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.

I want to this.
SELECT SUM(FIELDX) FROM TBLX
but result is returning (-2,8421709430404007E-14)
actually resutl is 0 (Zero)
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks.

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.

You can try to change the datatype of the field.
Check if SELECT SUM(cast(FIELDX as numeric(5,2)) FROM TBLX works.
In your real data you naturally need to adjust the precision and scale of the numeric field to fitting values.
