Hello there. I've been debating the best way to store the age of a ticket in a queue. Here's a little overview:
The application has a form that has users enter the current count and oldest ages of tickets in several queues. The format in the application they pull this data from stores it as Day:Hour:Minute (0:04:59)
The first time around, I stored them as datetime. But since you can't store a Day as zero (some tickets may be 0 days, 23:54 Hours old) I stored the day as a year. Well that proved to be stupid, because the averages in reports were way off. Next I stored the age as text, like this: 10459 (1 Day, 04:59 Hours old). Now my problem is when using that number in a report, I have to convert it to decimal and multiply the day by 24 and add it to the hour, just so they will be weighted correctly.
This is a mess... and I've searched all over the internet for examples, but every search result is for storing a persons age, not the age of a ticket.
When users register with my site they give me their DoB, how can I work out an age from it. I was thinkin about doing it from the year, but that isnt very accurate. Can anyone help? thanks si! ps Id only want to work out how many years old they are. si!
What I'd like to do is get the percentages for each available status in T1, from T2-- I can do this; however, I'm having trouble in the cases where a particular ID hasn't been in one of the status (in other words, calculating a 0%). What I'd like to get from these two tables is:
Hope someone can help me with this because its driving me potty!
I have a .NET script that sends really simple queries to SQL server that works perfectly 50% of the time but for the other 50% it takes ages (2-3 minutes) and then fails, I'm assuming because it times out. I then check the SQL by excecuting it via query analyzer and it again takes ages but will work eventually (I'm assuming because this bypasses the timeout settings, but changing these isn't on).
This happens randomly, the scripts will be working fine and then fail a few times before magically working again!
Any ideas? Perhaps some database features that commonly cause this problem? The problem only occurs with one database, all our others are fine but we can't spot any differences!
I need to provide a way to handle groups that buy tickets in bulk lots, say 20 at a time. Users can later register with a "ticket code". I need to tie these two together and provide a way for groups to buy more tickets at a later time.
There should be a code that can be generated for each ticket that a group buys. This ticket is then to be given to a user to register with. A rogue user should not find it easy to guess the code. So, I want to generate a code for each group as they register, that is a random 6 or 7 digit, alphanumeric string and then something similar for a ticket. See table definitions below.
So for a ticket code, we could have something like this: A23486D_TR34, where A23486D would be the group code
comments/suggestions/ideas welcome
At present Ive built two tables, [groups] and [group_tickets]
[group] id int(10) unsigned name varchar(45) phone varchar(10) email varchar(45) contact_namevarchar(100) signup_datedatetime last_updatedatetime group_codevarchar(6) addr1 varchar(45) addr2 varchar(45) city varchar(45) state char(2) zip varchar(10)
I'm trying to find a solution to for a report i am building and was hoping that some of you will share your expertise with me. Basically, I need to work out how long an Incident Ticket was suspended (ie it's status is "on hold").
The data is stored something similar to the following...
Ticket Date Status ------ ---- ------ 333 14/03/2005 10:24:19 "to on hold" 333 14/03/2005 15:23:01 "from on hold" 334 14/03/2005 11:14:11 "to on hold" 334 14/03/2005 16:26:15 "from on hold" 335 15/03/2005 10:10:15 "to on hold" 335 15/03/2005 11:15:35 "from on hold" 335 15/03/2005 13:26:10 "to on hold" 335 15/03/2005 14:30:59 "from on hold" 335 16/03/2005 14:00:05 "to on hold" 335 16/03/2005 16:45:15 "from on hold" 336 16/03/2005 10:10:15 "to on hold" 336 16/03/2005 12:45:12 "from on hold"
I am new to Reporting Services. I want to use Reporting Services 2005 in our application.
My custom web application is on one machine and Reporting Services 2005 is on other machine. I am using Forms Authentication and using Single Sign On for login
If my custom web application and Reporting Services are on same machin I can get "Authentication Ticket" issued by ReportingServices2005 to the Report server.
But in this case I am not able to get "Authentication Ticket" on Report Server since it is on other machine.
