Hi,
I have a problem. I need to rename all columns of a database to uppercase. Since SQL SERVER 2005 does not support changing system tables is there a smooth way to do this? Has anyone ideas for a script? point me to the right direction.
I have found the stored procedure sp_rename which could be useful (or would it be better to alter the tables)...
So any help would be appriciated very much...

An IBM Global Services consultant is telling my client that in order to have SAP BI read any data from any other application supported by SQL Server 2005, that all tables and fields MUST be in UPPER CASE. This would mean that SAP BI could not read ANY data from AdventureWorks (which everyone needs ) but more importantly from 95% of applications written and stored on SQL Server. I find this to be ludicrious, frankly, but don't know how to find out if it is true. Anyone?

Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.

Ho can I convert first letters of a string to Upper Case (i.e. UNITED KINGDOM - Untited Kingdom). I have country names table which has all entries in uper case. This makes a select box very larg and unproportional.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello, we've an Oracle transition in the pipeline and want to convertall our database objects to upper case. Any one got a script ortechnique (other than manual) to do it?Many thanks, Kevin.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAlmost all of our character fields are stored in upper-case. Is there an easy way to force SQL Server char and varchar fields to upper-case? Something I can do in SQL Server instead of in the client? It needs to apply to any new records.
There are some exceptions (email addresses for one). I don't mind going through each field and changing something.
Thanks!

Can we set the Uper/Lower case in server wide in SQL server 2000 as like case sensitive.
Thanks,
Ravi
Currently i have 2 type of data
A and a
But when i try to:
select * from tableA where col = 'a'
then all record with A and a will be selected, any way to avoid it and select only record with col ='a'?
While creating a table, can we default a column to be UPPER. So that even if we insert a lower case, it should be converted to UPPER case.

I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,

Just trying to tidy up a database I have inherited. In doing so and fixing some incorrect casing in some of the names the rename operations appear to be refusing to change it (see messages below). Is there a deploy setting I can set on this?
Relevant part of my publish profile is below. Note that IgnoreWhitespace, Ignore column collation, Ignore Keyword casing are all off

Hi,
I have a dataset in MDX using an OLE DB connexion. Here is the query:
Code Snippet
WITH
MEMBER [Number Proposal Issued] as
'[Measures].[# Proposal]'
MEMBER [Value Proposal Issued] as
'[Measures].[Amount - E]'
select
{ [Fact Proposal].[Proposal Status].allmembers*{[Number Proposal Issued],[Value Proposal Issued] }} ON 1
,non empty
[Time Key Issuing Date].[Month].children
ON 0
FROM [BV Sales DW]
where {[Time Key Issuing Date].[Year].&[2008]}
It is simple, it works. BUT, the dataset fields take the name of the returned columns and in this case, the [Time Key Issuing Date] values. The aim of this query is to be able to change the year at will (in the where).
For the moment, the fields has the full tuple name like Time_Key_Issuing_Date_Month__2008_1 for january. If I change the year to 2007, I will get Time_Key_Issuing_Date_Month__2007_1 so a different name.
So my question is: is there a way to call the first column for example "January" whatever the year is so I can call it in my report? Something like:
[Time Key Issuing Date].[Month].&[ (param year) ]&[1] as January
,[Time Key Issuing Date].[Month].&[ (param year) ]&[2] as February
...
on 0
I have tried to rename them in the dataset fields tab but when I put another name, it says the field doesn't exist.
We have managed to do it with code in the report but it a huge code not very easy to handle.
Thanks in advance for all help you can provide.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
I am trying to do a query where I need to use as little C# as possible to build my gridview. Basically I have a column called statusID. There are about 15 options for this column but I only want to count certain ones. I want to count when statusID = 3 and output that into a column called "fullUnitsUsed" but when the value is 4 or > 13 I want it to count and put the result into a column called "halfUnitsUsed". I also want it to count based on the month. To accomplish this I have used CASE and GROUP BY. This has worked to some extent. Currently if I COUNT for one month I get the correct number of fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed used for January. Unfortunately the query returns 2 records for the month. The first one has a value for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed is NULL, the second record has fullUnitsUsed as NULL and halfUnitsUsed has the correct value. I was hoping to output one record where both fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed have data. My other problem is that if I test for the entire year (which is what this query is supposed to do) there are 5 records returned for each month, 3 of the records have fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed both as NULL and for the other 2, one has fullUnitsUsed with data and the other has halfUnitsUsed with data and the other column in both records is NULL. The values for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed are counted for the entire year as well, which I only want it to count based on each month. Below is my query, any suggestions about how to approach this will be greatly appreciated. If any clarification is needed please let me know. Again if I could get this to work completely with SQL and not need to use any more C# than I have to it would be preferable.
SELECT People.lastName + ', ' + People.firstName AS fullName, Property.Name, NYSDDSORegion.Description, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 3 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS fullUnitsUsed,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 4 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 14 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 15 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 16 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 17 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 18 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 19 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 20 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS halfUnitsUsed
FROM Attend INNER JOIN People ON Attend.personID = People.personID
INNER JOIN Property ON Attend.propertyID = Property.propertyID
INNER JOIN NYSDDSORegion ON Property.RegionID = NYSDDSORegion.RegionID
CROSS JOIN OpenDays
WHERE (Attend.attendDate BETWEEN '1/1/2007' AND '12/31/2007')
GROUP BY Property.Name, People.lastName, NYSDDSORegion.Description, People.firstName, OpenDays.monthID, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays, Attend.statusID
ORDER BY Property.Name, fullName, NYSDDSORegion.Description
I'm unable to specify multiple columns in my order by statement if i use a case statement.
Does anyone know why this is, or what syntax would make this work?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, all here,
I am having a question-is it possible to update several columns using CASE expression in SQL language? like if I wanna set each CASE for each column.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help and guidance.
I am writing a fairly simple sql, and I would like to write something like
Code Snippet
select
firstname as firstname,
case
when firstname = 'Peter' then 'yes'
else
'no'
end as whatever
from
MyTable
where
whatever = 'yes'
And this should then select out the rows where column number 2 is 'yes'.
It doesn't work, and I have to copy the firstname = 'Peter' into the where clause.
But why?
Is it possible to combine a CASE statement with two different columns to retrieve data into one result column? In one column it has multiple JobCode, but this needs to be divided. The only way I can see to do this is take the data from another column to get the results.Ex. JobCode - has one code for several job descriptions (there are about 30), but all within this code cannot have the same level of access. So I need to divide them out, and put them in one column for AccessLevel.
JobTitle - has one code for one job, (but there are over 100).I want to pull from both columns to get the results I need to assign appropriate access level in one column.
Case JobCode (they all have same job code, but everyone in this job code should not have same access)
When '45' Then '1' (Principal, Asst. Prin, or any Administrator, Counselors)
When '25' Then '2' (this could be teacher, etc. )
Case JobTitle (this is how access should be)
When '12345' Then '1' (this is Administration only)

