A little tip - if you convert your SQL dates as follows:
select convert(char(8),getdate(),112)
For 11 April 2008 you will get a result of "20080411".
Format your VS dates in the same manner.
Now the advantage of changing the date to this format is that you can do comparisons with confidence.
You always pass failure on the way to success.

will this allow me to use the calender function on VS to select certain data from within two dates? As my data is in a datetime format in my database.
All I want to do is to select data from x date to y date and pull all the data from within that period. And with the format I have at the moment it is messing me around.

Hi!
I would like to put in a variable in a xquery function.
I would like to dynamicly increase the [1] number.
Content.value('(//mislife/insurance/party/@pno)[1]', 'varchar(max)')
The line above works!
This is how I failed.
declare @iCounter int
set iCounter = 1
Content.value('(//mislife/insurance/party/@pno)' + str(@iCounter) , 'varchar(max)')
The error I receive from SQL:
"The argument 1 of the xml data type method "value" must be a string literal."
I have tried with cast(1 as varchar(max)) and whith the str() function but the compilater wont accept it.
Is it possible the change/break up this type of string?

It looks like you're trying to perform some iterative operation. Have you looked at FLWOR? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190945.aspx[^]
I haven't had cause to use much XQuery in SQL, but it would seem this is better suited. If that's not what you're looking for have you tried constructing the string outside the value() function? Sometimes SQL doesn't like it when you try and pass operations to parameters and you have to pass a ready-made value. Like this:
<br />
SET @xQueryExpression = '(//mislife/insurance/party/@pno)' + str(@iCounter)<br />
Content.value(@xQueryExpression, 'varchar(max)')<br />

Thank you!
The .value can just handle an complete string. I have desided to do the operation in .net code instead.
I will read the data into xmlnodes.
Thank you very much!

Just got asked about this, so how can we do it? I'm pretty sure that they want it into SQL, but we also have a DB2 environment, so if anyone knows how to do that it would be cool.

|
|
I think you can do it via SSIS? If not, you can always use OLEDB to pull the data and fill the SQL...

Good Morning All
i have the Following quey,that i want to put their results into a table like this
SELECT DISTINCT(SS.FUNCTION_KEY),P.FUNC_KEY,P.PROPERTY_ID,SS.LIS_KEY,P.LIS_KEY,SS.FLOOR_AREA,P.ACTUAL_EXTENT<br />
Into Final_Area_GEOSS FROM SDE.PROPERTY P INNER JOIN Scheme_Area_GEOSS SS ON<br />
P.LIS_KEY = SS.LIS_KEY AND SS.FUNCTION_KEY = SUBSTRING(P.FUNC_KEY,1,5)+'0'+substring(P.FUNC_KEY,6,3)<br />
WHERE P.FUNC_KEY LIKE 'GEOSS%' <br />
order by ss.lis_key,p.lis_key
when i run this Query i get an Error that says
Msg 2705, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'LIS_KEY' in table 'Final_Area_GEOSS' is specified more than once.
i understands what it mean, but it does not matter how many lis_key repeat itself, as long as that data gets into the table.
how can i achieve that
thanks

Your problem is you cannot have duplicate column names in a table - obviously - and in your query you select SS.LIS_KEY twice. You need to alias one or both of them for example:
SELECT DISTINCT(SS.FUNCTION_KEY),P.FUNC_KEY,P.PROPERTY_ID,SS.LIS_KEY as Geoss_LIS_KEY,P.LIS_KEY as Property_Lis_Key,SS.FLOOR_AREA,P.ACTUAL_EXTENT<br />
Into Final_Area_GEOSS FROM SDE.PROPERTY P INNER JOIN Scheme_Area_GEOSS SS ON<br />
P.LIS_KEY = SS.LIS_KEY AND SS.FUNCTION_KEY = SUBSTRING(P.FUNC_KEY,1,5)+'0'+substring(P.FUNC_KEY,6,3)<br />
WHERE P.FUNC_KEY LIKE 'GEOSS%' <br />
order by ss.lis_key,p.lis_key
That will fix your problem.

Thats OK. By the way, you should not do it this way as it locks the system tables in the database for the duration of the query. That prevents any other queries using them and could have a big perforamnce hit.
I would do it like this
SELECT DISTINCT(SS.FUNCTION_KEY),P.FUNC_KEY,P.PROPERTY_ID,SS.LIS_KEY as Geoss_LIS_KEY,P.LIS_KEY as Property_Lis_Key,SS.FLOOR_AREA,P.ACTUAL_EXTENT<br />
Into Final_Area_GEOSS FROM SDE.PROPERTY P INNER JOIN Scheme_Area_GEOSS SS ON<br />
P.LIS_KEY = SS.LIS_KEY AND SS.FUNCTION_KEY = SUBSTRING(P.FUNC_KEY,1,5)+'0'+substring(P.FUNC_KEY,6,3)<br />
<big>WHERE 1 = 2 </big>
which creates an empty table (almost) instantly, and then
<big>Insert Into Final_Area_GEOSS </big><br />
SELECT DISTINCT(SS.FUNCTION_KEY),P.FUNC_KEY,P.PROPERTY_ID,SS.LIS_KEY as Geoss_LIS_KEY,P.LIS_KEY as Property_Lis_Key,SS.FLOOR_AREA,P.ACTUAL_EXTENT<br />
FROM SDE.PROPERTY P INNER JOIN Scheme_Area_GEOSS SS ON<br />
P.LIS_KEY = SS.LIS_KEY AND SS.FUNCTION_KEY = SUBSTRING(P.FUNC_KEY,1,5)+'0'+substring(P.FUNC_KEY,6,3)<br />
WHERE P.FUNC_KEY LIKE 'GEOSS%'
to populate it.

While you are creating a table, either with a 'Create Table...' or 'select * into ...' the system objects such as syscolumns are locked. Obviously while they are lcked no-one ele can create a table. This is particularly apparent where you have a 'select * into #table from ...', tempdb is effectively locked for the duration of the select.

I want to get two columns data from two tables which are not dependent to each other i.e. no key common in both they are not related to each other.
I can't use JOIN because it needs where clause which uses a common field from both tables.
I just want one column from one table and one column from another and display it.
how can do it?
some unions or any other syntax for that?
Thanks in advance,
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no dependency between the two tables why do you want to bring back this way?

I am not sure what you want to do. Do you think a cross join will give the results that you need?
