Hi I have two tables I want to link On table1 the column is nvarchar (length 53) the value might be XXX0123 on the second table the column is varchar (length 80) and the value might be 123. The important thing for this company is that 'XXX0123' is the same as '123' But it isn't always going to be the last 3 characters because the first table might be 'XXX0012' and the second value would be '12'
I just want to say SELECT column1, column2 from table1, table2 WHERE (the two are linked)
I have to spec out a new server, and I have the option of using RAID-5 or RAID-1 drive sets. I am limited to 24 drives in groups of 6, and I have to have one hotspare per group, so up to 5 usable drives per channel.
I need 80-100GB of space total.
Okay, you're waiting for the question....I have heard many differing opinions on which is better, RAID 1 or RAID 5. If I have 2 Large disks (say 36GB) on a Raid-1, I assume having 4 smaller 9GB drives on a RAID-5 will be faster, but I am not sure due to overhead and the like.
Does anyone know where I can get more information on RAID performance and how it is going to affect me? The database is going to be Read-Write, with a ton of small transactions, and the occasional (usually on a weekend) aggregation.
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
what is the best way to uses ssis to deal with a CSV file that contains a number of records that contain a different number of fields ?
I could just load as a single column delimited by <CRLF> but then I would have to write the code to parse the line, effectively detokenising the columns myself but if that is the case then why uses ssis at all ?
I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
I have a table GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Speech] ( [SpeechId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PkSpeech_SpeechId PRIMARY KEY, [UniqueName] [varchar](52) NOT NULL, [NativeName] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Place] [nvarchar](52) NOT NULL, [Type] [smallint] NOT NULL, [LanguageId] [char](2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_LanguageId FOREIGN KEY (LanguageId) REFERENCES Language(LanguageId) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE, [SpeakerId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FkSpeech_SpeakerId FOREIGN KEY (SpeakerId) REFERENCES Speaker(SpeakerId) ON DELETE CASCADE, [IsFavorite] [bit] NOT NULL, [IsVisible] [bit] NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NULL ) Now I want to search the Table Speech Sometimes by : SpeechIdSometimes by : SpeakerIdSometimes by : LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeechId And LanguageIdSometimes by : SpeakerId And LanguageId All can have conditions with IsVisible, IsFavorite and Type columns. for example I need all Speeches withany particular SpeakerId and LanguageIdwith IsVisible equals to trueand IsFvaorite No Matterand Type equals to Audio For these type of queries I think the solution is GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sprocGetSpeech] @speechId int = NULL, @uniqueName varchar(52) = NULL, @nativeName nvarchar(52) = NULL, @place nvarchar(52) = NULL, @type smallint = NULL, @languageId char(2) = NULL, @speakerId int = NULL, @isFavorite bit = NULL, @isVisible bit = NULL AS SELECT SpeechId, UniqueName, NativeName, Place, Type, LanguageId, SpeakerId, IsFavorite, IsVisible, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate FROM Speech WHERE SpeechId = @speechId AND UniqueName = CASE WHEN @uniqueName IS NULL THEN [UniqueName] ELSE @uniqueName END AND NativeName = CASE WHEN @nativeName IS NULL THEN [NativeName] ELSE @NativeName END AND Place = CASE WHEN @place IS NULL THEN [Place] ELSE @place END AND Type = CASE WHEN @type IS NULL THEN [Type] ELSE @type END AND LanguageId = CASE WHEN @languageId IS NULL THEN [LanguageId] ELSE @languageId END AND SpeakerId = CASE WHEN @speakerId IS NULL THEN [SpeakerId] ELSE @speakerId END AND IsFavorite = CASE WHEN @isFavorite IS NULL THEN [IsFavorite] ELSE @isFavorite END AND IsVisible = CASE WHEN @isVisible IS NULL THEN [IsVisible] ELSE @isVisible END Can anyone tell me?

