I want to prepend text to sql select,
I can do this:
SELECT (1328724983-time)/60/60 AS status
FROM voting
WHERE account = 'ThElitEyeS' AND vid = 1
This will show time left.
What I'd like to do is this though:
SELECT 'Please try after' + (1328724983-time)/60/60 AS status
FROM voting
WHERE account = 'ThElitEyeS' AND vid = 1
Is there any way I can accomplish this?
Just use cast or convert to convert it all to varchar for instance.
SELECT 'Please try after' + CAST((1328724983-time)/60/60 as varchar(80)) AS status
FROM voting
WHERE account = 'ThElitEyeS' AND vid = 1;
See the MSDN on Cast / Convert
Based on your comments you can do:
SELECT 'Please try again after' + CAST(MyColForHours as varchar(25)) + ' hours', AnyOtherColumns FROM Table
Was trying this today and getting an error
SQL0420N Invalid character found in a character string argument of the function "DECFLOAT". SQLSTATE=22018
Apparently we now need to use || instead of + to join the sections.

I am trying to combine data from different rows into one column, and this is working with just one minor problem.
declare #RitID int = 16
select ...,
( select distinct
ISNULL(LTRIM(RTRIM(r2.LotNr)), LTRIM(RTRIM(r.LotNr))) + '+' as 'data()'
from tblExtraBestemming eb2
inner join tblRit r2 on eb2.RitID = r2.RitID
where eb2.BestemmingID = eb.BestemmingID
and eb2.BestemmingTypeID = eb.BestemmingTypeID
and ( (eb.CombinedChildExtraBestemmingID is null and eb2.RitID = #RitID)
or
(eb.CombinedChildExtraBestemmingID is not null and eb2.RitID in (select r4.RitID from tblRit r4 where r4.MasterRitID = #RitID) )
)
for XML PATH('')
) as LotNr
from tblExtraBestemming eb
where ...
this returns the correct data for the column LotNr, like this
GTT18196
GTT18197
GTT18198+ GTT18199
Now my only problem is the space after the + sign in the third row from the result, how can I get rid of this ?
I expect this result
GTT18196
GTT18197
GTT18198+GTT18199
PS, actually there is also a + at the end of each row, but that is removed by the client. I thought I better mentions this already.
EDIT
I checked the data, there are no spaces at the end or the beginning of the data
EDIT
Query updated as suggested by #Larnu
EDIT
if I check the data in the table, this is the result
select '/' + r.LotNr + '/' from tblRit r where r.RitID in (50798, 50799)
COLUMN1
-------
/GTT18198/
/GTT18199/
So it appears to me there are no characters before or after the data
Just remove AS 'data()' from your query (it is not required in the above case).
And if trailing + is a problem, move it to the beginning and use STUFF function to chop off the first character from the result.
I am trying to add a sum of my forecast using a code
select
sum(cast(replace(replace(ZFREEGOOD, ',', ''), ' ', '') as decimal(22,8)))
from
TEMP_GBR_History_1611
I keep getting an error
Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.
I used a case statement to figure out which rows failed. These are some of them
Would be of great help to get a solution
You're not handling the blank case, this works with test data:
select sum(cast(case when replace(replace(ZFREEGOOD,',',''),' ','') = '' then '0' else replace(replace(ZFREEGOOD,',',''),' ','') end as decimal(22,8))) from TEMP_GBR_History_1611
One option is to use try_convert(money,...) It tends to be a little more forgiving.
Example
Select AsMoney = try_convert(money,' 27,300') -- works!
,AsInt = try_convert(int,' 27,300')
,AsDec = try_convert(decimal(10,2),' 27,300')
,AsFloat = try_convert(float,' 27,300')
Returns
AsMoney AsInt AsDec AsFloat
27300.00 NULL NULL NULL
I have a table with a column vouchn. The recod of this column eg-if it receipt voucher it will record like RV103 AND LIKE payment it stores like PV99. I also use this sql for gettin max records.
SELECT MAX(REPLACE(vouchn, 'RV', '')) AS vcno
FROM dbo.dayb
WHERE (vouchn LIKE '%RV%')
it is ok until i reach RV999. After then even record RV1000 is there the above sql retrieve RV999. What is the error of the above code.
If REPLACE(vouchn, 'RV', '') always return numeric result, you can as the below:
SELECT MAX(REPLACE(vouchn, 'RV', '') * 1) AS vcno
FROM dbo.dayb
WHERE (vouchn LIKE '%RV%')
Add CONVERT to numeric type:
SELECT MAX(CONVERT(BIGINT,REPLACE(vouchn, 'RV', ''))) AS vcno
FROM dbo.dayb
WHERE (vouchn LIKE '%RV%')
I've been tasked with fixing some SQL code that doesn't work. The query reads from a view against a predicate. The query right now looks like so.
SELECT TOP (100) Beginn
FROM V_LLAMA_Seminare
//Removal of the following line makes the query successful, keeping it breaks it
where Beginn > (select cast (getdate() as smalldatetime))
order by Beginn desc
When I run the above query, I am greeted with the following error.
