I am running SQL Server 2000. I would like to know whether
Microsoft Transact-SQL has a method for limiting the result
set from a query in a way analogous to MySQL's LIMIT keyword,
so that, for instance, if the result set contains 10,000 rows,
then only the first 10 rows from the record set are output.
The application retrieves limited records for paginated results. This way we can access large databases, but only return rows for one screen.
For example: Select row 1 - 10, then 11 - 20 then 21 to 30 etc.
With MySQL we can use LIMIT and OFFSET and it works great. MySQL SELECT <columns> FROM <tables> [WHERE <condition>] [ORDER BY <columns>] [LIMIT [offset,]howmany>]
Does anybody know how we can do something similar with MS SQL?
In MySQL we use "SELECT (....) LIMIT 0, 10" to only return the first 0 to 10 records. Alternatively we could do "LIMIT 10, 20" to return the 10th to 20th records.
Hello everyone.. I'm working here on a little problem which's driving me nuts : I have two tables :EQUIPMENT :
-EQID -EQName -EQblabla QUALITYCHECK :
-QCID -EQID <---- Is connected with EQUIPMENT -QCDATE -QCACTION -QCnextdate They're needed to manage Qualityactions on some machines we own. Every year, we do quality actions on every machine, after then, we Inserta new QUALITYCHECK-entry into our database and automatically theQCnextdate is generated with QCdate+365days. So far, so easy. So now, how will i do a query against the DB with the NEWEST QUALITYCHECK-entrys for every machine ? The result has to besmth. like that : EQID | EQName | QCDATE | QCNextdate
where each letter represents a column. I need a SELECT statement that results one row if there is an entry with a date within the last 6 mo for each CP,P,ST combination.
We are trying to limit are query that returns items from our database. The query currently returns 32,000 records. We are trying to figure out an effecient way so we can request the 1st 50, or the 3rd 50, or the 5th 50 to display to the screen. We dont want to return the entire 32,000 then limit whats displayed to the screen in ADO. We want the select statment to only return 50 at a time. Any suggestions?
I am trying to write a query that gives me the personal records from speed skaters on e.g. the 500 mtrs. I do this with the query:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance , prsFirstName , prsLastName , min(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime FROM tb....... INNER JOIN etc.. GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
In itself this works fine. However, there are complicating factors. Sometimes a speed skater has multiple PRs, meaning the he/she has the same fastest time more than once.
If these times are achieved on multple days, the 1st date is the official PR. (meaning: "Min of racedate") If they are raced on the same day the 1st race is the PR (meaning: "Min of distancenumber")
Changing the code to:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance , prsFirstName , prsLastName , MIN(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime , MIN(cdsStartDate) AS RaceDate , MIN(cdsDistanceNumber) AS DistanceNumber
FROM tb....... GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
This gives me the wrong outcome because it gives me the "MIN" of every field, and they are not necessarily on the same row.
An option would be to calculate min(crtFinalTime), if for a person there is more than 1 result, calculate min of date, and then (if there is still more than 1 row) min of distancenumber.
Seems complicated, and I have the feeling there must be a better way (apart from: how to get this code)
Stacking subqueries in the FROM statement seems like a option be costly (time wise). There are more than 10 million rows (and growing) to run through.
As an example a few times:
DistanceFirst nameLast name Time Date Distance nr. 500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311155 500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311153 500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311172
Yuya has 3 best times (34.49), 15-11-2013 is the 1st date, then distance nr 3 is the 1st distance raced. Therefore the 2nd row is the only row I would like to get in my endresult.
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
im doing network monitoring app where basically i run a checks on servers every few minutes and log the data to a table. Naturally the table can get big, quite quickly. What I want is to be able to overwrite the table data at the start of each new day. Alternatively, rollup the data into a daily or weekly packets and then overwrite table data. How do i do this?
I wanted to know the best way to achieve the following results. I have a table that I need output sequential range of vouchers in a table. For instance I have the following data in a column called vouchers. The output will consist of a years worth of vouchers, so voucher numbers may contain gaps and so the need to have a sequential range that has a From and To output. The query needs to know the min and max within that numerical range and then output the next min and max range until it gets to the end.
The data looks like: ABCD-001869202 ABCD-001869203 ABCD-001869204 ABCD-001869205 ABCD-001869209 ABCD-0018692010 ABCD-0018692011 ABCD-001869309 ABCD-001869310 ABCD-001869311 ABCD-001869312 ABCD-001869313 ABCD-001869314
Desired out put:
From To ABCD-001869202 ABCD-001869205 ABCD-001869209 ABCD-0018692011 ABCD-001869309 ABCD-001869314
I have tried the following, but it does not quite do what I need it to do, so not sure if I am taking the right approach:
SELECT voucher vouchers,right(voucher, charindex('-', voucher) + 3) voucher INTO #tempVoucher FROM LEDGERJOURNALTRANS where TRANSDATE between '10/1/2013' and '7/31/2014' and VOUCHER like 'APIN%'
The total quantity(sum(woitem.qtytarget) as total) result set is showing more than 6 numbers after the decimal point (example:442.2565485). How can I limit it to 2. (example:442.25)
select wo.num, sysuser.username,sum(woitem.qtytarget) as total from woitem join wo ON wo.id = woitem.woid Join moitem on moitem.id = woitem.moitemid Join mo ON mo.id = moitem.moid LEFT JOIN SYSUSER ON mo.userid = sysuser.id group by sysuser.username, num ORDER BY CAST( REPLACE( wo.num, ':', '.') as decimal(12, 3))
I want to achieve something like below. It should subtract the '13' row to '6' row and provide another column with the result. the '6' and '13' category code share the same Key.
Now with the above result, On every record I have to fire a query Select SUM(sale), SUM(scrap), SUM(Production) from tableB where ProdID= ["ProdID from above query"].How to write this query in a Stored Procedure so that I can get the required SUM columns for all the ProdID's from first query?
Here the SELECT query is fetching the records corresponding to ITEM_DESCRIPTION in 5 separate transactions. How to change the cursor to display the 5 records in at a time in single transactions.
CREATE TABLE #ITEMS (ITEM_ID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, ITEM_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL)INSERT INTO #ITEMSVALUES(NEWID(), 'This is a wonderful car'),(NEWID(), 'This is a fast bike'),(NEWID(), 'This is a expensive aeroplane'),(NEWID(), 'This is a cheap bicycle'),(NEWID(), 'This is a dream holiday') --- DECLARE @ITEM_ID uniqueidentifier DECLARE ITEM_CURSOR CURSOR
I have a table with dates and values and other columns. In a proc i need to get the result as Month and the values for all the months whether or not the data exists for the month.
The Similar table would be-
create table testing( DepDate datetime, val int) insert into testing values ('2014-01-10 00:00:00.000', 1) insert into testing values ('2014-05-19 00:00:00.000', 10) insert into testing values ('2014-08-15 00:00:00.000', 20) insert into testing values ('2014-11-20 00:00:00.000', 30)
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value ----------- ----- colB 123 colA XYZ
I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...
I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups. What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
We can save query output save as CSV file directly from the Query Analyzer window. I have done it at last few year before. Now I need it.Can anyone please give the one example for the same.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-

