I have an allergy table which has a patientid and an allergy id. i would like to create a view(or SQL statement) that will give me a crosstab of a patient and there allergies(like below)
PATID ALLERGY1 ALLERGY2 ALLERGY3 etc
100 MCS DAC004 DAC003
200 MCS DAC004
300 MCS DAC004 DAC003
The patients have from upto 9 allergies(but some may only have one or 2). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Ok, I'm fairly new to .NET and even newer to the whole database concept. But, don't run away yet, I'm no idiot and I shouldn't have too hard of a time understanding your responses if you're kind of enough to give them. That being said, here's my dilemma:I'm trying to make a database of all the movies I own, the actors in them and the genre (s) they belong to. I have a set of tables that are in the 2NF (I think). I have a movies table, an actors table, a genres table, and two tables called movies_actors and movies_genres with primary-foreign key relationships to pull it all together (e.g. movie_id 1 has two entries in movies_genres, one for Action and one for Drama). My problem arises that when execute my monster query to pull ALL the data on one movie, I get a row returned for every combination of Genres and Actors in a movie. Example:movie_id movie_title comments actor_first actor_last genre_name1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Action1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Drama1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Action1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Drama And here's the query that produced that:1 SELECT movies.movie_title, movies.comments, actors.actor_first,
2 actors.actor_last, genres.genre_name
3 FROM movies INNER JOIN movies_actors ON movies.movie_id = movies_actors.movie_id
4 INNER JOIN actors ON movies_actors.actor_id = actors.actor_id
5 INNER JOIN movies_genres ON movies_genres.movie_id = movies.movie_id
6 INNER JOIN genres ON movies_genres.genre_id = genres.genre_id
So, I want to put all the actors for one movie into the same cell in the datagrid (same with the genres) and still keep it sortable by actor or genre. Is this possible with the .NET 2.0 datagrid? Do I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how my tables should be structured? Am I just really far off and acting like a n00b?
I have a requirement to provide data in a denormalized form from normalized tables. Working in SSIS.
I have two tables: EmployeeCountry and Country.
EmployeeCountry
EmployeeId (PK)(FK)
CountryId(PK)(FK)
Country
CountryId (PK)
CountryName
There will only be a max of 3 Country entries for each Employee. So I want to select the EmployeeId and get the three CountryIds so it would look like this:
Employee
EmployeeId
CountryId1
CountryId2
CountryId3
I normalized the below tables but I am finding it difficult to copy data to the new tables. How do I copy data from existing table to the normalized tables? see the table structure below and other supporting information:
SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description,Department,Buyer) Note: this table already has data in it.
CREATE TABLE SKU_DATA (
SKU
Integer NOT
NULL,
[code].....
The table structure above have two three determinants( SKU,SKU_Description and Buyer). SKU and SKU_Description are candidate keys. Primary key is SKU.
Normalization : SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description, Buyer)
BUYER(Buyer,Department)
I have a large excel spreadsheet created by finance user that contains several decades worth of sales data.
Here is a small sample:
Guest Count
Unit ID1/2/2011 1/9/2011
3 0
7 0
8 0
90 0
151696 1202
222769 1914
232704 2110
250 0
282838 1882
331089 691
363581 3064
371469 1062
I need to get this data into an SQL table in the following form so I can use it to further manipulate the data and update several other tables. I am thinking that UNPIVOT or CROSS APPLY might be the way to go, but am not sure how to code it.
The desired output:
Unit IDDate Guest Count
31/2/2011 NULL
71/2/2011 NULL
81/2/2011 NULL
91/2/2011 0
151/2/2011 1696
and so on ......
The spreadsheet has 2900 columns and 3500 rows so performance is definitely a consideration as well.
Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a couple projects and I've recently been trying to make everything fully normalized so updates are easier and I'm just wondering if there's a standard way to query and update normalized tables.
For example:
If I have table People with columns ID, FirstName, LastName, Height, Weight, ShoeSize, I can normalize that into two tables. Table People has ID, FirstName and LastName. Table PeopleDetails has PeopleID (FK), Property and Value. That way i can add more properties later right at the presentation layer if I like. Essentially I moved the data from being horizontal to being vertical.
But doing a simple search for people means I have to search the details table and return a LOT more records (one each for Height, Weight and ShoeSize) not to mention any more details I might add later. With a lot of details, it seems like your performance would take a big hit and your code would get really complicated as your looping through a vertical dataset to find the properties you want. Or is there some other standard way of doing that?
I'm just hoping that someone else has solved these problems and there's a standard set of functions out there for selecting and updating this kind of DB structure. Anyone?
Hi. I have a project I need to complete and I really don't know the first step I should take. Basically, we have a case management system that is normalized for the most part except for one major flaw: the clients table. Whenever we add a new case, we have to add the customer's name/address/phone etc. all over again. I would like to redo this current setup so we have one table just for clients and another table just for cases, so we don't have all this double entering all the time. Is there an easy way to do this or could someone point me in the right direction? It's on a SQL Server 2000 database. Thanks for your help!

