How To Walk Through All The Columns Of Two Different Table
May 21, 2012I am two table. They are backup of each other. I would like to find out what the columns of a row that need to be sync.
For example
Record with ID = 2345, Update Name (From, to) (IreneLee, Irene)
Record with ID = 2345, Update Birthday (From, to) (1975-04-24 , 1975-04-24 )
Record with ID = 4568, Update Name (From, to) (VictorChu, Victor)
I use this statement
with cte1 As
(
Select T1.ID As 'ID',
T1.Name As 'T1Name',
T2.Name As 'T2Name',
T1.Birthday As 'T1Birthday' ,
T2.Birthday As 'T2Birthday'
from T1 inner join T2 on T1.ID = T2.ID
)
Select * from cte1
(eventually I have to programatically generate the above statement)
Below is the result:
ID T1.Name T2.Name T1.Birthday T2.Birthday
--------------------------------------------------------------
1234 Richard Richard 1971-02-09 1971-02-09
2345 IreneLee Irene 1975-04-24 1975-04-24
3456 Danny Danny 1962-09-08 1962-09-08
4568 VictorChu Victor 1962-09-08 1962-09-08
And I use the below script
DECLARE @tableName varchar(max)
Set @tableName= 'T1'
Select column_name From
(
SELECT column_name
[Code] .....
I need to find out what is different between each similar column (e.g. T1.Name and T2.Name) for each row It looks like I need two loop.
This is what the logic I think I need.
For (row in Rows for JoinTable) {
For(column in Columns for ColumnTable) {
if ('T1'.column <> 'T2'.column) {
Insert ('T1.ID' , 'Update T2. ' + column name, 'T1'.column, 'T2'.column)
into #ChangesTable
} } }

How Do I Write A Point-in-time Record To Another Table?
Jul 23, 2005I'm writing a classic ASP application that records all logging of userlogins on our support site. The logging is a rolling window of how manypeople have logged in for a given month, i.e. tracked by a 'lastlogin'field so the tracking is done in a date range. So, for the month ofJanuary I would record lastlogin dates between January 1 and January31. My question is this...on the last day of the month (example beingJanauary)at 23:59:59PM I want to write the total number of users thathad a lastlogin date within the month of January and write that totalnumber to another table so I have a point-in-time figure for Januarylogins and how many users logged in in the month of January. How do Ido that? How can I have the sql server dynamically check the last dayof each month at 23:59:59PM and then run that query to obtain the totalnumbers users that logged in and then record that value to anothertable?? Do I use a SQL Job to do that?Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It Takes A Long Time To Insert The First Record Each Time When The Program Start
Dec 15, 2006I am using VS2005 (VB) to develop a PPC WM5.0 Program. And I am using SQLCE 3.0. My PPC Hardware is in 400MHz.
The question is when the program try to insert the first record into sdf database after each time the program started. It takes a long time. Does anyone know why and how can I fix it?
I will load the whole database into a dataset when the program start and do all the "Insert", "Update", "Delete" in this dataset and fill it into database after each action.
cn.Open()
sda = New SqlCeDataAdapter(SQL, cn) 'SQL = Select * From Table
scb = New SqlCeCommandBuilder(sda)
sda.Update(dataset)
cn.Close()
I check the sda.update(), it takes about 0.08s for filling one record into database normally. But:
1. Start the PPC Program
2. Load DB into dataset
3. Create a ONE new record in dataset
4. Fill back to DB
When I take this four steps everytime, the filling time is almost 1s or even more!
Actually, 0.08s is just a normal case. Sometimes, it still takes over 1s to filling back a dataset which only inserted one record when the program is running. (Even all inserted records are exactly the same in data jsut different in the integer key)
However, when I give up the dataset and using the following code:
cn.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(SQL, cn) ' I have build the insert SQL before (Insert Into Table values(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX All field)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
StartTime = Environment.TickCount
I found that it is still the same that the first inserted record takes more time, but just about 0.2s. And the normal insert time is around 0.02s. It is 4 times faster!!!
Can't Fetch Record From Cursor
Nov 4, 2007Hi,
I'm relatively inexperienced in sql, and am having trouble interpreting the behavior of a cursor in some code I have inherited. When there is a record in both the Filters and FilterElements tables, the fetch_status is 0. If there is a record in Filters, but no child record in FilterElements, the fetch_status is -1. Since the tables are joined with a RIGHT OUTER JOIN, even when there is no corresponding record in FilterElements, a record is returned (I have verified running the select in a query window). But when used in a cursor, the record is not fetched. The fetch_status is -1. Can anyone tell me why the fetch doesn't work in this case. Thanks
----
DECLARE @CreatedByUser nchar(100), @WorkflowIDs varchar(50);
DECLARE @MyVariable CURSOR;
SET @MyVariable = CURSOR FOR
SELECT isnull(Filters.WorkflowIDs, ''),
isnull(FilterElements.CreatedByUser, '')
FROM Filters RIGHT OUTER JOINFilterElements ON Filters.ItemID = FilterElements.FiltersItemID
WHERE FiltersItemID = @FilterID;
OPEN @MyVariable;FETCH NEXT FROM @MyVariable

Update Record In A Cursor
Apr 20, 2004Please tell me how to code the Update of the current cursor record as one would do using VD/ADO :

