobNum = Login.JobNum
WHERE (Login.LoginID = 3) AND (Call.Status = 0) AND (DATEDIFF(hh, Call.LastCallTime, getdate()) > 10)
ORDER BY Call.CallID
Now SQL Server does not like this, can not set a variable in a multiple select statment. I NEED to do this all in one step if possible. Any suggestions?

Two Join Types In One Select Statment
Mar 7, 2007Will writes "I have an employees table, which gives all emp. ids. I have a second table, time_log with tasks each employee has logged:
empID date log_time duration etc
===================================
and a 3rd table - a pivot table with a single column named "i" containing consecutive integers from 0 - 1000
I need to know for each date in a series, e.g seven consecutive days, how much time each has logged. easy if everyone has logged a task for every day, but I need to include every day where they have not logged a task.
so, a cartesian join on all the dates in a series(produced using dateadd on p.i and the pivot table)
SELECT dateadd('d',p.i, #02/19/2007#), e.empID
FROM pivot1 p, employees e
WHERE i<no_dates
However I need to do a left join with time log where the date and employee ids are the same, and I have summed the durations for each date. The following query does this, but does not include dates and times where nothing has been logged.
SELECT empID, log_date, sum(duration)
FROM time_log
GROUP BY empEIN, log_date
GIVING, EVENTUALLY, ALL DATES AND EMPIDS AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE LOGGED FOR EACH DAY."

Dec 4, 2007I'll try to explane what I am looking for.
I'd like to select from a table, let say with 2 variables. One with a currency and one with integer. The integer value is a number between 0 and 255. The integer value represents a value of what kind of BIT is turned on in one BYTE.
Down to business.
I am looking for all BYTES with the fifth BIT = 1 as in example 00001000.This represents the value of 16. This value is an integer in my table. But as you see, the BYTE has a number of different values with the fifth=1 as the rest of the BITS can be 1 as in example 01011000 = 26.
Down to code.
Tablename = myMoney
Column Name = mCurrency; Data Type = decimal(18,2)
Column Name = bit5; Data Type = int
Code Block
SELECT sum(mCurrency)
FROM myMoney
WHERE somefunction(bit5) = 1
I have made the code in VB some time ago but this time I need to do the aclculation in the SQL server.

Excluded A Record From The Select Statment
Feb 20, 2008Hi I have a table where I am searching for the values between certain numbers. But then I want to exclude a record to be part of the search
so how I could do that.
This is what I am trying to do.
Select * from mytable Where Value Between 10000 and 200000 --this gives me the result
But then I want to exclude a record from the select statment.
For example this is what I really want to do
Select * from mytable Where Value Between 10000 and 20000 and where value != '100o'
It is not a typo '100o' and this not let me test the select statment so I want to exclude that particular record.
The type was in the table and I want to exclude that record so I can get my statment running.
Stored Procedure With Conditional Select Statment
Feb 6, 2007Hi all,
I created a stored procedure which perfoms a simple select like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE Reports_Category
( @loc varchar(255), @pnum varchar(255) )
AS declare @vSQL nvarchar(1000) set @vSQL = 'SELECT ' + @loc + ', ' + @pnum + ' FROM Category ' exec sp_executesql @vSQL
RETURNGO
It takes field names as parameters. What happens is that when I supply value to only one parameter, the procedure gives error as it is expecting both values. Is there a way to make these parameters work like an 'OR' so that the procedure returns a dataset even if there is only one value supllied.
Please help,
Thanks,

How To Use Variable To Receive The Result Of A Select Statment. ?
Jun 21, 2002Good morning;
My Problem is :im my transaction i use insert code like the following :
" Insert into TAB1 (F1,F2,F3)
select a.F1,b.F2,b.F3 from TAB2 a,TAB3 b
where a.KY1= b.KY1 and b.ORDN in
(Select ORDN from OTAB where USER_ID = 'MIKE')"
In order to optimise my code ,
instead of using a subquery in my select
(I have different insert in my transaction with the same subquery).
I would like to DECLARE a varibale which will contain the select of the Subquery.
and then use it im my different insert. some thing like this.
" BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE @OrdSelect int
Set @OrdSelect = (Select ORDN from OTAB where USER_ID = 'MIKE')
Insert into TAB1 (F1,F2,F3)
select a.F1,b.F2,b.F3 from TAB2 a,TAB3 b
where a.KY1= b.KY1 and b.ORDN in @OrdSelect
COMMIT Tran "
I know that the @OrdSelect will receive the last value of the select not an array of values. which will make my transaction incorrect.
I dont want to use Cursor to resolve this issue Too.
Thinks.
Select Statment On Column That Can Contain Alpha And Numeric Values
Sep 13, 2007Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value
The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete.
My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error:
Character to numeric conversion error
This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
Stored Proc Using Variable As Fieldname In Select Statment
Apr 20, 2001Using SQL Server 7 I am trying to modify an existing stored proc and make it more flexible. The below example represents the first part of that proc. The temp table that it should return is then used by another part of the proc (this query represents the foundation of my procedure). I need to figure a way to change the SQL Select statement, choosing between C.CONTRACTCODE and CB.EMPLOYERCODE on the fly. The query below will run but no records are returned. I am starting to believe/understand that I may not be able to use the @option variable the way I am currently.
I've tried creating two SQL statements, assigning them as strings to the @option variable, and using EXEC(@option). The only problem with this is that my temp table (#savingsdata1) goes out of scope as soon as the EXEC command is complete (which means I can not utilize the results for the rest of the procedure). Does anyone know how I can modify my procedure and incorporate the flexibility I've described?
Thanks,
Oliver
