I want to display all data from my table except first three colunms. Is there any way to use "select * " query to see all colunms except first three? I'll greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

You can do it in front-end programming languages really easily (in .NET you would iterate through the relevent columns returned in a DataReader).

It is really difficult to do within the database - you would have to dynamically construct a select statement based upon the table's column meta data Dead | X|

. Generally, doing "select * from xxxx" or doing an insert without explicitely specifying each column is considered to be bad practice for production code.

Create a view on the table ignoring or selecting only those columns required

then use "SELECT *" on the query

For SQL-Server it would be something like:

select * from Employee
where datepart(dy, BirthDate) between datepart(dy, GetDate()) and datepart(dy, GetDate()) + 14
or 365 + datepart(dy, BirthDate) between datepart(dy, GetDate()) and datepart(dy, GetDate()) + 14

The "or" condition traps the situation where today is in the last couple of weeks of December and the employee's birthday falls at the start of January. You might need to play with the boundary conditions (i.e. the "365" and "14" constants).

You could do this by selecting all records where the dateofbirth was between getdate() and dateadd(dd, getdate(), 14).

Thank you for ur reply..
I think, there is some logic problem in ur reply.
Means
"where the dateofbirth was between getdate() and dateadd(dd, getdate(), 14)"

Suppose an employe 'Sanker' whose DOB is "29/july/1982"

According ur reply,in select query the getdate value is 27/July/2007 and add 14 to it will return 10/aug/2007

do you think employee 'Sanker' will select from ur query??

I got the solution..

i fell this is very simple one..

select EmployeeID,EmployeeName
from
TblEmployeeMaster
where
datediff
(
dd
,convert(datetime,'1900/'+cast(month(getdate()) as varchar)+'/'+cast (day(getdate()) as varchar),111)
,convert(datetime,'1900/'+cast(month(DateOfBirth) as varchar)+'/'+cast (day(DateOfBirth) as varchar),111)
) between 0 and 14

Problem with calling Scalar Function

Hi there,

I have problem with caling my T-SQL scalar function.

SET ANSI_NULLS ON<br />
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON<br />
GO<br />
<br />
-- =============================================<br />
-- Author:		<Author,,Name><br />
-- Create date: <Create Date, ,><br />
-- Description:	<Description, ,><br />
-- =============================================<br />
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.func(@param int)<br />
RETURNS bit<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
	DECLARE @ret bit;<br />
<br />
	IF EXISTS (SELECT id FROM [dbo].myTmpTab WHERE id=@param)<br />
		BEGIN<br />
			set @ret=1;<br />
		END<br />
	ELSE<br />
		BEGIN<br />
			set @ret=0;<br />
		END<br />
	RETURN @ret;<br />
END<br />
GO

I want to call it in C# code, but i cant it even call in MSSQL Server Mamagment Studio (SELECT myTmpDB.dbo.func(1)) and i get this msg:

Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Line 1<br />
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.

Is there any1 who know how to solve it? Im quite sure it would work on Sybase as i have done smthin similar about year ago Smile | :)

Seems to work with SQL-Server 2000 (after I changed the table name to one of mine). Could "func" be a reserved word under 2005?

names of tabels and function are changed so thats not an issue. Maybe its caused by the fact DB is on MSSQL 2000 Server? Ill do some research this weekend.

earlier some time back (in may/jun) i've given this solution for getting nth max value. try the same must work for you

DECLARE @nth as bigint
SET @nth = 10

SELECT * FROM TblA AS a WHERE @nth = (SELECT COUNT(ColA) FROM
TblB AS b WHERE b.ColA >= a.ColA)

@nth is the variable to hold the 1 for getting 1st max, 2 for 2nd max, .....