I am using ReportViewer control in my web application to display Reports and using LogonUser method to get the Authentication Ticket.
How can I pass CookieAuthentication ticket from my Custom Web Application to Report Server?
Is there any work around to pass Authentication Cookie across Domain or any other solution for this?
I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE Jim 4444/ 6666 Bob 5555 7777 --BookingRef FGHIJ Jenny 8888/ 9999/ 3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
My question takes two parts; firstly, is the new table that I'm proposing going to handle the business logic I describe below, and secondly, if I put the new table in, how in hell do I use it?
Right; present schema attached.
The idea, which I hope is fairly clear from the schema, is that you send it a buch of parameters about the event, admission date, etc, and it will return all tickets matching those parameters. An example stored proc for this is below:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[getSingleTicketsByParameters] @eventIdINT, @standIdINT, @admissionDateIdINT, @bookingDateIdINT, @concessionIdINT, @bookingMinQuantityIdINT, @bookingMaxQuantityIdINT, @membershipIdINT AS SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT [tblTickets].[id], [tblTickets].[booking_date_id], [tblTickets].[booking_min_quantity_id], [tblTickets].[booking_max_quantity_id], [tblTickets].[ticket_concession_id], [tblTickets].[membership_id], [tblTickets].[event_id], [tblTickets].[stand_id], [tblTickets].[admission_date_id], [tblTickets].[price], [tblTickets].[availability], [tblTickets].[description], [tblTickets].[admin_description], [tblTickets].[ticket_open], [tblTickets].[ticket_live], [tblEvents].[event_name], [tblEvents].[event_open], [tblStands].[stand_name], [tblStands].[stand_open], [tblBookingDates].[booking_start_date], [tblBookingDates].[booking_end_date], [tblTicketConcessions].[concession_name], [tblBookingMinQuantities].[booking_quantity], [tblBookingMaxQuantities].[booking_quantity], [tblAdmissionDates].[description], [tblAdmissionDates].[admission_start_date], [tblAdmissionDates].[admission_end_date], [tblAdmissionDates].[date_open], [tblMemberships].[membership_name] FROM [tblTickets] LEFT JOIN [tblEvents] ON [tblEvents].[id] = [tblTickets].[event_id] LEFT JOIN [tblStands] ON [tblStands].[id] = [tblTickets].[stand_id] LEFT JOIN [tblBookingDates] ON [tblBookingDates].[id] = [tblTickets].[booking_date_id] LEFT JOIN [tblTicketConcessions] ON [tblTicketConcessions].[id] = [tblTickets].[ticket_concession_id] LEFT JOIN [tblBookingQuantities] AS tblBookingMinQuantities ON [tblBookingMinQuantities].[id] = [tblTickets].[booking_min_quantity_id] LEFT JOIN [tblBookingQuantities] AS tblBookingMaxQuantities ON [tblBookingMaxQuantities].[id] = [tblTickets].[booking_max_quantity_id] LEFT JOIN [tblAdmissionDates] ON [tblAdmissionDates].[id] = [tblTickets].[admission_date_id] LEFT JOIN [tblMemberships] ON [tblMemberships].[id] = [tblTickets].[membership_id] WHERE 1=1 AND ([tblEvents].[id]=@eventId OR @eventId=0) AND ([tblStands].[id]=@standId OR @standId=0) AND ([tblTicketConcessions].[id]=@concessionId OR @concessionId=0) AND ([tblAdmissionDates].[id]=@admissionDateId OR @admissionDateId=0) AND ([tblBookingDates].[id]=@bookingDateId OR @bookingDateId=0) AND ([tblBookingMinQuantities].[id]=@bookingMinQuantityId OR @bookingMinQuantityId=0) AND ([tblBookingMaxQuantities].[id]=@bookingMaxQuantityId OR @bookingMaxQuantityId=0) AND ([tblMemberships].[id]=@membershipId OR @membershipId=0) GO
So. It's all about to get horribly, horribly complex (well, it is to me) so take a deep breath.
