The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Passing string data into a function for use in IN clause

Asked by ahn831 in MS SQL Server

Tags: clause, function, like, pass

Hello,

I'm working on a calendar component that has different categoryies for the events on the calendar. I need to be able to select all, or some of the categories when displaying the calendar. I have a function written that should do this:

GetCalData(DispDate datetime, CalendarID int, CategoryIDs varchar(100))

and what I'd like to do is put something like 4,12,16,20,25 in the CategoryIDs variable and enclose that in an IN, similar to:

SELECT * FROM Events WHERE (CalendarID = @CalendarID) AND (EventDate BETWEEN @DispDate AND DateAdd(m,1,@DispDate)) AND (CategoryID IN(4,12,16,20,25))
(I don't have the exact code in front of me so please forgive any syntactical errors [ie, with DateAdd])

I can't seem to get this to work because the CategoryID is an interger field in the database. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I'd do this? I'm trying to avoid limiting the number of Category's allowed to be displayed, and think I've tried everything.

Thank you very much.Start Free Trial
