Noob Alert! What I Thought Was A Real Simple Query...
Oct 22, 2007
Hi
I have a table which has the column [itemNumber] Which contains numbers from 000 to 999. I have another table which has the UPC data for given items
I am trying to get results from my query that will show me every number in the itemNumberSet table that does not already exist (in the substring) of the UPCcode column.
By using the query below i am able to retrieve the opposite, and it works by returning results that do exist in the UPCcode column. But I cannot seem to get it to do the opposite which is what i am after. I figured it would be as simple as using NOT IN but that returned 0 results.
SELECT itemNumber FROM itemNumberSet
WHERE itemNumber IN (select SUBSTRING(UPCcode, 9, 3) FROM itemUPCtable)
ORDER BY itemNumber
The problem is a simple full outer join ends up ignoring EmpID 3 who has no Calls in t1, but I still want that row displayed in the results. Any ideas? TIA
Two tables:FruitfruitID, fruitNameBasketbuyerID, fruitID(ie. we can see which buyer has what fruit in their basket)I simply want to display all available fruit and whether or not it'sin a specific persons' basket.SELECT Fruit.fruitID, Fruit.fruitName, IsNull(buyerID, 0)FROM Fruit INNER JOIN Basket ON Fruit.fruitID = Basket.fruitIDWHERE Basket.buyerID = 12but this just gives me what's in buyer 12s' basket.What am I doing wrong? Am I a basket case...
It is my understanding that Views cannot have parameters. Also thatstored procedures can not be queried. My problem is this:I want to select the rows that match a certain parameter.From that I want to select the most current 20 rows (there is a datefield).From that I want to select the lowest 10 rows based on a numericfield.Finally I want that to be input to a report and some calculations.What this basically is the selection for USGA Golf Handicap Index. Itis the most current 20 rounds of golf by a golfer, then the best 10 ofthose 20 and then finally the calculation.Any help would be appreciated.
Hell, I host web pages on a server(s) that I own, located in a datacenter.I am trying to figure out how to properly liscnese sql server 2005.I have called microsoft, and the people i talk to dont seem to understand my situation. They keep asking me about the number of employess i have, which is totally irrelevant. Let me give you a basic example.Example 1.My personal web page has a blog on it. The blog data is stored in a SQL database. Its a popular blog, thousands of anonymous people reading my blog every month via my webpage. The only "thing" accessing the SQL databse is an asp.net script i write, which then turns around and presents the data via html over the www. just like every other blog in the universe. Example 2.I sell artwork over the internet via my web page. My web page uses a shopping cart system which makes use of an SQL database to keep track of inventory and orders etc. No one ever tries to connect to my database, they just use the shopping cart on my web page which of course connects to the database.Now according to the MS liscensing documentation it seems that i can buy sql server w/ 5 device CAL's. Since I only have 1 or 2 webservers accessing the database server, that should be no problem right?So my basic question is this: is a single Device CAL enough to allow one webserver to connect to one sql server and then show dynamic content to thousands of anonymous users (whoever happens to visit my sites?).Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
I'm wondering how/why this query works. Trying to get my head wrappedaround SQL. Basically the Query deletes from the Import table allrecords that are already in FooStrings so that when I do an insert fromthe FooStringsImport table into the FooStrings table, then I won't getprimary key violations.DELETE FROM FooStringsImportWHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM FooStringsWHERE FooStringsImport.FooKey = FooStrings.FooKey)It seems to work fine, but I'm wondering about how the EXISTS keywordworks.(SELECT * FROM FooStringsWHERE FooStringsImport.FooKey = FooStrings.FooKey)This part is going to return only records from FooStrings correct? Ordoes it do a cartesian product since I've specified more than one tablein the WHERE statement?I wonder if it only returns records in FooStrings, then I don't see howa record from FooStringsImport would "EXISTS" in the records returnedfrom FooStrings.The reason I wondered about the cartesian product is because, if onlyFooStrings is specified in the FROM part of the SELECT statement, thenI was thinking it is only going to return FooString records. Theserecords would then be returned by the select statement to the WHEREEXISTS, which would look for FooStringImport records, but would findnone because the select statement only returned FooString records.I'm guessing maybe because it has to do a cartesian product to evaluatethe WHERE Pkey's equal, then the "SELECT *" just goes ahead and getsALL the fields, and not just those in FooStrings.FooStrings and FooStringsImport are identically structured tables,where the FooKey is set as the primary key in each table:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FooStrings] ([FooKey] [bigint] NOT NULL ,[Name] [char] (40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[StartDate] [datetime] NULL ,[EndDate] [datetime] NULL ,[Code] [char] (1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThanks in advance. I'm so appreciative of the help I've gotten here,as I've been able to write several very useful queries on my own nowafter everyones help and plus lots of reading on my own.
How do you concatinate fields in SQL? I tried in a SQL query, but did not have any success. I'm coming from MS Access where it is simple to add fields together.
You could add fields and put characters between the two different fields like a space and/or some sort of seperation character (/,-,_,:) in an expression. Then you could call that expression from whatever you wanted.
Is there a way to do this in SQL Express 2005? Do I do it in a query? Can I add seperation characters?
Thanks
PS. If you have a good link to the basics of SQL queries, I would look at that as well.
Hi!How to create an alert that responses in case of long querya. I haven'tnoticed any counters that deals with these kind of situations?Thx for your help!
I've been trying to fill a tree view based on some criteria in another table. I have the standard table with a ID - ParentID - Text when I bind the table everything works fine.
What I need to do is display only the tree items based off a username and ID in another table.

