I am using Visual Studio and experimenting with SQL server databases. I can
connect to Northwind and Pubs (the samples) and do simple selections on
them. At work we have a personnel database which I am tesing at home. I
can connect to it and explore the contents but when I run this
SELECT [acadyear_setup_id], [narrative], [census_date], [age

FROM [ascis_acadyear_setup]
I get the error invlaid object name ascis_acadyear_setup
What am I doing wrong?Seems that either the object doesn=B4t exist or you are connected to the
wrong database (ont the object surely doesn=B4t exists there). Try to
check this.

I can't speak for Jens but I believe his reply was quite polite with no
'slapping' intended. As you can see, he is trying to help you in your other
thread.
Multi-posting is a common mistake newbies make and it's appropriate to point
this out so that it can be avoided it in the future. With multiple
independent threads, there's a lot of duplicate effort going on to help you
out.
If you need to post the same question to different forums, you can
cross-post by specify multiple newsgroups in the list and replies will
appear in the all the forums posted.
Hope this helps.

Newbie question
Hi,
Can one Full-Text Catalog apply to more than one tables?
e.g. I need Full-Text Catalog in Northwind that needs to apply to
Customers and Categories table, should I create one Catalog for two tables or
one catelog for each table?
what is the difference?
Thanks a lot
Ed
Hi Ed,
Yes, a FT Catalog can have more than one table in it, but the reverse (one
table in more than one FT Catalog) is not true.
For the Northwind example, you can do either, but for a better explanation
on the issues see, the last paragraph in the SQL Server 2000 BOL title
"Full-text Search Recommendations".
Regards,
John

It's possible that the object owner is not yourself or dbo. Try the
following:
select
table_schema
from
information_schema.tables
where
table_name = 'ascis_acadyear_setup'
This will tell you who the owner is. Then use two-part naming:
SELECT [acadyear_setup_id], [narrative], [census_date], [age_as_at_date]
FROM [TheOwner].[ascis_acadyear_setup]

Newbie question
Apolgies if this seems obvious.
I am using Visual Studio and experimenting with SQL server databases. I can
connect to Northwind and Pubs (the samples) and do simple selections on
them. At work we have a personnel database which I am tesing at home. I
can connect to it and explore the contents but when I run this
SELECT [acadyear_setup_id], [narrative], [census_date], [age
_as_at_date]
FROM [ascis_acadyear_setup]
I get the error invlaid object name ascis_acadyear_setup
What am I doing wrong?It's possible that the object owner is not yourself or dbo. Try the
following:
select
table_schema
from
information_schema.tables
where
table_name = 'ascis_acadyear_setup'
This will tell you who the owner is. Then use two-part naming:
SELECT [acadyear_setup_id], [narrative], [census_date], [age
_as_at_date]
FROM [TheOwner].[ascis_acadyear_setup]

I can't speak for Jens but I believe his reply was quite polite with no
'slapping' intended. As you can see, he is trying to help you in your other
thread.
Multi-posting is a common mistake newbies make and it's appropriate to point
this out so that it can be avoided it in the future. With multiple
independent threads, there's a lot of duplicate effort going on to help you
out.
If you need to post the same question to different forums, you can
cross-post by specify multiple newsgroups in the list and replies will
appear in the all the forums posted.
Hope this helps.

I can't speak for Jens but I believe his reply was quite polite with no
'slapping' intended. As you can see, he is trying to help you in your other
thread.
Multi-posting is a common mistake newbies make and it's appropriate to point
this out so that it can be avoided it in the future. With multiple
independent threads, there's a lot of duplicate effort going on to help you
out.
If you need to post the same question to different forums, you can
cross-post by specify multiple newsgroups in the list and replies will
appear in the all the forums posted.

Newbie - Whats wrong with following?
Hi,
This simple code using the Northwind db and SQL 2000...when I have the 2nd
from botton line commented out as I do now it works well and give me a
summary of the orders and totals from the [order details] table, nothing
special there.
However, if I uncomment the 'where ordervalue > 500' line and run it I get
an error that says "Invalid column name 'ordervalue' "
Any ideas?
Thanks,
td.
select
o.orderid
,o.orderdate
,c.companyname
,sum(unitprice * quantity) as ordervalue
from
orders o
join
customers c
on
o.customerid = c.customerid
join
[order details] od
on o.orderid = od.orderid
--where ordervalue > 500
group by o.orderid, c.companyname, o.orderdate"toedipper" <send_rubbish_here734@.hotmail.com> wrote in message

