  • count(*) vs count(column-name) - which is more correct?

    - by bread
    Does it make a difference if you do count(*) vs count(column-name) as in these two examples? I have a tendency to always write count(*) because it seems to fit better in my mind with the notion of it being an aggregate function, if that makes sense. But I'm not sure if it's technically best as I tend to see example code written without the * more often than not. count(*): select customerid, count(*), sum(price) from items_ordered group by customerid having count(*) > 1; vs. count(column-name): SELECT customerid, count(customerid), sum(price) FROM items_ordered GROUP BY customerid HAVING count(customerid) > 1;

  • T-SQL Self Join in combination with aggregate function

    - by Nick
    Hi, i have the following table. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tree]( [AutoID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Category] [varchar](10) NULL, [Condition] [varchar](10) NULL, [Description] [varchar](50) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Tree] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [AutoID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO the data looks like this: INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Tree] ([Category] ,[Condition] ,[Description]) VALUES ('1','Alpha','Type 1') INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Tree] ([Category] ,[Condition] ,[Description]) VALUES ('1','Alpha','Type 1') INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Tree] ([Category] ,[Condition] ,[Description]) VALUES ('2','Alpha','Type 2') INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Tree] ([Category] ,[Condition] ,[Description]) VALUES ('2','Alpha','Type 2') go I try now to do the following: SELECT Category,COUNT(*) as CategoryCount FROM Tree where Condition = 'Alpha' group by Category but i wish also to get the Description for each Element. I tried several subqueries, self joins etc. i always come to the problem that the subquery cannot return more than one record. The problem is caused by a poor database design which i cannot change and i run out of ideas to get this done in a single query ;-(

  • check if sqlserver is installed on a machine thro C#

    - by Skun
    Hey ! I am making an application which is a user interface to access 2 types of databases - SQLite and MSSQL server. The thing is, SQLite doesnt need to be "installed" since its just a flatfile database, but on the other hand, SQLserver (Express/normal) need to be installed before use. My Question is simple: Is there a way by which i can find out if an instance of SQLserver has been installed on the local machine by using a C# program?

  • Query - Trying to SUM one field based on content of another field

    - by ShaneL
    Table: DayOfWeek Enrollments Monday 35 Monday 12 Saturday 25 Tuesday 15 Monday 9 Tuesday 15 Basically I'm trying to sum the total enrolments for each day. so the Output will look like: DayOfWeek Enrollments Monday 56 Saturday 25 Tuesday 30 I've spent around 4 hours trying to work this out trying many many different ways but no luck. The problem I'm having is i can count how many enrollments for each day but can't have it aligned with the correct day when i run the query e.g. I want The total to be on the same line as the day it was calculated from. (I hope that is clear enough)

  • How can I find all records for a model without doing a long list of "OR" conditions?

    - by gomezuk
    I'm having trouble composing a CakePHP find() which returns the records I'm looking for. My associations go like this: User -(has many)- Friends , User -(has many)- Posts I'm trying to display a list of all a user's friends recent posts, in other words, list every post that was created by a friend of the current user logged in. The only way I can think of doing this is by putting all the user's friends' user_ids in a big array, and then looping through each one, so that the find() call would look something like: $posts = $this->Post->find('all',array( 'conditions' => array( 'Post.user_id' => array( 'OR' => array( $user_id_array[0],$user_id_array[1],$user_id_array[2] # .. etc ) ) ) )); I get the impression this isn't the best way of doing things as if that user is popular that's a lot of OR conditions. Can anyone suggest a better alternative?

  • Can I Select and Update at the same time?

    - by Ed Manet
    This is an over-simplified explanation of what I'm working on. I have a table with status column. Multiple instances of the application will pull the contents of the first row with a status of NEW, update the status to WORKING and then go to work on the contents. It's easy enough to do this with two database calls; first the SELECT then the UPDATE. But I want to do it all in one call so that another instance of the application doesn't pull the same row. Sort of like a SELECT_AND_UPDATE thing. Is a stored procedure the best way to go?

  • SQL Server Reporting Services using of pictures with dynamic links

    - by YvesR
    I have setup a SSRS 2008 and building reports. So far so good. Now there is a picture control in SSRS where you can set the picture as external link reference. There you can choose to use a link. When I use a weblink (http://anyurl/download_picture.aspx?id=123) it dont' work for me. Calling the url in the web browser (all tested IE, Safari, Chrome, FF) the pictures is delivered, Header is ok, content type, too. Does it work in general in SSRS ? Or do I have to copy the picture to a temp folder and link the url like http://anyurl/mypicture.jpg.

  • is it possible to combine will_paginate with find_by_sql?

