Is there a way to create a query which compares two result sets of results?
for example the result set of my first select statement is 7,1,8 and the second result set is 7,1,9..is there a query wherein i can compare the two results? i just wanted to reveal that there is a diffrence between the two..
thank you..

I'm working on an income deferral problem and we are using IRR to end up calculating periodic income.
As an example, I have the following inputs:
Number of periods = 9
Initial Loan = 21.46
Instalment amount =15.30
Future value=0
Guess=0.1 (10%)
Using a compiled function from Visual Studio in SQL Server 2008 we get a result of 70.71656373
Using a Microsoft Access function we get NaN
Using Microsoft Excel we get NaN
Using a web calculator we get 70 (ish, the calculator rounds the numbers)
I know that the numbers are odd, some of our data is dirty so we do expect that. I was expecting the SQL process to kick out an error (therefore converting the result into 0), but it doesn't.
I have large stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 that often get updated. Sometimes it is very difficult to recognize how one change could impact the overall results. I would like to have some sample input that I could test during changes and see it compare the data results before & after my changes. This would help me quickly identify if the results are fine to pass through.
So basically I would like an easy way to compare the results of 2 stored procedures. Any suggestions or utilites that would help me do this?

Hi Guys, I am experiencing weird results
SELECT DSNew, DTTM, RQDT
FROM dbo.Feb
INNER JOIN DMSEFL
ON ACTR = DSNew
where cast(DSNew as varchar(20)) = cast(ACTR As varchar(20))
If I run the above query I get zero recs back.
If I substitute a Value then I get the desired results (ie. where DSNew = '93235500') or if I enter (ACTR = '93235500') or if I put (where DSNew = '93235500' AND ACTR = '93235500')
Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening. I know the records exist on both tables I ran the query in Acess and got the desired resutls.
Thank you,

hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Hi,
I have a web form that lets users search for people in my database they wish to contact. The database returns a paged set of results using a CTE, Top X, and Row_number().
I would like to give my users to option of removing individual people from this list but cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried creating a session variable with a comma delimited list of ID's that I pass to my sproc and use in a NOT IN() statement. But I keep getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." Error Message.
Is there any way to do this? I am still new to stored procedures so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
Hi, when I copy and paste results from query analyzer into Excel it appears that values with zeroes at the end loose the zeroes. Example, if I copy and paste V128.0 into an Excel cell it comes out as V128 or if I copy 178.70 it displays as 178.7 - any ideas? I'm using SQL Enterprise Manager for 2000.

I am wondering how I would create a SELECT that will select the most recent date from one of two tables. For example, table1 has a field called LastUpdate and table 2 has a field called LastUpdate. I need to grab only the most recent date. I tried this using an inner join...but that didn't work because it only picks the lastupdate form one table only. talbe1 and table2 are tied by table2.table1id.
Can anyone help?
Hi All,
I have a database field (datestamp) which returns the date the records were inserted into the database. The datestamp was created with the now(); function in .net and is in the following format: 5/23/2006 2:27:45 AM
I basically want to return all records that were inputted more than 28 days ago. I have had alook though some other posts and below is the closest query that i could find but unfortunately it does not work for me.
SELECT id, datestampFROM table WHERE datestamp > DateAdd(d, 28, GetDate())

Hi Guys,
I'm afraid the schemas of the Development and Production versions of a database are in fact diferent.
How may I compare two database schemas?
Thanks in advance !-)
Hi ,
I have three tables T1 , T2 AND T3. T3 is having fields as a combination of T1 and T2 fields.How can I compare T1 and T2 field values with T3 FIELD VALUES.
How do i compare 2 dates without comparing their Time portions. I have a Datetime column in my table which for example has values :-
6/6/2001 7:23:42 PM
6/6/2001 8:01:08 PM and so on....
I have a Stored Procedure in which i am trying to fetch values from this table. The SP has 2 DateTime parameters @DateFrom and @Dateto. This SP is called from a Web page. On the Web Page the user just enters mm/dd/yyyy values for the 2 Date parameters. Therefore the Time portions defaults to 12:00 AM. So when the user passes 6/6/2001 as Date From and 6/6/2001 as Date To values, he doesn't get back the 2 records mentioned above since the Time portion makes the 2 records fall out of the date range.
Is there a way to just do a comparison on the Date portions i.e. give me all the records for 6/6/2001 irrespective of the time. I don't wan't to do individual comparisons for Day then Month and then Year.
Thanks
Sanjay.
Hello all,
I'm new to SQL Server so if the following sounds stupid then apologies. I am trying to design a query which compares columns and filters according to the result of the comparison. We are a UK based charity that provides financial help to families with disabled children (www.familyfund.org.uk). We have a large database (250,000 entries) which we know contains some duplicate/split files from a recent migration. We need to identify these files but not delete them. Currently I am using the following:
SELECT dbo.Families.famId, dbo.Address.street, dbo.Children.childId, dbo.Address.postcode
FROM dbo.Children INNER JOIN
dbo.Families ON dbo.Children.family_no = dbo.Families.famId INNER JOIN
dbo.Persons ON dbo.Families.famId = dbo.Persons.famId INNER JOIN
dbo.Address ON dbo.Persons.addressId = dbo.Address.addressId
WHERE (NOT (dbo.Children.eligStatus IN (3, 4)))
GROUP BY dbo.Children.childId, dbo.Address.postcode, dbo.Families.famId, dbo.Address.street
HAVING (dbo.Address.street IS NOT NULL)
ORDER BY dbo.Address.street
Obviously this returns all 250,000 records and then we have to search manually. We would like to run a query which compares families.famID to address.street so that where famId has more than one address attched it is returned to the results grid. Does this make sense? is it possible? Any help would be gratefully received
Thanks in advance

