As far as I know, there is no such ptredefined variables as @DateMin and @DateMax - assuming you are using sql server.
Something like this should get you what you want
WHERE (A.Id=@id) AND
(A.Date BETWEEN coalesce(B.Date1,A.Date) AND coalesce(B.Date2,A.Date))
The coalesce means take the first non-null value

thanks or your answer
i have this problem sorted out with ISNULL()
WHERE (A.Id=@id) AND
(A.Date BETWEEN ISNULL(B.Date1,@DateMin) AND coalesce(B.Date2,@DateMax))
@DateMin = '01/01/1900'
@DateMax = '01/01/2079'
works perfectly. why i couldn't come out with this at first

Just for info, coalesce is the ansi standard and has the advantage of allowing more than 2 options eg
coalesce(val1,val2,val3, val4) etc wll take the first non-null value rather than just isnull(val1,val2)

No problem, its a useful one to know when you have several values to work with.

I've given a client the following query to delete duplicate phone no. records in an MSSQL database, but now they need to also do it on MySQL, and they report that MySQL complains about the format of the query. I've included the setup of a test table with duplicates for my code sample, but the actual delete query is what counts.
I'm asking this in ignorance and urgency, as I am still busy downloading and installing MySQL, and just maybe somebody can help in the mean time.
create table bkPhone
(
phoneNo nvarchar(20),
firstName nvarchar(20),
lastName nvarchar(20)
)
GO
insert bkPhone values('0783313780','Brady','Kelly')
insert bkPhone values('0845319792','Mark','Smith')
insert bkPhone values('0834976958','Bill','Jones')
insert bkPhone values('0845319792','Mark','Smith')
insert bkPhone values('0828329792','Mickey','Mouse')
insert bkPhone values('0834976958','Bill','Jones')
alter table bkPhone add phoneId int identity
delete from bkPhone
where phoneId not in
(
select min(phoneId)
from bkPhone
group by phoneNo,firstName,lastName
having count(*) >= 1
)
|

Hope this will help you.
<br />
where phoneId not in <br />
( <br />
select phoneId from bkPhone order by phoneid asc limit 1<br />
<br />
)

At a guess you have permissioning issues. Have you created a user for SQL and the services to use.
No one can really help you based on a screen shot of the installation summary. Study the detail of the errors, the first one probably caused all the others so fix it first. Go through the installation directions IN DETAIL, there are 1000s of developer versions installed out there so it is not rocket science.

You can shrink the logfile on demand. There's help on how to do that from the Management Studio here[^], or if you want to do this from SQL, look here[^].
That will only help until the file fills up again, or you'll have to hunt down the reason why the logfile is filling up. The documentation on the transaction log can be found here[^].
Good luck

Hi
How to activate Oracle server ?

thank's

Hi All,
In general, Sql Server having its default password. We can change the password also. But if I want to set a password for individual Databases in SqlServer 2005,
is it possible ?
Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't believe so. Logins and passwords aren't specified at the database level - but users are. I guess you'd say that logins are specified at the instance level. Logins are then mapped to users. You could create different logins and only give them access to specific databases.

scottgp is correct.
dont map the database(s) that you dont want the user to have access to for that login.

Having left it to the last day to try and learn and build this stuff. You are going to FAIL. You deserve to fail and I for one will breathe a sigh of relief, another lazy idiot that will not make it into the ranks of junior programmers.

Mycroft Holmes that's not reply of my scrap . if you are aware about solution of my problem then you may post scrap or email me & if you don't know solution then its not the right way to disturbe me. OK. coz so for as I almost overcome my problem & if you have best solution then post otherwise don't abuse. thanks.

Read these info for you[^]
You did almost everything wrong, lousy post title, asked for a solution rather than help with a problem and demanded an urgent reply. This indicates a person with no manners, no common sense to understand the forum you are using and, based on the content, no ability to plan.
Yes I know an answer to your problem, you see I've been doing this for 20yrs and regularly mentor junior programmers and try to turn them into developers. If I had someone like you working with me I would find somewhere to park you until I could get you removed.

hello
need to rewrite the following for Oracle and MySQL... feeling a bit lazy 
<br />
USE AuditDB<br />
go<br />
<br />
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[Log]') AND type in (N'U'))<br />
DROP TABLE [dbo].[Log]<br />
<br />
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Log] (<br />
[Id] [bigint] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,<br />
[Date] [datetime] NOT NULL,<br />
[Thread] [varchar] (255) NOT NULL,<br />
[Level] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL,<br />
[Logger] [varchar] (255) NOT NULL,<br />
[Message] [varchar] (4000) NOT NULL,<br />
[Exception] [varchar] (2000) NULL<br />
)<br />
#1 what's sys.objects for Oracle and MySQL?
#2 IDENTITY?
#3 the brackets?
#4 USE [DATABASE NAME] --- got a feeling don't apply in Oracle...
Thanks!
