Hi!
Here's a meaner. I have a database that looks like this:
Names Table
Surnames Table
Car Names Table
Master Table
The first 3 are linked to the master. What happens is that all the tables has an ID (Primary key). After entering the details a stored procedure takes the ID's o the tables and add them in the Master Table.
Question: Is it possible to Import data from Excel into my tables and still get the same result. How can I utilize a Stored Procedure using DTS?

DTS allows you to import data from Excel spreadsheets. I would import the data into a database table, then use an "Execute SQL Task" (the tin can with red arrows) to do something along the lines of:
declare @col1 varchar(10), @col2 date, @col3 int
declare c1 cursor for
select * from MyExcelNames
open c1
while (@@fetch_status = 0) begin
fetch c1 into @col1, @col2, @col3
if (@@fetch_status = 0) begin
exec MyNamesProcedure @col1, @col2, @col3
end
end
close c1This will run your stored procedure once for each row imported from Excel.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone.
I am stucked,busy doing an access system for monitering the arrival,lunch and depature time of employees.I need a sql statement that checks if the timein and timeout column are null in the table.
pls help.

SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeColumn IS NULL

let me clarify my question.
I am busy with security access system for monitoring the arrival,lunch and depature time of employee,so when a user click an access card the system should check if that user has just arrived meaning that theres a record for arrival in the database,if not it should create it,
so now I want a sql statement to check if theres null value in the table.
my column names are:
Date, Name, IN, OUT so if a user click an access card in the morning the record will be like this: DATE Name TimeIn OUT
07/02/07 Jomo 7:45 Null
then when the user click the card during lunch, system willhave to check if the In and Out columns are null and insert that time on the null column,
so when the user comes back from lunch it has to create a new record
then the table will look like: Date Name Timein TimeOut
07/02/07 Jomo 7:45 12:00
o7/02/07 Jomo 1:00 Null
so I need a sql statement which can always check if the time field is null so that it can insert time .

You could always do it like this in a stored procedure:
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM Test
WHERE [User] = @User AND [Out] IS NULL)
BEGIN
UPDATE Test
SET [Out] = @TimeValue
WHERE [User] = @User
AND [Out] IS NULL
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Test ([Date], [User], [In])
VALUES (GETDATE(), @User, @TimeValue)
END
Swapping in your parameters obviously.

OK, I did say that I didn't think it would work still. I answered in a hurry. Colin is right, you can't run min on count, count is always a number. To get the lowqest value, you want to do something like
select top 1 count(friends) as friendCount, userId from tbl group by userId order by friendCount asc
something like that, it's almost certainly not right 100%. But, you get the userId and the count of friends, you order it so the first record is the lowest, then you grab that one record.

Thanks its working fine.

you can only group by things you select
select min(count(friendname)), userid
from customer_friends
where friendname<>'Me' group by userid
may work. I'm not sure this will work overall, I don't have SQL Server here to test it.

This:
select min(count(friendname)) is the source of the error.
You have nested two aggregate functions inside each other. COUNT() has a single result, so the MIN() of a COUNT() is always the same as the result of COUNT().. Essentially, there is nothing to aggregate.
I really cannot see what your intent was with this statement, so I cannot help you correct the problem. All I can suggest is to remove the MIN() and just leave the COUNT().
If you can explain your intentions then it might be easier to help.

hi
I think its not possible to find the minimum or maximum value for an aggregate function like 'count' because that will return a single value only..like if there are 12 members whose name <> 'ME', then the output will be 12.
From this 12, how can you find the minimum value? Thats why the error has occured.

Hello,
I have a typed dataset which I want to display in an ultragrid (infragistics) and display the parent and the children.
I can display this ok when I want to display all of the parents and children. But the problem is when user will need to select one parent (by customerID number) from a list and display that parent with its children in the grid.
I have created the dataset schema dsAssembliedEquipment.xsd and my 2 tables assembly and AssembiledEquipment. And also created the relationship between them.
I have a stored procedure (getDataByCustomerID) that will find the customerID of the assembly (parent) table.
This is my code for setting the grid.
<br />
'Table Adapter to get the customer ID record<br />
Me.TA_Assembly1.GetDataCustomerID(customerID)<br />
'Fill the assembly (parent) table and assembliedEquipment table(child)<br />
Me.TA_Assembly1.Fill(Me.DsAssemblyEquipment1.Assembly) Me.TA_AssembliedEquipment1.Fill(Me.DsAssemblyEquipment1.AssembliedEquipment)<br />
Me.grdCustomersAssembly.DataMember = "Assembly"<br />
Me.grdCustomersAssembly.DataSource = Me.DsAssemblyEquipment1 <br />
Code for the stored procedure getDataCustomerID:
<br />
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Assembly_SelByCustomerID]<br />
(<br />
@CustomerID int<br />
)<br />
AS<br />
SET NOCOUNT ON;<br />
SELECT AssemblyID, CustomerID, AssemblyName<br />
FROM dbo.[Assembly]<br />
WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID <br />
I have Assembly (parent) Table fields AssemblyID / customerID / AssemblyName
I have child table called AssemblyEquipment (child) fields SerialNo / make / Model / AssemblyID (Foreign Key)
Many thanks for any help with this problem,
Steve

If you haven't already solved your problem I think it would be helpful to clarify what part you are having a problem with. Are you trying to change the stored procedure or add a customer row to the datagrid after you bind the data?

Hi Guru's
I created a stored procedure which on a straight query it will appear like this
select BookTitle, Author, Status from LibBooks where Author like '%Buck%'
On my SP I created two @parameters to have flexibility on my query, @SearchCategory - column name (Author)
@SearchField - text to be searched (Buck)
Problem:
I noticed that my query does'nt return result, its it possible to use @parameter as substitute to column name on a condition?
Something like this:
select BookTitle, Author, Status from LibBooks where @SearchCategory like '%' + @SearchField + '%'
SP that I created
Create procedure [dbo].[sp_searchFromCat]
(
@SearchCategory varchar(100) = null,
@SearchField varchar (100) = null
)
as
begin
select
BookTitle,
Author,
Status
from
LibBooks
where
@SearchCategory like '%' + @SearchField + '%'
end

The easiest way to make the column in the where clause dynamic is to build the query in the procedure then execute the sql code. example from article:
Article on dynamic sql [^]
use Northwind
go
declare @RECCNT int
declare @ORDID varchar(10)
declare @CMD Nvarchar(100)
set @ORDID = 10436
SET @CMD = 'SELECT @RECORDCNT=count(*) from [Orders]' +
' where OrderId < @ORDERID'
print @CMD
exec sp_executesql @CMD,
N'@RECORDCNT int out, @ORDERID int',
@RECCNT out,
@ORDID
print 'The number of records that have an OrderId' +
' greater than ' + @ORDID + ' is ' +
cast(@RECCNT as char(5))
Another idea is if you only have a couple possible columns you could do something like this
Select *
From table
where column1 = isnull(@Column1Value, column1)
and column2 = isnull(@Column2Value, column2)
This might not perform well on a large table
