Final Part - Min() Function
May 23, 2006
I have the final part of my report to complete. Yesterday I posted the most confusing set of threads ever on a public forum. So to cut the confusion, I am starting this thread again as now I know exactly what I need.
I have two tables each of which have a function that gathers data from them based around a set of parameters. This is then manipulated by a third function and the results of which are passed into a Stored Procedure. Here is the T-SQL syntax used for the SP;
SELECT fnWTRalldataReport.Areacode, fnWTRalldataReport.siteref, fnWTRalldataReport.estatename, fnWTRalldataReport.Securitised,
fnWTRalldataReport.unitref, fnWTRalldataReport.unittype, fnWTRalldataReport.unittype_count, fnWTRalldataReport.tenantname,
fnWTRalldataReport.tenantstatus, fnWTRalldataReport.tenantstatus_count, fnWTRalldataReport.unitstatus, fnWTRalldataReport.unitstatus_count,
fnWTRalldataReport.floortotal, fnWTRalldataReport.floortotocc, fnWTRalldataReport.floorspaceperc, fnWTRalldataReport.initialvacarea,
fnWTRalldataReport.initialvacnet, fnWTRalldataReport.TotalRent, fnWTRalldataReport.NetRent, fnWTRalldataReport.FinalRtLsincSC,
fnWTRalldataReport.rentrolldiscperc, fnWTRalldataReport.netrentpersqft, fnWTRalldataReport.ErvTot, fnWTRalldataReport.tenancyterm,
fnWTRalldataReport.landact, fnWTRalldataReport.datadate, fnWTRalldataReport.div_mgr, fnWTRalldataReport.portfolio_mgr,
fnWTRalldataReport.propcat, fnWTRalldataReport.budgeted_net_rent, fnWTRalldataReport.budgeted_occupancy,
fnWTRbudgetdata_1.budgeted_net_rent AS budget_rent, fnWTRbudgetdata_1.budgeted_occupancy AS budget_occ
FROM dbo.fnWTRalldataReport(@dt_src_date, @chr_div, @vch_portfolio_no, @vch_prop_cat) AS fnWTRalldataReport LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.fnWTRbudgetdata(@dt_src_date) AS fnWTRbudgetdata_1 ON fnWTRalldataReport.siteref = fnWTRbudgetdata_1.site_ref
The result of this SQL places a value for budget_rent and budget_occ against every row that the 1st function's result set. What I want to achieve is that where the site_ref is equal in both functions results, I want it to place the budget_rent & budget_occ value against the first row only of each site_ref only.
To explain briefly the structure. Table one has various fields including site_ref and unit_ref. There are many unit_ref's per site_ref in this table. Table 2 has only site_ref and budget info. Someone yesterday suggested that I could achieve this my using something along the lines of the Min() function e.g. Min(unit_ref).
Could someone please elaborate on this for me. I have gone through my SQL book and read about min() and also BOL, but I can't quite work the syntax out to put the budget info against only one line per site based around the lowest unit_ref per site_ref.
This might seem confusing, but it is easier to read than the other thread I assure you.

I've managed to use the pivot function using the code below which gives me the following output:
Location_Code Gt 0-1 Gt 1-2 Gt 2-3 Gt 3-4
North 10 0 3 5
West 6 3 2 0
South 4 2 8 2
This is exactly what I want but I would like an additional final column that will total the columns by location_code and weekband.
[Location_Code] AS 'Location Code'
,[Gt 0-1], [Gt 1-2], [Gt 2-3], [Gt 3-4]
from (select [WeekBand]
,[Location_Code]
, count(*) as CountOf

