Can someone point me towards a resource or show me an example of a good way of writing sql statements in php.
Most statements seem so ugly and unreadable.
I have a table Course and every Course has many Resources.
Course
==========
course_id
Resource
==========
course_id
number
I want something like a seperate autoincrement for each course_id. Or, in other words, I want to auto-enumerate the resources for a given course. For example, the resource table could look something like:
course_id | number
==================
1 | 1
1 | 2
2 | 1
1 | 3
1 | 4
2 | 2
2 | 3
and so on.
I want to do this in SQL, using IBM DB2.
Hi,
I got used to the xml support and recursive common table expressions of sql server 2005. I am just wondering whether any free dbs like mysql support these requirements nowadays? Thanks.

Can I have a SQL query to get the data from columna in tableA whose values don't start with 'f' ?
For example:
select * from tableA where columnA
where values don't start with letter 'F'.
I am going to generate XML file based on the data returned from SQL Server, but there are some special characters like  and  (there may be other characters like these), which will fail the XML.
Is there any way to escape them?
Thanks!

Here's the situation. I have a bunch of objects that implement Serializable that I want to store in a SQL database. I have two questions
Is there a way to serialize the object directly into the database
Is that the best way to do it or should I
Write the object out to a formatting String and put it in the database that way and then parse it back out
Write each member to the database with a field that is unique to each object
I have a SSIS package that I plan to deploy on my SQL Server 2008 machine.
I need to call this SSIS package remotely and synchronously from .NET. Obviously I need to pass parameters to this package as well.
How could I do that?
Thanks,

Hi,
this SQL clause is working OK:
SELECT * FROM `sf_guard_user` WHERE nombre_apellidos LIKE REPLACE('Mar Sanz',' ','%')
Now I'm trying to write this query for Doctrine. I have tried this:
$query->andWhere(sprintf('%s.%s LIKE REPLACE (?," ","%")',
$query->getRootAlias(), $fieldName),
'Mar Sanz'));
but I get this error:
Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments
Any idea?

Hello all,
I am just reading this article and I came across this:
Filter: Remove any functions in the
WHERE clause, don't include views in
your Transact-SQL code, may need
additional indexes.
If I do not use views, what are the alternatives? I mean, in my situation, I want to select some data from a table and then use a few other select queries to work on the subset of data from the first select query?
How can I do this efficiently?
Thanks all
Hi
We've noticed something odd with our Coldfusion 8 client variables DB. We have many more (about 3 times as many) CGlobal entries as we have CData entries.
I would have assumed that the relationship would be 1:1 on the cfid column.
Has any one else noticed this before? I have ruled out old data, my sample is less than 3 hours old. We're using SQL Server 2000 to host the tables.
Thanks in advance,
Ciaran
I'm querying a view and filtering the results with a column named status. I'd like to query it so I can search for rows with different status, by using the IN operator as I'd do in SQL.
As so:
SELECT * FROM VIEW WHERE Status in ('....', '.....')
How can I achieve this?
If I have a Parent and Child table in MySQL related by a foreign key, is it possible using a SQL statement to move certain rows from Parent and the related rows from Child into archive tables (e.g. Parent_Archive and Child_Archive) in an atomic manner?
Hi All,
How can we set permissions for users to only allow them to download SSIS packages from the production server and but deny them permissions to run any package in the Server.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141053(SQL.90).aspx
If i assign users to any of the DB roles db_dtsadmin, db_dtsltduser, and db_dtsoperator they will automatically have permission to run the package.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks!
I'm trying to use a dynamically generated fully-qualified table name in sql server 2008. For example, this does not work:
select max([id]) from @dbName+N'.[T1]'
This will give an error like:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 73
Incorrect syntax near '+'.
I know that something like this works:
declare @qualifiedTable varchar(200) = @dbName+N'.[T1]'
select max([id]) from @qualifiedTable
But I have to do this LOTS of times so I would really like to do it in line. Is it possible?
I have several different tables, but they all have 2 columns that are the same name. I want to write a stored procedure that searches one column in all of the tables and returns the result. Ideas? I'm fairly nub when it comes to SQL.

hi,
i have to create window service which read the xml file and and take the node's value to connect the sql server and create the log file i have already created window application for that but i don't know how to create win services.
I have an application that creates a Sql Server 2008 database. When I create the database, I would also like to create a datasource for SSRS.
How can I do this?
I am making a windows service to be able to run operations on a sql server database (insert, edit, etc) and invoke Stored Procs.
However, is there a way for me to know the type of the SP? When invoking from C#, I need to knof if it is returning 1 value, or more, or none (so I can use executereader, scalar, etc)?
Thanks
Lets say there is some code that executes the following SQL query:

im using this sql query to create an index:
$query = "CREATE INDEX id_index2

is this best practice for automated index updating?
Having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to create a named_scope from this SQL query:
select * from foo where id NOT IN (select foo_id from bar) AND foo.category = ? ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;
Category should be variable to change.
What's the most efficient way the named_scope can be written for the problem above?
An insert statement with a large number of values returns 'Error converting data type varchar to numeric.'
How can I find which value actually triggers the error?
MS SQL Server 2008 is used.
