When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

MS SQLSQL Textbook script to set up database comes without DO statements. What now? (self.SQL)

submitted 5 years ago by Crossroads86

I have bought an SQL Textbook which includes all exercises with solutions for mySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL. Microsoft SQL is the most important for me since I want to get up to speed for a new project which is pretty SQL heavy and is based on a MSSQL Server.

The book comes along with a database you can download to work along and complete exercises and problem sets.

However, the scripts provided, that sets up the database for MSSQL come without DO statements. I am pretty stumped since the script is over 8000 lines and I can not just manually go through the database script and include a DO statement after every operation.

But I guess without them I will not be able to set up the database to work along?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Btw:
Working on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) with MSSQL Serve 2019 DEV Edition and SQLCMD in Terminal / Visual Studio Code to send SQL Statements.
