The only way to do what you want is using dynamic sql, basically build a string and execute it. A better soluton isto pass in 3 discreet variables and test each one for content.
Where ((Isnull(@UserName,'') == '' OR Table.UserName like @Username)
and ((Isnull(@Sate,'') == '' OR Table.State like @State)

hi,
i am a beginner in database...i have two tables like
eid ename pid and second table like pid salary
where i need to get the name of employee who took maximum salary in April month..
please suggest
|
|
|
|
|
Try something like this :
SELECT s.salary, e.ename FROM employees e INNER JOIN salaries s ON s.pid = e.pid HAVING s.salary = MAX(s.salary)
This assumes the first table is called employees and the second table is called salaries. Substitute real names as appropriate.
Hope this helps

I will have to leave that up to you to figure out. Mycroft has given you a link to an excellent resource for learning SQL. You will be better off by trying to work it out yourself.

Spanner, while Wayne has given you the answer I suggest you do NOT use a forum as your primary learning tool. Read up on queries using TSQL, there is plenty of doco and examples available. This will insure you spend less time struggling with really basic, easy to learn stuff (like this question) and more time being productive.
Here is an example of what you can find to help you Visual Representation of SQL Joins[^]
Oh and as a bonus you will not piss off the forum by asking endless very simple questions.&lt;/pre&gt;</pre></pre>

First of all, you need a field in the second table to capture date of salary.

hi to all
how can i optimiza this query
id dont want use select top(1) in nested select
thanks in advance
|
|

On a first look: too many subqueries.
Have a look here: How To: Optimize SQL Queries[^].
I would suggest you to ask Google with sentence: "query performance".

Consider changing Top(1) for Max([Time]), but with a proper indexing you shouldn't notice a to big difference.

I've built a RDL with SRSS 2008 (actually it's migrated from 2005 by opening and saving in SRSS 2008)
There's a group which its visibility is controlled by input parameters. (Static) rows inside the group sets RepeatOnNewPage as True and KeepWithGroup attribute is set to "Before" as footer also.
I found that the group keeps repeating on each page just only missing in the second last page.
I have tried to set the RepeatOnNewPage be either True or False for the group but the result still be same (missing the footer in 2nd last page).
I am not sure why this happening and hope if some advise can be provided. Thanks very much.
Source can be provided as request.

"Then" is not part of the SQL-IF construction. See here[^].
If the error says "incorrect syntax", then there's an error in parsing the command; it means that the computer doesn't understand what you want. Easiest solution to those errors is to verify the syntax (the way the command is written) using MSDN.

"Debugging"; as far is I can see, it'd select the "Else If(@ID1=5)", and execute that query. Replace those queries with a "print" statement, and see if it switches to the right one.

Hi,
Well, this is kind of embarrassing, i always used the GUI for altering the database tables in sql server 2005. Now, in sql server 2008, I need to write sql statements to do this.
I need to alter the existing column, and set it to not null with default value 0.
I got the not null part working, get error on default value.
alter table dbo.mytable
alter column [VendorLevelId] INT Not NULL Default 0
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Default'.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that's odd! BOL[^] says you should be able to use alter column ... set default x to set the default value, but it doesn't seem to work.
Try using three statements:
ALTER TABLE dbo.mytable
ADD CONSTRAINT DF_mytable_VendorLevelId DEFAULT (0) FOR VendorLevelId;
UPDATE dbo.mytable
SET VendorLevelId = 0
WHERE VendorLevelId Is Null;
ALTER TABLE dbo.mytable
ALTER COLUMN VendorLevelId int NOT NULL;

Here's an example from BOL (2k8):
CREATE TABLE dbo.doc_exy (column_a INT ) ;
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.doc_exy (column_a) VALUES (10) ;
GO
Straightforwardly:
SELECT * FROM dbo.doc_exy
Gets:
10
Now, doing the operation appears to suggest that no default value is ever needed:
ALTER TABLE dbo.doc_exy ALTER COLUMN column_a DECIMAL (5, 2);
GO
SELECT * FROM dbo.doc_exy
Shows what I mean:
10.00
DROP TABLE dbo.doc_exy ;
GO

Two of my OLAP databases disappeared in the last few days. Thankfully I had a backup.
However, I would want to investigate the root cause. How do I proceed?

Check who has access to the system, look at the audit logs etc.

Does anyone have a code snippet that shows how to connect to a MariaDB database? Many of the examples I've found point to a MySql-compatible assembly. Is that the way you have to do it? I have no idea what assemblies to add to my references in a test project. I've not used MySql in donkey's years so I have absolutely no idea how to kick-start things using MariaDB.
Once I know what references to add and the syntax of a connection string particular to MariaDB's requirements I'll be okay from there.
TIA.
Edit: Forgot to mention I d/l the version 10.0 beta. Everything installed okay but I don't have any references visible to either MySql or MariaDB in a dotnet project.