I have made the following Scalar-valued function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeCalc]
(
@OriginalTime AS INTEGER
, @TenthsOrHundredths AS INTEGER -- code 2: 1/10, code 4: 1/100
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(8)
[Code] ....
What it does is convert numbers to times
E.g.: 81230 gets divided by 10 (times in seconds: 8123). This 1 1 full minute, and the remainder = 2123 making it 1.21.23 mins)
So far so good (function works perfectly)
My question: sometimes times are in 1/100 (like above sample), sometimes in 1/10.
This means that, e.g. with a time like 3.23.40 the last zero must be deleted.
My thoughts are to use the results from the Return Case part, and as the code = 4: leave it as it is,
is the code 2 the use LEFT(... result Return Case ..., Len(..result Return Case.. - 1))
There are 5 codes: 0 1 2 3 and 4

Hi,
I just found out that when I create a user defined scalar function, I must call it using dbo.[myFunctionName]. Why won't it work w/out dbo? Why are stored procedures able to use omit dbo?
Also, what is dbo specifying? I'm very unfamiliar with sql server security. Is this the user, schema, role? What's a schema? lol. Thanks.

I have about 8 databases to integrate. All of the databases have ssno, address city...ect. I need to create a DW table with one unique record for each actual person. In other words,
Joe Smith,123 Main St, Anytown, State,....+ssno
goes into the DW table and is the same person as Joseph S. Smith,123 Main Street... and any other versions.
Could someone point me to a reference or give me an outline of how to do this in and SSIS package?
Is fuzzy logic used here?
Do I need to deduplicate the feeder systems first??
It needs to handle a situation in, for example, the Bronx New York where there could be an apartment buiding with 7 people named Jose Sanchez .
I hope I've been clear, I'm a newbie at this DW stuff, but it's fascinating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have SSRS 2005 SP2 configured to work in Sharepoint integration. Everything works fine except that I am not able to programmatically change any property of report viewer web part (instance) that I have added on on home page of my sharepoint site.
I can do same thing via sharepoint UI but not through program. When my programs runs it fetches all web parts been added on home page, then I need to iterate through each one and find report viewer web part.
While iterating, as soon as I arrive to report viewer web part it is named as "Error web part" with error message as
"Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again"
If someone has a solution, please respond at your earlist.
Thanks