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 as a test environment. I have it connected to a SQL 2000 server. I would like to use a Select Case Statement with the name of a column from a SQL Query as the Case Trigger. Assuming the SQLDataSource is named tCOTSSoftware and the column I want to use is Type, it would look like the following in classic ASP:
Select Case tCOTSSoftware("Type")
Case 1
execute an SQL Update Command
Case 2
execute a different SQL Update Command
End Select
What would a comparable ASP.Net (Visual Basic) statement look like? How would I access the column name used in the SQLDataSource?
I am relatively new to complex queries and need creating a query using a CASE in order to update columns to be either A or B. A few things about this is that I am joining tables from linked servers as well. This is the last part. I execute the query and receive the error:

select (select FirstName from [ZZZXXX].HCM.dbo.tPerson where PersonGUID = tPersonJobHistAlias.SupervisorPersonGUID) as supervisorFirstName,
(select LastName from [ZZZXXX].HCM.dbo.tPerson where PersonGUID = tPersonJobHistAlias.SupervisorPersonGUID) as supervisorLastName,

That may not be the most exact TITLE I have used for a question as CASE may not be the best expression to use but I have a query:
select AR.ClientID,
AR.ReferenceID,
AAC.SequenceID,
AA.AppearanceDate,
CASE
WHEN AAC.Outcome IS NULL Then 'Cancelled' else
[Code]....
This returns the following data set:
ClientID ReferenceID
SequenceID AppeareanceDate
Outcome Rownum
1000000 2
2000358 2005-11-07
Yes 1
[Code] ...
What I want the eventually solution to be is that for each unique/distinct client, reference and sequence there is one record (row). Based on the row_number, I want the first 'AppearanceDate' renamed to 'AppearanceDate1' with the first AppearanceDate as the data and the first Outcome to be renamed 'Outcome1' with the first Outcome as the data. Any subsequent rows would follow as columns:
ClientID ReferenceID
SequenceID AppeareanceDate1
Outcome1 AppearanceDate2
Outcome2
1000000 2
2000358 2005-11-07
Yes NULL
[Code] ...
Only four AppearanceDates and outcomes are required based on the unique/distinct Client, Reference and SequenceIDs. How I can loop through the Appearances based on the row_number and show each record in one row?
Below is the SQL Query i am currently having
SELECT IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.ClaimNum,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionCode,
IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionDate,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.ClaimNum,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionAmount,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.UserName--,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionDate
[Code] ....
And here is the result dataset
ClaimNumTransactionDateUsername ClaimNum TransactionAmountUserName
2000074 20150209jerry.witt 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL
2000074 20150626DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL
[Code] .....
So,if we look at the result set, we notice 2 conditions where the IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username is like 'Data' and if we see the transaction date then sometimes that is the max transaction date or sometimes there are transactions that happened after but that doesn't have like '%data%' in username . So, i need to add a new column to my sql query which should basically verify if the username is like '%data%' and if that is the max(transaction date) or even if there are any transactions after that doesn't have like '%data%' then YES else No.
