Hits gets an insert whenever a link is clicked. (All this works just fine)
I'm trying to create a report that shows each link by its name and href, a counter and the last date each link was visited. What I currently have is an accurate listing for those that have been clicked on, but it does not show anything for links that haven't been clicked on. Any suggestions as to how I can modify the following SQL to return "0" and "never" (or DBNULL) if no entries are found in Hits that have the same id? Or do I have to do this in a couple queries?
SELECT COUNT(h.id) as counter, MAX(h.dateCreated) as lastVisited,
l.id as id, l.linkName as linkName, l.linkHref as linkHref
FROM Link as l INNER JOIN Hits as h ON l.id=h.moduleId
hi . would greatly appreciate a clever way to make an internal "counter" on an sql table that contains 6000 articles.(one in each row). these are being accessed from a web page and i would like to know which are the most read ones. so i thought of adding a column that would in some way count each time that the row is being accessed. is there a way for this to be done?? please be detailed since i am quite new to all this. thanks beforehands.
I am new to SQL database design.I am having a table name customerletter_master in which all details of customer letters are saved.At a time i.e in single second around 200- 400 entry are made in customerletter_master table. Hits to customerletter_master table are more.
Following fields are used in customerletter_master – CID (autogen number), letterno(primary key),consignee, consignor, letterstatus1, letterstatus2, letterstatus3, POD, and some more fields. When letter passes to different stages letterstatus1 is filled to yes and then letterstatus2 and letterstatus3 are filled according to passage of letter.
And at same time many user can accesses the customerletter_master table to search any letter according to letterno. Therefore customerletter_master is used to enter data and to search data at same time and there can be more than 200-400 users doing add and search records to and from customerletter_master
how should i design this table. What should i use to enter and search record and minimize the table hits made by the user at same time. Should i use store procedures or any other method to add and search record. Plz help me out by giving some example.
I need to to have a table that has a counter field (used to generate an id code for a record). This is not the primary id for the field but just a counter to label a record in another table, similar to a registration code for an event. This is a sequential counter that will start 1 and go up on each new record inserted into other tables. What I want to do is be able to query this counter table to get the next valid number and increment the count for the next time. This is a multi user web app so needs to prevent duplicate use of same number.How best should this be handled? A transaction to query and update the field?
I posted a thread in the Getting Started forum about how to make a counter for maximum tickets : http://forums.asp.net/t/1215258.aspx but maybe this is a more appropriate forum for this subject. In a school project, we are making a website for a fictional concert/festival (using Visual Studio 2005, C#). On that site users can register and order tickets. We have access to an SQL-database, by the way, where we can create tables etc. We want the maximum amount of tickets to be 10000 per day. The festival is supposed to last from friday to sunday. What would be the best way to do this programatically? The counter should maybe be in an own database table?
I know that TRUNCATE TABLE can be used to reset the identity counter, but it can't be used on a table referenced by a foreign key. Anybody knows how to do that? Thanks.
This routine works in most cases, but fails when a bad date is enteredsuch as:19910631 -- there is no June 31st.Instead of ignoring the bad date the entire DTS job fails. Obviouslythis is something that should be validated at data entry, butunfortunately the only control I have is when appending to the tablewith these data quirks.

Hi. This is my first attempt at a using stored procedures and I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to follow as many best practices as I can to improve speed, security and scalability. However, I can't find a solution to what I think should be a simple problem. I have a search page where users enter the criteria of properties they are interested in (bedrooms, price etc...). That takes them to a results page where the properties are displayed. The problem is that I want the amount of times each property has been shown on the results page to be tracked so the property owner gets statistics. The property details are all held in a single table along with the amount of times each property has be shown: Table Name: zk_Property_USA
ID INT
User_ID INT
Property_Type TINYINT
Market_Status TINYINT
Price INT
Bedrooms TINYINT
Address_State VARCHAR
Address_Location VARCHAR
Property_Description VARCHAR
Searched INT 0
Contacted INT 0 I'm trying to find a way to SELECT all the property details to be returned to my results page and UPDATE the "Searched" field by 1 without re-scanning the table for the UPDATE. Is there a way to update "Searched" at the time when the record is chosen to be a result? I am using SQL Server 2005 and Visual Basic ASP.NET 2.0. Many Thanks
In a Lookup component I've defined a SQL query which returns a sorted resultset. For each Lookup component input row I want to have a single output row. Problem is that for each input row there is possibility of multiple matches in SQL query resultset. From all of the possible multiple hits I want only the first one to be returned, and if no match is found then no output row. How to implement this?
