Create A Relational Diagram From Non-relational Database
Aug 4, 2005Hi all,
I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it)
So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters)
But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state:
Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram.
'agent' table saved successfully
'VisitUSA' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'.
What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table?
Thanks!

Relational Data And RDA
Aug 1, 2006I have a few questions for you guys. I have a client
application that can be offline or online. While offline, records can be added and need to be later synced to production.
I will use rda to pull the table down, and this is working fine. Now what if I
have multiple tables where I want a foreign key relationship?
With rda I can only pull down one table at a time from
everything I've read. Now say create a constraint after pulling the two or more tables down. While in offline mode I create a new record on two seperate tables with foreign key/primary key relationship.
When I do the push to the server will it automatically
update the foreign key reference (locally) to the right one on the production
server? Or will I get a duplicate primary key error? On the production server the primary key will be different because of the identity. This is very important because I will have multiple clients.
Thanks in advance
SQLDataSource Relational Data
Nov 14, 2005I am just now starting the switch from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. I really like the new way of using the SQLDataSource and setting up Views declaratively as opposed to doing it all in code, which brings me to my question.In some of my applications I have a single Stored Procedure return multiple result sets to a single DataSet where I have a DataRelation set up. Then I can have nested DataGrids that use the GetChildRows() method to filter the results to display the hierarchical data. I would like to do something similar with the SQLDataSource and GridViews but haven't found a way to get multiple result sets.One thought I had was to create a Strongly Typed Dataset and then use the ObjectDataSource object, but I still didn't see a way to get child rows out of the datasource. I've seen an example that uses a <FilterParameter> to get nested data, but there is an extra trip made to the server for each parent item as it just put an extra parameter in the WHERE clause of the query.

How To Flatten Relational Data For Analysis
Mar 22, 2007Hello everyone, this is my first post here so hopefully I am not asking a common question.
I am trying to create a flat dataset in SQL 2005. Basically I run a query and I get multiple rows for the same primary key. The query I am running is quite large and has several different tables connected to it, here is a small sample of what it looks like...
Typeid(Primary Key) Individual Address
1 Sam 912 Ave. J
1 Sam 913 Ave. Q
1 Sam 914 Ave. R
2 Mike 1000 Ave. O
3 Jill 1001 Ave. O
I want it to kind of look like this
TypeID Individual Address_1 Address_2 Address_3
1 Sam 912 Ave. J 913 Ave. Q 914 Ave. R
2 Mike 1000 Ave. O
3 Jill 1001 Ave. O
As I said before, this query is pretty big, and has several variables like Address where multiple rows are being taken by one Primary Key.
If it is not possible to do this in SQL 2005, is there a program that may be able to? Right now we are using SPSS as sort of a bandaid... we run the query in small portions like the one in the sample and then restructure the in sections but this takes several hours.
Anyways, thanks for any help that you may be able to provide.

Fast Loading Relational Data
Apr 8, 2006I am searching for a way to fast load relation data. I know how to load data fast but how can i store relation data fast.
For example :
Table1 ( tabel1Id int identity , name varchar(255) )
Table2 ( tabel2Id int identity , table2Id , name varchar(255))
When i insert 50 records into Table1 i can't get the 50 identity fields back, to insert the related data into Table2.
I think one of the solutions could be returning a selection of
Table1 joined with syslockinfo, but i have no idea how to do it.
Does anyone have an idea?
Xml File Import - Relational Data
May 19, 2006Hi,
I have played around with SSIS in addition to reading an SSIS book front to back, but I am still a little confused as to how to import an Xml file with relational data.
The Xml file is structured as follows:
<products>
<product>
<name>
<id>
<category>
<name>
<id>
</category>
<fields>
<field>
<name>
<value>
</field>
<field>
<name>
<value>
</field>
</fields>
</product>
</products>
Basically I want to import the Xml data into three tables: categories, products and fields. A product can belong to one or more categories and has one or more fields which store information about the product.
Using the Xml Source component I can load the Xml from the file, but I can only output one section (category, product or field) at a time. Since the relationship is infered from the hierarchical structure of the Xml (e.g. the fields don't store an ID of the product they belong to), I am not sure how to import the relationships into my tables.
If anyone has any tips on how I can go about that, then it would be most appreciated :)
Thanks!
Need To Insert Data Into 2 Tables, Relational Having Problems
Mar 7, 2007Ok, I have a page on my website where we can add products to our database. We are a music store, and most products have different versions or colors. I've created 2 tables, Products and Subproducts. The products table may hold info like Fender Stratocaster, and the subproducts would hold colors (Blue, Sunburst, etc). The subproducts table has an integer field called MainProductID, which is linked to the mainproducts table field RecordID. So far the page uses a wizard where if first creates the main product using an sql datasource. After the data has been added to the main products table, my page gives you the opportunity to add different sub products. The problem I am having is actually feeding in the RecordID from the main products table to my insert parameter on the sub products data source. This is what I have tried so far: There is a formview on the page that is bound to the main products table, after the entry is created I can physically see the info on my screen, so I know the data is there at my disposal SubProductsDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("@MainProductID", Formview1.datakey.item("RecordID"))SubProductsDataSource.Insert()Using this adds the data to the table, but the MainProductID is nullalso is there a cheap little way to refresh a page, because when I upload the product images I have it go to the next step where you are supposed to be able to see the images you uploaded, I don't see them which makes me think that the page is loading faster than the images are uploading. Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedMatching Relational Records. Is It Possible Using Data Minig?
Jun 20, 2006Problem:
I am working on a price comparison system which matches the best prices for a purchase (or an order) from exisiting purchase data.
The order is stored in multiple tables including order details (stores major items purchased: e.g., PC) and order sub-details (optional items purchased with the major items: e.g., speakers, backup device, webcam etc.).
There could be a number of major items in an order and each major item could have multiple related sub items. The other variables that affect the price include trade-ins if any, sales going on at the time of order, number of units etc.
Now, for any new configuration (major items/related sub items), the system should be able to return a list of previous purchases made with similar configurations, and similar variables (quatities, trade-ins etc). Even if the same model is not present, similar pcs by the same vendor should be considered. etc etc.
Questions:
Is this possible using Data mining?
If yes, which algorithm is recommended?
Also, can I assign/modify any kind of weights to certain variables (if same model: .6 ; if same model not available but pcs made by same manufacturer available: .3 ; by other manufacturers: .1)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jojy