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
I decided to remove the WHERE clause, and now it runs returning 100 rows.
At first, I thought that behind the scenes, SQL Server was somehow including my predicate when bringing back the View . But then I investigated how the View was being created, especially the Beginn field, and at no point does it return a String.
Long story short, the column that becomes the Beginn field is a BIGINT timestamp like 201604201369.... The original user transforms this BIGINT to a smalldatetime using the following magic.
....
CASE WHEN ma.datum_dt = 0
THEN null
ELSE CONVERT(smalldatetime, SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),0,5) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),5,2) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),7,2) + ' ' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),9,2) +':'+
SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),11,2) +':' +
RIGHT(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),2)) END AS Beginn
...
My last attempt at finding the problem was to query the view and run the function ISDATE over the Beginn column and see if it returned a 0 which it never did.
So my question is two fold, "Why does a predicate break something" and two "Where on earth is this string error coming from when the Beginn value is being formed from a BIGINT".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This problem is culture related...
Try this and then change the first SET LANGUAGE to GERMAN
SET LANGUAGE ENGLISH;
DECLARE #bi BIGINT=20160428001600;
SELECT CASE WHEN #bi = 0
THEN null
ELSE CONVERT(datetime, SUBSTRING(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),0,5) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),5,2) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),7,2) + ' ' +
SUBSTRING(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),9,2) +':'+
SUBSTRING(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),11,2) +':' +
RIGHT(CAST(#bi AS varchar(max)),2)) END AS Beginn
It is a very bad habit to think, that date values look the same everywhere (Oh no, my small application will never go international ...)
Try to stick to culture independent formats like ODBC or ISO
EDIT
A very easy solution for you actually was to replace the blank with a "T"
SUBSTRING(CAST(ma.datum_dt AS varchar(max)),7,2) + 'T' +
Then it's ISO 8601 and will convert...
The solution was found after looking through #Shnugo's comment. When I took my query which contained the Bigint->Datetime conversion logic, and put it into a CTE with "TOP 100000000" to avoid any implicit conversion actions, my query worked. Here is what my view looks like now with some unimportant parts omitted.
---Important part---
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[V_SomeView] AS
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT TOP 1000000000 ma.id AS MA_ID,
---Important part---
vko.extkey AS ID_VKO,
vko.text AS Verkaufsorganisation,
fi.f7000 AS MDM_Nr,
vf.f7105 AS SAPKdnr,
CASE WHEN ma.datum_dt = 0 --Conversion logic
CASE WHEN ma.endedatum_dt = 0 --Conversion logic
CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),art.text) AS Art,
.....
FROM [ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_MA] ma,
[ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_fi] fi,
[ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_vf] vf,
[ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_ka] vko,
[ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_ka] art,
[ucrm].[dbo].[CRM_ka] kat
where ma.loskz = 0
and fi.loskz = 0
and vf.loskz = 0
and fi.F7029 = 0
and vf.F7023 = 0
...
GROUP BY ma.id,
vko.extkey,
vko.text,
fi.f7000 ,
vf.f7105,
ma.datum_dt,
ma.endedatum_dt,
....
)
select * FROM CTE;
I just realised that my Auto-Price Calculation doesn't fill the Prices for ListID 4.
I inserted the Prices from the SELECT shown below.
For bugg research I executed the SELECT without the WHERE part and it shows me the example data row.
I can't find the error though, why it is not shown in the complete select (it has no entry with ListID = 4).
Someone can see my mistake?
Edit: Just tried the subselect alone, it shows no rows for the requested article. Why is the NOT IN clause unaffected by this fact?
Most likely, it's because of how you are combining the artikelnummer and the auspraegungID.
I do not think you have accounted for that fact that '100' + '0' is idential to '10' + '00'.
Instead of trying to merge two fields into one, perhaps try the following?
SELECT
*
FROM
#allArticles AS allArticles
WHERE
Artikelnummer = 'IT-810260'
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM KHKPreisListenArtikel
WHERE ListeID = 4
AND Artikelnummer = allArticles.Artikelnummer
AND Auspraegung = allArticles.Auspraegung
)
If that still doesn't work, then you must have corresponding records in that other table, find them like this...
SELECT
*
FROM
#allArticles AS allArticles
INNER JOIN
KHKPreisListenArtikel AS Preis
ON Preis.ListeID = 4
AND Preis.Artikelnummer = allArticles.Artikelnummer
AND Preis.Auspraegung = allArticles.Auspraegung
WHERe
allArticles.Artikelnummer = 'IT-810260'
PLEASE ALSO NOTE
Please don't include images of code, please copy the code, so that we can copy it too.
Especially when the tables/fields are in another language...
EDIT
Here is a query that will show the cause of your original query to fail.
SELECT
*
FROM
#allArticles AS allArticles
INNER JOIN
KHKPreisListenArtikel AS Preis
ON Preis.ListeID = 4
AND Preis.Artikelnummer + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), Preis.Auspraegung)
=
allArticles.Artikelnummer + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), allArticles.Auspraegung)
WHERE
allArticles.Artikelnummer = 'IT-810260'
