I am trying to import a very large amount of data into an SQL database. The data is in a format of SQL statements already - it is all in one large text file consisting of a number of CREATE TABLE X and INSERT INTO X VALUES().
The problem is that the amount of values being inserted into some of the tables is so large, that I am unable to open the .SQL file using query analyzer to run it, because the line-size limit for query analyzer is 64kb, whereas actual line-size in the file is in some cases in excess of 15MB.
I would appreciate any advice on how to get all this data into a managable format. I keep thinking that there simply has to be a way to execute these over-size SQL statements.
I have a stored procedure named usp_CreateSomeAdminObjects that resides in say a database named AdminStuff (ok, fictional but it gets the point across :) ). This proc generates a series of dynamic SQL statements (DROP TRIGGER, CREATE TRIGGER and EXECUTE sp_settriggerorder) against tables that reside in different databases. However I am unable to change the context of the database from AdminStuff to the database I am cycling. Any suggestions on how I can have execute this dynamic SQL in the context of a specific database (other than the one the proc resides in)?
I can not put the USE statement in a stored procedure. Attempts to use sp_executesql, EXECUTE and even run the script through sqlcmd using either (a) the -d option or (b) a USE <dbname>; statement as part of the -q parameter have all been unsuccessful.
Heck, even if I execute this code through SSMS it does not work as I need it to:
USE OtherDatabaseName; EXEC DBA.dbo.usp_CreateSomeAdminObjects
I confirmed this by adding these statements to the proc:
/* Gets list of tables from the current database */ SELECT name, create_date FROM sys.objects WHERE type = 'U' ORDER BY name
SELECT DB_NAME();
These statements return a list of user tables that reside in AdminStuff and not OtherDatabaseName (the same goes for the DB_NAME() statement.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish what I'm looking to do - have this proc execute dynamically generated DDL scripts for tables that reside in a different database. I'd rather not name this procedure sp_CreateSomeAdminObjects and compile it in the master database. If that is my only option I will but figured I'd check out other options first.
We have unreliable circuits connecting our office to remote sql servers. At our office I need to delete/insert a bunch of records from those remote locations. Since the connection is unreliable what is the best way to check if a server is available before executing delete/insert statements. A few points to consider:
1. I want this to be done in SQL 2. I have a cursor that cycles through a tabe that contains the name of the linked servers. The cursure is used to delete/insert a bunch of records from each remote server. 3. If one server is unavailable the stored proc should continue to the next sql server (next record in the cursor.)
I have a web application using Stored Procedure (SP). I see that there's a SP taking long time to execute. I try to capture it by Profiler Tool, and find out that with the same SP on the same db with the same parameter. The duration of executing by my web app is far bigger than the duration of executing on SQl server management studio - query window

Hi all,I am facing an unusual issue here. I have a stored procedure, that return different set of result when I execute it from .NET component compare to when I execute it from SQL Management Studio. But as soon as I recompile the stored procedure, both will return the same results.This started to really annoying me, any thoughts or solution? Thanks very much guys
Hi guys, Need some help in some query processing... Here goes,this is the results i have obtained so far |id |cat | name | 1 .....a... apple 1 .....b .. banana 2 .....a ...austria 2 .....b ...brazil 2 .....c ...china 3 .....a ...abraham 3 .....c ...clinton
Column cat can have at most 3 different types of values..{a,b,c}
I wanna write a query such that the result comes out as such <(....id ......a .......b......... c..) corresponding to these fields.>

I use SQL Server 2005.I want to create a SP "Search". With this function a user can serach the member database on several criteria: age minimal, age maximal, name, city..BUT these criteria do not necessarily have to be defined by the user, so it might be that a user searches for all members whose age is between ageMin and ageMax leaving the name and city criteria empty.So in my SP I have to check whether these values are empty or not. If a parameter is not empty I have to add it to my selection query.. BUT, I know that SQL Server makes an execution plan, and understood that when you use if-statements the procedure needs to be recompiled every time?Is this true? If so:how does this work then?Is there another way for me to still be able to create this SP?
Hello guys. How is this declared in SQL? Select * FROM my_table if my_column = "1" UPDATE my_table SET my_other_column= "a" ////my_column and my_other_column belong to my_table else if my_column="2" UPDATE my_table SET my_other_column= "b" ////my_column and my_other_column belong to my_table

I need to create a brief statement in Design View for SQL 2000.
I successfully wrote "isnull(dbo.Data.Parcel,'')in the Column in Design View, which would ensure that a null value would be listed as a blank. Now I need to have dbo.data.status show as 'C&G' in any instance of data, otherwise it will be listed as blank. I tried writing "isnotnull(db0.data.status,'Homestead', '')", but it does not work.
Is there a simple statement I can write in "column" of design view that can get the results that I need?
I have written an sql statement thats using sum. The problem that I have is that when the value is zero it returns Null. Is there a way that I could return zero instead of null.
I am totally new to creating IF statements inside stored procedures. I am passing some parameters from a ColdFusion form to a SP and if the form is empty for the small date I get an error. I would like to be able to check in the procedure to see if the parameter is empty and if it is set a default value for it. Here is my code. @JOB1, @COLLEGEDATE smalldatetime, If(@COLLEGEDATE <> ''") @COLLEGEDATE smalldatetime, ELSE @COLLEGEDATE = getDate(), RETURN @JOB2
Hi guys! I have these commands that insert into two tables, if condition 1 is met, it will insert into the first table, if the second condition is met, it will insert into the second table. Is there a way for the insert statements to be merged so that I won't be executing two statements? Dim update_phase_before As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TE_shounin_todokesho_jizen (syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou) SELECT syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou FROM TE_todokesho WHERE TE_todokesho.b_a='before'", cnn) Dim update_phase_after As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TE_shounin_todokesho_jigo (syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou) SELECT syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou FROM TE_todokesho WHERE TE_todokesho.b_a='after'", cnn)
Hello, how can i merge together several select statements?

