ello everyone,
I'm still quite new ASP.net, Visual Web Developer 2008, and SQL. It has been a fun
learning experience so far. Anyways, the site I am designing needs to allow its users to
extensively search several different databases (S SQL databases). I have followed
many of the tutorials and have found it rather easy to add table adapters, gridviews an
other data features that use basic SQL Select statements. One of the major database
tables contains several columns which I would like to include as a search parameters
from a drop down list. I was wondering if there is any way I can write a select which w
pass a variable to be used as a column name to the statement? For example:
SELECT DATE, GAE, EXACT, @COLNAEFRO istoryWERE @COLNAE =
@SOEVARIABLE
This obviously doesnt work, but thats the gist of what I want to do. Any suggestions? I
need this to be simple as possible, ost everything I'm doing is done through the visua
design mode. Im still slow to learn C# and apply it in the codebehind files unless I have
very detailed step by step instuctions.
Thanks
Scott

Restarting The Identity Column n Table 'ariable
In a cursor, I declare a table variable like so:
DECLARE @TempTable TABLE(RowID INT IDENTITY, valueID int)
I then insert into that table from another table. The purpose is to get a list that looks l
this after the insert:
RowID valueID1 348972 345223 94822
etc....
owever, the next time through my loop (cursor) I want to restart my RowID identity
property, because the next batch of valueID's should then again have a RowID starting
from 1.
I tried
delete from @TempTable DBCC CECKIDENT(@TempTable , RESEED, 0)
but I get 'ust declare the variable @TempTable table' error.
Is there a way to destroy and recreate that @TempTable variable?

!roblem Referencing A Column In A Table 'ariable In A Query.
ello All

I have the following problem running an sp with a table variable (sql server 2000) - th
error which occurs at the end of the query is: "must declare the variable @Teader" .
@Teader is the name of the variable table and the error occurs with such references a
@Teader.ApplyAmt, @Teader.TransactioneaderID, etc.

declare @Teader TABLE (
TransactioneaderID [int] NOT N&LL ,
PatientID [int] NOT N&LL ,
TransactionAllocationAmount [money] NOT N&LL ,
ApplyAmt [money] N&LL ) - create table variable

insert into @Teader select
TransactioneaderID,PatientID,TransactionAllocationAmount,ApplyAmt from
mtblTransactioneader where PatientID = 9 - fill the table variable

&PDATE @Teader
set TransactionAllocationAmount =
(SELECT isnull(Sum(mtblTransactionAllocation.Amount),0)
FRO mtblTransactionAllocation where mtblTransactionAllocation.DRID =
TransactioneaderID or
mtblTransactionAllocation.CRID = TransactioneaderID) from @Teader,
mtblTransactionAllocation - do the updates on the table variable

&pdate @Teader
set ApplyAmt = (SELECT mtblTransactionAllocation.Amount
FRO mtblTransactionAllocation where mtblTransactionAllocation.DRID =
TransactioneaderID and
mtblTransactionAllocation.CRID = 187 and PatientID = 9) from @Teader,
mtblTransactionAllocation - do the updates on the table variable

- below is where the problems occur. It occurs with statements referencing columns in
the table variable, i.e. @Teader.ApplyAmt

&PDATE mtblTransactioneader
SET mtblTransactioneader.TransactionAllocationAmount =
@Teader.TransactionAllocationAmount,
mtblTransactioneader.ApplyAmt = @Teader.ApplyAmt
FRO @Teader, mtblTransactioneader
WERE @Teader.TransactioneaderID =
mtblTransactioneader.TransactioneaderID - put the values back into original table

Random Selection From Table 'ariable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which
will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Ty
columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I don
really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work wi
millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that
constitute these columns so that they are randomized?

SET NOCO&NT ON

Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000

Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT N&LL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT N&LL)
Declare @&sers table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT N&LL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)

Set @Counter = 0

while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end

Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' &NION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' &NION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' &NION ALL

ow To Create Key Time Column And Key Column For A Case Table And A Nested Table For
Time Series Algorithm?
i, all experts here,

Thanks for your kind attention.

