Creating Views
Jun 9, 2004Hi all,
Bit of a SQL server newbie here, I have two tables; Fish (containing Name and ID) and Fishing (containing just a concatonatted FishingID), but to relate the tables i would have to join (reference) the fields in the Fish table ie: fishname and FishID to match the other tables FishingID.
Every time i concanonate the fishname and FishID in the criteria the view doesent run but if i actually write an example FishingID in the criteria the view runs.
How do i refernce the fields in the criteria section?

Creating Views In SQL 2005
Jun 17, 2008can anyone tell me why when I create a view if I do this in my select statement "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS CrewNo" and then save the view the above CAST statement will be changed to this "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS Expr1". After I have it saved and then go back and change it back to "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS CrewNo" it will stay that way. Just looking for a reason why this is happening as I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Jul 20, 2005Recently we upgraded our server from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. I created anew view in Enterprise Manager which pulls data from a linked server'sdatabase. When I write the view...CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW1ASSELECT *FROM LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableNameand I click on the run button it changes to:CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW1ASSELECT *From LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableName TableName_1I can still see the correct results, but the users can't- Once Iremove the TableName_1 they can see the results.When I tried creating a view and did not use a linked server,everything worked fine. Anyone have any answers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPermissions For Creating Views
Jun 6, 2007In database permissions I have granted a user rights to create a view. When she tries to save the view (even save as) it automatically wants to save it to the dbo schema and says she does not have rights to save to the dbo schema.
Two questions:
1) Can I set it up to where she can save a view to a schema which she is the owner?
2) If not, then what permissions must be set to allow her to create / save views but not be able to create, etc. other objects such as tables and stored procedures?
Creating VIEWS (from Oracle To SQL Server)
Nov 20, 2006Cordial greetings,
Again i need help with a couple of issues in migrating from Oracle to SQL Server 2005. I need the equivalent sentence in SQL Server of the following sentence:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW IBA_MPDATOSGENERALES AS (

)
I know that (+) is for outer joins (left or right). I also know that UNION may mean FULL OUTER JOIN. but this query? The real query is a lot more complex, well actually there are just more fields needed from more tables but with this exmple is enough. The bottom line is that i need data from various tables, most of them involved in a JOIN clause. Also check out that in SQL Server doesnt exists the REPLACE word or does it?
Thank you in advance,

Creating Views With Variable No. Of Input Tables
Aug 6, 2007Hello,
I need to create a view which will include an additional table every week of our financial year.
Example: Every week we create a table called Sales_YYYY_WW where YYYY is the Year and WW is the Week, so after the first week we have the table Sales_2007_01 and after the second week we have Sales_2007_01 and Sales_2007_02 etc.. These tables are created evey week and don't exist at the start of the financial year.
I'd like to create a view at the beginning of each year to encompass each table evey week as it is created. If all of the tables were there at the start of the year it would be simple:
CREATE VIEW VIEW_SALES_2007
AS
SELECT * from Sales_2007_01
UNION ALL
SELECT * from Sales_2007_02
etc.
But I don't know how to achieve this when the tables don't already exist. I don't want to have to edit the view each week to add in the new table.
Can anyone out there help me?
No Views After Creating A Database With Restore From Backup
Nov 13, 2007Forgive me if I'm asking a simple question, but I'm new to database administration
I'm trying to migrate a database from a server running Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 to a new machine running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. I moved a copy of a recent database backup file to the new server, and created a new database with Restore From Backup. The tables seem to have restored fine, but my views are non-existent. Has anyone seen this problem before, or does anyone know of something I may have skipped?
Creating A Single View From 2 Existing Views
Aug 9, 2007I have 2 views which contain the following fields:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
QTY,
GROSS_AMOUNT,
SEASON
The 2 views differ by SEASON. I'm attempting to combine the 2 views in to a single view or table grouping by EVENT, WEEK and SUBSCRIPTION:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
Q6 (qty of season 1),
A6 (gross_amount of season 1),
Q7 (qty of season 2),
A7 (gross_amount of season 2)
Below is my select command:
------
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.QTY) AS Q6, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A6,
SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.QTY) AS Q7, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A7,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
FROM dbo.vw_SEASON06 FULL OUTER JOIN
dbo.vw_SEASON07 ON dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK = dbo.vw_SEASON07.WEEK AND
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION= dbo.vw_SEASON07.SUBSCRIPTION AND
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT = dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT
GROUP BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
ORDER BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT
-----
This creates the view but there are some issues. If an 'EVENT' exists in dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT and doesn't exist in dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT the value of the field 'EVENT' is set to NULL because the 'EVENT' name is returned from dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT. The same issue exists for 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' and 'WEEK'.
How can I create a single view/table that will include all the data from these 2 views without the NULL values in EVENT or SUBSCRIPTION?
Any help is appreciated!
Creating Indexed Views For Full Text Search
Nov 30, 2007Hi,
I have problem that Im sure others must have had before so I am looking for advice on the best way to solve it. I have a table of text information tbl_base which is related to another table containing tags, which can contain several rows for each row in base.
I want to create an indexed view of the data for full text search. I would like to select all the tags related to a particular row in the tbl_base together into a string and join it to the end of the tbl_base table so they can be indexed along with the tbl_base data for full text indexing. Ive tried several methods but I am never able to make an index on my view because it say I cant use COALESCE, or Cursors.
Sample data here :
tbl_base
id | Text
------------------------
1 | BLah blah
2 | Dum de dum
3 | HAr HAr
tbl_base_tags
tagID | base_id | TagText
--------------------------
1 | 1 | first
2 | 1 | second
3 | 1 | third
4 | 2 | fourth
The view I want to end up with will look like this :
vw_tables
base_id | Text | Tags
-------------------------------------
1 | Blah blah | first second third
2 | dum de dum | fourth
How can I achieve this? Do I have to index all the tables seperately?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAre Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.
