Apologies, this is kind of a convoluted question. I have a SQL query in a ASP web-page, which is returning a dataset to a webgrid in the page. Looks like so:

I'd like to be able to take the "Community" column and keep the output the same, but make the output into a link to a software client based on the specific Community thats listed. We have a short list of them (maybe 4-5 total) so it'll mean only 4-5 different downloads.
Additionally, I may need to include a field for the OS as we have different downloads per OS (Mac / Windows). I assume if I can get the logic set for one, I can probably repeat that for the other column.
Any ideas on how I could approach this? I'm just not sure how to phrase this question appropriately, but I think this might make it more clear.
Thanks!
what you would need to do is something like
SELECT account, telephone, "<a href='"+communityURL+"'>"+community+"</a>" as CommunityCol, status
FROM myTable
ORDER BY account
... so, assuming the URL is described in communityURL the output you get in the CommunityCol column (from memory you might need to rename it) is a concatenated string containing what you need

I would like to know if it is possible to do a search like this:
"give me all objects where description has more than 1 value"
The short answer is no. At least not from a single LDAP Query without somehow parsing the results.
I know of a tool that will provide those results however it has not been updated in a while but last time I used it, it worked.
First at all sorry for my English, this is not my native language. So.
I want to execute a SQL query in a script to get some data. I don't know if it's possible and if so, how to make it. To summarize :
The script add a button in M3 Smart Office (a ERP). I already done that.
When i select a row in a M3 function (like an article, or a client) i want to take and send his ID (and some other data) to a website.
They're is a lot of function in M3. In each function, they're are some field who contains a data. One of them contain the ID of the object (An article, a client,...). What i want to do, is to get this ID. The problem is that the field who contains the ID doesn't have the same name in all the function. So, i have two solutions :
Do a lot of if/elseif. Like "if it's such function, take such field". But if I (or somebody else) want to add a combination function/field later i (or somebody else ;) )need to do that in the script. It's not practical.
Create a sql table wich contain all the combination function/field. Then is the script, i do a sql query and i get all the data that the script need.
So here the situation. Maybe you have ideas to do that otherwise (without sql) and i take it !

I have a Post model that has one huge column (full_html). So instead of doing a select "posts".* or whatever, I want to select every field except full_html by default (and only grab it when I actually try accessing the attribute)
My current solution is:
Post.select(Post.column_names.map(&:to_sym) - [:full_html]).where(...)
but it's pretty gross
Here is a similar SO Question regarding blobs. The last two answers open up a couple of alternatives that you might want to check out. I was going to suggest something similar to the second to the last where you store the full html in a different model and then associate the two together but that may open up other performance issues.
I am using qodbc (a quickbooks database connector) It uses an ODBC-like sql language.
I would like to find all the records where a field matches a pattern but I have a slight delema.
The information in my field looks like this:
321-......02/25/10
321-1.....02/26/10
321-2.....03/25/10
321-3.....03/26/10
322-......04/25/10
322-1.....04/26/10
322-2.....05/25/10
322-3.....05/26/10
I would like my query to return only the rows where the pattern matches the first number. So if the user searches for '321' it will only show records that look like 321 but not those that have 321-1 or 321-3. Similarly if the user searched for 321-1 you would not see 321. (that's the easy part)
Right now I have
LIKE '321%'
This finds all of them regardless of if they are followed by dots or not. Is there a way I can limit the query to only specifics despite that field having more information that it should.
(P.S. I did not set up this system, it makes me wince to see two data points in one field
I'm sorry if my title isn't right, suggest a new title if you can. )
LIKE '321%' AND NOT LIKE '321-%'
I've run into an issue with an autocomplete field I'm working on. The field I'm working with is composed of the form "<NAME> (<CODE>)". When a user starts typing in text, I want to display any results that match either NAME or CODE.
For example, if this list contains items and their codes, like "Personal Computer (PC)", then I'd want the list to pop up that row if the user types "P", "PC", "Per", etc.
I've gotten this to work fine in SQLite with a query like this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE name LIKE "?%" or code LIKE "?%"
However, the problem I'm running into now is how to best sort the results that come back from this. For example, If someone enters "PC", I want "Personal Computer (PC)" to be the first result. However, if there's another row (you'll have to bear with me as this is contrived) "PC Case (301)", then there's no simple ordering I can do on the results to ensure that the best match appears first. Ordering by name and code both returns PC Case first.
I want a query where it returns the best match first, rather than items in alphabetical order. Is there such a function I can use in SQLite to get this, or should I return the results and then mess with the order in the code?
If it helps any, I'm using this for FilterQueryProviders on Android.
Yes, you should implement FullTextSearch and the use MATCH in your queries.
Ref: http://dotnetperls.com/sqlite-fts3
This is a long time after the fact, but I've solved my dilemma without having to resort to crazy sorting tactics.
Basically, once an autocomplete gets complex enough, you need to implement your own CursorAdapter (implementing FilterQueryProvider) then override convertToString(). That way, you end up being able to do complex queries via runQuery(), but can then convert it to readable form in convertToString().
