Is there a t-sql shortcut/ quick way to return the full max record.
So basically if I had:
prog_area glh description
HS 200 health and social care
EN 300 engineering
HS 400 health care
EN 250 engineering and construction
so grouping by prog_area and taking max glh would return appropriate descriptions like:
HS 400 health care
EN 300 engineering
This is quite a simple example and I would be using it on much larger datasets. I know how to do it by doing a join to itself with max glh but it seems to me there should be an easier way to return the appropriate full record set. Hopefully somethin fast in t-sql
I've been looking for examples online to write a SPROC to get some data. Here are the tables.
Album_Category AlbumCategoryID (PK, int, not null) Caption (nvarchar(max), not null) IsPublic (bit, not null)
Albums AlbumID (PK, int, not null) AlbumCategoryID (int, null) Caption (nvarchar(max), not null) IsPublic (bit, not null)
I need to return: -[Album_Category].[AlbumCategoryID] -[Album_Category].[Caption] -[Albums].[Single AlubmID for each AlbumCategoryID] -[Count of Albums in each AlbumCategory]
I hope I was fairly clear in what I'm trying to do. Any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a directory of user information. What I would like to do isallow someone to search for person X and then return not only theinformation for person X, but also the information for the next 15people following person X sorted alphabetically by lastname.So if someone searched for the lastname = "Samson", it would return:Samson, JohnSaxton, GregScott, HeatherSears, Rebecca.... (15 names following "Samson) ...How do you in SQL return a record set of X records starting atparticular record (e.g. lastname = "Smith)?Thanks in advance.
I've got a full text index working with a "CONTAINS" clause in the SQL. I'm looking for the character that I can place in CONTAINS(*,'WHATHERE') that will return everything. I've tried "*" and "%" but none of them will do it. Does anybody know?
Is there a SQL command that returns every other result or every 3rd result. The reason being is i am using the data to plot a graph with many thousands of points, it would be useful if not every result was return. I.e. too much data to fit within the screens resolution.

How do i insert a carriage return at the end of an record that's being sent to a flat file? Currently, I get one long string, and would like for SSIS to put carriage returns at the end of each line.
Given the Patients and PatientVisits tables as per below, how do I obtain the most recent (latest) Weight and Height for each patient as per http://www.hazzsoftwaresolutions.net/selectStatement.htm The result of the query should only return 3 rows/records,not 5. Thank you. Greg

Hi all,I am dealing with a very large database, and as soon as a record issubmitted I need to run a full-text query against it. I believe itmight take a while before the record is fully indexed and thereforewould not return a result.How can I check whether the record in question is already indexed, ifat all?This is MS SQL 2005Thanks in advance..
If I know the exact offset I can query easily enough using PropClass and the exact offset. But what if the offset is not included in the range for a given PropClass? How can I get a query to return the last valid record for a given PropClass from within a join?
For example, if my query contained PropClass = 1 and offset = 4, it should return the Amount of .50 from Record with ID 3
This is a query that I am trying to work on:
Code: SELECT v.District, v.PropClass, YearAquired, SUM(cost * cnt), SUM(v.Cost * v.Cnt * t.Amount), SUM(v.Tax), COUNT(*) FROM UPValue v INNER JOIN UPMaster m on m.Year = v.year and m.Account = v.account INNER JOIN UPTable T on t.PropClass = v.PropClass and t.Offset = v.Year - v.YearAquired WHERE v.Year = 2012 and LeaseType = 2 group by v.District, v.PropClass, YearAquired order by v.District, v.PropClass
Using <= will not work because that would return multiple records from UPTable when the offset is < the max offset.
I'm trying to return the total records with my query, but I'm getting the following error:
"Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal."
Here's my query:
set rsFind = conn.Execute ("Select Count(Incident_ID) as TotalCount, Incident_ID, ProblemDescriptionTrunc, Action_Summary, RootCause, Problem_Solution002, " _ & " AssignedTechnician, DATEADD(s, dbo.TTS_Main.DateClosed, '1/1/1970') AS DateClosed, DATEADD(s, dbo.TTS_Main.Date_Opened, '1/1/1970') AS DateOpened, AssignedGroup From tts_main Where ProblemDescriptionTrunc LIKE '%" & prob & "%' And Last_Name LIKE '%" & l_name & "%' " _ & " AND AssignedTechnician LIKE '%" & assigned_tech & "%' And Incident_ID LIKE '%" & ticketnum & "%' AND assignedgroup LIKE '%" & assigned_group & "%' " _ & " Order By DateClosed DESC ")
that above was my solution, get the relatedterms information and comma separate, and then put a # and get all the ids comma separate them and then put the in one field. then I can later parse it in the client
this does not seem like a very good solution ( or is it?) If posible it would be nice to get something like this
TermID, Term, RelatedTermsInformation 1 test RelatedTermsTwoDimentionalArray
but I am not sure how this idea could be implemented using the capabilities of SQL.
my other option is have the client make one call to the database to get the terms and then lots of another calls to get the relatedTerms, but that will mean one trip to the DB for the list term, and one call for every single term found.
Query: SELECT m.MemberID, vw.Category, vw.Type, FROM dbo.TestVW vw JOIN dbo.TestMember m ON vw.MemberKey = m.MemberKey WHERE vw.Type = 'test' GROUP BY m.MemberID,

I have a FullTextSQLQuery which I am trying to search a phrase(The Multi-part identifier) on full text indexed table. I am getting expected results on running the below sql query on QA machine and PreProduction servers, but not getting the same results on our development and production servres as even though same code running.