Hi,all, I ran the two queries and I thought it would be the same, but it's different. Can you explain to me.

Hello all,I tryed to simplify the problem as much as possible. I'll start with theDDL:----------------------------------CREATE TABLE #MyTable(NoID INT,Type CHAR,DateTransaction DATETIME)INSERT INTO #MyTable (NoID, Type, DateTransaction)SELECT 1 AS NoID, 'A' AS Type, '2004-01-01' AS DateTransaction UNION ALLSELECT 2, 'C', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 3, 'B', '2004-01-01' UNION ALLSELECT 4, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 5, 'B', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 6, 'C', '2004-01-02' UNION ALLSELECT 7, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 8, 'B', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 9, 'A', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 10, 'C', '2004-01-03' UNION ALLSELECT 11, 'B', '2004-01-03'----------------------------------What I want is all the same Type which, for a same DateTransaction, as adifferent Type inserte beetween them when data is sorted by DateTransactionand NoID. In this case I would like:Type DateTransaction------ -----------------C 2004-01-02 /* B is between two C (NoID = 5) */A 2004-01-03 /* B is between tow A (NoID = 8) */B 2004-01-03 /* A and C are between two B (NoID = 9 and10) */All of these have for the corresponding date at least one transaction with adifferent type between.In the real situation NoID is an autoincrement field, the PK. And theDateTransaction hasn't any time, just a round date.Any suggestion?Thanks for your time.Yannick

Basically, I track complaints and each complaint can have 1 or more subjects associated with it. The structure is the complaint is referenced in a complaintsubject row and I use the persons table to find out detail of the complaintsubject (firstname, middlename, lastname) complaintsubject just holds Id's to normalize the database rather than have all details of persons table copied into every complaint (pretty basic so far).
My first question is regarding structure...since my complaint to complaintsubject relationship is 1 to many I assume the best way to associate the two is to have a FileNumber field in the complaintsubject linking back to a complaint. Is there any other design that is better suited to this type of relationship?
Second question and most important: I need a way to search by a string that appears in any part of the firstname, middlenames, lastname. I have the query for this and its working. But the problem arises when I have more than one match (i.e. 2 or more people are involved in the complaint where the match string fits both - example say we have a match string of 'an' and in complaint xyz 2 people involved are Sandy Blah and Andy Blue). Now when I do my join to pull out the complaints that involve any people with a name containing 'an' the result set returns the same complaint twice, one for Sandy Blah and the other for Andy Blue). Since I am only interested in certain complaint details and not interested in having the actual people involved returned in the result set, I would like to return only 1 row for each complaint when more than one match is found for the firstname,middlenames,lastname. I could live with having the duplicate rows and process them easily application side, but I am sending a lot of duplicate information over the wire for nothing and would like to optimize this.
I hope I have described this well enough and would greatly, greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
