Hi all,
How to find a particular field from a table? I have so many tables in my DB and I don't know the table name which has the field.
HOW can i get the percentage for each rank?

I have a part number field which contains whole numbers. (1 - 5000+) however there are gaps in the numbers e.g. Part Number 3876 maybe missing. The table has new parts inserted from a VB Client. Im trying to write a stored procedure where when a user trys to run an update without entering a part number the first missing part number is found. If they do provide a part number then their number is committed as long as it is unique. I've tried using cursors but am not sure on the best approach. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I want to be able to use a query to display all the records in the 6.5 database that have no data in the STATUS field. This is the query I thought would work....."SELECT * from travel_date WHERE status="''"
But, that is not working. Can someone please help me figure out the right way to wrtie this?
I appreciate your help!
I need to find all items in an inventory table where a field has been unticked in the last 24 hours (there is no audit trail), as well as the contract number of the contract it has been added to (it will not have existed in that table before).
These are the two table querys in their basic form:
select item (nvarchar(20)), inactive (bit) from inventory
select item (nvarchar(20) , contract (nvarchar(20)) , original_start_rent (datetime) from deltickitem
I would like to see just the item number and the contract number it has been added to.
I am using sql server as back end. Through connection string

Hello,
Not sure how to do this. I think I need to use a Group By query. I have a "Products" table with the following fields:
Program#
Number
UPC
Item
Item#
Size
Dept
Everything is specific to the Program#. In other words, for every instance of a Program# there can be more than one Product, which is specified by the "Number" field. So: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE [Program#] = '12345' should return this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 3 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
However, some recordsets are returning like this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
In which case I have to fix them (the "Number" field) with an update query sp they are numbered sequentially. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often.
Can someone help me with a query that will return only those records with duplicate values in the "Number" field? I am not sure how to construct this query which I will use as a stored procedure.
TIA,

Hello Experts,
I tried to retreive an input column using GetVirtualInputColumnByName, to map it with output, it gave error. I found that it is because the value passed bstrName parameter was in different case. say for example in the column it is "ColNo1" where as in the GetVirtualInputColumnByName i used "Colno1".
Can anyone tell, Is there anyway to find the column in a case in-sensitive way?
Thanks.
Hi
I have a really simple query which i can't figure out why its not working. I have a table called 'ADMIN' which has a datetime field called 'date_edited'. Because the majority of records have never been edited, i have allowed null values and they are filled with 'NULL' in each record. How ever, when i try:
SELECT * FROM ADMIN WHERE date_edited = NULL
I get no records, but i can see and know i have hundreds! I know i'm doing somthing really stupid, but for life of me can't figure it out! :eek:
thanks
The "Last" function in the query below (line 4 & 5) is not exactly what I'm after. The last function finds the last record in that table, but i need to find the most recent record in the table according to a date field.
Code:
SELECT
tblinmate.statusid,
tblinmate.activedate,
Last(tblclassificationhistory.classificationid) AS LastOfclassificationID,
Last(tblsquadhistory.squadid) AS LastOfsquadID,
tblperson.firstname,
tblperson.middlename,
tblperson.lastname,
[Code] ....
The query below finds the most recent record in a table according to a date field, my problem is i dont know how to integrate this Query into the above to replace the "Last" function
Code:
SELECT a.inmateID,
a.classificationID,
b.max_date
FROM (
SELECT tblClassificationHistory.inmateID,
tblClassificationHistory.classificationID,
[Code] .....
How can i find the primary field name and primary table name of a given foreign key.
For example
Table A:
IDa
Column1
Column2
Column3
Table B:
IDb
column1
column2
column3 <---- this is foreign key to table A's IDa
What i want to do is i pass input of tableB, column3 and i get name of Primary tableA and field name IDa. How is it possible to do in tsql ?
Hello all,I'm at a loss on how to do this. We're using MS SQL 2000 Server and Ihave a list of fields I need to find the first and last entry for.Here's an example of the table:Number - VarChar(10)Jan - IntFeb - IntMar - IntApr - IntMay - IntJune - IntANd it'll look something like this:NumberJanFebMarAprMayJun12322001901922012032054432433322 4565423754694665And I need to create a table with this:NumberFirstLastDifference123220020554432433456235423754665-89I'm not sure if this'll copy over correctly, but I have gaps in thedata so I can't just say Jun-Jan, but I need tofind the first fieldwith data and last field with data, then find the difference of these.Suggestions? Is there a loop or something I can do in TSQL that'll dothis? I'd like to do this in Query Analyzer since it's just a one-timereport. Thanks --Alex

