Question About Different Query Results With Wildcard
Dec 22, 2006
Hi, I'm working with a third party app on SQL Server 2000, and from what I can gather, programmed in C# & VisualFoxPro.
When we search with
Note contains 94949
we get 571 results, when we search with
Note contains 94949*
we get 575 results.
There should be at least a hundred different entries that start with "94949-1" so I expected the query with the wildcard to return something like 680 results, not an additional four rows.
Searching with
Note contains 94949-1*
got 483 results
Note contains 94949-10*
got 0 results
Could someone explain or point me to more documentation on the difference results we get?
Thanks

Hello
I have come across a problem today when working with data sets/table adapter in vs05 for use in ASP.net.
SELECT ws_Agent.Telephone, ws_Agent.Email, ws_Agent.Name, ws_Agent.AgentId, ws_Agent.forename, ws_Agent.surname, ws_Agent.Acc_PcentreID, ws_ProfitCentre.ShortCode, ws_Branch.Name AS branchname, ws_Branch.ManagerId, ws_Branch.Fax AS branchFax, ws_Branch.Telephone AS branchtelephone, ws_Branch.Address1, ws_Branch.Address4, ws_Branch.Postcode, ws_ProfitCentre.Telephone AS PCentreTelephone, ws_ProfitCentre.Status AS PCentreStatus, ws_ProfitCentre.Fax AS PCentreFax, ws_ProfitCentre.Email AS PCentreEmail, ws_Agent.Status, ws_Agent.DisableAccount, ws_ProfitCentre.PCentreID, ws_Branch.Status AS BranchStatusFROM ws_Agent INNER JOIN ws_ProfitCentre ON ws_Agent.Acc_PcentreID = ws_ProfitCentre.PCentreID INNER JOIN ws_Branch ON ws_ProfitCentre.BranchID = ws_Branch.BranchIdWHERE (ws_Agent.Status <> 3) AND (ws_ProfitCentre.Status = 0) AND (ws_Agent.forename LIKE @forename) AND (ws_Agent.surname LIKE @surname ) AND (ws_ProfitCentre.ShortCode LIKE @profitcentreshortcode) AND (ws_Branch.Name LIKE @branchname )
The wildcard syntax works fine when tested in the query builder when passing in % to the parameters
, but does not work correctly NO RESULTS WHEN using preview data and in the subsequent use of data set in code.
Can anyone please comment on this or is there a setting I have missed?
Regards,
Matthew

I screwed up my database and double added data to a text field.
For example I need made this:
'http://192.168.200.1/images/' +PATH+ '.jpg'
Look like this:
'http://192.168.200.1/images/http://192.168.200.1/images/12345.jpg'
How can I query to reset this?
update perimage
set PERIMAGE_PATH = 'http://192.168.200.1/images/' +PATH+ '.jpg'
WHERE PERIMAGE_PATH <> 'http://192.168.200.1/images/' +PATH+ '.jpg'
That just makes the problem worse

I want to update data only where the value of the 'image_path' column is NOT = 192.168.150.12/images/*
Im basically trying to exclude creating duplicates, where this path already exists.
Here is my code:
INSERT INTO IMAGE (FCN, IMAGE_NAME2)
SELECT FCN, Col066
FROM GRAB where Col066 <> ' '
update IMAGE
Set PERIMAGE_PATH = 'http://192.168.150.12/images/' +IMAGE_NAME2+ '.jpg'
FROM IMAGE WHERE image_name2 IS NOT NULL and perimage_path is NOT = 192.168.150.12/images/*
What is the proper code to do this. I know the last line does not work. Thanks

Hi,
I have a problem with SQL CE 3.5 and VS 2005. When I execute query with parameters and wildcard, I have an error : FormatException.
Here is my query with parameters :
Query: SELECT "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ID" AS "Numero","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_SECT_ID" AS "Section","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_NUMERO" AS "Rang","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_GROUPE" AS "Groupe","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" AS "Entites","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_LBL_COURT" AS "Court","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_LBL_LONG" AS "Long","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ACTIVE" AS "Active","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_CONDITIONS" AS "Conditions","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_PARENTS" AS "Parents","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_QUESTIONS" AS "QuestionsConditions" FROM "PARAGRAPHES" WHERE ( ( ( ( "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_SECT_ID" = ? AND ( ( "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" LIKE ?) OR "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" IS NULL))) AND "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ID" IN (SELECT "DOSSIER_LINKS"."DOLI_PARA_ID" AS "Paragraphe" FROM "DOSSIER_LINKS" WHERE "DOSSIER_LINKS"."DOLI_DOSS_ID" = ?) AND "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_NUMERO" = ?))

