Application Times Out While Doing The Updates
Jul 20, 2005
here's the scenario..
I am running a DTS to collect the summarized info from Oracle database
into SQL server. I then have a update job which updates my
transactional table from the summarized table.
The update takes a very long time (~ 3 minutes)even though it has
around 1500 rows which causes the application to timeout. I want this
job to be done in less than a minute.
Thoughts on improving performance. Is stored procedure a way to go?
(I have used Isolation,row hints etc etc..nothing seems to be working)

Hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction for moreresearch (e.g.: correct terminology). My only previous experience was justdumping data into a database using ODBC, and that was some years ago so nowmostly forgotten.I need to write an NT Service/Application (in C/C++) that will be gettingdata sent to it via SQL Server 2000. The data will arrive in my SQL Server(read-only access), via replication of tables from another remote SQLServer.My application needs know when new row are inserted, or updated so it can toread this data (needs to be quick/timely so hopefully no polling) to theninterface with other remote proprietary systems.T.I.A.PS: If you can recommend appropriate books on SQL Server 2000 that wouldalso be useful.

I have a project that consists of a SQL db with an Access front end as the user interface. Here is the structure of the table on which this question is based:
Code Block
create table #IncomeAndExpenseData (
recordID nvarchar(5)NOT NULL,
itemID int NOT NULL,
itemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL,
monthitemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL
)
The itemvalue field is where the user enters his/her numbers via Access. There is an IncomeAndExpenseCodes table as well which holds item information, including the itemID and entry unit of measure. Some itemIDs have an entry unit of measure of $/mo, while others are entered in terms of $/yr, others in %/yr.
For itemvalues of itemIDs with entry units of measure that are not $/mo a stored procedure performs calculations which converts them into numbers that has a unit of measure of $/mo and updates IncomeAndExpenseData putting these numbers in the monthitemvalue field. This stored procedure is written to only calculate values for monthitemvalue fields which are null in order to avoid recalculating every single row in the table.
If the user edits the itemvalue field there is a trigger on IncomeAndExpenseData which sets the monthitemvalue to null so the stored procedure recalculates the monthitemvalue for the changed rows. However, it appears this trigger is also setting monthitemvalue to null after the stored procedure updates the IncomeAndExpenseData table with the recalculated monthitemvalues, thus wiping out the answers.
How do I write a trigger that sets the monthitemvalue to null only when the user edits the itemvalue field, not when the stored procedure puts the recalculated monthitemvalue into the IncomeAndExpenseData table?

Hi...
I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc...
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan]
@ClientId int,
@UserId int = NULL,
@HistoryId int,
@ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE
@Count int,
@Sproc varchar(50),
@Status varchar(200),
@TotalCount int
SET @Sproc = OBJECT_NAME(@@ProcId)
SET @Status = 'Updating plan information in Plan table.'
UPDATE
Statements..Plan
SET
PlanName = PlanName1,
Description = PlanName2
FROM
Statements..Plan cp
JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT
PlanId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
) c
ON cp.CPlanId = c.PlanId
WHERE
cp.ClientId = @ClientId
AND
(
IsNull(cp.PlanName,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName1,'')
OR
IsNull(cp.Description,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName2,'')
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Updated ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) in ClientPlan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No records were updated in Plan.'
END
SET @Status = 'Adding plan information to Plan table.'
INSERT INTO Statements..Plan (
ClientId,
ClientPlanId,
UserId,
PlanName,
Description
)
SELECT DISTINCT
@ClientId,
CPlanId,
@UserId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
WHERE
PlanId NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT
CPlanId
FROM
Statements..Plan
WHERE
ClientId = @ClientId
AND
ClientPlanId IS NOT NULL
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Added ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) to Plan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No information was added Plan.'
END
SET NOCOUNT OFF
So how do i do multiple inserts and updates using this stored procedure...
Regards
Karen

I have set up an sql server which has a column called times. This column is to hold race times however when i enter times such as 22:20:89 with the 89 being milliseconds i am not bale to input this it will only allow me to put times in where milliseconds are below 60. This is a problem especially for the shorter races where half a second is a big difference.
Thanks Mike

