Contains Not Working Or Probably It's My Head......but Anyhow I Need Help
Jan 25, 2008
Hello!
I try to execute the below statement on a column, I've been trying on a row where subType3 contains this string ",31,32,34,23,55,54,39,44,51,52," without the ",. The column is declared as varchar(MAX)
SELECT subType3 FROM aTable WHERE CONTAINS(subType3, '32')
The above statement executes and returns the result as expected, BUT if I execute this:
SELECT subType3 FROM aTable WHERE CONTAINS(subType3, '55')
then nothing is returned. I can't see any real pattern, 32, 34 and 54 returns the row. If I try with any of the others nothing is returned....Why is this?
I sort of need to use contains, if I dont wan't to start chopping up the string and patindex or something like that. Patindex works by the way, but when I have many values then it gets a bit cumbersome using anything else than contains.
Thanks for any and all help,
Cheers!

Hi all !
I have a table where there are a number of columns with varchar(20) and varchar(255).
I am looking at a table with 4 varchar(255) and 10 varchar(20) 's.
I have to estimates the size of the table.I can do that given the rowsize and the number of rows in the table.
My problem is what is the kind of over head that I need to take into account when I am dealing with a table with soo many variable length columns when calculating the row size?
What is the over head difference between char datatye and varchar datatype?
I can't go for char datatypes now.
Help and info regarding this is very much appreciated.
regards
Sush.

Question:
How do I return a list of items that matches one or more criteria that I pass in?
Background:
A user enters a sales lead (a company is looking for a place to have their event). That lead has a number of
criteria elements (start date, end date, city, region, maximum room rate, one or more amenities, etc. - more
details below) that should be used when trying to find Hotels that match that criteria. Obviously, some
criteria is more important than others (city, start and end date are more important than the maximum room
rate) - and it's unlikely that many (if any) of the Hotels will match *all* of the criteria entered by the
user. So, I'm looking to return a list of Hotels that match at least one of the criteria - if possible,
ordered by how many criteria elements match.
What makes this query particularly difficult, is that some of the criteria to match are stored in multiple
tables. For example, each Hotel has "Amenities" (Golf, Spa, etc.) - that are stored in a seperate table.
When a user enters a lead, they select which amenities they want to match. Also, a lead specifies a number
of rooms to block for each day between the Arrival and Departure date - these numbers can change from day
to day - but for this query - I think it's acceptible to get the largest number of rooms needed from any of
the days and compare that one number against the "MaxDailyRoomBlock" field of a Hotel (represented by the
"Property" table). Also, since a Hotel has different rates defined for each season, the query will have to
match the "MaxRate" against the rate of the correct season based on the Arrival and Departure dates. Also,
the rate can be within 20% of the stated "MaxRate".
Here are the following variables that will be passed into the query as criteria items:
RequestCity, RegionINDEID, ArrivalDate, DepartureDate, MaxRate, MaxTheaterSeating, MaxBanquetSeating,
MaxSchoolSeating, MaxBreakoutRooms, MaxRoomBlock
I know this is a huge post - and I sincerly appreciate any help you can provide.

I am the IS manager for a medium business. I am also the DBA and the programmer and help desk and trainer etc etc.
In 2003 I embarked on a project which went live in 2005. We contracted to have our order processing system rewritten into SQL. I went from a character based 4GL language called Progress running in a UNIX enviroment to a knock down, drag out, full blown microsoft solution. I have been operating this new system for two years making modest enhancements and improvements as my skills with microsoft are increasing and improving (retraining my brain to think objects)and hiring contractors to do the really cool fun stuff.
I have to learn Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, SQL Express, T-SQL, Replication, Reporting Services, SSIS, IIS, DTS, Visual Source Safe, Visual Studio, VB, C#, ADO.NET and the .NET Framework fits in here too although I don't really know where.
I hope you are starting to understand my feeling of being 'in over my head'. Right now everything is running perfect. I do backups, restore them and create new reports. Basic stuff.
On top of this our company has merged with a larger one and this bigger company does not have a microsoft solution. They have an AS400 home grown application that I do not want to learn. I will not go backwards!!!!! I will loose my job/position in the next couple of years. I want certifications (to get that interview).
I just don't have the skills to back up the certification (I don't want to be one of those exam cram people) I do a plethora of unrelated taks all day long. Not because I have to do them I choose to do them. I like both DBA and Programming.
So, if you were me, and could get certifications and have experience to back them up what would you do first?

