Dear folks,
create table temptable(eno, ename) as select eno, ename from emp.
here the problem is it is asking for the datatype for the temporary table.
is it not possible to create the temp table without providing the datatypes?
thank you very much.

Hello,I am attempting to build a MS SQL query that will return data from"today"; today being current day 8:00AM-10:00PM today. My goal is toreturn the data from a table that is written to throughout the day, thequery will provide the current grade of service in our call center.I am having difficulty defining my where clause:- I can accomplish my goal my statically defining my 'date between' asthe actual date and time (not ideal)- I can accomplish the second part of my date using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;but I am unable to define the starting pointHere is where I am thus far:/* We are going to count the total calls into each queue from start ofbusiness today (8:00AM) to now */select COUNT(Result) as "Total Sales Calls Offered" fromdbo.QueueEncounterwhere Direction='0'andQueueID='1631'and/* This is where I get lost */Time between DATEPART(day, GETDATE()) and DATEPART(day, GETDATE())Clearly the last line returns zero as there are no calls between thesame date range. How can I add to that line, or write this to work?Any thoughts?Thanks for the help.-Chris

I would like to know if it is possible to do a SELECT statement where I can denormalize my table. I am not sure if it is needed to create a new table at first and insert denormalized values into the created table.
Example
Original table:

1 a 10
1 b 15
1 c 8
And I want to use SELECT to get this table:
ID a b c
1 10 15 8
I'm wondering if there is a single statement I can write to pull my data. Let's say my Order table has one field for userId and one field for supervisorId (among other fields) both of which are foreign keys into the Users table where their name, address, etc. are stored. What I'd like to do is to pull all the rows from Order and have a join that pulls the user name and supervisor name from the User table all in one go. Right now I pull all the Orders with just user name joined, and then go back over the objects to add the supervisor name as a separate query.
The reason I'd like to do this is to simplify the objects I'm passing to the GridView by doing a single fetch instead of multiples. I'm using SQL Server, .NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005.
Thanks
Hello fellow .net developers,
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
BTW - this would be a stored procedure...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am developing a program to a company which simply sells services
One service may have different prices for different types of clients
The price of any service for any client can change at any time, and I should be able to trace these changes at any time
I made the following tables (simplified): (asterisk for primary key)
(Table) (Fields)
CLIENT_TYPES : ID*, ClientTypeName
SERVICES : ID*, ServiceName
PRICES : ServiceID*, ClientTypeID*, Price, Date*
ORDERS : ID*, Date, ClientTypeID
ORDER_SERVICES : OrderID*, ServiceID*
The field in bold is the area of the question
This is a sample data in the PRICES table:
ServiceID ClientTypeID Price Date1 1 100 1/1/20072 1 150 1/1/20071 2 90 1/1/20072 2 135 1/1/2007
Now if I want to update a price of service 1 for clienttype 1, I add the following row:
1 1 100 1/1/2008
So one product for one client can have any number of prices with different dates
The following query:
SELECT * FROM PRICES WHERE ClientTypeID = 1
will retrieve all prices with repeats for a specific client (#1 here)
What I want is a query to retrieve the most recent prices for specific client for all products, even if a query on query
If there is commemts on table design please tell me
thanks for any one who provides help

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am in doubt if its possible to make a select statement which enables me to consolidate multiple lines in the same table.
I have a table with a lot of companies and figures for each company.
Some of the companies owns some of the other companies in the table and in reverse, some of the companies are owned by some of the companies in the table.
I have a lot of columns, but basically the most important columns are:
Company Name, Company Mother , Company Daughter.
Each company has also a revenue column.
What I want to do is to consolidate all figures for absolute mothers e.i. companies which are not owned by another company in the list.
I therefore need a select statement which says something like:
Get the revenue of companies not owned by another company (e.i. absolute mother). Add to this, the revenue of all its daughters. Add to this the revenue of all the daughters daughters etc. until there are no daughters left.
In other words - aggregate the revenue for all the companies in the group under the name of the ultimate parent company.
I can easily select and add the revenue for the first level of direct daughters, but I dont know how many more daughters the daughters has etc.
Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
Â
btw I have used this statement
SET
IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...

Hey gang,
I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query')
I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling.
Here's my current Query this works fine:
Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum
From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo
Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#')
What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note.
I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