Parameter: @Rang4 : Int32. Length: 0. Precision: 0. Scale: 0. Direction: Input. Value: 2.
and my error :
[System.FormatException] = {"@Entites2 : %D% - FormatException"}
If I execute query in Query Analyzer (without parameter : values directly on query) there is no errors.
ThanksFabien

I just migrated a stand alone MSAccess2003 .mdb to an .adp Access Data Project. In the former .mdb I had a parameter query to search for a portion of a 17 character part number, primarily the 2 grouping of 4 digits as in (00-0000-XXXX-0-00). In Access the query was written as
LIKE “*”&[Enter a portion of the part number]&”*”
Then we ported to a web based portal using MSAccess’s DAP (data access pages) and I was told due to ADO vs DAO the query had to be rewritten using the % symbol as in
LIKE “%”&[Enter a portion of the part number]&”%”
So far so good. However with the migration to a SQL Server and ANSI-92 compatible wildcard characters this has changed. The new query looks like this
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n’%’
The problem I am having is the prompt for data entry works but the wildcard will only return matching values from the first digit place holder. Some of the books I have read said to use the Under Score character to move the search criteria to the section I want to search which would be starting with the 9th character (00-0000-XXXX-0-00) as in
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n’________%
However the Under Score only works with Alpha Characters and not Numeric.
So how do I write a SQL Server Query to perform like it did in Access?

The sql below is a simple example of LIKE query with a table of wildcard strings. I hope this helps others.
declare @LikeTable Table
(
LikeValue nvarchar(50)
)
insert into @LikeTable (LikeValue) values ('%blah')
insert into @LikeTable (LikeValue) values ('%abc%')
insert into @LikeTable (LikeValue) values ('%edf%')
insert into @LikeTable (LikeValue) values ('car%')
insert into @LikeTable (LikeValue) values ('%ome%')
declare @CompareValue nvarchar(50)
set @CompareValue = 'some value'

Hi
First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
I handeled a few issues
1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]
So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.
Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work
Could someone plz help
Thanks in advance

Please help.
Has anyone seen a problem querying Excel or Access database when the "LIKE" clause is used with the "*" wildcard? The problem I'm seeing is that the query fails to return a dataset whenever "*" wildcard is used.
For Example,
sQry="Select * From [EmployeeData$] WHERE Id LIKE 'AAA'" 'query WORKS
sQry="Select * From [EmployeeData$] WHERE Id LIKE 'AAA*'" 'query does NOT WORK
Assume that Table name is "EmployeeData", with "ID", "Name" and "Birthdate" as Fields.
Data:
ID Name Birthdate
AAA

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!!
-- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1
if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?

For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I want to do it using SELECT. Is it possible?

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.

Hi,New to .Net and SQL. I have two tables that I have joined together. RentalControl_Main has the rental informationd and an Adjuster ID that links to the ADjuster table and the adjusters name. I am trying to create a report that gives the "Single" adjuster name and the totals for all of their contracts. I have a details report that gives each contract info. for each specific adjusters rentals. However, I want to just list the adjuster once and give all of their totals. In my SQL statement I have all of it written out and just need to knowwhat to do in place of 'Alex Early' that will give me all of the distinct adjusters.Do I need to code this on the page with a do while loop?Appreciate any help.SELECT SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) AS AmtAvg, SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) AS DayAvg, SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate * dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) AS TotAvgFROM dbo.RentalControl_Main INNER JOIN dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster ON dbo.RentalControl_Main.AdjusterID = dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster.AdjusterIDWHERE (dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster.AdjusterName = 'Alex Early' AND (dbo.RentalControl_Main.DateClose IS NOT NULL) AND (dbo.RentalControl_Main.AgencyID = '2')

I am a beginner with SQL, so please excuse any ignorance here.
Under SQL 6.5, when executing a SELECT DISTINCT query against a table in a certain database, the results were returned alphabetized. Now, after migrating the database to SQL 7.0, the same query does not return the results alphabetized. If I add an index for the column specified in the query to the table, the results come back alphabetized. Is there any way to correct this other than adding indexes for all columns in all tables that are queried in this manner?
TIA,
Paige

Hello,
I want to select all the customerIDs where an email address exists. Easy: select customerid from customers where emailaddress = @emailaddress
Now I want to use the resulted customerIDs from the above query as a parameter to select all the email addresses with emailstatus equal to 3.
How do I create this type of while statement in a stored procedure? I prefer to not create a temporary table.
My idea was to do it like this:
select emailaddress from emailaddresseswhere emailstatus = 3 and customerid = (select customerid from customers where emailaddress = @emailaddress)
This doesn't seems to work. I get the error:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
thanks

I have a pretty big SQL query with a one to many sort of relationship...
There are client accounts that we're reporting on. Each account has four different historical categories attached. Each historical category can have maybe fifty entries in each, sorted by date.
I need to figure out how to grab the unique accounts and show only the three most recent results per each historical subcategory with the account... the three most current results from each of the four subcategories, displayed by the parent client account number.
I've created four views to isolate the subcategories as a start, thinking I could bring them into a parent query ...
but my question would be... how do I generate JUST the top three historical transactions by account number? If I select TOP 3, I get only the 3 newest in the MASTER LIST, not per client account, which is what I need to do.
Does this make sense? I could really use a good SQL helping hand with this one.
Thank you!

and dept IN (50,51,52,55,57,60,61,62,63,64,65,68,69)
I first time I run the query I get the correct result. Subsequent times that I run the query the result is 1 record with a Null value. The data has not changed. If I stop MSSQLSERVER and restart the service I get the correct result the first time and the Null value each time thereafter. Anybody out there with any idea of what is going on here?
