Clarification On Mixed Join Types

Apr 10, 2008

Hi,
I'm seeing confusing results coming back from a query and I want to make sure my joins are working as expected.

I have 3 tables, tbl_family, tbl_familyPhone, and tbl_phone. tbl_FamilyPhone is a linking table between families and phones that specifies if it's the primary number.


tbl_Family tbl_FamilyPhone tbl_Phone
--------------- ------------------------- ----------------
pk_FamilyID pk_FamilyPhoneID pk_phoneID
fName fk_FamilyID fk_TypeID
lName fk_PhoneID ...
... ...

So a family has many familyPhones and a phone has many family phones. I'm trying to get all the families and their home phone only, if they have one. I don't want families to duplicate and I don't want any left out. Here's what I've got





Code Snippet
select [whatever]

from tbl_family
LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_familyphone on tbl_family.pk_familyid = tbl_Familyphone.fk_familyid
inner JOIN tbl_phone on tbl_familyphone.fk_phoneID = tbl_phone.pk_phoneid and tbl_phone.fk_phonetypeid = 'E6F1688E-015B-481D-8C41-DCC1FEA5D5AB'






My thinking is the inner join between tbl_Phone and tbl_FamilyPhone will cause any FamilyPhone record without a phone record to be left out (fk_phonetypeid is the id of a home phone). Though some FamilyPhone records may be left out, I will not lose any families because it is left outer joined to familyphone. Is this right? Because if I just do select count(*) from families I get 4517 records, but when running the query above with the joins, I get 4383 records.

Mixed Chart Types In SSRS

Feb 8, 2008

Hi,

I am trying to create a graph that consists of a bar chart and line graph - both to appear on the same graph.

They will show different information, but will essentially come from the same dataset.

So far I have not been able to achieve this and it would seem that you cannot mix chart types. This is very disappointing given the plaudits associated with this product.

Can anyone restore my faith in this product by telling me that the above is possible and, if so, how do I go about it.

Thanks very much.
Lee.

Two Join Types In One Select Statment

Mar 7, 2007

Will writes "I have an employees table, which gives all emp. ids. I have a second table, time_log with tasks each employee has logged:

empID date log_time duration etc
===================================

and a 3rd table - a pivot table with a single column named "i" containing consecutive integers from 0 - 1000

I need to know for each date in a series, e.g seven consecutive days, how much time each has logged. easy if everyone has logged a task for every day, but I need to include every day where they have not logged a task.

so, a cartesian join on all the dates in a series(produced using dateadd on p.i and the pivot table)

SELECT dateadd('d',p.i, #02/19/2007#), e.empID
FROM pivot1 p, employees e
WHERE i<no_dates

However I need to do a left join with time log where the date and employee ids are the same, and I have summed the durations for each date. The following query does this, but does not include dates and times where nothing has been logged.

SELECT empID, log_date, sum(duration)
FROM time_log
GROUP BY empEIN, log_date

GIVING, EVENTUALLY, ALL DATES AND EMPIDS AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE LOGGED FOR EACH DAY."

SQL Server 2012 :: Join On Different Data Types

Jun 11, 2014

We have a query that joins column A int which is an int onto column B with contains only int's but was created as a varchar and can't be changed to an int at the moment.

Casting column a as a varchar in the ON of the join to left join seems to void the index altogether and the query just runs for every.

We are talking a few hundred million rows of data in each table.

Temp solution is select into a #Hash table as correct data type and index then use the #Hash table in the join.

Clarification

Jan 22, 2008

I just finished getting a local database mirrored to an offsite "DR" server. Interesting experience getting that working, but that's another story! It's set up as "High Safety without automatic failover (synchronous) (without a witness). I was hoping I could get a sanity check in this flow....

Local database gets updated each morning with a few meg of data, so it's pretty low use. It's mirrored through a T1 (soon to be dual). My remove copy was restored from yesterday€™s backup, and the mirror was sync'd in less than 10 minutes, so I don't expect bandwidth to be an issue...

In the event that my local server or network is down, I'd be able to log into my remote server, and run my application remotely. From what I've seen, the "Failover" option is only available on the "Primary" server? Will this become an option if the remote no longer sees the primary, or do I need to do this through the command: ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET PARTNER FORCE_SERVICE_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS?

