Design Data Storage For Feature Similar To Facebook Groups

Mar 13, 2008

Ok so facebook groups have 100,000's of members. Members can be part of an unlimited number of groups, and a group can have an unlimited number of members.

Comma Deliniated String seems absurd. Many-2-Many Database relationship seems like it won't scale well t the 10's of thousands and 100's of thousands of members (especially if you have 1000-5000 groups). A table for each group would work but thats a bit over the top in my opinion. XML file doesn't seem to be any better than the above options.

I am no database guru, but I can't figure out a scalable method of doing this, be it with or without a database. I need something that can support 10 groups that have 20 members each OR 1000 groups with 100,000 members each.

Any help, suggestions, or kicked in the right direction would be most appreciated.

File Groups For Table Partitioning And Storage

May 31, 2007

Hello,



I am building partitiong tables, partitioning on different file groups:



the question is:



Partitioned table referred to old data that are not frequent accessed for reporting can be stored on separate location(External storage, tape and so on) or to make partitioning functioning must all file groups must be presents?



If not, how can I separate old data from current ones (still using partitioning) to reduce the size of DB?



What it is the best for storage data and easy to access it when needs arise (eg reporting): Tape, external storage, others?



Thank

Storage Design Analysis Manager

Feb 27, 2008

I have a question about the storage design wizard in the analysis manager.

We are working with different seasons in our reports and every week we update the data of the seasons in our cubes. But as seasons end, and at some point the data for old seasons doesn't change anymore, I don't think it is necessary to update every season every week (which we now still do now for seasons in, for example, 2004). It's a waste of time. So my question now is. How can I storage the data of previous seasons (and work with them in the report) and still be able to update the current season? Can I use the storage design for this??

Problem With Matrix (in Subreport, Multiple Groups), Groups Repeating First Row Data

Jan 25, 2008

I have a new SQL 2005 (SP2) Reporting Services server to which I've just upgraded and deployed some SSRS 2000 reports.

I have a subreport that contains a matrix with two groups. The report data seems to be inexplicably repeating the data for the first row in the group for all rows in the group. Example:









ID1
ID2
DisplayData

1
1
A

1
2
B

1
3
C

2
1
A

2
2
B

2
3
C

Parent group is on ID1, child group is on ID2, report would show:








1
1
A

2
A

3
A

2
1
A

2
A

3
A


Is this a matrix bug in 2005 SP2, or do I need to do something differently? I can no longer pull a comparison version from an SSRS 2000 server to verify, but I believe it was working as expected before...

Database Connections Using Facebook As An Example

Feb 20, 2008

I'm trying to work out how facebook displays so much information easily. Each time you visit your profile a load of new info is shown. Is each piece of info, which is stored in different table, gathered right there and then? If so, isn't that a helluva lot of connections? I'm trying to implement something into my website where it records history, a it like on facebook when it says "Steve has written on Paul's wall" the names are clickable. Has the information been stored like:
 
Name1ID ActionID Name2ID23432        56          32432
 
If so, wouldn't 3 connections be needed? 2 to retrieve the names and 1 for the action? It would be easier to store the info as "Steve has written on Paul's Wall" in 1 field, but it wouldn't be dynamic. And if the page shows a lot of information like that, it's hundreds of conections on just 1 viewing.  I'm still learning and am also wondering how many connections per page would take up a lot of resources?
 
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Distinct Storage Tier Of Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)

Oct 27, 2014

How to implement distinct storage tiers on SQL Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)?

I want to use this SQL Feature to move files(images, videos, pdf files) from a database to a distinct database dedicated to RBS. Then I want to have several storage tiers, where objects will be saved and moved according access frequency. Old data will be arquived in cheap storage, but it must be always accessible if needed.

Description:
- 1st and main tier: new and frequently accessed objects stored in high performance storage;
- 2nd tier: automatically move older or less accessed objects to an inexpensive and different storage tier;
- in all cases, all objects must be accessible to all users, but accessing to archived objects(2nd tier) will be much slower;

How To Basically Copy Tables With New Names Rather Than Create Similar Tables From Similar Manual Input.

