How Do I Make Sure Only One Record Is The Current Issue?
Jun 22, 2007
I have a table of magazine issues. The table are defined as below:
issueID int Unchecked
name varchar(50) Unchecked
title varchar(100) Checked
description varchar(500) Checked
crntIssue bit Checked
archived bit Checked
navOrder int Checked
dateCreate datetime Checked
And here is what I want. Is there a way when inserting/updating or on the table itself to make sure that there is only one record that is marked as the current issue? The way I have it here in my table, any records can have the current issue (crntIssue) field checked. I only want one crntIssue field checked regardless of how many records or issues are in the table. If there is no way to automatically have SQL Server to manage that then that means I must check all the records before hand before the update/insert query, correct?
I have a table full of items that have a "date_updated" field. I'd like this field to be set to GETDATE() whenever a record is updated. I've got this trigger:
CREATE trigger tr_cp_shiptos_u on dbo.cp_shiptos for update as update cp_shiptos set date_updated = GETDATE()
Problem is, of course, there's no WHERE clause..yet. I don't know how to refer to the record that was updated.... for example:
CREATE trigger tr_cp_shiptos_u on dbo.cp_shiptos for update as update cp_shiptos set date_updated = GETDATE() where shipto_id = @THIS_ID
I imagine there's some kind of builtin variable or something like that. How is this done?
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.
Hey Forum, Below is a solution for passing a previous value (Height) to the current record in a view using two related tables (Plant= ID PK and plantHeight = ID FK) However, I was wondering how I could also do the reverse, that is, pass a next value to the current record.
I have an SSIS package (SQL Server 2005) that gathers statistics (ie total records created, items created, items shipped, etc). I have made a UNION query to get the data (because it has to look at different date fields) that returns the following results: ID QTY Created 20 Shipped 30 Received 35
What I what to do is store this data as 1 record like this: Date Qty_Created Qty_Shipped Qty_Received 11/20/2007 20 30 35
Hi every one I want to get the currently entered or updated record in the database table by using SQL Query or stored procedure. Thanx in advance Take care Bye
I'm a bit new to MS-SQL so i thought maybe you could help me.
This is my prob. I have an Access application that i have upsized to a MS-SQL server. I have a query based on 3 tables: Customers, Companys and Payreminders. When i run this query, i can't add new records or make any changes. If i only run the query with the tables: companys and payreminders i can add new records and edit them. If i run a query that's based on companys and customers, i can edit and add new records, but when i run the query based on companys and customers i can't add or edit records.
companys, payreminders: Editable payreminders, companys: Editable Companys, customers: Non editable Companys, payreminders, customers: Non editable
Something must go wrong when i use the companys and customers table. Can anybody help or give a suggestion what to do.

Well, I really messed up. Instead of changing the name of a current company record in a table I changed ALL the company names in the table. Me.CustomerDataSource.SelectCommand = "UPDATE tbl_customers SET company = '" & companyTextBox.Text & "'" So, I need to insert a WHERE clause to fix this. My problem is that I've been searching everywhere for this simple command structure and cannot find anything that specifically addresses a simple way to reference the current record. I tried...Me.CustomerDataSource.SelectCommand = "UPDATE tbl_customers SET company = '" & companyTextBox.Text & "' WHERE recno = @recno" But I get the error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the scalar variable "@recno". Can anyone provide this simple query clause?
How can we write a query to achieve this while keeping in mind:
- We do not want to do unnecessary record lookups and Updates - We only update records that corresponds to new entries. For example, we should not touch the record for InvoiceID = 2 in the above example
My current code returns account_number with multiple start_date regardless of the value is same or not. However, I would like to get only the account number when the value on start_date is different within same account_number.
select acct_number count(start_date) from table_A group by acct_number, start_date having(count(start_date) > 1)
HI if I have a recrod in a plain text file , and it has some colums information including FromDate and ThruDates if the date range is over 30 days, Then the record should split and becomes 2 records rather then one.
for example: if i have MemberID=255 FromDate 07/01/06 and ThruDate = 08/25/06
than that single record should be saved as two records
Well the file is a fixed length file. On a web page. Page is uploaded. when the fixed length file is uploaded it converted into the xml file. After the xml file goes through the validation, it gets ready for the database. Each field in the fixed length file was a xml node and sent to the database.
