Hi,
Does anyone know how much storage space is required in SQL Server for a char(1) compared to a varchar(1)?
If I have a table with 14 varchar(1) fields and 60652902 rows, how much is this overhead costing me in wasted space?
Answers on a postcard!
Thanks,
Richard.
In my inner query,
I have a column "Cost" (data type=varchar) and another column "Qty" (data type=int)
Now in outer query, I need to multiply this 2 columns Cost*Qty.But after trying some cast operation still getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
I need to build TSQL query to return the Last unit Cost from my table of movement of goods SL (on CTE) but the MAX(Datalc) must be Less or Equal to my HeaderInvoice.
This is my script:
With MaxDates as (
SELECT ref,
MAX(epcpond)[Unitcostprice],
MAX(datalc) MaxDate
FROM sl
[code]....
the problem I have right now is that the Unitcostprice of my table of goods movements has a top date greather than the date of my bill.
Example:
invoice date : 29.01.2015 unitcost on invoice line = 13,599722
Maxdate (CTE) : 19.03.2015 unitCost from my table of movement of goods = 14,075
That ´s not correct because the MAxdates > invoice date and the unitCost of 14,075 is the cost on 19.03.2015 and not just before my invoice date.
I right in thinking that if the estimated subtree cost is higher than the cost threshold for parallelism then it will use a parallel plan? If so, I've read the cost threshold is measured in minutes but is the subtree cost measured in something else, the mysterious cost number? And if so, how are the two compared?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wrote some code to insert some data into a table, if the record already exists overwrite, etc. I've never done something like this so
I am going to bang my head against that for a while. But when I did an execution plan I got
Index Seek Cost : 105 %
How do I get more than 100% and what does that mean?

hi there,
i have a site that has high traffic on it...and ofcourse there is search on the site...
one of the search options is to search by name, so i use a stored procedure as following :
select StID,StName from StudentTable where StName like '%' + @SearchField + '%'
ofcourse it works perfectly, the problem that it has a really high cost on the sql server..
so is there any way i can search for the name and using the '%' with lower cost, noting that the name is of type varchar(100)
Thanks in advance

OK, this should be an easy one but my brain isn't quite working right now.
I have a table, we'll call Table1 like so:
ProductID Supplier Cost
12345 A 14.50
12345 B 13.49
12345 C 12.00
43222 A 15.00
43222 B 15.21
43222 C 13.99
12312 B 14.00
15421 A 21.99
15421 C 20.00
And I want to Get the name of the Supplier with the Lowest cost,
I know I can go like:
SELECT ProductID, MIN(Cost) FROM Table1 GROUP BY ProductID
and get the lowest cost, but what would be the most effiecent way to get all three fields returned by the query? I need the ProductID, Supplier and Cost.
Thanks,
Is there a way that we can figure out what the cost of a SQL query is via jdbc ? any command etc?

I've converted most SQL Server databases to unicode since the AS 400 stores data in unicode (UTF-16). So far the only difference I see is that running queries to text in Unicode takes a lot longer, and UTF-16 files are 4x as large as Cp1252 files.
Any way to get the file sizes / query times of old with Unicode?

After lots of testing I have found that re-using dialogs improves performance significantly, however I cannot fathom out what is the cost of re-using them. Performance does not come for free hene why I feel there is a cost. Can anyone shed any light on the cost of re-using dialogs? Also why should you re-cycle them? What benefits does recycling dialogs have?
Many thanks

has anybody investigated the cost of turning on AUDITING for the SQL servers? I am talking about enabling the entire C2 Security Audit mode. How much impact the auditing has on the database performance?
Is auditing for SQL 2005 any better, meaning less impact on performance?
Any sample, test, and/or numbers to support the arguments?
Please share any findings that you have or know. Thanks
I have been told that many ETL tools used to cost hundred of thousands of dollars. Is this true or were they referring to the ETL and Analysis tools, together? Can anyone provide some actual product names and estimated "costs" that hits these marks?

