I am writing an SQL query in which that I will need to perform a sub select on a table, which will usually return multiple rows. I need to be able to join together the results of a certain field from all the rows into one field to output. Is this possible, and how?
For example, if the SQL query returns
id | field
1 | test1
2 | test2
3 | test3
I need the outputted field to be "test1 test2 test3".
I have a problem where I would like to get a comma-separated list of items from a couple of tables as part of a set of results. All the searching I've done so far has produced results for dealing with one or two tables. I have four, and can't get my head around how to adapt the sql to deal with it.
I have the following layout:
*Table_Castings*
+---- CastingID {PK}
| MouldID
| SerialNo
| CastRef
| MeltCode
| Signature
|
|
| *Table_CastCertificates* *Table_Certificates*
| CertificateID {PK} ----------- CertificateID {PK}
+---- CastingID {PK} Description
FileID -----------------+
|
|
*Table_CertificateFiles* |
FileID {PK} -------------+
FullLocation
The results I would like include the following columns:
CastingID, MouldID, SerialNo, CastRef, MeltCode, [Certificates],
Where Certificates is a comma separated list of Description + " " + FullLocation records. (What I'll actually do is add http:// and other html codes to make FullLocation a hyperlink, but I can do that.)
Some SQL I've already got is this:
DECLARE @str VARCHAR(500)
SELECT @str = COALESCE(@str + ', ','') + '<a href="http://' + Table_CertificateFiles.FullLocation + '">' + Table_Certificates.Description + '</a>'
FROM Table_CastCertificates INNER JOIN
Table_Certificates ON Table_CastCertificates.CertificateID = Table_Certificates.CertificateID INNER JOIN
Table_CertificateFiles ON Table_CastCertificates.FileID = Table_CertificateFiles.FileID
WHERE (CastingID = 45)
SELECT output = @str
This actually gives all records in the for the specific casting, but I keep getting an error at the "=" in @str = COALESCE when I try joining it to another query to get each casting.

View 1 RepliesI currently have a datasource that displays several rows on an editable gridview where the user can update several rows at once. Each row contains an ActivityTotal column per row. I'd like to sum all the ActivityTotal rows displayed and have one totalValue.
for example
row 1 activityTotal = 4
row 2 activityTotal = 3
row 3 activityTotal = 1
totalValue = 8
How can I incorporate this into the code?

I need to produce a from where I can add multiple parts. Each time a user enters a part number, the description should be populated. The user can then click add and this part and description will be shown below. They have the option to add as many parts as they require.

View 5 RepliesI am listing about 20 rows, each row represents an Order.Each row needs to have 3 buttons, each button click will perform a different action.I have 3 actions to handle each button post request, I am just unsure how to setup the Html forms for each button.

<form method="post" action="/orders/do1"><input type=button ... /></form>
<form method="post" action="/orders/do2"><input type=button ... /></form> [code]....
Should I create 3 forms for each button, per row in my listing?(that would mean 20 rows x 3 forms = 60 forms on a page)Is that 'ok' to do? (i.e. or is there a better way to do this?)

View 1 RepliesI work with Visual studio 2005 and Sql server data base. I extract 1 million rows from a database and I put the rows in a Sql table. With a simple direct extraction, in a few minutes I complete the operation:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.Dispose().
But, if I must select and modify some fields between extraction and introduction, it takes a lot of time!
I work in this way. I extract rows from Dbase, Table1, and I put all into a Collection using dataReader:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql)
Dim coll As New Collection
coll.Clear()
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
I replace some fields with the string "YES".
Dim toRepl As String = ""
If dr.HasRows Then
Do While dr.Read
toRepl = dr(5).ToString
If Len(toRepl) <= 3 Then ToRepl = "YES"
collPrel.Add(dr(0).ToString)
collPrel.Add(dr(1).ToString)
.................. ..............
collPrel.Add(toRepl)
collCount = collCount + 1
Loop
End If
dr.Close()
cmd.Dispose()
Now, I insert all into a SQL Table2:
Dim a As String = "", b As String = "", c As String = "" etc.
For i = 1 To collPrel.Count Step 6
a = collPrel.Item(i).ToString
b = collPrel.Item(i + 1).ToString
.............. ...............
f = collPrel.Item(i + 5).ToString
queryIns = "INSERT INTO Tab (name, adress, etc)
VALUES ('" & a & "', '" & b & "', '" & c & "', etc. )
Dim cmdIns As New SqlCommand(queryIns, cnSql)
cmdIns.CommandTimeout = 600
cmdIns.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmdIns.Dispose()
Next
This way to work goes right but it is necessary a lot of time for completing the operation.
I have a GridView with a SQLDatasource. All of the columns in the gridview are bound to a field. Now they want a column that is not a field returned but would be two of the fields combined together. How can I do this exactly? Can someone show a line of code to display this in a column?

