I have a text box that is used to submit stock symbols that are to be saved in a sql table. The symbols are to be separated by a space or a comma (I don't know which, yet). I want to retrieve the symbols later to be used in a query, but I don't know how to get the symbols in the proper string format for the query, eg
The symbols are stored in the tables as: A B C D
The query string criteria would look like: IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D')
The IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') citeria would be the values in the @Symbol variable in this SPROC
SELECT a_Name_Symbol.Symbol, a_Financials.Revenue
FROM a_Financials INNER JOIN
a_Name_Symbol ON a_Financials.Symbol = a_Name_Symbol.Symbol
WHERE (a_Name_Symbol.Symbol @Symbol)
ORDER BY a_Name_Symbol.Symbol
Is there a slick (ie easy) way to change the contents entered in the text box (A B C D) into IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') ?
I have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.
I have a database with some over normalized tables in it. The best I can do with one query is get the file ID. In the second query I want to get all the file names, based on all the fileID's I got from the first query. How would I go about doing this?
I have a query in access that is running extremely slow and I'm trying to find a better way to write it. It appears to be the criteria statement that is causing the lag. Is there a better way to write this? And unfortunately I have to keep it in access.
query: SELECT DISTINCT "JBC" AS ClientCode, PaymentDetail.PatientNumber, Procedures.CaseNumber, IIf(IsNull([TicketNumber]),Procedures.patientnumber & Year(Procedures.dateofservice) & Month(Procedures.dateofservice) & Day(Procedures.dateofservice),Procedures.ticketnumber) AS ClaimNumber, PaymentDetail.PaymentCounter, PaymentDetail.TransAmount, Payments.PaymentDate, PaymentDetail.AccountingDate, PaymentDetail.TransDate, payments.PaymentType & "-" & Adjustments.adjustmentcode AS CombinedPmtType, Payments.PaymentType, Payments.PaymentCode, Adjustments.AdjustmentCode, PaymentCodes.BriefDescription, PaymentCodes.LongDescription, Payments.CarrierCode, Payments.Remarks, Procedures.ProcedureCode, Procedures.DateOfService, PaymentDetail.DetailCounter FROM ((((PaymentDetail LEFT JOIN Procedures ON (PaymentDetail.PaymentCounter = Procedures.Counter) AND (PaymentDetail.AccountingDate = Procedures.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Procedures.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN Payments ON (PaymentDetail.TransDate = Payments.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.TransCounter = Payments.Counter) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Payments.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN PaymentCodes ON Payments.PaymentCode = PaymentCodes.PaymentCode) LEFT JOIN Adjustments ON (PaymentDetail.TransDate = Adjustments.AccountingDate) AND (PaymentDetail.PatientNumber = Adjustments.PatientNumber)) LEFT JOIN AdjustmentCodes ON Adjustments.AdjustmentCode = AdjustmentCodes.AdjustmentCode WHERE (((Procedures.CaseNumber)=0) AND ((PaymentDetail.TransAmount)<>0) AND ((Payments.PaymentType) Is Null) AND ((PaymentDetail.DetailCounter)=2)) OR (((Procedures.CaseNumber)=0) AND ((PaymentDetail.TransAmount)<>0) AND ((Payments.PaymentType) Is Null) AND ((PaymentDetail.DetailCounter)=5) AND ((AdjustmentCodes.InsuranceIndicator)="N"));
I have four criterias in my .aspx page. They are "First Name, Last Name, Title, Year". I have a Book and an Author table. The Author table would contain all the author's information and the Book table contains all the books information such as title, publisher, subject, and so on. So here's what I'm trying to do.
I want to write a transaction statement that will query the four criterias above if the criteria textbox is not black. So for example, when the user click the submit button, all the four criteria fields are filled except Year. That means the query would search the Author and Book tables for "First Name, Last Name, Title" but not "Year" for any potential matches. I also wanted to use "Like" instead of "=" for a wider search.
Actually I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept those four criterias and search the tables based on those criterias.
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
I'm fairly new in SQL. Been trying for months to create the right script for this particular case but still cannot give me 100% result as required.
SCENARIO :
I am required to query from 2 tables for those unique record that meets both conditions below:- 1. Status is 1 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = CC 2. Status is 2 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = A or B
FYR, 2 tables and respective columns to query are as below:- table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FYI, status refers to the paychnl method status:- ==> 1 means the current paychnl method ==> 2 means the previous paychnl method
paychnl method can be multiple because it will be defined as 2 for all the histories' paychnl chosen earlier, but 1 should only be unique as it is the latest paychnl chosen for each unique ID. however, it may appear more than once when it's taking those in earlier TRANSDATE, so here we would need the max trans_id as it will show the latest updated TRANSDATE.
Apart from that, I need only those most recent paychnl to be A or B and the latest paychnl is CC so, this been indicated by the same max trans_id for the same ID.
Aft trying so many times on this MAX command but failed to get any result, I only managed to come up to this part only. please refer below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FROM DBO.PTFF PTFF JOIN DBO.CHFF CHFF ON CHFF.ID = PTFF.ID WHERE PTFF.TRANSDATE BETWEEN 130501 AND 130831 AND PTFF.TRANSCODE='T522' AND (CHFF.STATUS=1 AND CHFF.PAYCHNL='CC' OR (CHFF.STATUS=2 AND (CHFF.PAYCHNL='A' OR CHFF.PAYCHNL='B')))
However, the script above returns :-
1. All those records with STATUS 1 regardless paychnl is A or B in most recent status 2, 2. Expected results also appear ==> 1 same ID with status 1 while paychnl=CC and status 2 while paychnl=A or B 3. Also duplicates of expected results but for different TRANSDATE and not at MAX TRANS_ID
Getting a weird error while trying out a query from Access 2003 on aSQL Server 2005 table.Want to compute the amount of leave taken by an emp during the year.Since an emp might be off for half a day (forenoon or afternoon), havethe following computed field:SessionOff: ([ForenoonFlag] And [AfternoonFlag])The query works fine when there's no criterion on SessionOff.However, when I try to get the records where the SessionOff equals 0, Iget the following error:~~~~~ODBC--call failed. [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'NOT'. (#156)~~~~~I checked the SQL of the Access query, but there's no NOT anywhere init:~~~~~SELECT tblWorkDateAttendance.*FROM tblWorkDate INNER JOIN tblWorkDateAttendance ONtblWorkDate.WorkDate = tblWorkDateAttendance.WorkDateWHERE (((([ForenoonFlag] And [AfternoonFlag]))=0) AND((tblWorkDateAttendance.WorkDate)<Date()) AND((Year([tblWorkDate].[WorkDate]))=Year(Date())) AND((Weekday([tblWorkDate].[WorkDate])) Between 2 And 6) AND((tblWorkDate.HolidayFlag)=False));~~~~~What gives?
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.
Criteria Retrieve records with independent price and its total volume per minute