Tickets are subject to quotas. However, quotas are subject to... well, at the moment they can be based on event, stand, admission date, concession, or any combination of these. They can also be based on an individual ticket. All quotas, however, are annual; they only apply to ticket purchases in the same year. For example: - you can't buy more than 4 tickets for date A, in stand B at event C, per year. - you can't buy more than 2 tickets for stand D per year. - you can't buy more than 4 of ticket number 123.
Now, I'm thinking that all I need to manage this is one table, and it's going to look a little like this:
tblQuotas id INT PK ticket_id INT FK event_id INT FK stand_id INT FK admission_date_id INT FK quota INT
So, if I put a record in there with an event, stand and admission date - and a quota - then I've met the first business rule that I described above. If I put in a record with just a stand id and a quota, then I've met the second sort. If I put in one with just a ticket id and a quota, then I've met the third.
Now we return to that big SQL statement above. The one that says "get me all eligible tickets that match these parameters". And it's got to get a lot bigger because I now need to not only join in tblQuotas, to see if any quotas apply to the ticket I've chosen (or to the event, stand, etc that make it up), but I've also got to join in tblBasket, and tblOrders, and tblUsers, to find out how much of any particular quota they've already used up in previous orders. Although that's only orders placed in the current year, mind. And of course I also now haveto pass the users ID in as a parameter so I can look up their order history.
Your head's hurting too, right?
So... this is where I've got to:
SELECT SUM(ticket_quantity) FROM [tblBasket] INNER JOIN [tblTickets] ON [tblBasket].[ticket_id] = [tblTickets].[id] INNER JOIN [tblOrders] ON [tblBasket].[order_id] = [tblOrders].[id] WHERE [tblTickets].[stand_id] = @standId AND [tblOrders].[user_id] = @userId AND ([tblOrders].[order_date] BETWEEN '2006/01/01' AND '2006/12/31')
What I want to do is incorporate that into the big SQL query up top, in such a way to make it only return tickets that not only match the ticket parameters but that also aren't linked to stands, admission dates or anything else, that the user has reached their quota on.
Oh, and I'm in a bit of a hurry so do try and get a move on won't you? ;)
But seriously - how do I put those two SQL querys together? Do I need one for each paramater that might have a quota attached, or is there a quicker way? All suggestions and advice, up to and including "get an easier job, dude", received gratefully :)
I ran into a Kerberos authentication issue because of a missing AOAG SPN. Some of the tickets that granted me access to the nodes of the AOAG cluster were using the encryption type that I would expect. However, the MSSQLSvc SPNs were not using what I would expect!
On SQL 2012 (64bit) I have a CLR stored procedure that calls another, T-SQL stored procedure.
The CLR procedure passes a sizeable amount of data via a user defined table type resp.table values parameter. It passes about 12,000 rows with 3 columns each.
For some reason the call of the procedure is verz very slow. I mean just the call, not the procedure.
I changed the procdure to do nothing (return 1 in first line).
So with all parameters set from
command.ExecuteNonQuery()to create proc usp_Proc1 @myTable myTable read only begin return 1 end
it takes 8 seconds.I measured all other steps (creating the data table in CLR, creating the SQL Param, adding it to the command, executing the stored procedure) and all of them work fine and very fast.
When I trace the procedure call in SQL Profiler I get a line like this for each line of the data table (12,000)
SP:StmtCompleted -- Encrypted Text.
As I said, not the procedure or the creation of the data table takes so long, really only the passing of the data table to the procedure.
My store Procedure is not save in Strore Procedure folder at the time of saving it give me option to save in Project folder and file name default is SQLQuery6.sql when i save it after saving when i run my store procedure
exec [dbo].[SP_GetOrdersForCustomer] 'ALFKI'
I am getting below error :
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1 Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.SP_GetOrdersForCustomer'.
Hi allI am using .jpg images in my application, I am currently storing all my images in a file location, and placing their file path in the database. The problem with this is that I cannot display the images in crystal reports (version with vs.net 2005). I can however display the images if I store them as bytes in an image data type in my db.So the question is should I store either the file path of the bytes of the image in the database table? What are the contraints, I know that size is one, but will speed & performance be affected?Mike55.
