View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I have this table called "listings"... there are 100 unique listings with an integer ID for each.
I have another table called "ratings"... in there are multiple entries that have a listing_id field and a rating field. The rating field is a value from 0-10.
I want to select ALL "listings" from the listings table... and then sort based on the average number that the multiple rating fields in the ratings table has for that listing.
I CAN NOT figure it out!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond if I have not explained this properly. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to understand why I can enter a query such as:
select 5,"random"
from customers;
and get two columns with 5 and "random" in every respective column field.Why don't I receive a syntax error ?
I am using this below query to sum and select maximum values from table. I have converted the cost column here and how can I possibly sum the cost column?
select ID, MAX(Dates) Dates,'$ ' + replace(convert(varchar(100),
convert(money, Cost), 1), '.00', '') Cost, MAX(Funded) Funded from Application group by ID, Dates, Cost, Funded
CREATE TABLE product
( product_id integer
, translated_name NVARCHAR2(50) );
insert into product values(1,N'kenenisa')
insert into product values(2,N'Ethiopia')
Note that i have used N becuase it is unicode data
then
select * from product; this works fine.
select * from product where product_id=1; this also works fine,
but
select * from product where translated_name=N'kenenisa'; this doesnot work correctly, so how can i fix this problem ?
I need to access a table and return 3 values from it in the samerecordset - ie one iteration of the recordset will have 3 values fromthe same database, I have looked at sub queries but they dont seem tobe able to do what i want.I would be grateful for any guidanceS
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've got a table with trialsubscriptions. When someone orders a trialsubscription he has to fill in a form. With the values in the form I like to fill a database with some extra fields from the trialsubscription table. I get those extra fields with a datareader. But when I insert I can't use the same datareader (its an insert), I can't make two datareaders because I have to close the first one etc.
Does someone had the same problem and has some example code (or make some :-)) Some keywords are also possible!
Thanks!

DECLARE @Query varchar(8000)
Create Table
#tempCountRichard (Status varchar(50), Number Varchar(1000)
Set @Query = 'Insert Into #tempCountRichard
Select Count(Status),
[code]...
With the following SQL. When I select from the temp table I return the right count but my second column doesn't return anything.
Count Status
1010 2000
1111 2222
When I run the query that is being inserted into the the temp table I return the correct results
Count Status
1010 Pass
2000 Pass with Obs
1111 Fail
2222 None
how to select the data from the temp table exactly the same way it was inserted. As I need to select the exact same data from the insert.
I have a table 'wRelated' with the following columns
[related_id] [int]
[channel_id] [int]
[mui] [varchar]
[price_group_id]
[type_id] [int]
[related_mui] [varchar] (100)
[date_started] [smalldatetime]
[date_ended] [smalldatetime]
[date_entered] [datetime]
[deleted] [tinyint],
[rank] [int]
data in column [mui] is repeated as the table has more than one entries for the same [mui],
The requirement is to select the distinct[mui] but value in all the other columns for the same mui should be select in the next row with null for the same [mui]
The recordset expected should be something like this.
[mui],[related_mui],[price_group_id],[date_entered],[date_ended] m123,rm345,'pr','12-10-2003',12-12-2004'
null,rm789,'ar','12-1-2003',26-2-2004'
null,rm999,'xy','14-12-2002',12-2-2004'
m777,rm889,'pr','12-12-2004',12-12-2004'
null,rm785,'yy','1-10-2002',12-12-2004'
m888,rm345,'pr','2-8-2003',12-12-2004'
null,rm345,'tt','30-7-2002',12-12-2004'
I have tried Unions and temporary table inserts.
I have two tables, D and C, whose INTERSECT / EXCEPT values I'd like to insert in the following table I've created
CREATE TABLE DinCMatch (
servername varchar(50),
account_name varchar (50),
date_checked datetime DEFAULT getdate()
)
The following stmt won't work...
INSERT INTO DinCMatch
select servername, account_name from D
intersect
select servername, account_name from C
... as the number of supplied values does not match table definition.
I have 2 identical tables one contains current settings, the other contains all historical settings.I could create a union view to display the current values from table A and all historical values from table B, butthat would also require a Variable to hold the tblid for both select statements.
Q. Can this be done with one joined or conditional select statement?
DECLARE @tblid int = 501
SELECT 1,2,3,4,'CurrentSetting'
FROM TableA ta
WHERE tblid = @tblid
UNION
SELECT 1,2,3,4,'PreviosSetting'
FROM Tableb tb
WHERE tblid = @tblid
Is there any way to know which ones are the biggest (In Mb) tables and indexes in my database?