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error Converting Data Type Numeric To Decimal.
Aug 31, 2004Hi There,
I'm using C# to get a value for a DOUBLE precision variable, called "Length", from a textBox using the following line:
Length = Convert.ToDouble( txtLength.Text )
I'm also using the following lines to prepare my stored procedure call:
arParms[9] = new SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5);
arParms[9].Value = record.Length;
My stored procedure has the following parameter definition:
@Length decimal(9,3)
My problem is that if someone types a value bigger than 999999 in the textbox he will get for sure the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error converting data type numeric to decimal.
I don't know how to either make sql or C# to truncate the value or catch the exception to automatically assign 0 to the parameter.
Please Help.

Converting Text Data To Ntext Data
Mar 27, 2006Hi all,
My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.
I brief you about my system, I used List manager system to store the messages and distribute to all members. Right now,by design the Lyris system keep the message in the text field which mean it 's not support multilanguage directly because of unicode field. We needs to create new Db which has the data structure as same as Lyris but just one difference is keep the message in unicode format (ntext) which we need the sql script to automatically update the new record get from Lyris to new DB.
If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.
Thanks a mil, in advance.

Converting Data Types
Jul 3, 2007Having a slight problem. For whatever reason I had a column setup for nvchar but the only data i have in there is dates (MM/DD/YY) and a whole bunch of NULLs. I wanted to change the datatype to datetime but it gave me an error. I thought it was due to all the NULLs, so I removed all the nulls. It still doesn't work. I get the error : Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
I don't belive its because I have the data in mm/dd/yy format. I created another table and populated it with mm/dd/yy data as nvchar (50) and then converted to datetime and it worked fine.
any ideas?

Is there a way to change the datatype and have the oddball values left blank without bombing out the conversion process?

Converting Hex Data To String
Jan 21, 2001I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows:
'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications).
I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string.
set @SEQNUM = 4095
set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM)
PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc.
PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'
Any ideas? I am very new to TSQL...
Converting SQL Server Data Into XML
Apr 11, 2006Hi Folks!
I have the following sql script I wrote using Explicit Option to convert data from SQL Server tables into a single XML file. I am aware of the tedious nature of the select statements, but this seems to the only option I have to depict parent-child nature of the data in XML format and also to schedule it as a job to run via SQL Server Agent.
My problem is that as I run this using the following command, I get "There is insufficient system memory to run this query" error.
I am using the following commnd:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "EXEC swr_cv2..sproc_BuildXMLTree" queryout "C: est.xml" -U -P -c -r -t'
Is there any way I can tune my query to fix that error?
Thanks so much for your help!

Converting .sql File Data
Oct 29, 2006Hi,
I have two postcode databases in .sql ready to dump into my existing database, the first sql file is 300megs and
the second one is 300k, the reason the second is so small is because it misses out the last 3 letters of the post
code, i dont need theese last 3 digits anyway.
Basically i want to convert the second file so that it is compatible for me to import it into my database and use.
the first file looks like this
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101GY',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1476,-2.0975);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101NP',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1074);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101RQ',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1107);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101TT',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1431,-2.114);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101WX',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106AA',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.135,-2.1156);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106DE',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1377,-2.1173);
And the second file looks like this:
insert into `hwz_postcodes` values ('postc',0,0,0,0),('AB10',392900,804900,57,-2),('AB11',394500,805300,57,-2),('AB12',393300,801100,57,-2),('AB13',385600,801900,57,-2),('AB14',383600,801100,57,-2),('AB15',390000,805300,57,-2),('AB16',390600,807800,57,-2),('AB21',387900,813200,57,-2),('AB22',392800,810700,57,-2),('AB23',394700,813500,57,-2),('AB25',393200,806900,57,-2),('AB30',370900,772900,56,-2),('AB31',368100,798300,57,-2),('AB32',380800,807200,57,-2),('AB33',355200,815100,57,-2),('AB34',350800
Is there any utility out there that can do this for me? What about the co-ordinates systems, they look incompatible,
so the converter would need to be able to convert the co-ordinates aswell. It would also need to add in all those nulls.
once the file is converted i would then import it through the sql command line.
Why am I such an SQL n00b!???

Converting Data Question
Oct 11, 2006I need to combine two columns and copy them to another. One column is varchar and one is decimal (3,0) and the destination column is int. The column of decimal contains only 1 and 2 digit numbers. I need to perface a 0 to the data with 1 digit before combining the two columns. If someone could guide me here, I'd appreciate it. I've been trying to use cast and convert with no success.
