When someone uploads more photos I do the following to recalculate the NEW number of photos for the gallery.
SELECT gnumpics FROM galleryindex where gsid= 43
(select current # of photos from location 43 - our summer visit)
in ASP classic I then do this:
sb = objrs("gnumpics")
sb = sb + totupl
SQL = "UPDATE galleryindex SET gnumpics =" & sb & " where gsid= '" & fnum & "'"
to update the gallery with the new amount of photos which is obtained by pulling the old value into SB, and adding "totupl" (total pics uploaded) to it and then updating the values.In SQL speak it would be like this if 20 photos were just uploaded:
SELECT gnumpics FROM galleryindex where gsid= 43
(results in 133 photos)
UPDATE galleryindex SET gnumpics =153 where gsid= 43
(write back 133 + 20)
Basically I'm trying to update the current column gnumpics by a numeric value and I know there's an easier way then pulling the current, adding to it and then writing it back to SQL.
My question is concerned with the three columns below (customerID, RepairDate, CompletedRepair (Yes or No). The column name "CompletedRepair " is blank initially. I need to update the CompletedRepair column with this logic below:
- A customer comes to our store to fix their car, if we fix their problem on the first time and they don’t return later for this same issue, then the •CompletedRepair column = Y
- If a customer needs to come back to our store to re-fix the same issue within 7 days windows based on the RepairDate on the previous transaction then •On the last return transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (example: RepairDate =6/12/2006) •On all previous transactions: CompletedRepair = N (example: RepairDate =6/8/2006, 6/9/2006, 6/10/2006)
- If a customer needs to come back to our store to re-fix the same issue but out of the 7 days windows based on the RepairDate then •On the last return transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (RepairDate =6/12/2006) •On the previous transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (RepairDate =6/1/2006)
Every time customer comes to for car repair shop for a new issue or an old issue, we create a new repair transaction in our SQL db. The update on the "CompletedRepair " column will be run every day. Today's records will be run against with last 7 days records (based on Repair Date) to check when customer has been really fixed: the last fix counted Y, the previous fix counted as N but comparison in only 7 days. In other words, a repair today is considered as a completed repair when comparing with last 7 day repairs but it might become not a completed repair if this same customer would come back within next 7 days for the same issue.
The CompletedRepair column is dynamic column and is updated daily by using the logic above.
Below is the expected outcome after we update the Completed Repair column:
CustomerID Repair DateCompleted Repair
ab1 06/12/06 Y ab1 05/28/06 Y ab1 05/18/06 Y ab105/15/06 N ab1 05/12/06 N
Initially 5/12/06 had Y, when 5/15/06 transaction came, it took the Y and made the 5/12/06 become N. The 5/18/06 transaction did the same to 5/15/06 transaction, made itself Y and converted 5/15/06 into N. The 5/28/06 is Y because comparing with 5/18/06, it is out of 7 days window. The 6/12/2006 is Y because comparing with 5/28/06, it is out of 7 days window.
ab2 06/02/06 Y ab2 05/28/06 N ab2 04/19/06 Y ab2 04/14/06 N
The 4/14/06 transaction initially was Y, it became N when new transaction on 4/19/06 came. Same thing with transactions on 5/28/06 and 6/2/06
ab3 05/11/06 Y ab3 03/29/06 Y ab3 03/23/06 N ab3 03/12/06 Y
The 3/23/06 was Y, when new transaction on 3/29/06 came, it became N and the new transaction is Y. The 5/11/06 is Y because comparing back to 3/29/06, they are out of 7 days window.
ab4 05/11/06 Y
This ab4 customer came to fix her car only one time and don't come back. We supposed the fix was sucessfully and so we mark the CompletedRepair as Y.
I think that I would need to use SQL cursor or case statement for this but I really don't know how to start. Please advice and help me out. Any ideas and suggestion are really appreciated! If you need more information, please let me know!

Well, I really messed up. Instead of changing the name of a current company record in a table I changed ALL the company names in the table. Me.CustomerDataSource.SelectCommand = "UPDATE tbl_customers SET company = '" & companyTextBox.Text & "'" So, I need to insert a WHERE clause to fix this. My problem is that I've been searching everywhere for this simple command structure and cannot find anything that specifically addresses a simple way to reference the current record. I tried...Me.CustomerDataSource.SelectCommand = "UPDATE tbl_customers SET company = '" & companyTextBox.Text & "' WHERE recno = @recno" But I get the error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the scalar variable "@recno". Can anyone provide this simple query clause?

