I used to be able to enter new lines into the result pane cell for text
(and varchar) data in Enterprise Manager, but now that I am using SQL
2005 Management Studio, this feature is gone.
Is there any way to do this?
Also, copying to/from excel chops off part of the text in a cell and is
very infuriating.
I've successfully created a column bar graph that shows the availability (0-100%) for a given site for each month YTD. I would like to have fixed lines added to the graph across all the columns at the 99.0 and 99.99% marks to show where we've reached and surpassed these key service levels.
I can't seem to find any examples on how to do this. The line drawing tool doesn't always line up with the graph correctly when it's displayed so I was looking for a data point at those levels.
I have a small problem and was hipeing someone could help. Want to run a query, where I sellect results from two tables. Once this is done I want to takes those results and update a table that is already created with those results. How would I do this? Thw eonly way I know how to do this is by writing this:
select CompanyName, ContactName, Address, City, Region, ProductName, UnitPrice INTO TABLE2 From Suppliers, Products
But the problem with this is that I can only input the query results into a new table that I would name above. I can't insert it into a table that has already been created.
This is the erroe that I receive: There is already an object named 'TABLE2' in the database.
I have a third table which links the two called request_approvals which has 2 columns: REQUEST_ID, LEVEL_ID. When a request is approved for a specific level, I insert a value into this table. So, for example, lets say request 1 has been approved for all 3 levels, request 2 has been approved for only level 1, and request 3 has been approved for level 3, the table would show something like this.
Ok, so here the challenge: I need to show in a report all the requests, create a columns for each level and show whether or not that request is approved for that level. The end result has to be something like this:
Keep in mind that if another value is added to the approval_levels table (ie app_level_4), I need to add another column to the table call app_level_4 dynamically.Now, how in the world do I do something like this?
SELECT COUNT(id) as viewcount from location_views WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357 SELECT COUNT(id)*2 as clickcount FROM extlinks WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
But I want to add the COUNT statements, so this is what I did:
select COUNT(vws.id)+COUNT(lnks.id)*2 AS totalcount FROM location_views vws,extlinks lnks WHERE (vws.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND vws.objectid=357) OR (lnks.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND lnks.objectid=357)
Turns out the query becomes immensely slow. There must be something I'm doing wrong here which results in such bad performance, but what is it?
I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.
We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/ 1/1/2015 $150 First Transaction 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Transaction BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Transaction 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons.
Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234 1/1/2015 $150 First Purchase AAAA.1234 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Purchase BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Purchase BBBB.5678 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber FROM GenericTable WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers!
Needless to say, my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME. Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable; ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable DROP COLUMN RowID; BULK INSERT GenericImportTable FROM 'SERVERGeneralAppnameDataFile.2015.05.04.tab.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '', FIRSTROW = 6) ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable ADD RowID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber FROM GenericImportTable WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
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.
Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100 SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CountyId IN ( SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId) THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId
[Code] .....
This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?
Hey, take a look at the below. I need to sum the real balance of a line with the credit with the line above, or, n + 1. I don't wanna to have to walk across the lines to do the sum. Any idea of how to do that in a easier and better way? I tried using T-SQL, but I couldn't figure out how to do a reference to the next line on the SQL without moving the cursor.
Date Reference Description Debit Credit Real Balance Bank Balance
Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist. My current SQL statement is as follows. SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))" So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James.

