I am writing some functions that work on a time series database of prices, ie volatility, correlation. I need to use the SELECT TOP syntax, but cannot do this with a variable, ie 'SELECT @x TOP * from prices'. My solution is to simply have a function for each potential period that will be looked at - 30day_volatility, 60day_volatility, etc. I looked at setting the ROWCOUNT variable but this is not allowed in functions. I haven't posted any DDL because I think the question is general enough - How do I return n ordered rows from a function without using SELECT TOP, or is there a way to use SELECT TOP with a variable that I am not aware of.
I am using SQL 2014 RTM (may be it's time to upgrade).
I have the following view:
create view [dbo].[SiriusV_Max4SaleList] as select m.id as Max4SaleId, mt.[Description] as [TypeDescription], CAST(m.[type] as tinyint) as [Type], m.start_time as [StartTime], m.end_time as [EndTime],
[Code] ....
I am thinking I may want to remove CAST for department, category, item later on as I don't really care if these columns would be defined as key for my EF model, but I do want to search by these columns. Anyway, this is my current view.
I executed the following select statement once
select * FROM dbo.siriusv_max4saleList where department like 's%' or category like 's%' or item like 's%'
And I believe I got 29 rows initially. However, when I execute this statement now I'm getting just 13 rows. If I execute just the department like 's%' I am getting 0 rows although I can see in the first result a row where department has s in in.
I guess I keep it here since I've created the message already but now I figured out why I am not getting the expected result. I used the condition like 's%' and not like '%s%' which application is doing.
Here is the content of the tbIntersect table: Car100_ID Car200_ID Car300_ID Car400_ID Car500_ID Car600_ID Car700_ID Prod_ID ID 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 19 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 20
I need to return the rows that have null data, ex: second row because Prod_ID is NULL and third row because Car300_ID is NULL. In fact I need the data from the other joint tables that correspond to these ID fields.
Hi , On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that "Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems why i am not able to see from my Desk top i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP
SELECT 'abc' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM abc WHERE SeqNo = 1 UNION SELECT 'def' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM def WHERE SeqNo = 1 abc-1-200.00 abc-1-500.00
As you can see since 1 doesn't exists in table 'def' nothing is returned as expected. However, if a row isn't returned I want to be able to enter my own row such as
I am using the open query method to connect a Oracle server. Below is my code to connect to oracle,when I execute the same query in oracle it fetches 199 rows whereas in Sqlserver it returns only 66 rows. I have tried only one record based on id..sqlserver query returns 0 rows..whereas the oracle returns 4 rows..Can some one tell me what will be the problem

I was using linked servers to import Excel spreadsheets into SQL Server Express 2005. This worked fine with Windows XP and Office 2003.
I have just migrated all my stuff to Vista and Office 2007. Linked servers just can't be created:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------ "The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?" ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

The parameter values I used are:
Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Excel Data source: D:...somelocalfile.xls Provider string: Excel 8.0
I gave full access rights to the Data source file and folder to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MOZART$SQLEXPRESS where mozart is my PC name.
If I change Data source or Provider string to some garbage string, the exact same error message appears. So it appears the error might be in the Provider?
Is it that I have a syntax error in the nested OPENQUERY or is there another issue? Do I need to specify a different provider in the Server Link such as OLEDB? Non-nested OPENQUERYs work fine.
I'm generally following theTips and Tricks article.
"Executing predictions from the SQL Server relational engine". One problem is the sample doesn't actually complete the example query after the second nested OPENQUERY call.
e.g.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer, 'select €¦ FROM Modell PREDICTION JOIN OPENQUERY€¦')
The SQL Server server link's provider is configured to allow adhoc access. I appears that the inner OPENQUERY cannot be prepared by Analysis Server or the Server link provider? but I need to return a key value t.[CardTransactionID] for joining to SQL Server data elements.
