Anoter Alternative

Jul 27, 2007

There is another alternative ... if you are using MSCRM 3.0

follow this steps

1. Navigate to your report manager --> //<<Server Name>>/reports
2. Navigate to your datasource --> HOME > <<Datasource>>
3. At the top tab select Properties
4. Make sure that there is a user role call "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" thus apply the appropiate roles for it


Vula....!!!!!

@@IDENTITY Alternative

Dec 30, 2007

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to come up with a replacement for @@IDENTITY, because I have SQL code I want to make more portable.

Original:ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(a,b,c) VALUES(A,B,C); SELECT @@IDENTITY")
Proposed solution:
lock(MyDataLayer)
ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM X")
if(ID==null) ID=1
MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(id,a,b,c) VALUES(ID,A,B,C)")
unlock(MyDataLayer)
(This is of course pseudocode, for SQL Server I'd need SET IDENTITY_INSERT.)

Do you think the preceding solution is equivalent to the original?
Do you know something better?

Equivalent should mean here, not necessarily generating the same ID's,
but maintaining functionality and consistence all over the database.

MSDE Alternative

Jan 26, 2004

My company develops software that is distributed to thousands of customers. We chose MSDE as the database engine. Over the past 4 months, we have spent countless hours with customers, Microsoft, Installshield and web searches trying to resolve issues with installing MSDE. The issues seem to vary by customer and most take a great deal of support time. We understood MSDE to be a product that requires little support but in hindsight, it appears that it requires a great deal of knowledge just to get installed. We make small steps but no leaps forward.

It has come time to evaluate other products. If there is a magic bullet, I would love to hear about it. In its absence, does anyone have success to share with other products?

Alternative To SQLXMLBULKLOAD ?

May 2, 2008

Hi,

Just curious, is there any alternative to SQLXMLBULKLOAD for shredding and loading very large (800 megs) XML files ? Due to the nature of the XML data sent to me (which I have no control over)I am having great difficulty loading data into tables. More specifically, I can load parent data but not the child data beneath it despite using sql:relationships.

Thanks,

Cursor Alternative ?

Mar 30, 2006

Hi,

In a stored procedure I'm processing, via a cursor, a table of, potentially, 100,000 rows on a daily basis. The only column in each row is a 12-byte transaction control number. I know that using cursors can cause performance issues. Is there an alternative to using a cursor that has less of a performance impact ?

Thanks,

Index Alternative

Feb 14, 2007

Cameron writes "Thanks for taking a look @ my question....

Basically, is there an alternative to indexing that maintains the fast searching capability (or possibly faster)?

We maintain over 500 databases on a single SQL server and currently (the way I am told) the server is limited to indexing 256 databases, so we have to basically create a new database with ALL the searchable data and use it for searches. While this works, it seems like there should be an alternate method. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time!"

What would be a better / more elegant solution to something like

IF(@areaCode = '111' OR @areaCode = '222' 0R @areaCode = '333')
BEGIN
//do something
END

that uses less OR's in an IF statement?

Alternative To Triggers

Feb 1, 2008

Hi all

I work as a production dba and our development team are trying to push a project which involves using triggers. The aim is to transfer information between to databases (on two differents servers) because currently users have to type in the same info into the two different systems.
The triggers will be defined on a couple of tables, checking for inserts, updates, deletes, and then insert this into staging tables within teh same database. However the trigger does more complex processing than just inserting the same records from the production table into the staging table. Because the schema between the source database and destination database is different, the trigger needs to do some manipulation before it updates the staging tables. It basically does massive selects from a number of different tables to get the desired column list & then puts that into the staging tables.
We have basically asked them to reimplement this solution using other methods (such as timestamping the necessary tables and then putting the trigger login into a stored proc and scheduling it to run through a job).

However, we've found out the triggers make use of the 'deleted' and 'inserted' special trigger tables to compare new data to old data - i.e. not all inserts/updates/deletes need to be pushed to the staging tables - it depends on certain criteria based on this comparison of old and new data.....that throws a spanner in the works. What alternatives could provide this functionality, without just making the whole process a a headache to maintain - which is why we recommended not using triggers in the first place!!

