Creating Views With Variable No. Of Input Tables
Aug 6, 2007
Hello,
I need to create a view which will include an additional table every week of our financial year.
Example: Every week we create a table called Sales_YYYY_WW where YYYY is the Year and WW is the Week, so after the first week we have the table Sales_2007_01 and after the second week we have Sales_2007_01 and Sales_2007_02 etc.. These tables are created evey week and don't exist at the start of the financial year.
I'd like to create a view at the beginning of each year to encompass each table evey week as it is created. If all of the tables were there at the start of the year it would be simple:
CREATE VIEW VIEW_SALES_2007
AS
SELECT * from Sales_2007_01
UNION ALL
SELECT * from Sales_2007_02
etc.
But I don't know how to achieve this when the tables don't already exist. I don't want to have to edit the view each week to add in the new table.
Can anyone out there help me?

Does anyone know how to parse an input variable to a stored proc? For example, if I have an input variable that is: 'ford,chevy,pontiac' how do I parse through this variable and handle each value independently?
Since I do not know how many values may exists I can't do it based on a set amount of input variables.

I am trying to Execute a Stored Procedure using Call OSQL from a .bat file, and passing a DOS variable to the Stored Procedure.
The DOS variable is established in the DOS command...
set SERVERJOB=JOBNAME
I have tried...
EXEC sp_procedure %SERVERJOB%
With this, I get an error...
sg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server ABCDEFGH, Line 20
Line 20: Incorrect syntax near '%'.
If I put the variable name in quotes on the EXEC statement above, the value used is the variable name, %SERVERJOB% itself rather than the value the variable was set to, which would be JOBNAME in the above example.
Any ideas??? Thanks!

We are trying to use the Import/export wizard to load a text file to a SQL Server 2005 database. The input file has a variable number of columns per row. For example, the first row has 3 columns, the second has 7, the third has 3, etc. The number of columns varies from 2 to 9 in the input file. The columns are separated by an uptick (`) and the rows are terminated by {CR}{LF}. We are using code page 1252. On processing, the wizard reads the first row (with 3 columns) ok, but then assumes all the other rows have 3 columns and parses the rows accordingly, ignoring the field and row terminators.
The process worked fine with SQL Server 2000. Is there some setting that we are missing, or some configuration on the database that we should be checking?
Thank You

In my data flow task, I use a data reader source to get data from our 400. Currently, I have a simple sql command that is pulling data from a file qualifying by date, which is hard-coded. I would like to pass in a parameter which has the date in it. How can I do this? Thanks!

Hi all,
Bit of a SQL server newbie here, I have two tables; Fish (containing Name and ID) and Fishing (containing just a concatonatted FishingID), but to relate the tables i would have to join (reference) the fields in the Fish table ie: fishname and FishID to match the other tables FishingID.
Every time i concanonate the fishname and FishID in the criteria the view doesent run but if i actually write an example FishingID in the criteria the view runs.
How do i refernce the fields in the criteria section?

Hi,
I have an Execute Process Task that calls a batch file.
I need to pass in a date value to the batch file.
If I enter the value 20071018 in the "Arguments" section, it works fine.
However, I use the "Standard Input Variable", User::MyDate (which gets assigned in a previous Execute SQL Task), it bombs. The query I am using returns the date back in the format yyyymmdd. It gets assigned to a string variable, called MyDate.
e.g.)
SELECT TOP 1 CONVERT(VARCHAR, MyDate, 112) AS MyDate
FROM myTable
which result is mapped to User::MyDate
Is there any obvious reason why this doesn't work?
Thanks

Hi Everyone:
I have a quick but imp SSIS question. I have a For Each Loop Container, and inside that I wish to add a Execute SQL Task item, so I can call a sp to do some inserts/updates. The ForEachLoop container is looping thru a ADO Object source variable(which is the user variable defined by me, as a FullResultSet). In my Execute SQL Task, I would like to utilize one of the columns from the result set as an input parameter to my Stored procedure. Can someone please advise on how to do this? Please let me know if you have any more questions. I am waiting for a response... Thanks in advance.