I have a Development and Production database and they are a little out of sink. Does any one know of a way to compare two databases (tables, fields, sp) and report the differences? Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHey all,
Trying to compare unique fields from two databases.
Basically what i'm trying to do is get all of the id's out of one field that don't exsist in the 2nd database.
so I have this query
Code:
select Distinct Id
from table1
where ID!= (select Distinct ID from table2)
I'm getting this error
Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
Now I don't understand why because then I query
select id from tables 2
I only get 1 value for each row.
Now you should know, the two columns in either table are different, in one of them the first value is "1" in the other the first value is "00000001" although I don't think that should effect anything.
Any idea's?
Thanks
i am using sql server ver 7
i am trying to do
select *
from independent_investment_certificate_temp
where independent_investment_certificate_temp.ticker_key = 31
and convert(varchar(40), cast(independent_investment_certificate_temp.maturity_date AS datetime),107) >
convert(varchar(40), cast('2006-12-10 10:29:50.733' AS datetime),107)
independent_investment_certificate_temp.maturity_date value is '2005-01-21 00:00:00.000'
the query above returns a value even though '2005-01-21 00:00:00.000' is clearly < '2006-12-10 10:29:50.733'
but why can anyone plz explain.. how can i compare dates stripping tyhem of the time so that all dates on the same day will be
equivalent regardless of the time
Hi, i got this query below, which I'd like to use to compare two sets of date...
select count(*) as rec, convert(char(6),dateEntered,13) as dateEntered from EmailTracker where chtype = '1' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) >= '"& stdate &"' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) <= '"& endate &"' group by convert(char(6),dateEntered,13)
the format of the stdate and dateEntered (a datetime datatype) looks like - 25 Aug 2005
right now, the query simply uses the first 2 letters of the date to fetch the record. That would not do the job as i want the thing to compare the whole lot! not just the 1st two letters...
Any help pls?
Hi everyone,
I have 2 seperate databases and I need to check for rows that are different from each other in a table.
I used access to link the tables in a database and am using queries to check the tables. However, I am having trouble formulating the SQL. What I want to do is not just check for the ID field to see if it exists, but to make sure the whole row exists. How can I form an SQL statement for this?
I tried something like:
Select * from table1 where Column1 NOT IN (Select Column1 from Table2) AND Column2 NOT IN (Select Column2 from Table2). However, I do not think this is correct. I want to make sure that the rows are compared, not individual values.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

IS there an easy way to compare two tables in sqlserver? I only need to display items that are different between table a and b.
thanks in advance for your help!
Does anyone know of a quick and easy to compare 2 datetime values based only on the month and year.
For example,
FromDate = 11/30/2004
ToDate = 12/30/2004
I just need to compare the 11/2004 to 12/2004 using function like <=, =, >=, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi all,
Sql server 7
i have two databases best and books.Most of the tables present in best are in books except some.
i have been given a task to list out the tables and columns of which are present in best database and not in books database.
Pls suggest me the simplest and quickest way to do this.
this is very urgent.
waiting for reply.
TIA
Adil
I will try to explain my problem as best as possible without going into too much detail.
Basically I have two tables,
AgentSchedule
AgentPunchData
These tables both contain agent names.
The schedule table has a column called "SHEND" which is a DATETIME datatype which identifies when an agent shift should end.
The entries all have a date attached which means nothing, for example "12/30/1899 9:00:00 PM"
The PunchData table has a column called "LOGOUT" which is also a DATETIME, the entries will have the real date and look something like this: "3/28/2008 9:23:00 PM"
I need to strip the date out of these functions so I can compare the times. I need to query the databases and return any instances where the LOGOUT time is > the shift end time (SHEND).
So far nothing I've tried has been successful. I'm completely stumped, I've tried so many different things and nothing compares the two times correctly. SQL DATETIME is the biggest pain in the ass, I wish we had SQL 2008 so I could just use TIME.
