Calculate Growth Percentage

Feb 5, 2008

I want to be able to display the percent of growth for databases on the server. My query has the file sizes and names and the dates, its done monthly . How do i create a field with the growth % from one month to the next, or from one date entry , to the next. so it appears like this

2006 2007 2008

23000 % growth 3400 %growth 20000

keep in mind, this is how it is displayed in reporting services with a matrix(crosstab)

Here's my query



Code Snippet
SELECT RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.AutoId, RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Server_Description,
RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Database_Size_Datetime, RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Database_Description,
RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Database_Size_Mb, RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Database_Location,
RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics.Database_File_Name, DbSTAT.MonthlyDBTotal
FROM RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics INNER JOIN
(SELECT Database_Size_Datetime, Server_Description, Database_Description, SUM(Database_Size_Mb) AS MonthlyDBTotal
FROM RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics AS Tbl_Database_Statistics_1
GROUP BY Database_Size_Datetime, Server_Description, Database_Description) AS DbSTAT ON

Calculate The Growth Percentage Or Previous Dates Values

Feb 7, 2008

This code displays dates, File name, and File size for four seperate dates 11/20/2007 , 11/30/2007, 12/30/2007 and 01/31/2007 . I'm trying to show the percentage growth from date to date (ie 11/20/2007 -11/30/2007 percentage growth)

is there a way i can get the previous date file size for each entry, so i can have a variable for the calculation. Or i can get the calculate it within this code (ie database_size_mb / ((database_size_md ) where database_size_datetime -1) *100
or whatever the formula is for percentage growth.




Code Snippet
SELECT
Database_Size_Datetime,
Database_file_name,
Database_Size_Mb
FROM RC_STAT.dbo.Tbl_Database_Statistics AS Tbl_Database_Statistics_1
GROUP BY Database_Size_Datetime, Database_file_name, Database_Size_Mb

this is what it displays now:

Reporting Services :: Matrix - Percentage Growth Same Period Previous Year?

Aug 4, 2015

I'm trying to creating the following matrix in SSRS 2008R2 (with more product categories than shown here)The matrix only shows the last two year per product.
                           
The matrix in the report builder looks like this:

For me it's unclear what the expression should be. (or perhaps I need to make a calculation in my TSQL?)

As Row Groups in the matrix I've got: 

Product; Year

As Column Groups i've got Month

I can't get it to work. Previous doesn't seem to work in this case (only when I got a total of each year (e.g. one column instead of 12))

Calculate Average Growth Rate

Apr 30, 2008

I've got a statistics table that I've been writing to for about 2 years now. Every saturday night, a size (in MB) snapshot of each DB file is taken and dumped into this table. I'm then emailed a copy for that week.

Now, I'm trying to figure out what the fastest growers are. Here's the table ddl

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DBSizeStats] (
[statid] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[LogDate] [datetime] NULL ,
[Server] [varchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[DBName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[MDFName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[MDFSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
[LDFName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[LDFSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
[TotalSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO


What I'm trying to figure out is how to query the average monthly and yearly growth percentages per DB on the MDFSize column.

I'm usually pretty good at this sort of thing, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to solve this issue. I'm not having a very good math day.

what am I missing here?

SSRS Report Question To Calculate Overall Percentage For Individual Employee

Feb 22, 2008

Hi All,

I have an SSRS reports that uses a list table to display the name of staff and the name of the department that he supports as well as the number of hours they support the department. Below would be a sample of the report:

Name Department Hours
Staff 1 Dept 1 2
Staff 1 Dept 2 4
Staff 1 Dept 3 1
Staff 2 Dept 1 2
Staff 2 Dept 4 1

Now I would like to add 1 more column to show the percentage (%) of time spent at the department for the employee. Therefore each employee % of time spent will be 100% spread over all the supported departments. So the report will be as below:


Name Department Hours Time(%)
Staff 1 Dept 1 2 28.57
Staff 1 Dept 2 4 57.14
Staff 1 Dept 3 1 14.29
Staff 2 Dept 1 2 66.67
Staff 2 Dept 4 1 33.33

Is this possible to be created in SSRS as this is really required. If not is there any thing I can do on the DB or data set to show the time %.

Thanks & Regards,
Fadzli

Tran Log Growth

Aug 14, 2001

Does this seem right? We have our transaction logs set to "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and they still grow over 1GB. Is it possible that one transaction (to a checkpoint) generates this much logged information? Will transaction log backups every 5-10 minutes help me out better or is this just a poorly written application?

Thanks!

