After inserting several records I tried a 'Select * from timecards' and the inserted records where not selected. if I 'select * from timecards order by employee' ( or any other field) the inserted records are selected! The table was created by an Access Upsize command.
Any suggestions?

I used Express Manager ( XM ) to try the select statements. That is how I isolated the problem. Even using a "Select * from timecards where employee = 'test' " returns the inserted test records. I found that if I use a WHERE or ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement to .fill the .net dataset, all records are returned.
I am familiar with DB2 but I am a newbie at VB.NET and MSSQL
Any suggestions?

I am building an invoicing database. I have no problems searching fordue dates and generating the invoice header. The problem is generatingthe invoice detail.My customers may have more than one item that needs to go into theinvoice detail table.For example:customer #123 has 2 items that need to be placed into the detailtable.Rate 1 email accountRate 2 hosting accountI have to get both of these records into the detail table.When using the conventional method, I get something alongthe lines of" insert failed. more than one record was returned"-------INSERT INTO detailSELECT (SELECT max([id])FROM iheader),CustomerRates.custid,rates.Price, rates.nameFROM CustomerRates INNER JOIN Rates ON CustomerRates.Rateid = rates.IDWHERE NextBill > GETDATE()-------I have even considered a cursor to loop through the records but I cantmake it run properly. I am not crazy about the performance of cursorsanyway.Any aideas would be greatly apreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to MS SQL and VB. I have a table with one field JOB_NAME containing 20 records. Out of that field I want to retrieve 6 of the 20 records into a pulldown menu. They are all unique text names like so:
Anna Smith
John Doe
etc. I did not see IDs listed for any of the names in the table when I looked.
There is no common denominator to the names that can be filtered in the SELECT statement, and the 6 that I want will need to be pulled out individually.
Is there a way to do this with a SELECT statement? I have not found much information about how to extract unique records out of a single field. Here's the statement I'm using which pulls all of them:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT JOB_NAME AS Names FROM [WORKER_NAMES] WHERE JOB_NAME<>' ' ORDER BY JOB_NAME ASC"
This gives me the total list but I only want to bring back 6 of the 20 for the pulldown.
Is there a way to modify this statement to pull only the records that I want?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I have 2 tables in a 1: n relation. How can i get a select statement that the field in the n-relation with outputs, separated by a semicolon; Example: One person have many Job Titles
Table1 (tblPerson)
Table2 (tblTitles)
1, "John", "Miller", "Employee; Admin; Consultant"
2, "Joan", "Stevens", "Employee, Software Engineer, Consultant"
and so on .... 1 in select statement:
I want to update records in 1 table with the result of a select statement.
The table is called 'MPR_Portfolio_Transactions' and contains the following fields:
[PTR_SEQUENCE]
,[PTR_DATE]
,[PTR_SYMBOL]
,[PTR_QUANTITY]
,[PTR_ACUM]
And the select statement is like this:
SELECT SUM(PTR_QUANTITY) OVER (PARTITION BY PTR_SYMBOL ORDER BY PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE) AS 'ACUMULADO'
FROM MPR_portfolio_transactions
ORDER BY PTR_SYMBOL, PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE
This select statement generates one line per existing record. And what I would like to do next is to UPDATE the field 'PTR_ACUM' with the result of the 'ACUMULADO'
the key is PTR_SEQUENCE
I am trying to add multiple records to my table (insert/select).
INSERT INTO Users
( User_id ,
Name
)
SELECT ( SELECT MAX(User_id) + 1
FROM Users
) ,
Name
But I get the error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Users'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Users'.
But I am using the max User_id + 1, so it can't be duplicate
This would insert about 20 records.
Why the error?
Can Somebody please show me how to acheive this, using the order details in Northwinddatabase or any other good example. as much details as possible. Many Thanks!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to recursively select all records within a hierarchy, using the main parentid and a textvalue on level 1 OR level 2 of the subcategories.
My data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[articlegroups](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,

[catlevel] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[slug_en] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,

When selecting rows I always have the main parentId (so catlevel 0) and the slug_en value.
In my example case I have id 129 and slug_en='cradles'.
I want my query to then return:
idparentidcatlevel
12900
1301291
1361302If I have id 129 and slug_en='pillows'.
I want my query to then return:
idparentidcatlevel
12900
1391291
How can I do this? I'm new to SQL Server. I was reading here [URL] .... on recursive SQL, but how to implement this as I just have one table and I also have 2 selection criteria (main category id and a text value on either level 1 or 2).

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)

In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY

It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..
I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).
Is there a method to convert "Select * From Table" to "Select field1,field2,...fieldn From Table" ?
Thanks
I need to write a select statement that take the upper table and select the lower table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

I have a query that has the following structure
Select *
From Table
Where Condition And ... (some 'Exists' conditions)
When I run the query using field names the query gets much slower, and I cannot understand Why!
Select MyField
From Table
Where Condition And ... (some 'Exists' conditions)
I'm talking about three times slower using the Select MyField sintax.
Any ideas???

Hi there,

I can't use
Quote: SELECT TOP 10 * FROM table WHERE id > 10
because even though my ID is auto numbered, but I have deleted some entries.
Does anyone have good solutions?
p.s I tried this and doesn't work either
Quote: SELECT TOP 10 * FROM table WHERE id IN(SELECT TOP 20 * FROM table ORDER by date DESC) ORDER BY date ASCENDING
