My dbo.Report table has a column called Name. I need to somehow select the Name column in my sub select. How can I get the Name values from the sub select as well? Once I have those I need to be able to run another select query such as this:
SELECT * FROM MyOtherTable WHERE Name = #pName
where #pName being a newly created variable with values from the sub-select possibly?? I'm not sure how that works. Or something like this:
SELECT * FROM MyOtherTable WHERE Name IN (the values from my sub select go here)
PROC:
SELECT ListingInfo,
COALESCE((SELECT SUM(ListingViews)
FROM dbo.Report
WHERE (ID = #pID)
AND (DateEntered BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH, 0, #pFromDate) AND DATEADD(MONTH, 1, #pToDate)-1)
GROUP BY ID), 0) AS 'Views'
FROM dbo.Reporting r
INNER JOIN dbo.Listings l ON (r.ID = l.ID)
WHERE (r.ID = #pID)
AND l.TypeCode = 20
You can use a table variable to store your names.
DECLARE #Names TABLE
(
Name varchar(250),
SomeInt int
)
INSERT INTO #Names (Name, SomeInt)
SELECT Name, sum(ListingViews)
FROM WhateverTable
GROUP BY Name
SELECT * FROM OtherTable WHERE Name IN (SELECT Name FROM #Names)
You can go on to use #Names as if it were any other table, and if you use it in a stored procedure, it will automatically handle the clean up of the table variable when it ends.
Something like this?
Or what else do you need?
Didn't understand it at all, sorry.
SELECT *
FROM MyOtherTable
WHERE Name IN (SELECT name FROM Table WHERE Name = #pName)
Edit:
Something like this?
SELECT COUNT(*), name
FROM MyOtherTable O, Table T
WHERE O.Name = T.NAME
AND T.NAME = #pName
group by name

I am trying to select all distinct values from all tables that start with a specific name, like: 'logs_2020_12_01', 'logs_2021_01_02', ..To select all tables with this specific name is straight forward:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name LIKE 'logs_%';
The select I want for one individual table is:
SELECT DISTINCT batch FROM logs_2021_01_27;
but I cannot find a way to combine it to make the selection from all tables. I tried a couple of things but it does not work, like:
SELECT DISTINCT batch FROM (SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name LIKE 'logs_%')
any ideas?
thanks
What about using Dynamic SQL, stored your tables information into a temp table with id column and set it to identity.
CREATE TABLE #temp ---identity column will be used to iterate
(
id INT IDENTITY,
TableName VARCHAR(20)
)
INSERT INTO #temp
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name LIKE 'logs_%';
-- choose your own results with where conditions
DECLARE #SQL VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #Count INT = 1
DECLARE #Table VARCHAR(20)
WHILE #COUNT <= (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #temp)
BEGIN
select #table = TABLENAME FROM #temp WHERE id = #Count
SELECT #sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT(batch) FROM '+ #table
PRINT #SQL
SET #Count = #Count + 1
END
after your print result looks good, change it to EXEC(#SQL), thanks
SQLite does not support dynamic sql.
You have to select the column batch from each of all the tables and combine them with UNION so the duplicates are removed:
SELECT batch FROM logs_2020_12_01 UNION
SELECT batch FROM logs_2020_12_02 UNION
......................................
SELECT batch FROM logs_2020_12_30 UNION
SELECT batch FROM logs_2020_12_31
If you don't know the full names of the tables, you can get them with this statement:
SELECT name
FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type = 'table' AND name LIKE 'logs/_%' ESCAPE '/'
and then use a programming language to construct a SELECT statement with UNION to get the results that you want.
I have a function for checking if certain tables exist in my database, using part of the table name as a key to match (my table naming conventions include unique table name prefixes). It uses a select statement as below, where #TablePrefix is a parameter to the function and contains the first few characters of the table name:
DECLARE #R bit;
SELECT #R = COUNT(X.X)
FROM (
SELECT TOP(1) 1 X FROM sys.tables WHERE [name] LIKE #TablePrefix + '%'
) AS X;
RETURN #R;
My question is, how can I extend this function to work for #temp tables too?
I have tried checking the first char of the name for # then using the same logic to select from tempdb.sys.tables, but this seems to have a fatal flaw - it returns a positive result when any temp table exists with a matching name, even if not created by the current session - and even if created by SPs in a different database. There does not seem to be any straightforward way to narrow the selection down to only those temp tables that exist in the context of the current session.