Results from tblGroup: - RESTAURANTS - Cuisine - Steakhouse
Query Results should be layed out like tblGroups
Any ideas? This is what I have so far... But it does not traverse up and get the other nodes..
USE SQL2005_335573_cplanet; GO WITH DynamicTree (ParentID, GroupID, GroupName) AS ( SELECT e.ParentID, e.GroupID, e.GroupName FROM tblGroups AS e INNER JOIN tblTourGroup AS edh ON e.GroupID = edh.GroupID )
SELECT e.ParentID, e.GroupID, e.GroupName FROM DynamicTree as e
INNER JOIN tblTourGroup AS dp ON e.GroupID = dp.GroupID WHERE dp.UserName = N'Test' GO
I know that you can alter the maximum characters per column value in Query Analyzer by using the menu item 'TOOLS' then 'OPTIONS', then selecting the 'RESULTS' tab. I'm convinced that there is a way to do this programmatically (need it for a stored procedure) but cannot figure out how and would appreciate any help given.
The query below gets percentage of coils for a location by anneal cycle. It does this correctly (ie, if you change count(*)/b.total to count(*), b.total ... show both columns, the numbers its pulling are correct), but in its current state (trying to divide count by total), it always returns a zero (no decimal values).
If I change that section to : (count(*)*100/ b.total*100)/100, I get integer percentages: no decimals (this is a problem because some records round off to zero). I'm pretty sure this is the entire problem (why I'm getting zeros as written below), but I don't have a clue how to fix it. Is this some kind of server setting that allows the query to only return decimal values or something?
select a.department, a.cycle, count(*)/ b.total percentage from inventory a join (select department, count(*) total from inventory where location not like 'bas%' and archived = 0 and quality_code = 'p' group by department) b on a.department = b.department where a.archived = 0 and a.quality_code = 'p' and location not like 'bas%' group by a.department, a.cycle, b.total order by a.department, a.cycle
How can I turn this query into an Email alert if one of the counts are GT 50. The Source are machines that I capture counts(Unprocessed_Cntr) from every 5 minutes and load to the Load_Time_Capture table. I also add a datetime to each capture(Unprocessed_Capture ).
If any individual source has a count > 50 or if the combined(ALL) GT 50 send an email to support person.
SELECT CASE GROUPING([Source]) WHEN 1 THEN 'ALL' ELSE [Source] END AS 'Input Source', avg([Unprocessed_Cntr]) as 'Average Queue Past 15 Min'
FROM Load_Time_Capture WHERE Unprocessed_Capture >= DateADD(mi, -15, Current_TimeStamp) GROUP BY [source] WITH ROLLUP
I'm creating a website for a student organization at my university. Basically, I have an Excel file with a list of contacts that the members of our organization need to be able to search on our website.
The only field that I need our members to be able to search is "contact location." So for example, a member might want to know if our organization has any contacts in Spain, so the member would type "spain" into the "contact location search" field" and would get results.
I really don't known where to turn... I need the easiest thing that would be manageable for a novice. It doesn't need to be an intense search function; just something to make the website functional (so it obviously needs to be uploadable to a server; the server has PHP capability...no idea if that has any relevance). I've been searching around all day and have come across potentials like PHP, SQL, XML, etc. but have no idea which way to turn... I have Office and Adobe Studio programs at my disposal.
Thank you all-powerful and all-knowing web gods! I owe you my deepest gratitude!

So I've been working on this project and I've finally gotten into the program stages. However, I've realised some things that I need to change to some of my stored procedures so that they work the way I want them to inside the program. Anyways I have this stored procedure called "Delete_Minors" and what it originally did was delete any class found in this table called MinorRequiredClasses that matched that minor and was not considered complete. I realised that this would be a bad decision to delete classes in a minor and not consider any other majors/minors a user might have that also require those classes...SO I thought I might be able to come up with a query but it doesn't seem to work. Below are the tables the query/stored procedure deals with as well as the old procedure and the new one (that I attempted to work the way i wanted it to).