I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and all my reports preview with many more pages, as the preview will show Page 1 of 20, but if I print the report I get say 12 pages. The reports are always correct, but the preview show less data per page? Is there a way to get the preview to be what is going to print out?
This occurs in MS Visual Studio 2005 also as well as from the web. On a drill down report I get on some reports only 10 line when the print out will have 30 lines perpage
Hi all, I have the following SQLDataSource statement which connects to my Gridview:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceStandings" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT P.firstName, P.lastName, T.teamName, IsNull(P.gamesPlayed, 0) as gamesPlayed, IsNull(P.plateAppearances,0) as plateAppearances, IsNull( (P.plateAppearances - (P.sacrifices + P.walks)) ,0) as atbats, IsNull(P.hits,0) as hits, P.hits/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [average], (P.hits + P.walks)/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF( (P.atbats + P.sacrifices + P.walks) , 0), 1))) AS [OBP], (P.hits - (P.doubles + P.triples + P.homeRuns) + (2 * P.doubles) + (3 * P.triples) + (4 * P.homeRuns)) / (CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [SLG], P.singles, P.doubles, P.triples, P.homeRuns, P.walks, P.sacrifices, P.runs, P.rbis FROM Players P INNER JOIN Teams T ON P.team = T.teamID ORDER BY P.firstName, P.lastName"></asp:SqlDataSource>There are 8 teams in the database, and somehow the average and obp results are as expected for all teams except where T.teamID = 1.

ErikGalvezMelville82625180.7200000.7307691.24000011322101015 As you can see, all teams except for Safe Haven's have the correct AVG and OBP. Since AVG is simply H/AB, it doesn't make sense for Gabriel Helbig's results to be 1.00000. Can anyone shed ANY light on this please?Thank you in advance,Markuu ***As a side note, could anyone also let me know how I could format the output so that AVG and OBP are only 3 decimal places? (ex: 0.719 for the 1st result)***

Assuming I have a line, is there a function I can call to create a parallel line at a given distance away.i.e - with the below I would want to draw a parallel line to the one output.
We have a very long and complicated SQL script which we run to upgradea version of our software from old to new. It works great in QueryAnalyzer, but when run through osql it takes errors on lines that arevery long and (I think) stops reading after a certain amount ofcharacters. I've searched the net but haven't found anyone mentioningthis before. I have tried the -w 5000 parm to no avail.Any suggestions?
Hi, The chart is set to simple line I can not get my SSRS chart to show just the dots, instead it is joining the points together and show the points joining together and therefor appear as lines.. even tried setting the chart to simple scatter but then nothing appears on graph. Any thoughts please?
i wanna create two line types on the same graph. I'm using the following queries.
Code Block select count(l.created) as LoanOriginationNumberPreApproved , convert(char( 11), l.Created) as PreApprovedDate from LoanApplication l where l.Status <> 'Cancelled' Group by l.Created
and
Code Block select count(l.SubmittedOn) as LoanOriginationNumber , convert(char( 11), l.SubmittedOn) as SubmittedDate from LoanApplication l where l.Status <> 'Cancelled' Group by l.SubmittedOn
I combined these queries. I add clumns of the second query to select statement of first code. also added group by l.submittedon to group by l,created as group by l.created, l.submiited on. This is the problem.(I mean grouping)
But then SSRS does not allow me to put preaaproveddate and submitteddate to drop category filed? Does anyone know how to do that?
"Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file."
I click Yes and my project open normally. Someone know why this happen? My project is small, have one package with any imports excel files to Sql Server 2005.
I would like to know how to set the grouping lines or the detailed line to get the function like in Excel: group plan Example:
+ Group line GL1 Detailed Line 1 Detailed Line 2
When the grouping function is active, you see the Group line GL1 only. By clicking on the + icone, you will see all the detailed lines (like in Excel document).
Hi, I have a web form that lets users search for people in my database they wish to contact. The database returns a paged set of results using a CTE, Top X, and Row_number(). I would like to give my users to option of removing individual people from this list but cannot find a way to do this. I have tried creating a session variable with a comma delimited list of ID's that I pass to my sproc and use in a NOT IN() statement. But I keep getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." Error Message. Is there any way to do this? I am still new to stored procedures so any advice would be helpful. Thanks
Hi, when I copy and paste results from query analyzer into Excel it appears that values with zeroes at the end loose the zeroes. Example, if I copy and paste V128.0 into an Excel cell it comes out as V128 or if I copy 178.70 it displays as 178.7 - any ideas? I'm using SQL Enterprise Manager for 2000.