I cannot use the other method that seems universally to be suggested for checking temp tables - IF OBJECT('tempdb..#temp1') IS NOT NULL - because that requires me to know the full name of the table, not just a prefix.
create table #abc(id bit);
create table #abc_(id bit);
create table #def__(id bit);
create table #xyz___________(id bit);
go
select distinct (left(t.name, n.r)) as tblname
from tempdb.sys.tables as t with(nolock)
cross join (select top(116) row_number() over(order by(select null)) as r from sys.all_objects with(nolock)) as n
where t.name like '#%'
and object_id('tempdb..'+left(t.name, n.r)) is not null;
drop table #abc;
drop table #abc_;
drop table #def__;
drop table #xyz___________;
Try something like this:
DECLARE #TablePrefix VARCHAR(50) = '#temp';
DECLARE #R BIT, #pre VARCHAR(50) = #TablePrefix + '%';
SELECT #R = CASE LEFT ( #pre, 1 )
WHEN '#' THEN (
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM tempdb.sys.tables WHERE [name] LIKE #pre ) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END )
ELSE (
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE [name] LIKE #pre ) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END )
END;
SELECT #R AS TableExists;
I am trying to convert a sql if exists statement into a SSRS valid format to run a report on CRM.
CRM report doesn't accept the report on upload if I have a if exists method, I'm having troubles figuring out what I can use in its place.
IF EXISTS(select * from dbo.FC where dbo.FC.ContactID in (select dbo.AV.so_contactid from dbo.AV))
begin
select [STATEMENT 1]
from dbo.AV CRMAF_so_AV join
dbo.FC c
on CRMAF_so_AV.so_contactid = c.ContactID;
end
else
begin
select [STATEMENT 2]
from dbo.AV CRMAF_so_AV join
dbo.FA c
on CRMAF_so_AV.so_contactid = c.AccountID;
end;
I want to be able to either run the select [STATEMENT 1] if the condition is true else I want to run select [STATEMENT 2]
I have managed to get this to work by doing a LEFT JOIN instead of a JOIN.
select [STATEMENT 1 + 2 all columns needed]
from dbo.AV CRMAF_so_AV
left join dbo.FC c on CRMAF_so_AV.so_contactid = c.ContactID;
left join dbo.FA a on CRMAF_so_AV.so_contactid = a.AccountID;
This now runs if its an account or a contact.
Try this -
You have to put your entire statement in #select1 and #select1.
declare #statement1 as varchar(max);
declare #statement2 as varchar(max);
SET #statement1 = 'SELECT 1'
SET #statement2 = 'SELECT 2'
IF EXISTS(select * from dbo.FC where dbo.FC.ContactID in (select dbo.AV.so_contactid from dbo.AV))
BEGIN
EXEC (#statement1)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
EXEC (#statement2)
END
Instead of using if exists can you not get a count of records that meet the criteria and then if its 1 or greater run a different query as apposed to if it was equal to 0.
let me know if I am missing something what you are trying to achieve.
sorry i am unable to put comments due to having a new account so my reputation is low.
I think you need something like this:
WITH PreSelection AS (
SELECT
AV.ID AS AVID,
(SELECT TOP(1) c.ContactID FROM dbo.FC c WHERE c.ContactID = AV.so_contactid) AS ContactID,
(SELECT TOP(1) c.ContactID FROM dbo.FA c WHERE c.AccountID = AV.so_contactid) AS AccountID
FROM dbo.AV
)
SELECT
AVID,
ISNULL(
CASE WHEN ContactID IS NULL
THEN (SELECT TOP(1) AccountName FROM dbo.FA WHERE FA.AccountID = AccountID)
ELSE (SELECT TOP(1) LTRIM(RTRIM(ISNULL(FirstName, '') + ' ' + ISNULL(LastName, ''))) FROM dbo.FC WHERE FC.ContactID = ContactID)
END, '') AS ContactName
FROM PreSelection
A few things to note:
When SSRS evaluates query it expects the resluts to always have the same structure in terms of column names and types.
So you CANNOT do something like this..
IF #x=#y
BEGIN
SELECT Name, Age FROM employees
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT DeptID, DeptName, DeptEMpCOunt FROM departments
END
... as this will return different types and column names and column counts.
