Access SQL Query Problem - Pls help

Hi,
I'm connecting to an Access database and have a query which looks somehting like this:
SELECT Accept.ACCEPT_NO,
     Accept.CURRENCY,
     Accept.INT_RATE,
     Accept.F_AMOUNT,
     Accept.DEALER,
     Accept.MATURITY,
     Accept.START_DATE,
     Accept.DEAL_DATE,
     Accept.DEALTICKET,
     Accept.BANK_NAME,
     Accept.CALC_DAYS,
     "2001/11/22" AS CurrentDate
FROM Accept;
It works fine without the line with CurrentDate so i'm sure something's wrong there. What i want to do is set CurrentDate as a constant ("2001/11/22") i dont have any experience with Access so any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

I was able to successfully query an access 97 database using the following SQL:
String sql = "SELECT emp.emp_fname, emp.emp_lname, '2001/11/22' AS CurrentDate FROM emp";don't know why your's wouldn't work. Was there a SQLException? Or are you trying to get it to work using the Access SQL editor?

  • SQL Query Problem - Please Help

    Post Author: nmellick
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hello,
    I am trying to use a query in CR9 to pull the latest date of a DREXAM for each patient.  The patient can have one item or several items.  When I run this query, it only pulls back one record, the latest DREXAM from the whole table, not by patients.  I need it by patients (tracking_id is the patient_id).  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
    Here is the query:select t.tracking_id, t.tracking_group_cd, t.track_event_id, t.requested_dt_tm, t.complete_dt_tm, te.display_keyfrom V500.TRACKING_EVENT t, v500.track_event tewhere t.track_event_id = te.TRACK_EVENT_IDand te.display_key = 'DREXAM'and t.complete_dt_tm = (select max(complete_dt_tm) "MaxDate" from V500.TRACKING_EVENT t, v500.track_event te                        where t.track_event_id = te.TRACK_EVENT_ID                        and te.display_key = 'DREXAM');
    Note:  The tracking_id field shows by patient.  When I run everything up to the last "and" (the complete date), it pulls all rows, which may be more than one per patient.  Basically, I just want the latest DREXAM row per patient.
    Thanks!

  • Urgent: Sessions problem pls help me

    Hi all,
    Its already late to post this problem.pls help me urgently.
    I have a servlet & two jsp's. first i request servlet, it processes something and forwards request to my first jsp. In that jsp on a button click, i'm displaying a new popup by calling showModalDialog. this dialog gets data from the same servlet but it forwards to my second jsp.(second jsp can be seen in dialog)
    Now if i submit form from my second(dialog) jsp, the servlet reports that session has expired. I tried a lot but invain. any one who helps me is appreciated well by all of our forum.
    waiting 4 u r reply,

    It could be that you have cookies turned off and you're not using URL Rewriting.
    In J2EE, the first time your browser makes a request to the server, the server responds and appends a SESSION_ID parameter to the request as well as storing a cookie with the SESSION_ID.
    The second time your browser makes a request, the server checks for the cookie. If it doesn't exist it checks for the parameter. If neither exist the server assumes its the first time your browser has made a request and behaves as describe in the previous paragraph.
    In your case when you submit the form if you have disabled cookies and the action attribute doesn't have the SESSION_ID paramter appended to the url, the browser will assume it's a first request. The user will not be logged in, hence your session has expired error.
    To fix this you need to encode the URL in your JSP. You can use the struts html:rewrite tag or the HttpServletReponse.encodeURL method, or if you're using JSP 2.0 the JSTL c:url tag.

    How to solve this problem, pls help when, I try to see remote camera system(spec dvr) from home. The Error I get is "Dual streaming is required for HTML viewing"

    I had the same probelm and found that the problem lies with 64bit programs such as safari and microsoft internet explorer. I have resolved the issue on my PC based server by using a 32 bit ie and same on my mac by using the same running windows under parallels.
    So far the problem with the 64 bit side of it is still to be resolved.
    Hope this helps and gets you guys up and running until suchtime a 64 bit solution is found.

