how do i go about testing if my subquery returns a row, it should only return one row or none at all, here's what i've got so far
if exists (Select *
from roomBookings
where bookingID = 1 AND departureDate = @pPrevRowDate)
begin
end
thanks
Hi folks,
I have a problem where my subquery is returning two values and I need it to return only one. I believe it is doing this because of the group by DocType clause as there are two DocTypes.
Is there anyway I can sum these values in the subquery, to return only one value. This way the query should run ok.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give,

Hi,
The test.sql scripts I write to test CLR stored procedures run successfully, but when I want to display the resulting data in the database with a simple "SELECT * from Employee"
I get the result as:
Name Address
---- -------
No rows affected.
(1 row(s) returned)
But not the actual row is displayed whereas I would expect to see something like:
Name Address
---- -------
John Doe
No rows affected.
(1 row(s) returned)
I have another database project where doing the same thing displays the row information but there doesn't seem to be a lot different between the two.
Why no results in first case?
Thanks,

SQL (using 2012) .I'm trying to create some stored procedures that calculate stats needed for item response theory and test scoring (things like reliability, correlation, etc.). I'm writing a procedure that's aimed at splitting a test in half (first half of the items and second half of the items) and calculating each individual (TestID) score for each half. I can insert the first half of the test, but end up getting an error stating that the subquery returned more than one value. I know it's being caused by the group by clause, but if I remove it I end up with a total count of the items answered correctly, but it's necessary for me to link it batch to the TestID (so each row should have a BatchID [same for all at the moment], a unique TestId, a corresponding FirstHalfScore and a corresponding SecondHalfScore for each testID).
Insert into SplitHalfTestScores (BatchId, TestID, FirstHalfScore)
(Select distinct 10001 as BatchId, irt.TestID, count(*) as FirstHalfScore
From irt_TestItems irt where batchID=10001 and ItemId <=40 and TestId = irt.TestId and AnsweredCorrectly = 1 group by TestId)
Update SplitHalfTestScores
Set SecondHalfScore = (Select count(*)
From irt_TestItems irt where BatchId = 10001 and TestId = irt.TestId and irt.ItemId > 40 and AnsweredCorrectly = 1
group by TestId)
Hello,
I'm trying to update column based upon the results of a subquery. I'm getting the error that my Subquery returns more than one result. I've tried adding the EXISTS or IN keywords and cannot get the syntax right. I can't find any examples of how to write this with an Update query.
Here's my query:
UPDATE temp_UpdateRemainingHours
SET UsedHours =
(SELECT dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.SumEnteredHours, dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD
FROM dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD INNER JOIN
dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours ON
dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD = dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours.CHARGE_CD)
FROM dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD, temp_UpdateRemainingHours
WHERE
dbo.vw_SumEnteredHours_byCHARGE_CD.CHARGE_CD = dbo.temp_UpdateRemainingHours.CHARGE_CD
;
Is there a way to check for System.BDNull when I use the column name instead of column index? The column Photographer (in the excample below) sometimes contains the value null, and then it throws an error. Or do I have to go back to counting columns (column index of the returned data) again? try { connection.Open(); using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) { if (reader.Read()) { albumItem = new Album((int)reader["Id"]); if (reader["Photographer"] != null) albumItem.Photographer = (string)reader["Photographer"]; albumItem.Public = (bool)reader["IsPublic"]; } } } Regards, Sigurd

I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE
CountyId IN
(
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId)
THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId

This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

I am trying to add the results of both of these queries together:
The purpose of the first query is to find the number of nulls in the TimeZone column.
Query 1:
SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
The purpose of the second query is to find results in the AAST, AST, etc timezones.
Query 2:
SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')
Note: both queries produce a whole number with no decimals. Ran individually both queries produce accurate results. However, what I would like is one query which produced a single INT by adding both results together. For example, if Query 1 results to 5 and query 2 results to 10, I would like to see a single result of 15 as the output.
What I came up with (from research) is:
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST'))
I get a msq 102, level 15, state 1 error.
I also tried
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')) as IVR_HI_n_AK_results
but I still get an error. For the exact details see:
[URL]
NOTE: the table in query 1 and query 2 are the same table. I am using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
I need to restore test DB from production backup but once it is restored I would need all the permissions of sql logins and windows AD account intact in test Db as it was before.

I am currently utilizing the checksum function to generate a hash that I later compare to detect changes in a row.
CHECKSUM(field1, field2, field3, field4)
Now I'd like to use the HashBytes function instead over the same fields. But the HashBytes function accepts only one data value. What is the most effective and reliable way of getting an MD5 over several fields?

Hi.
I have an application where I allow users to type in their SQL queries. Before I store those queries I have to make sure that they are correct, both syntax-wise and data type-wise. For that I execute the query against the database and trap any errors that may be returned and that's how I judge if the query was OK.
In order to keep this test as quick as possible, I tried to add a WHERE clause to it like: WHERE 1=2, so no results are returned. But then I discovered that the addition keeps errors from happening if they are of ata type nature.For instance "select orderid + 'test' from orders where 1=2", run against the Northwind database, returns no errors, while OrderID is numeric and U'm adding a string to it!
Next, I tried to return only one row: "select top 1 orderid + 'test' from orders". This time the error is thrown, however the query still takes a looong time when run on a huge table. I don't kknow why that is, but it seems that the engine runs the query for the entire table and then gets the first row!
Does anyone have an idea ehat's happening or have a better suggestion on how I can perform my test without killing the database?
Thanks.
I have a stored procedure which runs a query, then turns it on its side (so that the rows are column headers).What I need to do now is test if any of the values in a row from this stored procedure are null.Any suggestions on how to get started?

Hi -
I'm having a problem with a VB6 program I'm writing that posts data to a SQL server. The problem occurs when the SQL server is unavailable. When this happens it causes the program to hang for at least 30 seconds before releasing. The hang happens at the code that connects to the SQL server, because the server isn't there. I've added code found on this site to test the connectivity prior to making my actual data connection, but this causes the same hang. Is there any way to verify connectivity to an SQL server without actually trying to make the connection? I'm really trying to eliminate the hang that occurs when the server is unavailable.
Thanks
I have gotten some criticism from coworkers regarding this test and just wanted to see what you guys think. I realize the wording could use improvement and any criticism towards making it easier to understand is much appreciated.FWIW - I had to solve this problem on the job so I feel it is a real-world test that helps me understand how people think and if they try to find alternate solutions.Thanks!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Given a table that has over 100,000 records…SUBSIDIARY=========PARENT_IDINTCHILD_IDINTULTIMATE_PARENT_IDINTCLEANUP_INDBIT…where each PARENT_ID can have multiple CHILD_ID values, but the PARENT_ID should not equal the CHILD_ID.