Now what I have to check from the sqlManagement studio. Insert a query with the test query as I decribed earlier, and instead of it get to the database it should be splited into two record instead of one and get in the database table. And if dates are in between 30 days, then the recrod go into table with out any other issue.
I have a table where I need to set some rows to Read only (to protect the rows from being edited). Can I do this with a trigger checking against a column (where dataReadOnly = 1)?
Do anybody know how can I find or display to the current SQL server 2005 record number (eg. 10 of 1600) on a VB 2005 form label. The BindingNavigator on the form has been deleted. Thanks.
Hello...i have a table that record all the reading meter....so when i change one of the reader meter data...in logical it will automatically change the normalized fields...
Reading teble ------------------- -id[PK] -meter -normalized -date when i insert new record..i just insert data about date and meter...an normalized is automated calculate using my function..the problem is..when i have data more than one...when i try insert or update or delete data...it nee to be automatically calculate back the normalized..i know this is needed the temperory table and then reinsert back..how can i solve this problem???
Approximately once a month, a client of ours sends us a bunch ofcomma-delimited text files which I have to clean up and then importinto their MS SQL database. All last week, I was using a Cold Fusionscript to upload the cleaned up files and then import the records theycontained into the database, though obviously, the process tookfriggin' forever, and could have been done 500x quicker had I done itdirectly on the server. My SQL knowledge is somewhat limited, however,so I had no choice but to stick to what I know, which is Cold Fusionprogramming.In the process of cleaning up some of these comma-delimited text files,I inadvertently messed up some of the 10-digit zip codes, by applyingthe wrong Excel formula to the ZIP columns. These records were importedinto the database with obviously incorrect zip codes (ie: singledigit). So now, I have to find the best and quickest way possible tocompare these records in the database (that have the single digit zipcodes) with the unmodified data, and to update the zip codes with thecorrect data.I've had no luck setting up a TEXT file as an ODBC datasource, -- soI've ruled that out completely. I've also managed to import theunmodified data into an Access database, and to set it up as a ColdFusion datasource. But it seems this 2nd road I've been traveling downis not the ideal approach either.My question is, -- assuming that I'll be able to import the recordsfrom the Access database into their own table on the SQL server, -- howshould I go about the process of updating these records that have theincorrect zip codes?Here is the specific logic I would need to employ:* Here is a list of records, each of which contains an incorrect1-digit zip code (Database A / Table A)* Here is a much longer list of records (which contains all of therecords from Database A / Table A + thousands more), each of whichcontains a correct 5-digit zip code (Database B / Table B)* Compare both lists of records and run the following query/update:When a record in Database A / Table A has matching "name", "address1",and "address2" values as a record in Database B / Table B -- update therecord in Database B / Table B with the zip code from the matchingrecord in Database A / Table A.Would anyone care to write a sample query for me that I could rundirectly on the SQL server, or at least give me some pointers?The specific field names are as follows:name,address1,address2,city,state,zipThanks in advance!- yvan
I like to give First Name and Last Name in two different text box and then hit the delete button (command button). Then it will do a query to find the person and delete the corresponding record from the table. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I've this query SELECT t1.ID, t1.Date, t1.Time, t1.VALUE FROM RESULT WHERE t1.Date>=CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(d,-7,GETDATE()),101) AND t1.Date<CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101)
Let's say, current date is 8 AUG 2005 and current time is 2045 So, i will get ID | Date (this is datetime) | Time (this is integer) | Value -------------------------------------------------- 204 | 8/1/2005| 2359 | 90 205 | 8/1/2005| 2250 | 99 206 | 8/1/2005| 1950 | 88 ... ... 207 | 8/7/2005| 1845 | 77 208 | 8/7/2005| 2255 | 77 209 | 8/7/2005| 2140 | 77
Can someone can show me to filter data between t1.Date>=CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(d,-7,GETDATE()),101) AND TIME>=CurrentTime t1.Date<CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AND TIME<=CurrentTime
If current date is 8 AUG 2005 and current time is 2045, so the result shown as follow
ID | Date (this is datetime) | Time (this is integer) | Value -------------------------------------------------- 204 | 8/1/2005| 2359 | 90 205 | 8/1/2005| 2250 | 99 ... ... 207 | 8/7/2005| 1845 | 77
I only have this query, SELECT t1.ID, t1.Date, t1.Time, t1.VALUE FROM RESULT WHERE t1.Date>=CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(d,-7,GETDATE()),101) AND t1.Date<CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101)
I'm making some sort of application where people can add their resume. They also need something to add places where they have worked or currently are working.
