Correct Syntax For This Select In SQL Server?
Jun 22, 2007
This (demo) statement is fine in Access, and so far as I can see, should
be OK in SQL Server.
But Enterprise Manager barfs at the final bracket. Can anyone help
please?
select sum(field1) as sum1, sum(field2) as sum2 from
(SELECT * from test where id < 3
union
SELECT * from test where id 2)
In fact, I can reduce it to :-
select * from
(SELECT * from test)
with the same effect - clearly I just need telling :-)
cheers,
Jim

I have a interger stored in x.
I want to use x in a SELECT statement like so :
SELECT * from aTable WHERE A_Column = x
This select statement is then assigned to and passed as a string like :
sql = "SELECT * from aTable WHERE A_Column = x"
How does the x get interpreted correctly ?

Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Hi.
This is a Stored proc I am working on
I dont know much about stored procs.
This is what I am trying to achieve
The proc takes two input parameter and returns one outparameter.
This is what I have
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetNextAction]
(
@Code char(10),
@Track varchar(30),
@NextAction ntext output
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
Declare @ID int;
@ID = Select Sequence from [dbo].[Track] where Code=@Code;
Declare @nextCode varchar;
@nextCode= Select Code from [dbo].[Track] where sequence =(@ID+1);
@NextAction= Select nextAction from [dbo].[CaseStage] where Code=@nextCode;
return @NextAction;
END
GO
I guess you can understand what I am trying in the proc but the rules and syntax are wrong. Please help me with this.
Thanks

Hi, I'm new to SQL and was wondering if there was an easier way to filter data.
I have two tables -
The first table called Names of Companies has a column named: NAMES
NAMES
XYZ Company
ABC Limited Liability Company
ZZZ Corporation
KKK Inc.
ABC Inc.
The second table called Keywords has a column named: WORDS
WORDS
Company
Limited
I want to search for all NAMES that contain the WORDS in some form
The results should be:
NAMES
XYZ Company
ABC Limited Liability Company
Technically, I can get the results I want by manually typing into the SQL statement all the words that appear in the WORDS column.
SELECT *
FROM [Names of Companies]
WHERE [Names of Companies].Names Like "*Company*" Or ([Names of Companies].Names) Like "*limited*"));
But is there a way that I reference the table Keyword instead of typing into the query statement all the words that appear in the column WORD? I have a lot of words to search for.
Can anyone recommend a better way to do this?
Thanks for all your help!

There is no password.
Is this syntax correct?

I'm trying to create a SQL job in SQL Server and am a little unclear about the formatting.Here's a snippet from the stored procedure that creates the job:CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spArchive] @DB varchar(30), @Date DateTimeAS EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep @job_name = 'ArchiveIncentives' , @step_id = 1 , @step_name = 'ArchiveAHD' , @subsystem = 'TSQL' , @command = 'spArchiveAHD ''@Date''' , @on_success_action = 3 , @on_fail_action = 2 , @database_name = '@DB' , @retry_attempts = 1 In this case, the job will be calling this stored procedure:CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spArchiveAHD] ( @dtArchiveBefore DateTime)AS I'm unclear about these lines: @command = 'spArchiveAHD ''@Date''' @database_name = '@DB' Do they look correct to you or should I drop some/all of the apostrophes?Robert W.

I have a test page where I'm using SqlConnection and SqlCommand to update a simple database table (decrease a number).
I'm trying to figure out how to make a number in the database table to decrease by 1 each time a button is being pressed. I know how to update the number by whatever I want to, but I have no idea what the correct syntax is for putting variables inside the query etc. Like "count -1" for instance.
The database table is called "friday" and the one and only column is called "Tickets".
Here's the code behind the button:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{SqlConnection conn;
conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=***;Initial Catalog=***;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=***;Password=***");
conn.Open();int count = -1;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Tickets from friday", conn);
count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();if (count > 0)
{
string updateString = @"
update friday
set Tickets = 500" ; <------ Here I want to set Tickets like "current count -1"SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(updateString);
cmd2.Connection = conn;
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
else
{
}
conn.Close();
}

