View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table to which data is being imported via bcp. When I get this data there are some fields nvarchar that has some decimal, for instance 1098.000000 is always 6 zeros..What I want to achieve is to make the above number only 1098

Hello,
Today I ran a query from my ASP page that returned with an error message stating my command had timed out. Fine. I searched the forums (thank god for the internet), and added cmd.CommandTimeout = 120. Great! That solved my problem.
My question is that from everything I read, the command timeout is set to 30 seconds by default. Yet my query runs in 5 seconds or so with the property set, but wouldn't run at all without it. Is it possible my command timeout was set somewhere else to less than 30 seconds? It's almost as if the server THOUGHT it would take longer than 30 seconds, and gave up, before actually running the query (which has all needed indexes to make the query fast). I just don't understand why I was getting this error for what turns out to be a 5 second query. When I shorted the query to 4 seconds or so (reducing the date range for the report), it ran fine in 4 seconds without the timeout error. So basically, going to 5 seconds or more caused this error. Where are the other places that the CommandTimeout property might be set? On the SQL Express database itself? I didn't see any ASP.NET config properties addressing it. Is there somewhere else I can look?
Thanks!

Hello Folks,
I'm looking for the group's collective wisdom on the following issue, I'm sure many have been confronted with it.
I'm designing a db for a website that will utilize SQL Server 7. I have few tables that I think will grow very large row wise and that will be written to an read from frequently. I sense that I might be able to get better perfomance out of the system if I split many of these large tables up (row wise) into many smaller tables.
For example, The website that I'm working on has a "MailingAddresses" db table that contains the mailing addresses for the sites users (subscribers and other misc users - 1 record per user, anticipating 70,000+ users). Each user can update their record, and there will be frequent queries to the tables to get addresses for both internal admin use and for display on public webpages.
The website has five distinct sections that are in some sense like five distinct websites. Each user belongs to only one of these sections and they won't migrate between sections. Therefore I'm considering breaking up the one large "MailingAddresses" tables into five smaller tables, one for each section, i.e., "MAddressesSectionA", ..., "MAddressesSectionE".
These tables will have the same fields and constraints. Also of course there would be the same number of reads and writes in total with the five smaller tables as compared to that for the one big table. Also the combined size of the info in the five smaller tables would be the same as that for the one large table.
Though it's going to more of a pain to manage five tables versus one, I have a hunch it might be easier for the dbms to handle reads and writes with five smaller tables than with one large table...
...Of course this is true when queries are mainly respective to users from just one or two of the sections (as might be the case) - the big table then has the overhead of the address records for users in the other sections. BUT is there any benefit with the five smaller tables route when they are all frequently accessed??? Sure each select query has fewer records to go through, but with all five tables in play the dbms has to deal on average with the same amount of info as in the one big table.
What do you folks think, to divide or not to divide the big table(s) up row wise into smaller tables?
I guess the issue is summed up in this question: In general, can a dbms better handle in memory, and more quickly write to and query access - one BIG table with a+b+...+n records, or N smaller tables with a, b,...,n records respectively?
Thanks for the collective wisdom, - Jerry

Hi,
I tried to backup the master key by the following syntax :
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c: empmaster' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
but it failed and i got the following message:
Cannot write into file 'c: empmaster'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.
NB: I am using the "sa" user to execute this command.
I know that we have a security permission issue , but where and how ?

