How To Automatically Populate A Field With A Value From A Previous Record?

Mar 16, 2008



Was wondering if there is easy anyway to autopopulate a field by pulling a value from a field in the previous record?

For example, I have a table with fields name "Dist_From" and "Dist_To". When I add a new record I would like it to populate the "Dist_From" field with the "Dist_to" value from the previous record.

TIA

Automatically Update Another Field Based On Other Parts Of The Record???

Feb 28, 2006

Sql is not a strong point with me so I'm just going to throw this out there. I have a stored procedure that updates the quantity in my 'CartItems' table. Is there a way to have something else happen within the stored procedure that will update another field based on other parts of the record? There is a 'lineTotal' field that I need to equal the 'pounds * itemSell' fields which are both fields within this record.
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateCartItem(@cartItemID Int,@newQuantity numeric(9))ASUPDATE CartItems Set quantity = @newQuantityWHERE cartItemID = @cartItemIDGO

Automatically Update Datetime Field In A Database Table.

Feb 28, 2006

hi e'body:

I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).

thanks in advance.

Datamining Model Automatically Add Space To Field Name. Can't Use Prediction Join With Original Table

Aug 30, 2007

Dear All,


I have a database table which has all the inputs, key and the result. In visual studio, I created a decision tree model which has exactly the same fields as in the table. However the visual studio automatically add space preceding the capital letters. As the field name in the Datamining model and those in the database table are slightly different. I cannot use NATURAL prediction join. Is there anyway to told the visual studio not to add the spaces in the variable names?

Thanks and regards,

Automatically Populate Application User Defined Field Based On Other Fields In Table

Nov 22, 2015

I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.

Writing a script to accomplish the following:

The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
 
- First_Name
 - Last_Name
 - Email
 - User_Field_2
 - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)

Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?

Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?

Reporting Services :: Automatically Select All In Parameter After Refresh

Apr 20, 2015

Is it possible to set the parameter option to "Select all" after the options in the parameter have been filtered by another parameter? For example:

Parameter Area contains Europe, North America, South America.
Parameter Country contains the country's that are in Europe, North America and South America.

When the Area Parameter is set to Europe, the country parameter only contains the country's that are in Europe. When you want to see the complete dataset in the report again, you change the Area Parameter to Europe, North America and South America again, and press view report.

Then the Country Parameter only has the country's that are in Europe selected, so the dataset is still filtered to the European country's. Is it possible to automatically set the country parameter to select all after the Area parameter has been se back to all Area's again?

Increased Backup Size For Unknown Reason

May 25, 2004

Does any one know what could be making the size of a backup get so big in SQL server?

I noticed if you back-up the same database in Enterprise Manager over and over (without making any changes to the database), the size of the backup gets bigger and bigger. To get around this I simply erase the backup and create a new one.

Now I'm experiencing the same kind of problem, different situation. I decided to make very few changes to my database. If anything, I shrunk the size of the tables and stored procedures.... Now all of a sudden my database backup is 7 times larger.

What could be increasing the size so much, if I haven't increased the amount of tables or stored procedures?

What is the log file about? Mine is huge? Is there a way to reset it or clear it?

any help would be great.

Thank you,


Alec

Database Space Size Increased On Deleting Records

Feb 20, 2008

Hi,

I was running out of space and thus deleted some rows from a table. To my surprise the db size increased. I then shrunk it to bring it back to what it was earlier.

When i deleted some 5000 rows, some space must have been released. Where did the space go and why did the db size increase after deleting the records?

I thght it might be log files..but db is set to Simple Recovery which does not utilize a Log File.

Any reasons?

SQL 2012 :: Read And Write Speeds Not Increased With Additional Disks

Mar 13, 2014

Why I see absolutely no performance improvement when I spread my primary file group over 8 separate files on 8 separate disks, as opposed to having the primary file group all in one file on one disk.

I have set up 2 identical databases, one spread over 8 disks and one on one disk. Each database has a table called DATA and a column called VALUE. Value is NVARCHAR(200). I have filled each table up in both databases with 20,000 rows.

I then perform a select on each table in each database using CHECKPOINT and DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to ensure I am reading from disk before each query and the execution times are identical in both databases.

I then ran the same queries against each database using a load testing tool and the batch requests per second on each DB is identical under load.

Surely the database with data spread over 8 disks should be FAR faster than the single file database as you have the combined reading power of 8 disks as opposed to 2??

Also, the same is happening for write speeds. When I create the data on both databases, the time it takes is identical on both.

BOL says it should be faster with multiple disks.

Just FYI this is on an Azure virtual machine and each disk is a locally redundant data disk that I have attached to the virtual machine.

Whether write speeds should increase with multiple disks or just read speeds?

Select Max Value Of One Field For Value Of Other Field(s)

Feb 29, 2008

I would like to query a table for a max value of one field for a distinct combination of two other fields. Let's call these fields RowID, ObjectID, and ObjectType. RowID is an auto-increment field, so for each distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType, there will be many values of RowID. To visualize an example:

RowID, ObjectID, ObjectType
1 , 1 , 1
2 , 1 , 2
3 , 1 , 3
4 , 1 , 1
5 , 1 , 2
6 , 1 , 3

Of these rows, I would only want 4, 5, and 6 (max values for distinct combination of ObjectID and ObjectType).

I hope I explained this clearly. I would imagine I'd need to use some form of nested query, but nothing I have tried so far has worked. I am using SQL 2005.

Thanks!