The test sub below operates on a SQL Server Table with an xml-type field ("xml"). The purpose of the sub is to learn about storing and retrieving a whole xml document as a single field in a SQL Server table row.When the code saves to the xml field, it somehow automagically strips the xml.document.declaration (<?xml...>). So when it reads the xml field back and tries to create an xmldocument from it, it halts at the xmldocument.load.I order to get the save/retrieve from the xmlfield to work, I add the <?xml declaration to the string when I read it back in from the xml field (this is in the code below).At that point the quickwatch on the string I'm attempting to load into the xmldocument is this:-----------------------------------------------------<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?><Control type="TypeA"><Value1><SubVal1A>Units</SubVal1A><SubVal1Btype="TypeA">Type</SubVal1B></Value1><Value2><SubVal2A>Over</SubVal2A><SubVal2B>Load</SubVal2B></Value2></Control>-----------------------------------------------------The original xml document string is this:-----------------------------------------------------<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?><Control type="TypeA"> <Value1> <SubVal1A>Units</SubVal1A> <SubVal1B type="TypeA">Type</SubVal1B> </Value1> <Value2> <SubVal2A>Over</SubVal2A> <SubVal2B>Load</SubVal2B> </Value2></Control>-----------------------------------------------------which seems to have all the same characters as the quickwatch result above, but clearly is formatted differently because of the indenting.THE FIRST QUESTION: Is there a simpler way to do this whole thing using more appropriate methods that don't require adding the xml.document.declaration back in after reading the .xml field, or don't require using the memorystream to convert the .xml field in order to load it back to the XML document.THE SECOND QUESTION: Why does the original document open in the browser with "utf-16", but when I write the second document back to disk with "utf-16" it won't open...I have to change it to "utf-8" to open the second document in the browser.Here's the test sub'============================================ Public Sub XMLDSTest() '=========================================== Dim ColumnType As String = "XML" '=========================================== '----------Set up dataset, datatable, xmldocument Dim wrkDS As New DSet1() Dim wrkTable As New DSet1.Table1DataTable Dim wrkAdapter As New DSet1TableAdapters.Table1TableAdapter Dim wrkXDoc As New XmlDocument wrkXDoc.Load(SitePath & "App_XML" & "XMLFile.xml") Dim str1 = wrkXDoc.OuterXml Dim wrkRow As DSet1.Table1Row wrkRow = wrkTable.NewRow '=======WRITE to SQL Server============== '------ build new row With wrkRow Dim wrkG As Guid = System.Guid.NewGuid TestKey = wrkG.ToString .RecordKey = TestKey .xml = wrkXDoc.OuterXml '<<< maps to SQL Server xml-type field End With '----- add row to table and update to disk wrkTable.Rows.Add(wrkRow) wrkAdapter.Update(wrkTable) wrkTable.AcceptChanges() '----- clear table wrkTable.Clear() '=======READ From SQL Server ============== '----refill table, read row, wrkAdapter.FillBy(wrkTable, TestKey) Dim wrkRow2 As DSet1.Table1Row = _ wrkTable.Select("RecordKey = '" & TestKey & "'")(0) '===== WRITE TO New .xml FILE =========================== Dim wrkS1 As New StringBuilder Select Case ColumnType Case "XML" '---if xml build xml declaration: '---add this to xml from sql table => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?> wrkS1.Append("<?xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34)) wrkS1.Append(" encoding=" & Chr(34) & "utf-16" & Chr(34) & " ?>") wrkS1.Append(wrkRow2.xml) End Select Dim wrkBytes As Byte() = (New UnicodeEncoding).GetBytes(wrkS1.ToString) Dim wrkXDoc2 As New XmlDocument Dim wrkStream As New MemoryStream(wrkBytes) wrkXDoc2.Load(wrkStream) '=========================================== '---- this just shows that the file actually was touched Dim wrkN2 As XmlNode = wrkXDoc2.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Text, "ss", "TestNode2") wrkN2 = wrkXDoc2.SelectSingleNode("//Value1/SubVal1B") wrkN2.Attributes("type").Value = "This was from the xml field" '---------------- '------ update the encoding....otherwise the file won't open in the browser with utf-16 Dim wrkN1 As XmlNode = wrkXDoc2.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "ss", "TestNode") wrkN1 = wrkXDoc2.FirstChild wrkN1.InnerText = Replace(wrkN1.InnerText, "utf-16", "utf-8") '------------Now write the file back as an .xml file Dim wrkFilePath As String = SitePath & "App_XML" & "XMLFile2.xml" Dim wrkXW As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(wrkFilePath) wrkXDoc2.WriteContentTo(wrkXW) wrkXW.Close() End Sub===============================

I have a table with a column named measurement decimal(18,1). If the value is 2.0, I want the stored proc to return 2 but if the value is 2.5 I want the stored proc to return 2.5. So if the value after the decimal point is 0, I only want the stored proc to return the integer portion. Is there a sql function that I can use to determine what the fraction part of the decimal value is? In c#, I can use
dr["measurement "].ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray())[1] to see what the value after the decimal is.

I have a procedure I need to get the values out of..I am using outputs...I have no idea why it wont work......I need all values listed in the select part of procedure....
CREATE procedure dbo.Appt_Login_NET