Sorry for the long post - needed to explain the issue properly. Hopefully some of you will be able to provide some feedback - teh sooner the better as I have a meeting with the developers later today and would like to offer some alternatives.

Thanks!

Alternative To Dynamic Sql?

Jul 20, 2005

I have a procedure that take several paramters and depending of whatvalues is submitted or not, the procedures shall return differentnumber of rows. But to simplyfy this my example use just oneparameter, for example Idnr.If this id is submitted then I will return only the posts with thisidnr, but if this is not submitted, I will return all posts in table.As I can see I have two options1. IF @lcIdNr IS NOT NULLSELECT *FROM tableWHERE idnr = @lcIdNrELSESELECT *FROM table2. Use dynamic SQL.The first example can work with just one parameter but with a coupleof different input paramters this could be difficult, anyway this isnot a good solution. The second example works fine but as I understanddynamic sql is not good from the optimizing point of view. So, I don'twant to use either of theese options, so I wonder If there i a way towork around this with for example a case clause?RegardsJenny

Alternative To Identity Help.

Aug 20, 2007




I have a SSIS package that imports an Excel file using Visual Basic 2005 into my SQL 2005 database. All the fields are the same in the DB and xls. The package runs with no problem but I need one of the fields to be autoincrement. I tried to set up the properties of one of my fields "ID" to be an Identity. This didn't seem to work at all. There are about 1300 records in the DB so far with the last "ID" number being 10001415. Before now, the numbers were inputed manually. I want the "ID" to be assigned when the SSIS package imports the xls file.


Any help is very appreciated.

IF ELSE Alternative For Stored Procedure

May 1, 2007

Hi,I'm trying to create a stored procedure that checks to see whether the parameters are NULL. If they are NOT NULL, then the parameter should be used in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement otherwise all records should be returned.sample code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProjectInfo]
(@ProjectTitle varchar(300), @ProjectManagerID int, @DeptCode varchar(20), @ProjID varchar(50),
@DateRequested datetime, @DueDate datetime, @ProjectStatusID int)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF @ProjectTitle IS NOT NULL AND @ProjectManagerID IS NULL AND @DeptCode IS NULL AND @ProjID IS NULL AND @DateRequested IS NULL AND @DueDate IS NULL AND @ProjectStatusID IS NULL
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project
WHERE ProjectTitle = @ProjectTitle;
ELSE IF @ProjectTitle IS NOT NULL AND @ProjectManagerID IS NOT NULL AND @DeptCode IS NULL AND @ProjID IS NULL AND @DateRequested IS NULL AND @DueDate IS NULL AND @ProjectStatusID IS NULL
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project
WHERE ProjectTitle = @ProjectTitle AND ProjectManagerID = @ProjectManagerID;
ELSE
SELECT ProjID, ProjectTitle, ProjectDetails, ProjectManagerID, RequestedBy, DateRequested, DueDate, ProjectStatusID
FROM dbo.tbl_Project; I could do this using IF-ELSE but that would require a ridiculous amount of conditional statements (basically 1 for each combination of NULLs and NOT NULLs). Is there a way to do this without all the IF-ELSEs? Thanks.

Alternative To Dynamic SQL In A Function

Jan 14, 2008

Hi all, I have a sql problem i'd like to put to the masses because its driving me crazy! Before I start, this is a database i inherited so I cant change the schema.
I have a table which holds field information for a form, namely the table name, column name and some other irrelevant stuff (X/Y coordinates for printing onto a document). Here is some sample data to explain better:
TableName              FieldName                Xpos             Ypos
----------               ---------                -----            -----
FruitTable                FruitName                10                20
VegTable                 VegName                 10                40
FruitTable                FruitColour               20                10  
(Thats not the real data of course)
What I need is a calculated field which returns the value of each field from each table – probably by constructing a dynamic sql statement(?) It would look something like this:
Select @FieldName From @TableName Where bla bla bla – don’t worry about the where clause. The completed dataset will hopefully then look like this:
TableName              FieldName                Xpos             Ypos             FieldValue (calculated field)
----------               ---------                -----            -----            ---------      
FruitTable                FruitName                10                20                Oranges (result of: Select FruitName From FruitTable Where....)
VegTable                 VegName                 10                40                Parsnips (result of: Select VegName From VegTable Where....)
FruitTable                FruitColour               20                10                Green (result of: Select FruitColour From FruitTable Where....)
 