I have a form where they can add this and i add this experience using the following stored procedure:
GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO create procedure [dbo].[sp_Insert_Experience] @ExperienceId uniqueidentifier, @ExperienceEmployee nvarchar(100), @ExperienceFrom datetime, @ExperienceUntil datetime, @ExperienceQualifications nvarchar(250), @ExperienceTechnologies nvarchar(250), @ExperienceTasks nvarchar(250) as insert into Experiences values(@ExperienceId,@ExperienceEmployee,@ExperienceFrom,@ExperienceUntil,@ExperienceQualifications, @ExperienceTechnologies,@ExperienceTasks);
It must be possible to add the place where they currently are working. Then the ExperienceUntil has to be something like still going on. Then I decided that the user then had to set the current date.
But what I want is the following, I want that the ExperienceUntil keeps updating automatically, like everytime i get that record, it has to have current date.
Is this possible ?
But if the ExperienceUntil isn't the current date , it just had to take the supplied parameter date.

Hi I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks, Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful: http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.
I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.
does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
Can anyone advise me as to how I can add the date and time to 2 columns in the sql server database for each record that is added. I'd prefer not to use the webform. Can sql server add the date automatically to the row? thanks
Is that possible to restrict inserting the record if record already exist in the table.
Scenario: query should be
We are inserting a bulk information of data, it should not insert the row if it already exist in the table. excluding that it should insert the other rows.
Hi All,I have a table in SQL Server 2000 that contains several million memberids. Some of these member ids are duplicated in the table, and eachrecord is tagged with a 1 or a 2 in [recsrc] to indicate where theycame from.I want to remove all member ids records from the table that have arecsrc of 1 where the same member id also exists in the table with arecsrc of 2.So, if the member id has a recsrc of 1, and no other record exists inthe table with the same member id and a recsrc of 2, I want it leftuntouched.So, in a theortetical dataset of member id and recsrc:0001, 10002, 20001, 20003, 10004, 2I am looking to only delete the first record, because it has a recsrcof 1 and there is another record in the table with the same member idand a recsrc of 2.I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me achieve this!Much warmth,Murray

I need to return: -[Album_Category].[AlbumCategoryID] -[Album_Category].[Caption] -[Albums].[Single AlubmID for each AlbumCategoryID] -[Count of Albums in each AlbumCategory]
I hope I was fairly clear in what I'm trying to do. Any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a directory of user information. What I would like to do isallow someone to search for person X and then return not only theinformation for person X, but also the information for the next 15people following person X sorted alphabetically by lastname.So if someone searched for the lastname = "Samson", it would return:Samson, JohnSaxton, GregScott, HeatherSears, Rebecca.... (15 names following "Samson) ...How do you in SQL return a record set of X records starting atparticular record (e.g. lastname = "Smith)?Thanks in advance.
Hello. I have a database with a record that has two columns locked. descrip1 and descrip2. they are both nvarchar(max) columns. These are the only two columns of the record that remain locked. I am certain no user is accessing the record. I have even moved a backup of the database to my testing computer and the lock still exists. How do I remove the lock from these two columns on that particular record.
I can edit these two columns on other records. I have researched "Unlock" on MSDN but it doesn't seem to apply to t-sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
