Use the CASE statement to select from a different field based on some criteria. Something like:
SELECT
CASE datepart(dw, date)
WHEN 1 THEN CAST(field1 as varchar)
WHEN 2 THEN CAST(field2 as varchar)
WHEN 3 THEN CAST(field3 as varchar)
etc...
END

I have a parent table Item and a child table Grade. For a query, I would like to be able to select from a view or function that gives me one Item per row (as if I were selecting right from it) but adds an ntext column to the output, where its child Grades are listed in a delimited list. I'm not entirely sure where to go with this, without making it too terribly complicated. Please advise?

Not sure how feasible this is, but will ask in case someone has figured it out:
I have a table of people with people and a unique id and a name (amongst other things of course)
e.g.
uid | uName
I have a separate table that has entries where two of the IDs will get recorded
e.g.
date|signed(bit)|approved (bit)|signerID|approverID
I want to be able to retrieve the uName for signerID and approverID
e.g.
SELECT t2.date,t2.signed,t2.approved,t1.userName as signerName,t1.userName as approverName
JOIN (so that signerName and approverName both get resolved).
WHERE date < _SOMEDATE_
I know I could dump using a insert select on the people table into a temp table and JOIN against that, but wanted to see if anyone had a fancier/more elegant solution than that ...
TIA

Something like:
SELECT Approvals.Date, Approvals.Signed, Approvals.Approved, Signer.uName, Approver.uName
FROM Approvals
INNER JOIN People AS Signer
ON Approvals.SignerID = Signer.uid
INNER JOIN People AS Approver
ON Approvals.ApproverID = Approver.uid

Works great! I've become so fixed on Left Joins lately ... I knew there was a way to do it with a 'looser' join, but couldn't quite nail it down. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm designing a reporting program that is being fed with a pre-defined and pre-filled dataset(passed with constructor to report form).The data set is consist of 2 tables and both of them are needed to display.I maked an exact replica of that dataset with dataset designer and dragging fields to report(Reporting Services Report).But the problem is only the first table of dataset is recognised and whille adding any field of of second one to Details section of report , designer produces something like this:
First(Fields!QTY,"Bill_OrderDetails")
(Bill is the replica Dataset and orderdetails is the second table)
and removing First Function causes compiler complains about not using
an aggergate function in detail section.
How can I use the second Table?

Hi,
I have 2 Tables with each his own columns
but they have both 1 identical column
I want to make a 3th table with the identical columns in
but not twice the same!
For example:
Table 1: ID1,Title,pages
Table 2: ID2,Title,Author
Table 3: ID3,Title (but when my title is the same in table1 and table2 i only want to insert it once)
So i thought,
I insert whole table1 in table3
then with a cursor, run through table2
and if i don't find the value in table3 insert Title from table2 in Table3
Is there another work around?
Thanks,
A.

Are the IDs in tables 1 & 2 the same? If not, what value will you insert into column ID3 in table 3 when you find matching rows?

Insert into table3
(ID3,Title,xxx)
Select ID1,Title,pages from Table1
Union
(Select ID1,Title,author from Table2
Where Title Not In (Select Distinct Title From Table1))

You can do it with the help of Group By clause and count function.

If this is a VB6 method, using VB6 objects, then it's not really SQL, or am I misunderstanding you ?

He means - this is not a SQL question. It's a VB6 question - hence it shouldn't be in the SQL forum.