Tempdb Growth Help

Mar 6, 2001

I am having a problem with the growth of the tempdb on my SQL 7.0 box. I have over 300+ stored procedures that are running (many with group by and order by in them). This is causing the size of my tempdb to grow to over 30gigs in size. If i reset the services of the DB it shrinks back down to the managable 6 gigs that i expect. Is there a way to have the services restart automatically on a nightly basis or is there a way to have the tempdb deallocate resources once they are used without restarting services?
I apreciate any help you can provide,
Nathan

Growth Of A Database!!??

Sep 17, 2007

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner in SQL Server databases, my problem is this:

i'm making a database witch the frontend is an access project, the database has several stored procedures views and user functions (the normal..), but a few data, (only the experimental), last night i've noticed that the file grow from 22 MB to 89 MB, the objects are the same and also the data, the only diference was that i forgot to put in an event procedure code, the ADO method, "MoveNext", to update various records, and the loop was infinit.
Is it possible that SQL statments generated by ADO make the file grow so rapidly!?
If so how can i shrink it, because i've tried and and the results was 4%.

Can you help me!?

Thanks

I need to write a page that figures out the percentage of students passing an assessment item where students are from a particular school, grade, gender, and are not medically exempt.
I did a Count Statement on all test taker, and another Count Statement for the number passing the item who were not exempt.  Both of the statements are shown through seperate datalist controls.  I then want to get the percentage by dividing the number passed by the number taken and mulitplying that by 100. 
Is there a better technique or can I do this in a sql statement somehow?

Help With Percentage

Jun 3, 2008

Hi i create a temp table that count how many A,B,C and D there where in a table.

I need calculate the percentage.It could be easy put the problem is that i cannot devide by the same number.

Here my temp table DECLARE @Temp table
(
strLastName varchar(50),
strFirstName varchar(50),
strReponse char(10),
strNomObjet nvarchar(200),
strDescripteurOrdre char(10),
strNomDescripteur nvarchar(200),
strObjetOrdre char(10)
)

I want to check how many A there is.

SELECT strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur,count(*) FROM @Temp
WHERE strReponse = 'A'
GROUP BY strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur

This will give me somthing like this
For the first one there 25 A
Second 27 A

NOMBRE ET OPÉRATIONSdémontre une compréhension du concept du nombre25
NOMBRE ET OPÉRATIONSpeut faire les opérations sur les nombres pour résoudre des problèmes27

After that i use


SELECT count(*) FROM @Temp
GROUP BY strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur

That will give me how many person have been tested.

It will give me this
36
36
35
36
35
36
36
35
35


So i need to take the first 25

25 / 36 * 100 = 69.4%
27 / 36 * 100 = 75%
26 / 35 * 100 = 74.2%


I hope you understand what i mean!
Any idea?
Tks in advance

Top N Percentage

Jul 23, 2005

Hello!I have a need to create a function that will return a sublist ofelements from a table based on an associated column value and itsranking within the table (based on a percentage range).To expand with a simple example (only 4 elements):Element | Value---------------A102 | 5A506 | 10A322 | 15A342 | 20I would like to be able to return the range of elements that lie in the50-75% value range (e.g. third quartile range). Therefore with onlythese four elements I would want to return the element code 'A322'.I have attempted to achieve this by using SELECT TOP n PERCENT. I canbring back the required range by combining two select percentstatements.SELECT Element from ELEMENT_TABLEWHERE Element IN(SELECT TOP 75 PERCENT Element FROM ELEMENT_TABLE ORDER BY Value)AND Element NOT IN(SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Element FROM ELEMENT_TABLE ORDER BY Value)The problem is that I cannot seem to pass a variable to this percentageso if I want another percentage range set, I ave to define anotherfunction.My question therefore is does anyone know either(1) a way I can pass a variable (n) to these SELECT n PERCENTstatementsOR(2) an alternative way of doing this?Many thanks!Andrew

Automatic Database Growth

Aug 21, 2001

I've got a question about the automatic database growth feature of V7. Here's an example:

I have a 1gb db that can grow to max size of 2gb.
I set the auto grow option to 75%
The first time the db grows it will grab 75% of the free space (1gb)

What happens if the database needs to grow again?

Will the db grow using the remaining free space (25%) or
has the database reached its max size because it can't grow any further?

Thanks

Monitoring DB Growth With Sp_spaceused

Jun 19, 2000

Hello,
I started to write a stored procedure to insert into a temp table from sp_spaceused but couldn't get the format right. I did a search in the swynk archive and saw that some people have solved this but I couldn't see any example code. Does anyone have scripts they've written to gather db size info using sp_spaceused or some other mechanism?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