Dear Experts,When I use a single table I can easily use constraints to enforce mybusiness logic, but what do I do when I normalize a single table intomultiple tables.For example, imagine that my initial table has the columns ID, Name,Salary with the constraint that Salary is not NULL. Now imagine thatI break this into two tables, one with ID and Name and another with IDand Salary. I would like to have a constraint that prevents thecreation of a row with (ID,Name) in the first table unless acorresponding row in the second table is also created.I can enforce this logic with triggers, but it looks ugly and isfairly brittle. Is there a better way or is this the dark side ofnormalization?Thanks.

I am new to SSIS. Probaly What I am asking is the simple one. But I dont know. I have a requirement. My Data source is Excel file and Destination is SQL Server . Excel file consist around 10k unnormalized rows which should be loaded to the multiple normalized master and child tables into the destination with the Primary key (identity column) and foreign key constrains. Even sometimes package should check for destination database table for matching Source column (Excel) code with the lookup table code (destination lookup table) and get the Primary key of Lookup table and put it into the destination table. Please help me the way to find the solution for this
I'm working with a database that is poorly normalized and am doing my best to increase the speed of our queries (changing the database itself is not an option right now). Any help with the following situation would be very much appreciated.
There are two tables involved, described below.
DataTable:
Code Snippet
CodeA char(4),
CodeB char(4),
CodeC char(2),
ColA float,
ColB float,
ColC float,
...
ColZ float
NameTable:
Code Snippet
Abbr char(2),
FullName varchar(50)
In the DataTable, the columns named ColA, ColB, ColC, etc., are described in the NameTable where Abbr would be A, B, C, etc., and FullName would be a "nice" text version describing what's stored in that column. For instance, a record in the NameTable might include Abbr = 'A' and FullName = 'Computer Science', and that means that ColA in the DataTable refers to 'ComputerScience'.
The table I'm trying to optimize the creation of in our ASP.NET application needs to have column headings that could be retrieved like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CodeB, CodeC FROM DataTable WHERE CodeA = @CodeA
(Note that CodeC is really just a different representation of CodeB--think 4-digit year vs. 2-digit year--for any given CodeA.)
The row headings for the table could be retrieved like this:
SELECT FullName FROM NameTable
The cells of the table at any given intersection of a row heading and a column heading can be retrieved like this:
SELECT Col? FROM DataTable WHERE CodeA = @CodeA AND CodeB = @CodeB (this selects a single value)
Where the ? of Col? is determined by the Abbr version of FullName shown in the row heading, and @CodeB is determined by CodeB from the column heading.
Right now this table is generated using a lot of loops in the code of the page that require it to query the database for nearly every cell in the table. Even with this poor database design, there has to be a better way than that. I'm hoping there is a way to create a stored procedure that uses temporary tables and joins, or views, or something like that to create the table on the SQL Server and just send the data to the ASP.NET page in a form that can be directly databound to a GridView.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there -
First of all I think of myself as a software developer and by no means a database expert. So I am posting a question here hoping that someone will lead me in the right direction.
I am somewhat following the database diagram from AdventureWorks with my own "normalized" database and have a question on how to update the table(s).
Here is my situation:
Table: Client
ClientID (PK)
Name
...
Table: Address
AddressID (PK)
AddressLine1
AddressLine2
City
...
Table: AddressType
AddressTypeID (PK)
Name
...
Table: ClientAddress
ClientID (PK1)
AddressID(PK2)
...
The tables should be referenced properly, etc... So my question is, when I add a new Client record, how and when do I update the Client table, Address table and ClientAddress table? If my PK on the Client and Address tables is an autoincriment, do I need it before I can update the ClientAddress table? If so, what do I have to look for, or how do I get the newly created ID to update the ClientAddress?
Is this making any sense? - I'm a little lost/confused. So if anyone can provide me links to where I can learn more about stuff like this and/or post some ideas/solutions, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if I am not clear on my issue, please ask and I will see if I can clarify it more.
Your help is appreciated in advance!

