I have an if statement for one of my columns in my query.
I want to write the if statement as a part of my select statement.
How would I do that. Do to a couple of rules I am not allowed to write a stored procedure for this.
I could use the "decode function" but
I have something like this:
if column1 = '1' or column2 = '2' then select "Yes" etc..
I tried doing select decode (column1 or column2, , , ) but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Hello friends, I want to use select statement in a CASE inside procedure. can I do it? of yes then how can i do it ?
following part of the procedure clears my requirement.
SELECT E.EmployeeID, CASE E.EmployeeType WHEN 1 THEN select * from Tbl1 WHEN 2 THEN select * from Tbl2 WHEN 3 THEN select * from Tbl3 END FROM EMPLOYEE E
can any one help me in this? please give me a sample query.
Just wonder whether is there any indicator or system parameters that can indicate whether stored procedure A is executed inside query analyzer or executed inside application itself so that if execution is done inside query analyzer then i can block it from being executed/retrieve sensitive data from it?
What i'm want to do is to block someone executing stored procedure using query analyzer and retrieve its sensitive results. Stored procedure A has been granted execution for public user but inside application, it will prompt access denied message if particular user has no rights to use system although knew public user name and password. Because there is second layer of user validation inside system application.
However inside query analyzer, there is no way control execution of stored procedure A it as user knew the public user name and password.
Looking forward for replies from expert here. Thanks in advance.
Note: Hope my explaination here clearly describe my current problems.
iam trying to rerieve a certain value from one table and i want to use that vaue inside a UDF iam usinf a table valued function as i have to retireve no of values Can i do something like this to retrieve the value
SET @Value=Select Value from Table WHERE xyz='some no.' as this value is being calculated by some other fucntion and now this funcation has to use this at runtime.
Hi All, Can we use the while loop inside a select statement? Meaning, something like this:
Code Block SELECT DATE, WHILE (SELECT TOP 1 DATEPART(HH,DATE) FROM SC_DATEDIMENSION_TABLE) <= 23 (SELECT DATEADD(HH,6,SC_DATEDIMENSION_TABLE.DATE) ) FROM SC_DATEDIMENSION_TABLE
What I want to do here is I have a table which has all the dates but with time only representing 00 hrs. I want to display this column and along side, I want to have another column, which displays the date split at 6 hours. So, one left column, there will 4 columns on the right.
If I start a transaction using the following approach ... using (SqlTransaction trans = destConn.BeginTransaction()) { ...do some transfers using SqlBulkCopy }...will an automatic rollback occur in case of unhandled errors inside the scope of the using statement?
Can someone please take a quick look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong I'm sure it's something simple. I'm a little new to stored procedures but I've been using SQL and T-SQL for quite some time, I've just always used inline queries with my ASP. This procedure needs to be run monthly by me or another person I grant access to and will update sales information that our sales staff will be paid commission on. I need to supply the start date and and end date for the query and it will pull this information from our business system which is hosted remotely by a third party and pull it into our local SQL server where we can run commission reports against it. (I hope this is enough information you can understand where I'm trying to go with this). I know my problem right now lies in how I'm trying to call the variable inside of my T-SQL. Any help is appreciated. This is an old Unix system and it stores the date as YYYYMMDD as numeric values incase someone wonders why I have dimed my dates as numeric instead of as datetime =) I'm using a relativity client to create an ODBC connection to the UNIX server and then using a linked server to map a connection in SQL this is the reason for the OpenQuery(<CompanyName> SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO -- ============================================= -- Author: XXXXXXXXXXXXX -- Create date: 10/4/2007 -- Description: This proc is designed to pull all CSA -- part sales from XXXXXX business system and upload them -- into the local XXXXXXXX Database for commission reporting -- =============================================CREATE proc usp_CSAPartsSalesUpdate@date1 int, @date2 int As INSERT INTO CSAPartsSales ( CSA, CustomerNumber, CustomerName, Location, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceDate, InvoiceAmount ) SELECT SalesRoute, HInvCust, CustOrCompName, HInvLoc, HInvNo, HInvDate, HInvAmt From OpenQuery(<CompanyName>, 'Select CPBASC_All.SalesRoute, PMINVHST.HInvCust, CPBASC_All.CustOrCompName, PMINVHST.HInvLoc, PMINVHST.HInvNo, PMINVHST.HInvDate, PMINVHST.HInvAmtFROM PMINVHST INNER JOIN CPBASC_All ON PMINVHST.HInvCust = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo WHERE (((PMINVHST.HInvAmt)<>0) AND ((PMINVHST.HInvDate)>=''' + @date1 + ''' And (PMINVHST.HInvDate)<=''' + @date2 + ''') AND ((Trim([CPBASC_All].[SalesRoute]))<>'''' And (Trim([CPBASC_All].[SalesRoute]))<>''000''))')
In this example date1 will be equal to 20070901 and date2 will be equal to 20070930 so I can pull all CSA sales for the month of September. This is the error message I get when I try to create the proc: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_CSAPartsSalesUpdate, Line 17 Incorrect syntax near '+'. ~~~ Thanks All~~~
Hi, can you add a counter inside a select statement to get a unique id line of the rows? In my forum i have a page that displays a users past posts in the forum, these are first sorted according to their topicID and then they are sorted after creation date. What i want is in the select statement is to create a counter to get a new numeric order. This is the normal way: SELECT id, post, comment, created FROM forum_posts WHERE (topicID = @topicID) ... some more where/order by statements This is what i want: DECLARE @tempCounter bigintSET @tempCounter = 0SELECT @tempCounter, id, post, comment, created FROM forum_posts WHERE (topicID = @topicID)... some more where/order by statements and at the end.. (SELECT @tempCounter = @tempCounter + 1) Anyone know if this can be done?