May 26, 2007

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.

Select Similar Data

Aug 15, 2012

finding is queries to find duplicate data.Basically I have a picklist table in a database and I have discovered that there are what looks like duplicate data (because the name is the same) but there is a different number on the end, as you can see from an example below.

NO, ENTRY
24, John Doe|26|05768
24, John Doe|26|5768

Do you know if there is a sql query that can be ran against this table that will look through the ENTRY column and select fields that are similar and not duplicates (duplicates can't exist due to PK constraints)

Join On Similar Data

Feb 23, 2015

Table One is an older database and has the column employee id, which would always consist of first letter of the last name an underscore and a numeric value. So for example, data looks like

employeeID
R_12345678
S_5555555
T_777777
U_7777

Our new data structure simply removed the letter & underscore.

employeeID
12345678
5555555
777777
7777

Now my question is, how could I join on oldDB.employeeID to newDB.employeeID since the data is very similar, but not exactly the same?

Comparing Similar Tables - Removing Duplicate Or Repeated Data

Sep 30, 2007

It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.

I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.




Code Block
SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity
FROM BOOKED
LEFT JOIN
CURRENT
ON booked.item = current.item







No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.

As follows:







Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity

12345
A01
500
A01
7680

12345
B01
6
A01
7680

12345
C01
20
A01
7680

54321
G10
1032
E15
1163

54321
G10
1032
F20
523

54321
G10
1032
H30
750

98765
Z20
7000
Z20
8500

98765
Y15
2500
Y15
3000

98765
X10
1200
Y15
3000

What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.

This is what I'm after:







Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity

12345
A01
500
A01
7680

12345
B01
6
B01
0

12345
C01
20
C01
0

54321
G10
1032
E15
1163

54321
F20
0
F20
523

54321
H30
0
H30
750

98765
Z20
7000
Z20
8500

98765
Y15
2500
Y15
3000

98765
X10
1200
X10
0



Is this possible? If so, how?

I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.

-----------------------------------------------
Just thinking out loud here:
What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:




Code Block
SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER

FROM

(select item, bin, quantity
from BOOKED)q1
Left Join

(select item, bin, quantity
from CURRENT)q2
on q1.item = q2.item
Left Join

(select bin, item
from BOOKED
UNION
CURRENT)q3
on q1.item = q3.item

Order By q1.item





I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...


Any suggestions?

Is RS2005's Matrix Data Region Feature Broken, Or Subject To Certain Limitations?

Dec 25, 2007

I'm consistently getting >10 minute render times in a matrix based report whose underlying query only takes 1-2 seconds to run in both RS's data tab and mgt studio. The bad render times occur in preview tab, Report Viewer and when requested from Report Manager. I believe most of the time being taken is RS's attempt to pivot and present the data.

I can run a homegrown query that pivots (with unknown number of cols) the data itself in under 4 seconds but would be concerned about mapping an unknown number of columns to a table region in RS.

The matrix I'm testing with is 67 columns across (just over 2 months of daily columns) and is supposed to be 207 rows long. There is no aggregation required by RS when it is pivoting the data because each intersection occurs at most one time in the query's result set. The number of data points actually being "bucketed" is around 13,800 values. Row headers consist of 3 columns.

RS is also cutting off the number of rows it is supposed to be showing. The number of rows cutoff seems to be 100% repeatable based on the date range chosen. RS doesnt tell me when it cuts off rows that should have been displayed. From what I can tell so far, it never cuts off columns.

The number of rows cut off seems consistent across designer's preview, report viewer and when requested thru report manager. The "run" command (exclamation icon in data tab) seems to always return the correct number of unpivoted rows, just as in mgt studio.

Are there known bugs and or limitations in RS's matrix data region feature? Are there some settings or workarounds that might make it work more to my liking?

The 'Unlimited Data Mining Attributes.' Feature Is Not Included In The 'Standard Edition' SKU

Feb 21, 2008

When trying to process my minding model (using Association Rules) i receive the following errors


Errors and Warnings from Response

Error (Data mining): The 'Items Recommendations' mining model has 64675 attributes. This number of attributes exceeds the attribute limit of 5000 allowed by the current version of the algorithm associated with the mining model.

Errors related to feature availability and configuration: The 'Unlimited data mining attributes.' feature is not included in the 'Standard Edition' SKU.



I searched through the internet and found that a hotfix can be installed to make it work (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932609). I emailed microsoft and they provided me back with the hotfix and a password.

I tried to install the fix but i couldnt. It needed a prerequisit fix. So i installed SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 from (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=921896)

Then tried to install the fix for my unlimited attributes problem.

I tried to process my module after installing the fix and restarting my computer, but am still gettin the same error.I created another new model but the problem still exists.

Am i missing something here? Any idea to make it work?
Is there any alternative? I need to use all the elements in my datasource view.

Storage For Data And Logs

Apr 2, 2007

I am planning on doing database mirroring using two (2) servers for each instance and a SAN to store the data and log files for both the primary server and mirrored server. How do I arrange the SAN 4 Physical Drives?
My options are:
· 2 Raid 1 Mirrors giving 250 GB to each SQL engine €“ This though has both the transaction logs and data on the same physical drive even if we split it up further into logical drives
· A Raid 10 - The transaction logs and data can be on separate drives
· A Raid 5 using the 4 Drives. (How SQL will see these drives I€™m not sure when it€™s 2 SQL engines)
· Or I could get a 5th drive and have a mirror set for transaction logs and a RAID 5 configured for the data.

Dumb Data Storage Question

I guess I'm confused... Thanks in advance....

Storage Of Varying Data Types In SQL

Jun 2, 2001

re: [Windows 2000 SP1, SQL Server 7.0 SP2]

I am developing an online web-based address book for multiple users. There are STANDARD FIELDS and CUSTOM FIELDS.

Standard fields include: Name,Street,City,State,Zip.
Custom fields are those defined by a specific user. For example:

User-A Custom fields:
Interest Rate <real>
Loan Amount <currency>
Start date <date>

User-B Custom fields:
Blood type <char 3>
Date of birth <date>
Referred by <varchar 50>

Different users can have different custom fields in their address book. As you can see, while the standard fields for each user can be

stored in a single table. However, I have several methods by which I can store the CUSTOM fields.

------------------------------------------------
Method 1: Create 2 separate tables called CustomField and CustomValue:

CustomField has fields:
FieldID <int>
FieldName <varchar 25>
UserID <int>

CustomValue has fields:
ValueID <int>
Value <varchar 50>
FieldID <int>

------------------------------------------------
Method 2: Create a separate Field and multiple Value tables for each data type:
CustomField, CustomCharValue, CustomIntValue, CustomMoneyValue, etc...

CustomField has fields:
FieldID <int>
FieldName <varchar 25>
FieldType <smallint> (determines which TABLE, below, contains the data)
UserID <int>

CustomCharValue
CharValueID <int>
IntValue <Varchar 50>
FieldID <int>

CustomIntValue
IntValueID <int>
IntValue <int>
FieldID <int>

etc....etc...


The structures of those tables would be similar to Method 1, but the data would be segregated based on their data type.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm thinking that while Method 1 will be easier to implement, Method 2 may offer me better performance if coded correctly. I'm going

to assume that I'll have at least 1-5 million records to work with over the course of my first year and I will need the ability to sort

records based on values in the custom fields as well.

My first question is: Which method should I be considering and is there an alternative or hybrid that I should be considering?

My second question is: What statements should I use in my stored procedure that will enable me to retrieve a list of USERID, CustomFieldIDs and their values as one resulting table that I can query at will and with solid performance?

Strategy For Data Storage/searching

Dec 16, 2007

Hello there,

Don't know if this is the right forum to be asking this, but I'll give it a try...

