Hi Guru's,

I made a basic search filtering query, it searches for the predefine (default) values when user does not place any values on search fields, my search query works fine but not until having the sort option, below is my query and my db structure:

TABLE:
ListingID int
HLCN varchar(6)
HousePrice money
Bathrooms float
Bedrooms int
HomeLocation varchar(50)
ContactName varchar(50)
EmailContact varchar(50)
PhoneContact varchar(50)
Address varchar(100)
SquareFeet varchar(50)
YearBuilt varchar(50)
LotSize varchar(50)
Garage varchar(50)
Notes varchar(255)

QUERY:
declare @sort nvarchar(50)
set @sort ='HomeLocation'
Select
listingID,
HLCN,
HousePrice,
Bedrooms,
Bathrooms,
HomeLocation,
ContactName
from
listings
where
houseprice between 0 and 100000000
and
bathrooms >= 0
and
bedrooms >= 0
and
homelocation like '%' + '' + '%'
order by
case @sort
when 'HomeLocation' then HomeLocation
when 'HousePrice' then HousePrice
end

when I sort by HousePrice it return correct resultm but when I sort by Homelocation it returned

Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax. I'm wondering whey It's causing char-to- money conversion error when I'm not passing char values and also this only happens when I'm using HomeLocation as sort.

Please advice,

Thanks
Dom

I believe it is because the HomeLocation is VARCHAR type while the HomePrice is MONEY type. I try the following and it works (LoginID is VARCHAR, UserID is INT):

DECLARE @sort NVARCHAR(50)
SET @sort ='LoginID'

SELECT * FROM tblUser
ORDER BY
CASE @sort
WHEN 'LoginID' THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR, LoginID)
WHEN 'UserID' THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR, UserID)
END

Full Text Searching in SQL Server 2005

Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2005, and I have set up a full text search on my products table.

I am using ASP.NET 1.1. In my search.aspx page I have 4 textboxes used in the search. But only one of the textboxes are required for the search. I'm not sure hot to construct my SELECT statement based on the given criteria because some of the textboxes can be blank.

I have a title textbox where the user can type a couple of words that he wants to find in the book's title. How do I specify this in the SELECT clause, as it will not be an exact match, but a combination of words in the title.

I would appreciated it if someone could get back to me.

Regards

Hello everyone,

I am working on an Windows Application which requires to access a remote database. I would like to be able to obtain the size of the tables before they are used to populate the DataTable in the Windows Application so, the data tranmission is displayed to the user.

I am using "mysql_fetch_array(SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM MyDatabase LIKE 'MyTableName')" command to get the Data_Length of the table. But I am unable to get this working. Can someone be kind enough to tell me how I can get the Table Size (Byte) from Windows Application (C#)?

Thank you very much and have a great day

You can do it in front-end programming languages really easily (in .NET you would iterate through the relevent columns returned in a DataReader).

It is really difficult to do within the database - you would have to dynamically construct a select statement based upon the table's column meta data Dead | X|

. Generally, doing "select * from xxxx" or doing an insert without explicitely specifying each column is considered to be bad practice for production code.

Create a view on the table ignoring or selecting only those columns required

then use "SELECT *" on the query

For SQL-Server it would be something like:

select * from Employee
where datepart(dy, BirthDate) between datepart(dy, GetDate()) and datepart(dy, GetDate()) + 14
or 365 + datepart(dy, BirthDate) between datepart(dy, GetDate()) and datepart(dy, GetDate()) + 14

The "or" condition traps the situation where today is in the last couple of weeks of December and the employee's birthday falls at the start of January. You might need to play with the boundary conditions (i.e. the "365" and "14" constants).

You could do this by selecting all records where the dateofbirth was between getdate() and dateadd(dd, getdate(), 14).

Thank you for ur reply..
I think, there is some logic problem in ur reply.
Means
"where the dateofbirth was between getdate() and dateadd(dd, getdate(), 14)"

Suppose an employe 'Sanker' whose DOB is "29/july/1982"

According ur reply,in select query the getdate value is 27/July/2007 and add 14 to it will return 10/aug/2007

do you think employee 'Sanker' will select from ur query??

Problem with calling Scalar Function

Hi there,

I have problem with caling my T-SQL scalar function.

SET ANSI_NULLS ON<br />
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON<br />
GO<br />
<br />
-- =============================================<br />
-- Author:		<Author,,Name><br />
-- Create date: <Create Date, ,><br />
-- Description:	<Description, ,><br />
-- =============================================<br />
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.func(@param int)<br />
RETURNS bit<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
	DECLARE @ret bit;<br />
<br />
	IF EXISTS (SELECT id FROM [dbo].myTmpTab WHERE id=@param)<br />
		BEGIN<br />
			set @ret=1;<br />
		END<br />
	ELSE<br />
		BEGIN<br />
			set @ret=0;<br />
		END<br />
	RETURN @ret;<br />
END<br />
GO

I want to call it in C# code, but i cant it even call in MSSQL Server Mamagment Studio (SELECT myTmpDB.dbo.func(1)) and i get this msg:

Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Line 1<br />
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.

Is there any1 who know how to solve it? Im quite sure it would work on Sybase as i have done smthin similar about year ago Smile | :)

Seems to work with SQL-Server 2000 (after I changed the table name to one of mine). Could "func" be a reserved word under 2005?

names of tabels and function are changed so thats not an issue. Maybe its caused by the fact DB is on MSSQL 2000 Server? Ill do some research this weekend.