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "DMServer" returned message "Errors in the back-end database access module. The data provider does not support preparing queries.".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 An error occurred while preparing the query SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer, 'SELECT t.[CardTransactionID], t.[PostingDate], [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase], PredictProbability([Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase]) AS Score, PredictSupport([Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase]) AS Suppt, t.[BillingAmount] FROM [Misuse Abuse Profile] PREDICTION JOIN OPENQUERY([Athena Dev], ''SELECT [CardTransactionID], [PostingDate], [BillingAmount], [AccountNumber], [SupplierStateProvinceCode], [MerchantCategoryCode], [PurchaseIDFormat], [TransactionTime], [TaxAmountIncludedCode], [Tax2AmountIncludedCode], [OrderTypeCode], [MemoPostFlag], [EvenDollarPurchase] FROM [dbo].[vMisuseAbuseProfile] '') AS t ON [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Account Number] = t.[AccountNumber] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Supplier State Province Code] = t.[SupplierStateProvinceCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Merchant Category Code] = t.[MerchantCategoryCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Purchase ID Format] = t.[PurchaseIDFormat] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Transaction Time] = t.[TransactionTime] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Tax Amount Included Code] = t.[TaxAmountIncludedCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Tax2 Amount Included Code] = t.[Tax2AmountIncludedCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Order Type Code] = t.[OrderTypeCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Memo Post Flag] = t.[MemoPostFlag] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase] = t.[EvenDollarPurchase] ')
In desparation I tried returning the case key (CardTransactionID) and the predictive column elements but I get an error when I try that. I assume this is a no-no?

Hello can some one explain this to me and give me some advice. I have sqlserver1 and sqlserver2 I have a linked server set up [ipaddress] on both servers. When I pass a variable to the stored proc or the query it takes up to 20 seconds to return 1 row but if I replace my varibles like email='sqlboy@coxnet' and firstname='ted' and lastname='clien' it returns the one row im looking for in about 2 seconds but if I pass email =@email ,fname=@fname,lname=@lname I get the 20 second thing. The query is a stored proc being called from an asp app. I get the same results when I run this in query analyzer.
IF EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 email FROM [ipaddress].{database}.dbo.{tablename}--server1 WHERE email = @email ) BEGIN set nocount on SELECT TOP 1 email, FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME, LASTNAME, TITLE, COMPANYNAME, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, COUNTRY FROM [ipaddress].{database}.dbo.{tablename} --server2 WHERE email in(SELECT EMAIL FROM [ipaddress].{database}.dbo.{tablename} where email=@email--server1) AND RecordStatusID ='1' and FirstName=@fname and LastName=@lname END ELSE
IF EXISTS (SELECT top 1 email, FIRSTNAME, MIDDLEINITIAL, LASTNAME, TITLE, COMPANYNAME, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, COUNTRY FROM {databases}.dbo.attendees--server1 WHERE email =@email and FirstName=@fname and LastName=@lname) BEGIN SELECT TOP 1 email, firstname, MIDDLEINITIAL AS MIDDLENAME, lastname, title, companyname, address1, address2, city, state, zip, country FROM {database}.dbo.attendees --server1 WHERE email in (SELECT DISTINCT email FROM server1.dbo.ebooksrequests--server1 where email=@email) and email=@email and FirstName=@fname and LastName=@lname SET NOCOUNT OFF
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
The following T-SQL 2005 snippet executes a remote sproc on an Oracle database. DECLARE @OutParam VARCHAR(5) EXEC ('{Call getnextpin(1)}') AT ALTTEST GetNextPin takes a single input parameter. I need to modify the above code snippet to return the next PIN number into @OutParam. Any ideas? Any help appreciated.
I have an Oracle 9i server. To access the data in Oracle, I setup an ODBC connection to it and am able to return data from it using WinSQL (a general ODBC database client). The SQL statement is simply "SELECT * FROM COLOR" and all 133 records returned properly.
I need to copy the data from the Oracle server to SQL Express, therefore I set up linked server (by Microsoft ODBC provider) using the same ODBC connection as described above.
The problem is: only 32 records returned.
May I ask if there is any problem to this linked server setup?
Hi,I used sp_addlinkedserver to link to a remote server through ODBC.When I execute select count(*) from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader in SQL QueryAnalyzer. It returns 13705 records. But when I execute select * fromLinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader. It only return 885 records. If I specify somecolumns, select ODCOMP, ODPONO, ODVDCD from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader.It returns more records, 1213 records.I guess there is something limit the return storage, but I can notfind it.Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000]
A linked Server was set up against a remote database to backup a database and it runs perfectly well when executed directly against the remote server but returns the above error when set up through Sql Server Agent. Permissions are good as the step returns success. I reset the query timeout property to zero but error persist. What else should I be looking at to make this work?
