i agree with ritu4321. but if you intend to remove trailing or preceding space, you can use rtrim or ltrim. But please note that ltrim and rtrim does not remove extra spaces within the string, only those at the beginning (for ltrim) and those at the end (for rtrim). Hope this helps.
Remember, your work is not yours alone. Somewhere, there are some codes written by others amongst us that depends on your work. By failing to see that you are part of their ecosystem, you are bound to break their code.

DISTINCT should be used as a SELECT operator, not as a function. I also do not know where you get the trim() function from.
SELECT DISTINCT
LTRIM(RTRIM(opp_name))
FROM
tblOpps
|
|
|
|
|
if you get stuck try and use the len (length function) sometimes using or importing unicode string (nvarchar etc) can cause issues.
<br />
<br />
SELECT DISTINCT <br />
LTRIM(RTRIM(opp_name)),<br />
len(opp_name),<br />
len(LTRIM(RTRIM(opp_name)))<br />
FROM tblOpps<br />
<br />

I attempting to extract data from a single table based on the two different criteria then presenting the information as one table. In the first instance I am trying to extact the date and count() of all messages received with a given time period(the query is based on createdDate). In the second intsatnce I am attempting to extrtact data based on it current status(i.e resolved, resaerched, open) I have created two temp table that provides me with the data I need now I need to group them by date so I can display the data by months for example:
Beginning Period Received Messages Resolved Issues
1/1/2007 15 6
2/1/07 8 19
3/1/07 25 10
And so forth. I have inclused the script any assistance will be great appreciated.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_MS_IssuesReport](@PeriodName varchar(50), @BeginningDate datetime, @EndDate datetime)AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@Period datetime,
@MessagesReceived bigint,
@MessagesClosed bigint
SET NOCOUNT ON;
CREATE TABLE #MS_MessagesReceived(
DateCreated datetime,
IssuesReceived int,
)
CREATE TABLE #MS_MessagesStatus(
DateCreated datetime,
IssuesClosed int
)
CREATE TABLE #MS_MessagesReceivedAndStatuses(
DateCreated datetime,
IssuesReceived int,
IssuesClosed int
)
Insert Into #MS_MessagesReceived(DateCreated,IssuesReceived)
Select dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, CreateDate) AS 'Period', count(CurrentStatusID) from Ms_threads
where CreateDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
Group by CreateDate,CurrentStatusID
Order by CreateDate
Insert Into #MS_MessagesStatus(DateCreated, IssuesClosed)
Select dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, StatusDate) AS 'Period',count(CurrentStatusID)from Ms_threads
where dbo.RPT_IsInquiryCompleted(CurrentStatusID) = 1
and StatusDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
Group by StatusDate, CurrentStatusID
Order by StatusDate, CurrentStatusID
SELECT @MessagesReceived = count(IssuesReceived) from #MS_MessagesReceived
SELECT @MessagesClosed = count (IssuesClosed) from #MS_MessagesStatus
SELECT @Period =dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, DateCreated) from #MS_MessagesReceived
INSERT INTO #MS_MessagesReceivedAndStatuses(DateCreated, IssuesReceived, IssuesClosed)
VALUES(@Period, @MessagesReceived, @MessagesClosed)
Select DateCreated 'Time Period Beginning' , IssuesReceived 'Issue Received', IssuesClosed 'Issue Closed'
from #MS_MessagesReceivedAndStatuses
Drop Table #MS_MessagesReceived
Drop Table #MS_MessagesStatus
Drop Table #MS_MessagesReceivedAndStatuses
END

If you knew it would not compile why didn't you tell me?!?!?!

How about:
SELECT dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, CreateDate) AS Period,
COUNT(*) AS IssuesReceived,
SUM(dbo.RPT_IsInquiryCompleted(CurrentStatusID)) AS IssuesClosed
FROM Ms_threads
WHERE CreateDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY CreateDate
ORDER BY CreateDateThe "SUM" expression assumes that your function returns either 0 or 1.

Thanks for the your help. It sort does what I want however because a message that was created 1/5/2005 may not be resolved until sometime in March its current Status will not be 'Resolved' thus will not fall within this status period. Looking at the code that messages status may be counted during a January monthly report the status is not resolved only becuase the message was created in January. I guess I did not provide information but I am trying to extract and count ALL messages created during the period and all messages Resolved during the period. Agian, a messages created during that period may not be resolved until a future date hence we do not need to count their status on their status is 'Resolved' thus keying off the statusDate.
Thanks for you response. I like the way you clean up the code.

A simple 'OR' Statement should work.
SELECT dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, CreateDate) AS Period, COUNT(*) AS IssuesReceived, SUM(dbo.RPT_IsInquiryCompleted(CurrentStatusID)=1) AS IssuesClosed FROM Ms_threadsWHERE CreateDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDateGROUP
or StatusDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate(This would have to be union with CreateDate for it to work.)
GROUP BY CreateDate
ORDER BY CreateDate
unfortunately the OR statement as scripted is not working either.