I want to use time series algorithm to mine data from my case table and nested table.
Case table is Date table, while nested table is the fact table. E.g, I want to predict the
monthly sales amount for different region (I have region table related to the fact table)
how can I achieve this?

Thanks a lot and I hope it is clear for your help and I am looking forward to hearing fro
you shortly.

With best regards,

Questions n Key Column In Case Table And Key Time Column In Nested Table &sing Time Serie
Algorithm
i, all experts here,

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

I am confused on key column of case table and key time column of nested table by usi
Time Series algorithm.

In my case, the case table structure is as below:

Territory key text (the ID is actually dimrisk_key, in this case, I use the name column
binding to combine the Territory column of case table Dimrisks),

While the nested table structure is as below:

Cal_month key time (in this case, actually the ID is dimdate_key, again, I used name
column bining property to bind the Cal_month to the ID)

So my question is, as the key column of case table has been set to be Territory, as a
result, does the model training still cover all the cases (rows) based on the ID of the
table?

Also, in the nested table, as the key time column has been set to Cal_month rather tha
Dimdate_key of the nested table, as a result, would the single series based on the
cal_month?

ope it is clear for your advices and help.

And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Column As 'ariable
I have a problem that I'm sure is very simple to answer for anyone that knows a bit of
SQL. In a stored procedure, I simply want to concatenate a string variable containing a
column name into a Select statement.

For example:
I want to execute the following statement but using a variable for the column name:

Select * from tblmet1araw where JulianDay = 1

JulianDay is an integer
This is how I have my code set up:

declare @xxx as varchar(20)
set @theday = 'JulianDay'

select * from tblmet1araw where @theday = 1

I get the following error:
Server: sg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Syntax error converting the varchar value 'JulianDay' to a column of data type int.

Column Name As 'ariable
&sing a stored Procedure, I want to select a record from a Table if a certain string
appears in a specified column, so I use

CREATE PROCED&RE spSearcher
@String varChar(20)
as
Select Column1, Column2, Column3 from Table1
where Charindex(@String1,Column1) > 0

which works fine.
But the following doesn't work:

CREATE PROCED&RE spSearcher
@String varChar(20)
@ColumnName VarChar(20)
as
Select Column1, Column2, Column3 from Table1
where Charindex(@String,@ColumnName) > 0

ow can I substitute a variable for Column1, so I can pass the name Column1 or
Column2, or Column3, as desired?

Thanks in anticipation,

Peter Caspersonn.

Greetings,

I have a table that contains various columns in it totalling 12,000 rows of data. For
example;

site_ref, account_title, gl_code, period1, period2, period3 etc through to period12

I wish to write a query that will allow me to search for specific site_ref, acount_title etc
and then only one of the period columns. This period column will be specified by the us
at the time of submitting the query through reporting services. ow do I assign a colum
to a variable so that the user can set it in the report parameters and then the code will
run against that specific column for the period?

Example would be to see everything for site_ref = 'tb', account_title = 'gross rent' and
the financial figures within the column titled 'period10' or the next time they run the
report they may wish to run it against the values in period7.

Any pointers would be appreciated

I am trying to use a variable to designate a Column Name in an insertRow statement.
I have 12 'onth' Columns ie ar, April,ay etc, in a table named 'Display' and want to
select one with a variable to which I will add a value and 'Add the Row' to the table.
ere is the code I have:

Private Sub InsertDisplayRow()

Convertth()

Dim newRow As BudgetDataSet.DisplayRow = e.BudgetDataSet.Display.NewRow()

Dim i As Integer

Dim x As Integer

For i = 1 To 3

newRow.Item = strWhcItem

For x = 1 To 12

If strStoreonths(i) = int(x) Then

newRow.int(x)= intDebit

End If

Next x
Next i

e.BudgetDataSet.Display.Rows.Add(newRow)
End Sub

int(x) contains the 12 month headings.
I get the message "int(x) not a member of Data set etc,"
I could do a work around with 'if - then' or Select Case but why can't the variable int(
be made to work?

The code fails to update the table, yet if I replace @abc with 'W9501' the

Why?