i.e i wanted to represent data by quarter and year and group by quarter and year for interest_payment column but for balance i need to pick up the value from the first reporting date in that quarter ,so as you can see q1-2004 has 10,15 and 20 but only 10 is accounted as that was the first reporting date in that quarter
I have my query working for interest payment but i am not sure how do i pickup the first reporting value for balance in a quarter
SELECT report_year as "@date",'Q'+CAST(report_quarter+1 as varchar(1)) as "@quarter", SUM(a.balance) as "@balance", SUM(a.interest_payment) as "@interest_payment" FROM (SELECT *, (reporting_date%100 - 1)/3 as report_quarter, reporting_date/100 as report_year FROM employee) a GROUP by report_year, report_quarter order by report_year, report_quarter
That would be just the rows 1 6 3 0 2 6 1 0 2 5 3 0
If I use this:
Select CustomerId,PartNum, shipped, QtyInOrder AS MaxOrderedNotShipped from (SELECT [CustomerID] ,[PartNum] ,[QtyInOrder] ,shipped , row_number() over (partition by [CustomerID], PartNum order by QtyInOrder desc) as recid from [SILK].[dbo].[MaxofGroup]) as f where recid =1
there is no restriction, so I get the shipped...If I alter the where clause to work only on not shipped, I get no records...as below
Select CustomerId,PartNum, shipped, QtyInOrder AS MaxOrderedNotShipped from (SELECT [CustomerID] ,[PartNum] ,[QtyInOrder] ,shipped , row_number() over (partition by [CustomerID], PartNum order by QtyInOrder desc) as recid from [SILK].[dbo].[MaxofGroup]) as f where recid =1 and shipped=0
While playing with SQL Server 2000 I found you can specify the selection criteria in either the FROM clause or the WHERE clause: e.g. select * from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key and a.field = 1
Is logically the same as: select * from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key where a.a = 1

I have a SQL table to hold my product information: prods(prodnum(char(10), prodname(char20), quantity(int))
The values in prodname column are like: ABCDEF ADCDEF BCDEFG CDEFGH
For those products that sold out, I made a mark in the front of prodname, like *ABCDEF
Then in my query, I want to sort the product name in alphabetic order, in addition, I also want to put prodname start with * at the end of the result list, like:
ADCDEF BCDEFG CDEFGH *ABCDEF
I tried to use: select prodname from prods order by prodname
this query shows *ABCDEF is on the top of the result, then I tried:
select prodname from prods order by charindex('*', namecode)
this query does put *ABCDEF at the bottom, but other records are not in alphabetic order.
Could you please help me? Many many thanks! Jiang"
hi all... how do i write my where clause if i wanna search BETWEEN something to something, but at the same time, find ALL if user send nothing (''), NOT searching for '' column... and also find date if they send a date, and if they dont send date, do not consider date at all(find all at any dates).. is this possible to in one where clause without any IF statement... thanks..

I am just learning SQL server 2005 and I am having trouble with the sql statement of my sqlcommand. I am just trying to query for any ticket that was open yesterday. I need this to run daily If I run the following it works SELECT Assigned_Group, Assigned_Technician, Date_Created From "Support Center Ticket" where "Date_Created" > '08/30/2007 00:00:00' and division = 'Northern'
however when I change it SELECT Assigned_Group, Assigned_Technician, Date_Created From "Support Center Ticket" where "Date_Created" > convert(varchar, getdate()-1, 101) + ' 00:00:00' and division = 'Northern'

I have a query that searches through a 4 million record table. The data is fed from the UNIX flat file systems so the data is not in optimal search format. So I created some views that massaged the data and then index them. I select and join the original table with the view, with NOEXPAND hint on the view. My question is this theory right: If I put the criteria in the FROM join part then it will make the join easier than if I put it in the where clause?
Example (any difference) SELECT stuff1, stuff2 FROM UglyData u INNER JOIN MassageTable m ON m.RecNumber LIKE '112%' AND u.ID = m.ID versus SELECT stuff1, stuff2 FROM UglyData u INNER JOIN MassageTable m ON u.ID = m.ID WHERE m.RecNumber LIKE '112%'
I am creating a .aspx page that links with Miscrosoft SQL Server 2005 Express. It includes a GridView control that displays all the table data on the page. You can then select a record from the control (currently by clicking an image button to the left of each record- is there any way of selecting the record by clicking anywhere on the row? How would that be done?) and it displays the data in a detailsview control below where the data can be changed etc. The data is like a phonebook (Name, Telephone number, and some other misc fields) and the user should be able to search by either name or number to filter out the records shown in the gridview control. I have two textboxes for this, and I started with the name text box and it works fine. i.e. with one filterparameter and one filterexpression. So that if you just enter 'Da' it filters out the records displaying only those whose name starts with 'Da'. I have experimented but have found no way of including filter expressions to use the number as a search. I added the second filter parameter (under sqldatasource control so that: <FilterParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="DestinationName" ControlID="txtName" /><asp:ControlParameter Name="DestinationNumber" ControlID="txtNumber" /> </FilterParameters> But I don't know what to do for the FilterExpressions. currently I just have: FilterExpression="DestinationName LIKE '{0}%'" i have tried using "DestinationName LIKE '{0}%' OR DestinationNumber LIKE '{0}%'" but it requires that both text boxes have data entered.
What I want is something that allows the user to enter either a name or number or both (all or part of so don't need to enter in full name/number) and it filters out the records accordingly. I.e. if you enterd 'Dav' and '079' it would bring back all the records who had a name starting with Dav and a number starting with 079. However if you enterd just 079 then it should just bring back all records with numbers starting 079 whatever their associated name.
