I have this assignment where i have a table full of two digit exam scores and I have to write a function that eliminate x number of top values and x number of bottom values and return all the middle values. When the function is called, obviously a number is entered such as 3 and the top 3 and bottom 3 scores are not returned. i.e. SELECT * FROM GetMiddleValues (3);
If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this, that would be great.
I'm running the following test query on a single table:
SELECT sph.datestamp, sph.stocksymbol, sph.closing, DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp), CASE DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp) WHEN 'Monday' then 'Monday' ELSE (SELECT CAST(sph2.datestamp AS nvarchar) FROM BI_Test.dbo.StockDB AS sph2 WHERE sph2.DateStamp = DATEADD(d, -1, sph.datestamp) AND sph2.StockSymbol = 'NYA') END AS TestCase,
[Code] ....
And here's an example of the output I'm getting:
Why the exact same subquery in the THEN of the second CASE statement is returning NULL when the first one completes as expected?
I've got this sql statement that keeps returning the wrong data. (it's related to a previous post, but is different)
Code: SELECT C.NAME, OL.PART_ID, SL.SHIPPED_QTY FROM CUSTOMER C INNER JOIN USERS U ON C.ID = U.ID INNER JOIN ORDERS O ON C.ID = O.ID INNER JOIN ORDER_LINE OL ON O.ID = OL.ORDER_ID
my stored procedure performs actions of deletion and insertion. Both the inserted and deleted items are output in temp tables with single column. Is there a way to return the content of these two tables? Is there a way to return a table from the stored procedure?
HiI'm not sure what the best approach for this is:I have a stored procedure which I would like to use to return severaloutput values instead of returning a recordset.CREATE PROCEDURE Test (@param1 int, @param2 int OUTPUT, @param3 intOUTPUT) ASSELECT field2, field3 FROM Table WHERE field1 = @param1I would like to return @param2 as field2 and @param3 as field3How do I do this without using SELECT multiple times?THanks in advanceSam
I am writing a query and have the bulk of it already written.
I am looking at a table that contains customer orders. There is a column named Customer_Order.Status Available values for this column is R, F, H, and C.
I'd like for my query to return all lines that have the value R, F, H.
My where clause is written like this
WHERE CUSTOMER_ORDER.SITE_ID = 'XXX' AND CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS = ('R','H','F')
Hi, We Have Been Trying To Convert Some Pf The Procs Into Functions Of Late,but There Is A Problem :-we Have Been Unable To Return More Than 1 Table Value From A Function.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int), As Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Return End
This Works Fine :- And Gives The Reqd. Results.
But,
If I Am Using The Same Function To Return Two Tables Then It Doesn't Work,could You Pls Chk.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int),@k2 Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int) As Begin Declare @cnt Int Set @cnt = 1 While @cnt <= 2 If @cnt =1 Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Set @cnt = @cnt + 1 End If @cnt =2 Begin Insert @k2 Select @naamre,count(distinct(a.intcustomerid)) As Pura_ginti From Trcustomerpreference03july A Inner Join Cleancustomer B On A.intcustomerid = B.intcustomerid Where Chremail <> ' ' And Chremail Is Not Null And Intpreferenceid In (6,7,2,3,12,10) Set @cnt2 = @cnt2 + 1 End End Return End
Can We Return Two Tables Or Is It Not Possible ? Pls Chk Into This And Tell Me.
I have created the below function and apply it on a column in a table to replace the below identified values with Blank. It works fine but i have so many different varieties of values i need to add to ths list. Is there any way i insert these values in a table and call the values from that table instead of writing separate SET Statements.

I have a SQL function which returns a varchar(max). This gets truncated when the length is greater than 8000. Could you let me know how do I get the return value in a function without it being truncated.
I have to work with some configuration data that is stored in rows as a comma separated values. Something like this:
Key1 A,1,Z,0;B,2,Y,9;C,,8,X;
Key2 Alpha,101;Beta,102;
Each group of data is separated by a semicolon and each value by a comma. The quantity of values may vary from one key to the other. Over this values sometimes I need to run some selects, so I went with the idea to get it as a table using CLR.
There I find the first problem: I didn't find a way to return a "variable" column with a CLR function, I had to create a SP. Ok, now I execute spGetConfigurationAsTable 'Key1' and I can obtain something like this:
A 1 Z 0
B 2 Y 9
C 3 X 8
But I'm faced with a second problem: How can I run a query over this? I didn't find a way to run a query over an output of a SP. And I can't INSERT the result into a temporary table because I cannot CREATE the table static (remember the columns may differ from one configuration to the other).
So, it seemed a pretty simple task and a neat solution, but I'm kinda stuck. Is there a way to run a query over the SP output? Or is there a way to have a variable table output from a CLR UDF?
Here is the code of the CLR SP I use to obtain the data, and also the (non-working) CLR user defined function.
THANKS!