Hello, i am making a Fulltextsearch on MS SQL Server 2005 (indexed, with "Contains"). Because of performance reasons i am only showing the first 200 rows mssql finds ("select top 200...:"). Is there any possibility to get the estimated totalnumber of all rows? i have heard something that is possible to get this in mssql-server. The server then estimates how many rows with that searchword could be in the whole database. google i.e. makes the same thing.... is that true? what do i have to do to get this? greetings and thx cpt.oneeye
I'd like to capture the avg. # of user logins and # db hits per a 5 interval for a weeks time. I'm guessing there are sys tables containing this info. and by using temporary tables and/or creating/modifying SPROCS this info. can be retrieved. If I'm on the right track, a little direction would be very appreciated. If I'm not on track, please assist this rookie dba.
I am serving ad-units. In each ad-unit I show somewhere between 3 and 10 article headline. I track the headline impressions to get an idea of the headline click through rate. I save the output from the stats process in another table. I am currently evaluating the stats every hour, and then truncating the table every night at midnight. The problem is that I get lots of impressions and the database gets bogged down evaluating the data such as... SELECT COUNT FROM articleimpressions WHERE articleid = x
But the issue isn't the reporting of the data...so much as it's the capture. I had to add caching on the ad-server because the database couldn't handle the number of inserts.
I thought about parsing the web server log files the next day, but the file sizes seem to be too large, and I can't process them all in one day. (At least not on the hardware that I am using.)
I've thought about splitting log files by hour, but was wondering if there may be a more "native" solution within SQL Server? Maybe a trigger, and/or multi-threaded SP that fires and forgets an insert statement to a linked server. But performance is the key here.
In MSSQL, is there a way to count the number of instances of asubstring within a string, so that I can sort by that?For example:table tst contains one column: tst_dataif tst_data = "the man with the plan"I'd want a function that counts the occurances of "the"count_substring(tst_data,'the') = 2Basically, I'm making a search engine and I'd like to put the mostrelavent hits at the top of the page.
I was curious to know if it the amount of data sent to the sql server mattered.
I am working on a web application and I have three stored procedures that most likely will be called one after the other. Each procedure accepts at least 4 parameters. Instead if I create one stored procedure, then I will be passing at least 12 parameters. Some of the parameters could be quite bulky(at least 1000 characters).
So which one is better, 1 stored procedure with 12 parameters or 3 stored procedures with 4 parameters each called one after the other.
I am trying to script a case when to achieve the following.
I have a table of measures with certain threshold. The threshold direction can either be > or < so I want to create a field that shows if the measure hits that threshold or not to be later picked up in SSRS. So a nested case when?
CASE WHEN M.[Threshold Direction] = '>' THEN CASE WHEN A.[Value] > M.[Threshold] THEN 'GREEN' CASE WHEN A.[Value] < M.[Threshold] THEN 'RED' ELSE '' END END END AS 'Condition'Is this at all possible?
I have a large table that I recently purged a year of data from.However, the table size in sp_spaceused hasn't decreased as much as Iwould expect. (there are no text or large object columns on thistable, BTW) Running sp_spaceused on the table shows the following.rows reserved data index size unusedTABLE_NAME23470880 67790808 KB 18116312 KB 3211616 KB 46462880 KBI ran a dbcc indexdefrag on all indexes on the table last night,including the clustered index, and I'm still seeing pretty much thesame amount of space reported as unused.The one thing that I haven't done yet is to run the sp_spaceused onthis table with the @updateusage flag set to true as I need to do thisafterhours to reduce contention.

