Creating A Large Dynamic View
Oct 11, 2007
I have a procedure that creates a large dynamic view of several tables. The view is a union view of up to 15 tables. The table names are all <name>_DDMM where name is the standard table name and ddmm is the day and month of the tables data. The tables are created by a software supplied by another company, so I can not ensure that the tables will always have exactly the same fields or number of fields. Sometimes the company will add more fields to the tables in thier updates. So, I have to include the field names in the SQL exec command to create the query. This makes for a very long exec command and depending on the number of tables it needs to include, it can require upwards of a 16,000 character string. Obviously, this can't work, so I had to break up the variable in order to create the procedure. However, I'm wondering if there isn't a better method than creating three different 8000 varchar variables and having overflow write to the next variable in line. Especially if the number of tables needs to be expanded, it could be a problem. Is there a better way to run a create view exec command on a large number of characters?
EDIT: Changed the title to read Procedurally generating a large view.

I have written a script to pivot a table into multiple columns.
The script works when run on its own but gives an error when i try to create a view or aprocedure from the same script. The temporary table #.... does not work so i have converted it to a cte.
Here is a copy of the script below
-- Dynamic PIVOT
IF OBJECT_ID('#External_Referrals') IS NULL
DROP TABLE #External_Referrals;
GO
DECLARE @T AS TABLE(y INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);

I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?

Hi guys 'n gals,
I created a query, which makes use of a temp table, and I need the results to be displayed in a View. Unfortunately, Views do not support temp tables, as far as I know, so I put my code in a stored procedure, with the hope I could call it from a View....
I tried:
CREATE VIEW [qryMyView]
AS
EXEC pr_MyProc
and unfortunately, it does not let this run.
Anybody able to help me out please?
Cheers!

Is there a better way to do this? or is basically how you would write a dynamic SQL Stored Procedure? Also, is this code vulnerable to SQL injection? All of the Parameters are being passed in by a SQL DataSource.

I have a considerably large view that is pulling data from tables and other view, using user defined functions, and using case statements. This view is taking a lot of time to load.I was under the impression that SQL server keeps the views uptodate, so selecting data from them is as fast as selecting from a table. It now seems like SQL server rebuilds the view evertime something accesses it.Can someone please tell me more on this. I am now having to re-write everything :-(Thanks Jag

Dear all,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edetion.
I have the following stored procedure that is executed against two tables (RecrodedCalls) and (RecordedCallsTags)
The table RecordedCalls has more than 10000000 Records and RecordedCallsTags is about 7500000 Records
Now the lines marked in baby blue are dynamic (Dynamic where statement) that varies every time this stored procedure is executed, may it contains 7 columns in condetion statement or may it contains 10 columns, or 2 coulmns.....etc
Now I want to create non-clustered indexes on the columns used in the where statement, THE DTA suggests different indexing whenever the where statement changes.
So what is the right way to created indexes, to create one index on all the columns once, or to create separate indexes on each columns, sometimes the DTA suggests 5 columns together at one if Im using 5 conditions, I cant accumulate all the possible indexes hence the where statement always vary from situation to situation, below the SP:
CREATE TABLE #tempLookups (ID int identity(0,1),Code NVARCHAR(100),NameE NVARCHAR(500),NameA NVARCHAR(500))
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (ID int identity(0,1),TypesCount INT,CallsType NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #tempLookups SELECT Code, NameE, NameA FROM lookups WHERE [Type] = 'CALLTYPES' ORDER BY Ordering ASC
INSERT INTO #tempTable SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(RecordedCalls.ID)) As TypesCount,RecordedCalls.CallType as CallsType
FROM RecordedCalls LEFT OUTER JOIN RecordedCallsTags ON RecordedCalls.ID = RecordedCallsTags.CallID
WHERE RecordedCalls.ID <= '9369907'
AND (RecordedCalls.CallDate BETWEEN cast ('01 Jan 1910 00:00:00:000' as datetime ) AND cast ( '01 Jan 2210 00:00:00:000' as datetime ))
AND (RecordedCalls.Duration BETWEEN 0 AND 1000000)
AND RecordedCalls.ChannelID NOT IN('62061','62062','62063','62064','64110','64111','64112','64113','64114','69860','69861','69862','69863','69866','69867','69868')
AND RecordedCalls.ServerID NOT IN('2')
AND RecordedCalls.AgentID NOT IN('1000010000')
AND (RecordedCallsTags.TagID is null OR RecordedCallsTags.TagID NOT IN('100','200'))
AND RecordedCalls.IsDeleted='false'
GROUP BY RecordedCalls.CallType
SELECT IsNull(#tempTable.TypesCount, 0) AS TypesCount, CASE('English')
WHEN 'Arabic' THEN #tempLookups.NameA
ELSE #tempLookups.NameE
END AS CallsType FROM
#tempTable RIGHT OUTER JOIN #tempLookups ON #tempTable.CallsType = #tempLookups.Code
DROP TABLE #tempLookups
DROP TABLE #tempTable
Thanks all,
Tayseer

