I have a system that has a number of canned reports and we are looking to further customize those reports. Looking at the XML, I see the following SELECT statement.
SELECT #GetProperty("VATFlag","0",false)# AS CONDITION
FROM LOCATION_ORGANIZATION
WHERE organizationID #organizationid#
Now, I see that #organizationid is a variable required in the report, and I can pass something to it. However, I don't know what the dual # in #organization# is, also, why the strings within SELECT and AS CONDITION are and what it would return.
Can someone enlighten me?

When I try to insert into the table it threw below error:
Numeric value 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' is not recognized
Have check the table DDL and found only 3 columns defined as NUMBER and rest as VARCHAR.
I checked the SELECT query and didnot find any string value in those NUMBER Datatype columns. Also tried searching in all the Varchar columns for the value 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' , I didn't find any
I know one thing Snowflake doesn't always shows correct error. Am I missing anything here? Is there any way to fix it?
Both COL4_MRR and COL5_QUANTITY are NUMBER
INSERT INTO TABLE
(COL1_DATE, COL2_CD, COL3_CUST_NAME, COL3_LOC_NAME,COL4_MRR,COL5_QUANTITY)
SELECT
'2019-10-03' AS COL1_DATE ,
'AE' AS COL2_CD
,CUSTOMER_NAME AS COL3_CUST_NAME
,LOCATION_NAME AS COL3_LOC_NAME
,MRR_BILLED as COL4_MRR
,QTY_BILLED as COL5_QUANTITY
FROM SCHEMA.V_TABLEA
union all
SELECT
'2019-10-03' AS COL1_DATE ,
'BE' AS COL2_CD
,CUSTOMER_NAME AS COL3_CUST_NAME
,LOCATION_NAME AS COL3_LOC_NAME
,NULL as COL4_MRR
,QTY_BILLED as COL5_QUANTITY
FROM SCHEMA.V_TABLEB
I created a table_D same as original TABLE and tried inserting into it , it worked fine . Then Inserted into Original TABLE from table_D , it worked again .
Deleted those rows from original TABLE and reran the job , it worked fine.
There was no issue with data as all was Number only, I even tried with TRY_TO_NUMBER too. It inserted the data without any changes to the code.

Client is currently waiting on a next day run to re-test to determine if this is either a bug or an issue with their data. In the meantime, we are interested to see if anyone else has run into similar challenges and have a viable recommendation. THANK YOU.
The error typically means you are trying to insert non-numeric data (like 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI') into a numeric column. It seems like the customer did everything right in testing and TRY_TO_NUMBER() is a great way to verify numeric data.
Do the SELECT queries run fine separately? If so, then I would check whether there might be a potential mismatch in the datatype of the columns and make sure they are in the right order.
I would also check whether or not the header is being skipped in the file (that may be where the 'abc_0011O00001y31VpQAI' is coming from since the customer did not see it in the data).
SELECT queries work fine, I tried creating a new table with same DDL as original and tried loading into that new table, it worked fine. Not sure why it is not loading into the original table
I use UPDATE a SET GR_P = REPLACE(GR_P,'','') FROM mytable a to replace things.
But replace function is not working for below charter:
In Query analyzer it works but when I used SSIS Execute SQL task or OLEDB Source then it is giving me error:
No Connection manager is specified.
In Toad against Oracle (since that's one of your tags), I issued this (pressing ALT-12 to get the female symbol) and got 191 as a result. note selecting it back using CHR(191) shows an upside-down question mark though.
select ascii('♀') from dual;
Given that, this worked but it's Oracle syntax, your mileage may vary.
UPDATE mytable SET GR_P = REPLACE(GR_P, CHR(191));
Note if it does not work, that symbol could be for another control character. You may need to use a regular expression to eliminate all characters not in a-zA-Z0-9, etc. I suspect you'll need to update your tags to get a more accurate answer.
Maybe this info will help anyway. Please post back what you find out.
