Right now, a client of mine has a T-SQL statement that does thefollowing:1) Create a temp table.2) Populate temp table with data from one table using an INSERTstatement.3) Populate temp table with data from another table using an INSERTstatement.4) SELECT from temp table.Would it be more efficient to simply SELECT from table1 then UNIONtable 2? The simply wants to see the result set and does not need tore-SELECT from the temp table.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to know what is the best performance for needing to do calculations for a particular column. I want to do something like:
Select IID
, ItemNo
, StdRun
, ActRun
, dbo.fnCalc(OutCount)
From myTable
The function is basically a set of Case Statements and various calculations dependant upon the Case.
Is this the best (performance wise) way to do it or should I dump the needed info in a Temp Table and do the calcs on it and then tie the select statement to the table.
I've seen both approaches done, but they both seem to be a different way of getting to the same conclusion. I'm just wondering which puts the lightest load on the server.
Thanks,

Below are my temp tables
--DROP TABLE #Base_Resource, #Resource, #Resource_Trans;
SELECT data.*
INTO #Base_Resource
FROM (
SELECT '11A','Samsung' UNION ALL
[Code] ....
I want to loop through the data from #Base_Resource and do the follwing logic.
1. get the Resourcekey from #Base_Resource and insert into #Resource table
2. Get the SCOPE_IDENTITY(),value and insert into to
#Resource_Trans table's column(StringId,value)
I am able to do this using while loop. Is there any way to avoid the while loop to make this work?
Hi,
I would like to join two tables: one on a local server which I have admin access to and another server which I only have read access. The local table is very small, but the remote table is very large.
If I look at Query Analyzer's execution plan, it appears that the join will be done locally (i.e. the entire table is transferred from the remote server and then joined to my local table). Is there a way to create a temp table using linked servers, transfer my small local table to the remote server and then perform the join on the remote server? In the past, I have been able to use openquery to restrict the data to a small subset that is transferred but the local table is a little too large for that.
I appreciate any advice / guidance anyone can offer me!
which is more efficient...which takes less memory...how is the memory allocation done for both the types.

In a table-valued UDF, does the UDF use a table variable or a temp table to form the resultset returned?
Hi all,
Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.
However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.
Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl
SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl
The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.
Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it.
--no compilation error.
CREATE PROC testTemp
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()
END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
I don't know if it's a local issue but I can't use temp table or table variable in a PP query (so not in a stored procedure).
Environment: W7 enterprise desktop 32 + Office 2012 32 + PowerPivot 2012 32
Simple example:
declare @tTable(col1 int)
insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)
select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].

Hello,
I am receiving the following error:
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition
I am trying to insert values into a temp table, using values from the table I copied the structure from, like this:
SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #tbl_User_Temp FROM tbl_User
TRUNCATE TABLE #tbl_User_Temp
INSERT INTO #tbl_User_Temp EXECUTE UserPersist_GetUserByCriteria @Gender = 'Male', @Culture = 'en-GB'
The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a
"SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture",
so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same
structure?
The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.
Thanks,
Greg.
Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.
CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,
[Code] ....
Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below
DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2
[Code] ...
I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],
[Code] ....
If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.
Hello
Is it possible to insert data into a temp table with data returned from a stored procedure joined with data from another table?
insert #MyTempTable
exec [dbo].[MyStoredProcedure] @Par1, @Par2, @Par3
JOIN dbo.OtherTable...
I'm missing something before the JOIN command. The temp table needs to know which fields need be updated.
I just can't figure it out
Many Thanks!

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
thanks!!

I want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.

WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:
Begin Transaction
Lock Table XTable
Drop XTable
Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable
Release Lock XTable
End Transaction
Create XTable_temp
I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.
Any ideas on a process that might help?
TIA,

I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare).
Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names?
Hi... I was hoping if someone could share me some thoughts with the issue that I am having at the moment.
Problem: When I run the package in my local machine and update local SS DB/table - new records writes OK in the table. BUT when I changed my destination meaning write record into another physical SS DB/table there is no INSERT data occurs. AND SO when I move/copy over that same package into another server (e.g. server that do not write record earlier) and run it locally IT WORKS fine too.
What I am trying to do is very simple - Add new records in a SS table using SSIS . I only care for new rows and not even changed rows.
Here is my logic -
1. Create Ole DB source to RemoteSERVER - using SELECT stmt
2. I have LoopUp component that will look for NEW records - Directs all rows that don't find match and redirect rows (error output).
3. Since I don't care for any rows that is matched in my lookup - I do nothing or I trash the rows
4. I send the error rows (NEW rows) into OleDB destination
RESULTS when I run the package locally and destination table is also local - WORKS FINE;
But when I run the package locally and destination table is in another Sserver (remote) - now rows is written.
The package is run thru BIDS manually so there is no sucurity restrictions attached to it.
I am not sure what I am missing. And I do not see error in my package either. It is not failing.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I accidentally deleted a table in my local server. How can I get back the table? I did not do it as a transaction!
Thanks in Advance
I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server.
Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.
Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?
Your suggestions?
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to sql and right now I am struggling with a script. I am trying to extract data from a normal table into a temporary table, update it in the temporary table, then put it back into the normal table.

Hi, I wanna know is there any advantage of perf gain when using Derived Tables over Temp Tables, advice me which one is better to use. Can I create Indexes and Insert/Update records into Derived Tables.
-Senthil
Hi All,Hope someone can help me...Im trying to highlight the advantages of using table variables asapposed to temp tables within single scope.My manager seems to believe that table variables are not advantageousbecause they reside in memory.He also seems to believe that temp tables do not use memory...Does anyone know how SQL server could read data from a temp tablewithout passing the data contained therein through memory???Is this a valid advantage/disadvantage of table variables VS temptables?

It was obvious that we have to limit the use of #Temp table to a minimum. Let assume that some of the temp tables are really difficult to replace and we have to live with them.
Would it be easier on tempdb if the #TempTable is replaced by a table variable? Or do they all end up in tempdb?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,
I am querying a table in oracle, the server connection to the Oracle database is determined by a criteria. Though how can I put the results from the oracle query into a temp table ?
This is the code i'm using for the query:
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(500)
declare @Year varchar(25)
set @Year = '2006'
DECLARE @Link VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @Table VARCHAR(100)
select @Link = Server from tbl_Conn where Area='Floor'
select @Table = Target_Table from tbl_Conn where Area='Floor'
SET @cmd =
'
select * from OPENQUERY
(
' + @Link + ',
''
UPDATE '+ @Table +'
SET TARGET_VALUE = '+@Value+'
WHERE Date = '+@Year'
''
)
'
EXEC (@cmd)
How do I put the executed results into a TEMP table ?
