    Jeff Moden (1/21/2014)See the example code that Luis posted above for one possibility.

    I did and I read the article you published, and I really enjoyed reading it, thank...

  • RE: How to update the same column multiple times in an UPDATE statement?

    I can't remember if it's true, or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but an update will only update rows once even if a correspondant select would show...

  • RE: T-SQL Sorting inside pivot

    ashok.theagarajan (1/22/2014)


    I did this. Now what happens is for a particular week when the year changes from 2013 to 2014 the data is displayed twice. The same will happen if...

  • RE: T-SQL Sorting inside pivot

    You need to add the year to your weekrange column (or add it in a different column). Even if you don't display it, you need the information so SQL Server...

  • RE: query time question

    It still depends on the time needed to display the results, possible table locks, disk speed, etc

  • RE: query time question

    It depends.

    What about possible network issues? Wil the query use functions? indexes?

    Many things can cause poor performance or great performance.

  • RE: Passing Wildcard parameters through Query

    sharonsql2013 (1/21/2014)


    Select *

    from SomeTable

    where table_id LIKE '%' + @ID+ '%' OR table_id LIKE '%'

    Well, it always give all values irrespective of parameter.

    That's because "OR table_id LIKE '%'" makes your WHERE...

  • RE: Passing Wildcard parameters through Query

    hisakimatama (1/21/2014)


    Luis, after a bit of tinkering in SSRS myself, I've clearly misspoken! I suppose I've got another complaint to lodge with our vendor, regrettably. Threw together a...

  • RE: Passing Wildcard parameters through Query

    hisakimatama (1/21/2014)


    I'd be careful of using this sort of query, though; without the proper proofing, it's open to SQL injection, and all of its assorted security risks.

    Can you explain how...

  • RE: Mastering Dimensions of Time

    steven.ensslen (1/21/2014)


    I agree strongly with peter-757102 and raulggonzalez.

    However the point of a date dimension is not that is stores all of the days of a year. That's trivial. ...

  • RE: Need a cte to return all periods in a range of periods

    You could certainly use the new capabilities to avoid the temp table.

    I can't help you on that right now because I don't have an instance of 2012 to test...

  • RE: Joining master and detail tables

    Do you need something like this? I think I'm missing something.

    SELECT Id,

    dim0,

    dim1,

    dim2,

    value1,

    value2,

    description,

    UDF1

    FROM PTMaster

    UNION ALL

    SELECT M.Id,

    M.dim0,

    M.dim1,

    M.dim2,

    D.value AS value1,

    0 AS value2,

    D.description,

    M.UDF1

    FROM PTMaster M

    JOIN PTDetail D ON M.Id = D.FactId

  • RE: Need a cte to return all periods in a range of periods

    It might not be my day, because I might have overcomplicated myself with this. I haven't noticed that you needed a running total (balance). Here's an option using a fast...

    aaaaaaaahhhhhhh.... I do wish you lived in the Detroit area.

    I wouldn't mind to change my address. Especially to a city that hosts an NFL team.:-D

  • RE: Need a cte to return all periods in a range of periods

    The usual method, would be to do a left join with your periods table.
