Hi, 

I need help with the following logic to be put into some code if possible please? I am looking at working out the renewal rate of contracts but I'm not too sure how to code this up. 

I need to essentially write out: 

Value of contracts renewed (Variable: Contract_Type = '00 Renewal'and Variable: Date_Start = This monthand Variable: 'Contract_Amount')

/

Value of contracts due for renewal (Variable: Date_End = This monthand Variable: 'Contract_Amount')

The Output I am looking for would be:

Date      %

Jan 18   22%

Feb 18   13%

Mar 18   70%

etc..........      

I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't please let me know. 

Thanks in advance

I am using the same process/steps to import data every time.  Sometimes I can import the data, sometimes it does not work.  There is no pattern or reason, just random working or not working.  I am using SQL Management Studio 2017.  Anyhow, when it does not work, I receive Error 0xc002f210 when I try to import data.  The error message reads:  "failed with the following error:  'There is already an object named....in the database." however, there is not another object with the same name.  Can anyone help me with fixing this error so that I can import data consistently without having this error appear?

Hi,

My code below outputs 3 records as the Date variable is YYYY-MM-DD of which I have formatted to MMM-YY. How do I condense these please so I only show 1 record with the total value? 

select 
usummary.[ft_type],
format (LD.date_in, 'MMM-yyyy') as Date,
sum(LD.total_val_new)

from LD
left join usummary
on usummary.j_number = LD.j_number

where LD.date_in like '2019-01%'
and usummary.[ft_type] = '26Q'


group by 
usummary.[ft_type],
LD.date_in

My output is

FT_TYPE   DATE_IN     No_column Nam

26Q          JAN-18        1000

26Q          JAN-18        2000

26Q          JAN-18        4000

I want my output to be 

FT_TYPE   DATE_IN     No_column Nam

26Q          JAN-18        7000

Using Import and Export Data Wizard - Large text truncates

I am new to using SQL Server and have ben trying to import some data from a flat file in text format, which has a very large amount of text in one of the fields.  When I try to import using the wizard it reports some data is truncated.

Here are the errors:

Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task 1: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Verse" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
 (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
 
Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task 1: The "Source - Verses2_txt.Outputs[Flat File Source Output].Columns[Verse]" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "Source - Verses2_txt.Outputs[Flat File Source Output].Columns[Verse]" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
 (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
 
Error 0xc0202092: Data Flow Task 1: An error occurred while processing file "D:\Downloads\Verses2.txt" on data row 2.
 (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
 
Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED.  The PrimeOutput method on Source - Verses2_txt returned error code 0xC0202092.  The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
 (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

The fields in the table are: 

VID (Int)

Event_Type    (Int)

Sub_Type       (Int)

Verse              nVarchar(Max)

Am I right in specifying thatall the source data are strings, as it comes from a text file?

Any ideas on how I can get this to import without an error?

SQL Query Modification Request

Hello Experts,

Can someone help modify a SQL script.

The following script will compare columns A B C from TableA and TableB and if it sees a match will output the rows as shown in the following image.

select convert(VARCHAR,0) Is_Deleted, A.A, A.B, A.C, A.D, A.E, A.F
from TableA A
inner join TableB B on B.A = A.A and B.B = A.B and B.C = A.C
union all
select convert(VARCHAR,1) Is_Deleted, B.A, B.B, B.C, B.D, B.E, B.F
from TableB B
inner join TableA A on A.A = B.A and A.B = B.B and A.C = B.C
order by A, B, C

However, I would like the code modified.

I still need sql to find a match on columns A B C but only produce an same output if Column B have the same record, of say bb. At moment, the query matching if all Columns are the same. So because there is a match of xx PP dd the query is providing an output, but I only need the output if the columns were xx bb and dd.

So I only want the above query to produce a result of the TableA and TableB, look like the following:

TableA

TableB

As you can see there is not only a match on ABC, but also on B

Please let me know if you need further information

Length of varchar column - is there an advantage to using 255?

January 14, 2019, 10:45 pm
$
0
0
I often come across columns that are varchar(255), so presumably this is a convention of sorts. 255 is 2^8 - 1. So is there something 'magical' about lengths that are 2^n - 1? Or just specifically 255? Is there a performance or storage optimisation advantage to certain specific lengths? Or is this just old wisdom which is no longer applicable to current versions of MariaDB and MySQL?

Hi,

I have some code that pulls data from SQL Server, but I want to add an extra column onto the results that counts the distinct items in one specific column and adds that to the end of each row.

For Example

Column1  Column2  Column3  Column4

Dave        24           house      married

Dave        24           car          married

Bob          32           House      single

George     12           house       divorced

I want an extra column on the end that will do what countif does in excel so that it tells me how many times each item in column1 appears in that column.

Is that possible?
