Hello all, thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
I'm familiar with the Top command but I need something else to help in a project I'm working on.
I would like to select rows 1 through 100000 from a specific table in one query then 100001 through 200000 in a second query and 200001 through 300000 in a third and so on until I have gone through all rows. There happens to be 424000 in the table I'm working on.
Any help is appreciated.
I've got an OLEDB DB2 linked server to a db2/AS400 instance and selecting from a table on the server has never caused problems before. One of the columns is a large text field. If I select all the columns but the large text field, it returns as normal, but including the large text field now, I get:
"Transport error: shared memory provider error: 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe"
The largest entry in the text field is about 5k characters, and there don't appear to be any strange characters.
I have a table with some examples below. I need to identify records where:
1. the person has 3 or more consecutive months ordered.
2. I then need to exclude the first and last month and capture only those Months in between.
PERSON ID MONTH ORDERED
JD12345 4
JD12345 7
JD12345 8 Note: JD12345 should be excluded entirely

Using SQL2000. How do I format my select statement to choose one outof 24 different tables? Each table is slightly different and I washoping I could use one select statement and format it on-the-flyinstead of using 24 different ones. I had in mind using a casestatement, something like this:select * fromcase when <input parameter> = 'something1' then tblSomething1case when <input parameter> = 'something2' then tblSomething2...and so on...Thanks for any help.

How would I create a select statement to select all rows from Package (PackageID, Destination, Source) where the CleintID=1 and the PackageID exists in pending packages with a status of 0?
Can this be done using a select statement or would I have to create a view? I'm not too sure!

Hi there,I'm new to sql and thus I'm having problems with a specific query which Ihope you guys can help me with.Basicly I have a few tables which I'm trying to do a query on:Table groups contains information about specific groups e.g. "Windows" or"Unix".Table users contains information about specific users e.g. "a", "b" or "c".Table users_groups contain information about group relationship (a user canbe in multiple groups) e.g. (a, Windows), (b, Unix), (a, Unix).In this case user c is ungrouped.Now I'd like to find the users which does belong to group Windows and thosewho do not:select distinct username from users_groups where groupname = "Windows" orderby username asc;This works pretty well for finding users in the specific group. In this casethe result is a.However I'd like to get the opposite result (b and c) but I'm stuck.The problem is that I'd like a list of all users excluding those which arein "Windows"Here is a partial query:select distinct users.username from users left join users_groups onusers.username = users_groups.username where users_groups.username is nullorder by users.username asc;This only gives me those users who are not grouped at all. This mean thatuser b is not in those results.Please advise.Thanks in advance.-- Henrik
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I have the following script that selects tables from my database with the same column name and then I delete data that falls within a specified condition. However what I need to be able to do is just select these tables that meet the condition and then just delete the data because at the moment it's also returning tables that I don't need.
So I just want to use a cursor on a table list that meet the criteria:
1) have qid column name
2) qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Example
declare @strqry varchar(1000)
declare dailyYear cursor
for SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE 'qid' = COLUMN_NAME order by table_name asc
open dailyYear
fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
Set @strqry = 'Delete from '+@DelTable+' where qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
exec(@strqry)
fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
end
close dailyYear
deallocate dailyYear
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello,
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info
and I want to get a list of Names
the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.

But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB
Hi
Is there a way to select out the contents of sys.comments for an object (in this case, a procedure) so that it is nicely formatted?
The reason being, is that I want to update source control with all objects from the live environment (as it has become out of date.... long story). Currently, we have a single script for each object, split in directories for each object type. Anyway, I also want to wrap the objects in our standards (check for object existence, print out success/fail statements, etc).
Any suggestions to make the process more automated and less painfull? I don't want to have to script each object out, manually wrap it in standards and save as that would be perhaps the most tedious task in the world!!!!
Thanks!

Hello Tsql experts,
Can you please explain to me what the differnce is between selecting into a table and creating a new tabel and inerting in to it like so:
First way:
select names
into #ancestors
from names
and
second way
create table #names(
name varchar(10)
)
insert into #names (name) values(name)
select names from names
is it just personal choice or performance in one method is better than the other.Can you please explain.
Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe currently have a company program in foxpro which inputs all of our information into its database. We are trying to shift from this to new updated software and a SQL database. There is a program we created which converts all the data from our old database into our new SQL database in preparation for our final move to the newer software. However, some of the tables in SQL were not taken directly from our old database but rather added in directly after our initial use of SQL, so when we ran our conversion software, a couple of specific tables were wiped because there was no equivilant within our old database. We already altered our conversion program to not touch those tables again, but is there any way to do a roll back or to find a backup of specific tables?