I have a table that contains categories, users, modifydates . All three of those fields may be repeated many times.
I need to build a table that contains user, modifydate, oldcategory, newcategory, duration (number of days between modifydates when there is a category change)
I can use the min(modifydate) to get the 1st occurrence of each new category, but I am having trouble populating the oldvalue and then also getting the duration.
Adding to the complexity, I have to take the last entry of a null category prior to category being populated the first time and populate it with the first occurrence of category, Likewise, I have to populate the first occurrence of null after the last occurrence of a popoulated category. In other words, this simulates populated categories prior to first occurrence and after the last occurrence.
Any help would be great.

I'm trying to write a script that will go against sysprocesses (I think) and find the head of a blocking chain, and how many SPIDs it is blocking on down the line.
I found a reference to a script called head_blockers.sql in the Swynk Scripts database (posted March 2000), but the script appears to no longer be available for download.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi
I have a huge matrix with 8 columns and then all the data that's generated when choosing a date span. These 8 columns are Topic, Salesperson, Company and so on and then the right part of the matrix grows with values for each month.
My problem is that there are no column headers for the first 8 columns!! How come?
What I did to resolve this was to put in a table in the top left cell and then write in the corresponding column header. This works €¦ in IE but not in PDF or Excel. And I really need it when I export it to Excel.
Any ideas?
Kind regards.

Data apx (5 million rows):
Span example:
-------------M---------------
___________-------------Rx-------------
Needs to b converted to this (ignore the underscore, used for spacing):
---M-------|-------M & Rx----|---Rx--
The time spans can slide either way.
Data example:
MemberID Eff_Date Term_Date Med_COB Rx_COB
1 20050101 20050912 Y N
1 20050310 20051120 N Y
1 20060101 <null> Y N
1 20060101 <null> N Y
Resulting Records need to be in this format:
MemberID Eff_Date Term_Date Med_COB Rx_COB
1 20050101 20050310 Y N
1 20050311 20050912 Y Y
1 20050913 20051120 N Y
1 20060101 <null> Y Y
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. We are running SQL2K. I like most people,would like to stay away from cursors and loops if possible.

Here's My scenario,
I am using SQL2k5 with sp2. In have three branch stores in my site each with SQL 2k5 and a master server at headoffice also with SQL 2k5. The sales transactions for each store goes to a table called sales transaction. What I need is that the info from the sales transaction of each branch populate the sales transaction table at the head office, but not vice versa. That is to say the sales transaction table at each branch must have their information alone and no information from any other branch. Only the head office must have sales transactions from all branches in it's table. What type of replication do i use and how do i implement it?
Muchas muchas gracias.

Hi
Just started using Visual Studio Express 2005 (Web) with Server 2005 Express and I am trying to extract the data from a SQL but cannot find how to connect to and open a SQL recordset so as to use the values of a single record dotted around a page. I would be using the values in the <Head> and <body> areas of the page. The body of the page would utilise standard data grids for sub and sub data, this being no problem.
Below is how I would have retrieved the "EndDate" value from an Access databse under asp.
Set Conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") Conn.Open "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../private/Drapers.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" rs.open "SELECT * FROM Products where ID = 44", Conn, 3, 3 rs("Metta1") rs("Metta2")
The following is from the Web.config file
<connectionStrings><add name="ConnectCB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|CBBasic.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings>
I have tried lots of things that were either code that was superceeded or just plainly didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