We are using SqlServer 2008 R2 version on all servers.
I run an ASP.NET website with a monthly contest. Members can enter 1 script for each contest. Scripts can then be voted on. There are three relevant SQL tables: Contest with the field: ContestIDScript with the fields: ContestID, ScriptID, and TitleScriptComment with the fields: ScriptID and Score Scripts are grouped by contest and come in place (first, second, third, etc.) based on the average of all the scores they received. I need a QUICK stored procedure that will accept ScriptID as a parameter and return back the place that script came in, in that particular contest. Currently, I get this information by creating a virtual table and populating it with joined data from Script and ScriptComment. I order the table by average Score desc. I then use a select statement against that table using the ScriptID and return back the row number. This works, but it is very slow. There are times where I might need to list 300 scripts and I need to do this lookup for each script to display what place they came in. I need a much faster way to get the place of any script in a contest. I think the Virtual Table is killing the speed. I have been trying to find a solution using a view or the new SQL 2005 command Row_Number(), but I have been unsuccessful. If anyone has a speedy solution, I would love to hear it. Thanks a lot, Chris Messineo
When I run the same query without a specific key it fails. The results only return a single row containing Name, Description and then ALL keywords for every key ID...very odd behavior.
BTW, I need to do this in a single SQL query and not a stored proc or other method.
We're using ASPUpload as a tool to upload files to our server and savethe details to SQLServer. However, I have an application where I needto return the pkID of the just saved file. I'm assuming that I coulduse the @@Identity command but cannot get this to function.Has anyone used this command with ASPUpload with an success, or anyother methods that could be used?Thanks.
I've created a DTS package runs on every day and night, but now my boss was asking if I can insert an exception code to check the view file.
So.. I need help from you guys, cause I don't know How.
This is my DTS description.
My DB will generate a view called "Calls to Add", then it will run the Transform Data Task and insert into a txt file. once it finished, it will run the Batch file. that is it.
Now My boss wants me to add a checking code between "View to Txt" procedure. If the view has no record inside, than the DTS package should stop and not run.
Dear all, I am using C# , asp.net and sql server 2005. Let me explain the situation. I have written procedure to insert data into the table and return last inserted value by @@identity variable. Now my question is how do I execute this process so that I can Get last inserted variable values Please help thanks
I'm using a Merge statement to update/insert values into a table. The Source is not a table, but the parameters from a Powershell script. I am not using the Primary Key to match on, but rather the Computer Name (FullComputerName).
I am looking on how-to return the Primary Key (ComputerPKID) of an updated record as "chained" scripts will require a Primary Key, new or used.As an aside: the code below does return the newly generated Primary Key of an Inserted record.
I have sql code that returns the correct number of record when run without an aggregate function like count(myfield) and group by myfield. It always returns 86 row which is correct when Select DISTINCT is used. As, expected when DISTINCT is not used I get double the number if rows or 172. But when I count(myfield) and group by myfield the count is 172 and not 86. The strangest thing about this is that when I am grouping a set of items
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
The other group sum up correctly while others don't. What can explain this? Here is the code.
Select DISTINCT ws.p4Districtnumber, ws.cycle, ws.worksetid, count(msi.MeterSessionInputKey) as ASND from fcs.dbo.WorkSet as ws left outer join fcs.dbo.WorkAssignment as wa on ws.WorkSetID = wa.WorkSetID left outer join fcs.dbo.MeterSessionInput as msi on wa.worksetkey = msi.worksetkey

I have written this sample query to search a full-text indexed table and return the results. If the word occurs more than once I want it to return as a new record and the results show a short summary of the location. I was using 'like', but the full table scans were really slowing it down. Can performance be improved for the following (The results returned by my query are accurate)
I need to call the stored procedure below. Basically what I need to know is if the query returns a record? Note I would be happy if I could just return the number Zero if no records are returned. Can someone please help me out here?Here is my query so far in SQL Server. I just don't know how to return a value based upon the result of the records returned from the query. GOCREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetNameStatus]( @CountryId decimal, @NameId decimal, @DescriptionId decimal)AS SELECT Name.Active FROM Name INNER JOIN NameDescription ON Name.NameId = NameDescription.NameId WHERE Name.CountryId=@CountryId AND Name.NameId=@NameId AND NameDescription.DescriptionId=@DescriptionId AND Name.Active='Y'
The 2nd table is for storing product codes for customers, in other words, one product can have different ProductCode for different customers. But some customers do not have ProductCode for a ProductID.
I want to create a query to return all the Products and its ProductCode (null is valid) for a specific customer.
I tried:
SELECT dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductCode, dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID, dbo.tblProducts.ProductName, dbo.tblProducts.ProductID FROM dbo.tblProducts LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblProductCodes ON dbo.tblProducts.ProductID = dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductID WHERE dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID = 2
But the query left out all products that does not have ProductCode value in tblProductCodes table for CustomerID = 2. I want all the ProductName returned from query and render null or empty string for ProductCode value if the code does not exist in tblProductCodes table for the customer.
