I am creating a table that will store my companys annual punctuality
scale. What is the best way to name the columns? Here is some sample
rows with data.
--------------------------------------
DPT_CODE_1 | 300 | 121 | 120 | 61 | 60
DPT_CODE_2 | 360 | 241 | 240 | 121 | 120
Thanks for any advice.

ok - I have to allow my user to enter in from date - to date (multiple date selections) and these dates will be marked as holiday..
user will also be able to choose a date selection (like march 2-march 5)that was added and remove it from being marked as holiday or add new date selections.
now I need to be able to based on a date lookup whether it is a holiday or not.
what's the best way to set up the table?
should I set it up with fromdates = todates or a table with each individual date and then mark it.
what do you suggest as far as the table set up?
hello,
i started making my database some time ago, and therewith i maked some relations between my tables
at the beginning, at Tables, at the UserId row, i had uniqueidentifier. and because i had some difficulties when trying to get the username who corresponds with that uniqueidentifiers i've discarded that and replacing the uniqueidentifier with varchar(255) where i am writing dirrectcly User.Identity.Name.
Because of that, i had to delete some of the tables relations, because i can make relations only by unique variables (witch in fact are unique but database can't know that)
What i should do now? remake the tables with UserId as uniqueidentifer or i should let it so without no relations between them? (witch i don't think is good)
thanks
Hi,
I have the following two tables in MS SQL 2000
1.Products:
ProdID intProName char(10)
2.Orders:
OrderID intProdID intOrderDate DateTimeQuantity int
I want to join these two tables to form the following result format:
_________Prod1__Prod2__Prod3__Prod421/01/07__1______0_______1_____0___22/01/07__5______1_______2_____3___23/01/07__8______0_______1_____2___24/01/07__3______3_______4_____3___25/01/07__2______0_______1_____4___26/01/07__1______2_______6_____2___
So the first row would have the product name, Left hand column has the order date and then the sum of all the orders within
Any pointers on how to achive this would be great.
I have asked a similar question on SQLTemp.com, but I thought I would ask here in case there are people here that don't visit SQLTeam and can help me.
I have to tables:
tbSiteworkPriceList
ItemID | Descr | Material | Labour | Travel | Boarding
-----------------------------------------------------
1 | Finishing | 0.25 | 28 | 42 | 65
tbSiteworkCostTypes
CostTypeID | Descr
-------------------
1 | Materials
2 | Labour
3 | Travel
4 | Boarding
Now, the tabels above are a sitework price list for an estimating package. The tbSitworkCostTypes table is used to trace the value of the particular item back to an account after the item is added to a takeoff. My questions are:
1) How should I tie each items variable (Material, Labour, Travel, Boarding) to its appropriate cost type?
2) Should I divide the table tbSiteworkPriceList above into 2 tables as shown below?
tbSitworkPriceList
ItemID | Descr
1 | Finishing
tbSiteworkCostItems
fkItemID | fkCostTypeID | Price
-------------------------------------------
1 | 1 | 0.25
1 | 2 | 28
1 | 3 | 42
1 | 4 | 65
This seems to be a little better in the point of view that each item variable is linked to the appropriate cost item by joining the tables tbSiteworkCostItems to tbSiteworkCostTypes. They have to be linked because after the takeoff is generated, the dollar values have to be imported into an accounting system where the account code and cost type code are determined by the "CostTypeID". Any thoughts?

I've been assigned to do the data access layer for an existing SQL database created by someone else. Amazingly enough, the primary table, the one containing all of the records that are central to the db and the whole project, has over 3000 entries and no unique identifer (autonumbered ID) column. The data in all of the other columns is repetitious so none of them can be used as a primary key. I have added a column called TaskAssignmentID, designated as an int data type. The goal is to somehow autofill this column with sequential numbers and then designate that column as the primary key. (don't you just love fixing other people's mistakes?) Any suggestions/examples on how to accomplish this the easiest, most efficient way?
For reference purposes, the table is called tbl_MCHS and the newly created column is called TaskAssignmentID. The data type of the column can be changed, if that would make it easier.
Tools available include Visual Studio 2005 (very familiar) and SQL Server 2005's SQL Server Management Studio (less familiar).
Things I am restricted from doing include blowing away the table and starting over or strangling the previous developer (I asked about both). :-)
Any and all suggestions, steps, or examples will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
Hi,I have two tables Table A and B, below with some dummy data...Table A (contains specific unique settings that can be requested)Id, SettingName1, weight2, lengthTable B (contains the setting values, here 3 values relate to weightand 1 to length)Id, Brand, SettingValue1, A, 1001, B, 2001, null, 3002, null, 5.3(There is also a list of Brands available in another table). No primarykeys / referential integrity has been setup yet.Basically depending upon the Brand requested a different setting valuewill be present. If a particular brand is not present (signified by anull in the Brand column in table B), then a default value will beused.Therefore if I request the weight and pass through a Brand of A, I willget 100If I request the weight but do not pass through a brand (i.e. null) Iwill get 300.My question is, what kind of integrity can I apply to avoid the userspecifying duplicate Ids and Brands in table B. I cannot apply acomposite key on these two fields as a null is present. Table B willprobably contain about 50 rows and probably 10 of them will be brandspecific. The reason its done like this is in the calling client code Iwant to call some function e.g.getsetting(weight) .... result = 300Or if it is brand specificgetsetting(weight,A) ..... result = 100Any advice on integrity or table restructuring would be greatlyappreciated. Its sql 2000 sp3.Thanksbrad

I need to identify the ResponseId values for rows that contain redundant StudentUin/TemplateId/MidEndFlag values, so that I can delete those rows. ResponseId, while not the primary key, is a unique value in this dataset. I thought I might use a cursor to parse this, but the real dataset is exceedingly large, and would like a set-based solution.
Best,

Hi,
I'm about to embark on writing some code in perl or VBscript that automatically synchronises a constantly updated Access database with an MSSQL database.
I know MSSQL has an import tool built into Enterprise manager but I'm wondering if theres a stored procedure that does this?
The way I'm thinking of doing it is to read the all the access tables into separate hash arrays and then INSERTing them into the MSSQL database after checking for any duplicates. This all sounds a bit time consuming (there are a large number of tables) and processor intensive.
If anyones done anything like this before, I'd love to hear their views......!
Thanks!
Hello all,
Please help....
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile
where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues.

Hi all,
I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System.

I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely,
Bryan Ax

which one is smarter, where there is no indexing on the table which is really simple table delete everything or recreate table. I got an argument with one of my coworker. He says it doesnt matter i say do delete. Any opinions.
