Finding All Views With A Specific Name, In All Databases
Nov 17, 2006Hi,
We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and we have a view created in many of our databases. That view must be changed after the migration because it uses system tables and does not return the correct information in SQL Server 2005.
To do that, I want to create an SSIS-package that loops through all the databases on a particular server. If that view exists in the database, I want to run a script that change the view.
What I try to do:
Set up a For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
Set the connection to my server
Set the Enumerate property to "SMOEnumObj[@Name='Databases']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place Index 0 in Variable User::dbName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::dbName
This all works good. The problem comes when I try to nest the For Each Loop
Inside the "For Each Database Loop", place a new For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
I connect the Msgbox Script Task with the new For each loop
Use the same connection
Set the EnumURN property in the Expression Builder to "Database[@Name='" + @[User::dbName] +"']/SMOEnumObj[@Name='Views']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place index 0 in Variable User::tabName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::tabName
When I try to run the package now, it does not at all.
In my Progress tab I see that Validation has started and completed for each task, but I see now errors. Nothing has run.
Test 1: I change the DelayValidation for the Inner Loop to True
Now the package runs, but I never get to the script task in the inner loop.
Question 1: What's the problem?
Question 2: Is there another way to do this?
Regards
Magnus
Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Finding The Max Value
Aug 16, 2006I have a report that is grouped by week. The details of the week have the date, time interval (half hour), and the maximum value for that day. So in the example below I am showing the week of May 21st. Then I have all of the days of that week, sorted by date as requested, with the halfhour the maximum value occured in on that day. So Monday the 22nd has the maximum value for the week at 254 (and is highlighted in red). Where the ????? are below, I need to display '1400' which is the interval, but have not yet been able to figure out how to do this.
I tried the following expression:
=iif(max(Fields!MaxValue.Value) = Fields!MaxValue.Value, Fields!Interva.Value, "X")
but this only works if the first day is the maximum value.

Finding The Next Record
Apr 26, 2007I have, say 4 rows for 1 client I want to find the date difference between two(or more) of the rows when the first has a true flag and the next does not
Row1 Date1,falseRow2 Date2,trueRow3 Date3,falseRow4 Date4,false
so I want to find the difference between Row2 Date2 and Row3 Date4I know I can loop through the rows but with 000's of clients each with x numbers of rows this will surely be very slow
Finding Data
Feb 2, 2008I have a form where users can enter an appointment on this form some personal details are entered. I want the users to be able to write in a textbox the users surname. they will then press a button next to the textbox that will bring up a smaller screen displaying that users details :
SELECT * FROM Members where surname = (textbox1)
Alternatively the users can click the button and bring up a screen where the users can put the surname into a textbox and then bring up the users details this way.
I am not sure how to do this or how to select from the database where a field in the database is the same as the information put in to a text.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance Mike

Finding Duplicates In SQL
Jul 26, 2002I have a customer database with the following structure:
Dept ID (int)
Section (varchar)
I need to find only occurrences of a section (eg Admin) where the section name has a record in Dept 1,2 and 3 - only return the result if the record for Admin is associated will these depts.
Example Data:
Dept Section
1 Admin
1 Finance
1 Marketing
2 Admin
2 Sales
2 Marketing
3 Admin
3 Sales
3 Finance
The query would only return 'Admin' since this is the only Section that is represented in Departments 1,2 + 3.
I am not in control of the data design and can't create a bitwise field to achieve this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFinding The First Distinct Value
Sep 8, 2004Hi
My problem is a little tricky. I am trying to get the first distinct row(s) from a table where one column will have only a few differences, while a second is unique.
Now using "distinct" doesnt help as even though distinct(column1) may return only a few rows, because the next column is unique you will still have all rows returned.
How do I return only 1 row per distinct(column1) and drop the rest? What makes this so annoying is that all columns need to be returned, but only in accordance to distinct(column1)
Finding Relationships
Sep 23, 2005Hi, sorry if this comes across as a stupid question, but i'm new to SQL. I have had a look on Google and on these forums but not found the answer..
I am running MS SQL 7 with a database containing around 130 tables.. i want to know if there is a query/command that i can type that will look through all the tables and tell me which ones reference a specified table (through it's key). Hope this makes sense! i've looked at some of the stored procedures but not found any that give me anything useful.
EDIT: Just so you are aware, i did not create this database, hence why i am not aware of the relationships myself, i have only just started working on it.
Thanks

