A Stored Procedure should do the trick nicely (and more efficient, as you don't need to bring all those records on the client side except the sums).
In your SP, calculate the sum of the main column, calculate the sum of the side columns, and then return the sums that you need through output parameters of the SP.

I would create stored procs to perform the required calculations anbd return the results. SQL server is pretty efficient at calculating aggregates. In any case, this is bound to be more efficient than returning all the raw data over the network, then calculating the results. No matter how much faster your calculation is than SQL servers, it will never make up for the overhead of marshalling all that raw data over the network pipe.

Only 2 rows have actual data and 4 of them are just either yes (nor) no then calculate from those fileds depending and yes or no across 4 fields and only one field can be yes. Then you sum the row and that column.
Sorry to be pest - i am not very good a stored p.

Hi,
I am trying to create a process that will take data source that has been output from a proprietary ISAM database to import into a SQL database. The thing is I want the process to be able to create the required tables based on data structure information that has been somehow encoded into the data source.
Currently the solution I am going with is to spit out a CSV file that has a header with table and data format information followed by rows of actual data that gets parsed by a SQL script however I am sure that Microsoft must have some kind of preferred solution to this kind of problem but I have not been able to find it. I have looked at the the tools that are available when creating a SQL Server DTS package as well as what seems to be available using the new Integration Services but nothing seems to be any better than the solution I just mentioned.
Anyone have any ideas, I am willing to bet there is a much better way of doing this.

Can the ISAM database be accessed via, say, OleDB or ODBC?
If it can, then a simple Export/Import package should do the trick nicely, shouldn't it?

Unfortunately the ISAM database cannot be accessed in this way.

i have a query that returns 2 rows and i want to add 1 row manualy, so the final query would return 3 rows. can anyone help me with this?

Select your 2 rows into a view or temporary table, then add your additional row into that view/table.
Final step: select everything from that table/view.
Note: if you are using stored procedures, then temporary table will be
deleted automatically when the stored procedure is done (at least in SQL 2005)

i want to search for specific row in database:
first: stored procedure
create procedure search
@name varchar (50)
as
select * from members where name = @name
second:C#
-create connection and open it
-create command and set it to stored procedure
-create parameter and pass value i want to search for to that parameter
i want to know the index of that row sotred procedure returned to pass it to :
DataRow dataRow = dataTable.Rows[index]
to fill textboxs of other fields "phone,hire_date,email,..."
textbox.text = dataRow["phone"];

If your Stored Procedure only returns one result (because the field 'name' is unique) then the index would be 0, which is the first row in the DataSet/DataTable that you filled using the Stored Procedure.

Try putting the date inside apostrophes. Also, it is generally advisable to use the ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd) so that internationalisation problems don't arise.
e.g.
datediff(year, '2000-02-12', getdate())

Just to further explain what happend. SQL Server interpreted 12/2/2000 as 12 divided by 2 divided by 2000 which is 0.003. Since the the calendar in SQL Server starts on 1st Janurary 1900 you had actually requested the difference in years between 04:19:20 on 1st January 1900 and midnight on 12th February 2006 (or 2nd December 2006 if you use the American format) which is 106.

Hi
I want to find out the no of rows returned by a select statement in a stored procedure within the stored procedure
ie i have a select statement say
select * from employees where deptid=2
now for the no of rows returned i want to perform a calculation for each row in the stored procedure itself
how can i loop in it and get the no of rows and the records for each row to handle all these in the stored procedure rather than in the front end
Waiting for reply
Happy coding

Hi All,
If we have a table in database which has one of the columns as XMl, we can use that XML record.value('/fieldname[1]','varchar(10)') to get the actual value of the fieldname from that XML record.
But what if we don't know the exaxt name of the field whose value has to be fetched, but we are sure that the pattern we give in will only fetch us one record, then is there a way to specify a pattern matching stuff like a normal like statement using '%Something', which would give us all records ending in "Something".
How do i do this.
Pls guide me

Hi,
I have the following tables:
Item (ItemID) and Item_Keyword(ItemID, KeywordID).
ItemID is a primary key in the Item table.
In the Item_Keyword table, both ItemID and KeywordID are foreign keys.
I need to select such ItemID, that has ALL specified keywords.
Thanks in advance for any idea/help
Sincerely,
Elina

There might be a better way, but this will work:
specified keywords='C++','C#','ASP'
the where clause of the outer query will need to have the TotalWords = the number of specified keywords (3 in this case).
select itemid from (select count(*) as TotalWords, itemid
from item_keyword ik inner join keyword k on ik.keywordid = k.keywordid
where k.keyword in(<code>'C++','C#','ASP'</code>)
group by itemid) as tbl
<code>where TotalWords = 3</code>

Thanks, I cam up with the similar solution.
My concern is, that if there are 3 keywords, say 'Java','C#','ASP',
this query will still select it, or wouldn't it?

Elina
