A Query That Is Over My Head...
Dec 8, 2005
Question:
How do I return a list of items that matches one or more criteria that I pass in?
Background:
A user enters a sales lead (a company is looking for a place to have their event). That lead has a number of
criteria elements (start date, end date, city, region, maximum room rate, one or more amenities, etc. - more
details below) that should be used when trying to find Hotels that match that criteria. Obviously, some
criteria is more important than others (city, start and end date are more important than the maximum room
rate) - and it's unlikely that many (if any) of the Hotels will match *all* of the criteria entered by the
user. So, I'm looking to return a list of Hotels that match at least one of the criteria - if possible,
ordered by how many criteria elements match.
What makes this query particularly difficult, is that some of the criteria to match are stored in multiple
tables. For example, each Hotel has "Amenities" (Golf, Spa, etc.) - that are stored in a seperate table.
When a user enters a lead, they select which amenities they want to match. Also, a lead specifies a number
of rooms to block for each day between the Arrival and Departure date - these numbers can change from day
to day - but for this query - I think it's acceptible to get the largest number of rooms needed from any of
the days and compare that one number against the "MaxDailyRoomBlock" field of a Hotel (represented by the
"Property" table). Also, since a Hotel has different rates defined for each season, the query will have to
match the "MaxRate" against the rate of the correct season based on the Arrival and Departure dates. Also,
the rate can be within 20% of the stated "MaxRate".
Here are the following variables that will be passed into the query as criteria items:
RequestCity, RegionINDEID, ArrivalDate, DepartureDate, MaxRate, MaxTheaterSeating, MaxBanquetSeating,
MaxSchoolSeating, MaxBreakoutRooms, MaxRoomBlock
I know this is a huge post - and I sincerly appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello!
I try to execute the below statement on a column, I've been trying on a row where subType3 contains this string ",31,32,34,23,55,54,39,44,51,52," without the ",. The column is declared as varchar(MAX)
SELECT subType3 FROM aTable WHERE CONTAINS(subType3, '32')
The above statement executes and returns the result as expected, BUT if I execute this:
SELECT subType3 FROM aTable WHERE CONTAINS(subType3, '55')
then nothing is returned. I can't see any real pattern, 32, 34 and 54 returns the row. If I try with any of the others nothing is returned....Why is this?
I sort of need to use contains, if I dont wan't to start chopping up the string and patindex or something like that. Patindex works by the way, but when I have many values then it gets a bit cumbersome using anything else than contains.
Thanks for any and all help,
Cheers!

Hi all !
I have a table where there are a number of columns with varchar(20) and varchar(255).
I am looking at a table with 4 varchar(255) and 10 varchar(20) 's.
I have to estimates the size of the table.I can do that given the rowsize and the number of rows in the table.
My problem is what is the kind of over head that I need to take into account when I am dealing with a table with soo many variable length columns when calculating the row size?
What is the over head difference between char datatye and varchar datatype?
I can't go for char datatypes now.
Help and info regarding this is very much appreciated.
regards
Sush.

I am the IS manager for a medium business. I am also the DBA and the programmer and help desk and trainer etc etc.
In 2003 I embarked on a project which went live in 2005. We contracted to have our order processing system rewritten into SQL. I went from a character based 4GL language called Progress running in a UNIX enviroment to a knock down, drag out, full blown microsoft solution. I have been operating this new system for two years making modest enhancements and improvements as my skills with microsoft are increasing and improving (retraining my brain to think objects)and hiring contractors to do the really cool fun stuff.
I have to learn Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, SQL Express, T-SQL, Replication, Reporting Services, SSIS, IIS, DTS, Visual Source Safe, Visual Studio, VB, C#, ADO.NET and the .NET Framework fits in here too although I don't really know where.
I hope you are starting to understand my feeling of being 'in over my head'. Right now everything is running perfect. I do backups, restore them and create new reports. Basic stuff.
On top of this our company has merged with a larger one and this bigger company does not have a microsoft solution. They have an AS400 home grown application that I do not want to learn. I will not go backwards!!!!! I will loose my job/position in the next couple of years. I want certifications (to get that interview).
I just don't have the skills to back up the certification (I don't want to be one of those exam cram people) I do a plethora of unrelated taks all day long. Not because I have to do them I choose to do them. I like both DBA and Programming.
So, if you were me, and could get certifications and have experience to back them up what would you do first?

