Ok, I googled for Oracle CTE and I think you're talking about some Toolbox package, can you tell me what is it and why do you think it should help me??
Thanks mate!

I believe that Common Table Expressions are limited to SQL Server 2005 and higher. I don't know of any way to use the column-alias within the select statement itself.

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm using Oracle and that's why I didn't come across this CTE thing, thanks anyways mate!

Sorry for not answering your original question properly! You can use the column-name aliases in the ORDER BY clause.
SELECT Column1, Column2, Column1 + Column2 AS Column3
FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) AS Column1,
MAX(COL#) AS Column2
FROM COL$
)--edit--
It's impossible within a single SELECT, both in TSQL aswell as PL/SQL.
Enjoy

Actually, I'm already doing this and was looking for a better way.

I had one of my devs ask the exact same question in SQL Server, he got the same answer - not with SQL syntax.

I don't think that any of the leading sql systems will allow you to express your query in the way that you want. However, whilst you can't write it like that, the query processor will actually do exactly what you want anyway; It will not re-evaluate the aggregates if they are used in further calculations in the same logical query phase, it will re-use what it already has.

hello - I bang my head against the wall trying to rewrite this recursive TSQL proc so we can do this in UDF instead? (and more efficient and to be able to bind it to view column... etc)
<br />

Assuming you are using SQL2005/2008 take a look at CTE (Common Table Expression). These make recursion really easy.

thanks I got my recursive CTE expression working but two more questions!
is it good with UDF (user defined function)? and performance better than CURSOR?
NOTE: You can't do these from UDF:
* execute/sp_executesql to run another stored proc
* use table variable as input/output function parameter
* access temp table
Anyway I got it working (but with problem and corresponding cheats to get around them)
<br />
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HierarchyMap] (<br />
[Id] [bigint] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,<br />
[ParentId] [bigint] NOT NULL, <br />
[ChildId] [bigint] NOT NULL,<br />
[ParentType] [varchar] (255) NOT NULL,<br />
[ChildType] [varchar] (255) NOT NULL, <br />
CONSTRAINT [PK_HierarchyMap] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED <br />
(<br />
[Id] ASC<br />
)<br />
)<br />
Assuming I only have two rows in the table - select * from HierarchyMap:
<br />
Id ParentId ChildId ParentType ChildType<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------<br />
1 1 1 Group SystemUser<br />
2 1 2 Group SystemUser<br />
Now, my CTE sql is as follows and the problems are:
1. Max depth 100 for recursion exceeded
2. Duplicate rows (no idea..)
<br />
WITH Children AS<br />
(<br />
--initialization<br />
SELECT<br />
[Id],<br />
[ParentId],<br />
[ChildId],<br />
[ParentType],<br />
[ChildType]<br />
FROM HierarchyMap<br />
WHERE <br />
ParentId=1 AND ParentType='Group'<br />
UNION ALL<br />
--recursive execution<br />
SELECT <br />
[MAP].[Id],<br />
[MAP].[ParentId],<br />
[MAP].[ChildId],<br />
[MAP].[ParentType],<br />
[MAP].[ChildType],<br />
CH.Depth+1 'Depth'<br />
FROM HierarchyMap MAP INNER JOIN Children CH<br />
ON MAP.ParentId = CH.ChildId<br />
WHERE <br />
Depth<100 -- PROBLEM 1: If I don't limit depth I get error <b>"The maximum recursion 100 has been exhausted before statement completion."</b><br />
)<br />
SELECT ParentId, ParentType, ChildId, ChildType FROM Children <b>GROUP BY Id, ParentId, ParentType, ChildId, ChildType</b> -- PROBLEM 2: I don't ... understand the duplicate rows... which is why I need to do a GROUP-BY... think I did something wrong?<br />
Suggestion?

You can set the maxrecursion option to something other than the default of 100. If you set the value as 0 it will recurse as many times as it wants. Just make sure that the query will not lead to an infinite loop.

Can somebody shed light on what is file logging? Does it stand alone or comes as a part of some javascript?
Is it just a set of some classes used to log errors and events? Waiting for some direction..
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
And what does it have to do with a database forum?
File logging is just a generic term for logging information to a file, as opposed to say a database. There are loads of examples & free code out there to do it, or just roll your own, its simple enough - just think ahead if you are multi-threading.

How can I write a query which updates the top 200 rows of a table and then selects those rows? Here is what I have so far:
UPDATE TableX
SET Column2= 'XXXXX'
FROM
(
SELECT TOP 200 Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4
FROM TableX
WHERE Column2 IS NULL
)AS RetrievedRows
WHERE TableX.Column2= RetrievedRows.Column2
In the subquery I grab the top 200 rows, in the parent query I update those rows. But how can I select those rows that were just updated?

You could consider adding a 'last updated' timestamp, if you don't mind the bit extra overhead. That would simplify selecting the last updated records a tad

hi
I have a general question
if I write
row[0][0] = 5;
does a boxing occurs ?
should I write (from perfomance look )
row[0][0] = (object)5;
|
|
|
|
|
What database are you using
what is boxing - not in any SQL I know of

i'm using SQL 2005
but the boxing is not done by the SQL server
it's done by the CLR
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, can't help you there I don't use the cls, I know of no one who does. Stupid idea really, another layer of abstraction so the poor dev does not need to learn TSQL.
However I use convert.to????? in C# rather than boxing.
