I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable) because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the value?
I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places. But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted. How can I solve or get around this problem?

I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g. ‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format. How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals 158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“& 20060715 0001010100010101
I was wondering what kind of SQL statement I would need to do the following:For example I have a table that has an ID (vID) column, product id (vPID) and a timestamp (vTime). What I essentially want to do is go through this table and find the top 10 instances of any vPID. I will illsutrate it below.- vID vPID vTime 1 25 101012323 2 25 101012323 3 09 101012323 4 25 101012323 5 25 101012323 6 11 101012323 7 25 101012323 8 10 101012323 9 10 101012323 10 25 101012323 11 25 101012323 12 25 101012323 13 25 101012323 14 11 101012323 15 25 101012323Now what I want to do is return the top vPID instances from highest to lowest so my output should return 25, 11, 10 etc.I hope what I'm asking made sense to you guys, basically im just looking for the top 10 instances of a any product id (vPID) Thanks.
Hello All, I am working on a ranking scenario for a client and I am stumped. Here's the situation...I have an aggregated table that has number of items sold for a salesperson for a given pay period. My client wants to the top 10 salespeople in a report. If two sales people tie, then they should have the same rank, and then the next salesperson in the ranking should have the appropriate number in the sort order. I am trying to figure out how to accomplish with the rank column below.
My small number of brain cells prohibits me from figuring this out. I've got a table
ProviderName EOPCodeTotalDenied Memorial Hosp66$4,598 Memorial HospA3$2,133 Memorial Hosp22$1,111 Memorial Hosp20$912 Memorial Hosp39$4,321 Memorial Hospb2$62 Parkdate Hospb2$6,251 Parkdate Hosp66$2,346 Parkdate Hosp22$1,252 Parkdate Hosp20$4,056 Stone HospV33$8,059
I need to output this table as below (with a denial rank for each hospital -- DESC sort on TotalDenied). I'm stuck on how to get the DenialRank column to work.
ProviderName EOPCodeTotalDeniedDenialRank Memorial Hosp66$4,5981 Memorial Hosp39$4,3212 Memorial HospA3$2,1333 Memorial Hosp22$1,1114 Memorial Hosp20$9125 Memorial Hospb2$626 Parkdate Hospb2$6,2511 Parkdate Hosp20$4,0562 Parkdate Hosp66$2,3463 Parkdate Hosp22$1,2524 Stone HospV33$8,0591
Im working on a table in SQL server 2005 (sp2). A piece of that table is as below. I need a SQL code that adds a new column called rank that ranks starting from 0 by Tire_ID by date asc. For example, for Tire_ID = 41317 and 41350 the result will look like in the second table:
I have a sales report showing Customer, tons shipped, and sales amount with two parameters: year and month. I want to show the ranking by month by both tons and sales. It is easy enough to sort the results by one of the measures and compute a line number but I can't seem to get the rank function to work to compute the ranking by two different measures.
I have a table that has several dozen account numbers. In the same table, each account number has several thousand control numbers (apparently the person who designed the DB never heard of Dr. Codd).
Anyway, I want to get the last five created control numbers for each account number. I have a "CreatedDateTime" field that I can use to order the control numbers by creation. I can use the Top and Rank functions to get the last five for an individual account number but I cannot seem to produce a solution with the last five for each account number.
I'm building a standard search function for this project im working on and I wanted to know how could I do the following; Basically want I am using the standard "LIKE" function to search keywords but I also want to rank the returns based on how many matches. For example if someone uses the keywords "dog run park fast" and I have a couple of records that have certain amount combinations with these words, how would I return the one that has the most combinations to the least. If one record had "dog, run,park", another has "dog run" and the last would have "fast". How would I being those results in that order.Thanks for any help.
The problem is : I have table : -------------------------------- ...User ... Speed(minute)... Maria 0.8 John 0.5 Alan 0.8 Anne 2.0 Smith 1.0 Kate 1.5 Evan 1.5 --------------------------------
---> I wanna set ranking for them such as:
Rank.....User.....Speed(minutes) 1 John 0.5 2 Maria 0.8 2 Alan 0.8 4 Smith 1.0 5 Kate 1.5 5 Evan 1.5 7 Anne 2.0 ---------------------------------
A few weeks ago i posted this and got it to work perfectly. Now im trying to retreive the '3' closest stores rather than just the '1' closest store. How would I go about doing this? I tried using 'TOP 3' in the subquery but you can only retrieve one value.
Here is the origonal post:
"I have a table containing 100 stores, 5000 customers, and the distance between each store and each customer. I am trying to build a query that simply lists each customer and which store is closest and its distance.
Right now it looks like this: Customer1|store1|33 Customer1|store2|15 Customer1|store3|28 Customer1|store4|35
SELECT CustomerPost, StorePost, StoreName, Distance FROM Customer_Store_Distance2 as T WHERE (Distance = (SELECT MIN(Distance) FROM Customer_Store_Distance2 WHERE CustomerPost = T.CustomerPost))
how I could achieve a ranking number, where I have some grouping involved.I want to have the groups in sets of 4, but if I get to a new person the ranking increases, even if I haven't filled the group. For example:
Name Year Sales Ranking -------------------- ----------- ----------- -------------------- John Smith 2009 1296 1 John Smith 2010 1296 1 John Smith 2011 1296 1 John Smith 2012 1296 1 John Smith 2013 1296 2
[code]....
So, when I get to John's 5 year, the Rank increased. I then only had two more rows before I get to Nina, but the Rank number goes up, as the details are for a different person from the prior user.