Hey all.. Sorry I have never written a SP in my life.
so this would be a newbie question for sure.
Using sql server 7.
Here is my table field setup with sample values all fields are numeric
except date
weekending size effic dailycap workdays planutil demand
variance
5/172002 8 80 85 5 244
102 142
A file with source data will be made available in comma delimitted format to
supply a new weekending value, size and demand.
What I will need is first the dts to bring that in. then I am assuming a
stored procedure to be run (this is why I am here)
to add the data from the comma del. file into the table. If the data EXISTS
I would want it to UPDATE the values that are in the dest table but run a
calculation first which would be the planutil minus demand then the result to
be updated intot the record.
if the record from the tab del. file does not exisst in the dest table then
insert it.
another words the logic i have in mind
read the data from the temp tample (where the file gets imported into)
see if the record exists in the live table is it does update it with the calculation of planutil minus demand
if not create the new record in the live table.
I need it to compare..
Someone help me with some code
i thank you kindly in advance
p.s. And good books dedicated to stored procedures??
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can help me write this qry:
To summarise - we have a database that links components to services. Components can have a 1 to many relationship with services. The components are held in a table:
dbo.components
compID compName compType
1 srv1 1
2 srv2 1
3 srv3 1
We also have a services table which hold all our various services we own:
dbo.services
svcID svcName
1052 svc1
1053 svc2
1054 svc3
We then have a tbl that shows the links between components and services
dbo.compUses
svcID compID
1052 310
1052 400
1053 122
1256 134
I would like to find out through the qry what components are currently NOT linked to a service. This will allow me to find out what components have no relationships.
This is in SQL2005.
Have I explained this well enough? Any help would be much appreciated!
Hey peeps, fishkake's back, and he's more clueless than ever!
OK, after a few days of wrestling with books and experimenting, I now know all about reading SQL. Well, what that means is I understand Select From Where etc etc.
How do I write data? I have a reference guide, if somebody could give me literally a few high-level commands that are to do with writing data in a similar way to reading it with the SELECT statement, it would be very helpful...
This site is just making me lazy now...

Hi,
I have to implement a search functionality. In the various filters for the search, Store Number is one such filter.
The user should be able to enter range values for store numbers.
Like 1500-1600. So this should filter for all the stores between 1500 and 1600.
Similarly, all these also should be valid.
1550,1600
1550
1550 - 1580,6000,8000
etc.
I have function which identifies the commas or dashes and seperates out the store number and returns a string like
Stores.Storenumber in(1555,1600)
Store.StoreNumber between 1555 and 1600 etc...
i generate a sql at run time and append this piece and then execute the sql.
I have one of the query below.
declare @strQuery varchar(max)
declare @strConcat varchar(10)
declare @strAppend varchar(max)
set @strAppend=''
set @StrConcat ='And '
if @IsAdmin is null-- Not a Admin
set @StoreId =(select StoreNumber from Stores where Store_Id = @StoreId)
set @strQuery='
Select
(Select StoreNumber from Stores where Store_id=d.DestinationId) as StoreNumber,
CartonNumber,
ActualReceiptDate as [Scan Date],
isnull(Sum(QtyShipped),0) as [Total Units],
b.BatchNumber
from
Carton c
left outer join
CartonDetail Cd on Cd.Carton_Id = c.Carton_ID
inner join Batch b on b.General_Id = c.Carton_Id and b.BatchType=''Warehouse'' and b.TranTable=''Carton''
inner join Document d on d.Document_ID = c.document_Id
inner join Stores st on st.Store_ID = d.SourceID and st.StoreType =5
inner join Stores on Stores.Store_ID = d.DestinationID
inner join Codelist cl on cl.Codelist_Id = c.CartonStatus_ID
inner join Codes on Codes.Code_ID = cl.Code_id and Codes.CodeType=''Cartons Status Code''
where not c.cartonNumber is null '
if not (@StoreId) is null
begin
set @strAppend = @strConcat + '(' + dbo.DecodeStoreNo(@StoreId) + ')'
End
if not (@DateFrom) is null and not (@DateTo) is null
begin
set @strAppend = @strAppend + @strConcat + '(convert(varchar(50),c.ActualReceiptDate,101) between ''' + @DateFrom + ''' and ''' + @DateTo + ''')'
End
if not (@CartonNumber) is null
Begin
set @strAppend = @strAppend + @strConcat + '(c.CartonNumber = ''' + cast(@CartonNumber as varchar) + ''')'
End
if not (@Status) is null
Begin
set @strAppend = @strAppend + @strConcat + '(cl.Codevalue = ''' + @Status + ''')'
End
set @strAppend = @strAppend + ' group by
d.DestinationId,CartonNumber , ActualReceiptDate , b.batchnumber
order by ActualReceiptDate'
set @strQuery = @strQuery +@strAppend
execute(@strQuery)
This query takes time, if there a little over 1000 records.
I wanted to know, if there is any way to optimize this query? or any other way in which the above can be accomplished.
I hope i was able to explain my query fairly. Please let me know otherwise.
Thanks
Renu.
