I have a ASP page where the user posts part of the name field. Then i need to provides the matches. (providing partial comparision of the field & correcting bad spelling)
example:
User posts 'softwair' (should be software)
the query look like this
Select Name from A where Name is like '%softwair%' <-- but appling soundex on it in the like field, or something like it.
I could make a copy of the column and update all info in the field to the soundex value, but then the like statement would not get it if the value was only part of it. for example say the data values where like 'Microsoft Software', or 'My Software Solutions', ect...
I'm banging my head against the wall. It's probably pretty simple so here goes...
I have a form that supposed to add records to a table on the database. I'm pretty sure I have the dataAdapter and Dataset set right but when I add a record, it complains that the primary key can’t be null. I’ve tried different things, including removing those fields and variables from the stored Proc, changing the Identity Properties of the Table, changing the AutoIncrement settings on the Dataset for that field, but all give me different errors. Nothing actually makes it work. This database has many records in it and the Primary key is a decimal field that starts at 5, then next was 10, then 28, then it started getting consecutive after 110. (111, 112, 113, etc.) (I'm porting over an old database to a new web site, so I'm somewhat contrained by the database.)
I guess my question is for adding records in to a database that has a primary unique key constraint. Certainly this is a pretty common thing. Obviously I do not want users to enter that in themselves, I thought it should simply autocreate/autonumber. So what is the best procedure and gotcha’s I need to watch out for?
if i have the following code, how do i know if the transaction was actually successful, so basically where in this code can i write TRANSACTION SUCCESFUL?
try { //Open up the connection conn.Open(); //Setup the Transaction trans = conn.BeginTransaction();
//First query in transaction pre_query = "Delete from Menu where spec_name=" + "'" + spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString() + "'" ;
//Second query in transaction query = "INSERT into Menu VALUES ('" + Calendar1.SelectedDate +"','" + spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString() +"','" + spec_desc_array[i].Text.ToString() +"','" +spec_price_array[i].Text.ToString() +"',1)"; SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(pre_query,conn); //Setup the command to handle transaction comm.Transaction = trans; //Execute first query comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); //Add in second query comm.CommandText = query; //Execute second query comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); trans.Commit(); } catch(SqlException ex) { com_label.Text = "Submission Not complete, did you forget the date or something else?"; //Undo all queries trans.Rollback(); } finally { conn.Close(); }
This may not be the right place for this post...but my head is hurting and I can't think right now.
I have a SQL table of users. Each record has a required 'Birthdate' field. I'd like to order this by the days left till the give birthday, keeping in mind that the year may be 1980 or their birthday might have been 2 weeks ago.
I have written 2 custom connection mgr€™s. One connects the data from an oracle source One connects so I can put the data on a sql server. These both work well and it makes it a lot easier across development, test, production.
But now I would like a good way to do this
I have 10 tables to copy from oracle. The only difference is just the name of the table.
If I have a 64 bit version of SQL 2005 installed, will "select @@version" indicate it is a 64 bit version? If not, how do I determine such? Thanks in advance.
I have a column in my report that i want to show percentage change from the previous year to this year. So i enter all kinds of different type of formats for the formula, and keep getting the wrong answers or error messeges. Here's what i have tried recently:
hi, I have this simple sql query - it should be pretty obvious what I'm trying to achieve but this syntax isn't accepted on SQL 2005, any suggestions? SELECT Name FROM Users WHERE UsersID IN (EXEC dbo.ReturnDataByModule 'Groups',1200)
Ok - I am still a bit weak on SQL. My understanding of FK relationships in a database are to reinforce the data integrity - Correct? For example, does it make sure that the id given for SiteID does indeed exists. Can it link tables like JOIN in select statements? If not, is there any gains by creating them, such as performance?
scenario I have 2 tables one is called "Site" which contains columns ID, Address1, Address2,City,StateID,ZipCode and the second table is called "State" which contains columns ID,Name,Abbreviation. I am looking to make a view that contains all the sites with the state inner joined on stateid to make my all my other queries easier. That is so I can just select from the view without having to do the inner join on the state. My question is when a new record is added to table Site do I have "recreate"/update the view?
I am working on a WebMatrix ASP project. I have a query that returns a System.Data.DataSet but I don't know how to assign the DataSet to a variable so that I can run some validation tests on it.
This is what I have so far...What I want to do is assign the dataset to a variable and to see if it is NULL or Not. I don't how??? Any help would be awesome.