  • SQL server weird connection problem-Pls help

    I m using SQL server 2005 express. My default logon mode setting is set to-SQL server authentication and I can logon to using SQL server management studio express always. I enabled TCP/IP from SQL server configuration manager. The sqljdbc.jar (JDBC driver) is set correctly in classpath and 1433 port is allowed in windows firewall. YET, I can�t connect to sql server using the following code-
    import java.sql.*; public class testconn { Statement stmt; Connection con = null;       String driver = "jdbc:sqlserver://"; String server = "localhost:1433;"; String db = "database=IDLC-Customer;"; String user = "userName=Tanvir;"; String pwd = "password=abcd;"; String connectName = driver + server + db + user + pwd;    testconn() { try {       Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");       con= DriverManager.getConnection(connectName);       stmt=con.createStatement();       if(!con.isClosed())         System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +           "SQL server using TCP/IP...");     } catch(Exception e) {       System.err.println("Exception: " + e);    }     finally {    try {         if(con != null)           con.close();         } catch(SQLException e) {}    }        }   public static void main(String args[]) {       testconn tc=new testconn();   } }
    My host name is- Tanvir. So, in management studio express the server name is shown- TANVIR\SQLEXPRESS
    When I run the code it says-The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed.
    Java.net.connectException:Connection Refused: Connect
    One more thing, though 1433 port is allowed in windows firewall, I can�t connect to that port using telnet (e.g. telnet <server_host> 1433).I even disabled firewall and tried but in vain. PLEASE help me brother.

    Then you, seemingly, have not configured your SQL server properly, or you have not "activated" that configuration.
    (don't ask because I don't know how, or even if, you do it that way with SQL Server).
    But, not being able to connect with telnet, means that nothing is listening on that port. What does the netstat command tell you?Brother,as u know that sql server use the default port 1433 even if i don't mention it.And I tried disabling my firewall and antivirus but yet I cant connect.I searched the ports using "Advanced port scanner" but the port 1433 is neither in its open ports list nor in closed port list. WHat can I do now.The port 1433 is by default used by sql server.So even if I dont mention it or set it, it should work.Isn't it? I m getting out of my mind, pls help .

    This query will never work. I marked only couple of errors you have there. Actually,
    I meant "formating" errors rather than "syntactical" errors. You are missing spaces
    all over the place. This is why I suggested to use a CLOB column in a test table
    to return the query for debugging purposes - this is how I do it at least, when I need
    to escape and concatenate a lot of code.
    If you are referencing item values from a user session in a function or a procedure,
    then you need to use the v('ITEM') syntax instead of :ITEM syntax. However, if the
    output of this procedure will be used as a function returning SQL query, you will
    be fine with :ITEM.

    hi,
    Help me out from this problem.
    Actually i have a table and the data in it as follows:
    Department Name Job Name
    Accounts Sr. Accountant
    Accounts Jr. Accountant
    Accounts Cleark
    But i dont want the repeated Department Name.. and i want the same output as follows.
    Department Name Job Name
    Accounts Sr. Accountant
    Jr. Accountant
    Cleark

    Thanks in Advance
    Md Anwer Ali

    I shouldn't try to code before I have had at least three cups of coffee. The actual answer is:
    select decode(department,lag(department) over (order by department),null,department)
    , job
    from departments
    order by department.
    I ran this:
    select decode(job,lag(job) over (order by job),null,job)
    , ename
    from emp
    order by job
    and got this result:

  • Rewriting a Access SQL-query to get it working in JDBC?!