Hello,John Bell posted a reply on 2003-11-02 04:11:02 PST, that gave me anidea how to achieve paging in sql server without row numberfunctionality. Thank you John. The following works for me, not veryeficient though:SELECT * FROM( SELECT top 5 * FROM( SELECT top 10 * FROM( SELECT top 10 *FROM dft_documentORDER BY documentkey ASC) aORDER BY documentkey DESC) b) dORDER BY documentKey ASCThe innermost SELECT gives 10 rows out of which last 5 needed.regards
Hi all, When I execute a stored procedure that returns a single value using a TableAdapter, I always get error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" I followed all the steps in microsoft help center:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/37hwc7kt.aspx but the problem still unsolved. here are my simple stored procedure:create PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure1
AS RETURN 4 and here are the simple code in my asp.net webpage that should display the number "4": protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataSet1TableAdapters.QueriesTableAdapter TA = new DataSet1TableAdapters.QueriesTableAdapter(); int i = (int) TA.StoredProcedure1(); Response.Write(i.ToString());
}
so, please could any one help me solve this problem?
Hi I have written a query for viewing the results of an on-line survey. I have three tables involved in this query: answers, answerpossibilities and users. So I use a few joins and made this query: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --')) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc The above query works fine. The data returned by this query is shown in a gridview. When an answerpossibilty was never chosen it shows 0 as times chosen. So that's fine. But the problem is, only answers of users who completed the survey should be shown. In the users table there's a field user_completed. So the query should check whether this field is 1 (true). ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GeefAntwoordenMeerkeuze ( @question_id int ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content AS[Answerpossiblity], COUNT(answers.answers_id) AS [Times chosen] FROM answers right OUTER JOIN answerpossibilities ON answers.answerpossibility_id = answerpossibilities.answerpossibility_id left join users on answers.user_id = users.user_id WHERE ((answerpossibilities.question_id = @question_id AND nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content!='-- choose answer --') and users.user_completed = 1) GROUP BY nswerpossibilities.answerpossibility_content ORDER BY [Times chosen] desc Using this query only answers of users who completed the survey are shown but answer possibilities that were never chosen are no longer shown with 0 as times chosen. The gridview simply doesn't show them anymore. Thanks for helping me!
Something went wrong by posting this message I guess, all blank lines were gone.. maybe because I used Safari on my iMac
Hi, I have two mssql databases. I am able to create a linked server. I want to delete some of the rows using this linked server.
Here HAFEEZ is one mssql database and DPVSQSL is another.So, i want to delete rows from DPVSQL from HAFEEZ using HAFEEZDPVSQL linkedserver.
DELETE OPENQUERY (HAFEEZTODPVSQL, 'SELECT EVENT_SYS_ID FROM DIS_MEASMT_FTR_ACTUAL WHERE EVENT_SYS_ID = ''evesysid0015''');
when i run the query i got the following error.

I have a written a dll in 2.0 that calls a webservice. This webservice is used to authenticate users in Active Directory. I created a assembly to that calls this dll because of the diverse languages versions that will use it (from asp,vb6 on up) and all can get values from a stored procedure that calls that assembly. I works great. Until now, I have to add another function to my dll that calls the webservice and returns the Users Full name from Active directory for electronic signitures. Okay I added to the dll then tried to reconstruct my Assembly and stored procedures and recieved the following error. "CREATE PROCEDURE failed because a CLR Procedure may only be defined on CLR methods that return either SqlInt32, System.Int32, void" I want to keep all these Active directory call all in one place so I can be consistant in all the different applications. I was reading about UDF but that could get messy as I have a config file for the dll that allows the user to dynamically change the url for the webservice. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated
It's a very strange thing! I havea a table called invoices, and a table calle customer payments which has the invoiceID of the payment.
I have many invoices that haven't been paid (so they don't have a record on the customer payments). I know this, as i can for example do: select * from invoices where invoiceID = 302247 (and i'll get one result) select * from customer_payments where invoice = 302247 (and i'll get none results)
however, if i do the following: select * from invoices where invoice_id not in (select invoice_id from customer_payments) I get nothing!!!???