Thanks for reading.
This is pretty long, hopefully it isn't rambling.
I'm building a system that imports data from several source, Excel files, text files, Access databases, etc. using DTS. The entire process revolved around MS SQL Server, by the way.
I figured I would create denormalized tables that mirror the Excel and flat files, for example, in structure, import data to those, clean up and remove duplicates there, then break those out into my normalized table structure later.
Now I've finished the importing part (though this is going to happen once a week) and I'm onto breaking up the denormalized tables.
I'm hesitating because I'm not sure I've made the best decisions in terms of process, etc.
I've decided to use cursors to loop over the denormalized tables and use batch insert statements to push data out to the appropriate tables.
Any comments? Suggestions? All is welcome.
I'm specifically interested in hearing back on the way I've set up the intermediate, denormalized tables and how I'm breaking them up using cursors (step 2 of the process below). Still, all comments are welcome. As are suggestions for further reading.
Thanks again...
simplified example
(my denormalized tables are 20 - 30 colums wide)
denormalized table:
===================
name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
normalized tables:
==================
tblPerson [PK_person, name, age, height, weight]
tblAddress [PK_address, FK_person, street, city, state, zip, addressType]
tblContact [PK_contact, FK_person, data, contactType]
I'm breaking up the denormalized tables like this (*UNTESTED*):
=================================================
DECLARE @vars.... (one for each column in my normalized table structure, matching size and type)
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR
FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
FROM _DNT_myWideTable
INTO
WHILE @@Fetch_Status = 0
BEGIN
-- grab the next row from the wide table
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor
INTO @name, @address, @city, @state, @cellphone, @homephone
-- create the person first and get the ID with @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO tblPerson (name) VALUES (@name)
SET @personID = @@IDENTITY
-- use that ID to coordinate inserts across other tables
INSERT INTO tblAddress (FK_person, address, city, state, addressType)
VALUES(@person, @address, @city, @state, 'HOME')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @cellphone, 'CELLPHONE')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @homephone, 'HOMEPHONE')
END

THE REMAINING "FKs" FROM SCHOOL ARE SIMILAR, as is other tables and their relationships. The design of the foreign keys were made using sql and the keyword "REFERENCES" and "FOREIGN KEY."
My questions are: :confused:
(1) Is the use of FK as a Constraint any different than using an INDEX and how?
(2) Should I Alter the Tables to include CASCADING Up/Down?
(3) Are the use of CHARs Ok for the Keys?
(4) Have I over/under-normalized any of the relationships?

I am pretty new to SSIS, so please excuse me if this is a trivial question.
I have a denormalized database table in an Access database that I need to import into several different tables in a SQL 2005 database. You can think of the Access table as a CustomerOrders table. For example customer related information (i.e. CustomerName, CustomerID, etc...) is repeated with each record in the Access table. When this data gets moved to the SQL 2005 database, I need to insert one record for each distinct CustomerName/Customer ID record into a Customers table. I then need to insert and link every "Order" record into an "Orders" table.
I am sure that this is probably a pretty common task, but I have not found any examples or articles explaining this particular situation. What ways can this be done?
I was thinking I need to loop through each DISTINCT Customer record in the Access (source) table and insert a Customer record into the destination database's Customer table. I would then need to iterate through each row of the Access (source) table and "Lookup" the appropriate CustomerID/Key Field and insert an "Order" record.
The Access table contains over 75,000 rows of data. I am looking for the most appropriate way of doing this with SSIS (so that I don't have to write a custom application to do this!). Any help, input, links, articles, etc. is appreciated!!
TIA

I have a database schema that has an Address table used to store addresses for different entities such as Customers and Employees. I want to reuse the same Address record between different Customers and Employees without duplicating any address information. I'm not sure what the best approach might be.
Should have I have seperate stored procedures on the Address table that update and insert new addresses, where each Address record remains immutable once created? (So the update stored procedure actually creates a new Address record if the data changes). These stored procedures would then be invoked by business logic and used in tandem with stored procedures that act on Customers and Employees to ensure that no address records are duplicated.
Or should I create a view on a Customer joined with Address, and similarily with Employee and Address, and have stored procedures that act on these views and ensure that no Address records are duplicated. Should I use instead of triggers to override the behavior of insert and update on the view to achieve these?
I'm rather lost as to what direction I should take. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Hi, there,
I have a Excel cross-tab (multilevel column) report that need to be loaded into a database table. Currently, I am using a Excel macro that convert the columns into rows before loading into the database table. I was thinking whether there is a better way of doing this perhaps in SSIS or using XML.

