Below is my query. Access does not like it, giving me the error Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'answer WHERE question = 1'.
Hopefully you can see what I am trying to do. Please pay particular attention to 3rd, 4th, and 5th lines under the SELECT statement.
INSERT INTO Table2 (respondent,1,2,3-1,3-2,3-3,4,5)
SELECT respondent,
answer WHERE question = 1,
answer WHERE question = 2,
answer WHERE answer = 'text 1' AND question = 3,
answer WHERE answer = 'text 2' AND question = 3,
answer WHERE answer = 'text 3' AND question = 3,
answer WHERE question = 4,
longanswer WHERE question 5 FROM Table1 GROUP BY respondent;
Hi, i've got stuck with substring.
On input i've got a string that looks like Sometext (123456). Those digits at the end are random. I need to get only text from that string.
Hello
How to check a value IS NULL [or] = @param (where @param is null)
Ex:
Select column1 from Table1
where column2 IS NULL => works fine
If I want to replace comparing value (IS NULL) with @param. How can this be done
Select column1 from Table1
where column2 = @param => this works fine until @param got some value in it and if is null never finds a record.
How can this achieve?
Hey,everyone
I have a string 'some.file.name',I want to grab 'some.file'.
To do that,I need to find the last occurrence of '.' in a string.
My solution is :
declare @someStr varchar(20)
declare @reversedStr varchar(20)
declare @index int
set @someStr = '001.002.003'
set @reversedStr = reverse(@someStr)
set @index = len(@someStr) - charindex('.',@reversedStr)
select left(@someStr,@index)
Well,isn't it too complicated?I was just intented to using 'some.file' in a where-clause.
Anyone has a good idea?
i've created a function for convert minutes (smallint) in time (varchar(5))
like 58 - 00:58
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
Create FUNCTION [dbo].[IntToMinutes]
(
@m smallint
)
RETURNS nvarchar(5)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @c nvarchar(5)
SET @c = CAST((@m / 60) as varchar(2)) + ':' + CAST((@m % 60) as varchar(2))
RETURN @c
END
The problem is when there are minutes < 10 in time
like 9
the result of this function is 0:9
i want that the format is 00:09
how can i do that?
I would like to use newId to generate random numbers. Usually you would use it just once, but I might be generating up to 10 random numbers per newId.
Is it random enough?
I have a TimeSheet table as:
CREATE TABLE TimeSheet
(
timeSheetID
employeeID
setDate
timeIn
outToLunch
returnFromLunch
timeOut
);
Employee will set his/her time sheet daily, i want to ensure that he/she doesn't cheat. What should i do?
Should i create a column that gets date/time of the system when insertion/update happens to the table and then compare the created date/time with the time employee's specified - If so in this case i will have to create date/time column for timeIn, outToLunch, returnFromLunch and timeOut. I don't know, what do you suggest?
Note: i'm concerned about tracking these 4 columns timeIn, outToLunch, returnFromLunch and timeOut

I have a large historical transaction table (15-20 million rows MANY columns) and a table with one row one column. The table with one row contains a date (last processing date) which will be used to pull the data in the trasaction table ('process_date').
Question: Should I inner join the 'process_date' table to the transaction table or the transaction table to the 'process_date' table?
I have the below
Name Date
A 2011-01-01 01:00:00.000
A 2011-02-01 02:00:00.000
A 2011-03-01 03:00:00.000
B 2011-04-01 04:00:00.000
A 2011-05-01 07:00:00.000
The desired output being
Name StartDate EndDate
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A 2011-01-01 01:00:00.000 2011-04-01 04:00:00.000
B 2011-04-01 04:00:00.000 2011-05-01 07:00:00.000
A 2011-05-01 07:00:00.000 NULL
How to achieve the same using TSQL in Set based approach
DDL is as under
DECLARE @t TABLE(PersonName VARCHAR(32), [Date] DATETIME)
INSERT INTO @t VALUES('A', '2011-01-01 01:00:00')
INSERT INTO @t VALUES('A', '2011-01-02 02:00:00')
INSERT INTO @t VALUES('A', '2011-01-03 03:00:00')
INSERT INTO @t VALUES('B', '2011-01-04 04:00:00')
INSERT INTO @t VALUES('A', '2011-01-05 07:00:00')

hi all,
I have a db with users that have all this record .
