If you mean by using T-SQL then you can do by this query:
select count(fieldname) as appearedvalue,fieldname<br />
from tablename<br />
groub by fieldname
Hope this will help you.

You asked:
stevemarsh99 wrote: I need to count how many times a certain value is appearing but I have no idea how to do it.
The statement provided above will only count how many values are in a certain field. If that's what you need then ignore the rest of this post
However, if you want to count how many times a certain value appears you will need to use the distinct function. I recommend:
SELECT Count(DISTINCT FieldName) FROM TableName
Easy

Sorry stevemarsh99 and blue_boy 
I just realized what you actually wanted 
blue_boy's solution will work better

Hi Guys and Girls
I have been wrecking my brain all day trying to solve this problem and I hope some of you can help. I am using sql server 2005 to write a compounded stored procedure that does a series of things:
1. it reads the values from one column, removes the empty spaces around it, and stores it in another column (lets call it x) on the same table. *works*
2. it must check if the the new column (x) exists in the column of a different table *no errors*
3. if it exist, it needs to check if a value has 12 characters and begins with the character 's' *broken*
4. if it exist, it needs to check if another value has 13 characters and begins with the character 's'
5. finally, it must tag all the rows where the value exists in another table column
the code so far is:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spValidateSerials]
@LineItemID int
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE dbo.SerialNumberStaging
SET dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber = lTrim(rTrim(dbo.SerialNumberStaging.SerialNumber)),
dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewMacAddress = lTrim(rTrim(dbo.SerialNumberStaging.MacAddress))
if @LineItemID IN (Select dbo.sn_VendorProduct.fkCompanyID from dbo.sn_VendorProduct)
BEGIN
-- step 3: check company & serial number
if ((Len(dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber) = 12) AND
(SubString(dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber, 1, 1) = 's'))
UPDATE SerialNumberStaging
SET SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber = SubString(SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber,2,11)
END
UPDATE SerialNumberStaging
SET RowIsError = 1
WHERE (NewSerialNumber
IN
(SELECT SerialNumber FROM LineItem))
RETURN
END
as it stands, it is giving me the follwing error:
The multi-part identifier "dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber" could not be bound. in reference to line 26 (the second IF statement)...
ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

Use sp_help on the table SerialNumberStaging to show the table definition and post it here.

The specs for the stored proc were incorrect. With the new specs we've managed to fix the problem. The gritty step that was causing the confusion now looks like this:
UPDATE dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber
SET SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber = SubString(SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber,2,11) --12char
WHERE (Len(SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber) = 12)
AND SubString(dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber, 1, 1) = 's' --starts with 's'
AND dbo.SerialNumberStaging.NewSerialNumber -- it exists in lineItem
IN (SELECT dbo.LineItem.SerialNumber
FROM LineItem
WHERE dbo.LineItem.ID = @LineItemID
AND (dbo.LineItem.fkCompanyID -- line item or order???
IN (SELECT dbo.sn_Company.fkCompanyID
FROM dbo.sn_Company
)
)
)
Everything seems to be working now. 
Thanks Guys

Is there an equivalent '#Define' preprocessor for Microsoft's T-SQL, as in C++ ?
I want to be able to declare two table names, then go on and use these name definition
elsewhere in the SQL statement
eg.
<br />
#DEFINE TableA 'SomeTable'<br />
SELECT * FROM TableA
I Dream of Absolute Zero

