I have an OLAP database which is required to update daily. First of all back track a bit about this OLAP database, It is built from an OLAP data source consists of a dozen "Dimension" tables and half a dozen "Fact" tables and they are set up in a normalized relationship. This 20 or so OLAP tables are created from a single "Production" data warehouse de-normalized table. By the way the database engine, SSAS, SSRS and SSIS are installed in one virtual server using Sql 2005 SP2.
Here are the steps I update the OLAP database manually.
At Sql database engine
Drop the existing data warehouse table at the virtual server
Copy the up-todate data warehouse table from a remote server and paste to the database at the virtual server
Drop all the OLAP Fact tables
Drop all the OLAP Dimension tables
Create the Dimension Tables using the Sql script I saved when first created
Create the Fact Tables using the Sql script I saved when first created
Populate the data to the Dimension Tables from the data warehouse table using the Sql script I saved when first created
Populate the data to the Fact tables from the data warehouse table using the Sql script I saved when first created
Assign indexs and constrains to the Dimension Tables
Assign indexs and constrains to the Fact Tables
At Sql Server Analysis Services
Process the 15 Dimensions
Process the 2 OLAP cube
I want to automate the whole process using SSIS. I am new to SSIS and I need some direction on how to make it work?
Hi, I have a query thatI need to make into one query for the sake of an application reading only one cursor.
Here's the syntax: select (select distinct(x.amount) from escrow k inner join e120 x on k.escrow = x.escrowinner join a10 g on x.escrow = g.escrow where k.ftype = 'S' group by x.amount, g.officer) As New,a.officer as Officer, count(distinct(j.fstatus))as Escrow_Type, count(distinct(j.amount))as Amount, count(distinct(d.open_date))as [Open], count(distinct(d.close_date)) as Closed, count(distinct(can_date))as Cancelled from a10 a inner join escrow d on a.escrow = d.escrowinner join e120 j on j.escrow = d.escrow where j.id_scr = 'e21' and j.fstatus = 'PAID' group by a.officer
The error message i'm recieving is the following:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
I have a scenario whereby I'd like to insert multiple rows into a table on a SQL server database as efficiently and easily as possible. After some research, it looked like .NET 3.0's SqlBulkCopy class would do what I want. I've tried to set something up, but it's not working. It's not even throwing an error. The code executes but it simply hasn't done the insert by the end of it! My table structure is simple. The name of the table is LPSTUnavailableDate. It has just two columns, one of them an auto-populated ID field:
I am currently stuck on how to make this 2 separate query work together, both work as i want them to individually, please note the syntax is according to a application i use that uses mysql to manipulate columns in an imported csv file.
CONCAT('at-', REPLACE([CSV_COL(18)],'http://www.homebuy.co.uk/product.php/','') ) removes last character i.e. / SUBSTRING([CSV_COL(18)], 1, CHAR_LENGTH([CSV_COL(18)]) - 1)
basically i need these 2 to work together to give me an output like this
at-09fd8903
from the this. URL...url above minus the "" as i said both work on there own, but not together.
Hi - I'm in a situation with a very large table, and trying to run an update that, any way I've approached it so far, seems to be taking unnacceptably long to run. Table has about 20 million rows, looks something like this:
ID - int, identity Type - varchar(50) PurchaseNumber - varchar(50) SalesAmount - Money
ID Type PurchaseNumber SalesAmount 1 A 3834AA38384 20.32$ 2 B 3834AA38384 11837.32$ 3 C 3834AA38384 666.32$ 4 C 887DF88U01H 23423.32$ 5 A 887DF88U01H 12.32$ 6 B OI83999FH28 4747.1$ 7 D 38438495985 9384.6 8 E 02939DDJJWI 22.22$ 9 F 07939SDFDF2 33.33$
The goal of the update is to make the [Type] uniform across [PurchaseNumbers], according to the max sales amount. For each PurchaseNumber a, set the type = the type of the row that has the MAX salesAmount. If there is only one entry for PurchaseNumber, leave the type alone. Expected update after completion would look like this:
ID Type PurchaseNumber SalesAmount 1 B 3834AA38384 20.32$ 2 B 3834AA38384 11837.32$ 3 B 3834AA38384 666.32$ 4 C 887DF88U01H 23423.32$ 5 C 887DF88U01H 12.32$ 6 B OI83999FH28 4747.1$ 7 D 38438495985 9384.6 8 E 02939DDJJWI 22.22$ 9 F 07939SDFDF2 33.33$
I got this out of a warehouse, and it definitely isn't normalized well. Was considering breaking down into a better model, but I'm not yet sure if that would make the update easier.
I've been approaching this with sub-queries (finding all the PurchaseNumbers with more then one entry, then the max sales purchase of that purchase Number, then the type of that purchase number and sales amount to update all of that purchase number) but this not only ends up a little messy, but also very slow.
The only other detail that may be important is that out of the 20 million total rows, about 19.5 million purchaseNumbers are unique. So, really, there are only about 500k rows I actually have to update.
I've thought of a few ways to make this work, but none of them seem fast and wanted to see if anyone had a pointer. Thanks!
Hello, I have what should be a very simple problem, but I cant solve it. I want to have a stored procedure return a table query (no problems here) but I also need to supply several parameters to the stored procedure (again, no problem!)
Here is the problem, I need to be able to supply a wildcard into the stored procedure as an argument somehow. I can do this already, but the results are incorrect!!! It seems like when local variables are used, the wildcard argument gets ignored. for example, I have included the following example:
DECLARE @Dv_id nchar(15)
SET @Drv_id = '%'
SELECT Diver.*, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Dv_id)) as RowNum FROM Diver WHERE Dv_id LIKE @Dv_id
SELECT Diver.*, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Dv_id)) as RowNum FROM Diver WHERE Dv_id LIKE '%'
OK, this is an example of my problem, the results I get from this are that the fist SELECT return 0 rows. The second SELECT returns the correct number of rows (everything in the table). Why is there a difference between: WHERE Drv_id LIKE @Drv_id and WHERE Drv_id LIKE '%' ? The wildcard statement '%' is supposed match everything, correct?? It seems like the local variable SET command syntax eats up my value of '%' and turns it into a NULL.
Good Morning, I've been searching through all the tutorials and questions, have tried many things. I am still getting "[SqlException (0x80131904): An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.

