There is an Issue while i try to auto Increment alphanumeric Id (or number Series) for example
in Mysql "Sample" Table 'RefNo' column (of type Varchar)
AB7
AB10
AB9
AB8
above i have four entries now i want to retrieve max (or highest value).
for this i have tried query as = SELECT MAX(RefNo) FROM sample;
but this gives result as 'AB9' which is wrong and it is supposed to return 'AB10' as result.
To get this in Mysql i have modified the Query as
= SELECT MAX(CONVERT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(RefNo,'B',-1),UNSIGNED INTEGER)) from sample where RefNo like 'AB%'
this work's fine in mysql but in hibernate (hql) query is not supported.
I hope you understand the scenerio and Please help me to solve the issue.
You should be able to use substring and cast to get the numeric part of the string and cast it to a number. Something like that (not tested) :
select max(cast(substring(sample.refNo, 3) as INTEGER)) from Sample sample ...

I have above table and I want to get the highest value from table bids where bid_id=60 using the following query
SELECT MAX(offer_amount) as maz FROM bids WHERE bid_id = 60
The problem is I'm getting the result as 80 in instead of the correct value which is 7000000
Anybody with an idea of how to solve this?
Store offer_amount in a numeric field (such as integer or decimal), not as text. Quick solution is to use the CAST() function in the query to cast the field's data type to a numeric one.
This case is similar to: S.O Question; mySQL returns all rows when field=0, and the Accepted answer was a very simple trick, to souround the ZERO with single quotes
FROM:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE email=0
TO:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE email='0'
However, my case is slightly different in that my Query is something like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE email=(
SELECT my_column_value FROM myTable WHERE my_column_value=0 AND user_id =15 LIMIT 1 )
Which in a sense, becomes like simply saying: SELECT * FROM table WHERE email=0, but now with a Second Query.
PLEASE NOTE: It is a MUST that I use the SECOND QUERY.
When I tried: SELECT * FROM table WHERE email='( SELECT my_column_value FROM myTable WHERE my_column_value=0 LIMIT 1 )' (Notice the Single Quotes on the second query)
MySql SCREAMED Errors near '(.
How can this be achieved
Any Suggestion is highly honored
EDIT1: For a visual perspective of the Query
See the STEN_TB here: http://snag.gy/Rq8dq.jpg
Now, the main aim is to get the sten_h where rawscore_h = 0;
The CURRENT QUERY as a whole.
SELECT sten_h
FROM sten_tb
WHERE rawscore_h = (
SELECT `for_print_stens_rowscore`
FROM `for_print_stens_tb`
WHERE `for_print_stens_student_id` =3
AND `for_print_stens_factor_name` = 'Factor H' )
The result of the Second Query can be any number including ZERO.
Any number from >=1 Works and returns a single corresponding value from sten_h. Only =0 does not Work, it returns all rows
That's the issue.
CORRECT ANSWER OR SOLUTION FOR THIS
Just in case someone ends up in this paradox, the Accepted answer has it all.

I believe your issue is with implicit datatype conversions. You can make those datatype conversions explicit, to gain control.
(The "trick" with wrapping a literal 0 in single quotes, that makes the literal a string literal, rather than a numeric.)
In the more general case, you can use a CAST or CONVERT function to explicitly specify a datatype conversion. You can use an expression in place of a column name, wherever you need to...
For example, to get the value returned by my_column_value to match the datatype of the email column, assuming email is character type, something like:
... email = (SELECT CONVERT(my_column_value,CHAR(255)) FROM myTable WHERE ...
or, to get the a literal integer value to be a string value:
... FROM myTable WHERE my_column_value = CONVERT(0,CHAR(30)) ...
If email and my_column_value are just indicating true or false then they should almost certainly be both BIT NOT NULL or other two-value type that your schema uses for booleans. (Your ORM may use a particular one.) Casting is frequently a hack made necessary by a poor design.
If it should be a particular user then you shouldn't use LIMIT because tables are unordered and that doesn't return a particular user. Explain in your question what your query is supposed to return including exactly what you mean by "15th".
(Having all those similar columns is bad design: rawscore_a, sten_a, rawscore_b, sten_b,... . Use a table with two columns: rawscore, sten.)
Previously I was using the MySQL. With that I was able to use the query below to get the maximum number from the database.
Here 'No' is the varchar(10):
SELECT max(cast(No as unsigned)) as No FROM `tableName` LIMIT 1
The above query working fine in MySQL. I want to do the same thing in the MS SQL. When I run the same query, I get the following error:
Warning: sqlsrv_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
Any advice on this?
There is no LIMIT in SQL Server, no unsigned datatype, and no need to quote the table name.
Does this work:
SELECT max(cast(No as bigint)) as No FROM tableName
I am using the following query, it is showing the empty result but the record exist in table.
Please let me know how can do it
select * from wp_rg_lead_detail where lead_id=5047 and field_number=1.6
select * from wp_rg_lead_detail where lead_id=5047 and field_number=1.6
in both case query return the empty result.but data exist in table.
data type of the field_number is float in database.
Change the column to to decimal or numeric,they store exact numeric data values.Floats are always approximative numbers(in the way that are stored)
EDIT:Try it like this
select * from wp_rg_lead_detail where lead_id=5047 and format(field_number,1)=1.6
I am trying to query a table in mysql based on the length of a string in a specific column. I know mysql has a function called LENGTH(), but that returns the length of the string. I want to be able to pull data based on the result of the LENGTH() function.
Example:
SELECT * table WHERE LENGTH(word) = 6
of course that does not work. I read through http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function%5Flength but could not find anything to help me.
yes I could make something in PhP to accomplish this, but I would like to do it at the query level.
Any help?
Try:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE LENGTH(RTRIM(word)) = 6
I believe you wanted to use query SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE LENGTH(word) = 6; (assuming that the word is name of column in tableName).
This is very unfortunate solution on large tables, you should create new column and use UPDATE tableName SET wordLength = LENGTH( word).