Microsoft says it is possible but I just do not see how. Here is the
link to the help file where it said that variables could be pass as
input to web methods...I do not see the check box they mention on my
IDE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Catherine

can anyone tell me why when I create a view if I do this in my select statement "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS CrewNo" and then save the view the above CAST statement will be changed to this "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS Expr1". After I have it saved and then go back and change it back to "CAST(CrewNo AS char(10)) AS CrewNo" it will stay that way. Just looking for a reason why this is happening as I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Recently we upgraded our server from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. I created anew view in Enterprise Manager which pulls data from a linked server'sdatabase. When I write the view...CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW1ASSELECT *FROM LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableNameand I click on the run button it changes to:CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW1ASSELECT *From LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableName TableName_1I can still see the correct results, but the users can't- Once Iremove the TableName_1 they can see the results.When I tried creating a view and did not use a linked server,everything worked fine. Anyone have any answers?

In database permissions I have granted a user rights to create a view. When she tries to save the view (even save as) it automatically wants to save it to the dbo schema and says she does not have rights to save to the dbo schema.
Two questions:
1) Can I set it up to where she can save a view to a schema which she is the owner?
2) If not, then what permissions must be set to allow her to create / save views but not be able to create, etc. other objects such as tables and stored procedures?

Is it possible to have an entire sql select statement as the input variable to a stored procedure? I want the stored procedure to execute the select statement.
ie.
exec sp_SomeFunc 'select * from table1 where id=1'
It may sound weird, but I have my reason for wanting to do it this way. Is this possible? if so, how do I implement this inside the stored procedure?

I am building an SSIS package that loops through a table in SQL Server and dynamically builds a select statement that i would like to use as an ole db source. I have been having a difficult time with this as the select statement that i am generating is over 200,000 characters long so using an sql variable is out of the question.
I ended up placing the select statement into a table where each row of the table represents a piece of the select. I then use an execute_sql task that selects the entire rowset from this table into a variable object. I then use a for each loop to shred the variable and concatenate it into on big string variable called user:: sql_statement that is my select.
After setting up the loop and testing to see if the user:: sql_statement variable populates correctly i then added a data flow transfer with an ole db source and destination. I then go into the advanced editor for the source and set it to accept an sql statement from a variable and use my user:: sql_statement variable. I was forced to set validate external metadata option to false to avoid an error since there is no way to validate the columns until the for each loop runs during run time.
Now thats all fine and good but what is causing my problem is that during run time, when the package gets to the data flow task, the select statement doesn't seem to be populating the input columns of the data source. I have been searching to no avail on a way to tell the data source to update the input columns but every time it gets there, the package bombs out telling me the ole db source has no available output columns.
Specifically the error i get is :
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "output "OLE DB Source Output" (6616)" contains no output columns. An asynchronous output must contain output columns.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Cordial greetings,
Again i need help with a couple of issues in migrating from Oracle to SQL Server 2005. I need the equivalent sentence in SQL Server of the following sentence:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW IBA_MPDATOSGENERALES AS (
SELECT IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION, IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.APLAZADOREQ, IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAFINALAXR, IBA_USUARIOS.NOMBREUSU
FROM IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC, IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS, IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ, IBA_USUARIOS
WHERE IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION = IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION
AND IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.IDREQUERIMIENTO = IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.IDREQUERIMIENTO(+)
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.USERNAME = IBA_USUARIOS.USERNAME
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.TIPOACCIONAXR = 'S'
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.CERRADAAXR = 'N'
AND NOT IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAFINALAXR IS NULL
UNION
SELECT IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION, IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.APLAZADOREQ, IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAFINALAXR, IBA_USUARIOS.NOMBREUSU
FROM IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC, IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS, IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ, IBA_USUARIOS
WHERE IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION = IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION

AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.USERNAME = IBA_USUARIOS.USERNAME
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.TIPOACCIONAXR = 'N'
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.CERRADAAXR = 'N'
AND NOT IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAPROXEJECUCIONAXR IS NULL
UNION

WHERE IBA_MPPROCEDXLOC.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION = IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.IDPROCEDENCIALOCALIZACION
AND IBA_MPREQUERIMIENTOS.IDREQUERIMIENTO = IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.IDREQUERIMIENTO(+)
AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.USERNAME = IBA_USUARIOS.USERNAME
AND (IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.CERRADAAXR = 'S'
OR (IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.CERRADAAXR = 'N' AND ((IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.TIPOACCIONAXR = 'N' AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAPROXEJECUCIONAXR IS NULL) OR (IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.TIPOACCIONAXR = 'S' AND IBA_MPACCIONESXREQ.FECHAFINALAXR IS NULL))))
)
I know that (+) is for outer joins (left or right). I also know that UNION may mean FULL OUTER JOIN. but this query? The real query is a lot more complex, well actually there are just more fields needed from more tables but with this exmple is enough. The bottom line is that i need data from various tables, most of them involved in a JOIN clause. Also check out that in SQL Server doesnt exists the REPLACE word or does it?
Thank you in advance,
Fernando Martinez