Hi,
Now I have a task to get the second biggest number using sql query. I know that we can get the biggest number using SQL very easily: select Max(NumColumn) from aTable.
For example, I have the following records:
NumColumn
1
2
3
4
10
11
18
If I use "select Max(NumColumn) from aTable", I will get the number: 18.
But I need to use SQL to the second biggest number: 11.
How to do that? Thanks.

I am relatively new to SQL and as a project I have been asked to create the SQL for a simple database to record train details. I want to implement a check constraint which will prevent data from being inserted into a table if the weight of the train is more than the maximum towing weight of the locomotive. FOr instance, I need to add the unladen weight and maximum capacity of each wagon (located in the wagon type table) and compare it against the locomotive maximum pulling weight (the locomotive class table). I have the following SQL but it will not work:
check((select SUM(fwt.unladen_weight+fwt.maximum_payload) from
hauls as h,freight_wagon as fw,freight_wagon_type as fwt,train as t where
h.freight_wagon_serial_number = fw.freight_wagon_serial_number and
fw.freight_wagon_type = fwt.freight_wagon_type and
h.train_number = t.train_number) <
(select lc.maximum_towing_weight from locomotive_class as lc,locomotive as l,train as t where
lc.locomotive_class = l.locomotive_class and l.locomotive_serial_number = t.locomotive_serial_number))
The hauls table is where the constraint has been placed and is the intermediary table between train and freight wagon.
I may not have explained this very well; but in short, i need to compare the sum of two values in one table against a values located in another table...At present I keep getting a message telling me the sub query cannot return more than one row.
I have two tables A(uname,address,full_name) and B(uname,full_name). I want to update table A for all matching case of uname in table B.
View 5 Replies View Relatedtable2 is intially populated (basically this will serve as historical table for view); temptable and table2 will are similar except that table2 has two extra columns which are insertdt and updatedt
process:
1. get data from an existing view and insert in temptable
2. truncate/delete contents of table1
3. insert data in table1 by comparing temptable vs table2 (values that exists in temptable but not in table2 will be inserted)
4. insert data in table2 which are not yet present (comparing ID in t2 and temptable)
5. UPDATE table2 whose field/column VALUE is not equal with temptable. (meaning UNMATCHED VALUE)
* for #5 if a value from table2 (historical table) has changed compared to temptable (new result of view) this must be updated as well as the updateddt field value.
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 table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:
([Sales Units]*[AUR])
([Comp Sales Units]*[Comp AUR])
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
The new formulas need to look like the following:
([cSalesUnits]*[cAUR])
([cCompSalesUnits]*[cCompAUR])
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
DECLARE @Synonyms TABLE
(
UserFriendlyName VARCHAR(128)
, SystemNames VARCHAR(128)
)
INSERT INTO @Synonyms
( UserFriendlyName, SystemNames )
[Code] .....
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
How can I code a stored procedure to do this?
Hi,I have a query like this :SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ...The problem is that I don't want to return the results where x3 isNULL.Writing :SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ... AND x3 IS NOT NULLdoesn't work.The only solution I found is to write :SELECT * FROM((SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ...) AS R1)WHERE R1.x3 IS NOT NULLIs there a better solution? Can I use an EXISTS clause somewhere totest if x3 is null without having to have a 3rd SELECT statement?There's probably a very simple solution to do this, but I didn't findit.Thanks

I check to see if table_a matches table_b...if not i update table a with table b's value where FundID match up.What i'm having trouble on is if there is no record in table_a but there is a record in table_b. How can I insert that record into table_a? I would like to do all of this (the update and insert statement in one stored proc. if possible. )If anyone has this answer please let me know.Thanks,RB
