of course you can use the database.table.field syntax on mysql. the query i wrote works i only asked if someone has a better approach because the query gets difficult to follow once i use more databases and tables.
The join operation joins tables on certain values. I don't need the joined. I just need to see where in those tables (the row id) a value is found.

Hi,
I'm running SQL Server and I have an application that is creating a new database. However I'm not sure what directory I should store the database. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Glenn

If the database is not server based then I would put it in either the users appdata folder or the applications install folder, although this may no longer be valid b/c of the UAC requirements.
I think the appdata folder is where it should be.

I like the idea of using the application's install directory, somewhere far from the Windows default structures. That way, when Windows Update crashes the system and Windows has to be reinstalled, it isn't erased and replaced by empty folders.

I used to be one of those people who would not accept the default installation locations for anyhting, I figured I can design a better file structure than any jumped up softie so I would always change the default. Partly b/c my file system was then completely non standard and no miserable robot/sniffer/@#$@# prick could find anything on MY system.
This lasted till about the mid 90s when there were so many systems coming out of MS and other vendors that simply did not work if they could not find the information in the default folders. Yep I wimped out, I now treat the default folder like the EULA, accept it and move on.

I know what you mean... I try to studiously change the defaults whenever I install new software, but then comes along a product written by idjits that won't let me change them. Microsoft is the single worst offender in that respect, but there are a host of others. Eventually I get lazy, and as the advice to rape victims goes, I lie back and accept the inevitable. But with each new system I try again, having just had to rebuild thousands of files because reinstalling Windows erased them.

As Mycroft said, it's more of a matter of opinion if this isn't a server installation. Personally I like to have the database files in an easy path so I use C:\Databases\... and a tree structure for different versions, databases etc.
If you're going to create multiple databases you can change the default location for the new databases in the Management Studio / Server Properties / Database Settings and type a path you want. However, note that the Management Studio won't create a new folder for you so you have to create it separately and assign proper privileges.

Your question is a bit large...
Have you tried or planned of trying something? If yes and you got stuck in a specific question then posting a targeted question would likeliy give you many helpful answers. Especially if you present some effort you have already made and want some help to get it running etc.
If you're still in the early phase of learning the concepts, I suggest that you read the literature available and google for specifics.

See if xp_cmdshell is what you are looking for. It allows you to run a windows command from within a T-SQL stored procedure.

SQL Query : Select Sum(Emp) from Emp;
Now I want to get the product of Salary : Product means (first sala * Second Sal * Third Salary * ...... * Last salary);
How can i use with the help of SQL Command.
I Do't want to USE PL/SQL Command.
Thanks

assuming as you haven't given a table structure, that there is a column that has the first salary etc in.
select salary_type, sum(emp) from emp group by salary_type
if this doesn't help you, you will need to provide more information i.e. table structures etc.

Did you try using Cursor, I think that can solve your problem.
Hope this helps.
All the best.

No, But How can i use cursor for this requirement...
If you can think then I Can.

You can use select exp(sum(ln(sal))) from emp which of course will throw an exception for negative numbers and zero.
But that you can easily fix with a case expression.
The best solution is of course to create a function to do the job.

Well I did.
I'll do it again, with extra explanation, and I'll write slowly.
You have a table EMP that has a column SAL that you want the product from instead of the sum.
Then the query can look like this:
SELECT EXP(SUM(LN(SAL)))
FROM EMP This query has the drawback that the LN() function will throw an exception for negative numbers and zero.
Tip: CASE WHEN and SIGN() will be useful.
This can be mathematically written like: A*B = eln(A)+ln(B)
|
|
|
|
|
It is generating an Error while executing this Query.
Error Message is : Undefined Function 'LN' in Expression.
If you can think then I Can.

ln() is supported on Oracle since version 8i. If you're using an older version than that, you're having bigger problems than the missing ln() function.
But if you by any chance aren't using Oracle despite your numerous references to PL/SQL, then both SqlServer and MSAccess uses log() instead of ln().