Hi all!!
I need to pull a table from this simple db:
User:
[p_user_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[fname] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[sname] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[email] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[accesslevel] [int] NOT NULL,
[password] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[lastlogin] [datetime] NULL,
[logincount] [int] NULL,
Event:
[p_event_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[eventdate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[eventtype] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[firsthalfcolour] [int] NULL,
[secondhalfcolour] [int] NULL,
[firsthalfscore] [int] NULL,
[secondhalfscore] [int] NULL,
and Link:
[p_link_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[f_event_id] [int] NOT NULL,
[f_user_id] [int] NOT NULL,
[f_colour_id] [int] NOT NULL,
And I need to get a list of all the users with their win percentage. firsthalfcolour (winning colour) = f_colour_id (your team colour).
I have this to calculate an individuals percentage but I dont know how to get a 'group' overview?  :
CREATE procedure [dbo].[getwinpercentage_byuserid]
(
@userid int
)
as
declare @First integer
declare @Second integer
declare @Third integer
select @First = count(*) from [event]
left join [link] on f_event_id = p_event_id
left join colour on firsthalfcolour = p_colour_id
where f_user_id = @userid and firsthalfcolour = f_colour_id
select @Second = count(*) from [event]
left join [link] on f_event_id = p_event_id
left join colour on secondhalfcolour = p_colour_id
where f_user_id = @userid and secondhalfcolour = f_colour_id
select @Third = count(*) from [event]
left join [link] on f_event_id = p_event_id
left join colour on firsthalfcolour = p_colour_id
where f_user_id = @userid
select (CONVERT(varchar, ((@First + @Second) * 100) / (@Third * 2)) + '%') as 'Success rate'
If you can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I have a Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File (.csv)with 200,000 number of rows in excel.
I want to import this to SQL 2008 database.
There is a option to import in SQL but no option to import .csv file. So what would be the best way to import this file.
I have created a table with correct column name, next thing i wanna do is to import all the data.
I have tried below query, but no luck so far...
<br />
BULK <br />
INSERT abc_table<br />
FROM 'C:\xyz303.csv'<br />
WITH<br />
(<br />
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','<br />
)<br />
GO
Thanks

I do not have SQLServer 2008 installed, but I do have SQLServer 2005. Did you see an option for a flat file source? You should be able to import it using that.

I want to create a sequence in Oracle, and I want the start value to be the same as the value in another sequence.
This doesn't work:
CREATE SEQUENCE CUSTOMERID_SEQ
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 99999999
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH (SELECT THAT_OTHER_TABLESPACE.CUSTOMERID_SEQ.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL)
NOCYCLE
NOORDER
NOCACHE As there can be no subqueries in a Create Sequence
Any hints?
|
|
|
|
|
cant be done .. at least, not like this - start has to be an integer (so it doesnt even evaluate your select clause)
I could do it from c++ using oci - I'd do a [SELECT THAT_OTHER_TABLESPACE.CUSTOMERID_SEQ.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL] into an integer variable and then use that variable as a replacement into a create statement and execute the create statement.
Sorry, likely not what you were looking for ...
'g'

|
|
|

I wonder if it's possible to do that in pl-sql?
Then it could be saved to a script.
Thanks for the idea!
I'll try it this afternoon.
|
|
|
|
|
it should definately be do-able in pl-sql
'g'
|
|
|
|
|
|
For anyone interested, this is one way that works:
DECLARE
SEQ_ID NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT AN_OTHER_TABLESPACE.CUSTOMERID_SEQ.NEXTVAL INTO SEQ_ID FROM dual;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE SEQUENCE CUSTOMERID_SEQ
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 99999999
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH ' || SEQ_ID || '
NOCYCLE
NOORDER
NOCACHE';
END;
/

|
|
|

I have one script task. Withing this script task, I need to create and execute Execute SQL Task.
Can be do so?

Hello Friends,
I am in trouble while loading data to SQL Server. i am using bulkcopy code to load datas.
I dont have much knowledge with SQL
While loading, if error occurs (in xtreme cases) loading wont be perfect(ie I having four tables to be loaded. error may occur while loading the fourth table. for me its like corrupting the tables. because for tables are interconnected)
So if error occurs i want to roll back other three tables to last state.
The below code is i used for loading and these function is calling four times for updating four tables
Can Rollback property be applied to the below code?? Please do help
Or any other way to prevent the tables from getting corrupted
------------------------------------------
Public Function rb_BCP(ByVal Server As String, ByVal Database As String, _
ByVal Table As String, ByVal FileName As String)
Dim objServer As SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim objBCP As SQLDMO.BulkCopy
Dim objDB As SQLDMO.Database
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set objServer = New SQLDMO.SQLServer
Set objBCP = New SQLDMO.BulkCopy
objServer.LoginSecure = True
objServer.EnableBcp = True

End With

Set objBCP = Nothing
objServer.Disconnect

Now I want to connect to the MySQL database on a server outside my own. But it doesnt allow remote connections from my mysql database.
I have port 3306 open and the firewall off.