I have a table with two columns hora_entrada and hora_saida and when running this select statement:
select hora_entrada, hora_saida
from Controlo_de_Entrada_saidas
it shows this result:
What I want to do is to combine these two columns into one that if Hora_saida = "Não saiu", it shows the data in hora_entrada but if hora_saída has an actual hour in there, it shows the data in hora_saida instead.
So basically this should be my result:
I don't know if I'm making myself clear, I actually don't even know where to start or if its even possible but any help would be appreciated.
Try using a CASE expression:
SELECT
hora_entrada,
hora_saida,
CASE WHEN hora_saida = 'Não saiu'
THEN hora_entrada ELSE hora_saida END AS new_column
FROM yourTable;
This logic assumes that any value in the hora_saida column which is not Não saiu is a valid timestamp. If not, then we could add additional logic to check for this as well.
If you are open/able to changing your data model, you might want to consider just storing NULL values for the missing data. SQL Server (and most other databases as well) has a built-in function COALESCE, which can be used to replace NULL with a backup value. This would avoid needing to use a lengthy CASE expression as you see above.
I am trying to create a report that has a list of various product groups as parameters. When selecting each group, a list of those related products should appear. I am currently getting a blank table.
The results for this product group display when i execute the query.
I have the list of parameters and values as follows:
i'm struggling to see where I have gone wrong, when i preview the report, I can select each parameter, but get an empty table in the report. I expect the way I have given each parameter a value may be the problem, but cannot figure it out.
This is the query in the report.
DECLARE #ProductCode VARCHAR(12)
SELECT STRC_CODE, STRC_DESC FROM DeFactoUser.F_ST_Products
WHERE STRC_CODE LIKE #ProductCode
I am using Visual Studio Data Tools 2012 to build the report.
If anyone could give me a clue, that would be greatly appreciated.
It doesn't work without the quotes. I thought the quotes and wildcard
would be necessary to allow the LIKE operator to work.
First of all you don't need to use quotes, I tried to reproduce it right now and it works without quotes:
Second, the query that SSRS sends to server looks like this:
exec sp_executesql N'select model
from [dbo].[cars]
where model like #car',N'#car nvarchar(3)',#car=N'ca%'
So the only thing it changes respect to your code is parameter type, it always declares it as unicode, i.e. nvarchar(...), so maybe it make sense to try in SSMS your code with parameter type changed to nvarchar(12):
declare ProductCode nvarchar(5) = N'PA.A%'
Try to execute it in SSMS and see if it returns smth or not
I have a string column where I need to find the substring until the first '-' is found.
Example column ELOT-IGS-2. I need to get "2" as output.
These columns come from a table so I cannot declare the variable as a fixed string.
I tried LOCATE, SUBSTRING_INDEX but none are build in functions.
I also tried RIGHT(ID_BETSLIP,CHARINDEX('-',ID_BETSLIP)-1) but this does not work when I have 2 times "-"
Does anyone have an idea?
select RIGHT(<your Field>, CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(<your Field>))-1)
DECLARE #t varchar(20) = 'ELOT-IGS-2'
select REVERSE(SUBSTRING(reverse(#t),0,CHARINDEX ('-',REVERSE(#t))))
Simplest would be
select SUBSTRING(reverse(ELOT-IGS-2),0,charindex('-',reverse(ELOT-IGS-2)))
Based on #mohan111's solution you can add REVERSE in order to get what you need
DECLARE #t varchar(20) = 'ELOT-IGS-2'
select REVERSE(SUBSTRING(reverse(#t),0,CHARINDEX ('-',REVERSE(#t))))
You should have done this yourself, once you got #mohan111's solution! For your own improvement you can not ask for everything :-( Once you got a solution that is almost what you need, it is time to try to improve it yourself. Please check this MSDN page, and every time that you need to parse a string, START HERE :-) Try to go over the functions and maybe you will find the solution.
The REVERSE query and most string parsing function are not good solution in SQL Server, and in most cases you are better to do this using SQLCLR function.