    The following select-query works for me in Access:
    SELECT * FROM aWoord WHERE Woord LIKE 'a[!f,p][!n][a-z][a-z][a-z]';
    aWoord contains 6-letter woords starting with a.
    But when I use this in
    Driver driver = new JdbcOdbcDriver();
    Properties info = new Properties();
    String url = "jdbc:odbc:" + dsn;
    con = driver.connect(url,info);
    if (con != null)
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    And then
    ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
    In which sql is the above Access SQL string. It doesn't produce any results! I know the problem lies in the "Like-part" can't I use [!p] in JDBC?! Or should I use a different notation?
    Stijn.

    My connection is ok, because I can get results if I use a "simple statement" like:
    "SELECT * FROM aWoord;"
    This gives me the total content of the table aWoord.
    But when I use the statement mentioned above it doesn't work.
    This also doesn't work:
    "SELECT * FROM aWoord WHERE Woord LIKE '*';"
    I have to use the following:
    "SELECT * FROM aWoord WHERE Woord LIKE '%';"
    I know * is a wildcard for DAO and % for ADO but the database is an Access database thus DAO or not!?
    Stijn.

  • Import problem,pls help!

    Hi,there,
    I'm new guy here,I'v got a problem about Import in table mode,I found I can import back all records successfully, but it just appends all records into the orignal table,not overwrite
    it,for example, I made a export for a table with 2 records, after then I added some records into that table,
    finally I made an import for that table, I found the
    total of records is not recovered to 2,but just append
    the records from export file,why can't I recover it to 2
    record? pls help me,thanks!

    All that import does is to run a bunch of SQL statements based on the content of the export file. If you look at the export file in an editor (if its small), or through type (on Windoze) or more on *NIX you will see stuff like:
    CREATE TABLE x STORAGE ( ...)
    INSERT INTO x col12,col2, ...
    VALUES (:b1,:b2, ...
    If you give imp the paramter ignore=Y, then the error generated by the CREATE TABLE (table already exists) will be suppressed, but the ata will be inserted. Note that there are no DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE commands in the export file.
    If you want to restore your database to a particular point in time using import, then you will need to manually drop or truncate the tables first. You can generate the required sql from the data dictionary. something like
    SET lines 1000 pages 0 feedback off trimspool on;
    SPOOL drop.sql;
    SELECT 'DROP TABLE '||table_name||';'
    FROM user_tables;
    SPOOL OFF;
    @drop.sqlHTH

  • Installation problem, pls help

    I am trying to install Oracle 10g on SUSE 10.0.0 but when i run the ./runInstaller command, I receive an[b] error of writting to directory /tmp/OraInstall2006-03........, Please ensure this directory is writable and at least 60MB of disk space, i have checked for space using df -h /tmp, there is enough space, i think the problem has got to do with permission because @ the moment it belongs to root user, i don't know what to do, i am a novice to unix and need to install oracle today. Pls help
    Usually the standard install of SuSE Linux should set the ownership and access rights to /tmp, if you want to give access to everyone on the system, just use this command (if owner/root access is available):
    I have used chmod o+rwx /tmp command and still having the same error. Pls somebody help
    chmod o+rwx /tmp

    Of course I assume you did correctly follow installation and configuration instructions. Did you read Oracle10g/Linux Errors and Problems from Werner Puschitz ?

  • Audio+Video Chat works but one small problem.Pls help.

    HI..
    as i had posted once before in a different query's thread, i have implemented audio and video chat using AVTRansmit2 and avreceive2.
    audio and video chat work well.By video chat i mean not only video but VIDEO+AUDIO as well.. just like usual yahoo video chat.
    But the problem is like this:-=
    I have given an option for user to switch from audio chat to video chat.
    now if a user first goes to audio chat and then switched to video chat,
    then the problem comes. When he's shifted to video chat i close down previous Audio chat by RTPManager.dispose() , i close the player and everything..
    and then i start Video transmit/receive "ALONG WITH" audio transmit/receive..
    No this time video starts but audio doesnt work ..
    it says"waiting for rtp data to arrive.... "
    The problem is that when this new stream of audio data comes, the receiver somehow thinks that its the same old stream since its from same transmitter IP.. and so it tries to UPDATE the previous stream.
    It means there is some problem with the close method or RTPManager.dispose() which should have disposed off all the stuff much before the new connection was made.
    PLS HELP ASAP>
    this is crunch time for my project.