On our datawarehouse server we are regularly having a 1203 error, causing the sql-server to hang. We get this message in the errorlog: Failed Assertion = 'm_activeSdesList.Head () == NULL'. In the knowledgebase I found a bug description that is very lookalike to our problem.
Article: Q240853 FIX: Lock Escalation With Parallel Query May Cause 1203 Error And Server Shutdown
*** part of the article ***
SYMPTOMS
If a lock escalation occurs while running a parallel query, it is possible to encounter error message 1203 as follows:
spid7 Process 7 unlocking unowned resource: KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd)
spid7 Process 7 unlocking unowned resource: KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd)
spid7 Error: 1203, Severity: 20, State: 1
spid7 Process ID 7 attempting to unlock unowned resource KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd).
spid7 Error: 1203, Severity: 20, State: 1
spid7 Process ID 7 attempting to unlock unowned resource KEY: 13:117575457:2 (35010560ebcd).
The error message included in the error log probably mentions the same lock resource in several of the error messages.
Once the error is printed, an assertion message similar to the following is also printed:
1999-08-09 13:15:26.79 kernel SQL Server Assertion: File: <proc.c>, line=1866 Failed Assertion = 'm_activeSdesList.Head () == NULL'.
After a dump of the stack for all threads, the server initiates a shutdown of the SQL Server process.
...
*** end ***
You can find the complete article on: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q240/8/53.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0
We can't use the workaround, because that would shut out parallelism, which is necessary for the project.
There is a fix, but in the article Microsoft says: "A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.".
You understan,d this is not one of my favorite type of fixes...
Does anyone have already installed the fix mentioned? Had any problems with it, or did it cause some other troubles?
Thx,

hi
I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.

I am writing a pgm that attaches to a SQL Server database. I have an Add stored procedure and an Update stored procedure. The two are almost identical, except for a couple parameters. However, the Add function works and the Update does not. Can anyone see why? I can't seem to find what the problem is...
This was my test:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Update", cn)
'Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Add", cn)
Try
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserId", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = UserId
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
[...etc more parameters...]
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ContactId
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Label1.Text = "done"
cn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
End Try
When I use the Add procedure, a record is added correctly and I receive the "done" message. When I use the Update procedure, the record is not updated, but I still receive the "done" message.
I have looked at the stored procedures and the syntax is correct according to SQL Server.
Please I would appreciate any advice...

Original suggestion for my problem was - Select * from TableA where ID not in ( Select ID from TableB)
When I run the query below using the IN operator I get 227 records returned but when I use NOT IN I get zero records when I expect well over 10,000. What am I missing?
using SQL 2000 server
SELECT LinksInfo.L_ID, LinksInfo.C_ID, Companies.C_CompanyName, Companies.C_Email, Companies.C_CompanyEmailFROM LinksInfo INNER JOIN Companies ON LinksInfo.C_ID = Companies.C_IDWHERE (LinksInfo.L_ID IN (SELECT ZL_ID FROM Location_Zip))

Hello again,
I think im missing something here, i just cant find out what it is.
I have a temp table:
CREATE TABLE #tempSearch(tempID BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,username NVARCHAR(20) COLLATE Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS,lastlogin DATETIME,signupdate DATETIME)
Now i am trying to retrieve some data for each user that is inside this tempSearch list and have an id over xxx (xxx = the value of the parameter @first_id):
SELECT @sql = 'SELECT profile_publicinfo.username, profile_publicinfo.gender, profile_publicinfo.signupdate, profile_profilephoto.imageurl, profile_profilephoto.alttext, settings_username.color, profile_publicinfo.lastloginFROM #tempSearch INNER JOIN dbo.profile_publicinfo ON profile_publicinfo.username = #tempSearch.usernameINNER JOIN dbo.settings_privateinfo ON settings_privateinfo.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameFULL OUTER JOIN dbo.profile_coolfacts ON profile_coolfacts.username = profile_publicinfo.username FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.profile_profilephoto ON profile_profilephoto.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameFULL OUTER JOIN dbo.settings_username ON settings_username.username = profile_publicinfo.usernameWHERE (profile_publicinfo.username IN (SELECT username FROM #tempSearch))AND #tempSearch.tempID >= @first_id'
SELECT @paramlist = '@first_id int'EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @first_id
I need to get the tempID from the tempSearch table in order to compare it with @first_id
When i run this i get the same username repeated like 30 times then it moves over to the next, when i debug the #tempSearch it looks fine, just the users that are suppose to be there.