I would like to do a query on a data like
CN=aaa, OU=Domain,OU=User, OU=bbbbbb,OU=Department, OU=cccc, OU=AUTO, DC=dddddd, DC=com
and I need to group all users by the same ou=department.
How can I do the select with the substring to search a department??
My idea for the solution is to create another table that is like this:
---------------------------------------------------
ldapstring | society | site
---------------------------------------------------
"CN=aaa, OU=Domain,OU=User, OU=bbbbbb,OU=Department, OU=cccc, OU=AUTO, DC=dddddd, DC=com" | societyName1 | societySite1
and my idea is to compare the string with these on the new table with the tag like but how can I take the society and site when the like string occurs?????
Please help me
Hi all,
in the data warehouse there's a default language for the measures, and I added a translation for German captions. In a Visual Studio Report Server project, when creating a query with my German OS, the cube and its measures are displayed in German language. When dragging measures to the mdx query windows, the default measure name is used. That's what I want and what I expect, since when writing MDX queries I would like to use the default measure names. But when executing the query, the columns created for each measure is translated to German again. This resuls in having German columns names within my dataset, which I dont want. I'd like to have the english column names.
I already tried to change the connection string to: Data Source=server;Initial Catalog=DataWarehouse;LocaleIdentifier=1033
But that doesn't help, I still see German translations.
Anyone knows how to set a specific translation?
Hi
I am wondering how can do a mass insert and bulk copy at the same time? I have 2 tables that should be affect by the bulk copy as they both depend on each other.
So I want it that if while inserting table 1 a record dies it gets rolled back and table 2 never gets updated. Also if table 1 inserts good and table 2 an update fails table 1 gets rolled back.
Can this be done with bulk copy?
I would like to create a stored procedure that takes in a string of comma separated values like this "1,2,3,4", and break it apart and use those numbers to run a query on a different table.
so in the same stored procedure it would do something like
select somefield from sometable where somefield = 1
select somefield from sometable where somefield = 2
select somefield from sometable where somefield = 3
select somefield from sometable where somefield = 4
Thanks!
I can't figure out a way to allow more than 4000 bytes to be received at once via a call to a stored procedure. I am storing images in the table that are around 15 - 20 kilobytes each, but upon getting them and displaying them to the page, they are always exactly 3.91 KB in size (or 4000 bytes).
Do stored procedures have a limit on how much data can be sent at once? I double-checked my data, and I am indeed only receiving the first 4000 characters from the varbinary(MAX) field.
Is there a permission setting to allow more than 4k bytes at once?
I've banging my head for hours, it seems simple enough, but here goes:
I'd like to create a view using multiple select statements that outputs a Single record-set
Example:
CREATE VIEW dbo.TestDB
AS
SELECT X AS 'First'
FROM The_Table
WHERE The_Value = 'y'
SELECT X AS 'Second'
FROM The_Table
WHERE The_Value = 'z'
i wanted to output the following recordset:
Column_1 | Column_2
'First' 'Second'
any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Thanks.
I'm trying to write a stored procedure to select employees who have birthdays that are upcoming.
SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Birthday > @Today AND Birthday < @Today + @NumDays
This will not work because the birth year is part of Birthday, so if my birthday was '09-18-1983' that will not fall between '09-18-2008' and '09-25-2008'.
Is there a way to ignore the year portion of date fields and just compare month/days?
This will be run every monday morning to alert managers of birthdays upcoming, so it possibly will span new years.
Here is the working solution that I ended up creating, thanks Kogus.
SELECT * FROM Employees
WHERE Cast(DATEDIFF(dd, birthdt, getDate()) / 365.25 as int)
- Cast(DATEDIFF(dd, birthdt, futureDate) / 365.25 as int)
<> 0
