you can use the coalesce function to get 0's.
|
|
|
|
|
Is the following is the format of coalesce?
coalesce(colname,0)
Please tell me how to display decimal value for the following query?
select 1/2
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
yes this is correct form of coalesce.
in the second question, you are performing calculation on integer so it returns integer. you need to cast/convert the result to decimal/float to get the decimal value of the query as:
CAST(1/2 as double), convert check the Books online for syntax help!!

Thanks
The CAST(1/2 as double) is displaying an error
I've tried CAST(1 as float)/CAST(2 as float) it is working.
Thank you very much again.

Hi,
The following code is displaying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation" error
SELECT failure.locid,device.count [devices],failure.count [failures]<br />
FROM<br />
{<br />
select locality.locid,count(*) from allotment,locality where allotment.locid=locality.locid group by locality.locid<br />
} AS device<br />
FULL OUTER JOIN<br />
{<br />
select locid,count(deviceid) from failures group by locid<br />
} AS failure ON device.locid = failure.locid
device is used to find number of device in a particular locality
failure is to find the number of failures in the particular location
All localities are stored in locality table. the alloted devices are in allotment table, failures are in failures table
Thanks

check the syntax in query as well as your servers.
Example, dont use reserved words as "count" in your query directly as "device.count [devices],"
Most probably you will end up getting some silly mistake with your query, or else with permissions.

There is no problem with the server and the permissions. Please help same error.
SELECT failure.locid,device.count,failure.count
FROM
{
select locality.locid,count(*) AS count
from allotment,locality
where allotment.locid=locality.locid
group by locality.locid
} AS device
FULL OUTER JOIN
{
select locid,count(deviceid) AS count
from failures
group by locid
} AS failure ON device.locid = failure.locid

There is a syntax error in the query. I have to use normal brackets () instead of braces {}
Thanks

I need to utilize the text datatype, as i'm storing a very large amount of text data in a table. however, the designer keeps defaulting to a length of '16', and will not go any bigger. Am I doing something wrong?
I am at this time attempting to hard code data to the table as I'm archiving a lot of information, then i'll build the .aspx pages to keep it updated with the current data. If this doesn't work, i'll have to create 5 or 6 varchar rows, and i would rather avoid that. this field will be searchable eventually.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Although that is the length set by the designer, it is not the length allowed for data storage. Try storing your data...you will see that it fits just fine.
SQL Server Booksonline
Unless the text in row option is specified, text, ntext, or image strings are large character or binary strings (up to 2 gigabytes) stored outside a data row. The data row contains only a 16-byte text pointer that points to the root node of a tree built of internal pointers that map the pages in which the string fragments are stored. For more information about the storage of text, ntext, or image strings, see text, ntext, and image Data.

You don't have the "Text In Row" option turned on do you?
SQL Server Booksonline
You enable the text in row option for a table by using sp_tableoption. With the text in row option set to ON, Microsoft® SQL Server 2000 stores text, ntext, or image strings directly in the data row

please explain how to do that, i do not know where i would look to enable that feature. Thank you.

You do not want it on, you want it off.
Have you actually tried to store your data? Do you receive an error?
Try this from the query anazyzer:
sp_tableoption N'TableName', 'text in row', 'OFF'

to answer this, no, i don't get an error at all, just am not able to put any data into the field if it is set for 'text'. the words, Long Text, are in the field instead. Is this just some sort of link to the actual data? how do I see if it is in there? I am actually copying/pasting text from a document and it includes some html tags. would that cause a problem?
thank you.

Yes. Some of the characters in the html are probably causing the problem. Try using the query analyzer, or some other tool, to get/set the data. The enterprise manager isn't a very good tool for data manipulation.
Gotta go for the day. Bye.

I disabled the 'text in row'. I reset my field to 'text', and the length changed to '16'. Now, in the field when i open the table, this <long text=""> is in the box, and i am unable to enter my data into the field.
i am confused, why wouldn't it allow me to declare text and then put all my data in the row? i thought text held over 2bill chars?

In a database management project ,we have used Oracle at back-end and VB.Net at front-end.
In Oracle ,we used object-oriented features and created nested tables.Now we want to accesss those nested tables using ADO.Net .We are in search of answers of following questions:
1.Does Dataset class of ADO.Net support nested tables ?
2.If yes,can XML be used to specify schema of nested dataset ?
3.If not,how to manipulate nested tables of Oracle in ADO.Net?
As a temporary solution , we are retrieving main table and child table in two different tables;but this mechanism of database handling is affecting preformance of project badly.So we are in need of some other efficient solution.We will be thankful for your response if you will be able to help us to get out of the problem .Please reply as early as possible.

Not having used Oracle for a very long time this concept of nested tables sounds very much like a standard one-to-many relationship with the nested table being at the many end of the join. 1 parent row to many (nested) child rows.
kam_ps wrote: 1.Does Dataset class of ADO.Net support nested tables ?
It depends on what a nested table is. If it can be described as I have done above then yes it can support it.
kam_ps wrote: 3.If not,how to manipulate nested tables of Oracle in ADO.Net?
So long as you can access these "nested" tables through an SQL statement then you can pretty much do anything you like. All ADO.NET does is pass SQL Statements around and receive result sets. The Oracle data provider will handle that for you.

There is nothing like nested table in ado.net. But, the solution is there where the relational features of dataset comes in picture.
fetch both the tables separately and add a foreign key relation between them. Then using methods like getchildrows, etc, you can get ur prob solved.

Isn't that what I suggested?

I thought to clear his basics that dataset doesnt support nested tables 
So that he is not another babbage.

I have a little problem:
I use ado to connect to a mysql database (version 4.0.12) and mysql odbc driver(3.51).
The system works fine but recently i ran into this problem:
I've installed it on a LAN consisting of 5 win98SE stations making one of them the database server.
The program works on two of them quite ok but fails on the other 3. The thing is that the other 3 computers still connect to the db but some of the querys fail.
Actually is not the querys that fail but rather the call to _RecordsetPtr->GetCollect("field")
To be more precise a query like "SELECT id, name, address FROM clients" works.
A query like "SELECT clients.id AS id, clients.name AS name, ocupations.kind AS kind FROM clients AS clients, ocupations AS ocupations WHERE clients.ocupationid = ocupations.id" fails when i do a call to pRecordSet->GetCollect(L"kind") with invalid pointer.
Another thing to remember is that the database server is installed on one of the computers that do not work. The stations on which the program works connect to this computer via LAN
So, what do i do? Where should i search for the bug? I really have no ideea.
I never had this problem on winxp and this program works on several win88se networks
|
|
|
|

Nevermind. It worked after installing MDAC 2.8 sp1.
It didn't work with MDAC 2.8 though..wierd since this is a win98se computer and on winxp i didn't upgrade anything

Hello,
In SQL Server 7.0, I can easily create tables and import data from other sources such as access. Is it possible to do the same with SQL Express Edition?
Thanks in advance,
Rashar

If you can export to MSAccess you should then be able import the MSAccess tables to SSE