My problems is that it doesn't generate the tables and I am following the SQLXML2.0 documentation as closely as possible.
Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to generate the tables? Running it doesn't even produce an error.

Hi,
I am on a box with 4 GB of memory that only runs SQL Server. SQL Server is using 1.7 GB as per task manager. There are a lot of databases on this box. I looked at the boot.ini and /3GB was not set. I have done this at least 50 times before: turn on the /3GB switch and SQL Server will use up to 2.7 GB per task manager. (I know it is actually 2GB and 3GB but it seems that in task manager it shows up as 1.7-1.8 and 2.7-2.8)
Anyway back to the story. So I set /3GB, rebooted the server and SQL Server still only consumes up to 1.7GB. I realize that SQL Server might not actually need more memory, but I have a distinct feeling that it wants more but is being constrained; that is, the the /3GB switch is not working. More relevant information:
1) the boot.ini line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect /3GB
2) max server memory (MB) = 3000
3) min server memory (MB) = 3000
4) awe enabled = 0
5) @@version = 8.00.2039 which is SQL Server 2000 SP4
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

In SQL2000 Enterprise manager, there is always an indication of WHICH server & database an object is opened from when it has focus.
So when I'm working on the same table in test and production servers I can tell at a glance what it belongs to.
I cannot seem to duplicate this in any way in SQL Manager 2005 Express which could lead to all sorts of trouble and really slows me down.
Have I missed something really simple in setup or use of the product?

How can I verify that AWE is actually working? The server is SQL 2000EE on W2KAS with the /pae switch.I've allocated 5000Mb (5Gb) for SQL but Performance monitor says theworking set for the sqlservr process is only 91Mb (it started out ataround 87Mb a couple of days ago and seems to be creeping up)."committed bytes" for the server is about 5.6 Gb out of ~6Gb so there'sa whole pile of memory going somewhere.The error log says "Address Windowing Extensions enabled" (sp_configindicates a "1" for this as well). The "max server memory" item says5000 Mb for its "running" value so within the SQL Server things appearto be correct.The server does seem to be performing better but it's hard to decide ifthat's because of AWE or just the fact that it was rebooted (it hadn'tbeen in a while).- Martin

I've built an application that relies pretty heavily on XML to enableflexible creation of data entry forms and storage of the data enteredinto those forms. Currently, it stores data as an XML document in anntext field. This is great because it allows me a great deal offlexibility in creating fields. However, I need to implement searchingand sorting of that data and I don't know how to do this in an efficientmanner.Currently the data is stored in a format similar to this:<form><fieldname>fieldvalue</fieldname><listfieldname><items><item><label>displaytext</label><value>itemvalue</label></item></items></listfieldname></form>Is there any way to perform searches on data like this, i.e. to searchthe "fieldvalue" in <fieldname> or "itemvalue" in <value>?If there isn't a way to do this, I'm willing to re-structure thedatabast architecture, though the solution would still need to allow thesame kind of flexibility that the XML solution does.Any ideas?Thanks,Kelly

Hi all,
This is a question related to AWE settings. I am on windows 2003 ent version with SQL Server 2005 std version. I have configured SQL Server to use AWE and min memery as 22G and max as 26G (I have 32G in total as physical memory). I do see the message in log as "Windows Address ... Enabled", but when I am using performance monitor to view total memory in kb for SQL Server, it never starts at 22G (usually at 1G). And I doubt why? The account I am running SQL Server is an admin account, so it can definitely locked down the pages in memory. Also, I do think AWE is working somehow, after several hours in running, the total memory will up to 8, 9 or 11G. So, apparently, it is over 2G per process limitation. I still want to know.
1. Is my AWE setting working?
2. If not, how to fix that?
3. How to confirm how many memory is actaully using by SQL Server?
Thanks,
NIng