SQL Statement.
Adding times together.
I am trying to add a list of times together retrieved from my database.
They are from seperate records in the same table.
They are in a date format e.g. 01-Jan-2006 03:45:00, what I want to do is ignore the 01-Jan-2006 part as well as the :00 AM part and focus on the hours and minutes. I wish to add these up e.g. 03:45 + 04:45 = 08:30. Is there an easy way of doing this?
Below is the SQL statement of getting times from my database if its any help.
SQL StatementSELECT LENGTH_OF_VISIT FROM NOV.MAIN;
Returned Results
30-Apr-2007 02:00:00 AM
30-Apr-2007 01:00:00 AM
01-Jan-2006 02:30:00 PM

Hello everyone,
I have an odd issue and I can't seem to figure it out. I am using SQL Server 2005 and I am using Transactions in combination with Try/Catch blocks. My query (executing the stored procedure) never seems to finish the query in query analyzer. I have removed all statements that exectute or select, etc upon the database except for a simple Select 'test' as test so I would have something in my Begin/End blocks. Below is my stored proc:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ar_mainCheckRecon]
@tripID int,
@payment money,
@adjustment money,
@serviceType tinyint,
@checkTpId int,
@checkTlId int,
@checkNbr varchar(20)
AS
BEGINSET NOCOUNT ON;
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRAN select 'test' as test
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
RAISERROR('Error commiting transaction', 16,1)
ROLLBACK TRAN
SELECT '0' as success
END CATCH
COMMIT TRANSELECT '0' as errorCode
END
I call upon the sproc by running this line in query analyzer:
exec ar_mainCheckRecon 433636, 0, 500, 0, 500, 0, 23
Is there something I am overlooking as to why the query keeps running and never stops? My current execution time is at 3 mins accoring to query analyzer!
Thanks,John

When using a SQL Server DateTime column to store just times, e.g. '6:00 PM' I've noticed some weird inconsistency.
If I insert a time in a SQL statement, such as... INSERT INTO myTable (StartTime) VALUES ('6:00 PM')
It winds up going in as '1/1/1900 6:00 PM'. This is okay. This is in fact what I want (unless of course the base day for sql server is in fact 12/30/1899, which is my next question).
If, on the other hand, I insert a time value by hand, using SQL Server Management Studio, then after I insert '6:00 PM' it winds up as '<Today's Date> 6:00 PM', i.e. '1/20/2008 6:00 PM'.
Also, if I insert it using a SQL Parameter, such as...
da.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@StartTime", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8, "StartTime")
...Then, if StartTime is 6:00 PM again, it also winds up going in as '<Today's Date> 6:00 PM'.
Is there a way to control this behavior (other than to programmatically append a base date to the time I'm inserting)?
Finally, what is the base day for SQL Server 2005? Is it 1/1/1900 or 12/30/1899? I think I've seen both.
Thanks!

Anyone know of an easy way to work with datetime columns ignoring the time part.
I want to "group by" the date so it is vital that the time part goes.
But I still want to work with the resulting date as a date (i.e. use date functions) so I would prefer to keep the datetime data type.

Hi
I'm new in SQL. I have a big problem
Database: MSSQL 2000
I have two tables: (results) one with numeric results and one with names (importance_scale)
SELECT * FROM results
name i1 i2 i3 i4 i5
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
john 2 1 2 2 2
anna 0 2 2 2 2
phil 2 2 2 2 2
dave 1 0 2 2 2
SELECT * FROM importance_scale
imp_value imp_name
--------- ------------
2 very important
1 important
0 not important
i1,i2 etc. value it is a imp_value from table 'importance_scale'
I would like to make report which will show all results in this format (in example only first record):
name i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 etc.
----- --- --- --- --- ---
john very important important very important very important very important etc.
I was thinking about using CASE I don't want use cursor. What is the best way?

I want to enter times for running event performances (like 10:26.35 for a person's 2-mile time, for instance). I am using sql server 2000. This is an ongoing concern for me since I do a lot of work with running events. Can someone give me some direction as to how I can best deal with this?
The datetime data types do a lot of converting to 'time-of-day' and that is not what I want. For instance, if I enter a 2-mile time of 10:26.35 (a pretty typical 2-mile time) my db converts it to 10:26:35 AM.
If I use varchar data type there is a ton of code to write when I want to sort the data.
Thanks!