Since the updates are so limited, I'm not too concerned with data loss, but will need to make sure I can get this running quickly if needed...

As I understand it, this will put the mirrored database as the primary, and when the old primary comes back only, it'll become the new mirror? I can then let them sync, and force a failover from the remote system to put the primary back to the local network.

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly before I start testing. Thanks for any assistance!

Sql Types - Simple SQL Server Queries/handling Variable Types

May 26, 2005

SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1

I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.

Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types.  The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.

For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates.  In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string.  This seems to be very cumbersome.  Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?

so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data?  with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually?  I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...

Confused!

Thanks,
JJ

Clarification On DataReader

Jan 19, 2006

I want to create a DataList that shows products, which will be on
multiple pages. I have my stored proc to show paged results, which
contains a return value for more records.
I have found examples of coding the DataReader, defining all the
parameters etc, but what about the drag and drop SqlDataSource?? You
can select the DataSource Mode to be "DataReader". I can put select
parameters in, with input and my return value. I don't know how to then
access the return value, or output value if needed, from this? My
DataList references the SqlDataSource, but I don't know how to get the
return/output value out??? This is very frustrating, cause I can't find
any info about it anywhere. Always input parameters, but no output.
This is my current SqlDataSource...

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
DataSourceMode="DataReader" ConnectionString="<%$
ConnectionStrings:Personal %>" SelectCommand="sp_PagedItems"
SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
        <SelectParameters>
           
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="Page" QueryStringField="page" />
            <asp:Parameter Name="RecsPerPage" DefaultValue="10" />
           
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="CategoryID" QueryStringField="cat"
/>
           
<asp:Parameter Name="RETURN_VALUE" Direction="ReturnValue" Size="1"
/>
        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>

If I take out the RETURN_VALUE Parameter, my results display in my data
list, but that's useless if I can't access the return value to
determine the remaining number of pages etc. Is my RETURN_VALUE
parameter wrong? How do I access that? My stored proc is shown below...

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_PagedItems
   (
    @Page int,
    @RecsPerPage int,
    @CategoryID int
   )
AS

-- We don't want to return the # of rows inserted
-- into our temporary table, so turn NOCOUNT ON
SET NOCOUNT ON


--Create a temporary table
CREATE TABLE #TempItems
(
   ID int IDENTITY,
   No varchar(100),
   Name varchar(100),
   SDescription varchar(500),
   Size varchar(10),
   ImageURL varchar(100)
)


-- Insert the rows from tblItems into the temp. table
INSERT INTO #TempItems (No, Name, SDescription, Size, ImageURL)
SELECT No, Name, SDescription, Size, ImageURL FROM Products WHERE CategoryID=@CategoryID

-- Find out the first and last record we want
DECLARE @FirstRec int, @LastRec int
SELECT @FirstRec = (@Page - 1) * @RecsPerPage
SELECT @LastRec = (@Page * @RecsPerPage + 1)

-- Now, return the set of paged records, plus, an indiciation of we
-- have more records or not!
SELECT *,
       MoreRecords =
   (
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM #TempItems TI
    WHERE TI.ID >= @LastRec
   )
FROM #TempItems
WHERE ID > @FirstRec AND ID < @LastRec


-- Turn NOCOUNT back OFF
SET NOCOUNT OFF

Clarification Needed

Jul 23, 2007

I hope someone can help here. I found that I was having replication failing due to the fact that there is a foreign key being referrenced, here is the error:
Could not drop object 'dbo.tblName' because it is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
(Source: Database Name (Data source); Error number: 3726)





