It does however answer your first question.
With the additional detail that you have added then something like the following would be want you want. (Unless there are other yet unstated requirements.)
select lower(name) from profile WHERE name LIKE 'sri%"

Odd requirement.
But do you know what 'count' does?
You might want to get a book or use the online documentation and read through all of the functions that are available as part of the database.
And if this system is part of a commercial/publicly available system you should look up sql injection attacks and ways to prevent that. Sql injection attacks are still a significant security problem.

Then you have to generate that numbers from select query.

mmmmmm
suppose you have a check box list that contains 50 items(id)
and the user can select as many as he wish from the list..
then how you can pass the selected ids to a stored procedure ??
giving that you don't know how many ids you will pass??
got me??

Presuming that you really did mean stored procedure then...
First step, determine based on to create the stored procedure in the language supported by the database. Options that I have used for variable argument lists.
- Arrays
- Varchar with values as a comma separated values in that list.
- Proc with up to X args and of which can be null.
- Several procs each one with an increasing number of parameters: first has 5, second has 10, etc.
- dynamic SQL, run in a proc (only suitable for situations where input is known to be secure.)
Once you do in fact have a proc then you write code which populates the parameters dependent on the type of proc that actually exists.
Conversely without a proc, and just using SQL, one creates the SQL from scratch using code (for loops, string concatenation, etc) with the appropriate number of bind variables. Then one populates the bind variables. Then you run it.
To my mind the last option is easier than any solution with procs.

I guess your parameter might be comprising of a delimited string, say, "1,2,4,8" or even "{Guid1},{Guid2},...". If such is your requirement, you can always use some little tweaks.
Like
Declare a temporary table to store the Ids, like declare @Ids table(Id int)
Then, use some string functions to split the string and insert the ids into the table. (Like, CHARINDEX, SUBSTRING, etc)
After that, you can then use the temporary table on your WHERE ... IN ... clause
Like
select * from tbl_Name where id in (select Id from @Ids)

thank you
this is nice. i will give it a try.
or simply 
string strIds = "1,2,3,4";
SqlCommand com="select * from tbl_name where id in(" + strIds + ")";

Note: I'm not sure about MS-SQL, but in Oracle there is a limit to the number of values you can have in an "IN" clause. Back in Oracle 9, I believe the max was 1000.
for example: select * from myTable where ID IN (1,2,3,....,1000,1001) would fail because there was more than 1000 values listed.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but you might want to consider it in your design.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am pretty new to database section. I tried porting a table created in Oracle to SQL Server 2005. In Oracle, i could see a column defined holding the user details. The column is defines as given below.
CREATE_USER VARCHAR2(255 BYTE) DEFAULT USER NOT NULL
My doubt is regarding default value USER.
I would like to know
1) What will be the value keyword "USER" will be returning in ORACLE. Is it an in built property or function which returns the default user?
2) And the equivalent value to be used for "USER" in SQL Server 2005?
Please help
Thanks,
Arudya

The value returned for USER will be the userid that was supplied to establish the connection. If SQL*Plus is available, login to an oracle database and try the command select user from dual. It should return the same value as you supplied as the userid when you logged in. As for the equivalent in SQL Server, I'd suggest try googling for an equivalent.

Hi,
I have a form which including different sort of information. for instance, some information is regarding to personal data which related to Table1 and some are for Table2 and the some are for Table3. all this information are in 1 form.
Now, I just wondering to know, when I wanna insert data via Store procedure do I have to write SP for each of them?
is there any approach to insert data with writing just one SP.
how can I write SP, inserting data in Multi table. is it possible

If you insist on using stored procedures then there should be one that performs all the required statements in a transaction that can be rolled back.
Many practitioners seem to forget that by definition a procedure should contain more than one statement.

This is a basic aspect of an SP
Receive values via variables in the procedure declaration
CREATE PROC StoreDumy
-- Declare
@Var1 VARCHAR(100),@Var2 VARCHAR(100),@Var3 VARCHAR(100),@Var4 VARCHAR(100),
@Var5 VARCHAR(100),@Var6 VARCHAR(100),@Var7 VARCHAR(100)
Insert the variables in the tables required. You may want to wrap the inserts in a transaction so that if 1 insert fails all inserts are rolled back and you are not left with orphaned data
As
DECLARE @ID int
begin TRAN
INSERT dbo.Country (Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@Var1, @Var2)
SET @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT dbo.State (CtryID, Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@ID, @Var3, @Var4)
SET @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT dbo.Town (StateID, Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@ID, @Var5, @Var6)
COMMIT TRAN

And you want to use a database product that you cannot even find the URL for. What level of support do you think you are going to get for this DB. Oh wait, you are looking here, a MS centric site, for support

Some twat who probably has not heard of Postgre.
I nearly got involved in it in the 90s but chose Access spit instead and from there went naturally into SQL Server. I had just spent some years working with SuperBase only to have it sold 5 times in as many years and it got totally marginalised. I'll stick to mainstream!

How can I deploy PostgreSQL database in InstallShield 2010 so it will install the database server and create my database as well?
|
|
|
|
|
how can I create a script for the entire database inPostgreSQL including the structure, rows, functions, views, etc?

You could use PgAdminIII and it's database backup function. This allows you to select which objects you would like to re-create. This could then be run using restore from either PgAdmin or the command line, depending on your requirements