I am using an MS Access front end to input data into a SQL serverdatabase. From Access I am generating an update query utilising aninline function. My problem is that when I update a time value,instead of updating the field with something like 08:00:00 it updatesit to 1/1/1900 08:00:00. Is there a way to force the update to onlyuse the hours minutes and seconds and ignore the date part?Any help would be greatly appreciated.RegardsTrevor

I have a web form that collects details on books (as an example), and in that form is a checkboxlist that displays an entry for each potential author in the database (as an example).
The user can obviously tick as many authors as they want to represent Authors of the book. The ticked entries form the entries in the BooksToAuthors table which only has BookID and AuthorID columns.
I have a number of questions:
How do I take what is in the CheckBoxList to the database and how does this relate to Stored Procedures?
Do I fill the checkbox selections into an Array? How do I get these 'many items' to a Stored Procedure that runs a transaction to put the book in and then the many rows in AuthorsToBooks.
What is being passed? Can you pass an array or something to a stored procedure?

I have 3 queries and I need to see if there is a way to combine them since they do the same thing, or if there is a more efficient way I am missing. I run the query below on Table A to find the product first for TableA.Model=1, then for Model=2 and then Model=3. The reason I split it into three queries is I need Model=1 Customers only, then Model=2 only if there isn't a Model=1 Customer, etc.
UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN TableA ON Table1.Product = TableA.Product SET Table1.Customer = [TableA].[Customer]
WHERE (((TableA.Model)="1") AND ((Table1.Customer) Is Null));

okay, so i have about 37 different updates i need to do to a table that is rather large (71million) and has no indexes. i know it's gunna table scan, and honestly, i'm not really worried about that. my question is, is there a way up squeeze all of these updates into one?
here is what i was going to do, but each one will take about an hour to run... (here are 5 of the 37 updates, but they are all basically the same concept)
update t1 set books_music='' from mailorder t1 where books_music is null
update t1 set Car_Buff='' from mailorder t1 where Car_Buff is null
update t1 set Childrens_Items_Buyers='' from mailorder t1 where Childrens_Items_Buyers is null
update t1 set Computer='' from mailorder t1 where Computer is null
update t1 set Crafts_Sewing='' from mailorder t1 where Crafts_Sewing is null
in FoxSlow (foxpro) i could just do something like this:
do while !eof()
replace books_music with '' for books_music=null
replace car_buff with '' for car_buff=null
skip
enddo

The server does have MS Office 2003 web components installed, installed as part of the initial SQL server install, but not the MS Office suite software. It also has loaded the reporting services version of Visual studio 2005 that installs with reporting services, but not the entire version of Visual Studio 2005. Should I install these service pack updates? Is there any benifit?

I have some code that opens a SqlConnection to a MSSQL 2000 database. The connection opens great everywhere except inside my implementation of IPasswordProvider.GetPassword(). It just hangs there, and then throws a timeout. I have tried using both trusted connections, and userid/password connection strings. I notice that within GetPassword, the authenticated user is COMPUTERNAMEASPNET, whereas in the web method that actually is getting called, the authenticated user is my personal user account. The SqlConnection opens fine in the actual web method.
Can anyone tell me what could stop a SqlConnection from opening while inside GetPassword()? I kinda need to look up passwords in the database.

Hi All...
if i had the following sp...
*******************************************************
create procedure my_insert (param1 int, param2 int, paramx int)
as
...
complicated insert routine
...
return
*******************************************************
and then i wanted to exec this sp in another procedure i would have
exec my_insert( 1_value, 2_value, 3_value )
My question is how could i exec this will the result set of a select.... something like this
exec my_insert (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table).
I know i could have this in an insert result type statement ie...
insert into dest_table (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table)
but my insert routine is quite complicated and carries out some other functions so I would like to call (exec) a sp rather than repeating the complication in the select statement
Many Thanks

I have an VB.NET web app which performs a fairly complicated SQL query. It seems in the morning, the 1st time the page is loaded (and query executed) it takes up to 10-15 seconds to complete loading. Sometimes it even times out. However anytime after that, the page loads up (even from another computer) in about 4-5 seconds. Can someone explain the reason for this and how I might fix the load times in the morning?
Thanks
