Hi, I need an ouput of difference in two Strings
Declare @StringA varchar(100), @StringB varchar(100)
@StringA = 'A,B,C'
@StringB = 'A,C,C'
The values are seperated in the strings by ','
Since B value in first string changed to C value in the second string
I want to return the difference between the two strings as 'B,C'
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
is it possible to return multiple output values in stored prcodeure
for eg.
Create Proc XYZ
( @x int output,@y int output,@z int ouput)
As
Begin
SET @X= Select from table
SEt @Y=SELECT from table
set @z=slect from table
end
Hi all.
I want something like this :
create proc myProc ( @num int ,@name varchar(80))
as
select @num = max(field1) from @name
but there is a problem that the @name is a varchar and the error is :
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_myProc, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '@name'.
I tried
select @num = max(field1) from object_id(@name)
and the error was the same
is ther another way than :
exec ("declare @num int select @num = max(field1) insert into anotherTable values( @num) " ) ?
thx

1. last gift card used for each customer, each order
2. In a single order , if card used is gift card, last gift card used is gift card itself. if card used is a credit card, then the max gift card number from with in the order.
3. First time if a customer uses a credit card, then last gift card used is defaulted to 99 for merchant = prd and 88 for merchant = prod
4. In a new order, a past customer only uses a gift card, then last gift card used is gift card from his previous order.

Please help me with the sql.
I tried this using subqueries to find the max gift card for a customer for an order and could get the last gift card used correctly for credit cards for an order, but not able to insert the gift card from a previous order if the new order has only credit card as in for customer C1.
Thanks.
I am working on a SSIS package. I want error records to be redirected to a different table. Natively, the package passes the Error Code and Column Code (don't know what to call it, but it's a number). I found a script to get the error description, but can't find an equivalent to get the Column name.
Any ideas?
Row.ErrorDescription = _
Me.ComponentMetaData.GetErrorDescription(Row.ErrorCode)
I'm just starting to get a handle on parameters. I now want to create a parameter that is "multi-value". How do I get this to work? I have the report parameter set up, I just don't know how to actually get the report to use it.
Does it go in my dataset query? ie select 1,2,3 from table where 1 = @1
if so, how do you do this for a multi?
Does anyone know how to save the output of a stored procedure into a table? I would like to be able to use some procedures such as the sp_helpfile and dbcc sqlperf(logspace) and save to output into a table. Does anyone have any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?
Question is in the subject.

I am trying to develop a web site. I have a local ms sql database on my machine.
I am trying to connect to a ms Sql database on a goDaddy server from the application.
I am trying to understand the connection string and its total properties.

<
add name="Personal" connectionString="Server=whsql-v12.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;
Database=DB_XX10;

can someone please tell me where I am going wrong, Thanks for your help.....
I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions. First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it. So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work. How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string
Dim y as string = "'" // " ' "
key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray)
But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key. How does this need to be changed up?
string y = "'";
key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());
How can i make a sum (concatenation) of strings of one column in a table.
for example i have a table like this
field1 field2
1 abc
1 bcd
2 sdf
2 sdd
I want to get these strings added group by field 1
Thanks
I am submitting a telephone number into a table. I have 3 boxes for the telephone number. Telephone1,Telephone2,Telephone3. I need to insert the values of the 3 text boxes into a column called phone in my table.
so like
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO customer_mod (phone) Values (@Telephone_1)
<asp:formparameter name="Telephone_1" formfield="Telephone1+Telephone2+Telephone3" />
I don't think that is gonna work, so can you please help me make that code work?
I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work.
I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name.
My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation.
I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????
Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists.
So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one.
ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?
In an ASP.NET app, where is the preferred place (or your preferred place, I should say) to store any SQL Statements (updates, selects, stored procedure calls, etc.) you have? I have been using a key/value pair in AppSettings in my web.config but just feel like that isn't the best way. What say you?

I've got a GridView, a datasource, 2 textboxes and a button. If I choose to bind the GridView to the datasource the correct data is shown. But if I modify the datasource and chooses the TextBoxes as Parameter Controls it doesn't work out as I expected.
Can I please have a step-by-step response which will work? And expecially if one if the TextBoxes eguals nothing/null. Because this is very important, too, and that part doesn't work either.
This seems so simple but I can't find any examples to do it..
I have the following in a text file "Lastname, Firstname MI" and I want to select each part separetly.. What would be the SELECT statement to get the Lastname up to the comma, then the Firstname after the comma, then the MI after the last space..

I have a varchar field that contains answers to questions separated by commas. Say there are 4 questions for each user. Here is an example of what the table would look like:
User Answer
1 Good,Fair,Good,Bad
2 Bad,Good,Good,Good
3 Fair,Good,Bad,Fair
I need to write a stored procedure to report off of that separates the Answer field into 4 different columns. How can this be achieved? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
In MySQL I can represent a string as the following:

Thanks.
I have a small problem that I can't figure out. Here's my table:
----------------------------------------
Members
----------------------------------------
ID | Name | Image
----------------------------------------
When a user signs up to become a member, they can upload an image, which will be stored under Image. It will also be stored in a folder. For example, if the user with the ID of 14 uploads an image, it will be stored in 'livefiles/Members/14/image.jpg'. If the user does not upload an image, NULL is stored under Image, and the user has a default image, which is stored under 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg'.
What I want to do is return the path of where the image is in the folders. Basically...
If Image is not null
SELECT 'livefiles/Members/' + ID + '/' + Image AS ImagePath
If Image is null
SELECT 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg'
I'd rather not do this with an IF statement, I'm doing a lot of other SELECTS, and I don't want to have to copy all that code. Here's what I tried...
COALESCE (NULLIF('livefiles/Members/' + CONVERT(varchar(20), ID) + '/' + Image, 'livefiles/Members/' + ID + '/'), 'livefiles/MembersDefault/1/image.jpg') AS ImagePath
but that gave me an error saying:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'livefiles/Members/' to data type int.
I everyone, I have been on the admin side of IT for the past 20 years and recently started to do some scripting (VBscript) and a little SQL.
I have developed a solution to meet the needs of some federal auditors, but not really met my needs yet.
What I have done is this.
I use MS Logparser to go out to 64 servers and copy the event logs into a DB on a SQL 2000 Ent. Server.
On the SQL server I have one StoredProcedure that parses out information from the security event log DB and put that info into a temp DB.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stp_SecurityAuditReport]
AS
TRUNCATE TABLE SecurityEvents_Tmp
-- Parse Bank Number & UserName
INSERT INTO SecurityEvents_Tmp(DepartmentNumber, UserName, EventLog, RecordNumber, TimeGenerated, TimeWritten, EventID, EventType, EventTypeName, EventCategory, EventCategoryName, SourceName, Strings, ComputerName, SID, Message, Data)
SELECT
DepartmentNumber = '001',
UserName = CASE
WHEN Strings LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[a-z]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE 'Account Unlocked. |%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,21,charindex('|',Strings,21)-21)
ELSE SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
END,
Events.*
FROM Events
JOIN EventsToLog on Events.EventID = EventsToLog.EventID
WHERE SID NOT LIKE 'S-%'
-- Update blank usernames
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET UserName = 'NO USERNAME'
WHERE UserName = '' OR UserName = '-'
-- Update DepartmentNumbers with zeros
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET
DepartmentNumber = CASE
WHEN UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][a-z]%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]#%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]$%'
THEN SUBSTRING(UserName,1,3)
ELSE '001' END
As you can see, we use 3 didgit numeric prefixes on all Departmental employee accounts. This is later used to produce departmenntal user audit reports.
I then have this script in a DTS that exports the report to an excel spreadsheet. (All works well for this purpose!)
DECLARE @TimeGenerated datetime
SELECT @TimeGenerated = TimeGenerated FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
DECLARE @TimeGeneratedEnd datetime
SELECT @TimeGeneratedEnd = TimeGeneratedEnd FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
SELECT DepartmentName = CASE WHEN b.DepartmentName IS NULL
THEN 'All Department' ELSE b.DepartmentName END,
a.EventID,d.EventDescription,a.UserName, a.TimeGenerated,c.Email1,c.Email2,c.Email3,c.Email4
FROM SecurityEvents_Tmp a
LEFT JOIN DepartmentList b on a.DepartmentNumber = b.DepartmentNumber
LEFT JOIN EmailToList c on b.DepartmentNumber = c.DepartmentNumber
JOIN EventsToLog d on a.EventID = d.EventID
WHERE b.Departmentnumber in (select Departmentnumber from Departmentlist)
AND a.TimeGenerated BETWEEN @TimeGenerated AND @TimeGeneratedEnd
ORDER BY b.DepartmentNumber,a.EventID,a.TimeGenerated
This combination of utils and scripts does very good for producing generic security reports for branch officers.
But now I am getting requests to justify/explain what is in these reports. The problem I have is that the information needed to delve further into the event logs is in a field called Strings. This field not only changes in length and the amount of fields within this string, but the information in this field changes depending on the type of event record it came from.
This is the Strings field from a failed logon (529)
200jenil|DOMAIN|10|User32 |Negotiate|SERVER|SERVER$|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x3E7)|6920|-|10.190.12.10|48397
And this is from Event ID 642 which was an account being created.
-|381$cmiller|DOMAIN|%{S-1-5-21-3554868564-134719009-1577582102-7972}|Jmotta|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x58F635E)|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|%%1792|-|-
Now, my script does a good job of getting the first user name out but as in the 642 event the second users name would be useful as well. This is the person that created/modified the user account.
So what I was hoping was that I could use a function (or whatever) to automaticaly split the Strings value into it's individual components and put them into an auto-sizing temp table as something like Field1, Field2, Field3, and so on until the end of string.
I could then use a case to get the information needed.
HELP PLEASE!!
Thank You,

Guys,
I have following table where I need to concatenate varchar column.
For example
IDCOMMENT
__________________
1JOHN SMITH
1 SURRENDER
1TO COPS
I want to be able to group by ID and concatenate COMMENT field to 'JOHN SMITH SURRENDER TO COPS' for ID 1
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Any suggestions and inputs would help
Thanks
I find myself between rock and hard place.
My requirement is to simply output a flat file from an OLE DB source containing three types of records.
The output records should look something like this:
Type 1 contains field1, field2, field3
Type 2 contains field1, field3, field6
Type3 contains field1, field4, field5
The source table contains all six fields.
If I simply map the input to output columns, I get all fields output in each record, which is not what I want.
So I run the source through a derived column transformation, inspecting the record type field and creating a new column containing the relevant fields concatenated together, e.g field1 + field 2 + field3 for the Type 1 record.
The problem is that the fields are now all scrunched together, i.e all the trailing spaces are being stripped out of each field during concatenation.
Is there any way to string these fields together while maintaining the original field length?
I'd like the output to look like
ABC FGH XYZ instead of
ABCFGHXYZ
Hi,
Whats wrong with the following T-SQL?
DECLARE @SQL NCHAR(4000)
SELECT @SQL = 'xxxx'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' yyyy'
PRINT @SQL
I'm only seeing 'xxxx' in the debug window so it appears that its not adding the 2 strings?
Weird?!?