Do youthink that it's just a matter of incorrect statistics in sp_spaceused?Thanks in advance:Matt
we are currently migrating from a system we use to a similar product from a different company. Before we start using the new product, we need to migrate the data from the old server to the new one. This is fine, but obviously the column names, table names, and data types are all different. What the old server does have on it, is SSRS. We have configured a few reports to extract the data and present it in table format with the column names in the right order and with the right names.
The question is, is there an easy way to import these into a database without downloading each report as a csv and importing them one by one. Not only is this tedious due to the large amount of tables, but when using this method, I get all sorts of errors where the data type conversion has failed.
I would like to loop through a SQL Server table that contains the paths to all the reports we need to run and then execute the reports via SSIS. What task should I be doing to do this? Will the For Loop work for something like this?
Columns are obviously fixed, but not rows. I want to show this data using lables and SqlDataReader for report purpose like; Label1.text=dr("value16").toString( ) Label2.text=dr("value28").toString( ) Label3.text=dr("value31").toString( ) etc
Do you have any idea how i can do it or am I approaching it in the wrong way????
I have a report that calls a stored procedure that creates an extract of data for use by various subreports. Now I have this problem:
If I save the extract data in a global temporary table, then it is automatically deleted before the subreports can use it, this means I have to create a normal table with a unique name that need to be deleted - but where do you do this in the report - there is no point where you can say it is now safe to delete a table?
I do not want to resort to external mechanisms, languages, jobs etc. to do this. I want to delete the table once the report is really finished in the report.
My main report uses a list that contains all the subreports as I need to group all sorts of information by vendor. The main report calls the stored procedure. Please do not tell me that I have to duplicate the main extract for every subreport. That will really eat resources.
Hi I'm using a gridview to show a list of high scores in a c#.net page. The position of the score is not stored in the database, just the score, name and id. In the gridview however I would like to indicate the position of the scores, the SQL statement sorts the records by ascending scores so the are already in the correct order. Does anybody know how to include a counter in the SQL statement that I can refer to vai the gridview so that it is able to display it as the position? Thanks in advance for any help!
# 1 - You want a Multipage Hit Counter to keep track of the number of Hits each individual webpage gets in your website. # 2 - You also want to store the Webpage Hit Count Values into a SQL Database, using Stored Procedures.
Dim objCon As New SQLConnection("server=yourServerName;User id=idName;password=yourPassword;database=HitsCounter")
Dim cmd As SQLCommand = New SQLCommand("EXEC dbo.webcounter1", objCon)
objCon.Open()
Dim r as SQLDataReader
r = cmd.ExecuteReader()
r.read()
strcounter3.text = "Hits : " & r.item(0)
end sub
</script>
Also insert the following inside the body tags of webpage #1 <asp:Label id="strcounter3" font-size="X-Large" font-bold="True" bordercolor="Silver" width="300px" borderstyle="Inset" forecolor="Lime" visible="True" runat="server"></asp:Label>
Marked in Red webcounter1 is the Stored Procedures Name. ALso marked in<B> Red counter3 is the name of the Database. This is where you would make your changes inside the Webpages.
Use the following Stored Procedure with Webpage #1
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.webcounter1 WITH RECOMPILE AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @hits INT SELECT Hit FROM counter3 WHERE ID = 1 update counter3 set hit = hit + 1 EXEC sp_recompile counter3 END GO
The Database Table has 2 columns which consists of an ---ID & Hit Column -- The Table Name is (counter3) The best way to explain is by showing so posted below are Webpages 1 & 2 along with there Stored Procedures.
Dim objCon As New SQLConnection("server=yourServerName;User id=idName;password=yourPassword;database=HitsCounter")
Dim cmd As SQLCommand = New SQLCommand("EXEC dbo.webcounter2", objCon)
objCon.Open()
Dim r as SQLDataReader
r = cmd.ExecuteReader()
r.read()
strcounter3.text = "Hits : " & r.item(0)
end sub
</script>
Also insert the following inside the body tags of webpage #2 <asp:Label id="strcounter3" font-size="X-Large" font-bold="True" bordercolor="Silver" width="300px" borderstyle="Inset" forecolor="Lime" visible="True" runat="server"></asp:Label>
Use the following Stored Procedure with Webpage #2
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.webcounter2 WITH RECOMPILE AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @hits INT SELECT Hit FROM counter3 WHERE ID = 2 update counter3 set hit = hit + 1 EXEC sp_recompile counter3 END GO
Now this type of Hit Counter works fine to a point. Visiting Webpage #1 accumilates 1 Hit & Visiting Webpage #2 Accumilates 2 Hits. And each time there 's a revisit to these pages they acquire 2 Hits each. I'm Guessing the problem is in the Stored Procedure storing there values in Memory. If Someone can Help Figure Out how to fix this. This could be a nice Website Multipage Hit Counter. I can use some help Guys feel free to advise.
