I have a megre statement that does something like the following:
MERGE INTO TABLE_NAME1 tgt
USING (SELECT CONTRACTOR, TRACTOR, COL1, COL2 FROM TABLE_NAME2) src
ON src.CONTRACTOR = tgt.CONTRACTOR AND src.TRACTOR = tgt.TRACTOR
This is because a contractor can have multiple tractors. The table key is not used because it is an identity key only - auto number on insert.
The Merge runs OK when the table is empty, but when running it again it duplicates the rows where the tractor is null. So I tried:
ON ((src.CONTRACTOR = tgt.CONTRACTOR AND src.TRACTOR = tgt.TRACTOR)
OR (src.CONTRACTOR = tgt.CONTRACTOR AND tgt.TRACTOR IS NULL))
But this causes it to hang. Does DB2 have an issue comparing NULL to NULL?
"Does DB2 have an issue comparing NULL to NULL?" No, it does not. However, the result of such a comparison is unknown, in other words, it is neither true nor false:
$ db2 "select * from sysibm.sysdummy1"
IBMREQD
-------
Y
1 record(s) selected.
$ db2 "select * from sysibm.sysdummy1 where null = null"
IBMREQD
-------
0 record(s) selected.
$ db2 "select * from sysibm.sysdummy1 where null != null"
IBMREQD
-------
0 record(s) selected.
Without seeing your complete statement and sample data it's hard to provide a definite answer, but you may want to try instead:
...ON ((src.CONTRACTOR = tgt.CONTRACTOR AND src.TRACTOR = tgt.TRACTOR
AND tgt.TRACTOR IS NOT NULL))

I'm working in a bank so I had to adjust the column names and information in the query to fit the external web, so if there're any weird mistakes know it is somewhat fine.
I'm trying to use the CASE clause to display data from a different table, I know this is a workaround but due to certain circumstances I'm obligated to use it, plus it is becoming interesting to figure out if there's an actual solution.
The error I'm receiving for the following query is:
"ERROR [21000] [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2] SQL0811N The result of a scalar
fullselect, SELECT INTO statement, or VALUES INTO statement is more
than one row."
select bank_num, branch_num, account_num, client_id,
CASE
WHEN exists(
select *
from bank.services BS
where ACCS.client_id= BS.sifrur_lakoach
)
THEN (select username from bank.services BS where BS.client_id = ACCS.client_id)
ELSE 'NONE'
END username_new
from bank.accounts accs
where bank_num = 431 and branch_num = 170
EDIT:
AFAIK we're using DB2 v9.7:
DSN11015 - DB21085I Instance "DB2" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09075" with
level identifier "08060107".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.7.500.702", "s111017", "IP23287", and Fix Pack "5".
Use listagg function to include all results.

I have maybe easy question, but I'm completely stucked.
I have script
SELECT COALESCE(COUNT(id), 0) as MyFiels from table
It works fine and when I have zero value it shows 0.
But I want that instead of 0, I can see one line = "NO RESULTS" for example.
I tried:
SELECT COALESCE(to_char(COUNT(id), 'NO RESULT')) as MyFiels from table
And PostgreSQL shows error message:
ERROR: "E" is not supported
SQL state: 0A000
Where I'm incorrect? Any ideas?
I see what is the error, you are trying to use coalesce to convert 0 to string, and coalesce convert null to something. You need use a CASE
SELECT CASE WHEN COUNT(*) = 0 THEN 'NO RESULT'
ELSE CAST(COUNT(*) as TEXT)
END as field
FROM Table
I have a database in postgreSQL. I want to read some data from there, but I get an error (column anganridref does not exist) when I execute my command.
Here is my NpgsqlCommand:
cmd.CommandText = "select * from angebot,angebotstatus,anrede where anrid=anganridref and anstaid=anganstaidref";
and my 3 tables
the names of my columns are rights. So I don't understand why that error comes. Someone can explain me why it does crash? Its not the problem of large and lowercase.
