I know nothing about Sybase, but... Does Sybase even use owners/schemas the same way SQL does? Does "dbo" mean anything to Sybase at all?

I was, quite a while back, but the problem seemed to fix itself.

What exactly is or is not going on? Tell us step by step what you're doing and where...

Now I feel silly. @=)

I went back through my most recent examples and found I'd re-written my code to use nested sub-queries because our BU decided they wanted different values,...

Ahh. I did not realize this was a homework assignment. That changes things, unfortunately. We don't answer homework assignments or interview questions on this board.

What I can do is give...

Okay, let's start with the first question.

What do you want to do (in English) with the results. Forget about your original post. What is the intent of gathering this...

I have to agree with Chris. I really don't think that query will get you the results you want.

But you'd have to post sample data and expected results for us...

I don't know about Sharepoint is affected by SS SP2, but I haven't noticed any data loss on my servers from installing SP2.

In fact, there shouldn't be data loss from...

You're welcome. Though, I'm not sure we helped much.

You might want to make very very sure your result set matches the expected data before you cheer.

You're welcome. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Select your CTE into a Temp Table (or create the TempTable first for better performance and then do the CTE...Insert). Then work off the Temp table.

That should resolve the issue...

Steve & Lowell,

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

Looks like I have major research to do on the issue. But at least now I know where to start. @=)

Thanks again,

May I ask about the values of annual_review_type_id? If you can avoid using a function in your WHERE clause, your life will be much easier. Because the function evaluates for...

Might I also recommend using a JOIN on your @Fields query instead of a sub-query WHERE clause?

IE:

FROM CaseType ct

JOIN [CASE] c

on ct.CaseTypeRef = c.CaseTypeRef

ORDER BY Name ASC FOR XML PATH('')

Works...

Dave,

A couple of things. First, don't use text() as a column name. That's a terrible habit to get into. In fact, if you can avoid it, don't use keywords...

Using the Employees table below how would you select by Last_name and group by Salary within EE01_Classification?

I thought this would work but no dice thus far:

Select Last_name

FROM Employees

GROUP...
