I want to use infinite WHILE loop in SQL 2005 and use BREAK keyword to exit from it on certain condition.
while true does not work, so I have to use while 1=1.
Is there a better way to organize infinite loop ?
I know that I can use goto, but while 1=1 begin .. end looks better structurally.
I have a table; let it be called table1; with the following fields and data
I need a query that returns the record with the maximum value in Field3 for each group of records having the same value in Field2. So that the query returns:
How could this be done using SQL queries ?
For example, imagine that I want to see if a user exists in my database:
Select * from Users where inputID = Users.ID
Then if that result brought 0 items, then the user exists, correct?
How can I do something like this using a pure Linq-to-SQL class?
I use SQLServer 2000.
Suppose I have two tables like the following:
Area
----------------------------------
ID| Name | HierarchyLevel
----------------------------------
1 | World | 1
2 | America| 2
3 | Europe | 2
4 | Africa | 2
5 | USA | 3
and
AreaHierarchy
------------------------
ID | ParentID | ChildID
------------------------
1 | 1 | 2
2 | 1 | 3
3 | 1 | 4
4 | 2 | 5
where
AreaHierarchy.ParentID and AreaHierarchy.ChildID are FKs of Area.ID
How can I find the nth parent of USA?
Is it possible without looping?
Probably not.
I would like to do something like this i.e., use wild card characters in the in clause:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE keywords IN ('%test%', '%testing%')
This is not supported in MS SQL.... Is there some other way to achieve it...
Looking for something other than:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE keywords like '%test%' or keywords like '%testing%' or.....
I am storing images in a SQL database , right now I have images being stored in separate tables depending on the object the images belong to, is there any reason ( performance etc..) why I should keep it this way and not store all images in the same table?
I have a table for animals like
Lion

In SQLServer, it is possible to test the result of a stored procedure to know if the result return rows or nothing ?
Example :
EXEC _sp_MySp 1, 2, 3
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
BEGIN
PRINT('Empty')
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT(@@ROWCOUNT)
END
But @@ROWCOUNT always return 0 so maybe is there another way of doing this ?
i am doing this:
CREATE TABLE person

num INT NOT NULL ,
firstname VARCHAR(20) NULL ,

is there a problem with the syntax or what?
Hello Guys!
I've two MS SQL tables: Category, Question. Each Question is assigned to exactly one Category. One Category may have many subcategories.
Category
Id : bigint (PK)
Name : nvarchar(255)
AcceptQuestions : bit
IdParent : bigint (FK)
Question
Id : bigint (PK)
Title : nvarchar(255)
...
IdCategory : bigint (FK)
How do I recursively count all Questions for a given Category (including questions in subcategories). I've tried it already based on several tutorials but still can't figure it out :(
im trying to work through some questions and im not sure how to do the following
Q:Find the hard drive sizes that are equal among two or more PCs.
its q15 on this site
http://www.sql-ex.ru/learn_exercises.php#answer_ref
The database scheme consists of four tables:
Product(maker, model, type)
PC(code, model, speed, ram, hd, cd, price)
Laptop(code, model, speed, ram, hd, screen, price)
Printer(code, model, color, type, price)
any pointers would be appreciated.
Is it possible to create a table which has a check constraint on one of the column whose value lies within the result set given by another sql query
eg.
create table tablename
(
name varchar(10),
rollno int
)check rollno in (select rollno from anotherDatabase.TableName,candidateRoll)
or any thing like that.
I dont have to use it anywhere but still want to know.
Not sure what's happening with this, but here's my question. I have a SqlServer 2008 database that I need to be able to do full-text indexing/searching but when I try to setup my indices on the table, I get the following:
I've tried running this stored procedure on my database and it's successful:
EXEC sp_fulltext_database @action = 'enable'
But I still get the above window and my full-text searches don't return any results when they should.
What am I missing?

Is it possible to find out who called a store procedure. So if you get an error in proc3, I know if it was called by proc1 or proc2.
I'm using SQLServer 2005.
I've got a column in a SQLServer table that is type XML. I want to change multiple values in the XML in a stored proc. I've already found the XML.Modify(...) command and have it working for a single value. Can I change multiple values in the XML in one update command or do I need to do it as multuple update commands?
In VS2005, I am using a DLL which accesses a SQLServer. The DLL returns a SQLException
Invalid object name 'tableXYZ'
but tableXYZ is a table in the database.
Should it be looking for dbo.tableXYZ instead? Is this a permissions issue with the login being used?
