I'm using MS SQL 2000, I want to get the first record every n records.
For example if every group has 10 records, then the records I want are
1,11,21,31,41,51...
Doing it manually is too slow.

Hi,
Hopefuly one last question, do you have prior knowledge of the groups you will be making?
I hope i am not irritating you!

No other prior knowledge of grouping.
Like the Moving Average Line in stock software, only how many records consists of a group is known when grouping.

Hi,
I haven't tried it, just a thought, try with the preprocessing of the data, like write a procedure/routine for knowing groups, and keep a count of each groups rows, and pick by using that count.
Second idea is, to try with a Top function, in multiple sub queries, or via partitioning.
This is tricky, because you are trying to do multi-dimentional sort of activity, on a DBMS which is not much familiar to it!
Even in MS SQL 2005, it is bit difficult, but do-able, using the ranking function with top function.
Hope this is of some help.

I just worried about the performance, now I find that a creating a temporary table would solve the problem.
Thank you all the same.

Why does this not work.....SQL
Declare @MyParam varchar (20)
Set @MyParam = 'MyTableName'
Select * from @MyParam
Seems obvious that it should, is it all TEMP TABLES needed.
|
|
|
|
|
Where exactly are you defining a temporary table in this example?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi, I'm not.
Just want to use a variable to access an exisiting table.
Select * from @parameter
is this not possible?
Thanks for the interest
|
|
|
|
|
ASAIK, you can only create a table[^] variable, fill it with data and then use in SELECT statements.

have the sql query in a string variable and execute using sp_executesql or EXECUTE Command. something like this should work, try...
@SqlQuery = 'Select * from ' + @MyParam<br />
EXEC sp_executesql @SqlQuery

You should always enclosed the table name in side square brackets just in case it contains any odd characters and the table name should be checked to see if the table exists first. These are very basic security precautions against invalid or maliceous data from causing problems with the database.

Thanks John,
but
declare @SqlQuery varchar
set @SqlQuery = 'Select * from raiser wHERE raiser.raiserid=3'
EXEC @SqlQuery
Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 5
Could not find stored procedure 'S'.
doesn't work
what am I doing wrong?

hi there, in this example you didn't create any table. You creating a variable and it is not possible to select from variable,
--
Declare @MyParam varchar (20)
Set @MyParam = 'MyTableName'
you can simple select like this:
SELECT @MyParam
-- it will give this result 'MyTableName'
if you want to create table, use this
Create Table #MyTableName
(
here you define the attributes
ex.
atributename varchar(20)
)
and then you can use
SELECT * FROM #MyTableName
the result --- atributename
respect

Cheers guys, job done via Dynamic SQL.
Why I can't lookup a variable table name, who knows? Seems stupid to not be able to.
Thanks again.

Because it's not part of the language specification.

Hi,
How can I add a new column in middle/(at any position) of the existing table?
How can I do that in Postgres?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
But it will add the new column at the last.
But i want it to get added at the middle.
Is there any way to achieve this.

Column ordering is not important within a SQL server database - why do you need to do this.

If it was me I would start by questioning the requirement, because it suggests that someone either doesn't know how databases work and/or are using it incorrectly for some other purpose.
But excluding that you would have to
1. Create temporary table.
2. Copy all of the data to the temp table.
3. Delete the original table.
4. Re-create with the new column
5. Copy all of the data back to the newly created table.
6. Delete the temp table.
Obviously you will need to deal with foreign keys appropriately. And it is likely that that the database can not be active (not processing work) while this is going on.