I have a text box that is used to submit stock symbols that are to be saved in a sql table. The symbols are to be separated by a space or a comma (I don't know which, yet). I want to retrieve the symbols later to be used in a query, but I don't know how to get the symbols in the proper string format for the query, eg
The symbols are stored in the tables as: A B C D The query string criteria would look like: IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D')
The IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') citeria would be the values in the @Symbol variable in this SPROC
SELECT a_Name_Symbol.Symbol, a_Financials.Revenue FROM a_Financials INNER JOIN a_Name_Symbol ON a_Financials.Symbol = a_Name_Symbol.Symbol WHERE (a_Name_Symbol.Symbol @Symbol) ORDER BY a_Name_Symbol.Symbol
Is there a slick (ie easy) way to change the contents entered in the text box (A B C D) into IN('A', 'B', 'C', 'D') ?
I have a database with some over normalized tables in it. The best I can do with one query is get the file ID. In the second query I want to get all the file names, based on all the fileID's I got from the first query. How would I go about doing this?
I have a table with a record that looks like the attached TXT.
I need to keep the most recently entered value where flag_out = 1 and delete those duplicate records, and this should only apply to records where there's also an flag_in value of 1.
I've tried a bunch of delete statements without avail....
How can you handle multiple criteria query in T-SQL ? i wrote selection query and in my where clause i have about 7 different criteria and for some reason when i run the query i do not get any error but i do not get any data return.
So is there any other way to handle multiple criteria in T-SQL ?
I'm having a problem writing a SQL query that excludes certain data. This is for a pay stub application to display current and previous paycheck stubs. To calculate certain data such as YTD figures and time off, we SUM on other tables. However, to display correctly, I can't SUM bonus checks for the current payperiod ONLY - but for previous pay periods, I must SUM bonus checks.
Here's an example of my data:
No code has to be inserted here. No code has to be inserted here.
No code has to be inserted here. No code has to be inserted here.
Right now my SQL is this:
Code: SELECT PR04PTF.PayCheckNo, SUM(PR11ERF_History.PayCheckAmt) AS [TotalSum] FROM PR04PTF
INNER JOIN PR11ERF_History ON PR11ERF_History.EmployeeID = PR04PTF.EmployeeID AND PR11ERF_History.PayPeriodEnd <= PR04PTF.PayPeriodEnd
I am trying to increase the price of an product by a user entered % for items with Dishwasher in the itemdesc.
Below is the procedure I have which doesn't appear to show any errors in the SQL Developer.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE AdjustPrice( pItemDesc IN ITEM.ItemDesc%TYPE, pPercent IN NUMBER) IS BEGIN UPDATE Item SET ItemPrice = ItemPrice + ItemPrice * pPercent / 100 WHERE ItemDesc = pItemDesc; END;
This is my run script:
BEGIN AdjustPrice ('%Dishwasher%',10); END;
I think the problem is with the way I have done the run script to filter to items with Dishwasher in the description. I tried LIKE an that didn't work either.
The key to this problem is the "valueID". The first digit of the value is significant - the "1" and the "7" in the above mean the values are parts of different groups of search criteria.
What I need to do is to select from this list into a temp table all those bookings (identified by AdBookingID) which have valueIds of both types - i.e. an row in the table where the valueId starts with a 1 and a row in the table where the valueId starts with a 7 - in the above data sample the only AdBooking which qualifies is 98220.
I worked out a method of doing this going by the number of entries each item had in the table:
select count(distinct valueId) as valueId, adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID into #worktable from #tmp group by adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID having count(distinct valueid) > 1
Which is largely accurate. But - and here's the killer - although each adBooking can only have one valueId starting with 1, it can have multiple entries starting with 7. These bookings are rare, but they do exist and are causing anomalies in the data returned which - if you recall - must only contain booking records for which there are valueId entries with both a 1 and a 7.
Can anyone suggest a way I can get just the data I need? Cheers, Matt
If I have a table (lets name it table1) contains the columns: Customer Name, Creation date, Call status and I want to create a query for the last call status per Account name how I am going to do that via sql? I tried :
SELECT DISTINCT customer name, creation date, call status FROM table1
And I got less rows but there where still duplicates (customer name) since the call status was different..
Hi, I have a problem which is probably really simple to solve but I have gotten a tilt and cant get it...Hoping you can help me. What Im trying to do in pseudo-code:
Get A from a tableX where B = 0
Check tableY for each A and get B from there
Update all B in tableX where TableX.LotNo=TableY.Lotno with the value from TableY.B
I have a query in access that is running extremely slow and I'm trying to find a better way to write it. It appears to be the criteria statement that is causing the lag. Is there a better way to write this? And unfortunately I have to keep it in access.