I'm trying to write a select that returns a result set with a counter added on. I want to do it without using an identity column or cursor. Something along the lines of select col1, max(col2)+1 from tab1. I get (as expected)
The sqlserv.exe takes too much CPU utilization on my SQL 2000 on W2K production machine. I am tring to use System Monitor to monitor the Thread/%process time with all Sqlservr instances, and then match the sqlservr instance number to the KPID in sysprocesses table to find out which user is causing the problem. but I can only see the instance number from Sqlservr0 to sqlservr99. From the table sysprocesses table, the KPID is all 3 or 4 digits number. Any one has any idea about this?
I am looking to create a incremental value based on the resulting insert that I am using. There already is another field being used as an identity field. I have a beginning value that I just want to add the row number to for the insert.
insert into lineitem select substring(group_id,4,len(ltrim(rtrim(group_id)))-3) as co_code, 0,0,(case when enddate < cast(month(getdate()) as varchar(10))+cast(day(getdate()) as varchar(10)) then 'Prior' else 'Current' end ), left(acct_type,2) as bene_type, convert(smalldatetime,left(ltrim(rtrim(eff_date)), 8)), 0,trans_amt,0,0,convert(smalldatetime,left(ltrim(r trim(sett_date)),8)), ltrim(rtrim(b.fname)) + ' ' + ltrim(rtrim(b.lname)) as payee,0,0,a.ssn,'Y',999+count(*), (case when isnull(b.location,'') = '' then '' else b.location end) as location from mbi_tran_temp a left join enrollees b on a.ssn = b.ssn and ltrim(rtrim(a.group_id)) = ltrim(rtrim(b.mbicode))
The '999+count(*)' is where I would like to have the incremental value.
It sound like a simple task to perform but I just can't seem to get it. I've built a search function on the site and after each search request, a log is kept of the search word and the date, so the table looks a little like this:
My client wants IN_PUNCH to be the first in punch of the day and the OUT_PUNCH to be the last out punch of the day based on the TransactionDate as it is showing in the desired results table for 07/29 and 07/30 (Changes are highlighted in Bold).
I tried using MIN and MAX at different areas but to no avail.Also, is there a way to add a counter at the end of each row so in case if there were two shifts in a day then it be a '1' for row 1 and a '2' for row 2?
WITH SampleData (PERSON,TRANSACTDATE, STARTDATE, END_DATE, IN_PUNCH,OUT_PUNCH,HOURS,PAYCODE,SHIFT_LABEL,DOW) AS ( SELECT 1234,'07/27/2015','07/27/2015','07/27/2015', '12:00','12:00','8', 'Hol', 'NULL', 'Monday' UNION ALL SELECT 1234,'07/28/2015','07/28/2015','07/28/2015', '08:00','','4.00', 'Absent', 'Batax 1st','Tuesday' UNION ALL SELECT 1234,'07/28/2015','07/28/2015','07/28/2015', '12:15','14:00','3.75', 'Regular', 'Batax 1st','Tuesday' UNION ALL
I need to count the days (24 hours)from the (GETDATE()),returning an integer in a table column, automatically, all the time , under the scene until after a specified number of days (usually 20 for example), the relevant table row is be automatically deleted, replaced by another insert (row) to start again and the process repeated many times.
I have a database which works automatically. The data need not to be queried or manipulated until the row is deleted automatically. I use SQL Server 2000.
Any ideas of doing this in a simple way ? Regards and thanks in advance.Yves.
