I am having the following error:
is not a recognized table hints option. if it is intended as a parameter to a table valued function, ensure that your database capability is set to 90
from the below code
select*from dbo.customerpurchases
with
(termlystartdate-examdate/365) AS [ID Length]
Any ideas?
Thanks
Try this:
select (termlystartdate-examdate/365) as IdLength, *
from dbo.customerpurchases
It would be better if you specified column names instead of using select *.
select (termlystartdate-examdate)/365 as IdLength
from dbo.customerpurchases

I have multiple tables with very similar schema except one column, which can have different names.
I want to make some complicated calculations using Hive and would like to have one code for all tables with possible parametrisation. For some reasons, I can't parametrise queries using language like Python, Scala etc, so decided to go with pure Hive SQL.
I want to conditionally select appropriate column, but it seems, that Hive evaluates all parts of conditional expression/statement regardless of condition.
What did I wrong?
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `so_sample`;
CREATE TABLE `so_sample` (
`app_version` string
);
SELECT
if (true, app_version, software_version) AS firmware
FROM so_sample
;
Output:
Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10004]: Line 2:25 Invalid table alias or column reference 'software_version': (possible column names are: app_version) (state=42000,code=10004)

Try to use regex to select the column with different names, for more information see manual and don't forget
set hive.support.quoted.identifiers=none;
I am writing a simple query in SQL Server:
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE CONTAINS(Column1, 'MY')
but it doesn't return any results. While using like it returns results.
Is there any specific reason why the keyword 'MY' doesn't work?
Update:
If I use other keywords, it works, only the specific 'MY' seems to be that I cannot used. My column is already set into fulltext index. Also for performance purposes I prefer to use CONTAINS.
you could do something like
select * from Table1 where Column1 like '%MY%'
When you use linq you can use the statements like you use in C#. It will be translated to SQL, a language which database can execute. So, try something like this:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Column1 like #Column1";
And in your command, try to add parameters to replace the #Column1
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Column1", "%MY%");
The % char, represents anything. So, if you want to do a command like StartWith like we do from string, just use MY%.
I have this query:
select * from table where column like '%firstword[something]secondword[something]thirdword%'
What do I replace [something] with to match an unknown number of spaces?
Edited to add: % will not work as it matches any character, not just spaces.
Perhaps somewhat optimistically assuming "unknown number" includes zero.
select *
from table where
REPLACE(column_name,' ','') like '%firstwordsecondwordthirdword%'
The following may help: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlclr/archive/2005/06/29/regex.aspx
as it describes using regular expressions in SQL queries in SQL Server 2005
I would definitely suggest cleaning the input data instead, but this example may work when you call it as a function from the SELECT statement. Note that this will potentially be very expensive.

As I had written in title, I have SQL query, run on Oracle DB, lets say:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.NAME Like 'IgNoReCaSe'
If I would like, that the query would return either "IGNORECASE", "ignorecase" or combinations of them, how can this be done?
Select * from table where upper(table.name) like upper('IgNoreCaSe');
Alternatively, substitute lower for upper.
Use ALTER SESSION statements to set comparison to case-insensitive:
alter session set NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC;
alter session set NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI;
If you're still using version 10gR2, use the below statements. See this FAQ for details.
alter session set NLS_COMP=ANSI;
alter session set NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI;
You can use either lower or upper function on both sides of the where condition
You could also use Regular Expressions:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE REGEXP_LIKE (TABLE.NAME,'IgNoReCaSe','i');
You can use the upper() function in your query, and to increase performance you can use a function-base index
CREATE INDEX upper_index_name ON table(upper(name))
You can convert both values to upper or lowercase using the upper or lower functions:
Select * from table where upper(table.name) like upper('IgNoreCaSe')
or
Select * from table where lower(table.name) like lower('IgNoreCaSe');
In version 12.2 and above, the simplest way to make the query case insensitive is this:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.NAME COLLATE BINARY_CI Like 'IgNoReCaSe'
...also do the conversion to upper or lower outside of the query:
tableName:= UPPER(someValue || '%');
...
Select * from table where upper(table.name) like tableName
Also don't forget the obvious, does the data in the tables need to have case? You could only insert rows already in lower case (or convert the existing DB rows to lower case) and be done with it right from the start.
I know you cannot use a alias column in the where clause for T-SQL; however, has Microsoft provided some kind of workaround for this?

One workaround would be to use a derived table.
For example:
select *
from
(
select a + b as aliased_column
from table
) dt
where dt.aliased_column = something.
I hope this helps.
Depending on what you are aliasing, you could turn it into a user defined function and reference that in both places. Otherwise your copying the aliased code in several places, which tends to become very ugly and means updating 3+ spots if you are also ordering on that column.