My users table looks lie this: userID (primary key) firstName lastName userName userCode Industry Company Office dateCreated Password …
Every time that I create a new user I have to create userCode (for internal use). userCode should be created from first letter of the FirstName, first letter from LastName and a number. Example: firstName: lastName: userCode: Joe Blow jb1 Jake Brinks jb2 Ann Smith as1 …
If same userCode already exist the in the same Industry and in the same Company and in the same Office then createCode function should increment the number (the third character of the userCode) up to 9
I never did this before. Any help would be highly appreciated. Alex.

Hi all, I have a few question regarding SPROC. Firstly, I want to create a sp, that will return a multiple column of data, how do you achieve that. Secondly, I want to create a store procedure that will return a multiple columns in a cursor as an output variable. Any help will be much appreciated. Can you have more then 1 return parameters??? Thanks. Kabir
In an ASP.NET app, where is the preferred place (or your preferred place, I should say) to store any SQL Statements (updates, selects, stored procedure calls, etc.) you have? I have been using a key/value pair in AppSettings in my web.config but just feel like that isn't the best way. What say you?
I have asp.net web application which interface with SQL server, I want to run store procedure query of SQL using my asp.net application. How to declare connectons strings, dataset, adapter etc to run my store procedure resides in sql server. for Instance Dim connections as string, Dim da as dataset, Dim adpt as dataadapter. etc if possible , then show me completely code so I can run store procedure using my button click event in my asp.net application thank you maxmax
Hi All, I want to store files (any kind of file) in DB and retrieve them.What is the best method to do it and also please post sample code as I have never done that. Thanks, Kumar.
I'm developing a site in asp.net and one of the main parts is to manage a timesheet. Now the problem i'm facing is; how do I save this timesheet in a database in a way that it's easy to save and easy to query from. I'm thinking about problems as i.e. 1st of a month is middle of the week, so I can't save it like this:
'****************************************************************** '****************************************************************** Public Function Add_Cl_Contact(ByVal strContactName As String, _ ByVal strDep As String, ByVal strEmail As String, ByVal strExt1 As String, ByVal strExt2 As String, _ ByVal strExt3 As String, ByVal strFax As String, ByVal strPhone1 As String, ByVal strPhone2 As String, _ ByVal strPhone3 As String, ByVal strTitle As String, ByVal iContactTypeId As Integer, _ ByRef iResult As Integer, ByRef strError As String) As Boolean '****************************************************************** Dim bSuccess As Boolean = True Dim connect As New SqlConnection(strConnection) Dim cmdSelect As New SqlCommand("Add_Cl_Contact", connect) Dim paramReturnValue As SqlParameter

Catch ex As Exception bSuccess = False strError = ex.Message Finally If connect.State = ConnectionState.Open Then connect.Close() End If End Try Return bSuccess End Function
I am not sure if it is right place to ask the question. I have a store procedure in which funcitons are called and several temp tables are created. When I use sql analyzer, it runs fast. But when I called it from asp.net app, it runs slow and it waits and waits to get data and insert into temp tables and return. Though I have used with (nolock), it still not imprvoed. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. NetAdventure

Hi, I have a FormView with a couple of TextBoxes, a DropDownList and two CheckBoxes. I have connected a SQLDataSource to the FormView with an InsertCommand to store the values entered into the different conrtrols. My problem is that the boolean values from the two CheckBoxes doesn't get stored in the Database (SQL Server Express). The columns in the DB are of type "bit", should I choose a different type? I don't see any errors just a NULL value in the DB. I'm probably missing the obvious taken that I'm really fresh to this, so any help would be appreciated...