@Password NvarChar(15),
@UserName nvarchar(15)Output,
@UserPassword nvarchar(15)Output,
@UserClinic nvarchar(3)Output,
@UserTester bit Output
)
as
select
UserName,
UserPassword,
UserClinic,
UserTester
from
Clinic_users
where
UserName = @LoginName
and
UserPassword = @Password
GO
my vb.net code to retrive this info is
Private Sub Button1_ServerClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.ServerClick
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;database=APPOINTMENTS;uid=webtest;pwd=webtest")
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim parmuser As SqlParameter
Dim parmus As SqlParameter
Dim parmpass As SqlParameter
Dim parmtest As SqlParameter
Dim struser As String
Dim strpass As String
Dim strclinic As String
Dim strnames As String
Dim tester As String
strpass = txtPass.Value
struser = txtUser.Value
cmd = New SqlCommand("Appt_Login_NET", con)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add("@LoginName", struser)
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Password", strpass)
parmus = cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserName", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
parmus.Size = 15
parmus.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
parmuser = cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserClinic", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
parmuser.Size = 3
parmuser.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
parmpass = cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserPassword", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
parmpass.Size = 15
parmpass.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
parmtest = cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserTester", SqlDbType.Bit)
parmtest.Size = 1
parmtest.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
If Not IsDBNull(cmd.Parameters("@UserName").Value) Then
Label1.Text = cmd.Parameters("@UserName").Value()
Else
Label1.Text = "No Results Found"
End If
con.Close()
End Sub
Why does this always show as "DBNUll" I get nothing when I debug any of my parm variables.I searched the SQl Server and in Query analyzer instead of the output variables in the procedure being just outputs they are input/outputs...................What does it take to get this working??? Do I need a conversion datatype I would prefer I gain the values and store them in variables......

I would like to update the final table with values into a comma separator as follows with examples:
I think I have the IDs set correctly for this example:
You can see from the final table that the code column can be a combination of more than one rows from the map tables...
create table #tblTax(TaxStatusID int, FullName varchar(20)
insert into #tblTax values(1, 'Taxable')
insert into #tblTax values(2, 'exempt')
create table #tblTypes(TypeID int, description varchar(100)
insert into #tblTypes values(1, 'cor')
insert into #tblTypes values(2, 'tyr')
[code]....
Looking at the above example, I would like to have the #tblMain as follows
#tblMain
ShoetNameLongNameClientNameTaxIDTypeID

I want to call my stored proc for that last 4 months. Basically all I need to do is pass each month's first date and it will do the rest. Should I shove this into a UDF first? I'm not sure if I can do that. The struction is here behind my stored proc: http://www.webfound.net/storedproc.txt
EXEC IT_Get_Dashboard_Monthly '2006-05-03 12:03:43.910' <-- change to UDF or leave it? Then how can I loop and change each month to cover the last 4 months?
I also need to ensure all 4 values returned in each interation show up in one row in the final result set that is produced

Hello,
I have noticed that for one of my data-flows, the process is really long during the phase "the final commit data insertion has started".
To be accurate, the process is fast until it reaches this phase. It happens often when I load millions of lines.
The extraction is done from a database SQL Server 2005 to a database SQL Server 2005, on the same server (with the SQL Server native provider).
I used a SQL Server destination but I have tried with an OLE DB destination and it is the same situation.
Why the process could be so long during this phase?
There is a way to optimised my package to avoid that?
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks.
Guillaume

What different are there between connectionString (Part 1) and connectionString (Part 2) in web.config
The CCWW is my PC's name, normally I can connect to the database ASPNETDB.MDF correctly either Part 1 or Part 2 in a web page,After I open Database Explorer panel and browse ASPNETDB.MDF, I can't connect to database using Part 2 when I open a webpage in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition,but I can correctly open a webpage using Part 1 after I open Database Explorer panel.
What different are there between connectionString (Part 1) and connectionString (Part 2) in web.config?
I guess while I use Part 1 to connect, maybe it will be cancel exclusive method of the database ASPNETDB.MDF first, but when I connect to database using Part 2, maybe two programms both Part 2 and Database Explorer visit ASPNETDB.MDF at the same time!
--------------------------------------Part 1------------------------------------------------------------------------<add name="MyConnect" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> --------------------------------------Part 1------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------Part 2------------------------------------------------------------------------<add name="MyConnect" connectionString="Data Source=CCWWSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />--------------------------------------Part 2------------------------------------------------------------------------

