i have a stored procedure SELECT PictureID, Left(Name, 16) + '...' AS ShortName
FROM Pictures
some pictures has their name lower that 16 characters, and when i show on the page is something like "Sunrise..."
how can i 'sort' the Select so to return the ShortName if the name is greater than 16 characters or return Name if is lower
i hope you understand what i mean...

Hello... im having a problem with my query optimization....
I have a query that looks like this:
SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE location_id IN (SELECT location_id from location_table WHERE account_id = 998)
it produces my desired data but it takes 3 minutes to run the query... is there any way to make this faster?... thank you so much...
I am trying to select a record from a table where it has the smallest priority
how would you go about doing this
is there a cool sort command or is there a select command syntax that can do this
thanks
Hello everyone,
I Have a table with columns:
- CustomerID
- DateTransactionCompleted
- AmountPaid
Illustration data as follow
GO
INSERT INTO Cus_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'12-12-2004','18000.00')
INSERT INTO Cus_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'12-15-2004','2000.00')
INSERT INTO CUS_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'1-16-2005','15000.00')
INSERT INTO CUS_TAB_DEV_2 VALUES(42,'2-2-2005','12000.00')
GO
What I want is a report that tells me the Total Sales per month Per Customer in the following manner:
Customer ID Month/Year Total Per Month
----------- ----------- ----------------
30 12-2004 20000.00
30 1-2005 15000.00
42 2-2005 12000.00
This is a homework, and I have been trying to get it to work since this morning. Any help is appreciated.
PS: If you do not feel you want/should help. Please don't call me names! I don't ask people to help me with my homework usually. But, I am running out of time on the assignment.
I use SQL Server 2005.
I want to split the data in a table into two parts, say 30%-70%.
Here are my query statements:
-- 30%
SELECT top 30 percent * FROM DataTable ORDER BY Col1
--70%
SELECT top 70 percent * FROM DataTable ORDER BY Col1 DESC
Somebody says the result is not guaranteed to be correct since in SQL Server 2005, the query optimizer may choose different strategy to execute the query statement.
I think select should execute after order by, which has nothing to do with query optimization. Am I correct?
This one isn't so simple.I have a list of training modules, training complete dates and a list of employees in separate tables. I'll give an good example in a second. The problem I am having is that I need to generate a select statement that will generate a kind of 'spreadsheet' that will list the employees in the rows, and columns containing the results in the fields (the training module may or may not have been completed, and thus may or may not be in the result box. I think the example explains it fairly well (note, I did not design the database structure but have to work with it).Employees table:empNameJane DoeAlton BrownJohn DoeTrainingCourse table:courseNameWeldingBrain SurgeryScuba DivingResults table:empName: courseName: completeDate:Jane Doe Welding 2/2/2002Jane Doe Brain Surgery 3/7/2005Alton Brown Scuba Diving 9/23/2004Alton Brown Welding 11/4/2004John Doe Brain Surgery 6/14/2003End result of select statement: Welding Brain Surgery Scuba DivingJane Doe 2/2/2002 3/7/2005 Alton Brown 11/4/2004 9/23/2004John Doe 6/14/2003 Thanks a million to anyone with insight into this. I'm still trying to figure out a way to do this, but after a few days haven't come up with or found anything. Most things I've found online are too simplistic.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm new to using SQL Server. I've been asked to optimize a series of scripts that queries over 4 millions records. I've managed to add indexes and remove a cursor, which increased performance. Now when I run the execution plan, the only query that cost is a DELETE statement from the main table. It shows a SORT which cost 71%. The table has 2 columns and a unique index. Here is the current index:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Qry] ADD CONSTRAINT [Qry_PK] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[QryNum] ASC,
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Question: Will the SORT affect the overall performance? If so, is there anything I should change within the index that would speed up my query?
We have a database where the nvarchar columns currently holding English only data. It keeps the training information. Currently the default collation is Latin Case insensitive accent insensitive.
Now we are planning to allow multiple language support. When we go for it, we will upload the data from different languages. Based on user preferences, he/she should be able to query the data (One language at a time).
I am worried on how the existing queries will work if I load all language data in the same database.
For example, some characters in English are used in Norwegian too. But they have different sort order. ALso LIKE conditions too may fail.
So far I thought of few solutions: Add the Collation information along with select , order by clauses. It means we need to add more procedures (one set per collation) The other option is to create new database for each language. Each will have its own collation. The dowside is we need more databases which may lead to more servers and more maintenance work.
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
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk 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.

I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end,
case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc
when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes
end
case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC
when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC
end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak

Hi!
I recently run into a senario when a procedure quiered a table without a order by clause. Luckily it retrived data in the prefered order.
The table returns the data in the same order in SQL Manager "Open Table"
So I started to wonder what deterimins the sort order when there is no order by clause ?
I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.
Peace.

I am using three tables in this query, one is events_detail, one is events_summary, the third if gifts. The original select statement counted the number of ids (event_details.id_number) that appear per event_name (event_summary.event_name).
Now, I would like to add in another column that counts the number of IDs that gave a gift who attended an event that were also listed in the event_ details table. So far I have come up with the following. My main issue is linking the subquery properly back to the main query. how to count in the sub-query and have the result placed within the groups results in the main query.
SELECT es.event_name, es.event_id, COUNT(ed.id_number) Number_Attendees,
(
SELECT COUNT(gifts.donor_id) AS Count2
FROM gifts
WHERE gifts.donor_id = ed.id_number
) subquery2

Hi All,
Can some one point me in the right direction in how to construct my SQL query within my cursor?
I Have got a cursor which i am using to iterate through a table, What i am trying to do is in my statement(used to open the cursor) is compare 2 tables (the one which my cursor is iterating) to see if there is a matching row in the other table (using both tables ID's Like So:
SELECT column_List
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1_id = Table2_id
so for each row my cursor checks if there is a corresponding match in table2... but i would like to write to an error log
and do other statements if there is no match
how do i add this condition to my statement either using an if...else statement proceeding to the next row?
here is the statment i attempted to write:
SELECT column_List
FROM table1
WHERE
Table1_id = Table2.id
now i want to incoporate the statements below into the statement above as a condition when table1.id <> table2.id
IF table1.id <> table2.id
BEGIN
SET @DebugMessage = 'data not live.'
RAISERROR (@DebugMessage, 16, 1) WITH LOG
END
essentially what i am trying to sayin my statement is:
go to the first row
check if it has a match in table 2,
if there is no match execute a number of statements such as error loging e.t.c
go to the next row
repeat the previous statements
...i also looked through some Case...When statements am just not sure how to put in the condition
thanks in advance

Hello, Is there a SQL SELECT Statement that can remove the time part in my DataTable. see example below
This is what I have in the first column 0 - MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM
This is what I want - MM/dd/yyyy
I would rather do it in the SELECT statement instead of doing it in my DataTable using the FORMAT function.

I have a stored procedure that works like this
getCountryByIPAddress @ipaddr='1.2.3.4'
returns a single 2 char column.
I want to use it in a select statement similar to:
select customername, @country=(exec getCountry @ipaddr=customer.customeripaddress) from customer
I'm intend to receive a list of customer names and the 2 char result of GetCountry based on the customeripaddress field of the customer table. What I get is a syntax error near Exec and then another one near '.'
Is there another way to accomplish this that I am not seeing?