Forgive me if I'm asking a simple question, but I'm new to database administration
I'm trying to migrate a database from a server running Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 to a new machine running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. I moved a copy of a recent database backup file to the new server, and created a new database with Restore From Backup. The tables seem to have restored fine, but my views are non-existent. Has anyone seen this problem before, or does anyone know of something I may have skipped?

I have 2 views which contain the following fields:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
QTY,
GROSS_AMOUNT,
SEASON
The 2 views differ by SEASON. I'm attempting to combine the 2 views in to a single view or table grouping by EVENT, WEEK and SUBSCRIPTION:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
Q6 (qty of season 1),
A6 (gross_amount of season 1),
Q7 (qty of season 2),
A7 (gross_amount of season 2)
Below is my select command:
------
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.QTY) AS Q6, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A6,
SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.QTY) AS Q7, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A7,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
FROM dbo.vw_SEASON06 FULL OUTER JOIN
dbo.vw_SEASON07 ON dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK = dbo.vw_SEASON07.WEEK AND
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION= dbo.vw_SEASON07.SUBSCRIPTION AND
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT = dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT
GROUP BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
ORDER BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT
-----
This creates the view but there are some issues. If an 'EVENT' exists in dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT and doesn't exist in dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT the value of the field 'EVENT' is set to NULL because the 'EVENT' name is returned from dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT. The same issue exists for 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' and 'WEEK'.
How can I create a single view/table that will include all the data from these 2 views without the NULL values in EVENT or SUBSCRIPTION?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
I have problem that Im sure others must have had before so I am looking for advice on the best way to solve it. I have a table of text information tbl_base which is related to another table containing tags, which can contain several rows for each row in base.
I want to create an indexed view of the data for full text search. I would like to select all the tags related to a particular row in the tbl_base together into a string and join it to the end of the tbl_base table so they can be indexed along with the tbl_base data for full text indexing. Ive tried several methods but I am never able to make an index on my view because it say I cant use COALESCE, or Cursors.
Sample data here :
tbl_base
id | Text
------------------------
1 | BLah blah
2 | Dum de dum
3 | HAr HAr
tbl_base_tags
tagID | base_id | TagText
--------------------------
1 | 1 | first
2 | 1 | second
3 | 1 | third
4 | 2 | fourth
The view I want to end up with will look like this :
vw_tables
base_id | Text | Tags
-------------------------------------
1 | Blah blah | first second third
2 | dum de dum | fourth
How can I achieve this? Do I have to index all the tables seperately?

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

Im trying to determine the best way to store data gathered from a form that a user will fill out online. The form is dynamic and is customized at run time based on group-specific criteria. The end result is a form that might have 3 extra text boxes, 2 extra sets of radio buttons and a freeform textbox, whereas for another group, there might be a slightly different set of input fields. Now comes the issue of storing this data. Since the fields can be somewhat dynamic, it could get tricky to define table columns for each possible input field. So Im considering storing the data as xml. Has anyone else had to build custom forms and ended up storing the data as xml ?

I'm seeing where previous developers have used a single stored procedure for multiple reports, where each report required different columns to be returned. They are structured like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetSomeData (@rptType INT, @customerID INT)
AS
BEGIN
IF @rptType = 1
BEGIN
SELECT LastName, FirstName, MiddleInitial
[Code] ....
As you can see, the output depends on the given report type. I've personally never done this, but that's more because it's the way I learned as opposed to any hard facts to support it.
So what I'm looking for is basically 2-fold.

I'm running asp.net on an XP machine with MSDE 2000 as the database. I want to create a user table with a userid and password. I have a second table that contains details about the user such as home address and phone number etc. When the user first signs up, I want their userid to go into the user table and the user detail table. In my SQL insert command, I can't get @userId to go into both tables. So my question is how do I get the userID to go into both tables or is there a better way of doing this altogether?
Thanks,