I have a need to execute a cursor inside a select statment, but I'm having problems figuring this out. The reason this need to be inside a select statement is that I am inserting the cursor logic into a query expression in PeopleSoft Query.
So! Here's the statement that works:
====================== DECLARE @fixeddate datetime DECLARE @CVG_ELECT char(1) DECLARE @Effdt datetime DECLARE EFFDTS CURSOR FOR SELECT Z.EFFDT, COVERAGE_ELECT FROM PS_LIFE_ADD_BEN Z WHERE Z.EMPLID = '1000' AND Z.EFFDT <= GETDATE() AND Z.PLAN_TYPE = '20' ORDER BY Z.EFFDT DESC OPEN EFFDTS FETCH NEXT FROM EFFDTS INTO @Effdt, @CVG_ELECT WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN if @CVG_ELECT <> 'E' break ELSE SET @fixeddate = @Effdt FETCH NEXT FROM EFFDTS INTO @Effdt, @CVG_ELECT END
CLOSE EFFDTS DEALLOCATE EFFDTS PRINT @fixeddate
====================== If I execute this in SQL Query Analyzer it gives me the data I am looking for. However, if I try to paste this into a select statement, it goes boom (actually, it says "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DECLARE'.", but you get the idea).
Is it possible to encapsulate this inside a select statement?
hi all, i'm wondering if i can use one stored procedure in too cases, this is the senario: i have stored procedure for admin and another one for user, they have the same select everything is the same except that in admin SP i have where @admin = admin and for user i have where @user = user if there a way to use if and else to make this happen this is what i did so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE [test] @admin INT, @user INT, @indexType INT as if @indexType = 1
begin
SELECT * FROM table WHERE something IN (SELECT * FROM anothertable where admin = @admin) end else begin SELECT * FROM table WHERE user = @user end GO
I need to run a sequel statement in a stored procedure and get if it found any records because the next statements depend on if records were found or not. How do I do this?
For some reason whenever I look at the SQL statement of a particular table, the table name displays twice.For example,SELECT * FROM State StateEven when I execute this statement, it still returns the correct results. It does this for all tables in this particular database. I also check another database and thoses display the table names in the SQL statements correctly. Does anyone know why the table name would display twice in a table inside of a particular database?
I have to generate a report on the fly. The display fields, parameters and sort conditions would be user specified at run time in a ASP.NET web form. There will be a superset of the display, filter and sort fields out of which the user cans select one or more.
From the web form, i am taking these three parts as three strings and sending them as parameters to a Stored Procedure. The Stored Procedure will read each string, and identify what are the individual fields and generates the result accordingly.
So here my requirement is that Reporting Services must read the Stored Procedure, create a dataset and even create the User Interface all at run-time as we do not know what fields are displayed at design time. The Headers for each field come from the Stored Procedure. I have to show the report based on what are the fields in the Stored procedure at that instance of time.
In C# .NET I have the possible to create some validations of my data, with regulary expressions. Do SQL have the same feature? I will like to do an data validation of all my insert statement inside the sql-server. Is that possible?