    Hi anandreyvk . .
    well, i had tried doing removetargets and also, i had disposed RTPManager well. As it turns out the problem was not with any of it but it was the problem of me incorrectly passing RTPManager from AVReceive2 to AVTransmit2.
    Actually i am using just one RTPManager.. since i am receiving and transmitting on the same port.
    i've solved the problem but i am not sure if this is the right way .. what do you think ??
    is creating just one RTPManager {by that,i mean initializing it only once} a good idea ?? Since we are supposed to call both AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 with the "LOCAL PORT" .. {which in itself is a matter of discussion though! } i and my project mate thought initializing RTPManager only once is a better option .
    Whats your take on all of this ?

  • SQL query problem - select max (case... aggregate function)

    Hi,
    I have a problem with below sql query, it gives me problem/error message 'ORA-00937: not a single-group group function', why?
    select sag.afdeling, sag.sagsnr, to_char(sag.start_dato, 'yyyy-mm-dd'), sag.stat, BOGF_TRANS.TRANSTYPE,

  • A challenging dynamic SQL query problem

    hi All,
    I have a very interesting problem at work:
    We have this particular table defined as follows :
    CREATE TABLE sales_data (
    sales_id NUMBER,
    sales_m01 NUMBER,
    sales_m02 NUMBER,
    sales_m03 NUMBER,
    sales_m04 NUMBER,
    sales_m05 NUMBER,
    sales_m06 NUMBER,
    sales_m07 NUMBER,
    sales_m08 NUMBER,
    sales_m09 NUMBER,
    sales_m10 NUMBER,
    sales_m11 NUMBER,
    sales_m12 NUMBER,
    sales_prior_yr NUMBER );
    The columns 'sales_m01 ..... sales_m12' represents aggregated monthly sales, in which 'sales_m01' translates to 'sales for the month of january, january being the first month, 'sales_m02' sales for the month of february, and so on.
    The problem I face is that we have a project which requires that a parameter be passed to a stored procedure which stands for the month number which is then used to build a SQL query with the following required field aggregations, which depends on the parameter passed :
    Sample 1 : parameter input: 4
    Dynamically-built SQL query should be :
    SELECT
    SUM(sales_m04) as CURRENT_SALES,
    SUM(sales_m01+sales_m02+sales_m03+sales_m04) SALES_YTD
    FROM
    sales_data
    WHERE
    sales_id = '0599768';
    Sample 2 : parameter input: 8
    Dynamically-built SQL query should be :
    SELECT
    SUM(sales_m08) as CURRENT_SALES,
    SUM(sales_m01+sales_m02+sales_m03+sales_m04+
    sales_m05+sales_m06+sales_m07+sales_m08) SALES_YTD
    FROM
    sales_data
    WHERE
    sales_id = '0599768';
    So in a sense, the contents of SUM(sales_m01 ....n) would vary depending on the parameter passed, which should be a number between 1 .. 12 which corresponds to a month, which in turn corresponds to an actual field range on the table itself. The resulting dynamic query should only aggregate those columns/fields in the table which falls within the range given by the input parameter and disregards all the remaining columns/fields.
    Any solution is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi another simpler approach is using decode
    try like this
    SQL> CREATE TABLE sales_data (
      2  sales_id NUMBER,

      7  sales_m05 NUMBER,
      8  sales_m06 NUMBER,
      9  sales_m07 NUMBER,
    10  sales_m08 NUMBER,
    11  sales_m09 NUMBER,
    12  sales_m10 NUMBER,
    13  sales_m11 NUMBER,
    14  sales_m12 NUMBER,