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]

@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END
And the error I kept getting is:
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.

im try to get the subtree cost (sql server 2000) back from a dynimic sql query that i build on the fly.. the sql query is:
SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON GOselect * from mp_Contacts Where FirstName = 'Jason' --my queryGOSET SHOWPLAN_ALL OFF GOGO
the c# code is:
<code>
Decimal HoldSubTree;
// Make Connection
SqlConnection FindSubTree = new SqlConnection(Utilities.GetCRMEnvironment());
//Sql Connection
System.Text.StringBuilder SHOWPLANALLON = new System.Text.StringBuilder("SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON");
System.Text.StringBuilder SHOWPLANALLOFF = new System.Text.StringBuilder("SET SHOWPLAN_ALL OFF");
System.Text.StringBuilder SubTreeSql = new System.Text.StringBuilder(MySqlString.ToString() + " ");
// Grab the data and fill the dataset
SqlCommand SubTreemyCommand = new SqlCommand(SHOWPLANALLON.ToString(), FindSubTree);
SubTreemyCommand.CommandTimeout = 90;
SubTreemyCommand = new SqlCommand(SubTreeSql.ToString(), FindSubTree);
SubTreemyCommand.CommandTimeout = 90;
SqlDataAdapter SubTreemyDA = new SqlDataAdapter();
SubTreemyDA.SelectCommand = SubTreemyCommand;
DataSet SubTreemyDS = new DataSet();
SubTreemyCommand = new SqlCommand(SHOWPLANALLOFF.ToString(), FindSubTree);
SubTreemyCommand.CommandTimeout = 90;
try
{
SubTreemyDA.Fill(SubTreemyDS);
</code>
and the result: it bring back the rows of data from the dynimic query instead of the subtree cost..
how could i send 3 statements to the sql database but all in the same transaction.. for example:
first the server would switch modes:
"SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON"
then i would send it my query:
"select * from mp_Contacts Where FirstName = 'Jason' "
and then switch the server back over:
"SET SHOWPLAN_ALL OFF"
Is this possible?? ideas??
We use SQL Server 2005 and we use lots of stored procedures. Each time a stored procedure run we log the name, execution time and username so we can identify trends and long-running procedures.
I would like to add the actual CPU and IO cost of execution to this log. Is there a way to get it? This type of information is viewable in SQL Server's performance tools - so there must be some way to get it.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!
Hi,
We are in need of a JDBC driver (version 3) to support some autonumbering in SQLServer. We've found a couple, very expensive stuff (JTurbo & DataDirect), these drivers can be more expensive than a SQLServer license. Any other ideas/sources?

I have a query i have been optimizing. Now runs in about 15 minutes but was wondering if there is any way tr educe the SORT cost.
Currently the high costs left are the Table insert which is 58% and the Sort cost of 36%
The inner query below is around 400million rows and aggregates to around 15,000,000 rows)
SELECT@1 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -1, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@2 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -2, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@3 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -3, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)
SELECT@4 = DateKey FROM dbo.DimDate WHERE TheDate = CAST(DATEADD(WEEK, -4, GETDATE() -1) as DATE)

I have enabled the query governor on our SQL2000 SP2 server with athreshold of 3600. Now, some of the maintenance jobs fail due to thelimit being to low (e.g. one of the user databases integrity checkfails nightly).I have tried to put the command 'SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT 0' justbefore the line in the step which reads 'EXECUTEmaster.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-Plan etc'but it has no effect.Does anyone know how to get around this situation without usingsp_configure to change the query governor settings at a systemwidelevel?GC.

Hi all
I have got 3 columns in my table- start date,finish date and cost..in the
following format...
start_date finish_date cost
12/12/2000 20/12/2000 $2000
01/09/2000 12/10/2000 $400
Now if the month and year of the start and finish date is same, the cost
remains same...
but if the month of the two dates are different, i have to distribute the
cost between the two months by calculating the cost for the number of days
for both of the months..
but i am not able to figure out how?
i am using sql 2005 ..
my table has got about 1 million rows...

For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

I am collecting cost and other information for my manager who is
willing to set up an "in house" web dev dept. Will SQL server
express always be free? What does it lack from the regular
version of SQL server? How would it compare with other DB's available
for web use. This isn't a retooled Access thing, is it?
i am trying to find it, the only thing the MS site shows is enterprise
licensing. is the developer edition still going to be like $100 or
whatever it was?
I've a table similar to the one below, with a SKU, Category and Cost, and need using a simple select command, split the cost in two columns one for each category (1,2), I used a self-join, and it works, but it doesn't show values not equal in both categories
Declare @Tmp_SKUCatValue Table(
SKU char(7)
,Cetegory Int
,Unit_cost Decimal
);
INSERT INTO @Tmp_SKUCatValue (SKU, Cetegory,Unit_cost)
Values
('sku-001',1,120)
[code].....
The result is as
SKU----------UCost_Cat1-----UCost_Cat2
sku-001------120--------------222
sku-002------126--------------228
sku-003------132--------------234
sku-004------138--------------240
sku-005------144--------------246
-----------------------------------------------------------
but missing the following lines,
SKU----------UCost_Cat1-----UCost_Cat2
sku-006------333--------------null
sku-007------null--------------444
Is ok to not show sku-008 as it is not part of category 1 or 2?
