Can I Use A Query To Find The Next Key In SQL Server?
May 5, 2008
Say the table has a primary key, and the latest value on it is 100, then all the records on that table are deleted... If I INSERT new record, the key will be 101... Can I find out what the key is going to be before inserting a new record to the table?
I want to fetch below 3 records from the above scenario i.e. latest record of each amount (Latest is determined using "descr" column i.e. 4 is greater then 3 -
When I give job Id in filter of this query this will give job status of "Success" but actually my job is currently in executing stage. I want to get all jobs that are currently in executing status.
Use msdb go select distinct j.Name as "Job Name", --j.job_id, case j.enabled when 1 then 'Enable' when 0 then 'Disable'
I have @Year and @Month as parameters , both integers , example @Year = '2013' , @Month = '11'
SELECT T.[Year], T.[Month]
-- select the sum for each year/month combination using a correlated subquery (each result from the main query causes another data retrieval operation to be run) , (SELECT SUM(Stores) FROM #ABC WHERE [Year] = T.[Year] AND [Month] = T.[Month]) AS [Sum_Stores], (SELECT SUM(SalesStores)
[code]....
What I want to do is to add more columns to the query which show the difference from the last month. as shown below. Example : The Diff beside the Sum_Stores shows the difference in the Sum_Stores from last month to this month.
One of my varchar columns in a table has multiple key words enclosed in a pattern of special characters.
Eg: William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world's pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England's national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other [##playwright##].
I need to write to query to find all distinct key words that are enclosed within [## and ##]. My query should yield the following results from the string in the example above
[##actor##] [##dramatist##] [##playwright##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##poems##] [##poet##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##sonnets##] [##verses##] [##writer##]
I need to run this on a large table, so I am looking for the best possible way to minimize any performance issues.
Just give you sample code, I have provided below 2 separate snippets, one with table variable and another with temp table.
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (MyString VARCHAR (8000)) INSERT @MyTable VALUES ('William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world''s pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England''s national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain.
I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I want to find a way to get partition info for all the tables in all the databases for a server. Showing database name, table name, schema name, partition by (maybe; year, month, day, number, alpha), column used in partition, current active partition, last partition (for date partitions I want to know if the partition goes untill 2007, so I can add 2008)
all I've come up with so far is:
Code Block
SELECT distinct o.name From sys.partitions p inner join sys.objects o on (o.object_id = p.object_id) where o.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE' and p.partition_number > 1
We have an app that we do not have the source code for that is behaving badly. I'd like to find out what queries it is running in order to possibly fix the issue form the SQL server side of things. Anyone know what table/view I should select off of to find the queries that have been run recently?
I am trying to find when a name has been entered more than once into 1 database table.
I'm currently doing something like this (can't remember exactly, not at work)
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Cnt, Name FROM tblTable GROUP BY Name ORDER BY Cnt Desc
This brings back all the Names in the database and tells me which are duplicates but I want to just have the results of the duplicate values and not the single values.
Hello, We had 10 scheduled jobs, which run more then 1000 Stored Procedures. I want to map the flow of dependency in Stored Procedure. Like SP 100 is dependent on SP 10, and SP10 was dependent on SP1 in our processing. If SP10 fails, we have to rerun SP1, SP10 and SP100 from Query analyzer. I was looking for a query or method to do find out flow of dependency in Stored Procedure.

i.e The result set gives the top 3 products in each product_type based on the no_of_units.

I've been struggling with this one for quite some time now and would appreciate some help:-
I'm trying to get a list of schools that only has male students. the closest I have so far:-
SELECT Schools.SchoolName, FORUM_MEMBERS.M_SEX , COUNT(Schools.SchoolName) AS no_of_students FROM Schools INNER JOIN FORUM_MEMBERS ON (Schools.SchoolID = FORUM_MEMBERS.SchoolID) WHERE (FORUM_MEMBERS.UserType=4) GROUP BY Schools.SchoolName, FORUM_MEMBERS.M_SEX ORDER BY Schools.SchoolName, FORUM_MEMBERS.M_SEX;
The result is a list of schools:- SchoolName, M_SEX, no_of_students school 1, Male, 11 school 1, Female, 20 school 2, Male, 8 school 2, Female, 1 school 3, Male, 12 school 4, Male, 14 school 5, Male, 8 school 5, Female, 1
But what I really need is schools with only male students:- SchoolName, M_SEX, no_of_students school 3, Male, 12 school 4, Male, 14
Hey - I know that I can find space information about SQL Server. Allocated space, free space, used space, data space, etc... BUT is there a way that I can query how much total/available space is on the actual drive? For example, let's say that I have SQL installed on the D drive of a Server; i also have another application on that drive. I know that I can query how much room SQL Server is using, but can i query how much total/available space is on the drive? Any help appreciated.
I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.
I have an employee table with manager id and employee ids , i need to find all the employee ids for a manager id . Each employee can be a manager in turn . So I need to find all the employees under one manager and if any of the employee is in turn a manager , i need to find the employees under him as well .
The table structure is defined and i cannot edit it .
Please let me know if we could have a single query to do this .
Now I want to run a select query that will only bring the ones that have ‘CA’ or ‘US’ as the first two characters.
I can do that by running this:
select * from tDocISIN where sISIN like 'CA%'or sISIN like 'US%'
But my other where clause I want to add is only bring back the ones that have CA or US as the first two characters and any other character after the first two or in the rest on the string.
So US7636516745 is an ISIN I don’t want to bring back and US763TY16745 is an ISIN I do want to bring back.
The character that does exist after the first two characters will be anywhere within the rest of the string.
Hope that is clearly explain any help would be great.

I have two tables in my database. Some matching rules are associated with these tables and I want a query which will retrieve those data based on the matching rules provided below:
I am using the SSIS Import & Export Wizard to make packages importing data from Access 2003 into SQL Server2005.
In the Access database I am using, there are about 100 tables and 4 select queries.
When I ran the SSIS wizard, it found the first query fine, and the package was made successfully.
Now, I need to make a package to import data using one of the other select queries (it has two subqueries.)
When I run the wizard, the "Select Source Tables and Views" dialog opens and shows all 100 tables, plus only two of the queries, not all 4. Two are missing, including the one I need to do the import.
I cannot see why these two queries would be excluded. One is a compound query (the one I need) the other is not. Is there a limit to the number of objects the dialog can show?
If anybody has had this problem please let me know. For now it's a real show stopper.