I have a simple SQL table. The data looks like this:
products_ID----category----product_local
1----CORE----0
2----BASE----0
3----BRANCH----1
4----LEAF----3
I need to create a SQL statement that produces all category items where that ROW's products_ID is not found in ANY product_local in the table. So in the table above only the category BASE and LEAF would be printed because their products_ID are not found in any product_local in the table.
OK, I have two cols of data: COL1 COL2 test ing tams ert test pan ted ted hom jis ted sam tams dom test ut
I need to simply pull one row of data from the given rows. Whats in COL2 is not relevant. So an example would be: I want to retrieve a row(any row, but only one) where COL1 = 'test' An ecceptable result woould be: COL1 COL2 test ing
or
COL1 COL2 test pan
or
COL1 COL2 test ut
I would appreciate any help. This is driving me nuts. Seems like it would be easy. TIA, STue
I'm using bcp to import data into my database. the datetime format in the bcp file is ymd and my database has mdy datetime format. Is there any easy way to convert ymd into mdy when using bcp?
the following Insert statement is not acting like i would expect it. The final column (Average) divides two columns([Sum of Scores] / [Count Of Scores]) . The Average column is a numeric column with 5 decimal places. Yet, the result of the division is a whole number (no fractions). Why is this.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Jim

Hi I'm new to SQL and I'm stuggling with a simple query in MS-server 2005 and wondered if anyone can help me.

I'm trying to find records in the 'user' table that DO NOT have a record in the 'stuff' table. So basically the statement should only return record 3 from the user table since there is not record in the stuff table for it. I think it a join, but I'm second guessing my self. Can some one please assist me. Thanks in advance.
A nice easy BCP question for y'all... I'm currently running:
DECLARE @sql varchar(2000)
SET @sql = 'BCP master..sysobjects OUT C:sysobjects.csv -c -t, -T -S' + @@ServerName
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql
Which works fine! But how on earth do I save it to my local PC? May sound silly, but this is one of my first adventures into BCP and I'd rather not "pollute" the server with my test files!
I'm used to forming Select statements for IBM System i imbedded SQL in High Level source programs. I now find myself converting System i RPG programs to VB.NET classes. What I want to know is how to insert the value of a class variable into a SQL Select string. In the IBM world, I would do:
Select STCTYC,STCRID,STTITL,STSTTY From CSLSTT01 Where STCTYC = :County
where County is a program defined variable. How do I get the value in the County variable into the Select string? I tried concatenation but that didn't work either. Thanks.

I have a query that I need to pass as a string as the second parameter of the OpenQuery method. Here's my query:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE last_name = 'DOE'
Thing is that a string is set with apostrophies, so I don't know how to set my string since apostrophies are alse in my query. Normally, it would look like this:
DECLARE @CQUERY VARCHAR(100) SET @CQUERY = 'SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE last_name = 'DOE''
CREATE TRIGGER test ON [Table_1] FOR DELETE AS ...... export to a text file someting like this: Date + TableName + UserName + Record with will be deleted
I've read some post that highly recommend not putting a clustered pk on identity columns. Rather use a non-clustered pk for identity pk columns. Does anyone have opinions about this? I have several reference tables that have the following structure. Since joins are made on the pk column I would guess that it would be beneficial to make the pk the clustered index, then again maybe it's better to make one of my unique indexes clustered. Any thoughts?
CREATE TABLE [company] ( [company_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [co_abbrev] [char(10)] NOT NULL , [co_name] [varchar(50)] NOT NULL , CONSTRAINT [pk_company] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [company_id] ) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 )
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [ux_company_01] ON [dbo].[company]([co_name]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [ux_company_02] ON [dbo].[company]([co_abbrev]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90
I'm creating a report from my table and I would like to take the last name field and only display the first two characters. I can't find out how to do that.