Select @NextNo = (Select NextNo from NextNumbers where NNId = 'AddressBook') + 1
--Create a Cursor through wich to lo loop and Update the ABAN8 with the corrrect NextNo
DECLARE Clone_Cursor CURSOR FOR Select ABAN8 from JDE_Train.trndta.F0101_Clone
Open Clone_Cursor
Fetch Next from Clone_Cursor
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
Select @NextNo = @NextNo + 1
Clone_Cursor("ABAN8") = @NextNo
Update Clone_Cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM Clone_Cursor
END

Walk The Log
Sep 20, 1999This may be a stupid question
I am going to setup "walk the log" replication as shown
1. Server A dumps its log every 10 min
2. Server B loads the log every 12 min
I know how this works and it is fine and dandy, but can anyone do any transactions on Server B? if so what does that do to trying to keep things in sync and rollback?

How Can I Walk Down Two Tables?
Jan 13, 2008I have to make some quick and dirty changes to some open source code I'm working with. I need to be able to look in one table for all records that fit a filter like this:"Select ProductID, quantity, attributes From OrderItem WHERE Orderid = " & sOrderIdFor each row, I grab the ProductID and attributes. Then I need to find the record in another table where the ProductID is the same, and the ListItem field is a substring of attributes. To help clarify, Attributes may be "<b>Color</b>: Black<br>". ListItem would be "Black", a substring of Attributes.Once I find the record I'm looking for, I'll need to update a field in second table.I've been using Strongly Typed Datasets so far. I don't know how to walk down two tables in .NET. I'm also very weak on joins. How do I accomplish this? Diane

Jun 28, 2004Hi,
First of all sorry about poor english.
I have the next problem:
I have a store procedure which declares a cursor which is a select from some tables. I´m surprised because the sp takes over 10 seconds on working and if i execute the select of the cursor as separate ways, it takes no more one second. I´ve changed the select with another easier select and it works 0 seconds, so it seems that the problem is in the select, but only if i use a cursor to save the regs, why????????
Thanks a lot.

Walk-through Of A Distributed SSRS Environment Installation/configuration?
Apr 30, 2008I'm using Virtual PC on my WinXP PC, with two W2K3 environments runnings as Virtual PC guests. My goal is to use these virtual servers to emulate a distributed SSRS environment--prior to setting up a similar environment on physical servers.
One of the W2K3 guests is my database server; the other W2K3 guest is my report server. Just like with a physical SSRS environment, there are many choices that need to be made during the installation and configuration--any one of which, it seems, can prevent the environment from working properly.
Currently, I'm struggling with getting my virtual distributed SSRS environment to work. I could go into the details, but I figured I'd ask a basic question first: Is anyone aware of a book, magazine article, blog, etc. that goes through a distributed SSRS installation--listing the requirements, discussing the choices, considering the implications, etc.?
Off the top of my head, such a walk-through would ideally cover networking configuration issues (Virtual PC or otherwise), Active Directory considerations, Windows Firewall settings between the servers, SSRS-related service account selections, authentication between the servers, etc.
If no one has produced such a walk-through (!), I'd be happy to write one so that others don't have to deal with the same struggles I'm currently dealing with....but I'd need your help.
Working Cursor But Takes So Much Time (effeciency Problem) Any Help
May 2, 2000I wrote a stored procedure (see below), which within a database create a new column (Ordering)and order rows that have the same OID, DECISION_DATE and give a to column ORDERING value 1 to the highest VOTES_REQUIRED VALUE, VALUE 2 to the second Hignest value and so On.
In Other words I am creating a sort on Index (ORDERING Column) on subsets of the database which have same OID and DECISION_DATE based on the value of VOTES_REQUIRED.
The stored procedure is working and I get the right results, but IT TAKES 3 HOURS 30 MINUTES to go through 38,000 rows. I have to run this stored procedure for a database with 200,000 rows (it may take tens of hours...).
Is there any idea to improve the following code to make it run efficiently.

Questions On Key Column In Case Table And Key Time Column In Nested Table Using Time Series Algorithm
Jun 4, 2007Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am confused on key column of case table and key time column of nested table by using Time Series algorithm.
In my case, the case table structure is as below:
Territory key text (the ID is actually dimrisk_key, in this case, I use the name column binding to combine the Territory column of case table Dimrisks),
While the nested table structure is as below:
Cal_month key time (in this case, actually the ID is dimdate_key, again, I used name column bining property to bind the Cal_month to the ID)
So my question is, as the key column of case table has been set to be Territory, as a result, does the model training still cover all the cases (rows) based on the ID of the table?
Also, in the nested table, as the key time column has been set to Cal_month rather than Dimdate_key of the nested table, as a result, would the single series based on the cal_month?
Hope it is clear for your advices and help.
And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Update A Record After A Cetain Time
Jul 1, 2001We have a website that allows people to enter tasks and they are then given a stageID. ie 1 which is review for when they are first entered into our database. If they have not been reviewed in 5 minutes I want them to update automatically and move onto the next stage. I have tried using a stored procedure that adds the reocrd with a waitfor command but that doesn't work because it locks the connection ofcourse until it's finished the stored procedure which means the webpage doesn't come back for 5 minutes which we don't need. I'm asking if there is any other way I can do this without a waitfor command or somehow use it so that it doesn't hold the current connection.