In searching for some sort of answer - I came across this:
Join Filters




Foreign key relationships are central to most database designs. For example, in a database that tracks product orders, you often see a CUSTOMER table with a CustID primary key and an ORDER table with a CustID foreign key that references the CUSTOMER table. In merge replication, if you filter the CUSTOMER table with a subset filter clause, you must also filter the ORDER table, so that only the rows that reference the filtered subset of rows from the CUSTOMER table are replicated. Filtering requirements that are based on a foreign key relationship must be explicitly represented in the merge replication configuration through a join filter (which lists the two related table articles and a logical expression that identifies the relationship), as shown in the following example:CUSTOMER.CustID = ORDER.CustIDThe effect of this join filter between the CUSTOMER table and the ORDER table, together with the subset filter
clause on the CUSTOMER table, is that Subscribers to the publication receive only those rows from the CUSTOMER
table where State = 'WA' and only those rows from the ORDER table that correspond to the CustID
values in the filtered CUSTOMER table.
________________________________________________________________________
Am I reading this right? If I have only one table that I need to replicate, I would need to included the other tables connected by
the foreign key for the replication to work, and in doing so - the table I designate for updating in this replication will be the only
one affected and the others that have go with this - won't update their corresponding dupe tables? Sorry - I hope this makes sense.

Clarification On Variables!

Apr 1, 2008

I have a question , because I€™m not very experienced with VB.

The function declares

Public myString
Public myKey

When something is declared this way, what happens if two or more users happen to execute the report at the same time? Is myString and myKey public to all of those reports at the same time, or does the Report Server manage those variables separately for each of the reports running concurrently?

Any clarification on this......................?

Clarification For 'WHERE' Statement In A Dropdownlist

Collation Clarification/ Internationalisation

Nov 21, 2007

Hi,

I am working on a SQL Server database that will be accessed (mainly) via a web interface that will have users from various countries. As I understand it, the best way to store data is to use 'n' (nvarchar etc) datatypes for columns, which allow users to enter data and it will be stored in the raw Unicode format. For other reasons the collation of the db has been changed (to Slovenian) but I understand that this will only affect how data is sorted. However, whenever I try to put certain data into the nvarchar field (Such as the £ symbol) the data get transferred to a letter L. Is that how it would be expected to work and if so am I missing something here - note I Know ent manager sometimes shows data incorrectly, but this happens when I add/view data from anywhere (i.e. end manager/ the website/ query analyser).

Any clarification would be much appreciated.

Table Lock Option Clarification

May 5, 2008

Does the Table Lock option in the OLE DB Destination task in a data flow refer to a lock on the destination table or on the source table from which the table is loading from?

The reason I ask is because I have a package run twice simultaneously pulling from the same server and table onto two different tables on two different servers. When I kick off my job to run the two data pulls, one of the jobs terminates with a

"TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." message. I believe this is due to a table lock on the server, but can't figure this out.

Thanks in advance for your help.

DB Engine :: Clarification On MDF / LDF Sizes And Backups

Jun 7, 2015

My environment looks like:

- Windows 2008R2 SP2 VM (VMware 6)
- SQL 2012 SP2 Std.
- NetApp iSCSI LUNs, Snapmanager for SQL

So I have created a test database and configured the logs to grow to max. 120MB in size.

To check the allocated and free space I right-clicked the database -> tasks -> shrink file

I see currently allocated: 5,00MB and 2,50MB free space for the MDF Database
I see currently allocated: 1,00MB and 0,63MB free space for the LDF Logfile

Next I use a data generator to fill the database with random data.

After adding around 500k rows I check the size again:

I see currently allocated: 17,00MB and 0,44MB free space for the MDF Database
I see currently allocated: 61,94MB and 0,27MB free space for the LDF Logfile

Next I take a full backup incl. truncating log files. After that I check the size again:

I see currently allocated: 17,00MB and 0,44MB free space for the MDF Database
I see currently allocated: 61,94MB and 57,24MB free space for the LDF Logfile

So now my question is where are those 56,97MB? I imagined they should now be added to the MDF file but they seem to be just gone. I did this procedure 2x more time and the MDF stays the same size while the LDF is almost empty after backups. Then I thought maybe its in the memory of the server so I rebooted it. But still the MDF has the same size... Is this normal? How it should work?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Modify Size For Datafile Clarification

Mar 25, 2014

From BOL, I see these remarks with respect to the MODIFY FILE subcommand (my underline added):

Initializing Files
By default, data and log files are initialized by filling the files with zeros when you perform one of the following operations:

Create a database

Add files to an existing database

Increase the size of an existing file

Restore a database or filegroup

Which leads me to believe that expanding the size of a datafile will also wipe out (my definition of 'initialize') any existing data within that file.

