Flag Random Record

Mar 31, 2006

I am using this select statement to radomly display a record

SelectCommand="SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [TBL_Example] ORDER BY NEWID()

I need to, however, flag this record, to determine if it has already been previously randomly selected, and won't take part in future random selections.

I will need to add a where clause to the above, but what I am unsure of is what I should do for the insert statement. I guess I could figure this out on my own as well if I could determine a means to prgramatically store my PK from the above record in session.

Any ideas?

Manipulate The 'deleted Record' Flag On DBF Files

May 7, 2007

Hi,

I am using OLE DB provider for Foxpro (VFPOLEDB.1) to query DBF files. I need to migrate the content of these files to a SQL Server 2005 database.

These DBF files have some (actually a lot) records marked as deleted using the DBF 'deleted' flag. When I submit a SELECT command to the OLE DB Provider, it returns me all the non-deleted records from the file.

It is very Ok as long as the 'deleted' rows actually have no more business value, but in my case, I need to do some processing on them, and even to migrate their data.

What are the options available for me to be able to query and differentiate the 'deleted' records ?

Thank you in advance,

Bertrand Larsy

Random Record With TOP Parameter

Apr 19, 2004

I'm familiar with querying for a random record, however I can't seem to do it using a parameter driven TOP value.

Here's what I've tried in a stored procedure:
(
@Count int = 1
)
declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT TOP ' + convert(varchar, @Count) + ' * FROM RandomisedView'

The view I am using looks like:

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TableName.* ORDER BY NEWID()

The stored procedure does not seem to cause the View to reorder the records.

I need to be able to select X random records. Any help would be appriciated.

Un-flag Reinitialization Flag On Trans Subscription

Nov 21, 2004

Here's my predicament. I changed the filter on an article within a subscription, but not in a meaningful way. I just added "database.dbo." before a column name, but now my subscription is flagged for reinitialization, and won't replicate any transactions unless I start over with a new snapshot. I don't want that to happen. How can I reset the article properties somewhere to get it back the way it was and continue replicating transactions.

(I needed to add "database.dbo" so that another job that looks at the filter info would point to the correct database. Next time maybe I'll just modify the table that stores the filter info)

The reason I don't want to snapshot from the beginning is that I have procedures on the subscribing server that fire triggers from the transactions, so all the jobs "downstream" would get all out of sync.

HELP !

SELECTing Random Record From TABLE?

Apr 24, 2001

Hello.
I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number.
So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc...
If any one have any ideas please respond.
Thanks in advance.

Returning Random Records And NOT Similar (random Questions)

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

Triggers And Flag Bit

Mar 24, 2008

I have a perl script (uses sql query) that will run if there is anyupdate in the row. Currently, I am a trigger that sets the DateModifiedfield with getdate() Then my perl script looks for certain range ofmodified dates and runs the necessary query.I am trying to come up with a different mechanism where I don't have touse the date field. I am looking into flag bits. But not sure howto use it.Should I create a trigger that will set the flag bit after any update?This way the script will just look for the updated records, regardlessof what time it was updated. Maybe I am misunderstanding flag bits, thenafter another subsequent update how would the perl/sql script know whichrecords were updated? I hope this make sense.thanks.--s

Regressor Flag

Oct 10, 2006

I am trying to build a decision tree algorithm with multiple regressors. I am having trouble changing the properties for the input variables to regressors (the only multiple flag choice is "not null"). I created a mining model using the DMX query thinking I could change the code to include multiple regressors, however I get a syntax error when trying to execute the model. Also, I am wondering if you can view the dmx code for a model built using the mining wizard.

My query is as follows:

CREATE MINING MODEL BVRSlotq1052

(Machine Long Key,

[Banksize] LONG CONTINUOUS REGRESSOR ,

[Cabinet] Text Discrete,

Getting Records Where Flag='Y' Or If No Y Then N

Feb 28, 2008

If you have a table with columns like Category int, Cost money, EffectiveDate DateTime, SpecialFlag (char Y or N) how would you write a query to get for each category, get the most recent, with a specialFlag of Y if a Y record exists and if not, grab the N record?

I have tried using the exists clause for the flag, but as soon as I mix in the group by to get the latest effectivedate, the max is evaluated first and I am not guaranteed to use the Y records if they exist.

To illustrate:
A 1, $10, 1/1/2007 Y
B 1, $12, 1/1/2007 N
C 2, $5, 6/7/2007 N
D 2, $4, 1/1/2007 N
E 3, $1, 1/1/2007 Y
F 3, $2, 6/7/2007 Y
G 3, $3, 2/1/2008 N

I want records A because it is flagged Y, C because it is the most recent and there is no Y record and F because it is flagged and most recent.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Add A Flag When Certain Conditions Are Met?

Aug 27, 2015

I have a table where when an employee works LEAVE1 and LEAVE2 paycodes on the same day then in the new column called 'FLAG' we need to put a 1 for LEAVE1 and a 2 for LEAVE2, when these paycodes are not there on the same day then flag will be NULL as for other paycodes.

Tried using the CASE statements but it always puts a 1 or 2 for the respective paycodes regardless of the fact whether they were together on the same day or not.

Setting A Failure Flag

Mar 13, 2008

I created a package wide OnError event handler with the following script:

Imports System

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Math

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Public Class ScriptMain

' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.

' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,

' and logging features are available as static members of the Dts class.

' Before returning from this method, set the value of Dts.TaskResult to indicate success or failure.

'

' To open Code and Text Editor Help, press F1.

' To open Object Browser, press Ctrl+Alt+J.

Public Sub Main()

'

Dts.Variables("FailureFlag").Value = True

'

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

End Sub

End Class

I ran the package with an error and set a break on error condition. When I looked at the value of "FailureFlag" it was False. Any ideas why it is not being set?

I have a post execute event that is supposed to rollback from a snapshot on failure and it is not doing so on failure so I'm trying to figure out what's wrong.