I have a table that contains categories, users, modifydates . All three of those fields may be repeated many times.
I need to build a table that contains user, modifydate, oldcategory, newcategory, duration (number of days between modifydates when there is a category change)
I can use the min(modifydate) to get the 1st occurrence of each new category, but I am having trouble populating the oldvalue and then also getting the duration.
Adding to the complexity, I have to take the last entry of a null category prior to category being populated the first time and populate it with the first occurrence of category, Likewise, I have to populate the first occurrence of null after the last occurrence of a popoulated category. In other words, this simulates populated categories prior to first occurrence and after the last occurrence.
Any help would be great.

I'm trying to write a script that will go against sysprocesses (I think) and find the head of a blocking chain, and how many SPIDs it is blocking on down the line.
I found a reference to a script called head_blockers.sql in the Swynk Scripts database (posted March 2000), but the script appears to no longer be available for download.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,

Hi
I have a huge matrix with 8 columns and then all the data that's generated when choosing a date span. These 8 columns are Topic, Salesperson, Company and so on and then the right part of the matrix grows with values for each month.
My problem is that there are no column headers for the first 8 columns!! How come?
What I did to resolve this was to put in a table in the top left cell and then write in the corresponding column header. This works €¦ in IE but not in PDF or Excel. And I really need it when I export it to Excel.
Any ideas?
Kind regards.

Data apx (5 million rows):
Span example:
-------------M---------------
___________-------------Rx-------------
Needs to b converted to this (ignore the underscore, used for spacing):
---M-------|-------M & Rx----|---Rx--
The time spans can slide either way.
Data example:
MemberID Eff_Date Term_Date Med_COB Rx_COB
1 20050101 20050912 Y N
1 20050310 20051120 N Y
1 20060101 <null> Y N
1 20060101 <null> N Y
Resulting Records need to be in this format:
MemberID Eff_Date Term_Date Med_COB Rx_COB
1 20050101 20050310 Y N
1 20050311 20050912 Y Y
1 20050913 20051120 N Y
1 20060101 <null> Y Y
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. We are running SQL2K. I like most people,would like to stay away from cursors and loops if possible.

Here's My scenario,
I am using SQL2k5 with sp2. In have three branch stores in my site each with SQL 2k5 and a master server at headoffice also with SQL 2k5. The sales transactions for each store goes to a table called sales transaction. What I need is that the info from the sales transaction of each branch populate the sales transaction table at the head office, but not vice versa. That is to say the sales transaction table at each branch must have their information alone and no information from any other branch. Only the head office must have sales transactions from all branches in it's table. What type of replication do i use and how do i implement it?
Muchas muchas gracias.

Hi
Just started using Visual Studio Express 2005 (Web) with Server 2005 Express and I am trying to extract the data from a SQL but cannot find how to connect to and open a SQL recordset so as to use the values of a single record dotted around a page. I would be using the values in the <Head> and <body> areas of the page. The body of the page would utilise standard data grids for sub and sub data, this being no problem.
Below is how I would have retrieved the "EndDate" value from an Access databse under asp.
Set Conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") Conn.Open "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../private/Drapers.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" rs.open "SELECT * FROM Products where ID = 44", Conn, 3, 3 rs("Metta1") rs("Metta2")
The following is from the Web.config file
<connectionStrings><add name="ConnectCB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|CBBasic.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings>
I have tried lots of things that were either code that was superceeded or just plainly didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