I have tried creating a scalar-valued function which takes TableName and FieldName as parameters and creates a dynamic sql string, but i cannot seem to execute the sql once I have built it. Here is a general idea of how I was trying to use the function:
Main query:Select
TableName, FieldName, Xpos, Ypos,
dbo.GetFieldValue(TableName, FieldName) As FieldValue
From
tblFieldAndPosition---------------Function: CREATE FUNCTION GetFieldValue (@TableName nvarchar(255),@FieldName nvarchar(255))

RETURNS nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN

Declare @SQL nvarchar(max)
Set @SQL = 'Select ' + @FieldName + ' From ' + @TableName

sp_executesql @SQL??

return ???

END ------------------------- The alternative to getting this data all out at once is contructing the sql statement in code and going back to the database once for every row - which i really dont want to do. If anyone has had a situation like this before, or can point me in the right direction I will be very very grateful.  Hope thats clear. Thanks in advance

Speed Up The Process..how? Alternative Way?

May 5, 2008

Good Day, please help me, i have a data driven site that displays computed data to a Complete Gridview, this is my problem, when i run my site, it all displays the informations and the gridview a i intended to. generally my site works fine BUT!!!!! my site have different levels of display, like thisSite 1:it has 3 dropdown menus, dropdown 2 is dependent to dropdown 1 and dropdown 3 is dependent to dropdown 2 and the complete gridview is dependent to dropdown 3, it is a postback process of dependencies, i hope you get what i mean, Site 2:this is the same as the site 1 but this time, is has 2 dropdown menus only, and the complete gridview has a gridview in side of it thru details template. Site 3: almost the same as Site 1 and 2 but this time there will be no dropdown menus, only the complete gridview, but the gridview has 3 levels, the same level sa the level of dropdown menus in site 1, where the main gridview has a gidview below it and a gridview again below it and soon,  The Problem:the site works fine but it runs super SLOW!!! specially in the Site 3, where it has to display and compute different gridviews from the complete gridview at the same time, sometimes it cause the TIME OUT EXPIRE.that can i do to speed the process other than upgrading my server? is there an alternative?please helpfor more info this is the SQL codes that i used in each level in the complete gridviewThe highest level in the gridview of the initial display of the complete gridview: select rbu,count(distinct dslamname) as NumberOfDslam,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu and dnum > '1') as Used,

(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.rbu = r.rbu ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r
group by rbu  The Second to the highest when you would click on the +/- button in the complete gridview  select aco,count(distinct dslamname) as NumberOfDslam,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco and dnum > '1') as Used,

(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.aco = r.aco ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r where rbu = ?
group by aco  The Last in the display when you would click on the +/- of the second gridview select dslamname,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname ) as Capacity,
(select count(secode) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname and dnum > '1') as Used,

(select sum(dwlink) from dslamdata as a where a.dslamname = r.dslamname ) as Sold_Bandwidth
from dslamdata as r where aco
group by dslamname  if you would look at it, all the codes are the same except for the selected field, i hope someone can help me with this, thanks and good day SALAMAT PO.,

Alternative To Link Server

Oct 10, 2007

Hi all,

I am having two databases(MS-Sql) on two different servers.Let say they are Server1 and Server2.I am having some stored procedures(sps) which are executing on Server1.Results given by these sps are 6 different tables(Theses tables are temporary tables e.g #Table1 and they are created in one of the sps on Server1). And I want to use these 6 tables on Server2.
But constraint here is, i can create link server for Server1 from Server2 but not from Server1 to Server2.So i can not access Server2 directly from Server1.
Even if i am using custom tables here instead of temp tables(#) it will take me to solution but that is again a constraint i can not do this.
Is there any alternative solution for Link server in this case?
I dont want to go for OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE b'coz of performance issue.

Thank you in advance!!