I am trying to insert some values into a table where the column is of the data type "numeric". The insert works fine.Update does not work. Update BUT_BREAKDOWN_PCT SET BDP_EFFORT_BREAKDOWN_PCT=0.15 WHERE BDP_BREAKDOWN_ID =1 AND BDP_PHASE_ID = 3 AND BDP_START_EFF_DT = '12/31/2004' BDP_EFFORT_BREAKDOWN_PCT is a numeric column with a size 5 (4,3) When I do the updatedirectly from QA, it works fine. I was googling it and read a KB article saying it's a problem with Service Pack of SQL Server 2000. If it is, then the query should not work even from QA....isn't it? Anyone had this problem before? Please help.

I have table called Product with seven columns all of nvarchar type. There are 150,000 records in this table. Also there's no unique identifier column in this table. I want to put a column lets say Column1 which start from 1 to 150000. The Column1 should be a unique column.
Hi there --I'm writing a SQL query that works something like this:SELECT a, b, a/b AS col_name FROM TABLEDividing a by b can result in a value above or below 1, e.g. 1.234 or 0.123.If the value is below 1, I don't want the preceding zero, e.g. .123.I've been using a STR() function to format it to three decimal points, e.g.:STR(a/b, 5, 3) AS col_name.... but for values below 1 it'll look like 0.123.Any suggestions for how I can make this look like .123?Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete. My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error: Character to numeric conversion error This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
I have successfully created a linked server between SQL Server 2008 R2 and a Postgres db, and all is working fine, except when I try to run a stored procedure that returns a TEXT column.The top lines of the stored procedure (function in postgres) that is called are:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_defects() RETURNS TABLE(defectid bigint, featurevalues text) AS ...
The function obviously executes correctly in postgres, however when I try to execute the function in SQL Server via the linked server:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(POSTGRES, 'SELECT * FROM get_defects()') I get the error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "POSTGRES" returned message "Requested conversion is not supported.". Msg 7341, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the current row value of column "[MSDASQL].featurevalues" from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "POSTGRES".The problem seems to be when trying to return the TEXT column featurevalues, as the following query executes as expected:
SELECT defectid FROM OPENQUERY(POSTGRES, 'SELECT * FROM get_defects()')
Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly. I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database. Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements. SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70) The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error "Character to numeric conversion error" How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values? I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct. I have also used: WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F')) This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.
when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are : @N = 21 @SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000 @SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error - SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
I am currently working on a website that deals with sales of products. For one of my pages for the website I need it to be able to change the current sales information for a specific product.
The top part of the following code selects the specific product however I cannot get the update query to work.
Code: $describeQuery = "SELECT p.ID, p.NAME, dt.[Year], dt.[Month], dt.SalesVolume FROM Products p join (select ProductCode, sum(SalesVolume) as SalesVolume, [Year], [Month] from MonthlySales group by ProductCode, [Year], [Month])dt on dt.ProductCode = p.ID WHERE [NAME] = '$desiredProduct' AND [Year] = '$desiredYear' AND [Month] = '$desiredMonth'";
$editQuery = "UPDATE MonthlySales SET SalesVolume = '$NewSales' WHERE ID = '$desiredProduct' AND Year = '$desiredYear' AND Month = '$desiredMonth'";
Hey All, I am new to programming in SQL developer and I was hoping one of you kind salmon of knowledge could help me I am running an SQL script every 15 minutes to pull data. I would like to insert the results into a column in a table. I have two issues: 1.How can I give the result column the current time stamp as an alias? 2.How can I add this column to the results table (I know its Alter table but do I put this into the insert sql?)
If a Select is done on a column whose data type is nvarchar(16) and contains only numerals (UPC numbers) the select does not return the record.
1. Query with numerals in nvarchar column works as long as multiple records are returned (LIKE '012%') 2. Numeric (INT only one tested) columns works as expected 3. String columns with alpha data works as expected 4. Problem only exist when running in Device Emulator and/or actual device. 5. Same test on desktop app runs as expected. 6. Windows Mobile 6, Vista Ultimate 7. Same results when when connection to device from SSMS 8. SQL Servers comes on
Previous thread discussion of this problem (I thought that Parameters corrected problem, but not in all cases???)
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