Hi
I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!!
Thanks!
I moved this from another forum because it seems more related to replication the longer I look into it!
The following code often dies on a deadlock. I have also seen "Spid x blocked by Spid x", where x is the spid of this connection. The view selects from several tables and some other views as well, and many of the underlying tables are being updated by replication. I have seen cases where the replication Insert proc participated in the deadlock, and the table being inserted into is joined twice in the view, suggesting that somehow this
causes the deadlock or makes a deadlock more likely?
SELECT * INTO dbo.tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower
FROM view_loans_marketing_first_borrower OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
I do not understand how selecting from a view can cause a deadlock with a
proc which does not reference tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower. Any
suggestions on how to diagnose this? I used (1204) to identify the proc and underlying table.
Thanks a bunch.
hello guys,
I have 10 tables, table1, table2, table3, table4.......table10. all these tables have different structure.
From each of these tables I want extract data and dump into flat file csv.
So i have OLEDB source and FlatFile Destination.
If i write seperate data flow task for each of the tables, then there is no issue.
But i want to use a single data flow task for all these tables. So for this, i use a variable @SQLStr . And i dynamically set the value of this variable to select * from table1, select * from table2.........selct * from table10.
So in the OLEDB source I select Data Access Mode as : SQL Command from variable. And I use @SQLStr for this varible.
For Destination, i dynamically generate the flat file for each of the table.
But this doesnt work, i get validation errors.
So, first can i use a single data flow task to dynamically change the source(different source tables) and destination. If so, what i am missing in the above process?
any help appriciated.
Thanks
I am pulling info out of MSDB to report on job schedules. As we have a mixture of 2005 and 2000 servers, I am varying my select statement according to the result of
[Code]
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
[/Code]
I have to vary the tables for each condition. Not a problem,
[Code]
if @Version = 9
begin
Select whatever from table1 join table2
end
Else
begin
Select whatever from table1 join table3
end
Problem is that SQL 2005 is trying to verify the existence of the fields in the tables on compile (it knows that the table, for example, sysjobschedules exists in 2005, but the field "Name" doesn't - although it does in 2000) , even after the if statement checking if the version is 8, and SQL 2000 uses 2 tables whilst 2005 needs 3, and the fields I need are on one table in 2000, but in a different table in 2005.
SQL 2000 is fine with it - it just does it.
Syntax checking is fine.
Just to clarify, here is my code:
[Code]
Declare @Version Char(1), @CurrentDate datetime
Set @CurrentDate = GetDate()
Create Table #TempSchedDetails
( Server VarChar(30)
,CurrentDate VarChar(19)
,JobName VarChar(80)
,ScheduleName VarChar(80)
,Freq_Type Char(1)
,Freq_Interval VarChar(2)
,JobEnabled Bit
,Freq_Subday_Type VarChar(25)
,ScheduleEnabled Bit
,StartTime VarChar(25)
,EndTime VarChar(25)
)
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
If @Version = '9'
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,GetDate()--@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,SS.Name
,SS.Freq_Type
,SS.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,SS.Freq_SubDay_Type
,SS.Enabled
,SS.Active_Start_Time
,SS.Active_End_Time
From msdb..SysJobs J
Left Outer Join msdb..SysJobSchedules JS on J.Job_Id = JS.Job_Id
Join msdb.dbo.SysSchedules SS ON JS.schedule_id = SS.Schedule_Id
Order By J.Name, Active_Start_Time
End
Else
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,S.Name
,S.Freq_Type
,S.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,S.Freq_SubDay_Type

Hi,
I was wanting to know if it is possible to create a left join when selecting from 3 seperate tables.
Select p.Project_name, p.project_id, cp.email_display_name, te.Mon
FROM tblProject p, tblCorpPerson cp, tblTimeEntry te
WHERE p.Project_ID = te.Project_ID

I need to return all rows from tblProject, and any matching project_id's from tblTimeEntry.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim
Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID
Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID
Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID
Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID
Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID
Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
First the environment: two tables A and B.
Table A: ID (unique-identifier)
Table B: ID_A (unique-identifier to A.ID, relation)
DTime (datetime)
Rows (id1 and id2 are Id examples):
A: id1
id2
B: id1 and 12:00:00 (date not important)
id1 and 13:00:00
id2 and 12:00:00
Example:
SELECT A.ID, B.DTIME
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B ON B.ID_A = A.ID
WHERE B.DTime < '14:00:00'
ORDER BY NEWID()
When I run this, I get the three rows of table B. But what I want is to get each table A row once, and get the nearest datetime of WHERE expression from the relation of table B.
So, the result must been two rows, id1 and id2, and id1 with '13:00:00' row because this is the nearest value of '14:00:00'.
How can I do this? DISTINCT trying by A.ID of SELECT, but doesn't work. Also ORDER BY B.DTime will work, but not random by NEWID() anymore.
Thank you.
I want to copy FirstName and LastName cells from table1 to table2. Which FirstName and LastName cells depend on the username, i.e. which person has logged in.
Q1) How can this be done? (I have chosen to SELECT from Table1 and output to variables (C# code); then INSERT these variables into Table2. [Finding it very difficult]).
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
