This is my scenario. I have two tables
1)FM_SHARE_RO_MOVED (5 COLUMNS)
2)PARSE_FILE INSTANCE (16 COLUMN)
column in FM_SHARE_RO_MOVED
File_name
FG00E3PK.csv
column in PARSE_FILE INSTANCE
File_Location
D:ToParseFLEXSTARPNGFLEXSTAR12FG00E3PK.csv
I want to check if the values in file name in FM_SHARE_RO_MOVED is available in PARSE_FILE_INSTANCE. And if it is available the update a column in FM_SHARE_RO_MOVED
Status
OK
Hi,
I have a question about how to best make a comparison of two aggregated SELECT€™s. I'm using SQL Server 2005 on a Windows XP machine.
I€™m doing a comparison between donor/gift information from one table and donor/gift information from another table. I have a difference of 7 records/gifts between the two tables. For whatever reason one table is supposedly Header level data and the other is Line level data and they are supposed to have the same number of records/gifts (not an issue here).
The aggregated SELECT€™s, which will show the donor and the number of gifts each made, are listed below:
SELECT
[Account Number]
,count(*) as [Count]
FROM
Zk_HeaderMulti
GROUP BY
[Account Number]
--
SELECT
[Account Number]
,count(*) as [Count]
FROM
Zk_LineMulti
GROUP BY
[Account Number]
Is there a more efficient way to do this than the below listed method in which I use temp tables, join them and find the donor(s) with differing number of gifts between the header table and the line table?
=================================================
SELECT
[Account Number] as Line_Donor
,count(*) as LineGift_Num
INTO
#Line
FROM
Zk_LineMulti
GROUP BY
[Account Number]
--
SELECT
[Account Number] as Head_Donor
,count(*) as HeadGift_Num
INTO
#Header
FROM
Zk_HeaderMulti
GROUP BY
[Account Number]
--
SELECT
Line_Donor
,LineGift_Num
,Head_Donor
,HeadGift_Num
FROM
#Line A
JOIN
#Header Z
ON a.Line_Donor=z.Head_Donor
WHERE
LineGift_Num<>HeadGift_Num
==================================================
I thought I might be able to try and do it in a single query that doesn€™t require two temp tables, but took the easy way out. Any suggestions?
I am doing this 2 queries, they get data from the same tables in a very different way. The new way is a lot faster but of course there are problems. There are some discrepancies in the results. Both queries produce results with more than 200.000 rows. Second one has ca. 100 rows less than the first one and some of the results are wrong (most are correct though).
My question is how do I find the differences. I did the left outer join when column a.result != b.result (lines are defined by date and ID so they should be unique).but the join gives me problematic results (some are not different at all, some differences are not in the result).so how do I find the differences between 2 queries, including missing results/rows?
I have a requirement to compare data between two tables in SQL Server.
What is the fastest way to do it using SSIS? There are approx 6~7 millions of records in each table.
My solution: Read both the tables and store the data in Object Type variable. Then run an except query. But I am stuck at except query part. How do I implement it?
No, I don't need a step-by-step (necessarily). I've been looking at W3Schools tutorial and it says to:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Person
(
LastName varchar,
FirstName varchar,
Address varchar,
Age int
)
But what is that? A text file saved with a .sql extension. Something typed at a command prompt? Is there an SQL interface?

I am trying to make a join in between 2 tables. One table which we can called func has 2 columns a and column b.
The other table which is called export has 16 columns. I will like to make a join in these tables and insert the result of the join into another table i have.
The table that is going to have the information has 4 columns, so I will get 1 column information from table export, and the other 2 column from table func, the other column shall be left in blank for the time being.
The problem is also that when i make a select from table export, there are only some values i want to get, this are values from a period where there is only the periods 11.
Select Company, A and B
FROM FUNC, EXPORT where period = '1101', '1102', '1103'
insert into new table?

- Unable to create relationship 'FK_charges_reservations'.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_charges_reservations'. The conflict occurred in database 'limp', table 'reservations', column 'booking_ticket'.
I used to make relationship before , but never found this problem.
Kindly guide me to solve it.

I have multiple flat files providing dimensional data to multiple tables. The source files and destination tables are very similiar in structure, the columns are named differently in each table
ID - surrogate key
Code - match for lookup
Desc - updated column
flow options I have considered or might work are:
source (flat file) - this is easy to make dynamic
lookup against existing Table -
1. I can make this dynamic on the advanced tab by restricting memory. have not really tried this option yet. Seems like it might be a performance issue for large tables but so far it seems all these dimensional tables will be small.
2. Could create a view in the control flow,before execution of the DataFlow with generic column names against a variable table and use this same view for every lookup - again not sure of performance etc
3. could just replace this with a merge/join as long as it does full outer, have not used this option so I'm not quite clear on the dynamic properties
now the last part update or insert
Insert
1. Seems like I could use the OLEDB destination and make the table a variable - have not tried to see if this works.
Update-
1. looking at the OLEDB command but not sure how it would handle a variable table name in an update statement - will need to try this out
2. OLEDB command that calls a proc that executes a dynamically built update statement
3. Write the update items to a generic holding table then run an update in the control flow from a dymanically built sql statement.
I have one database named StudInfo. It has two tables named StudentInfo, and GradeInfo.
StudentInfo conntains 4 columns. The 1st one is StudentID (PK) int, LastName varchar(10), FirstName varchar(10), and PhoneNumber int.
GradeInfo contains 4 columns also StudentID (FK) int, GradeID varchar(10), Grade int, Date Datetime.
What I would like to know is how using a T-sql query I could make a temp table with studentID, LastName, FirstName, and then the average of all the different types under GradeID. As of right now I have been limiting the names that are put into GradeID to Homework, Daily, Test, Quiz, and Bonus. When I say average I mean the average of all Homeworks under one studentID, and all Daily under one studentID... etc. I would like the info returned for each student in studentID. Allow Nulls has been turned off.
Never assume someone knows what you are talking about.