Select *, DENSE_RANK() over (Order by Name) + ((RANK() over (Partition by Name Order by Year) - 1) /4) as Ranking from #Test Order by Name, Year
Drop Table #TestThis works for John, but Nina then has a Ranking of 2 for her only year, where as she should be 3. Steve also then has a value one too low for all of his ranks.
I have tried to get answers on this before, but haven't had any luck. I am working on trying to finish a report using SSRS in Visual Studio.
The report is a Sales report. I have the report grouped by Location of our Offices and their Customers grouped underneath. The Customers revenue is Summed on the Customers group footer. I have this sorted by Top customer (highest revenue) to lowest customer (lowest revenue). This is fine and great, but now I need to limit the number of Customers (there could be upwards of 100 or more per Office) to the Top 20.
I would like to do this on the report side, but if I need to do it in my SQL query I will.
I would like to get the row number for the Customer group footer. Then I can limit these <=20, but when trying on the report side doing
=rownumber(Customer)
I get an aggregate function error for incorrect Scope.
Any help would definately be appreciated. I have been stuck for about a week now trying to figure this out.
Hi everyone,I am interested in showing a ranking of each result that I get. Basically, the results will be the time of a race along with their name. However, what I want to do is also have a third column that will show their place. I would like my result to be like this:Place Name Time 1 Bob 1:00.002 Bill 1:00.012 Rob 1:00.014 Jill 1:00.025 Jon 1:00.035 Joe 1:00.037 Jane 1:00.04 Records are constantly being added to the table, so the place must be calculated dynamically. Now, I do realize that SQL 2005 has the wonderful RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [time]) AS [Place] feature, but unfortunately SQL 2000 does not have that mechanism. What is the best way to display these results? Should they be included calculated on the SQL side or using the datagridview control? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jason
I am having an issue with a SQL query I wrote in SQL 2000. I am almost there but am lacking in one area, hoping a better programmer than me and a fresh set of eyes can pick off my mistake.
The goal is very straight forward, order and rank the following fields: R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
The issue lies in my sub query in the AND / OR joins... This query will work if I sort and rank on two fields, but if I try three or more it does not work properly.
( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblWeeklyStandings_All R2 WHERE R2.AutoPoolID = R1.AutoPoolID AND R2.Week = R1.Week AND ( R2.PSWins > R1.PSWins OR R2.PSWins = R1.PSWins AND R2.PSPoints_Total > R1.PSPoints_Total OR R2.PSPoints_Total = R1.PSPoints_Total AND R2.PSTBDifference < R1.PSTBDifference ) ) + 1 AS Rank
FROM dbo.tblWeeklyStandings_All R1 INNER JOIN dbo.qryUsers_SDR ON R1.AutoPoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.AutoPoolID AND R1.PoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PoolID WHERE (R1.PoolType = '2007' OR R1.PoolType = '2008') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.OrderBy1 = '6') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PointSpread = 1)
ORDER BY R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
At this point I am ready to buy SQL 2005 because I think this gets easier, hoping a 2000 wiz can help me correct my error, or missing "(", or something!
Here are the results: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 4. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
As you can see the ranking is not correct. It should be the following: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 2. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not, frustrating!
In different scenerios, I am ranking the following way when ties occur. My code sometimes does this correctly but as you can see above it fails in certain areas, like it forgets R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference....
Rank 1 Tied 1 Tied 3 4 5 Tied 5 Tied 5 Tied 8
etc...
The most frustrating thing is the sort order is correct, it is the rank sub query that fails under certain scenerious...
I've recently tasked my self whereby I wish to rank the info off of a CV and then find matches for this information against a database containing job info, so I'm left with a list of jobs with their relevant perspective possible candidates. I'm thinking of importing the cv as text then manipulating it using Full_text ranking procedures.
Question is do people feel this is the best way of writing what is basically a matching process ?? Is there any 3rd party software out there which does this sort of thing already ??
Just can't figure this out. I'll try not to give a long-winded explanation (I hope), let's say this is the table, for example: [Table1] RowNumber | Value 1 | 4 2 | 6 3 | 3 4 |10 5 | 6 6 | 5 7 | 8 8 | 8 9 | 2 10 | 6
I want to write a query that creates a column whose values are similar to (ROW_NUMBER -1), and resets each time a value is present. Using the above example, 6 will be the test value. So, I want to know how many rows it takes till 6 is repeated.
I think PARTITION BY can be used somewhere, with the ORDER BY on the [RowNumber] - but I'm just not sure on which ranking function to use, and how to reset the Ranking on the number 6 (above example).
Any help would be appreciated. This has been a mind-teaser for me, and I give
There are three columns I need to query and rank, then group and total. I'm using MS SQL server 2000 and it doesn’t have a ranking function like the newer SQL server and oracle has. Does anyone have a clever way to create or simulate a ranking function? Thanks so much! Jake :confused:
I need to use mssql to create a ranking of some kind. This is the situation: I need to assign position to a list of students based on thier scores. e.g Student Score Position StudentA 56 4 StudentB 78 1 StudentC 66 2 StudentD 56 4
I need to create the positions based on the scores of the ctudents. I will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
i know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but, does anybody know of a reasonably understandable way to rank XML node path results based on keyword search terms? seems like there are tons of uber-complex docs on the internet about this. i dont mind if it is a bit of a work-around, i am just looking for something that is reasonable non-complex that i can wrap my mind around. links etc apprecaited.
