Using Like And Apply To 3 Columns
Sep 7, 2007
I have a table called Courses with columns "courseCode" "courseName" and "TeacherName"
Im passing in a value @prefixText ...I have the following...
Select courseModuleCode from courses Where courseModuleCode like @prefixText
what I actually want to do is return one list, i.e. one column that will do the same for "courseName" and "TeacherName" aswell based on what the @prefix tag is...
so i will end up with one column that may contains some or all of the following courseModuleCode, courseName, TeacherName.
Im basically implementing a search on this table and want the users to search by any of the column names
hope this makes sense.

Hi,
We have a matrix report which displays columns in a default sorting order. This report columns vary dynamically depending on the user input.
e.g. If user wants to see the report for column Alfa, Beta , Gama then a report will be genarted with column Alfa, Beta , Gama sorted in alphabetical order.
Site
%Risk
Alfa
Beta
Gama
X
2
1
2
3
Y
10
4
5
6
However the users want the Columns to be sorted in the order which they provide the inputs e.g. if the user entered Gama, Alfa, Beta the report should display the columns in the same order instead of applying the default sorting order.
Site
%Risk
Gama
Alfa
Beta
X
2
3
1
2
Y
10
6
4
5
Any thoughts on ways to achieve this in SSRS matrix report would really help.
Cheers,
Viv

I am using CROSS APPLY instead of UNPIVOT to unpivot > one column. I am wondering if I can dynamically replace column names based on different tables? The example code that I have working is based on the "Allergy" table. I have thirty more specialty tables to go. I'll show the working code first, then an example of another table's columns to show differences:
select [uplift specialty], [member po],[practice unit name], [final nomination status]
,[final uplift status], [final rank], [final uplift percentage]
,practiceID=row_number() over (partition by [practice unit name] order by Metricname)
,metricname,Metricvalue, metricpercentilerank
[code]....
Rheumatology Table:The columns that vary start with "GDR" and [GDR Percentile Rank] so I'm just showing those:
GDR (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Percentile Rank (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR PGS (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Rank Number (nvarchar(255), null)
PMPM (nvarchar(255), null)
[Code] ....
These are imported from an Excel Workbook so that's why all the columns with spaces for now.

Hi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

I am new to DTS.
In ExecuteSQLTask:
want the original sql statement of <<backup database databaeABC to backup_databaseABC with init>> to be
backup database ? to 'backup_' + ? with init
But it looks the parameter could not place a globalVariable to it and parse it with error.
One alternate way probably need to create a proc to pass a parm to it....
Also, how could pass a globalVariable to a FTP task?
thanks

I am trying to install sql server sp3a. I checked the version before and after the sp is applied, and it shows:
8.00.194
Now, according to the sp3a readme:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/servicepacks/SQL/2000/SP3ReadMe.asp
the following versions should show:
SQL Server 2000 Original Release 8.00.194 RTM
Database Components SP1 or Desktop Engine SP1 8.00.384 SP1
Database Components SP2 or Desktop Engine SP2 8.00.534 SP2
Database Components SP3 or SP3a, or Desktop Engine SP3 or SP3a 8.00.760 SP3
This would imply that after installing sp3a and restarting, the version reported should now be 8.00.760. However, it still shows 8.00.194. So it appears to have not really installed, althought the sp3a installation ran without incident. So, how can I get the sp3a to not just act like it installed, but actually get it to install? Also, I have shut down all mssql services and rebooted, applied patch, and rebooted again. Doesn't help.
Also, if it is really installing, is there another way to tell?
Anyway, I really need to be able to install sp3a to see if it fixes another problem I'm having. Unfortunetly, since I can't even tell if the sp3a is installing, I can't tell if it really doesn't help or not. Thanks.

Good Afternoon,
I'm attempting to leverage SQL's new 'APPLY" operator and I guess I don't fully understand it proper usage.
This is a relatively simple request, first i want to count the models produced within a valid period of time. The first 'Cross Apply' gets the valid starting and ending dates and looks ups the number of models produced for the period of time. This section of code works perfectly fine.
The problem appears to be with the second "Cross Apply". What I'm attempting to accomplish is to count all models produced, regardless of time frame.
When executed the query appears to go into an loop and I end up canceling out the request.
Any ideas where I went wrong?? Any help is greatly appreciated!
select b1.model as Model
,b1.MinDate as Mfg_Str_Date
,b1.MaxDate as Mfg_End_Date
,Count(b2.Model+B2.Serial) as Mfg_Date_Valid
,Count(b3.Model+B3.Serial) as All_Units
from (select b.model, min(b.build_date) as MinDate ,max(b.build_date) as MaxDate
from etbl_models_Serial as b
group by b.model) as b1
--These are Units produced within Valid Window
cross apply (select b2.model,b2.Serial
from etbl_Production as b2
where b2.Model = b1.Model
and b2.Mfg_Date between b1.MinDate and b1.MaxDate) as b2
--These are all units produced
cross apply (select b3.model,b3.Serial
from etbl_Production as b3
where b3.Model = b2.Model) as b3
Group by b1.Model, b1.MinDate, b1.MaxDate
Order by b1.Model