Hi I wrote query to get date from database SQL 2000 server. Sometime I get different date format not MMDDYYYY but number as Julian calendar?? Do you know what wrong with this? How can I wrote SQL so that all date will be MMDDYYYY? Thanks Daniel
I am trying to write a simple query that retrieves the data field from a table (stored in the smalldatetime format) and converts the date to mmm yy format. The closest I can get is retrieving the date in the dd mmm yy format using the query below.
select convert(varchar(10),DATA_DATE,06) As DATA_DATE
If there an easy way to parse out the information I want? I also attempted to use the SUBSTR functions, but they always returned error messages.
I am new to SQL server, and am learning as I move an Access db to MSDE2000A. With Access db I run several different queries from a VB6 application in the basic format:
SELECT testdb.* FROM testdb WHERE testdb.datefield = #1/01/2004#
When working with the MDSE version of the db, problem is with the "#" delimiter of dates. MSDE is giving a bad query error. If I change the format to: datefield = '1/01/2004' , the query works on MSDE
However, using SQL builder in VB Design Environment I can run the query in either format and get a result.
Associates A1 0 80 ...... Assocaites A2 20 40 ...... Associates A3 50 100 ...... Principal P1 20 100 ...... Principal P2 0 0 ...... Principal P3 0 100 ...... ------------------------ I want to change the above to something like below table2: --------------------------- GroupName Status Week1 Week2 ....cont
Associates Assigned 2 3 Associates NotAssigned 1 0 Principal Assigned 1 1 Principal NotAssigned 2 1 ---------------------------
I will try to explain how I am deriving table2 from table1. I have to count the number of Resource name against each Groupname for a particular week column(Weeki i 1 to n dynamic) where value of Week column is 0, then use this numbber against NotAssigned and the complementary number to be stored as Assigned.
The table formaating is lost in HTML view but just consider any gaps between fields as next column value.
Am I clear in what i am asking , if not please ask me.
I have to generate a daily report of survey answers by users? My question is there a way to reformat the query so it generates a table or report with it showing the rows as columns instead.
Here is my initial query.
SELECT
dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated AS DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.questionid AS QuestionID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid AS SurveyID
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid AS UserID
,dbo.Reporting_User.LastName1 AS LastName
,dbo.Reporting_User.FirstName AS FirstName
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionAnswer AS QuestionAnswer
FROM
dbo.Reporting_Surveys
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions
ON dbo.Reporting_Surveys.surveyid = dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.surveyid
INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionID = dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionID
INNER JOIN dbo.uvwReporting_User
ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid = dbo.uvReporting_User.userid
WHERE
dbo.uvReporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid = 1125
Order by dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated
,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber
Select
dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber
, dbo dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText
To complicate matters, some of the users did not answer some of the questions and some of the questions are duplicated in the rows because the database assigned them one answer each.
Example. Question 18 says "Name all the industries you have worked in. Check all that apply.
What happens is lets say the user checks 4 different boxes. In the query results, it will show 4 rows with question 18 with each answer they checked off.
I have a table that stores the period and year as two seperate fields the problem that i have is that when the data is entered in the data base the period is sometime entered as 6 or 06, hence i have a table thaat looks like as follows:
Period Year ====== ==== 6 2006 06 2005 12 2006 3 2005 2 2005 4 2005 04 2005 03 2005
when i currently query the information using the period i use the LIKE command in SQL which gives me the results but the problem is when the like is done with 2 as the period value it also retrieves the 12, 02, and 2, in that case the period 12 was not that was requested.
I was wondering is there a way to reformat the data so that all the data is in a consistent format?
Or is there a better way of quering the information in the current format?

Not exactly a TSQL question. Query Editor in Management Studio keeps reformatting my sql code every time I hit save, making the code much harder to read. Is there a way to preserve line breaks and indentation in the SQL when creating a view? Thanks.

I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it. Thanks for the help!
