Hey,
I'm using this database through MS Access with my program and I need to be able to use the LIKE keyword. My forms have specific, formatted field names that are sequential and uniform. Essentially, the first part of every form field name is a part of its subsequential heading.
IE.
I have a 'heading' column in my table, 'paragraphs'. One example of my headings is 'Scope of Services & Workplan/Methodology Overview'.
Now, if I were to use a query searching for that exact name everything works fine. However, I need to use the LIKE clause as follows:
SELECT heading FROM paragraphs WHERE heading LIKE 'Scope%'
This is because the first part of my form fields are the first words of every heading. ie. Scope_1_chbx, Scope_2_chbx, and so on.
My LIKE clause is resulting in the query returning no results....can anyone help me? Thanks.

Your select statement looks okay to me. Perhaps your data is the problem. I've had problems with the LIKE feature because of selecting LIKE 'ABC%' when my data was in lower case, LIKE 'abc%'.
If that is not the case, could you please explain what you are doing further? What do you mean with the Scope_1_chbx, Scope_2_chbx stuff?
Could you give us some actual data from the tables?
Hope this helps.

I actually figured it out...believe it or not, it was because I was using LIKE 'data%' instead of LIKE "data*"
For some reason THAT worked instead...odd, but thanks for your help regardless

You were using an MS Access database? What version?

Hi,
I want to improve the following query's performance executing on sqlce.
select *
from TABLE_A
where field_a in (select field_a
from TABLE_B
where field_b = '0000162080'
and field_c = '2'
and field_d = '011')
order by field_e
Table_A has index for field_a and Table_B has index for field_b and field_c. How can I rewrite the query to execute faster?
thanks,
- ferudun -

I don't use SQL CE, but the principles are generally the same for different database products:
Do you have separate indexes on field_b and field_c? If you do then try using a composite index instead:
create index table_b_idx2 on table_b (field_b, field_c, field_d, field_a)
Also, you may be able to get the query to run faster by changing the "select *" bit so that it just returns the columns that you actually need to use.

Something like this:
SELECT o.ID, s.IDUser, s.Year
FROM MyTable AS o
INNER JOIN (SELECT IDUser, MAX(Year)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY Year) AS s
ON o.IDUser = s.IDUser AND o.Year = s.Year

Ready to Give up - Your help will be much appreciated.

SELECT o.ID, s.IDUser, s.Year

INNER JOIN (SELECT IDUser, MAX(Year)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY IDUser) AS s

select A.CategoryName, B.CustomerId , sum(A.CategoryId) as SumOfCID from Categories A , Customers B
the above query makes the following error
you tried to execute a query that doesn't include the specified expression 'CategoryName' as part of an aggregate function.
i am using vb6 and access

thanks

use GROUP BY clause
select A.CategoryName, B.CustomerId , sum(A.CategoryId) as SumOfCID from Categories A , Customers B GROUP BY A.CategoryName, B.CustomerId
request you to pls check GROUP BY clause usage in SQL (language)
hope you are not aware
Note:
you are fetching data from two table and there is no join specified.

How can i view the size of a record in sql server express 2005? What is the query?
X

You can work out the average size of a record by running:
exec sp_spaceused 'MyTableName'
That gives you the number of rows, and the amount of space taken-up by the data and indexes.

Hai everybody,
I am new to triggers in SQL Server.
Can you please tell me can i combine the insert and update events in the SQL trigger as we do it in Oracle.
If yes, then how can i check it whether it is an inserting or updating event. (In oracle we will use INSERTING or UPDATING or DELETING.)
I am going to update a column with 1 (as it is a bit field) and then i have to perform some steps based on the value and later on again i want to reset the value to 0 in a trigger.
Can i perform this? If yes or no , how can i do it?