I have assigned the name of columns to a variable (@colum_name):

Column Name As 'ariable In Trigger
I am writing an audit trail trigger that needs to query columns, but the specific column

Once I know the changed column(s) I fetch the column name. No sweat.
The problem is using a variable in place of a column name I can not get the data to
return, only the column name.

-- ere is how I get the column name. It works great, @CName
-- reflects the column name as I use it elsewhere fine.
Select @CName = col_name(OBJECT_ID('TABContract'), @CNum)

-- This simple syntax usually works, it does not using a
-- variable as the column name. @Prev is populated with
-- @CName literally. I have tried various and asundry ()'s and []'s
Select @Prev = @CName From Deleted

-- ere I have hard coded the Column name and ran a test modifying that column
"Comment" and it works! @Prev is populated with the columns data not the Column
name.
Select @Prev = Comment From Deleted

-- Tried these syntaxes, no luck
Select @Prev = (Select @CName From Deleted)
Select @Prev = (Select col_name(OBJECT_ID('TABContract'), @CNum) From Deleted)

I am migrating all my DTSs to SSISs. One of them is a very basic DTS, that copies data

Can any one advise me on the best way to accomplish this in the SSIS?

According to S, you cannot use FOR XL in a subselect, or fill a TEXT variable with th
results of such (which, IO really diminishes the usefulness).

I want to stream out the results of one entire row and store that in ONE column of an
audit table. XL seems like the easiest way if not for this limitation.

A better way?

Thanks.

'ariable As Column In Cursor Select
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name
the select statement. For example:

declare @col varchar(50)

set @col = 'Temperature'

declare notifycurs cursor scroll for
select @col from Table

Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instea
of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement
with an EXEC
(ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' )
but that gave me an error.

Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

!assing A Column/field Name As A 'ariable?
Is it possible to use a table's fieldname as an SQL variable?

i.e. can the below be made to somehow work:

Code:

SELECT Firstname, Surname, myVariable
FRO ContactDetails
WERE myVariable = [user input];

- or simply -

Code:

SELECT Firstname, Surname, [user input]
FRO ContactDetails;

---
The "user input" being any other chosen column/fieldname from the ContactDetails tab
(e.g. Street, City, Postcode, etc.).

i'm using Access and ASP - in case that makes a difference.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

ow Do I &se A 'ariable To Specify The Column Name In A Select Statement?
ow do I use a variable to specify the column name in a select statement?

declare @columnName <type>

set @columnName='ID'

select @columnName from Table1

ow To Assign !revios Column 'alue To A 'ariable

Greeting.
I have a dataset (ORDER BY Column1) like the following in the data flow task pipeline

Column1 Column2

1 A
1 B
2 C
2 F
3 T
3 R
3 X
4

I only need data of 1, A;

2, C;

3, T
4,
That is when Column1 value changes. I think we can store the column1 value in a
variable as a previous row value. Then I can compare the variable value with the curre
row value and see if the column1 value changes. Can anyone please help me how to
implement this? Or if there is other way to implement it

.
Thanks.

TSQL - &sing ALTR TABL - ALTR CL&N To odify Column Type / Set Identity Column

I have never used PIVOT before but looks exactly what I want for this scenario:
I have rows of dates associated with ID of otels and Room avalability for each

something like this:SELECT dbotelID ,[09/20/2007]as [Today],[09/21/2007]as
[Today+1],[09/22/2007]as [Today+2] FRO vwRoomAvailable PIVOT
(S&(dbRoomNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([09/20/2007], [09/21/2007],
[09/22/2007])) AS pAs you can see I know how may days I want in advance so know
how many columsn so its not dynamic.. I just dont know what the dates are:I would lik
to do something like:
DECLARE @todayDate varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusOne varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusTwo varchar(255) SET @todayDate = CONVERT(CAR,
GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusOne = CONVERT(CAR, DATEADD(d, 1,
GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusTwo = CONVERT(CAR, DATEADD(d, 2,
GETDATE(),101) SELECT dbotelID,@todayDate as Today,@todayPlusOne as

(S&(dbotelRoomAvailabilityNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([@todayDate],

In a stored proc, can you declare a local variable that is an existing column in a table &
then based on other criteria, do an order by using the local variable?
