This simple query throws the "Ambiguous column name TaskID" error on one db-server only. This is ridiculous. We tested this with the same database structure on different servers and different versions of ms sql (2005/2008), and it's only THIS particular client's server that throws the error. I'm actually frustrated.
SELECT Tasks.TaskID
FROM Tasks
INNER JOIN TaskHelpers ON TaskHelpers.TaskID = Tasks.TaskID
order by TaskID
Yes, I know I can put "Tasks.TaskID" into the order by clause, but for some reasons I can't.
I have table similar to the following:
Year | Product | Value
2006 A 10
2006 B 20
2006 C 30
2007 A 40
2007 B 50
2007 C 60
I would like a query that would return the following comparison
Product | 2006 Value | 2007 Value
A 10 40
B 20 50
C 30 60
What are the options to do so? Can it be done without joins?
I'm working with DB2, but answers in all SQL types would be helpful.

I am trying to output a long XML result from SMSS.
When I right click on the results and 'save results as...', I can only get a 2mb file?
I have changed the settings in SMSS via Tools - Options - Query Results - SQL Server - Results to Grid, for XML data to be unlimited.
Forever, it still seems to be truncating my XML results?
So, how can I bypass this problem and output my XML result to a file?
Thanks
What is a candidate row when talking about Oracle and SQL? Using it in a sentence would be as such:
"The candidate row is fetched from the table specified in the outer query."
Hi,
I have an SQL query that returns an amount of tuples (about 50).
Now I need to display the results, 15 tuples at a time, then I will have a "view more" button to view the next 15 results.
Can you please help me how I can make this? The issue is that I cannot use the 'limits' because each time I run the query the results will be different, hence when pressing view more, I may get the same results of the same page.
thanks

Trying to convert this tax-like IRS function http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1817920/calculating-revenue-share-at-different-tiers to SQL. The assumption is the table would be one column (price) and the tiers will be added dynamically.
My first attempt has some case statements that didn't work out well. I have since scrapped it :) Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I have a server where I installed SQL Server 2008 and after I applied the SP1.
Now, I want also to add the Analysis Services to this instance by using the "Add or remove features...".
My questions are:
Is it possible to add the Analysis Services on a server with SP1 already installed?
How can I apply the SP1 also to the new Analysis Service feature?
THANKS!

I store an XML string in a column in my SQL Server database. I'm trying to run an UPDATE statement that will make a certain field into Upper Case. I can do that easily during a SELECT but can't get it to work with an update.
This SELECT statement works
select Upper(XmlTest.value('(/CodeFiveReport/Owner/@UnitNumber)[1]', 'varchar(10)')) as UnitNumber
from uploadreport
But I want to update it the XML as that permanently
Update table Set XmlString.Modify('replace value of (/Root/Node/@Field)[1] with ?

I was wondering if there was any recommended max size for MDF and/or LDF Files for an SQL server instance.
For example, if I want to create a 400 GBytes Database, is there a rule to help me decide how many mdf files I should create ? or should I just go ahead and create a single gigantic 400Gbytes mdf file?
If so is this going to somehow affect the database performances ?
Hi guys:
Suppose we got a original query as follows:
SELECT A, B, C FROM tblA
Now, I need to additional artificial rows like
SELECT 'Kyala', B, C FROM tblA when, for example, C = 100 to be inserted into the resultset.
How could I achieve it using a single SQL instead of relying on table variable or temp table?
I have two SQL 2005 instances that reside on different networks. I need to backup a database from instance A and restore it to a database in instance B on a weekly basis so that both databases hold the same data. After the restore, logins SIDS on database B are changed and therefore users can't log into database B and connection strings for the web application it supports are broken. Is there a work around for this? Thanks.
