Declare @number as int;
Set @number = 120;
Select top 3 CM, abs(CM-@number) FROM tblMgtTest
where CM <> @number order by abs(CM-@number);
Do good and have good.

Hi,
What is the difference between the following to stored procedures:
aspnet_Membership_GetUserByName
aspnet_Membership_GetUserByUserId
I am using my own custom membership provider. I had to override the GetUser method and I just want to the user details, and not sure what stored procedure to use, I assume the aspnet_Membership_GetUserByName stored procedure?
Can someone also explain to me what the @UpdateLastActivity input parameter is and when to set it?
Thanks
Brendan

Let me think....
If you have these procs in your SQL Server, can't you look at them ?

Select @total=total+@total,@month=@month + [month] + ' ' + Cast(@total as varchar(6)) + ',' from CummSum
Then you have to split the value with comma and spaces

Hi Friends,
I am having problem with extracting data from a field which has datatype text in sql server 2005. Following is the two sample rows which contains the field.
1.
TrackID14910417OrderID1019RefReason1019Src21244700309600019SID13640214PayCh13MJA210PurchaseID10218
2.
TrackID145493211Description235USE+IT+UP+AND+WEAR+IT+OUT+-+ODYSSEY17OrderID10210PurchaseID1019RefReason10214PayCh13MJA16UserID23642B942B8-05D0-4447-BEEC-7EF11419368B217CVFDate1019SID13640213TID1019Dst21244700059600
I want to extract TrackID value from above two rows, the length of the values may vary, it might be 8,9 or 10 digits long.

I guess you need to pull out ten characters, and then parse them. In future, perhaps you can think of a more sensible format

yes 10 characters needed and then need to parse them, it could be a sensible format in the future but currently we have to continue with this..

Hi,
I am planning to develop a web application by ASP.NET on document management for commercial distribution. The target customers are middle size companies
and they will host their own applicaton servers.
I am now considering using which backend server database for development
and deployment. The candidates are MySQL, Interbase and Firebird.
My questions are as follow,
1. Are MySQL and Interbase are free for commercial distribution ?
(I only know that firebird is free, and MySQL and Interbase are open-source)
2. Coz firebird is free for commerical distribution, is it good enough as backend server for mid-sized company usage ?
3. From view of performance only, which one is the best ?
4. From view of performance combined with cost, which one is the best ?
Thanks

MySQL is not free for commercial use, AFAIK
I would say write standard SQL and test with all three to see which performs best for you.

A couple things I'd LOVE to see Microsoft, if not ANSI, add to SQL.
#1
Select As Elements<br />
*<br />
From<br />
Elements;
Since SQL Server and VS.NET 2005 were released basically as sister projects, this would have been wonderful for queries that returned more than one table. The tables in a DataSet get called, by default, Table, Table2, Table3, etc. You can override this using the DataTableMapping class, but having it named in the query could also be useful.
#2
Select<br />
*, -ID, -Name<br />
From<br />
SomeTable
This would select all columns, except for ID and Name. Normally, it is bad practice, as most developers know, to use Select *. However, if you're writing a proc that must work on a table that is passed in by name, for instance, you either have to use Select *, or query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA for the necessary columns. The above syntax, I think, is much nicer.

I'm trying to write datetime's to an access DB. I can read them using an oleDbDataAdaptor and a dataset created from it, but when I write new values back to the DB only the date value is sent and the time is set to midnight. When debugging I can see the dataset is storing both the date and time values within my C# application, but only the former is being written into the DB itself.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Solved by changing the type of the fields in the parameter collection for each query from OleDbType.DBDate to OleDbType.Date

Hi,
Please look at the following piece of code from a strored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.aspnet_Membership_CreateUser
@UniqueEmail int = 0
Does this mean that if @UniqueEmail is not supplied it will add a 0 to that table field?
Thanks
Brendan

I think you have your terminology wrong. This code has nothing to do with fields (columns) on tables.
If you call the stored procedure and you do not supply a value for the @UniqueEmail parameter then it will be replaced with 0. If you supply NULL as the parameter value it remains null.

Hy,
I hope this is the place where to post my problem. I didn't see a specialized forum for Sql Reporting Services. So here goes.
I have to create a report, rdl file. The report shows a few statistics for a period of time. I passed, the parameters, showed the data, everything. Now the only thing left is to modify the report to show the statistics for one month on a page. To give an example: I want to see the statistics from 1st of march to the 21st of april. The report should have 2 pages: a page for the month of march and one page with statistics from 1st of april to the 21st.
I tried google, MSDN, and stil couldn't find a solution to this problem.
Any hint is welcomed.
Thanks
PS: I'm using SQL Server 2005 and VS 2003

Have you tried using a datalist to repeat your data based on the month?
|

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried a data list, but to be sincerely I don't know how to filter the data based on the month. Can you give me a small example? Thanks

I'm currently creating a data import routine for a project I'm working on that involves populating a database with information retrieved from an Excel spreadsheet.
I've found a problem with the way that column data types are discovered; certain columns are sparsely populated (e.g. one column has null / empty values for the first 50 rows and then numerical data after that) and it appears that this prevents data in that column from being loaded.
Apart from changing the sorting of the sheet, does anyone have any suggestions about how I could get around this? I believe that Excel uses a registry key to determine how many rows to look at when determining the data type but I'm really looking for a different solution.
Thanks in advance
It definitely isn't definatley

I Love SQL

I have 3 Tables (Person-1------1->Employee-1------*>Career)
an employee can have multiple Career. I created the sql statement below
to return some information on about 200 employees
##################################################
select p.FamilyName,
p.AddressLine1,
Career.CareerDescription
from Person as p
inner join Employee on Employee.EmployeeID =p.PersonID
inner join Career on Employee.UniqueIdentifier = Career.ParentIdentifier and Career.PrimaryPostYN = 'Y'
###############################################
The "Career.PrimaryPostYN = Y" indicates which Post is active for an employee with multiple Career.
So only one post should be active at any one time. All other should be set to "Career.PrimaryPostYN = N"
QUESTION:
If an employee has multipe Career and all his career entries is set to "Career.PrimaryPostYN = Y". In such a case i want to return the first case where "Career.PrimaryPostYN = Y"
How do i alter the above statement to do this while returning information for all other employee. I tried "top 1" but that only returned 1 record out of the 200?

The first thing you need to answer is: If the person has multiple rows where PrimaryPost is 'Y' and you want the "first", how do you define "first"?
Databases are set based systems. There is no concept of first. It may appear that way, but that is just a manifestation of the algorithms used to store and retrieve the data and the result order may change if the database engine decides on a different optimisation for a particular query.

Somthing like this is stored in the tables
Name : PrimaryPostYN : Post
-------------------------------------
john: Y : Electrical Engineer
John: Y : Engineer
Ben : N : Editor
Ben : Y : Senior Copywriter
Tom : Y : Developer
In this case there are two valid entries for "John". i want to display
the first entry when "John" is an "Electrical Engineer" or "Enginner" (Whichever one is return first in the record set) plus all the other Employees as well. How can i alter the Statement in my first post to do this?