Our company has its Departments And Services. Now We are making it online. Both have separate email list, phone numbers, and more. Will I make one table and adds the field Type (Values: D or S). Or make them separate. Remember one thing If we merge them then Email And PhoneNumber Table will also me merge other wise they will also separate. What is better.

Hi guys, I have a car_race table which has these fields
car_id int race_id int b_car_won varchar // can have 'y' or 'n'
I need to know if the car lost the 1st race but won the next race
And example of that table for car_id 1:
car_id 1 race_id 1 b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1 race_id 2 b_car_won 'YES'
Now this is the tricky part, the database has some data integrity issues, so this can occur:
car_id 1 race_id 1 b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1 race_id 3 b_car_won 'YES'
So I cant used a fixed race_id value, need to use the race_id > 1 to know whats the next race. But this raises another issue if I have this in the database:
car_id 1 race_id 1 b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1 race_id 3 b_car_won 'YES'
car_id 1 race_id 4 b_car_won 'YES'
If I query I'd get 2 rows where race_id > 1. And I only need the first one, because 3 is the next race.
I need to fetch in a single row if possible, the result of the 1st race and the 2nd race. How can I do this?
table users have a clustered (PK) index on userid table pictures have a clustered (PK) index on userid
when I do this query:
"select userid from pictures where userid=123"
then It will do a clustered index seek
But If I do any of those:
"select t2.userid from users t1 left join t2 on t1.userid = t2.userid" or "select (select userid from pictures where usedid = t1.userid) from users t1"
It will do a clustered index scan.
How can I force it to seek my index instead of scan?

I need to restore a copy of database to a new db name
i'm trying by creating a new db and restoring by doing

Is there a way to avoid that. I mean after I execute part1 @str will be kept in memory, and I can execut q2 without a problem? (like in SAS) Thank