Hi Guys!Is there anything like cross tab of access in sql server?Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I need to accomplish the turning column data into row data via SQL. I can sorta get what I want with creating the report as a matrix report. However, I always seem to need one little thing to happen to shape my data as I need it. Anyway, here goes...
I have a table with 4 columns
UNIQUE | Code | FieldID | CustomField
The Code column is the customer code. FieldID numbers 1-100 and CustomField has string data.
My problem. I need to be able to choose ALL Customers [Code] where FieldID/s ="6", "7" & "8" and the CustomField rowdata corresponding to the FieldID data. BUT I then need to be able to use a daterange parameter on any row with a FieldID of "6" but that is not a datetime format it is in a string format.
Currently my SQL is:
SELECT
[Unique ID], Code, [Field ID] AS IUdate, [Field ID] AS IUNote, [Field ID] AS IUReq, [Custom Field]
FROM
dbo.[Customer Custom Field]
WHERE
(Code = '07-8111')AND ([Field ID] = 6) OR (Code = '07-8111')AND ([Field ID] = 7) OR (Code =
'07-8111')AND ([Field ID] = 8)
However, everytime I try to run a daterange against, I get all kinds of data I don't need because the parameter is running against all the fields and NOT just the stringdate.
My idea is to convert the column data into row data (like a crosstab query) to sharpen it up for parameter ranges.
Is there something i am missing here? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I have a tabel which looks like the follows:
CODE Type Number
1 account 20
1 empl 3
2 account 15
2 empl 6
3 account 32
3 empl 7
I need to show the results like
CODE Account Empl
1 20 3
2 15 6
3 32 7
I've tried different attempts but so far I always get 2 rows for each code,where one column shows a NULL value.
How do I have to do this ?
Is there a way to write Crosstab query in SQL 7.0.
I have a Table which has partner, usernames and the city they are from, apart from other fields. I have another table which tracks the user activity on a day by number of visits to the web site. What i want is like this :-
Date Total Visits Atlanta Connecticut .... .... ....
03/01/2001 5025 567 324 .... .... ....
03/02/2001 6789 423 146 .... .... ....
... ... ... ... .... .... ....
I.E. I wan't the city names to appear as columns. The main catch here is that this data is for a given partner. So the city names could be different for different users from different partners. i.e. city names have to be generated on the fly by looking at the partner table and then by getting all its users and seeing what all are the cities involved.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit.
I am trying to run a report off a crosstab query. The report calls for columns A - F, which are returned from the crosstab query. The only problem is that at times some of the columns are not returned by the query because there is no data associated with them. The report asks for column X, and no such columns exists in the query result; thus, an error is generated. My question is: how do I deal with this problem? I would like to avoid having to build the report from scratch. Is there some way that at runtime I could programatically tell the report to ignore these fields?

i see there are many posts on crosstab queries in this forum but i can't seem to find a solution to my problem. hope you can help me.
I have a view of server crashes:
[dirty shutdown] [previous clean] [server name]
2005-10-01 2005-09-01 srv1
2005-11-01 2005-10-10 srv2
which displays the date of a dirty shutdown of a server, and the date of the previous clean shutdown of this server plus the server name
Also, i have a view of alerts per server:
[alert id] [server name] [alert date] [alert name] [repeat count]
123 srv1 2005-09-05 an alert 0
124 srv1 2005-09-10 another alert 1
125 srv1 2005-09-20 an alert 0
126 srv2 2005-10-20 something else 0
If [repeat count] is 0, the alert was given once, if it is 1, there were 2 alerts etc.
Now, what i want (well not me but the guy i work for) is a view that displays all alerts between the clean and the dirty shutdown, per server:
[dirty] [clean] server total "an alert" "another alert" "something else"
2005-10-01 2005-09-01 srv1 4 2 2 0
2005-11-01 2005-10-10 srv2 1 0 0 1
Total is the total number of alerts for the server between the two dates. Of course, there are many servers, and the number of alert names varies over time which means i can't use "case when...".
Is this possible??? Would be extremely thankful for any help!

Is there a SQL version of a Crosstab Query??
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to port a dymanically renderred form from a .mdb to a .adp. In the Access .mdb. The form is a representation of a crosstab query with unknown column headings (hence, the need for the form to be dynamically rendered at runtime).
I tried to port the crosstab from the .mdb to a stored procedure, but SQL Server doesn't like TRANSFORM, and perhaps the PIVOT as well. How do you do this in sql server?:
TRANSFORM Count(d.CAR_INIT) AS CountOfCAR_INIT
SELECT b.WKLD_SEQ, c.TRN_ID, c.TRK_NBR
FROM ((TSA_HS_MPCT_CNT a INNER JOIN TSA_HS_COMB2 b ON a.RECC_COMB_ID = b.COMB_ID)
INNER JOIN TSA_HS_WKLD c ON b.WKLD_ID = c.WKLD_ID) INNER JOIN TSA_HS_OBJ_TRN d ON c.WKLD_ID = d.WKLD_ID
GROUP BY b.WKLD_SEQ, c.TRN_ID, c.TRK_NBR
PIVOT d.LST_HMP_DTM + d.OBJ_DEP_TRN
Thanks,
Carl
