Advise On Column Type
Jan 2, 2007
Hello,
In my web application I am listing steps of action:
STEP ACTION
10
10.1
10.2
10.9
10.10
10.20
30
30.1
etc
How should I set up my columns in my database? I tryed decimal but the problem is that 10.1 and 10.10 is in theory the same while in my case it is absolutely not. I also tryed nvarchar but does not sort correctly.
Should I create 2 int column, one for the main step and another one for the sub-step (one would contain the part before the "." and the other would contain the part after the ".")?
Thanks

Using SQL2000, is there another way of optimizing the original query below.TIA,BobUpdate Transactionset field1 = (select (sum(tax)-sum(credit))/sum(credit) from tblOrder wheretblOrder.id = Transaction.id),field2 = (select avg(price) from tblOrder where tblOrder.id =Transaction.id),field3 = (select min(cost) from tblOrder where tblOrder.id = Transaction.id)etc..(there are six additional updates)Is this a quicker way:Update TransactionSET field1 = (sum(tax)-sum(credit))/sum(credit) , field2 = avg(price) ,field3 = min(cost) , etc.....FROM tblOrderWHERE tblOrder.id = Transaction.id

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,
SK

Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

I need to stored lots of unsigned 32-bit values. (I'm actually storing IPv4 addresses). These values will frequently exceed 2^31 but never exceed 2^32
My options are:
Use bigint. This is undesirable since this wastes 32-bits of space for every value.
Use int and use the negative value range to get full 32-bits worth of data. In C, it is easy and fast to cast a signed -1 to an unsigned 2^32-1. In SQL, it will be more expensive: Must cast to 64-bit and if val < 0 then val = 2^32 + val.
Is there a better alternative?
Is there a fast (binary) way to cast a value > 2^31 to a negative signed value?
DECLARE @value BIGINT
SET @value = 3000000000
SELECT CONVERT(INT, @value) -- causes error
SELECT CAST(@value AS INT) -- causes error

I have a column in my table that is an Image (blob). The data storedin this blob is basically pdf files. I need a query to determine thetotal size of these blob's in the database. Here is what ishappening, if I run it as below I get 23736000 for a result.select sum(datalength (cast(document AS binary(8000)))) fromplan_reportIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary(8000)))) from plan_reportI get 23736000 also as a resultIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary))) from plan_reportI get 89010 this as a resultIf I run this: select datalength(document) from plan_report then Iget a result for each row and when I sum those rows I get 5584452854this as a result.I do not believe the first 3 queries are returning correct result setsdue to the limit on the fields (binary/varbinary) and since this is animage field I cannot convert to anything else.....I am out of ideas, and any help you can give me will be greatlyappreciated...

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to determine the data_type of a column, given the table name and column name. Once I've determined it's a charactor string I can get the length using COL_LENGTH, but I can't fund a command or procedure that will return the data type.
Thank you.

Version: SQL Server 7.0App: MS Access 2000I created DTS to move records from MySQL to SQL Server (approx over 500,000+per months dataset) for purpose of canned and adhoc reporting. The apphave a simple interface using MS Access where user will input the timeframeof the dataset they will process.Both servers are physically located in the same bldg from another state.Previous to MySQL, they send us cd in text format and my app runs the DTSusing a BAT file containing the DTSRUN command. But I would like stay awayfrom the DTSRUN since they take awhile to load to the server, plus it runson background on client pc. I wanted a functionality where it will run onthe server without user supervision, and they can go about their businessand do something else. In other words, let the server do majority of thework.Now that MySQL came into the picture, the Network Support created a filedsnwhere sqlserver sits and I use that as a reference on my DTS (using UNC,\myserverfile$sample.dsn)The problem:1) I work from home and when creating and running this DTS's, it takes awhile to process;2) When specifying the UNC path on DTS and saved, for some reason itswitches to the User/System DSN section;3) I also tested from office with the same result (i connect using cablemodem)Now the only way I can think of to solve this problem:a) save the DTS as a file and send it over to Network Support and have themload it up and manually change the source location OR have them modify theDTS and change the source locationb) then create a DTS jobThe person who will be running this DTS might be running it from home oroffice. Also, is there a way to automate the DTS job using an SP? I wantedto make it as easier as possible for the end user, where all they have to dois enable the job and run only for this time and for this package.TIA!Bob

on the 1st opening of my web page it uses the membership control of asp.net
for logging on. sometimes it takes time to logon and worse is, it will
encounter sql server error. that can be resolved by just restarting that
specific page and it will be alright, it will logon normally. this only issue happens only on the first opening of the logon page.
i have read a certain article and it says there that on the first time
you access the sql server, sometimes the sql server needs a little more
time communicating back and forth.
how can i make my log-on page wait a little longer till it communicates
or finishes communicating to the sql server?
im afraid that this may happen once i deploy my web project. i am
expecting over 100 users and they might save to the database all
together. will i encounter problem on this particular?
i am using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQLExpress for this project. pls advise me.
BIG THANKS.