Hi...
I have a problem comparing dates in SQL Server 7.
I want to find results where date1 = date2.
I am having problems becausing SQL is also trying to compare the time which
is included in the field value e.g. 03/04/00 12:01:32
So even if the dates are equal the time may be different so the results are not shown?
I've tried SUBSTRING, and CONVERT,CAST etc.. and still can't get it to work
Any ideas???
Thanks.
Is there a way to compare two similar tables? I'm more interested in finding out if the data content is exactly the same or not between the two tables.
Thanks for your help.
We are converting our project into new version. They have done lot of changes in new version including normalization/denormalization. I need to compare the old and new database.
Do you have any standard script or procedure like SQL Compare software?.

Good day,
I am receiving garbage data from my other department as follows.
I want:
'12/05/03' for example.
I get:
'//'
'00/00/00'
And other garbage. All of which crashes the transaction because it cannot be converted to Datetime.
What I would like to do is something like this:
IF @v_date > '01/01/50'
BEGIN <-- statement will crash if bad data)
Something to trigger a Boolean (True/False) validation of the data.
I want to know if it is even a date before I run it through my block.
Any thoughts?
I don't want to add a new IF block for every bizarre thing they send me.
Thanks ahead of time.
PS - I guess I could just raise an exception and handle it in a block that way, but am still curious.
Hi friends,
How can I do, in one Trigger, to returns if two columns, one of the Inserted and other of the Deleted, are differents ? I used this example:
If ( select Name from inserted ) !=
( select Name from deleted )
Insert Into Log_System
( Key_Mame, User_Name, Date, Field, Value, Table_Name )
Select 'COD. PROD: ' + Convert( char(10), I.Cod_Prod ),
SUSER_NAME(), GetDate(),
'Name', Convert(Char(255), D.Name ),
Convert(Char(255), I.Name), 'U', 'PRODUCTS'
From Inserted I, Deleted D
But, if one of them is Null, then the comparison result returns FALSE.
Examples:
1 - If in the Table are keeped null and the new value is different of Null
the comparison result returns FALSE.
2 - If in the Table are keeped a value and the new value is null the
comparison result returns FALSE too.
Excuse me, my English is not currently.
Thanks !

Hi,
Assuming a table with a column defined char or varchar.
I have a SQL query like this :
Select * from table1 where column1='Building'
It returns the same result that
Select * from table1 where column1='BUILDING'
It is my understanding SQL Server (verison 7 or 2000, I tried on both) is lower/capital insensitive by default when it is installed. If I want SQL Server to be case-sensitive with my char or varchar columns, where can I set it?
Is it at database level or server level I can find this setting . What is the setting that control it?

Hello im trying to run a simple query where i compare something simple like BEARING to a field in the database using this query.
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND ('BEARING' LIKE '%'+table1.CLEANSED_REF+'%')
Inside the table i can see the CLEANSED_REF field and its value is "000BEARINGBRNG000". When i run the query i get no records returned.
But if i run
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND (table1.CLEANSED_REF LIKE '%BEARING%')
The query returns the row i wanted. Can anyone tell me why this wont work the first way, but works the second?

I have two tables that I am needing to link by the tables date field. In one table the date field is defined as varchar(23). The time for this field is always zeros.
Example: '2005-12-27 00:00:00.000'
The other table is defined as datetime, and it does have the date and time in this field.
Example: 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000
The problem i am having is
2005-12-27 00:00:00.000 does not = 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000.
Because I will never have more than one record on the same date I would like to be able to only compare the date. Example 2005-12-27 = 2005-12-27
Since the fields are 2 different field types, this is giving me a problem. Could someone please help. I have tried everything I know to do.
What I really need is the a way to format the datetime fields date into a string such as '2005-12-27'.
Hopefully what i have written makes sense.
Thanks
I had an application go down yesterday...it was giving a Type Mismatch error and the support team couldn't figure it out.
My suspicion is that a field in the database got populated with a character the vb app didn't like when it renders the information.
I'd like to prove that theory...but the database is large (4gb) and I'm not sure how to do a database comparison to see where the records differ.
Anybody have a script to get me started OR some experience to share?
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs many of you know I've been hunting down a SQL CE alternative / embedded DB that is easily portable among handhelds.
It turns out, that without paying for some other DB, there really aren't any good ones... Unless you go GPL, and the interpretation of GPL that most are using is that your code too is GPL even though you may only Dynamically Link to their app. I think this is likely wrong, but none the less I'm back here yet again.
What I'm looking for this time is a definition of how SQL Server CE is implemented, how it differs from a full blown DB, etc, so I can more thourally explain "why SQL CE" is an embedded DB, and how it isn't the full blown SQL Server that has a bad reputation with some.
My guess is:
SQL Server CE is implemented via DLL. There aren't sockets etc to allow you to connect, and it operates more like an advanced hash on the file system.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, or... send me a link where I can further research. Also, if you have another embedded DB as a suggestion, that's free of course, please point it my way.
Thanks!
How would one go about writing an expression such as:
var not in (a to g, s to z) in the expression builder to be evaluted with and iif statment
iif(var not in (a to g, s to z),var,"not in listed")
I would rather not have to write this in the SQL statement as a case statement.