it is a bit complicated, but to get a useful error message try this instead
when joining you cant use a where on an agregate like that because the
column may not exist, it is based on the results
select
o.orderid
,o.orderdate
,c.companyname
,sum(unitprice * quantity) as ordervalue
from
orders o
join
customers c
on
o.customerid = c.customerid
join
[order details] od
on o.orderid = od.orderid
where sum(unitprice * quantity) > 500
group by o.orderid, c.companyname, o.orderdate
and here is how to make it work;
select
o.orderid
,o.orderdate
,c.companyname
,sum(od.unitprice * od.quantity) as ordervalue
from
orders o
join
customers c
on
o.customerid = c.customerid
join
[order details] od
on o.orderid = od.orderid
group by o.orderid, c.companyname, o.orderdate
having sum(od.unitprice * od.quantity) > 500
|||Thanks a lot, done the trick.

The only place in the query where you can use an alias is in the ORDER
BY clause.
However, you can use a derived table:
SELECT orderid, orderdate, companyname, ordervalue
FROM (select
o.orderid
,o.orderdate
,c.companyname
,sum(unitprice * quantity) as ordervalue
from
orders o
join
customers c
on
o.customerid = c.customerid
join
[order details] od
on o.orderid = od.orderid
group by o.orderid, c.companyname, o.orderdate) AS x
where ordervalue > 500
Another way is to write the query as:
select
o.orderid
,o.orderdate
,c.companyname
,sum(unitprice * quantity) as ordervalue
from
orders o
join
customers c
on
o.customerid = c.customerid
join
[order details] od
on o.orderid = od.orderid
group by o.orderid, c.companyname, o.orderdate
having SUM(UnitPrice * Quantity) > 500

Newbie - Student - Help
I am working on an assignment that was due at midnight. The question is usi
ng the "Northwind database write the following SQL statements to be executed
against on of the tables within the "Northwind database"
a.) Alter a table and add a column
b.) Alter a table and add a constraint
c.) Alter a table and add an index
What I have so far is:
USE Northwind
ALTER TABLE Employees ADD COLUMN TerminationDate DateTime NULL
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
I keep getting "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'"
What am I doing wrong? If I can not get part 'a' then I will never get the
rest of the assignment.
Thanks in advance,

Have you checked Books online, the help that comes with SQL Server?
Using that you should be able to work the syntax out! Or check eg.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...
server2000.asp
if you don't have access to BOL.
Other than that, try losing the 'COLUMN' part.

Thank you, all I did is take out 'COLUMN' and it works. I have been
wracking my brain for hours over this.

deannac24@.cableone.net|||OK, thanks for your help so far but now I am stuck on the final one. I am
trying to add an index. So far I have:
use Northwind
ALTER TABLE Employees ADD [idxAddress] nvarchar(60), Address nvarchar(60)
the error I get is
Server: Msg 2705, level 16, State 4, Line 3
Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'Address' in table
'Employees' is specified more than once.
I have tried this on many different fields including the primary keys and
still get this same error. I have even pulled up the data to check for
replication and did not find any. I am lost. I finally, thanks to help,
have part a and b, however I need part c. When I get that I can actually
get some sleep before the sun, and my children, get up ;-)

You should look for help on creating an index, not 'ALTER TABLE'...
The assignment question seemed to indicate an 'ALTER TABLE', but
you should really search for help on 'index' instead, that would
give you your desired answer!

Newbie - SqlConnection statement
I'm trying to get a combobox to fill with values from a table. I've
set up an example using the Northwind database with the Categories
table. Dragging in the CategoryID field onto my form as a combobox,
I've set the following properties for the CategoryID combobox:
Value member = "CategoriesBindingSource - CategoryID"
Display Member = "CategoriesBindingSource - CategoryID"
This seems to bring in the correct values in the two non-index fields
(CategoryName and Description). I've then added the following code to
the combobox:
Dim Conn As SqlConnection
Conn = New SqlConnection("Database=Northwnd.mdf")
'Conn.Open()
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT
CategoryID FROM Categories", Conn)
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, "Categories")
CategoryIDComboBox.DataSource = ds
'CategoryIDComboBox.ValueMember = "CategoryID"
'CategoryIDComboBox.DisplayMember = "CategoryID"
End Sub
The lines that are commented out are other ideas that I've tried to no
avail. I left them here in case they are relevant.
I suspect that at least part of my problem is in the SqlDataAdapter
statement where I am pointing to the database. I am working on a
standalone pc.
Can anybody see where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