I have a hunch this one is going to be a resounding "no", but I thought I'd try anyways.
I have a report that uses a user defined date range many, many times throughout the datasource. Ideally, I would like to pass a query declaring and setting variables and let sql server (2000) sort out the dirty work. Essentially I'm working on something that would look like this:
DECLARE @sDate AS DATETIME DECLARE @eDate AS DATETIME
SET @sDate = 'this string gets constructed during the On Open event of a report SET @eDate = 'same thing here
SELECT lotsOfStuff, (SELECT oneOfManySubSelects FROM t2 WHERE t2.field BETWEEN @sDate AND @eDate) FROM somewhere WHERE somefield BETWEEN @sDate AND @eDate
I have some five subselects that are dependent on this daterange. I can construct the entire string purely in VB, but it's messy and rather tedious. Ideally I'd like to set the variable ONCE at runtime and be done with it. This way, I keep a full record source that calls @sDate and @eDate. Then I simply set the variables and insert them before the query.
The problem is Access doesn't seem to know how to pass the query without trying to parse the variables itself. So it gets mad that @sDate and @eDate haven't been defined for each occurance. I'm looking for a way to make access ignore the fact that there are variables in the query, and pass it as-is to the sql server.
I assume that MS has a directive never to change the format of SSIS raw files...
However, what I'd like to know is that when I'm planning long-term systems where I've got backups of data (staging, logging, whatever) using raw files, can I be assured that future versions of SSIS will be able to read those raw files?
I assume a certain level of backwards compatibility, however, I'm just curious if I should think about building processes into my projects that would factor that in and rebuild raw files everytime a new/major release of SSIS comes out.
So, Jimmy G helped me out with it in showing a little bit how to do it. SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(, object>) SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@return"; param.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue; command.Parameters.Add(param);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
//get the return value int val = int.Parse(command.Parameters[0].ToString()); Where I get lost is in the declaring of a new sqlcommand and sqlparameter. Can you please spell out where to use this and if I need to change my SQLdataSource. I currently was trying to use it in the OnClick of a button. What I had did the following Protected Sub CreateIssue_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) dim returnValue as integer 'how do I get a return value from the stored procedure executed in 'insertissue.insert() here to a variable? InsertIssue.Insert() Response.Redirect("/addarticletoissue") End Sub
again, thank you for your help and patience with such a beginner =)
I have a production 60GB database set to Full Recovery and every 15 minutes I am log shipping to a Stand by Server .
During the production hours there are no problems but at night when I run DBCC DBREINDEX, the log grows to 22GB and because of this I have a problem sending this over the network to the stand by server.
I tried changing the recovery model to Bulk_Logged but the there is no difference in log file backup size.

I am trying to make a single display page for an author's books.the books page only displays books of a type "type" (novels, non-fiction, etc)I would like to make it so that it can also show all books if "type" isn't selected.

I have a table called "member" that has two fields (amongst others) called "firstname" and "city"I want to return a list that sorts people who live in the same city, but does not return people who do not have a city in common.For example if this is my data:Karen - ParisMike - RomeTim - Dallas
Jim - ParisChris - DallasJohn - ManhattanSarah - OrlandoDavid - DallasThe query would return this:Dallas - ChrisDallas - DavidDallas - TimParis - JimParis - KarenI have this SQL so far: Select city, firstname From member Order By city, firstnamebut it includes all the cities including those that only have 1 resident.Can someone tell me how to do this?Thanks a lot,Chris

Hi All Can anyone tell me what this simple SQL query would be: Find all the words "black", "dvd" and "player" from any of the fields "Product", "Brand" or "Description".
I am trying to select players from a database based on the userid not having any user's name in it with an order by ASC. I basically want all the players that haven't been taken. Here is what I came up with and it gives me empty.
strSQLA="SELECT UserID, playerName from Allplayers WHERE UserID = '' ORDER BY playername ASC"
I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere. That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help. Here's what's going on: I have a "Documents" table. Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table. Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships. Let's call that table BD. When I create a document it creates a row in D. Let's call that D1, D2...DN. When I create a benefit it creates a row in B. Let's call that B1, B2...BN When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table. Now here's what my challenge is. Suppose I have these entries in my tables: D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3 Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2 When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1. In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added. How do I write a SQL query to do this? Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3) SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL) Any thoughts?
I want to write a sql query for an asp page which will display only unique rows from the specified column along with the number of count for each unique row.
Example:
Table that I want to query
Last Name || First Name Gates || Bill Boyce || Mike Gates || Bill Gates || Phil
Results I want:
Last Name || First Name || Count Gates || Bill || 2 Boyce || Mike || 1 Gates || Phil || 1
I am new to SQL and this question may be most easiest to many of you. Here is what I need.
I have two identical tables (exactly the same in structure) having a compound primary key with a combination of 3 columns. Can someone give me the most efficient query that fetches all the rows from table1 that are not in table2.
from sales_contact sc , invoice i , invoice_line_item il , sales_region_special_section srss , sales_region sr , issue_date idd
where sc.sales_contact_id = i.sales_contact and i.invoice_id = il.invoice and srss.sales_region = sr.sales_region_id and il.issue_date = idd.issue_date_id and srss.invoice_line_item = il.invoice_line_item_id
order by sc.sales_contact_id
================
heres some of the result set I want only the records with the greatest id for each unique sales contact...

this would be an ideal result set using the data above...note there are situtations where there are n* for a greatest issue id.

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:
Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:
This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.
When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.
