The following sql works great when the field for my main blog message is type nvarchar but doesn't work for text which I need to convert to.
select
a.id, b.textField
count(b.a_id) as myCount
from a left join b on a.id = b.a_id
group by a.id, b.textField
What other methods could i use to get "myCount" within one sql statement?
Thanks in advance, Jeff

Hello,I am creating a simple blog system using SQL 2005.I have a Blog table:[BlogId] > PostId (PK), BlogTitle, ...And a Posts table[Posts] > PostId (PK), BlogId (FK), PostContent, PostLabels, ...PostLabels would have the following format:Label1,Label2,Label3, etc ...I will need to perform 3 actions:1. Get all posts in blog2. Get all labels in a post3. Get all unique existing labels in all posts in a blog and make a list.I am not sure if my approach of using a simple labels column in my Posts table is a good idea.So my other idea would be to add two more tables:[BlogLabels] > BlogLabelId (PK), BlogId (FK), LabelName ...[LabelsInPosts] > BlogLabelId (PK), PostId (PK)So my idea is:1. When creating a post one of the parameters would be a comma separating string with all labels for the post. Inside SQL Procedure I will need to loop through each label and check if it exists in BlogLabels. If not then I added it. For each label I add a records in LabelsInPosts. How to create this loop? Am I thinking this right?2. To get a list of all labels in a blog I would need to go to BlogLabels and get all labels which are related with posts in LabelsInPosts. Those posts must be only the ones that are related with my given BlogId. Grrr, this is getting really confusing for me. Is this possible to to? How?Please, give me some advice about all this.Thanks,Miguel

I have created two select clauses for counting weekdays. Is there a way to combine the two select together? I would like 1 table with two columns:

SELECT COUNT(DATEDIFF(d, DateintoSD, SDCompleted) - DATEDIFF(ww, DateintoSD, SDCompleted) * 2) AS 'Jobs Completed within 5 days'
FROM dbo.Project
WHERE (SDCompleted > @SDCompleted) AND (SDCompleted < @SDCompleted2) AND (BusinessSector = 34) AND (req_type = 'DBB request ') AND
(DATEDIFF(d, DateintoSD, SDCompleted) - DATEDIFF(ww, DateintoSD, SDCompleted) * 2 <= 5)

Hi,
I have a simple blog with a posts and replies table.
on the posts summary page i want to count the number of replies related to each post.
I thought i could store all the posts in a table variable and then loop through the table variable to count the number of replies that relate to the current post.
It doesnt seem as easy as i expected and i think i am making it more complicated for myself.
Can someone point me in the right direction please ?

(In the past if ever we had to include a photo we stored a link to the JPG/BMP/PNG/whatever into a column, but never actually inserted or updated a column with binary data.But now I've got to do that. So how do you put data into a column defined as BINARY(4096)?

I am using three tables in this query, one is events_detail, one is events_summary, the third if gifts. The original select statement counted the number of ids (event_details.id_number) that appear per event_name (event_summary.event_name).
Now, I would like to add in another column that counts the number of IDs that gave a gift who attended an event that were also listed in the event_ details table. So far I have come up with the following. My main issue is linking the subquery properly back to the main query. how to count in the sub-query and have the result placed within the groups results in the main query.
SELECT es.event_name, es.event_id, COUNT(ed.id_number) Number_Attendees,
(
SELECT COUNT(gifts.donor_id) AS Count2
FROM gifts
WHERE gifts.donor_id = ed.id_number
) subquery2

Hi. I am currently building a blog application, and I need some advice... I have the post title, post date, post by, etc stored in a database table, however I was wondering whether I should store the actual post content in the database as well or in a text file. For example, if the posts get really long would it slow down database performance or would there not be much of a difference? Furthermore, if I wanted to keep the posts private, a text file would not be ideal as it can be accessed easily by surfers... What do you recommend?Thanks a lot

There is my above sql script, i'm currently using mysql at home to test things but will convert to work in mssql.
I need to get associated BlogID for Certain ChannelID from the BlogAssociations table.
Then using those BlogID's that it finds for let just say ChannelID "1" list off the 3 most recent EpisodeID's from the Episodes Table per each BlogID.
So if ChannelID "1" has four BlogID's associated with it then in the Episodes table list off the recent 3 EpisodeIDs for BlogID "3", then the 3 most recent EpisodeIDs for BlogID "5" and so on and so on.
I have this which kind of does what I want:
Code:
select
e.BlogID, e.EpisodeID, e.other
FROM
episodes e, BlogAssociations ba
WHERE
e.BlogID = ba.BlogID and ba.ChannelID = '1'
ORDER BY
e.EpisodeID DESC;
It returns:
Code:
+--------+-----------+---------------------+
| BlogID | EpisodeID | other |
+--------+-----------+---------------------+
| 12 | 17 | Episode 17, blog 12 |
| 12 | 16 | Episode 16, blog 12 |
| 12 | 15 | Episode 15, blog 12 |
| 12 | 14 | Episode 14, blog 12 |
| 12 | 13 | Episode 13, blog 12 |
| 3 | 4 | Episode 4, blog 3 |
| 3 | 3 | Episode 3, blog 3 |
| 3 | 2 | Episode 2, blog 3 |
| 3 | 1 | Episode 1, blog 3 |
+--------+-----------+---------------------+
But as you can see it lists off 5 of the Episodes for BlogID "12", I only want the most recent 3 as previously stated. It also lists off more than 3 Episodes for BlogID "3". How in the world do I go about doing this?
I'm making this a stored procedure so I can't use php otherwise I wouldn't even be posting

Hey guys,
I have a Access adp that backs onto SQL Server 2005, its taken a while but tis nearly done.
Just one last thing to figure out.. and thats how to send a email. I had a look at all the Access ways and they just wont work out for this.
So I decided to use the server to send them, I would insert/update a row into a table which has a trigger on it.
The table has amoung other things a Approved and Declined column.
Both at 0 Sends an email to an Approver
App 1 Dec 0 Sends on further
and App 0 Dec 1 sends back to the original sender.
All I really want to know is could a trigger execute a package or something that will send the email? (Yes thats right someone isnt asking for code for once:D meh must be winter in hell)
If theres any flaws in my idea please feel free to tell me (Saves me denting the desk with my head half a week and 10 pages of code from now)
And where do I create triggers:P (Will probly have found this one in BOL by the time anyone replys)
Sorry about this but I really have no clue about triggers.. seems the site doesnt like me searching for triggers
'This page was generated in 17.03 seconds.'

Hello,We have a database filled with local restaurants for a directory. What I'm trying to do is display a list of all the cuisines and the number of restaurants who serve that type of cuisine in parentheses. It should look like the example below:American (12)Chinese (3)Italian (5)...Here are the tables with only the relevant columns: restaurants---------------...cuisine_id... cuisines-----------cuisine_idcuisine_name... So basically I want to pull all the names from the cuisines table and then the restaurant count from the restaurants table. The only way I can think of doing that is to grab the cuisine_ids, put them in an array and then use that in a loop to get the count from the restaurants table. That's not very elegant. Is there a better way?Thank you

3. Output the number of subscriptions made from a member of that country where tblOrders.orderTypeID = 3 and tblSubscriptionPacks.TypeID = 2 in the next column
