Hariharan,

He doesn't say he wants the page number. Couldn't it be that the words go across two different pages?

Of course, it depends on the actual context of the query.

Using a stored procedure doesn't stop people from having access to the table as well though. Although, in SQL2005 you can tell the stored procedure to execute to impersonate an...

If you can't assume that wsequence is going to be x, x+1, x+2 in the case you want, then you might have to use a rownumber field on the table....

If you store the 'met' field for each day, then could you rephrase what you're looking for as:

In SQL2005 with 'rownumber' introduced, you'll be able to do it without even thinking.

However, in SQL2000 you would need to make a rownumber function for yourself.

Then you've missed a space from what I wrote. Here it is with * instead of space.

Replace(Replace(Convert(Char(6),@thedate,109),'**','0'),'*','')

The concept is that you need to find the scenario where there are 2...

Try this:

declare @thedate datetime

set @thedate = '4/25/05'

--set @thedate = getdate()

--set @thedate = '20050425'

--set @thedate = '20050401'

--set @thedate = '1-Apr-2005'

Select replace(Replace(Convert(Char(6),@thedate,109),' ','0'),' ','')

This is using a similar scenario, but first...

As suggested earlier, try doing the whole thing in a stored procedure, rather than calling the stored procedure 12 times. Then you can easily track what is happening to your...

Yes, but if you want count how many loans there are...

Wow... when I need to pad in SQL, I just use the 'right' function.

SUBSTRING( DATENAME(month, '01/01/2005'), 1, 3) + right('0' + DATENAME( day, '01/01/2005'),2)

I think you're mistaken here, Chris. If you create a cursor in an exec() statement, you can access it afterwards. Very handy thing, although I'm not sure it's actually by...

You can probably get around it by doing "count(distinct B.Loan_Nbr)" instead of "count(B.loan_type)"

Does this help?

Or if you are needing to group by, etc... ie, you can only order by the field that's in your select query, then convert it back to a datetime field!...

A few things...

You have an extra comma in the line:

set @sql=('declare my_cur cursor for select , ID , date from dbo. ' +@TABLENAME)

Try:
