Is it possible to do something like this:
INSERT INTO table(col1, col2) VALUES(something_from_another_table, value);
With something_from_another_table being a SQL command? Like, is there something I can do that's equivelant to:
INSERT INTO table(col1, col2) VALUES((SELECT value FROM table2 WHERE id = 3), value);
I have a question regarding the Sql Joins.
whenever we join two different tables on some fields.
what will happen exactly inside oracle which will result in the query output.
will there be a temporary table created just for presenting the query output.
I have a SQL table it has more than 1000000 rows, and I need to select with the query as you can see below:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP (200) COUNT(1) AS COUNT, KEYWORD
FROM QUERIES WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE KEYWORD LIKE '%Something%'
GROUP BY KEYWORD ORDER BY 'COUNT' DESC
Could you please tell me how can I optimize it to speed up the execution process? Thank you for useful answers.
I'm working on a mock exam paper at the moment, however I have no set of correct answers and I'm not sure what the correct answer of this SQL query is.
Given a table:
foo, bar
a , 1
b , 3
a , 2
c , 1
and the query:
SELECT foo, sum(bar)
FROM table
GROUP BY foo
The two ways I can see this going are either:
a 3
a 3
b 3
c 1
or
a 3
b 3
c 1
Thanks.
I'm learning how to use SQL Server Management Studio and can't figure out how to insert a new row into a table.
Table Structure:
ID,
Field1,
Field2
Query:
INSERT INTO Table (Field1,Field2) VALUES(1,2)
Error:
Major Error 0x80040E14, Minor Error 25503
I'm probably missing something very noobie like. Any help would be appreciated.

Does closing a java.sql.Connection also close all the statements, prepared statements, etc. obtained from that connection? Or is there going to be memory leak if I close the connection but leave the statements, etc. unclosed?
Is there any way showing the detailed exception for String or binary data would be truncated.
I use LINQ to SQL and i cant figure out which column is that!?
Tried numerous things but i get the same meaningless error i got from within Visual Studio.

I know a little about SQL injections and URL decode, but can someone who's more of an expert than me on this matter take a look at the following string and tell me what exactly it's trying to do?
Some kid from Beijing a couple weeks ago tried a number of injections like the one below.
%27%20and%20char(124)%2Buser%2Bchar(124)=0%20and%20%27%27=%27
Hello,
We have observed that there seems to be a maximum number of ids/variables which one can pass in the IN clause of SQL as comma seperated values. To avoid this we are storing all the ids in a table and doing a SELECT within the IN clause. This however means extra database operations to store and retrieve ids. Is there any other way to use IN without SELECT?

how to do it using sql-server 2008 query ?
thank's in advance
I was wondering if it's possible to do something like this (which doesn't work):
select cast( (exists(select * from theTable where theColumn like 'theValue%') as bit)
Seems like it should be doable, but lots of things that should work in SQL don't ;) I've seen workarounds for this (SELECT 1 where... Exists...) but it seems like I should be able to just cast the result of the exists function as a bit and be done with it.

Hi all, i want to ask about development in blackberry. I have background in .Net winform.
If i want to develop an application to show data from Ms.SQL server 2008 database in blackberry. what should i learn and what should i do ? thank you for your advice.
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.
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
