Use substring to get the characters, and charindex to find the :

declare @a varchar(20)
set @a = 'Telec:144'
select substring(@a,1,charindex(':',@a)-1),substring(@a,charindex(':',@a)+1,len(@a))

will return Telec for the first 1 and 144 for the 2nd

If you want to advertise, try paying for it - and if your product was that good you would be found straight away by anyone googling.

And its a rubbish web site, full of spelling and grammatical errors anyway.

Stored Procedure logic

I am using the following stored procedure to insert into two tables and it works fine

ALTER PROCEDURE createEmployee(@loginId VARCHAR (20), @username VARCHAR (25), @passwrd VARCHAR (25),@empId VARCHAR (20),@title varchar(5),@branchNo VARCHAR(20),@Fname VARCHAR(50),@idNo VARCHAR(13),@physicaladdress varchar(50),@province VARCHAR(50),@city VARCHAR(50),@telephone varchar(15),@cellNo VARCHAR(15),@Email VARCHAR(30),@employeetype varchar(15),@salary NUMERIC(11,2))
AS
INSERT INTO LoginInfo VALUES(@loginId,@username,@passwrd)
--SET @loginId=@@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES(@empId,@loginId,@title,@branchNo,@Fname,@idNo,@physicaladdress,@province,@city,@telephone,@cellNo,@Email,@employeetype,@salary);

But Note the @branchNo parameter to be inserted into the EMPLOYEE table. I need to get it from a table named BRANCH based on some criteria. Currently I have hard coded its(@branch parameter)its value.I've tried to use the column level Select subquery but it is not allowed. please give a junior developer some logic

How about:

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE 
SELECT
 @empId,
 @loginId,
 @title,
 branchNo,
 @Fname,
 @idNo,
 @physicaladdress,
 @province,
 @city,
 @telephone,
 @cellNo,
 @Email,
 @employeetype,
 @salary
FROM BRANCH
WHERE someCriteria

In case thats a bit confusing, you can pull the branchNo from another table while still using all your variable for the other columns to be inserted.

Avoining duplicates while joining tables

Hi

I have 2 tables, one is with primary key and the other is foreign key. There is one to many relation between the two tables.

i have written query by joining them as below.

But as the 2nd table has more than 1 row, duplicates are coming in the output.

Hence i want to query in such a way that no duplicates should come. Is there any way for this?

Is it possible to write as below....

select table1.col1, (loop through all the rows in table2 and form a srting of the values) as col2 from table1

Thanks in Advance

You can fix by using distinct or grouping.

What you are trying to do is called pivoting. If you google for that you wll find loads of examples.

Approach for CRUD transactions of a dynamic form

Member 288307020-Jul-09 23:04

Member 2883070

20-Jul-09 23:04

I am creating a C# web application to create dynamic forms. The user can define the form, generate its layout. This form would be availble for transaction.

I am having a query in saving the transaction details of the dynamic form. Can we build seperate tables for each form or can we use the same table to store data of all the forms. Which would be the effecient way?

The DB that we are using is Oracle 10g.

Thanks in advance.

Friends,

I stored my 200 values in an array and that 200 values represent one record.

It is easy to insert 'n' record, that i did N no. of times with MAX of 20 values but this is first time im supposed to insert this large no. of values.

So donno how to do...

HELP!!!

I'd look at your database design and see if a table with 200 columns is really necessary. If it is, you can create an SP with 200 parameters or generate a massive insert statement (both of which are not good solutions!)

You could pass the values into the stored proc as xml and work from that.

I prefer a method that will handle generating the query and parameters automatically, that isn't hard-coded to any particular table.

SQL server 2005 Reporting Services

Hi All,

I am new to reporting services in SQL Server 2005. I have been able to create a report using Microsoft's SQL Server Bussiness Intelligent Development IDE.
The problem is when I access the report from a web browser it asks me for Reposting server's username and password. I want to share these reports across my LAN creating limited users who can just view the reports and do nothing else.

Please suggest how to go about it.
Further more in my IIS when I go and browse the Report$Machinename it sometime does not load properly with all the components it should show. It behave correctly only randomly.

Regards,
Sandeep

UPSERT implementation

PIEBALDconsult20-Jul-09 10:36

20-Jul-09 10:36

I was looking for an implementation of "UPSERT" that I could execute with one call to ExecuteNonQuery against SQL Server 2000*. Not being familiar with EXISTS and HAVING, but being very familiar with JOIN, I wrote the following:

INSERT INTO MyTable ( Id )
SELECT T1.Id
FROM ( SELECT Id = @Id ) T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN MyTable T2
ON T1.Id = T2.Id
WHERE T2.Id IS NULL
;
UPDATE MyTable
SET Field1 = @Field1
    ...
WHERE Id = @Id

It works, and, for the particular task, I'm not concerned about scalability**, but I thought I'd post here to get feedback on whether or not there are commonly-used implementations which are held to be superior.

* I try to be database agnostic, so I prefer solutions that don't rely on a particular database system.

** This particular table has only the Id and one other field, and there will be fewer than 1000 records. However, the general case should be considered.

DB2, Oracle and SQL Server all support the MERGE statement now and it is ANSI Standardm That is pretty agnostic Smile | :)

I thought MERGE was new in SQL Server 2008? In which case, it won't work with older versions of SQL Server. The OP specifically says he is using SQL Server 2000.