I may be misunderstanding 'initialize', because when I tested it out, I found this wasn't the case - my table data written to the file was still there after a resize.

Need to clarify to what degree I'd be taking a risk by increasing the file size on a datafile which already has data in it.

Setup And Upgrade :: Clarification On Non-integer Constants Are Not Allowed In ORDER BY Clause In 90

May 15, 2015

We're upgrading our SQL Server database from 2005 to 2012.I ran the Upgrade Advisory report and got this issue "Non-integer constants are not allowed in the ORDER BY clause in 90" because of the script below

SELECT
gp.BRAND+' <> '+gp.CATEGORY AS 'full name',
gp.PRODCODE,
gp.CATEGORY
FROM dbo.GFK_PRODUCT gp
ORDER BY
'full name'

I tried running the same query in our test SQL Server 2012 and it ran successfully. Now I'm confuse if i still need to change it.I google the issue a bit and came across this link and mentioned this.

1.) Non-integer constants are ... constants that are not integer number.

Example: 'string1' represents
a string constant
0x01 represents
a varbinary constant
{ts
'2015-02-26 06:00:00'} represents a datetime constant

1.23 represents
a numeric constants

2) So single quotes are used to define a string constants / character string constants but SQL Server allows also to use single quotation marks use also as column identifier
delimiter:
SELECT ... expression AS 'Column1'
FROM ...

In this context is clear that 'Column1' is a column identifier but when used in ORDER BY : ORDER BY 'Column1' it generates confusion because SQL Server doesn't knows if it represents a string literal (character string constant) or it represents a column identifier / column name."Do I still need to change the existing code even though it's working fine in 2012? If yes, it is because of best practice reason or it will total get deprecated/not working in the future version?

Mixed Authentication

Aug 26, 2005

In the scenario where you are installing MSDE/SQL Server at a customer site (not your own) is this true:

Assuming the customer has a (Windows) login with admin rights (or is a member of the admins group) over the PC which the server was installed on, there is no way of locking the customer out of any part of the SQL Server installation and its databases as Mixed Authentication (which you can't turn off) will always allow members of the (Windows) admins group to also be a member of the SQL Server admins group???

Mixed Authentication

Hi All,We have started to get the strangest errors with our SQL Server. We useWindows and SQL Server authentication, and have done successfully forthe last year or so. However last week i had trouble connecting to theenterprise manager with my domain credentials. Users connecting to QueryAnalyser have no problems when using their SQL Server logins, the issueonly seems to arrise when a Domain account is provided forauthentication. If we reboot the server all is well for about 1 - 2hours and then we loose the Domain credentials again. Even SQL Agentfails to work when stated with the DOMAINAdministrator account!As i said this has worked for a long time, and we have not made anychanges to the Domain or installed any patches for any of the servers.The error messages normally involve something along the lines of "NoUser 'NULL' blah blah" and "No Trusted SQL Server". We also have anexcel report that is failing with the SQL Server error number 18452. Ihave looked this up on MSDN, and this seems to fall in to the samecategory as our other errors.Any Ideas?We can't reboot the server every 2 hours!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Mixed Bag Questions (only 13)

Apr 26, 2007

Hi everyone,

Ok guys, I€™ve summarized doubts regarding SSIS as well as odd behaviour that sometimes I suffer for my lack of knowledge or for other reasons.
So this way, I€™m a pain and bore individual only one time€¦

Question 1:

When you have a ForEach container, i.e using as enumeraton ADO and you are debugging and seeing how is going everything, whats tasks are executing and so on, you never knows if those that were in green (executed succesfully) now are executing again or not.
Well, I€™ll try to explain better: In every iteration of the loop, tasks previously executed keep its colour (green) instead of turn into white.