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to use IF inside a query, in the WHERE statement? I started with the query right below, but I onlye got error. After testing and rewriting a lot I ended up with the last query. But there hast to be a better, smarter, more elegant way to write this query? Any hint? ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[LinksInCategory]-- =============================================-- Description: Return all links from the requested category.-- ============================================= (@CategoryId int, @AdminFilter bit)AS SELECT Link.Id, Link.Title, Link.Url, Link.ShortText, Link.Hidden FROM Link WHERE Link.Parent = @CategoryId IF (@AdminFilter = 1) print 'AND Link.Hidden = @AdminFilter' ORDER BY Link.Title ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[LinksInCategory]-- =============================================-- Description: Return all NOT hidden links from the requested category.-- If in Administrators role the return ALL links (the hidden ones also).-- ============================================= (@CategoryId int, @AdminFilter bit)AS IF (@AdminFilter = 1) BEGIN SELECT Link.Id, Link.Title, Link.Url, Link.ShortText, Link.Hidden FROM Link WHERE Link.Parent = @CategoryId ORDER BY Link.Title END ELSE BEGIN SELECT Link.Id, Link.Title, Link.Url, Link.ShortText, Link.Hidden FROM Link WHERE Link.Parent = @CategoryId AND Link.Hidden = @AdminFilter ORDER BY Link.Title END Regards, Sigurd
I'm wondering if it is possible to use IF statements in a query, for example if this was my query:
SELECT Asset, Source, Val1, Val2, Val3 FROM tableA
Say the sign of the Vals is always positive, but based on if the Source field is null i want to make the Vals negative. Could I do something like this:
Hi to all,I just need to get two fields from a table and manipulate the resultsin next query of a procedure.I planned to code like what you seebelow,create procedure marks1as@ sql1 as varchar(50)@ sql1=select registerno ,subjectcode from mark;beginselect * from marksetting where registerno='@sql1.registerno' andsubjectcode='@sql1.subjectcode';endcan it be possible to get the results as shown in the code? elsepropose an alternative for this scenario.Thanks in Advance.
For inserting current date and time into the database, is it more efficient and performant and faster to do getDate() inside SQL Server and insert the value OR to do System.DateTime.Now in the application and then insert it in the table? I figure even small differences would be magnified if there is moderate traffic, so every little bit helps. Thanks.
Hi all, I have a website under development. when trying to load page for the first time, I am getting sometimes a timeout error messege. My guess is that one of the queries is problematic and takes too long. I need to track the problematic query. one way to do that is using the ASP trace option. So this is what I did and I got the below error. the error as I can see is inside a BEGIN_INIT function, but I dont have a fnction like this in my code. Do you have any suggestion how to track? here is the trace code: Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.210

Hi! I'm creating a social network, and in one page I need to compare each result of the datalist to a value of a table in my database. For example, I have the datalist showing all the entries in the table users, and when I am showing this information, I want each dataitem to be compared to a select statement of the friends of the logged in user, so that if that datalistitem is present in the results of that other select, I will change the text of a field to say "already a friend". If the user is not present in that select, ie is not a friend of the user who is logged in, the text will say "add friend". I have this comparison working already for a specific name, but not for the database query. Can anyone please help me?

hi there, I saw a similar thread before but i've tried it and no luck. I want run a query off a database (stawebdata.branchinfo) then a join into bluepages.phonelist
i've tired
JOIN bluepages.phonelist p
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'JOIN'.
any ideas... is this possible?
complete code below:
select DISTINCT b.name, b.tel1, b.id, b.telprivate,b.sc, b.manager,b.branchEmail from branchInfo b inner JOIN bluepages.phonelist p on b.name = p.subdepartment where b.name like 'Sarah' or b.id LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.county LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.Area LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.Manager LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.AssistantManager LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.Postcode LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.PseudoCity LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.TicketingTA LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.SLC LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.ItineraryTA LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.TIDS LIKE '%@keyword%' OR b.ABTA LIKE '%@keyword%' and p.department = 'UK Branch' and b.isbranch <> 'False' or (p.lastName = '@keyword' or p.firstname = '@keyword') order by b.name asc GO

SELECT DISTINCT @list INTO '#' + @table_name FROM @table_name @table_name + ':' IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @database_name + '.dbo.' + @table_name) = 0 BEGIN INSERT INTO @database_name + '.dbo.' + @table_name + '(' + @list + ')' SELECT @list FROM '#' + @table_name END ELSE BEGIN DELETE @database_name + '.dbo.' + @table_name +' ( ' + @list + ')' GOTO @table_name END DROP TABLE '#' + @table_name
the query above is basically.. selecting all the fields from a table in database W/OUT their primary key. then putting them in a temp table.. delete all the records in the original table. then paste the records from the temp table into the original table.
is there a way for this to work? i don't know how to use the variables w/ this script. please help me correcting this query..