Hi,
Our database has very large number of objects. We have a naming convension by modules, subprojects etc. But for example when we need to open a specific table it still takes time to find it. If we could create custom folders under table folder or stored procedure folder it will be easier to find an object. We could create sub folders by module, subproject and classify our objects with these folders. Will the next version SQL Server 2008 support this kind of functionality?

I have a simple query that joins a largeish fact table (3 million rows) to a view that returns 120 rows. The SKEY in the view is returned via a scalar function. The view returns instantly if queried on it's own however when joined to the fact table in the simple query below results in a query execution plan that runs forever. Interestingly if I change the INNER JOIN to a LEFT OUTER JOIN the query returns the matched results almost instantly.
Select
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band],
Count(*)
From
Fact.APC_Episodes
Inner Join Dimension.Age_Band ON
Fact.APC_Episodes.AGE_BAND_SKEY = Age_Band.AGE_BAND_SKEY
Group By
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band]
I know joining to a view using a column generated by a scalar function is not a good recipe for performance. I also know that I could fix this by populating a physical table with the view first as I have already tested this though I hoping not to have to go down that route.
Why a LEFT OUTER JOIN works and not an INNER JOIN or anyway I can get the query optimizer to generate an execution plan that works?

Hello all,
I have the following situation.
Our customer would like to generate a raw data export report from specific customer databases.
I have an administrative database with a customer table. In this customer table each customer has it's on specific
customerId guid.
Each customer also has it's own customer database that is named: Customer_ + guid of the customer in the admin
database (eg: Customer_982240e79f424fb0a1d4bed16267245d).
This customer database has 1 main table (dbo.Data), but the design can be different depending on the customer.
Our customer would like to have the possibility to select specific fields from the table to export to an excel file.
So i never know in advance how much fields there will be in the table.
What i want to achieve is to generate a report where i can select a specific customer from a list (from the admin database). Then be able to view all the available fields inside the table (like a dataset or something) and then let the
customer select which fields he wants in his data export report.
Can this be achieved in RS2005?

The first_name, last_name comes from a table called "person".

How can I do this within SP? Below is my sp:

I'm very new to SQL Server. Please help. I need to create a FUNCTION that creates a view. Then call this function in a SQL which is passed as a parameter to BCP. In Oracle, it would be something like:
create function CREATEVIEW
return number as
begin
create view SampleView as SELECT a,b,c from Mytable;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
create function DROPVIEW
return number as
begin
Drop view SampleView;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
Then my BCP will have something like:
BCP "select CREATEVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
then
BCP "select * from SampleView"... QUERYOUT ..
then drop the view again:
BCP "select DROPVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
I know there is no DUAL table in SQL SERVER. I just want to know how to code this in SQL Server.
The origin of my problem is that my SQL statement is too long to fit as BCP parameter, hence, am creating a view and reading there and dropping it again. If you can provide me with a better workaround, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I currently have a website with a page that displays the flags/ keys of the entire roster of guilded characters. Some more background is that I run a website for my Everquest guild, users can log in , create characters , and update their flags / keys.
There are 4 associated tables that are used in displaying the flags.
the Characters , Flags, Expansion, and Char_Flags tables. The char_flags table consists of 2 foreign keys and a bit field for enabled / disabled.
Char_flags = char_fk, flag_fk, enabled (bit)
The select statement I'm currently using to get information is as follows.
SELECT Expansion.ExpansionName, Flags.Flag_Name, Characters.Char_Name, char_flags.enabled FROM char_flags INNER JOIN Flags ON char_flags.Flag_FK = Flags.Flag_PK INNER JOIN Expansion ON Flags.Expansion_FK = Expansion.ExpansionPK INNER JOIN Characters ON char_flags.Char_FK = Characters.Char_PK WHERE (Expansion.ExpansionPK = @expansion)
That displays the information in a format like
Expansion Name, FlagName, CharacterName, Enabled. And there are usually 10 -15 flags per expansion so this lists the expansion 10 times, each flag name, then the character name 10-15 times, and wether or not the flag is enabled.
I would like to display the information a little differently and I'm not sure how to. I would like to display the inormation like this
Flag Name 1 Flag Name 2, Flag name 3, Flag Name 4, etc...
Char 1 X X X
Char2 X X X
Char 3 X X X X
Char 4
Char 5
etc
where the characters make up the first column, the flag names make up the first row(headers) and wether or not the flag is enabled is in the column under the corresponding flag.
This way the name of the flag, and the character name are only displayed one time instead of the flags and character names being repeated over and over.
If anyone can help me on how to display the data I would appreciate it. Here is a link to the page to show how it looks now if it helps www.shattereddestinies.net/flagstest.aspx
Thanks

I have a query on one of my pages that is just too large to keep in the page, so I need to reference a stored view in sql. I'm kind of new to this, so I'm having trouble getting the syntax right. The query is just a simple select statement using the results of several textboxes as parameters. I know how to do the query inside an asp.net page, but when I move it to sql, I don't know how to reference the textbox value i.e. @textbox. Here's what I have so far:
USE [Maindb]
GO
CREATE VIEW [tblMain_view] (@textbox nvarchar(30)) ????
AS SELECT dbo.tblMain.Field1, ....
FROM dbo.tblMain
WHERE dbo.tblMain.Field1 = @textbox and ....
First of all, I know that where I declare @textbox is wrong, so where is the right place to declare it? Also, how do I reference the view from the webpage and do I still use:
cmd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add . . .
in the page to establish the value. Anyone know a good tutorial on this. All the ones I've found were either in C# or didn't really apply. I need to know how to do this in VB. Thanks

Hi
Need help in writing a query. I have a table contains details about an item. Each item belongs to a group. Items have different status. If any one of the item in a group is not "Completed", then the itemgroup is in state incomplete. if all the item under the group is completed then the item group itself is completed. Now I need to create a view with itemgroup and itemstatus.
Suppose I have five records
item itemgroup status
1 1 complete
2 1 Xyz
3 2 complete
4 2 complete
5 2 complete
my view should be
itemgroup status
1 incomplete
2 complete
All the Statuses are not predefined...they get added as and when required........
Right now I am using a function. But dont want to use it for performance reasons. Would appriciate any help.
Thanks

I'm using SQL Server 2008 to solve the following exercise.
I have three Tables:
Table CUSTOMER with columns: CustomerID,Company,ContactName,Phone
Table ORDER with columns: OrderID,OrderDate,ShippedDate,ShipperID,Freight,CustomerID
Table Shipper with columns:ShipperID,Company,Phone
I need to Create a view listing the shipper and the number of unshipped orders. I have been trying to use joins or possibly subqueries, but I'm not getting a correct result for a ShipperID with NO unshipped orders.My view should looks like: ShipperID, Company, Phone, UnshippedOrders