I'm relativelly a beginner in SQL Server and T-SQL in general. The problem I'm trying to solve is the following:

The big picture is that I have data coming from different data sources which I need to store on a database for later reference. Each data source might have a different set of measurements. For example, data source 1 might log Pressure and Humidity while data source 2 logs Pressure and Temperature. Once the data is present on the DB, the users can go ahead and retrieve data for a given [datasource/measurement/time interval] to generate reports or charts.

My implementation so far consists of two tables: series_info and series_data. series_info holds general information for a given series of measurements for a given data source (Pressure for data source 1, Pressure for data source 2, Humidity for data source 1 and Temperature for data source 2, in our example). Each series has a bigint index as primary key.

The table series_data contains all data relative to the series from series_info. Each piece of data has a bigint as a primary key, an associate time (which is always crescent) and a foreign key to the series it represents (in series_info).

Alright, everything is cool so far. However, whenever a user wants to retrieve data for given [data source/measurement/time interval], this takes very long, since all data is interposed in series_data and for every search it's necessary to find where the desired data actually lies.

One obvious solution for this would be to dynamically create a new table to hold the data for each series, but that would just make my database disorganized, since there would be thousands and thousands of tables.

Another thing that comes to my mind is to create a table with information of where lies the data for a given [data source / measurement] for given dates. So when the user requested data for a given [data source/measurement] between, say, january and february, we would first look at this intermediate table and find out that the data lies between indexes 1000 and 2000 on the series_data table, so the next SELECT command to series_data would already contain a restriction like WHERE index>=1000 and index<=2000. This should probably improve the speed of retrieval.

What do you guys (or girls) think? Maybe there's simply a classical solution for such a case.


Thanks in advance!

UserID <int>

CustomCharValue
CharValueID <int>
IntValue <Varchar 50>
FieldID <int>

CustomIntValue
IntValueID <int>
IntValue <int>
FieldID <int>

etc....etc...


The structures of those tables would be similar to Method 1, but the data would be segregated based on their data type.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm thinking that while Method 1 will be easier to implement, Method 2 may offer me better performance if coded correctly. I'm going

to assume that I'll have at least 1-5 million records to work with over the course of my first year and I will need the ability to sort

records based on values in the custom fields as well.

My first question is: Which method should I be considering and is there an alternative or hybrid that I should be considering?

My second question is: What statements should I use in my stored procedure that will enable me to
retrieve a list of USERID, CustomFieldIDs and their values as one resulting table that I can query at will and with solid performance?

Can't Install IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server On Windows 2003 X64 Storage Server, How Can I Fix The Pkg?

Jan 14, 2008

I am a Windows developer for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server (TSMS) product.
Our product installation is built with InstallShield and uses the Windows Installer.

On a new installation of Windows 2003 x64 Storage Server R2, at a customer's site, the TSMS product fails to install.
The install of the OS has version 3.01.400.3959 of the Windows Installer and I see no newer version that installs.

Part of our product is 32 bit (console) and another part is x64 (server).
When installing I can see that the install's default is being redirected/reset to C:Program Files (x86)TivoliTSM after it is explicitly set by a custom action to ..Program Files.. . I further observe that our custom actions to write 64 bit registry entries are being refused.

REGSAM samMask = KEY_ALL_ACCESS;
if ( regIsWow64Process () ) samMask = samMask | KEY_WOW64_64KEY;
lStatus = RegCreateKeyEx( hLocalConnectKeyRoot,
szSubkey,
0L,
NULL,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
samMask,
NULL,
hKey,
&dw ) ;
The above fails to create the key.

We have tried four versions of our TSMS spanning many changes but the install acts the same.
This does not happen on any other Windows OS we test on but we do not test on Windows 2003 Storage Server R2 being that it is an OEM product. We did test on Windows server 2003 R2 x64 and do not see this problem.

Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
I have full installation traces but can only see that the registry work is being refused. I can't see why.

Show Groups With Empty Data

May 8, 2007

Hello everybody,

I have a matric that looks like this :

SALES RETURNS
Client1 100 50
Client2 40 0

But when there is no returns in the month, the column returns isn't displayed. So I get this:

SALES
Client1 100
Client2 40

How can I show this column even with empty data?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Zoz