You are not prefixing your column names in the where clause:
select *
from angebot,
angebotstatus,
anrede
where anrid = anganridref <-- missing tablenames for the columns
and anstaid = anganstaidre
It's also recommended to use an explicit JOIN instead of the old SQL 89 implicit join syntax:
select *
from angebot
join angebotstatus on angebot.aaaa = angebotstatus.bbbb
join anrede on angebot.aaaa = anrede.bbbb
I am developing a TSQL stored proc using SSMS 2008 and am receiving the above error while generating a CTE. I want to add logic to this SP to return every day, not just the days with data. How do I do this? Here is my SP so far:
ALTER Proc [dbo].[rpt_rd_CensusWithChart]
#program uniqueidentifier = NULL,
#office uniqueidentifier = NULL
AS
DECLARE #a_date datetime
SET #a_date = case when MONTH(GETDATE()) >= 7 THEN '7/1/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(30))
ELSE '7/1/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE())-1 AS VARCHAR(30)) END
if exists (
select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#ENROLLEES')
) DROP TABLE #ENROLLEES;
if exists (
select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#DISCHARGES')
) DROP TABLE #DISCHARGES;
declare #sum_enrollment int
set #sum_enrollment =
(select sum(1)
from enrollment_view A
join enrollment_info_expanded_view C on A.enrollment_id = C.enroll_el_id
where
(#office is NULL OR A.group_profile_id = #office)
AND (#program is NULL OR A.program_info_id = #program)
and (C.pe_end_date IS NULL OR C.pe_end_date > #a_date)
AND C.pe_start_date IS NOT NULL and C.pe_start_date < #a_date)
select
A.program_info_id as [Program code],
A.[program_name],
A.profile_name as Facility,
A.group_profile_id as Facility_code,
A.people_id,
1 as enrollment_id,
C.pe_start_date,
C.pe_end_date,
LEFT(datename(month,(C.pe_start_date)),3) as a_month,
day(C.pe_start_date) as a_day,
#sum_enrollment as sum_enrollment
into #ENROLLEES
from enrollment_view A
join enrollment_info_expanded_view C on A.enrollment_id = C.enroll_el_id
where
(#office is NULL OR A.group_profile_id = #office)
AND (#program is NULL OR A.program_info_id = #program)
and (C.pe_end_date IS NULL OR C.pe_end_date > #a_date)
AND C.pe_start_date IS NOT NULL and C.pe_start_date >= #a_date
;WITH #ENROLLEES AS (
SELECT '7/1/11' AS dt
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(d, 1, pe_start_date) as dt
FROM #ENROLLEES s
WHERE DATEADD(d, 1, pe_start_date) <= '12/1/11')
The most obvious issue (and probably the one that causes the error message too) is the absence of the actual statement to which the last CTE is supposed to pertain. I presume it should be a SELECT statement, one that would combine the result set of the CTE with the data from the #ENROLLEES table.
And that's where another issue emerges.
You see, apart from the fact that a name that starts with a single # is hardly advisable for anything that is not a local temporary table (a CTE is not a table indeed), you've also chosen for your CTE a particular name that already belongs to an existing table (more precisely, to the already mentioned #ENROLLEES temporary table), and the one you are going to pull data from too. You should definitely not use an existing table's name for a CTE, or you will not be able to join it with the CTE due to the name conflict.
It also appears that, based on its code, the last CTE represents an unfinished implementation of the logic you say you want to add to the SP. I can suggest some idea, but before I go on I'd like you to realise that there are actually two different requests in your post. One is about finding the cause of the error message, the other is about code for a new logic. Generally you are probably better off separating such requests into distinct questions, and so you might be in this case as well.
Anyway, here's my suggestion:
build a complete list of dates you want to be accounted for in the result set (that's what the CTE will be used for);
left-join that list with the #ENROLLEES table to pick data for the existing dates and some defaults or NULLs for the non-existing ones.
It might be implemented like this:
… /* all your code up until the last WITH */
;
WITH cte AS (
SELECT CAST('7/1/11' AS date) AS dt
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(d, 1, dt) as dt
FROM cte
WHERE dt < '12/1/11'
)
SELECT
cte.dt,
tmp.[Program code],
tmp.[program_name],
… /* other columns as necessary; you might also consider
enveloping some or all of the "tmp" columns in ISNULLs,
like in
ISNULL(tmp.[Program code], '(none)') AS [Program code]
to provide default values for absent data */
FROM cte
LEFT JOIN #ENROLLEES tmp ON cte.dt = tmp.pe_start_date
;
Can anyone tell me how to translate the following T-SQL statement:
SELECT fileld1 = CASE
WHEN T.option1 THEN -1
ELSE
CASE WHEN T.option2 THEN 0
ELSE 1
END
END
FROM Table1 AS T
The point is I need to validate two different options from the table for a single field in the select statement..
I have tried to do somthing with an IF statement in pl/sql, but it just doesnt work for me:
SELECT IF T.option1 THEN -1
ELSE IF T.option2 THEN 0
ELSE 1
END
FROM Table1 AS T
I am not actually sure how to write IF statement inside the SELECT statement..
And also, I need to do it INSIDE the select statement because I am constructing a view.
Use:
SELECT CASE
WHEN T.option1 = ? THEN -1
WHEN T.option2 = ? THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS field1
FROM Table1 AS T
I can't get your original TSQL to work - I get:
Msg 4145, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'THEN'.
...because there's no value evaluation. If you're checking if the columns are null, you'll need to use:
SELECT CASE
WHEN T.option1 IS NULL THEN -1
WHEN T.option2 IS NULL THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS field1
FROM Table1 AS T
...or if you need when they are not null:
SELECT CASE
WHEN T.option1 IS NOT NULL THEN -1
WHEN T.option2 IS NOT NULL THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS field1
FROM Table1 AS T
CASE expressions shortcircuit - if the first WHEN matches, it returns the value & exits handling for that row - so the options afterwards aren't considered.
If I remember correctly, PL/SQL also supports the case. You just would have to move the column alias from "field1=" before the expression to "AS filed1" after the expression.