    - by Tam
    In my rails application I want to use will_paginate plugin to paginate on my query. Is that possible? I tried doing something like this but it didn't work: @users = User.find_by_sql(" SELECT u.id, u.first_name, u.last_name, CASE WHEN r.user_accepted =1 AND (r.friend_accepted =0 || r.friend_accepted IS NULL) .........").paginate( :page => @page, :per_page => @per_page, :conditions => conditions_hash, :order => 'first_name ASC') If not, can you recommend a way around this or a way that might work as I don't want to write my own pagination.

  • Determining child count of path

    - by sqlnewbie
    I have a table whose 'path' column has values and I would like to update the table's 'child_count' column so that I get the following output. path | child_count --------+------------- | 5 /a | 3 /a/a | 0 /a/b | 1 /a/b/c | 0 /b | 0 My present solution - which is way too inefficient - uses a stored procedure as follows: CREATE FUNCTION child_count() RETURNS VOID AS $$ DECLARE parent VARCHAR; BEGIN FOR parent IN SELECT path FROM my_table LOOP DECLARE tokens VARCHAR[] := REGEXP_SPLIT_TO_ARRAY(parent, '/'); str VARCHAR := ''; BEGIN FOR i IN 2..ARRAY_LENGTH(tokens, 1) LOOP UPDATE my_table SET child_count = child_count + 1 WHERE path = str; str := str || '/' || tokens[i]; END LOOP; END; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; Anyone knows of a single UPDATE statement that does the same thing?

  • Want to check fields for data fast.

    - by Tom
    We have a database setup that consists of two parts: a static structure, and dynamic additions. For each database, the dynamic can be different, and sometimes we don't have data for all the dynamic fields. Rigt now, we check for empties by looking at the total count of records in the entire table, but we want to move to a more refined method of checking for empties if possible. Is it possible to quickly check through several hundred fields and see which ones are empty and which ones are populated?

  • How do I execute a sql statement through a variable (dyname sql) that tries to do an insert into a variable table?

    - by Testifier
    If I do what I wanna do with a TEMPORARY TABLE, it works fine: DECLARE @CTRFR VARCHAR(MAX) SET @CTRFR = 'select blah blah blah' -- <-- very long select statement. this returns a 0 or some greater number. Please note! --> I NEED THIS NUMBER. IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo][#CTRFRResult]') AND type IN ( N'U' ) ) DROP TABLE [dbo].[#CTRFRResult] CREATE TABLE #CTRFRResult ( CTRFRResult VARCHAR(MAX) ) SET @CTRFR = 'insert into #CTRFRResult ' + @CTRFR EXEC(@CTRFR) The above works fine. The problem is that several databases are using the same TEMP table. Therefore I need to use a VARIABLE table (instead of a temporary table). What I have below is not working because it says that the table must be declared. DECLARE @CTRFRResult TABLE ( CTRFRResult VARCHAR(MAX) ) SET @CTRFR = 'insert into @CTRFRResult ' + @CTRFR -- I think the issue is here. EXEC(@CTRFR) Setting @CTRFR to 'insert into...' is not working because I'm assuming the table name is out of scope. How would I go about mimicking the temporary table code using a variable table?

  • it is possible to "group by" without losing the original rows?

    - by toPeerOrNotToPeer
    i have a query like this: ID | name | commentsCount 1 | mysql for dummies | 33 2 | mysql beginners guide | 22 SELECT ..., commentsCount // will return 33 for first row, 22 for second one FROM mycontents WHERE name LIKE "%mysql%" also i want to know the total of comments, of all rows: SELECT ..., SUM(commentsCount) AS commentsCountAggregate // should return 55 FROM mycontents WHERE name LIKE "%mysql%" but this one obviously returns a single row with the total. now i want to merge these two queries in one single only, because my actual query is very heavy to execute (it uses boolean full text search, substring offset search, and sadly lot more), then i don't want to execute it twice is there a way to get the total of comments without making the SELECT twice? !! custom functions are welcome !! also variable usage is welcome, i never used them...

  • Best practice for avoiding locks on a heavily read table?

    - by Luiggi
    Hi, I have a big database (~4GB), with 2 large tables (~3M records) having ~180K SELECTs/hour, ~2k UPDATEs/hour and ~1k INSERTs+DELETEs/hour. What would be the best practice to guarantee no locks for the reading tasks while inserting/updating/deleting? I was thinking about using a NOLOCK hint, but there is so much discussed about this (is good, is bad, it depends) that I'm a bit lost. I must say I've tried this in a dev environment and I didn't find any problems, but I don't want to put it on production until I get some feedback... Thank you! Luiggi
