How To Generate Serial Numbers In Select Statement
Aug 3, 2007
My problem is one of my query is returing
party_codes . now i also want a column which returns
serial numbers along with it . the serial numbers are
not stored anywhere. they should be autogenerated. My
query is combining two different databases and its
using union in it so i can not use count in it . Is
there any other way i can acheive .
for eg
Now my query output is
party_code
----------
R06048
R06600
R06791
(3 row(s) affected)
I want it like
party_code serial number
---------- -------------
R06048 1
R06600 2
R06791 3
(3 row(s) affected)
The serial number column should be auto generated in
the select statement it self
Is there any system rowid i can use .
Please suggest

Hi,I have a table that has an ID field which is automatically incremented as each new record is added, so if I do a SELECT * FROM Table1 I get:ID, Name1, Billy2, Bob3, TonyYou get the idea. What I want to do is format the number differently when it's returned from an SQL statement so I get:ID, Name0001, Billy0002, Bob0003, TonySo I need something like SELECT FORMATNUMBER(ID, 4), Name FROM Table1 - Does anything like this exist?Little 'un.
I have a table that have ID_Number,Telephone_Number,Contract_No and Telephone_Type. lets say one id_number has one contract_no with different telephone_numbers and Telephone_Type so now what i wanna know is how can i select any 2 numbers if i have more that 3 per id_number in my table bear in mind that my table has about 200 000 rows. example:
ID_Number Tel_Number Contract_No Tel_Type 123 555-22 5 home 123 444-12 5 Business 123 546-12 5 Cell
I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
I have seen in Enterprise manager there is a toll that can script the all tables in a database, but nothing that can generate the insert statements for all the rows in each table in a secified database.
Does any one know of a application, plug in, script that can generate the insert statments for all the tables in a database?
I'm trying to generate an update statement based off select statement results. A very basic example,
SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2Results return 3 rows. 1234 2345 3456
How can I take those results and turn them into WHERE criteria for UPDATE statement?
Generated UPDATE statement should look like this.
UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (1234,2345,3456)
I have started by creating a temp table to hold my SELECT results, but I don't know how to get those results into format for IN condition. Right now I get 3 UPDATE statements with 1 ListID in each IN condition.
CREATE TABLE #TempStatusUpdate(ListID INT) INSERT INTO #TempStatusUpdate SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2 SELECT 'UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),ListID) + ') AND Status = 2' DROP TABLE #TempStatusUpdate

Code Block SELECT [userID], CASE WHEN [mdlName] = NULL AND [mdnName] = NULL THEN [lstName] + ', ' + [fstName] WHEN [mdlName] <> NULL AND [mdnName] <> NULL THEN [lstName] + ', ' + [fstName] + ' ' + [mdlName] + ' ' + [mdnName] WHEN [mdlName] <> NULL AND [mdnName] = NULL THEN [lstName] + ', ' + [fstName] + ' ' + [mdlName] WHEN [mdnName] <> NULL AND [mdlName] = NULL THEN [lstName] + ', ' + [fstName] + ' ' + [mdnName] END AS [Full Name] FROM [grUser] ORDER BY [Full Name] ASC
The [Full Name] is always null. Any idea why? What I'm trying to do is if mdlName (middle name) and mdnName (maiden name) is null then display the lstName (last name) and fstName (first name) only and so on.
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
hiI need to write a stored procedure that takes input parameters,andaccording to these parameters the retrieved fields in a selectstatement are chosen.what i need to know is how to make the fields of the select statementconditional,taking in consideration that it is more than one fieldaddedfor exampleSQLStmt="select"if param1 thenSQLStmt=SQLStmt+ field1end ifif param2 thenSQLStmt=SQLStmt+ field2end if
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810 8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760 22810
Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.
