Hello Everyone,
I'm new to SQL within the past year and am having quite a bit of difficulty trying to replace NULL in a column cast as smalldatetime. What i'd like to do is return the value "EMPLOYEED" within any record containing a null value, obviously I need to CAST the column to a varchar but when I try and do this I keep getting errors. I'm trying hard to find the answer online but the only examples I get are is for money and i'm not sure i'm completely understanding how this is supposed to work. I've also tried using the ISNULL function as well - getting the same errors in this case (though i'm using ISNULL successfully in another column).
It seems to me that I should be able to write the syntax as the following:
CAST(ISNULL(TerminationDate, 'EMPLOYEED') AS Varchar(20)) AS TerminationDate
----OR---
CAST(COALESCE(TerminationDate, 'EMPLOYEED') AS Varchar(20)) AS TerminationDate
I'm new enough that I could just be confusing myself, but I really seriously cannot find any good explanations or examples online for what I am trying to do.
Can some nice SQL expert provide assistance?
Thanks!!!!!

Current situation:
Our data source is Oracle and there is a particular column, called number_of_units, with datatype numeric(28, 0) that we will extract into SQL Server data destination.
However, in our SQL Server data destination this column has a datatype numeric(34, 14). This is because we used this column to do some basic calculation (e.g. number_of_units/60) and we need to keep the decimals in tact.
In our current SSIS, we do a select query with CAST from the data source:
SELECT CAST(number_of_units AS NUMERIC(34, 14)) AS number_of_units FROM TABLE_A;
Will casting up from numeric(28,0) to (34,14) cause bigger number of bytes to be transferred across from the data source? I am talking about millions of records over here.
Are there other better ways of doing it?
1) Don't do a CAST in the select query (i.e. SELECT number_of_units FROM TABLE_A).
2) Add a derived/calculated column with numeric(34,14) in SSIS to fill in the calculation.
3) Lastly, load the calculation into SQL Server data destination.

Hi,
Table A
member_no - character 5course1 - character 1course2 - character 1
Table Bcourse_no - character 1course_name - character 20I'd like a resultant view that contains A.member_no, A.course1, B.coursename as COURSE1NAME, A.course2, B.course_name as COURSE2NAMEI know how to make the join and pick up the name for course1 but I DON'T know how to pick up both names of course 1 and course 2 at the same time.I'm thinking I have to make a join on one column and then join the result of that a second time to pick up the other column's value?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,Stewart

Hi,
My users table contains a field called researchInterestId which looks like this: 1, 5, 10
This is because users where allows to select multiple options when choosing their research interests.
I have another table which contains the names of those research interests, which looks like this:
researchInterestId researchInterestName
1 Biology
2 Cancer
My question is, when selecting my list of users, i wish to also display the names of their research interests. I know how to inner join but im not sure in this case as there are multiple values (1, 5, 10)
Hope that makes sense and that someone can point me in the right direction or let me know what this type of query is called?
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to do a simple select statement which returns data from the table. The criteria is only if the count of the records is more than 10. Say, if a vendor called test exists 10 times in the table, I would like to display that vendor only, if less than 10, then that vendor won't be displayed at all.
Here is what I have started.
Select vendor_id, vendor_name, Invoice_Date, Invoice_Number from Vendors where Invoice_Date Between '01/01/2007' And '03/03/2008' Group By vendor_id, vendor_name, Invoice_Date, Invoice_Number Having Count(Invoice_Number) > 10
This doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem that I've been unable to work out.
I'm wanting to count the number of people that fall into a specific age group. For simplicity, lets say I'm JUST after people that are 10 years old.
This is what I'm trying to do:
SELECT 'Aged 10 years old', count(*)
FROM [People]
WHERE ([DOB] + [Date Entered]) = ?5 years?
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks

I have worked on developing a project that I am pleased to say is comming along nicely considering I have only been doing programming for a few weeks but I am now stuck and may be going down the wrong path.
I have two tables one that is used for logging via username and password, it also holds a third coloumn realting to the suers account that they do not enter. Once they have logged in I am recalling the users identity and running a query to establish what account the user belongs to. Later on in the script I am trying to run a query on a table called orders that list all orders belonging to that account that was established in the earlier query labelled as 'accountrequesting'.
The script I have below returns all orders for all accounts even though I have tried a wide variety of endings on the Sql search on the orders table.
The code may look a little untidy and to advanced programmers may look rough but I am still learning.....please can anyone help.
sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
'collecting the user identity
Dim user as string
user=request("User.Identity.Name")
'running a query to establish what account they have access to all from users table
Dim accountrequesting as string
accountrequesting = "select account_id from users where username = " & user & "'"
'opening the data source and connection
Dim ConnectionString As String = "Data Source=xxxx;Database=xxxx;User ID=xxxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxx"
Dim Myconn as New SQLConnection(connectionstring)
'this is the line I am stuck on, the account id in this orders table needs to match against the value gained in accountrequesting above tried a lot of different endings
Dim MySQL as string ="select prodshipped, account_id from orders"
'produces output
Dim ds as Dataset=New Dataset()
Dim Cmd as new SQLDataAdapter (MySQL, Myconn)
Cmd.Fill (ds,"orders")
MyDataGrid.datasource=ds.tables("orders").defaultview
MyDataGrid.Databind()
End Sub

Hi,
Any help with this would be great. I have SQL tables all in the following format:
ID_PRODUCT,
ID_MARKET,
ID_BUCKET,
ID_COLLECTION,
ID_MEASURE,
MEASURE_VALUE
Now each table holds different measures e.g. 326, 229 & 278. I would like to subtract the measure_value of 229 from 278 and then add the measure_value from 278 from this. e.g
(326-229) + 278 = new measure_value.
This is for each id-product where the following 3 conditions meet:
the ID_PRODUCT, ID_MARKET AND ID_BUCKET match. Im lost, any help would be great.
thanks
Jay
p.s this what i have started with at the moment as a test however it dont work.
SELECT ID_PRODUCT,
ID_MARKET,
ID_BUCKET,
ID_COLLECTION,
ID_MEASURE,
MEASURE_VALUE
FROM (SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_PRODUCT,
dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_MARKET,
dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_BUCKET,
dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_COLLECTION,
dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_MEASURE,
dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.MEASURE_VALUE + DBO.DPOUT_LSBP_229.MEASURE_VALUE as 'MEASURE_VALUE'
FROM dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326 INNER JOIN dbo.dpout_lsbp_229 on
dbo.dpout_exceptions_326.id_product = dbo.dpout_lsbp_229.id_product
where dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_PRODUCT = dbo.dpout_lsbp_229.id_product
and dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_MARKET = DBO.DPOUT_LSBP_229.ID_MARKET
and dbo.DPOUT_EXCEPTIONS_326.ID_BUCKET = DBO.DPOUT_LSBP_229.ID_BUCKET)

I'm very green with SQL so I could do with some advice please.
I need to pull some data from a table based on the year portion of a datetime field, so far I've got this...
USE MfgSys803
SELECT orderdate, ordernum FROM orderhed
WHERE ((SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),GETDATE(),111)) = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),ORDERDATE,111) FROM orderhed))
... the field 'orderdate' is the datetime. The purpose of the WHERE statement is to get the current year fromt he system and then compare this to the current year of the field 'orderdate'.
Unfortunately I get the error...
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
... the 'SELECT CONVERT' portions of the WHERE work fine on thier own but I can't use them together.
Hopefully this makes sense, thanks :)

Hi All,
With the OLEDB source, is it wrong to use a table / view as a source and only check the columns required or is it beneficial to write a select col1, col2 etc etc as a SQL command?
I cannot see any difference in performance between the two.
Thanks.