Finding The Table Name.
Dec 15, 2006I have a script that creates these spin off tables (used for lightning fast access) on a near daily basis. But it is possible the table does not exist for that day - in which the script need to check one day back - so on and so forth until finding the most recently created table.
The script I have written fails with overflow error.
I was hoping someone could tell me the correct syntax to accomplish this and also why i recieve this overflow error...
Code:
Dim str_SQL_Asset_1
daysBack = 1
tblFound = FALSE
Dim xbl_Holdings_date
Dim xMonth
Dim xDay
xbl_Holdings_date = date()
If Len(Month(xbl_Holdings_date))=1 Then
xMonth = "0" & Month(xbl_Holdings_date)
Else
xMonth = Month(xbl_Holdings_date)
End If
If Len(Day(xbl_Holdings_date))=1 Then
xDay = "0" & Day(xbl_Holdings_date)
Else
xDay = Day(xbl_Holdings_date)
End If
DO WHILE tblFound = FALSE
xbl_Holdings_Name = "xbl_Holdings_" & Year(xbl_Holdings_date) & "_" & xMonth & "_" & xDay
SQL_tblCheck_STR = "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES " & _
"WHERE table_name = '" & xbl_Holdings_Name & "' "
Set MM_checkCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
MM_checkCmd.ActiveConnection = conn_str_ClientDB
MM_checkCmd.Source = SQL_tblCheck_STR
MM_checkCmd.CursorType = 0
MM_checkCmd.CursorLocation = 2
MM_checkCmd.LockType = 3
MM_checkCmd.Open()
IF MM_checkCmd.EOF Then
xbl_Holdings_date = (xbl_Holdings_date - daysBack)
daysBack = daysBack + 1
tblFound = FALSE
ELSE
tblFound = TRUE
MM_checkCmd.CLOSE()
SET MM_checkCmd = Nothing
END IF
loop
The goal of this snippet is simply to identify and set the value for the existing table name.
An example table name would be "xbl_Holdings_2006_12_10".
I could have posted this question in the VB forum but I would like to push as much of the work onto SQL as possible and also - this sort of operation is more likely to be required of a dba imo.

Help Finding The Max Total
Dec 3, 2004Hi,
I have the following code
SELECT
PR.WBS2,
SUM(CASE WHEN LedgerAR.Period = '200408' AND LedgerAR.TransType <> 'CR'
THEN Ledgerar.amount * - 1
ELSE '0' END) AS BillExt
FROM PR
LEFT JOIN Ledgerar ON PR.WBS1 = Ledgerar.WBS1 AND
PR.WBS2 = Ledgerar.WBS2 AND PR.WBS3 = Ledgerar.WBS3
WHERE PR.WBS2 <> '98' AND pr.wbs2 <> '9001'
AND pr.wbs2 <> 'zzz' AND pr.wbs3 <> 'zzz' AND
pr.wbs1 = '001-298'
GROUP BY PR.WBS2
It prints out:
Wbs2 BillExt
0141 0
0143 0
1217 20580
I want the code to return the wbs2 code '1217' because it has the highest amount in BillExt '20580'.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Lets say i have 500000 rows of cars in one table with 30000 different car ID's.
This table contains no keys, no date values, but I need the last row of these 30000 different cars. How do I get them without adapting table structure and without using cursors ?

Finding Duplicates - Is This Right?
May 16, 2007I've done a search and I THINK I've got my head round this, but I'd be very grateful if someone could reassure me:
SELECT Email FROM List1 WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT Email FROM List2 WHERE List2.Email= List1.Email
) AND List1.Email <> '44'
That will give me every email address from list one that (a) appears in list two, and (b) isn't '44'. Right?
And to find all the emails from List1 that DON'T occur in List2 (and aren't '44'), I just put "NOT" in front of "EXISTS". Right?
Sorry for asking an obvious question but I'm having a real mental block here. :o
Finding Some Tables

View 2 Replies View RelatedFinding A Set Of Data Not In Another Set
Apr 15, 2013Our products exist in batches. These batches reference a warehouse.Each warehouse carries a set of 'roles'.Users on our system also carry 'roles'. Comparing user and warehouse roles tells the system what warehouses a user can access.
So, if:
WAREHOUSE1 has roles A + B
WAREHOUSE 2 has role B
WAREHOUSE 3 has roles A + C
and
USER1 has role A
USER2 has roles A + B + C
USER3 has role C
then
USER1 will have access to WAREHOUSE1 and WAREHOUSE3
USER2 will have access to all 3 warehouses
USER3 will have access to WAREHOUSE3.
What I need to do is write some SQL which allows a part number to be entered, and a list of batches for that part to be shown with a list of users who *CANNOT* access that part - because they do not have the relevant 'roles' for the warehouse(s) the part is in.
I can do the *opposite* of this quite easily (ie: show users who HAVE got access):
select distinct sb.batchnumber, ur.userid
from stockbatches sb
inner join warehouseroles wr on sb.warehouseid = wr.warehouseid
inner join user_roles ur on wr.roleid = ur.roleid where sb.partid = @part
order by sb.batchnumber, ur.userid
- it's a straightforward join between the warehouse and user roles, with a 'distinct' to eliminate any duplications.
Fair enough, but it's not what I want.
Using the role data above, with the following batch info:
Batch 1000, warehouse WAREHOUSE1
Batch 1001, warehouse WAREHOUSE2
Batch 1002, warehouse WAREHOUSE3
I actually want to get this results set:
Batch Users who can't use this batch
1000 USER3
1001 USER1
1001 USER3
I'm certain I can write the necessary logic programmatically in T-SQL, looking for single-statement SQL call?

Help With Finding Out Latest Changes
Apr 8, 2008So here is my dilemma:
We have licensed software from a 3rd party and we do not have the source code, nor can we do anything to change the database schema, write our own procs, triggers, etc.
With that said, we want to know which records in certain tables have been added or modified since a certain time (for example, in the past 24 hours). However, none of the tables has any datetime or timestamp columns on them for create date, update date, etc.
I tried to look into hacking thru DBCC log (dbname, 2) to see if that would help, what a mess. Using a tool like that from Luminent or Red Gate doesnt help either, because long term this needs to be automated if possible. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this, or is the answer simply, "Sorry mate, you need to get them to allow you to change the database to add new columns and/or triggers". :)
Finding Average
Apr 9, 2008Hi, I have two tables, Weekly and AverageEngTime. Weekly table has 14 columns, "Mon_Day,Mon_Night,Tue_day,....Sun_Night". AverageEngTime table has 15 columns, "Shifts,Mon_Day,Mon_Night,Tue_day,....Sun_Night". I have inserted "Average" as a value for column "Shifts" in AverageEngTime table. Now how do I find the average for each column in Weekly table and insert into AverageEngTime table in the respective columns, and in the row where Shifts = "Average".
I used the following codes to try but i receive errors at where statement.Please correct me. The expected output as below.
Shifts | Mon_day | Mon_Night | Tue_Day.....
Average | 5.2 | 10.2 | 15.2........
The codes that i tried..
declare @Weekday tinyint, @hour int
select @Weekday = datepart(dw,getdate()),@hour= datepart(hh,getdate())
if (@Weekday= 1 and (@hour>= 7 AND @hour<19))
begin
Insert Into AverageEngTime(Sat_Night) where Shifts = 'Average'
SELECT AVG(Sat_Night)
FROM Weekly
end
if ((@Weekday= 1 and @hour >= 19) OR (@Weekday = 2 and @hour < 7))