Question 2:

Parameter Size property is a new property for Sql Task when you have installed sp2. Well, what is it for really? I mean I€™ve got some .dtsx with Sql Tasks and its values are simply -1

Question 3:

When you€™re debugging a dtsx you have in the bottom locals showing you variables and so on. Problems come when you have more than 40 variables€¦ is there any search tool? Ok, you can use

Question 4:

Outline for the tasks is lost all the time. What a nuisance! Concretely it happens in workstations running either sp1 or sp2. Amazingly it works fine in a server (2003). Memory is not related, I€™m afraid, in all the scenarios 2Gb.

Question 5:

Is it possible disallow math case for variables?
Sometimes when you€™re using lots of variables, it€™s easy commit errors when you write code.

Question 6:

Assemblies 1.0/1.1 will be allow in VSA in a future??

Question 7:

Is it possible to change the scope for a variable in run-time? Devious question, I admit€¦

Question 8:

When you€™re writing a Script Task you can export the script into VB extension and then be imported from a project or whatever.
What does make sense?

Question 9:

ScriptTask_32dcba2feae9428386d768f38922e162 (that€™s an example) is really stored anywhere? (When you save a script task inside the IDE)
Root NameSpace is too symbolic??

Question 10:

I€™m developing against Windows 2003 english version. The whole Sql25k too. No spanish at all but sometimes I receive spanish messages related with SSIS.
I don€™t understand how it can be.
Nothing to do with for the fact I€™m using Terminal Server, I guess.

Question 11:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1518311&SiteID=1&mode=1

Question 12:

In a foreseeable future C# will be welcomed to SSIS?

Question 13:

Is it true that there is a separate Framework 2.0 for SSIS?



Thanks indeed for the patience!!!

Data Mixed Up After Update

Apr 12, 2005

Hi!
I have quite strange problem, that I haven't seen before.
When I use update command:
UPDATE categorys SET banner_valid= '0', section_id= '1', main_cat_default= '0', banner= '', b_link= '', external_text= 'NÄ?kotnes parks ', in_frontpage= '1', name = '100. pants' WHERE (id = 130)
Then the field EXTERNAL_TEXT should have value NÄ?kotnes parks but instead of this it makes it Nakotnes parks.
I changed collation to Latvian and this did not work.
But!!! When I open Enterprise manager and just type in NÄ?kotnes parks  and save it then it is ok, but it does not work with Update/add script
Any help or ideas???

Arithmatic With &#39;mixed&#39; Strings

Sep 5, 2001

Is it possible to convet a string with characters and numbers to an all numeric value (e.g. '010-112d3') and then perform arithmatic on the converted value?


Here is what I need to do:
given the original value of: 01011201
I need to order a result set by asc order of the difference between the original and each individual record.

If this was all numeric I would simply:
select...,(01011201 - column1) as difference from table1 order
by difference

BUT my recordset looks like this [010-112d3, 01011202, 0a511345...] so I get
I get arithmatic overflow errors (due to the characters). Ive tried casting as numeric and binary and even converting the string to ascii value but that only works for single characters. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, This search will be the most common hit on the database so a cursor is not really an option.

Thanks,

I would like to set 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode' of Sql Server 2005 so when user connects to Server he must supply username and password. Here are steps I make :



1. Open Microsoft SQL ServerManagement Studio Express
2. In Object Explorer right click on first (Server) node
3. Select 'Properties'
4. Select Page 'Security'
5. set 'Server authentication' to 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode'
6. press OK
7. in popup window fill password ******** and press OK
8. get error message ''operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SqlManagerUI)

How correctly to set above Server mode ?

Why I get the error message and how to solve it ?


Thank you

Sql Server Mixed Mode

Jun 7, 2007

Hello everybody



I program in C# with SQL Server 2005. I need to connect to Server in security mode.

In connection string I supply
UserID = myuser
Password = mypassword
Persist Security Info = True



In Server I set mixed authentication mode,create login 'mylogin' with password = mypassword
after that in my database I create user with username = myuser and loginName = mylogin



There are two problems :

1. in login creation after I fill password, close window and open it again there is old (default) password
but not my password
2. Application fails to connect to DB





How to solve these problems ?

Thank you

One Or More Columns Do Not Have Supported Data Types, Or Their Data Types Do Not Match.

Oct 20, 2007



Hi,

I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:

at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.

So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:

The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.

The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.

The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination

thanks.