Hello, I am very new to ASP.NET and SQL Server. I am a college student and just working on some project to self teaching myself them both. I am having a issue. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Ok, I am creating a web app that will help a company to help with inventory. The employee's have cretin equipment assign to them (more then one equipment can be assigned). I have a search by equipment and employee, to search by equipment the entire database even then equipment that isn't assigned with the employee's it shows only that employees and if they have any equipment. They can select a recorded to edit or see the details of the record. The problem i am having is that the Info page will not load right. I am redirected the Serial Number and EmployeeID to the info page. I got everything working except one thing. If a person has more then one equipment when i click on the select it redirect and only shows the first record not the one I selected. and when i change it, a employee that doesn't have equipment will not show up totally.
SELECT E.FirstName AS UserFirstName, E.LastName AS UserLastName, eqtype.Description AS UserEquipType, empeq.UserEquipID, E.EmployeeID, E.cwopa_id, eq.IPAddress, eq.Location, eq.DataLine3, eq.DataLine2, eq.Voice, eq.DataLine1, eq.FloorBox, eq.Comments, eq.SerialNo, eq.Model, eq.Brand, eq.TagNo, eq.PurchaseLease, eq.WarrantyExpDate, eq.PhoneType, eq.PhoneNum, eq.CellNumber, eq.DataNumber, eq.SIDNumber, eq.Carrier FROM dbo.EMPLOYEES AS E LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EMPLOYEES_EQUIP AS empeq ON empeq.EmployeeID = E.EmployeeID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIPMENT AS eq ON eq.EquipID = empeq.EquipID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIP_TYPE AS eqtype ON eqtype.EquipTypeID = eq.EquipTypeID WHERE E.EmployeeID = @EmployeeID and eq.SerialNo=@SerialNo EmployeeID and SerialNo are primary keys. I was thinking maybe create a store procedures, but I have no idea how to do it. I created this and no syntax error came up but it doesn't work CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.inventoryinfo AS DECLARE @EmployeeID int DECLARE @SerialNo varchar(50) IF( @SerialNo is NULL) SELECT E.FirstName AS UserFirstName, E.LastName AS UserLastName, eqtype.Description AS UserEquipType, empeq.UserEquipID, E.EmployeeID, E.cwopa_id, eq.IPAddress, eq.Location, eq.DataLine3, eq.DataLine2, eq.Voice, eq.DataLine1, eq.FloorBox, eq.Comments, eq.SerialNo, eq.Model, eq.Brand, eq.TagNo, eq.PurchaseLease, eq.WarrantyExpDate, eq.PhoneType, eq.PhoneNum, eq.CellNumber, eq.DataNumber, eq.SIDNumber, eq.Carrier FROM dbo.EMPLOYEES AS E LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EMPLOYEES_EQUIP AS empeq ON empeq.EmployeeID = E.EmployeeID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIPMENT AS eq ON eq.EquipID = empeq.EquipID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIP_TYPE AS eqtype ON eqtype.EquipTypeID = eq.EquipTypeID WHERE E.EmployeeID = @EmployeeID ELSE SELECT E.FirstName AS UserFirstName, E.LastName AS UserLastName, eqtype.Description AS UserEquipType, empeq.UserEquipID, E.EmployeeID, E.cwopa_id, eq.IPAddress, eq.Location, eq.DataLine3, eq.DataLine2, eq.Voice, eq.DataLine1, eq.FloorBox, eq.Comments, eq.SerialNo, eq.Model, eq.Brand, eq.TagNo, eq.PurchaseLease, eq.WarrantyExpDate, eq.PhoneType, eq.PhoneNum, eq.CellNumber, eq.DataNumber, eq.SIDNumber, eq.Carrier FROM dbo.EMPLOYEES AS E LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EMPLOYEES_EQUIP AS empeq ON empeq.EmployeeID = E.EmployeeID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIPMENT AS eq ON eq.EquipID = empeq.EquipID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.EQUIP_TYPE AS eqtype ON eqtype.EquipTypeID = eq.EquipTypeID WHERE E.EmployeeID = @EmployeeID and eq.SerialNo=@SerialNoGO Also, when a user selects the select button in either Employee search or Equipment search it redirects them to info.aspx. Should I create a different aspx page for both? But I don't believe I should do that. I don't know if I gave you enough information or not. But if you could give examples that would be wonderful! Thanks so much Nickie