Currently I have the following stored procedure which simply adds a new row in my SQL Express 2005. What I want is that -1). before inserting the record find out the new ID (primary key) value. (ID is automatically a sequential integer generated by SQL Server)2). and set COMPANY_ID = (new) ID Any thoughts? Thanks ALTER PROCEDURE usp_tbl_Company_Insert @Company_ID int, @Name varchar(200), AS<FIND THE NEW ID of the new row in the database> @Company_ID = (new ID) INSERT INTO tbl_Company (Company_ID, Name,)VALUES (@Company_ID, @Name)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.

'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.
how do i search a column and find all rows where there is a single ' in the column?

I need help with a simple query. We have 86 entries with the City of O'Fallon in our db. How do I do this with the apostrophe in O'Fallon? Below is just to give an idea of what I want. Thanks.
SELECT *
FROM Organization
WHERE City=O'Fallon
I get this error when the user inputs a word with an apostrophe:
Incorrect syntax near 't'. Unclosed quotation mark before the character string '
Using c# this is the input command:
oCom=new SqlCommand(string.Format("INSERT INTO [database] ([name],[address], [issue],[comments],[timestamp]) VALUES({0},'{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}",val[0],val[1],val[2],txtComment.Text,tmStamp),oCon);
When users enter a comment with an aprostrophe it gives me an error, using a session array and convert it to a string[].
Any ideas?
Thanks
we need to cut the aprostrophe out of a name (ie...o'brien, o'leary) to create userid's... can this be done....thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
Suggestions gratefully received!
Mark
Ok, I still have some uncertainty as to just exactly how this whole apostrophe thing works with databases. I understand that it is a reserved character and so when a sql query runs into one of these creatures it looks at it as something other than a normal character.
I am working primarily in vb/asp/sql server with a little bit of access. I am familiar with the instrinsic 'Replace' function and I use it but I still have occassional problems.
I would like any information I can get on just exactly why/how this thing works and how to work-around the apostrophe when writing to, reading from, and validating data from sql server/access/any databases.
Thanks!
I am having weird trouble with READING data from my Access database where the field has an apostrophe - but only when I display the field in a textbox.
For example, the field "Don't do this" becomes "Don" when my SQL query outputs the result:
campaignID = rscampaign("campaign")
response.write "<input type='hidden' name='campaignid1' value='" & campaignID & "'>"
If I output to regular HTML (e.g. in a <P> tag), the field displays correcly.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I can't figure out why the textbox would be creating this problem...
replace(lastname," ' '",'"x"') (spaces for clarity only)
Result:
Invalid column name ' ' '.
How do I get around the invalid column name?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'
Hey I have what I think is a simple question. How would i insert an apostrophe into a sql string without getting an error. Thanks in advance
View 5 Replies View RelatedOK so I need to use a dynamic SQL statement in a SqlDataSource object because I need to pass in the column name. I'm having trouble accounting for the apostophes I have to interpret literals within the statement. This is connecting to an Oracle database.
This is what I originally tried...
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT m.YIE, :selecteditem, m.ENDTIME FROM MyMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE 'YC%' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE 'YCX%' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selecteditem" ControlID="itemlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
And the second column returned as :selecteditem for the column name and the value of itemlabel.text (what I wanted to be the column that was queried) as the value in each of the rows of that column. So I tried dynamic SQL to put the value of itemlabel.txt as the column to be queried, but I'm not sure how to get the query to read the literals. How can I accomplish this?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MY_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="EXEC('SELECT m.YIE, '+selectedbin+', m.ENDTIME FROM MMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE '+paramlike+' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE '+paramnotlike+' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)')"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selectedbin" ControlID="binlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramlike" ControlID="Label1" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramnotlike" ControlID="Label2" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
This errors to "illegal variable name"
Can someone help me out please? Thanks a lot.

Hi all,I am not sure this question will belong to a sql group or .net.but the problem I have is, my data entry forms crashes when some enter a apostrophe character in one of the field. that field is of type varchar in sql server 2000.for ex, Ryan O'neill will crash the application.
I have a drop down list of all my crew names in my form.what should I need to do to allow user to add apostrophe and not to have application crash?Please help it is very urgent.Thank You,
I have a brain teaser for you all.
The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).
The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example:
SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable'
EXEC(@strSQL)
Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.
I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?
TIA
