You can try shouting a bit louder, but that just gets you a sore throat. 
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I have table A with col1, col2 & table B with col3, col4.
I would like to write a query like
select a.* from A join B on A.col1=B.col3 and A.col2 like col4 + '%'
Is it possible in SQL 2005?
is there a concat function in SQL 2008 or 2005. I have seen it in 2012.
Pls help me.
Thanks in advance

Anything wrong with google today?
Have a look here[^].
String concatenation has been around as long as SQL has. But different dialects have different syntax.
Oracle uses '||', Sql Server uses '+', most implementations can use 'concat(string1, string2)' but not SQL Server AFAIK. Could be wrong about that though.

Hi,
In MySQL, how can I format a number like this
1000000001
where the first 1 is the weekday and the last one is my LAST_INSERT_ID and I am adding just zeroos to make it always 10 digits?
|
|
|
|
|
How about this:
SELECT (DAYOFWEEK(NOW()) * 1E9) + @@LAST_INSERT_ID

Hi,
I want to update the column TID with the top most value of TID as long as MID is the same number.
I want to do this (table after update)
PID SID TID MID RID
3 0 0 4 1
3 NULL 0 4 2
3 NULL 0 4 3
3 NULL 0 4 4
3 NULL 0 4 5
3 NULL 0 4 6
3 NULL 0 4 7
3 4 4 8 1
3 NULL 4 8 2
3 NULL 4 8 3
3 NULL 4 8 4
Below is the actual table before update.
PID SID TID MID RID
3 0 0 4 1
3 NULL NULL 4 2
3 NULL NULL 4 3
3 NULL NULL 4 4
3 NULL NULL 4 5
3 NULL NULL 4 6
3 NULL NULL 4 7
3 4 4 8 1
3 NULL NULL 8 2
3 NULL NULL 8 3
3 NULL NULL 8 4
Any suggestion/solutions deeply appreciated.
Thanks

Assuming your DB is SQL Server, you can try this (just out of mind, not tried though)
UPDATE MyTable A SET A.TID = (SELECT MAX(B.TID) FROM MyTable B WHERE A.MID = B.MID)
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your help.
I have solved it by creating a view of all 'Not NULL' (top most) rows . Then created a stored proc to loop through the view and update the TID. A long procedure though but it did work.
Cheers !

I think you want to do something like this ...
update table A
set tid =
(select max(tid)
from TableA
Group By mid)

Hi thanks for your solution and links,
But your query returned an error.
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

That's because he forgot a small but important condition.
Try this:
update table A as a1
set tid =
(select max(tid)
from TableA as A2
Where A1.mid = A2.mid
Group By mid)

Thanks for the refinement to my SQL. Sometimes when you don't have the actual data to test with, you forget some stuff.

Not if you're a computer, then it's "almost 0". Try rounding the result.

Try the ROUND function. This is due to how computers work and how they calculate. You know what a fractional number is, but they do not exist within a computer.