I'm running a custom built report on .net page Basically there are a lot categories. I need to run SQL statements for and for each category, the catch is these statements are all in loops for i = 1 to 12. Therefore 108 categories X 12 iterations of SQL calls = a little more that 1200 sql calls from one .net page. There is obviously a major problem with load time and running these reports are painful to the user and the system.
Is there any easier way to possibly pre-compile all the data into a temp database so I wouldn't need to make as many sql calls??????? If so, would a stored procedure handle something like this. Sorry for being somewhat vague.
How do I handle and apostrophes and other punctuation in stored procedure Sql statements: SELECT L_ID, L_NameFROM tblHVACContractorsWHERE (L_Name = 'Mare's Heating & Cooling Services')
Hello, I have SqlDataSource to retrieve a data into DetailsView, or GridView, whatever. I want to use two Select command like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="Data Source=AHMED-4714D04B3;Initial Catalog=mp;Integrated Security=True" <% if (( parID == 3) || (ParID ==4) { SelectCommand="SELECT [PID], [PageID], [PageContent], [ParID], [ChiID] FROM [mp_page] WHERE ([ParID] = @ParID)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="ParID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" /> </SelectParameters> } else {
SelectCommand="SELECT [PID], [PageID], [PageContent], [ParID], [ChiID] FROM [mp_page] WHERE ([ChiID] = @ChiID)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="ChiID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" /> </SelectParameters> } </asp:SqlDataSource> Is it possible to do something like that ?
I'm trying to combine the following two strings to create a single Insert statement (and thus only generate one record instead of two). insertString = "Insert comments (uID) Select uID FROM users WHERE uName = @uName" insertString2 = "INSERT comments (eventID, text) VALUES ( @eventID, @comment)" I have tried: Insert comments (uID, eventID, text) SELECT uID FROM users WHERE uName = @uName VALUES (uID, @eventID, @comment) Individually they work fine, but I can't get the syntax correct to allow them to work together. As you can tell, I'm not very good with SQL, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I have a web application that has SQL7 as the back end. SQLServer and ORACLE have a feature that allows sql commands to be combined in one statement. Another words I am able to to
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = 2 DROP TABLE other_table
If I type this in a query analyzer It will perform both commands. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off.
The main reason I want to turn it off is so if a numerical value is sent as a url variable someone can't add the drop table statement or any other sql command to the value of the url variable and have it executed. We have added ample code to trap for this problem but I would like to also handle it at the database level.
I'm having some real problems using the OR condition in a very simple SQL statement and could use your help or insight on where the problem lies, or perhaps a workaround.
I have a large flat table in a SQL 7 database with 10 million + records called "HISTORY". I have not installed either service pack 1 or 2. I'm attempting to run a query that references the following four fields which are all non-clustered keys:
EQUIPMENT_NO TEXT 12 CHASSIS_IN TEXT 12 CHASSIS TEXT 12 SVC_DATE_TIME SMALLDATETIME
Here's the SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM HISTORY WHERE (HISTORY.EQUIPMENT_NO = 'XYZ123' OR HISTORY.CHASSIS = 'XYZ123' OR HISTORY.CHASSIS_IN = 'XYZ123') AND SVC_DATE_TIME >= '01/15/00 00:00:00 AM' AND SVC_DATE_TIME <= '02/28/00 23:59:59 PM' ORDER BY EQUIPMENT_NO
This query takes 11 min. 5 sec. inder the Query Analyzer and ultimately returns the 31 desired records.
If you remove the SVC_DATE_TIME criteria, about 350 records are returned in a matter of seconds. I've also tried variations on the date syntax such as '01/15/00', etc. with no change in the amount of time to execute.
Other queries such as a simple AND condition combining EQUIPMENT_NO and SVC_DATE_TIME are snappy.
Are there known problems/bugs with "OR" conditions in queries that anyone is aware of, particularly with parentheses; am I composing this query incorrectly? Is there some alternate syntax that would work as expected? I can't see where the query shouldn't execute quickly as expected, particularly with all indexed fields involved. I'm stumped! Lend me your expertise. Thanks much.

I am having some problems trying to build an sql statement from more than one statement.
Here is the statement
select 'Insert App_Column (Table_ID, Column_Type_Transformation, Column_Name, ) Values (@table_ID,' ,'NULL,', name from payatwork..syscolumns where id in ( select id from payatwork..sysobjects where name like 'Employee_Profile') order by colorder, ')'
What I am finding is that the bracket at the end of the statement is not appearing - how do I append statements to the end of this sql statement (i've tried various combinations of the + sign and the comma without success.

I have 2 piece of code designed to do the same thing. My problem is, i'm not getting the same results.
Code 1 where the results are correct
Code:
select Count(*) as TotalCount, Sum(DistAmt) as TotalSum from table1 inner join table2 on table2.id = table1.id where MailTypeID = 3 AND MailEventID = 2 and table1.IsActive = 1
code 2 - Y is correct, but Z is not, and not only is it not correct, but it is returning a number which equals more then the total rows from the table.
Code:
select Y = sum(case when mailtypeid = 3 and maileventid = 2 and IsActive = 1 then distamt else 0 end), Z = count(case when mailtypeid = 3 and maileventid = 2 and IsActive = 1 then 1 else 0 end) from table1 inner join table2 on table2.id = table1.id