Alternative To Joining Views

Dec 4, 2006

Hi,

I have 2 views that I can join to give me the recordset I want. Both views are currently filtered on a particular column (ie 'WHERE colName = myValue')

The problem is that I want to use this from a web page with user input in which the user would specify myValue.

Is there any alternative to having two views? Can I combine them into one SQL statement? Access allowed me to do it by specifying an alias for a select statement, then joining this to another. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I guess what I want to do it specify one view then another, then join them - all in the same statement!

Something like this:


Code:

SELECT view1.*, view2.*
FROM ((SELECT tbl1.*,tbl2.*,tbl3.*
FROM tbl1 JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.id = tbl2.tbl1_id
JOIN tbl3 ON tbl2.id = tbl3.tbl2_id
AND tbl3.id = myValue) AS view1)
((SELECT tbl4.* FROM tbl4 WHERE tbl4.id = myValue) AS view2)
RIGHT JOIN view1 ON view2....

Bulk Insert Alternative?

Jan 8, 2008

I have data in an xml format...


<Store1>
<sale>
<productid>123</productid>
<salesperson>bob</salesperson>
<time>12:00</time>
</sale>
<clockedin>
<salesperson>bob</bob>
<time>11:45</time>
</login>

etc....

</Store1>


My database tables are as follows:

table1
id (identity field - primary key)
storeid (varchar)
event (varchar)
time (datetime)

table 2
id *
name (varchar) *
value (varchar)
* primary key

Using the above xml data example, my records would look like this in the tables:

Table 1
id: 1
StoreID: Store1
Event: sale
Time: 12:00

id: 2
StoreID: Store1
Event: clockedin
Time: 11:45

Table 2
id: 1
Name: productid
Value: 123

id: 1
Name: salesperson
Value: bob

id: 2
Name: salesperson
Value: bob



Soooo, now I can handle this programatically by reading my xml data and inserting this data into the database as its read by the xml parser. But, what I'm wondering is if there is faster way of doing this. Possibly using some sort of bulk insert?

The xml data files will at times be massive. For example during the holiday season, there could be millions of records needing to be inserted. However, there will also be days when the data is small.

Transactional Replication Alternative?

Mar 24, 2004

I know this is a mess, but they set up this environment before I got there. There is a very minute chance I may get another SQL server, which is why I ask question 1. But I have to move forward with question 2 until I can confirm another box is possible.

1) Is transactional replication possible if the subscriber is in a failover
cluster?
1b) Am I correct in the idea that the publisher and the distributor can live
on the same SQL Server.

2) Transactional replication aside... do you know an alternative to it?

Here' s my situation. I wish they would have consulted with me prior to
setting this up but nonetheless...I have a database cluster with 2 servers
in it. Failover setup between them. The staging database and production
database live on the same SQL server. When data is written to, or updated on the staging database, I need to replicate it to the production database. I obviously can't setup transactional replication when I virtually only have one server to work with.

>> Individual triggers are out because there are 38 tables and I would need a trigger for each action. SO that's approx 114 triggers. Not viable or safe and just plain wrong.

>> I've considered kicking off a DTS package that will copy the table up but then I would need 38 DTS pkgs. And I don't want to copy the whole database every time for obvious performance issues.

>> I've considered modifying the code in their software so that it reruns
their DB update object after I temporarily change the data source... which is a great alternative, except then I have to worry about data integrity; making sure the primary keys match between staging and production.

Thanx for any input or any ideas beyond what I've written.
Egotistical slander not welcome.

Any Alternative Way To Retreive Data

May 19, 2004

Hi: Guys
Given the table below I want a select query that returns the AccountRepID with the largest single sale for each RegionID. In the event of a tie choose any single top AccountRepID to return.

CREATE TABLE [Sales] (
[SalesID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
RegionID] [int],
[AccountRepID] [int],
[SalesAmount] [money]
)

If the data were
salesid,regionid,accountrepid,salesamount
1,101,31,$50
2,101,32,$25
3,102,31,$25
4,102,32,$25
5,102,31,$15

The query should return
regionid,accountrepid
101,31
102,31 or 102,32


Is there another way to get the data other than the following query:

select regionID,accountrepid FROM Sales
where salesamount in
(select max(salesamount) FROM Sales group by regionid)

Thanks
