I have one table bbc(country, region, area, population, gdp).
I want to select the regions with a total population of at least 100 million. How can I do it with SQL?
Is it possible to deceive SQL Server to return a different date on GetDate() without actually changing the machine date?
This would be great, since we have a database with old data and I'm trying to test some queries that use getdate().
I can change my machine date but that brings some other problems with other applications...
Any tips?
Thanks!
What tool for managing Oracle DB do you suggest? I need to execute scripts and manage data in tables and develop some scripts and packages. I'v tried SQL developer and actually don't like it. Want some more features for developing (debug, code assist, integrated help and so on.)
I have the following table :
alertID inspectorID datelive dateread
1 none 2012-11-06 10:36:03.350 NULL
2 none 2012-11-06 10:36:25.043 NULL
3 none 2012-11-06 10:36:42.433 NULL
1 31030 2012-11-06 10:37:19.193 2012-06-11 10:34:47.000
I want to select the alerts that dont have the inspectors ID against it AND where the alert ID doenst match the one that has the inspectorID against it, ie inspector has read alert 1 so i only want it to return alerts 2 & 3
Am using Classic ASP and MS-SQL
Cheers
In what cases would a call to java.sql.ResultSetMetaData.isSearchable(int col) return false for an Oracle database? The documentation for the method doesn't really answer the question:
"Indicates whether the designated column can be used in a where clause."
I can think of only one case - when the column is the result of an aggregate function (in which case it would have to be part of a HAVING filter, not a WHERE filter).
Are there any other cases?
Before going into production, our client demands actual numbers of how many users our web application can handle.
We have all kinds of features implemented including asset management (file uploads/downloads), documents import/export, various statistics, web-services etc.
Which tool (or set of tools) could do this?

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'.
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?
i have 2 tables in access
this is what i need:
1. if the PK from table1 exists in table2, then delete the entire record with that PK from table2 and add the entire record from table1 into table2
2. if the PK does not exist then add the record
i need help with both the sql statement and the VBA
i guess the VBA should be a loop, going through every record in table1. inside the loop i should have the select statement
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,
Alex
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
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
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.
I tried session.createSQLQuery("ALTER TABLE People MODIFY address VARCHAR(1000);").executeUpdate();
but this throws org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute native bulk manipulation query
After a lot of googling, the recommendation is to use HQL instead of SQL query to do bulk updates. Not sure how to use HQL to accomplish this. There seems to be no decent HQL documentation for updating column length in a table.
Thanks so much for the help.
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!
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.
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 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.
When do I execute query COPY TO ... CSV, I create CSV file. BUt when open it column with names in excel that should be with national characters are not as it should be. So my question is, If it is possible within a sql query to change this encoding to utf8? Or something else? Because I want that new created CSV file to be as final product for user on web. I hope someone understood what I want:)
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?
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?
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
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.
Christian
Lets say there is some code that executes the following SQL query:
set rowcount n
But n is unknown. Is there any way to know what n was? I'm using Sybase.