Hi Skan
How about:
SELECT dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, A.PeriodDate) AS Period,
SUM(A.IssueReceived) AS IssuesReceived,
SUM(A.IssueClosed) AS IssuesClosed
FROM (
SELECT CreateDate AS PeriodDate,
1 AS IssueReceived,
0 AS IssueClosed
FROM Ms_threads
WHERE CreateDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
UNION ALL
SELECT StatusDate AS PeriodDate,
0 AS IssueReceived,
dbo.RPT_IsInquiryCompleted(CurrentStatusID) AS IssueClosed
FROM Ms_threads
WHERE StatusDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
) A
GROUP BY A.PeriodDate
ORDER BY A.PeriodDateThe select statements within the from-clause count the issues openned and closed during the selected period. The outside select statement then groups everything together.
The technique is fairly common. If you have problems understanding what it is doing then run each of the select statements individually.

Dude you are a Genius. I modified the script a but and it worked like a baby. Thnks dude.. I owe u a beer.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_MS_IssuesReport_Num2](@PeriodName varchar(50), @BeginningDate datetime, @EndDate datetime)AS
BEGIN
SELECT dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, A.PeriodDate) AS Period,
SUM(A.IssueReceived) AS IssuesReceived,
SUM(A.IssueClosed) AS IssuesClosed
FROM(
SELECT CreateDate AS PeriodDate,
1 AS IssueReceived,
0 AS IssueClosed
FROM Ms_threads
WHERE CreateDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
UNION ALL
SELECT StatusDate AS PeriodDate,
0 AS IssueReceived,
dbo.RPT_IsInquiryCompleted(CurrentStatusID) AS IssueClosed
FROM Ms_threads
WHERE StatusDate BETWEEN @BeginningDate and @EndDate
) A
GROUP BY dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, A.PeriodDate) -- Added the date floor function.
ORDER BY dbo.RPT_GetPeriod(@PeriodName, A.PeriodDate)
end
Thank Code Project....This deserves a 10 not a 5...hehehehe!!

Hi there.
I'm having some trouble trying to do the following:
I have some data in my DB:
ID (PK)
type
creation_date
What I want to do is to get the top x results by month/year of creation_date.
I already have a query to count the number of ID's in some month/year, grouped by type, with a 'group by'. This would return the number of ID's with type T in month mm of year yy, for all months and years that appear on creation_date.
Now I need to return the top X results in month 01/2007, top X results in month 02/2007 and so on.
I already make this happen, with a stored procedure, but I'm using another stored procedure to get all the data to a XML file, and I'm not being able to call the stored procedure with the top from the stored procedure that will generate the XML...
Any ideia, anyone?

use union
example:
SELECT * FROM Table1<br />
UNION<br />
SELECT * FROM Table2

How does this solve the problem? Did you even read his post?

Well, that will not solve my problem, because I do not know exactly how many months/years there could be in the first place.
I do have something like this:
select count(ID), type, year(creation_date), month(creation_date)
from table1
group by year(creation_date), month(creation_date), type
which returns the count per type/month/year... After that I just want to show top 5 types per month/year...
As I said, I could do something like what I want with a stored procedure, with a loop foreach month/year, but I do not know how to run a stored procedure from inside another stored procedure...
I've tried 'exec sp_getdata' from inside the other stored procedure, but that didn't work...

A non-clever method is to use temp table instead of a single sql script. :p

by using sql server agent we backup the database as we required.in the same way can i send an email.
what my requirement is , to send mails to relevent parties when the complaints are not handled within 24 hrs , they are lodged.
to send the email i should specify the mail server,but what if i'm not having a mail server and using a free mail server in the internet,how to configure the database mail..

if you are using 2005 then it has built in email.
If you are using SQL2000 install CDONTS and look for articles on google on how to use it,

I want to filter my data while im typing the word that i want to search on a textbox.tnx

Where is your data coming from ? It seems pretty straightforward to me, if you're using a database and want to filter from the DB. Just build a query on each keypress to return the data valid for that search.

yes im using a database and the search result would appear to the gridview...im having a combobox that would give the textbox choices on which to filter...but i dont know how to use the like clause in the select statement propely..
sql = "Select Supplier_Information.Supplier_ID,Supplier_Information.Supplier_Name,Supplier_Information.Address,Supplier_Information.Contact_No, Products.Product_ID, Products.Product_Name,Products.Product_Type, Products.Present_Price, Products.Past_Price from Supplier_Information, Products where Supplier_Information.Supplier_ID like '%s-%' "
i have this code but it does not work properly...i want to come up with a textbox that would filter in every letter that they will type in the textbox.tnx

Whoah - this is a really bad design. Don't attempt to do this because you are going to be hitting the database after every keypress. The more users you have, the more you are going to hit the database. How would you handle the case where the user enters some text and then starts to delete text? Thats the same data being queried many times.
Please - rethink your design.

any suggestive design that i could make?may i know exacly what is the bad design that you are pertaining of...tnx

I'm sorry, but I thought I'd made myself clear enough. Don't design a system where you are hitting the database so many times. Apart from anything else, you probably won't be able to retrieve the data and display it quickly enough if the user is a quick typist.
As for the design - identify a more natural point for retrieving the data.