I am having trouble finding the correct syntax to access a variable. I have a variable defined in the Variables window: The variable name is formatedDate. The DataType is String.
I am successfully setting the value of the variable in a Execute SQL Task. The SQL is as follows:
SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, MAX(ReportDate), 120), 10) as formatedDate
from DimReportDates
The Result Set is set to “Single Row” and properly set up.
No problem so far. I can see with a watch that the variable has the correct value, something like:
‘2015-09-30’
Now, in a subsequent step, a Data Flow Task, I want to access the variable. Actualy it is in the SQL statement of a OLE DB source in the Data Flow… I have the following:
Declare @sDate smalldatetime
SELECT @sDate = xxxxx
I have tried several things substituting xxxxx above, but nothing seems to work. One variation was
@[User::formatedDate])
Another was
((DT_WSTR, 10) @[User::formatedDate]).
I think I’m close, but just can’t get it. What is the correct syntax.

HOWEVER, I can't seem to get the proper syntax towork in the ASP page. It seems no matter what I try the "1/1/1900"still results.

select *
from VendTable1 a
join ( select firstname, lastname
from VendTable1
group by firstname, lastname
having count(*) > 1 ) b
on a.firstname = b.firstname
and a.lastname = b.lastname
I'm running into issues when trying to add the other table with the 4 other fields.

Consider the below script
CREATE TABLE #TEMP(Id int,CreatedBy varchar(30),ModfiedBy varchar(30))
CREATE TABLE #TEMP2 (ID int,SearchedBy varchar(30))
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES(1,'James',NULL)
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES(1,'James','George')
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES(1,'James','Vikas')
INSERT INTO #TEMP2(ID) VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO #TEMP2(ID) VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO #TEMP2(ID) VALUES(1)
Now i want to get the result as
;WITH CTE AS(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Id ORDER BY ID ASC) AS RowNum ,*
FROM #TEMP
)
SELECT CASE WHEN RowNum=1 THEN CREATEDBY
WHEN RowNum > 1 THEN ModfiedBy
END
FROM CTE
But when i convert this select to update, i am missing something...
My update is
;WITH CTE AS(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Id ORDER BY ID ASC) AS RowNum ,*
FROM #TEMP
)
UPDATE #TEMP2
SET SearchedBy =CASEWHEN RowNum=1 THEN CREATEDBY
WHEN RowNum > 1 THEN ModfiedBy
END
FROM CTE
WHERE #TEMP2.ID=CTE.ID
Only the first record gets updated...

Hi,everyone.
Today I met with a interesting problem. According to Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 BOOKS ONLINE, there is following SELECT Syntax:
(1) SELECT @local_variable (Transact-SQL)
For example:
DECLARE @i int
SELECt @i=100
(2) SELECt QUERY statement:
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT ]
[ TOP expression [ PERCENT ] [ WITH TIES ] ]
<select_list>
<select_list> ::=
.....
For example,
[AdventureWorks]
SELECT * FROM DatabaseLog
To my surprise, in the given project, I met this kind of SELECT statement,
DECLARE @w_type varchar(10), @i varchar(30)
SELECT @i='3'
SELECT @w_type='OLTPNORMAL' WHERE @i IN ('0','1','2','3','4','5','9',)
SELECT @w_type
The result is:
OLTPNORMAL
However, I have not met with the kind of SELECT statement before. Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

I have like 100 columns and most of them work fine, but some will not work. I need to select the columns with correct width for fixed width flat file.
Here is typical SQL statment that works for most of them.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate(' ', 25) ,25) as [City]
The above one is not working, but many other works fine like the address. Why would it work for some, but not others?
It works fine if I use any char, but not space. i.e.
left(RTRIM(A.City) + Replicate('*', 25) ,25) as [City]
