  • RE: Select query

    Hi Biren,

    Something like

    SELECT Brand,URL FROM Table

    UNION

    SELECT Model,URL FROM Table

    UNION

    SELECT Category,URL FROM Table

    UNION

    SELECT ColorCode,URL FROM Table

    should do it. Are you concerned about the order of records?

  • RE: SQL QUERY

    Sometimes, as was the case with your query, people put an alias after the server.database.schema.table construct. That's why you see "TASKS", "STAF" and "TIUSER" there twice in succession. Yours isn;t...

    Sure, the tables used are:

    Database: TRACKIT_DATA

  • RE: Percentage value not appearing

    It will be to do with data types. You need one of the operands to be non-integer to get this to work. Try this:

    SELECT 665/12

    SELECT CAST(665 AS MONEY)/12
