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."
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.

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
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 am getting a SqlConnection does not support parallel transactions. exception and this answer mentions its when a connection tries to open two transactions. This is exactly what i am doing. I thought nested transactions were ok (i was using sqlite for the prototype).
How do i check if the connection is already in a transaction? I am using Microsoft SQL Server Database File.
E.g.
Declare @str varchar2(20)
Set @str = 'A Student'
Select Reverse(@str)
Output:
tnedutS A
Expected being:
Student A
The output(using Reverse) is as expected. But my requirement is the one described.
Help needed with SET BASED.

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!
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?

Hi,
I want to add browsable attribute to some properties for entities generated by linq-to-sql.Is it a good idea? Since,these entities are auto-generated,and when I regenerate they(the attributes I have added) might be overwritten
I'm trying to learn SQL to store the data rather than reading the file and populating the whole data structure in memory. would it be like reading the data from disk instead of direct memory?
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 ?
I simply want to include a row number against the returned results of my query.
I found the following post that describes what I am trying to achieve but gives me an exception
http://vaultofthoughts.net/LINQRowNumberColumn.aspx
"An expression tree may not contain an assignment operator"
In MS SQL I would just use the ROWNUMBER() function, I'm simply looking for the equivalent in LINQ.
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.