On our datawarehouse server we are regularly having a 1203 error, causing the sql-server to hang. We get this message in the errorlog: Failed Assertion = 'm_activeSdesList.Head () == NULL'. In the knowledgebase I found a bug description that is very lookalike to our problem.
Article: Q240853 FIX: Lock Escalation With Parallel Query May Cause 1203 Error And Server Shutdown
*** part of the article ***
SYMPTOMS
If a lock escalation occurs while running a parallel query, it is possible to encounter error message 1203 as follows:
spid7 Process 7 unlocking unowned resource: KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd)
spid7 Process 7 unlocking unowned resource: KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd)
spid7 Error: 1203, Severity: 20, State: 1
spid7 Process ID 7 attempting to unlock unowned resource KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd).
spid7 Error: 1203, Severity: 20, State: 1
spid7 Process ID 7 attempting to unlock unowned resource KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd).
The error message included in the error log probably mentions the same lock resource in several of the error messages.
Once the error is printed, an assertion message similar to the following is also printed:
1999-08-09 13:15:26.79 kernel SQL Server Assertion: File: <proc.c>, line=1866 Failed Assertion = 'm_activeSdesList.Head () == NULL'.
After a dump of the stack for all threads, the server initiates a shutdown of the SQL Server process.
...
*** end ***
You can find the complete article on: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q240/8/53.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0
We can't use the workaround, because that would shut out parallelism, which is necessary for the project.
There is a fix, but in the article Microsoft says: "A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.".
You understan,d this is not one of my favorite type of fixes...
Does anyone have already installed the fix mentioned? Had any problems with it, or did it cause some other troubles?
Thx,

SQL Server 2005 9.0.3161 on Win 2k3 R2
I receive the following error:
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
VALUES (@journal_id, @acct_id, @acct_recv_id, @amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).

AFAIK I have configured the source to pick up the dropdownlist value and the textbox value (the text box is autopostback).
Am i not submitting the data correctly? (It worked with a simple query...just not with this one). I have tried a stored procedure which works when testing just not when its live on a webpage.
Please help!

-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!!
-- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1
if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?

Hello everybody,
I'm developing a report using the following structure :
declare @sql as nvarchar(4000)
declare @where as nvarchar(2000)
set @sql = 'select ....'
If <conditional1>
begin
set @where = 'some where'
end
If <conditional2>
begin
set @where = 'some where'
end
set @sql = @sql + @where
exec(@sql)
I run it in query analyser and works fine, but when I try to run in Reporting Services, Visual studio stops responding and the cpu reaches 100 %.
I realize that when I cut off the if clauses, then it works at Reporting services.
Does anybody know what is happening?
Why the query works in query analyser and doesn't work in Reporting Service ?
Thanks,
MaurĂcio

CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I want to do it using SELECT. Is it possible?

do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name
FROM...
WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)

When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

Hi all,
In the Programmability/Stored Procedure of Northwind Database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE), I have the following sql:
USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[SalesByCategory] Script Date: 03/25/2008 08:31:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SalesByCategory]
@CategoryName nvarchar(15), @OrdYear nvarchar(4) = '1998'
AS
IF @OrdYear != '1996' AND @OrdYear != '1997' AND @OrdYear != '1998'
BEGIN
SELECT @OrdYear = '1998'
END
SELECT ProductName,
TotalPurchase=ROUND(SUM(CONVERT(decimal(14,2), OD.Quantity * (1-OD.Discount) * OD.UnitPrice)), 0)
FROM [Order Details] OD, Orders O, Products P, Categories C
WHERE OD.OrderID = O.OrderID
AND OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
AND P.CategoryID = C.CategoryID
AND C.CategoryName = @CategoryName
AND SUBSTRING(CONVERT(nvarchar(22), O.OrderDate, 111), 1, 4) = @OrdYear
GROUP BY ProductName
ORDER BY ProductName

I executed the code successfully and I got a box which asked for "Enter the query string".
I typed in the following: EXEC dbo.SalesByCategory @Seafood. I got the following box: Query attempt failed. Must declare the scalar variable "@Seafood". I am learning how to enter the string for the "SQL query programed in the subQuery_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnQuery.Click" (see the code statements listed above). Please help and tell me what I missed and what I should put into the query string to get the information of the "Seafood" category out.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID
FROM tableU u
LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!

What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am trying to run queries against any of the user tables in my MS SQL 7.0 database. I get a message the Query Designer encountered a query error.
We have tried rebooting the SQL Server and I am still getting these messages. Also, the SQL error logs look fine - all database
maintenance are running successfully including the DBCCs which show no errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are to go
into production in a few days.
