I want to retrieve data of 'Match' and 'Average' columns from the following table if '2'
exists using LIKE.
I have tried by writing the following query but it failed.
SELECT * FROM batsman_profile
WHERE (Match LIKE '%2%') AND (Average LIKE '%2%');
Can anyone help me how to retrieve data as I want.
In order to treat these numbers as a String you should use function CONVERT(varchar(10), field_name) like this:
SELECT *
FROM batsman_profile
WHERE (CONVERT(varchar(10), Match) LIKE '%2%')
AND
(CONVERT(varchar(10), Average) LIKE '%2%');

a is value entered by user.
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM table WHERE Column-name LIKE ?', ('%{}%'.format(a,))
The database must show value matching with entered value. It shows for one column only. I want to retrieve record for more than one column. Need to use OR operator but not sure the syntax. Could anyone plz help me.
Just expand the where clause with more conditions, separated by OR - accordingly, you need to repeat the bind parameters:
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 LIKE ? OR col2 LIKE ?', ('%{}%'.format(a, a))
We have a spreadsheet that gets updated monthly, which queries some data from our server.
The query url looks like this:
http://example.com/?2016-01-31
The returned data is in a json format, like below:
{"CID":"1160","date":"2016-01-31","rate":{"USD":1.22}}
We only need the value of 1.22 from the above and I can get that inserted into the worksheet with no problem.
My questions:
1. How to use a cell value [contain the date] to pass the date parameter [2016-01-31] in the query and displays the result in the cell next to it.
2. There's a long list of dates in a column, can this query be filled down automatically per each date?
3. When I load the query result to the worksheet, it always load in pairs. [taking up two cells, one says "Value", the other contains the value which is "1.22" in my case]. Ideally I would only need "1.22", not the title, can this be removed? [Del won't work, will give you a "Column 1" instead, or you have to hide the entire row which will mess up with the layout].
I know this is a lot to ask but I've tried a lot of search and reading in the last few days and I have to say the M language beats me.
Thanks in advance.
Convert your Web.Contents() request into a function:
let
myFunct = ( param as date ) => let
x = Web.Contents(.... & Date.ToText(date) & ....)
in
x
in
myFunct
Reference your data request function from a new query, include any transformations you need (in this case JSON.Document, table expansions, remove extraneous data. Feel free to delete all the extra data here, including columns that just contain the label 'value'.
(assuming your table of domain values already exists) add a custom column like
=Expand(myFunct( [someparameter] ))
edit: got home and got into my bookmarks. Here is a more detailed reference for what you are looking to do: http://datachix.com/2014/05/22/power-query-functions-some-scenarios/
For a table - Add column where you get data and parse JSON
let
tt=#table(
{"date"},{
{"2017-01-01"},
{"2017-01-02"},
{"2017-01-03"}
}),
add_col = Table.AddColumn(tt, "USD", each Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://example.com/?date="&[date]))[rate][USD])
in
add_col
If you need only one value
Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://example.com/?date="&YOUR_DATE_STRING))[rate][USD]
I am a beginner in cognos 10. I want to know how to get the value of a prompt from a Query1 and use it on Query2. My requirement is I want a prompt to ask the year for which I want the data in Query1 and in Query2 I want the data relevant to the previous year to that entered in the prompt. How to do that?
You can use the same parameter (tied to the prompt) in filters in both queries. If your parameter is Parameter1 and contains a four-digit year, and your data item in your filter is [Year] then your Query1 filter might look like this:
[Year] = ?Parameter1?
Your Query2 filter would be:
[Year] = ?Parameter1? - 1
Depending on your data source you may have to cast the string parameter to an integer before doing the subtraction though most SQL implementations will implicitly convert the string parameter to an integer for you.
I have an ODBC connection, which simply queries a SQL table:
SELECT * FROM [TABLE] WHERE myDate = ?
If I run the query in MS Query, it prompts for a date and I can just enter 4/2/2015 and it returns 4/2/2015 data perfectly
I have the parameter set to read from cell (B1):
=WorkSheetName!$B$1
When I switch back to Excel and put 4/2/2015 in B1 and then refresh - it gives me a conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string error.
I tried editing my query to WHERE CONVERT(Varchar(10),myDate,101) = ? but had no luck. Not sure why I am getting this, seems like it should be so simple.
I appreciate the feedback I was getting - but it turned out to be something very simple on my part that I was overlooking. The actual cell I was keeping my date was formatted as a date, and giving a conversion error. Once I formatted it to a text cell, it returned the data properly for the given date. Thanks
The filter part must be padded with # while trying to use Date as a filter.
It should be like
SELECT * FROM [TABLE] WHERE myDate = #4/2/2015#
Converting the "myDate" column to "Smalldatetime" format should work for you.
Try this:
SELECT * FROM [TABLE] WHERE Cast(myDate as smalldatetime) = ?
Thanks
I am using the following InnoDB tables in mysql to describe records that can have multiple searchtags associated with them:
TABLE records
ID
title
desc
TABLE searchTags
ID
name
TABLE recordSearchTags
recordID
searchTagID
To SELECT records based on arbitrary search input, I have a statement that looks sort of like this:
SELECT
recordSearchTags.recordID
FROM
recordSearchTags
LEFT JOIN searchTags
ON recordSearchTags.searchTagID = searchTags.ID
WHERE
searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search1','%') OR
searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search2','%') OR
searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search3','%') OR
searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search4','%');
I'd like to ORDER this resultset, so that rows that match with more search terms are displayed in front of rows that match with fewer search terms.
For example, if a row matches all 4 search terms, it will be top of the list. A row that matches only 2 search terms will be somewhere in the middle. And a row that matches just one search term will be at the end.
Any suggestions on what is the best way to do this?
Thanks!
* Replaced answer, since fulltext isn't an option
Alright, it's not pretty, but you should be able to do something like this:
ORDER BY (searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search1','%')
+ searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search2','%')
+ searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search3','%')
+ searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search4','%'))
DESC;
LIKE returns 1 on a match or 0 if there is no match, so you should just be able to add the results together.
This isn't very pretty but one way would be to union the 4 likes in 4 statements like
select ... where searchTags.name LIKE CONCAT('%','$search1','%')
union
select ...
and so on. Wrap that in a:
select recordSearchTags.recordID, count(*) from (<inner unions>)
group by recordSearchTags.recordID
order by count(*)