What you CAN DO is this..
DECLARE #t TABLE(resultType int, colA varchar(128), colB int, colC varchar(128), colD int)
IF #x=#y
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #t(resultType, colA, ColB)
SELECT 1 as resultType, Name, Age FROM employees
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #t(resultType, colB, colC, colD)
SELECT 2 AS resultType, DeptID, DeptName, DeptEmpCount FROM departments
END
SELECT * FROM #t
Al we are doing is creating a table that can handle all variations of the data and putting the results into whatever columns can accommodate that data type.
This will always return the same data structure so SSRS will be happy, then you will need to handle which columns to display your data from based on what gets returned, hence why I added the result type to the results so you can test that from within the report.
I have a table TBL_TEST which has a column NAME with 5 rows, and those rows have the values 'Balkhab', 'Gosfandi', 'Sancharak', 'Aqcha'
I want to write a query with a WHERE clause that when the value in where class match with one of the values in NAME column in TBL_TEST then it should show only that value but when it does not match then it should show all the values in the table, below is select statement that is not working as expect.
SELECT NAME
FROM TBL_TEST
WHERE NAME = 'Balkhab' OR NAME != 'Balkhab'
I suspect you want something like this:
SELECT NAME
FROM TBL_TEST
WHERE NAME = 'Balkhab'
UNION ALL
SELECT NAME
FROM TBL_TEST
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TBL_TEST WHERE NAME = 'Balkhab');
IF Exists(select 'X' FROM TBL_TEST WHERE NAME = 'Balkhab')
SELECT NAME from TBL_TEST WHERE NAME = 'Balkhab'
ELSE
SELECT NAME FROM TBL_TEST
You can try this one below
select *
from table where not exists (select name from table where name = 'Aqcha') or
name ='Aqcha'
You can write a stored procedure for it with one parameter.
Create procedure(#Name varchar(max))
As
begin
If(Isnull(#name, 0))
Begin
If exists (select 1 from TBL_TEST xx where xx.name = #name)
Begin
Select *
From TBL_TEST
Where name = #name
End
Else
Begin
Select *
From TBL_TEST
End
End
Else
Begin
Select * from TBL_TEST
End
End
Pass your name as parameter to the stored procedure to get require result
stored procedure are the best option as you can avoid network traffic, less bandwidth as you can pass only require parameter and get required result
I have a table tbl_Country, which contains columns called ID and Name. The Name column has multiple country names separated by comma, I want the id when I pass multiple country names to compare with Name column values. I am splitting the country names using a function - the sample query looks like this:
#country varchar(50)
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Country
WHERE (SELECT *
FROM Function(#Country)) IN (SELECT *
FROM Function(Name))
tbl_country
ID Name
1 'IN,US,UK,SL,NZ'
2 'IN,PK,SA'
3 'CH,JP'
parameter #country ='IN,SA'
i have to get
ID
1
2
NOTE: The Function will split the string into a datatable
Try this
SELECT * FROM tbl_Country C
LEFT JOIN tbl_Country C1 ON C1.Name=C.Country
Try this:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Country C
WHERE ',' + #country + ',' LIKE '%,' + C.Name + ',%';
Basically, by specifying multiple values in a single column, you are violating the 1st NF. Therefore, the following might not be a good approach but provides the solution that you are looking for:
declare #country varchar(50)= 'IN,SA'
declare #counterend int
declare #counterstart int =1
declare #singleCountry varchar(10)
set #counterend = (select COUNT(*) from fnSplitStringList(#country))
create table #temp10(
id int
,name varchar(50))
while #counterstart<= #counterend
begin
;with cte as (
select stringliteral country
, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by stringliteral) countryseq
from fnSplitStringList(#country))
select #singleCountry = (select country FROM cte where countryseq=#counterstart)
insert into #temp10(id, name)
select * from tbl_country t1
where not exists (select id from #temp10 t2 where t1.id=t2.id)
and name like '%' + #singleCountry +'%'
set #counterstart= #counterstart+1
end
select * from #temp10
begin drop table #temp10 end
How it works: It splits the passed string and ranks it. Afterwards, it loops through all the records for every single Value(country) produced and inserts them into temptable.
try this,
select a.id FROM tbl_Country a inner join
(SELECT country FROM dbo.Function(#Country)) b on a.name=b.country