I executed the following sql script successfuuly:
shcInLineTableFN.sql:
USE pubs
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.AuthorsForState(@cState char(2))
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (SELECT * FROM Authors WHERE state = @cState)
GO
And the "dbo.AuthorsForState" is in the Table-valued Functions, Programmabilty, pubs Database.
I tried to get the result out of the "dbo.AuthorsForState" by executing the following sql script:
shcInlineTableFNresult.sql:
USE pubs
GO
SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN
GO
I got the following error message:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'shcInLineTableFN'.
Please help and advise me how to fix the syntax
"SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN"
and get the right table shown in the output.
Thanks in advance,

I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

In a recent post, I've read that Jet Provider is only provided with 32-bit.
I wonder, is there any problem if you run a SSIS package 32-bit which read from Access and then call another SSIS package 64 bit?? We've got quite 2000 dts which pulling data from MDB and within a time it'll disappear in favour 2005 environment .
Another question, what sort of Providers don't offer us 64-bit versions???
Any link or thought will be as usual welcomed

from tblEquipments a
inner join tblEquipments_Group U on u.categoryID = a.EquipmentType

inner join tblLocation b on a.status = b.locationID
inner join tblSubCategories c on u.subCategoryID = @type
and c.Parent = @type
The table tblSubCategories has a field Name that I need.
tblSubCategories has a field, Parent, that will = @type
See this post for the other table fields if needed.
http://forums.asp.net/thread/1489880.aspx
If I omit the last inner join, all is ok, but I need that last bit of info - the c.Name.
Suggestions?

Thanks everyone for being helpful. I am new to SQL Server and don't have many coworkers so I am relying heavily on this forum's help.
It seems the previous poster on this issue was able to work it out but I am still not able to get it to work.
I have tried using the server URL, the server machine name, the ipaddress with alias, but still cannot connect with the replication over vpn. Any ideas?
Also, how can I set the subscriber from the server? How do I refer to the subscriber machine? Let's say it is my pc that I want to make changes in and have them replicate to the server? When I specify a pull subscription I am not show how to refer to my computer.

Hi,
i am trying to write a query the pulls out a table which has date information stored as dd/mm/yyy but all i want is the month and the year.
So i tried
select datepart(mm, dtinsertdate)
from incident
which only gives me month and also used
select datepart(year,dtinsertdate) [year], datepart(month, dtinsertdate)[month],
Which works but i want both in the same column.
But when trying to get both mm, yyyy it looks like it only supports one datepart. Is there any way aroung this?
Many Thanks

Hi allPlease read my previous post here if this interests you:http://groups.google.co.uk/group/co...pu+usage&hl=en&I have (or rather a colleague has) found the situation that appears tobe causing this problem but I am still no further to finding asolution.It appears that if we execute a query against one particular table inthe database and that query requests data that is not indexed, or acolumn in the where clause is not indexed then this is when problemsoccur.The table cannot be copied using DTS reporting the error:"Error occurred copying row 3 - unspecified error".However, we can query using:"SELECT TOP n FROM <Table>"where n so far has been between 3 and 100000.However we cannot do SELECT * FROM <Table>.All we can guess at for now is that the problem occurs when a query isperformed to try and fetch data that is not indexed, using an index inthe where clause.i.e. SELECT <Non-indexed column> FROM <Table> WHERE <Indexed Column> =nCould it be possible that we have one 'rogue' row in the table somehowthat is causing the problem?The only thing to dispel this is that we can do the following:SELECT * FROM <Table> WHERE ID < 1which returns 1 row with ID = -1.We cannot do:SELECT * FROM <Table> WHERE ID < 200 even though we know that the onlyrecord matching this criteria is the record with ID = -1.Therefore the exact same data should be returned yet one query failsand one works.The actual problem that we see is that memory usage climbsdramatically, then once all memory is used, the CPU usage climbs to100% and stays there until we have to restart SQL Server.Any suggestions on this would be hugely appreciated.Thanks,Paul