It doesn't make any sense, as I should get at least 300 (including the 302247) - both invoiceids fields are int... so i just don't understand what's wrong?
I am using sql server 2005. I stuck out in a strange problem. I am using view in my stored procedure, when I run the stored procedure some of the rows get skipped out means if select query have to return 10 rows then it is returning 5 rows or any other but not all, also the records displyaing is randomly coming, some time it is displaying reords 12345 next time 5678, other time 2468.
But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.
I have several databases to deal with, all with + 250 tables. The databases are not identical and do not conform to a specific naming convention for table names. Most but not all tables have a column called "LastUpdated" containing a date/time (obviously). I'd like to be able to find all rows within a whole database (table by table) where the date/time is greater than a specified date/time.
I'm looking for a reliable query that will return all the rows in each of the tables but without me having to write hundreds of individual scripts "SELECT * FROM [dbo.xyz] WHERE LastUpdated > '2015-01-01 09:00:00:000'", or have to look through each table first to determine which of them has the LastUpdated field.
I have a script that inserts rows from a linked server. It basically looks like this:
use mydb; go insert into my.table (col1, col2, ...) select col1, col2, ... from LinkedServer.db.my.table;
The DDL for both tables is identical: 550 columns (de-normalized from a data warehouse), of which 548 are varchar(max). The remaining two are varchar(255). (not my design! but unchangeable at the moment).
Running my query raises an error:
Cannot create a row of size 9948 which is greater than the allowable maximum row size of 8060. The statement has been terminated.
Now, inserting rows on the table on the LinkedServer has never been an issue. (Since most columns are varchar(max), SQL has the option to store the data off-row.) The data is there, intact and whole. However, when pulling it into my target server using a LinkedServer (4-part naming), I get the error.
Three pairs of eyes have confirmed that the table definitions are identical on both source and target.
How to design at database level such a way so that when I implement a SQL query that returns one hundred thousand rows only display 25 rows at the client (Web page at a time). How can I accomplish this?
Once I display first 25 rows then how do I bring next 25 rows and so on. Can it be done via paging or there are other techniques. However I asked to design this in the database level. I am using MS SQL Server 2008. Front end Visual Studio 2010. I use C# for coding.Â
i have a quite strange condition...when i add some value in database with getdate() function it only returns date and minute not the seconds...does somebody have an experience about this
Problem is that if the [Receiving] table doesn't have a match then no records are return. I want all matches from the [Orders Subtable] and any matches from the [Receiving] Table. If no [Receiving] table matches then I still want all matches from the [Orders Subtable]. Attached is the query.
Note: The query has to run in Access 2000 and I will be coding it in VB.
FROM (Orders LEFT JOIN Receiving ON Orders.[Orders ID] = Receiving.[Orders ID]) INNER JOIN [Orders Subtable] ON Orders.[Orders ID] = [Orders Subtable].[Orders ID]
GROUP BY Orders.[Orders ID], [Orders Subtable].ID, [Orders Subtable].Quantity, Receiving.Quantity, Orders.[Project #], [Orders Subtable].On_Order, [Orders Subtable].[Component #], Receiving.[Component #]
HAVING (((Orders.[Project #])="Speed1aaaaa") AND (([Orders Subtable].On_Order)=True) AND (([Orders Subtable].[Component #])="R02101A") AND ((Receiving.[Component #])="R02101A"));
I administer several servers. My login is a SysAdmin on all servers with not only the same Name and Password, but also the same SID. In setting up Linked Servers, I can successfully SELECT data from a server other than the host server, but if I try to SELECT * INTO I get the following error:
The object name 'DB1.ogSerial.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
Here are the queries I've tried (using DB3 as the host, DB1 as the linked server).
SELECT * INTO DB1.MyDB.dbo.TestTableNew FROM DB3.MyDB.dbo.TestTable SELECT * INTO DB1.MyDB.dbo.TestTableNew FROM DB1.MyDB.dbo.TestTable SELECT * INTO DB1.MyDB.dbo.TestTableNew FROM MyDB.dbo.TestTable