I'm having a strange behavior in my .aspx page. I'm internationalizing some pages, but as I want to keep only entities or value object in my resource I want to have a key-value like:
(pt-br)
CITY - Cidade
STATE - Estado
But when I list the entities, I want to put the " : " at end. Like:
<asp:Label ID="LabelCity" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Localizacao, CITY %>:"></asp:Label>
But, if I put the " : " after the resource in text property, the page only shows " : ".
My simple solution is put after all definition of label, but I think this too wrong:
<asp:Label ID="LabelCity" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Localizacao, CITY %>"></asp:Label>:
I have a web page with an object data source that is connect to an object access layer which retrirevs an Id, Name_En and Name_Local from some table, the object data source is connected to a GirdView, In the girdview i have a template control with a label inside it, i want to change the binding expression for the label depending on the current states of localization so for example if the page is arabic the label should bind to "Name_Local", if it's english then it should bind to "Name_En"

Messages as m on m.MessageID=li.PathMessageID and li.IsActive=1
Can some one suggest me how to concatenate the ntext column....but the above works good if the column MessageText is of nvarchar(max) datatype.
I have been led to believe that the performance benefits of using StringBuilder over normal concatenation means that you should always use stringbuilder when concatenating more than 2 strings. However when I test them this does not seem to be the case. Take these 2 methods
public void TestMethod5()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
string t = string.Empty;
t = "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd" + "dddddddd"; ;
}
}
public void TestMethod6()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
sb.Append("dddddddd");
string t = string.Empty;
t = sb.ToString();
}
}
TestMethod5 takes 0.03 milliseconds so complete but TestMethod6 takes 1.43 milliseconds What is going on?
I need to concatenate several columns of a table into a single value, then show that value in an asp dropdownlist. The SQL code I'm issuing is as follows:
SELECT UserID, CustomerNum, UserName + ' - ' + UserAddress + ',' + UserCity + ' ' + UserState AS UserInfo
FROM Users
WHERE (CustomerNum = @CustomerNum)
ORDER BY UserName
I then set 'UserInfo' as the text field in the dropdownlist.This generally works, except occasionally one of the columns in the database is null (for example, UserState). When that happens, the entire concatenation is null, and I get an empty entry in the dropdownlist.
Is there something in SQLServer that will allow me to ignore those NULL results, or will I have to code something up in the DataBind event?
Trying to localize text in ASP.NET labels... want to add a ':' after the localized text. I could just add the ':' to the localized text in the resource file, but that seems silly... there should be an easy way to do this.
<asp:Label id="RoleTypeLabel" runat="server" Text='<%$ Resources: GS3, RoleTypeLabel %>:' AssociatedControlID="RoleTypeDropDown"></asp:Label>
(note the ':' at the end of Text='...')
Of course, this doesn't work... and neither does anything I can think of to concatenate a ':' onto the end of the localized text.
I'm trying to use jQuery validation for a dynamic form I'm setting up.
In some cases this form contains a set of input boxes which are suppose to total 100.
An example might be:
indicate what percentage of students are in each grade?
Grade 9: TextBox1
Grade 10: TextBox2
Grade 11: TextBox3
Grade 12: TextBox4
I want to verify that TextBox1 + TextBox2 + TextBox3 + TextBox4 = 100%.
How do I go about this?
