I've this Stored procedure on a SQLserver 2000 SP3:
SELECT *,CASE immagine WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS hasImage
FROM Squadre WHERE squadra = @squadra
this is a flag that returns if the image field is present or not..
i've a lot of this type of stored procedures.. but this one returns me an error..
---------------------------
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)

An i can't save.. why?
reme,ber that in the same Db there's other Stored like this.. the same syntax and the same field or table.. can anyone help me??
When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 = CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END , fieldname2 , fieldname3 FROM tablename1 GROUP BY CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
I am trying to order by the field and direction as provided by input parameters @COLTOSORTBY and @DIR while using a CTE and assigning Row_Number, but am running into syntax errors.
Say I have a table called myTable with columns col1,col2,col3,
Here's what I'm trying to do
with myCTE AS ( Select col1 ,col2 ,col3 ,row_number() over (order by case when(@DIR = 'ASC') then
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 asc when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 asc else col3 asc end else
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 desc when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 desc else col3 desc end end from myTable )
Please let me know what i can do with minimal code repetition and achive my goal of dynamically sorting column and direction. I do not want to use dynamic SQL under any circumstance.
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.
I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ; however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks J declare @date set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc
I am trying to write a Procedure in SQL 2005 that retreives a list of rows from the database. I pass to the procedure sorting parameters. This procedure works fine for all of the fields that I enter in the Order By, except for one. The field that does not work is a varchar(500) field (named Description). I am not sure what the problem is. The error that I am getting is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 13
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
Attached is the T-SQL Code. The declare and set statements in the beginning are for informational purposes. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ declare @Match varchar(75)
WHERE CONTAINS (ci.Keywords, @Match) AND ShowOnWeb=1
)
SELECT catitems.ID,
catitems.SupplierCode,
catitems.Description,
catitems.AUDIO_LINK,
catitems.HighCost,

Hi, I have a concern about adding a new field to a table with image field - which is huge. Will there be a problem with some databases, where they have a hard time locating data correctly after such a large field? Previously this happened to me, and what was advised to put all the big fields at the end of the table. Thanks.
I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END, shipment_status_text = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 'Condition 1 text' WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 'Condition 2 text' WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 'Condition 3 text' WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 'Condition 4 text' ELSE 'Error' END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block ...beginning of SQL view... shipment_status = CASE [logic for condition 1] THEN 1 WHEN [logic for condition 2] THEN 2 WHEN [logic for condition 3] THEN 3 WHEN [logic for condition 4] THEN 4 ELSE 0 END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END, ...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END

Hi,Tasks in a MS Project SQL Server database have an image field calledTASK_RTF_NOTES. It contains text in RTF format. We would like to convertthis within a standard SQL statement into plain text.I suspect this is not possible without some sort of bolt-on, or at the veryleast using T-SQL in some way.Any ideas?Thanks,Gareth

I have uploaded word docs to the db which is fine. The problem is viewing. I can view then as word documents but the boss does not want the files opened in word.
Is it possable to retrieve the file from from the db and put into say a textbox or lable.
I can see the letter P using this code
Dim Doc() As Byte = New Byte(Convert.ToInt32(0)) {} Dim bytesReceived As Long = DBContent.GetBytes(0, 0, Doc, 0, Doc.Length)
Dim encoding As ASCIIEncoding = New ASCIIEncoding lblTest.Text = encoding.GetString(Doc, 0, Convert.ToInt32(bytesReceived)).ToString
does anyone know a way, using native SQL, to store a result of a query in an image field of a certain table.
The case is we have a selfmade replication to communicate with several SQL servers in stores, this replication is over a telephone line. So we collect all the data using SQL statements and store them in a separate table as an image field. This is done know through a Delphi application that streams the resultset to a image field.
I am hoping someone will be able to help me with this. i have a table of accountholders with the following fields account_no account_name image_path the image_path field has a defaultvalue images/***.jpg I am looking for a query code to update the value in the image_path field by replacing the *** value with the value of the

If the data type of field is "varchar",we can use "like" to query if it hassome substring.Such as "where custom.valuevariant like '%Verizon%' ", it will query out allrecords that contains string "Verizon".But how to do when data type of field custom.valuevariant is "image"?Thanks
I am creating a document management systems using asp. I have beenresearching the different ways of handling the documents such as using thefile system and storing the path in the db, and actually storing thedocument in the db. I like the idea of storing it in the database muchbetter because I can allow users to manage documents themselves (I alreadyhave the code in place to do it if I decide), having a central system withthe ability to add my own document properties by adding fields to the table,security, and backups. I have found that most think it is better to storethe path due to performance issues and the rate the db can grow. I havelooked at our current system in access and we have a total of 4400 documents(of which probably 25% are in the database but don't actually exist anymorein the file system, one hangup about the file system) since 1988. Thiscomes to about 300 documents added each year. The other thing is the issuewith the size of the db. I don't see a whole lot of difference with thisissue because it is going to take up space in your file system too, althoughthe file system may be more efficient at storing them. I would say that 95%of our docs are under 1 mb in size and done in ms word.The last thing is using full-text search capabilities in SQL Server. I needto be able to search the contents of the field.Is there other issues around storing documents in the db to consider besidesthe above?
I have a very large array of floating point numbers which I am tryingtostore in an image type field. I am using the dataset class todirectly enter the data but am having trouble trying to get this typeinto the image field. I guess the question is how do I get a largefloating point array into an image (byte)field of a database using thedataset class for new row entry.Thanks
I need some help in SSIS Package I am trying to write a byte array to an image (blob) in DB2 destination. I am getting SQL code -290 Invalid Description, if i set the output column to a byte stream. If I set the output column to an Image data type then I get a different error the package will not at that time even process it errors out right away. At least using a byte stream datatype it errors out when it is about to write to the olebd destination. Anybody have success using BLOB fields in SSIS package data flow? Thanks for any help.
I have .wav file data stored in an Image field in sql server 2005. Do you know of any sample code to play the sound in a windows forms app (C#)? (This post is just a lame effort to avoid about week of experiments.)
