How do I subtract 3 days from current date only when current day = 2, so that I retrieve the previous Fridays date?

Kathyb624 — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:59:41 +0000

I am new to using T-SQL, so there is probably an easy way to accomplish this, but I can’t seem to get it right. I want to retrieve the previous day’s date (requires a weekday) to use as a comparsioin to a date field in the table, format is YYYYMMDD. When the current date is a Monday, I need to subtract 3 days from current date, otherwise subtract 1 day.

SQL Server 2008 Insert Into vs Insert Statement Recompile

Rick Martinez — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:34:09 +0000

I have a stored procedure that executes a t-sql statement using sp_executesql. This t-sql code recompiles everytime it runs using “INSERT INTO” but when I use “INSERT” only it will not recompile. What is going on here?

sample:

create table #test (id int)

Recompile:

insert into #test select id from mytable

Not Recompile:

insert #test select id from mytable

How to concat SQL Server 2005 data with line feed

TLMercer — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:46:35 +0000

I am attempting to update a column in SQL Server 2005 by concatenating data from two other columns and include a line feed between the two and have the second line begin with a /.

The data will be viewed through an MS Access 2003 database with a linked table using an ODBC connection. The script I am using in MS SQL Server Management Studio Query window is:

update tblinventory set abstract = [title_1]+char(10)+char(13)+’/'+[Title_2] where ITEM_NO = 10850

However, when the results are viewed using Access I see in the abstract column data from title_one “two boxes” a / and data from title_two.

I would expect to see the /and data from title_two on a different line.

An example is data in title_1 = Houston data in title_2 = Texas; I would expect to see data returned in abstract as Houston new line /Texas However when viewed through the linked table in Access I see in column abstract Houston BOX BOX [two][/two]/Texas all on the same line the two boxes I assume are the special characters for line feed and carrige return but Access is not interpreting them correctly. When the same row of data is viewed through MS SQL Server Management Studio Query window the data for abstract is displayed on one line as: Houston /Texas.

Can anyone assist with this issue? Thanks in advance

T-SQL with Recursion – Display top ID on all levels below (To: Kent Milligan)

Cavallino — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 13:36:41 +0000

Hell Kent,

I read through “V5R4 SQL Packs a Punch” http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/systems_i_software_db2_pdf_rcte_olap.pdf

I would need the query in figure 20 and the result in figure 21 which do not show up in the article.

I have a query similar to the example (parts of an iSeries Power5 server) that shows all the levels correctly, however, I must display the top level part of the recursion in every line of the result. (In the example there should be a field “Product” filled with “iSeries Power5 server” in every line of the result.). I must be able to distinguish the parts of different products.

Would you be so kind and post the corresponding T-SQL query?

regards arno

Parameter in select statement

Plugsharma — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 21:31:36 +0000

Hi,

I need to pass a parameter into a stored procedure which values are dynamic always. Executing a variable which having the Select statement.

Following query working fine.

BEGIN
DECLARE @strQuery NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @CountryId INT
DECLARE @CityId INT

SET @CountryId = 2
SET @CityId = ‘ AND CityId IN (23,45,85,86)’

SELECT @strQuery= ‘SELECT VendorId From Vendors
WHERE CountryId = ‘+@CountryId+’ ‘+@CityId+’
ORDERBY CreatedDate’

EXEC(@strQuery)
END

I need to execute above in an open select statement instead of executing @strQuery.

Getting error as When trying through following script as “Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ‘ AND CityId (23,45,85,86)’ to data type int”

SELECT VendorId From Vendors
WHERE CountryId = @CountryId + ‘ ‘ +@CityId
ORDERBY CreatedDate

Please help me to get it working through above select statement.

Thanks

Sharma
