    FROM TableA

    GROUP BY col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7

  • RE: Outer Join Trouble

  • RE: Outer Join Trouble

    Hello,

    Both the article and the comment by Lutz Albers were enlightening.

    When I ran into this problem, I would solve it like this:

    LEFT OUTER JOIN

      (SELECT * FROM...

  • RE: Digging Into Access Performance

    Hmm.  The Join to Employee Territories is a red herring. You're only updating the Employee table:

    UPDATE dbo_Employees

    SET dbo_Employees.LastName = "Leverling2"

    WHERE EmployeeID=3;

    If you were trying to profile a joined update,...

  • RE: Get Away From Confusing Code

    I like the idea of using variables instead of the quotes.  But not the part about the ASCII characters.  The solution below works best for me:

    Declare @q char(1)

    select LEN(@val), LEN(@v2)

    SET @val = ' SSC is cool '

    SET @v2 = @val + @val

    There are some critical differances between crosstab and rotate:

    A. Rows: Crosstab creates 1 row of output for 1 or more rows of input.

  • RE: View the SQL query out-put in horizontal format.

    Hello Abrahim,

    This query has got to be for presentation (i.e. a report or a web screen), yes? If so, what's the target presentation app?   I'd try to do it there,...

  • RE: excluding fields in my SELECT from the GROUP BY clause

    Hello Luis Santos,

    I agree with Antares686, a sample output -- particularly of the two lines that you want consolidated into 1 -- would make this easier to solve.  However, I'll...

  • RE: real newie on derived columns

    Hello J M Davis,

    You can also tell SQL to calculate the derived column before the join, by putting the selections for table2 in a sub-select:

        ,...

  • RE: Parsing the name field with T-SQL

    Hello cgrunner,

    The parsing-names problem has existed since names have been automated. I don't think it's susceptible to a technology quick-fix. Typical name data may include: honorific titles (DR., etc.), hyphenated...