I have a stored procedure that does all the dirty work for me. I'm just having one issue. I need it to run the total number of RECORDS, and I need it to return the total number of new records for TODAY. Here is part of the code:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS TotalCount FROM CounterSELECT COUNT(*) AS TodayCount FROM Counter WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, visitdate) = Year(GetDate()) AND DATEPART(MONTH, visitdate) = Month(GetDate()) AND DATEPART(DAY, visitdate) = Day(GetDate())The statement works great, I just need to return TotalCount and TodayCount in one query. Is this possible?
I have a stored procedure that returns a numeric value. I wish to call this procedure from within another one and have the returned value stored against a declared variable. I'm struggling with the syntax!!
Hello,im having a problem integrating an SQL statement with my program,it works fine when theres a result but throws an error when there isno result,is there anyway in SQL to make up a row if there isnt one that matchesthe query for example in this i could put indicator values in thereturned fields then a simple check to see if its a proper field of myindicator fieldI know ISNULL works with single values but that only works if there isa row returnedDoes anyone know of any SQL syntax for MS SQL that when no row isreturned it makes on up and parses it backThank you in advance for your help!!Ben

I've been working this for a while. Kind of new to SQL Serverfunctions and not seeing what I am doing wrong. I have this functionCREATE FUNCTION dbo.test (@Group varchar(50))RETURNS smalldatetime ASBEGINDeclare @retVal varchar(10)(SELECT @retVal= MIN([date]) FROM dbo.t_master_schedules WHERE(event_id = 13) AND (group_ =@Group))return convert(smalldatetime, @retVal, 1)ENDThe error I get isServer: Msg 296, Level 16, State 3, Procedure test, Line 6The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted inan out-of-range smalldatetime value.1) I tried declaring @retVal as a smalldatetime and get the error "Mustdeclare the variable '@retVal'.'2) If I run that same query in query analyzer (manually inserting theparm) it returns 11/14/2006. That's what I want.If I change the function to this and run itCREATE FUNCTION dbo.test (@Group varchar(50))RETURNS varchar(50) ASBEGINDeclare @retVal varchar(50)(SELECT @retVal= MIN([date]) FROM dbo.t_master_schedules WHERE(event_id = 13) AND (group_ =@Group))return convert(smalldatetime, @retVal, 1)ENDIt now works but the return value is Nov 14 2006 12:00AMWhat am I doing wrong?TIA
I have a simple table on my webpage which shows data from my database. It all worked fine apart from one part. I wanted the select statement to select only NULL values from a column, as these are classed as open queries. Once I have closed the query a 0 or 1 will automatically be posted and will no longer have a NULL value. I have a simple select statement (which I will post on here when I log in with my work computer) and at the end I have a WHERE Column = NULL. I have also tried WHERE column <> 0.0 AND column <>1.0 and that did not work. If I only did WHERE column <> 1.0, i only get the 0.0 results and none of the NULL results, but if I have no WHERE statement I get all the results including the NULL values.
I have a table that contains an identity column. This column is updated in a stored procedure that has a linked trigger that updates another 'backup' table. How can I ensure that the value of the new row added in the table with the identity is passed back to calling client. ?
The value of @@identity is incorrect as it reflects the value in the 'backup table' not the original table. and use select max() on the original table within the stored procedure could be violated by other users attempting the same operation
I have an accounting database which contains data from various years.The frontend is a VB.Net program. At the year end, the program createsnew voucher and transaction tables and creates new stored procedures forthem.I just append the 'new year' at the end and create themie, Vouchers2001, Vouchers2002, Vouchers2003Similarly Transactions2001, Transactions2002.The data for all the years is in the same database.Also, I maintain a table called 'Books' which contains the Years forwhich data is present in the Database. The Structure of the Books tableisBookID BookYear1 20012 20023 20034 2004My Problem is that i need to know the current balance of any ledger forany year. The method to calculate the balance for any year is to startfrom the Minimum year in the Books table and continue upto the requiredyear. The SQL is as follows.DECLARE @iLedgerID AS INT --will be passed as parameterDECLARE @iYear as INT --will be passed as parameterDECLARE @CurrentBalance as MONEYSET @iLedgerID =1DECLARE @MinBook as INTEGERDECLARE @String nVarchar(4000)SELECT @MinBook = Min(BookYear)FROM BooksWHILE @MinBook <= @iYearBEGINSET @String = ' DECLARE @TT Money ' + char(13) +' SELECT @TT = ISNULL( SUM( ISNULL(Debit,0) - ISNULL(Credit,0) ),0 )'+ ' FROM transactions' + CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + ' LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Vouchers' + CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + ' ON dbo.Transactions' +CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + '.VoucherID' + ' = dbo.Vouchers' +CAST(@MinBook AS CHAR(4)) + '.VoucherID ' +'WHERE (LedgerID = @iLedgerID)'EXEC sp_executesql @String, N'@iLedgerID Int', @iLedgerID */SET @MinBook = @MinBook + 1ENDNow this is just a sample code. It may have a few glitches. My questionisa) Do I have to create a dynamic sql if the name of the database is notknown ahead of time. If No thenb) I need to add the balance of each year to the grand total. How do ireturn a value from a dynamic sql.TIA*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Hi, How to return values from stored procedures?? I have a value whose variable would be set thru this sp and it should return this value. How to do this?
I am just starting to learn about stored procs and how great they can make my world. I have been able to create a pro that does some data checking and inserts based on the results but what I have not been able to figure out is how would I pass a message from the proc to my Perl script that calls it? If anyone could point me in the right direction on what commands I should be looking into I would appreciate it.

I have a query set that returns values as part of a data set, I need a new one to return values from two queries to a single row.
select '1' as thekey, 'Total Picks' as Tot,sum(prod_qty) as picks from exceed.aseld, exceed.csymh where luis_id in ('I','E') and aseld.whse_id = 1 and ( (aseld.batch_id between goal_beg_batch and goal_end_batch and monitor_group = 'YK')
[code]....
is it possible to get the numbers from keys 1 & 2 on the same row in a new query?
Or if it is easier a query that with give me (completed picks/total picks) = a decimal I can feed to the display as a percentage.
I have data that looks like below (columns are Timestamp, Offered, Answered and Delay). I'm looking to exclude returning records that have a value for Delay that are within the top 10% of values of that column. Are there any 2005 tricks where this can be accomplished in a simple statement?