Greetings,
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]
END
Thanks

im doing a sum on a table and it either returns a number in decimal format or 'null' . The problem is when it returns null i want it to just make the text say '0.00'. So i did a test on the object that if it returns NULL just print '0.00' but if it is not null it tells me that there is a number there and i want to store that as a decimal and print it out. But i get an error for a type cast when im not it should not even be going to that part of the code. In the code below the first executescaler will return null so it should just go straight to the else. But it gives me the type cast error in the if that shouldnt be seen. The error and code are below. //Borrower NSF FEES

If I run the following query in SQL Server Management Studio it returns the correct results: (Searching the table for the field "SpecimenID (an INT)" against the data entered (a Text Field - "7575-01") from the submitted form.
SELECT ClinicalID, SpecimenID, PatientID, LabID, Accession, Bacillus, Francisella, Yersinia, Brucella, Burkholderia, Coxiella, Staphylococcus, Other, OtherExplanation, CollectionDate, strddlTransportMedium, strddlSpecimenSource, UserName, Test, SpecimenCount, DateAndTimeFROM ClinicalSpecimenWHERE (SpecimenID = CAST('7575-01' AS VARCHAR(50)))ORDER BY SpecimenID DESCHowever, when I try to use the same logic in the ASPX.VB code behind page, as follows below, I either get an error message (Syntax error converting the varchar value '' to a column of data type int.) or record not found.... Can someone please explain what I am missing here....
MySQL = "SELECT * FROM ClinicalSpecimen WHERE SpecimenID = CAST(('" & AccessionPresent & "') AS VARCHAR(50))"
*"AccessionPresent" is the value of the text field retrieved from the form.
I guess what I am really asking is how can I search for an INT value in a table using a VARCHAR Field.
Thank you for any or all assistance !!!

Hi over there,I hope this question is not too simple, but I didn't manage to figure out why...I would need an explanation for following issue:I'm reading data from a database (MSSQL) and it the column "PersonBirthday" is DBNull.I wanted to prevent the error (Textbox.Text = DBNull) with an IIF. The thing is I get thistypecast exception:"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid." This code is NOT working, why? txtPersonBirthday.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) =
True, String.Empty,
CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")) When I'm using this code, which is for me obviously the same, just with an if-block it works,and I want to know why - please explain. If IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) Then txtPersonBirthday.Text = String.Empty Else txtPersonBirthday.Text = CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") End IfThanks in advance,cheers,uquandux If IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) Then txtPersonBirthday.Text = String.Empty Else txtPersonBirthday.Text = CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") End If

Can't seem to find why I'm getting this error: Specified cast is not valid.
Ok, using a stored procedure for SQL Server 2000 and here is the main part of it:
SELECT id, rank, firstName, lastName, service, status, createdTime FROM accessRequest WHERE lastName LIKE @tLastName AND firstName LIKE @tFirstName
And the C# code behind from the class file:
SqlDataReader spResults;
conn.Open();
spResults = command.ExecuteReader();
while( spResults.Read() )
{
AccessRequestSearch request = new AccessRequestSearch( (int)spResults.GetInt32( 0 ), spResults.GetString( 2 ), spResults.GetString( 3 ), spResults.GetString( 1 ), spResults.GetString( 4 ), spResults.GetString( 5 ), Convert.ToDateTime(spResults.GetString( 6 )));
searchResults.Add( request ); // Add to Array List
}
spResults.Close();
The part in red is where I think it's happening because that is what I just added to the request. createdTime in the table is set as DateTime.
Can anyone see what I am missing here?
More info is available if needed.
Thanks,
Zath

I have a table with a column called Sample_Date_and_Teime with a row definition of char(16). What is stored in this table is a date (ie. 1020621141517000) The first char is the century, the next are the year, the next two are the month, the next two are the day, the next 2 the hour, the next two are the minutes, and the next 2 are the seconds and the last 3 are to be ignored... what I need to do is write a select statement that converts this column into a datetime so that I can then do a insert into a new table by selecting from this table based on a date range. PLEASE HELP:confused: :confused: :confused:
