I'm pretty new to SQL and certainly new to SQL Server, so this is no doubt a simple question, but how can I take a row of data (say row 117) and swap it with another specified row of data? I know it sounds odd, but the key for each row is automatically generated so I don't want to mess with that, so I just want to swap the other fields.
Here's an example of what I mean:
----------------------------------------------
ID | headline | content | newstype | date |
----------------------------------------------
117 | test | asdfgasd| industry | 06/06|
118 | test2 | adsfg as| company | 06/06|
----------------------------------------------
What i've discovered is that the order of data in the rows isn't correct, so I want to maintain the ID fields seeing as they're in numeric order, but then use that ID to grab the rest of the row (117 for example) and replace the data for 118 with 117's data. Then do the same with 118's original data....
I need to do this because all the related rows in my table were posted on the same date, so other than that they appear on screen based on where they appear in the table, which doesn't match what the client wants...
Sorry for the long post, but as a beginner with SQL I wanted to make sure I made sense!
I need to swap two rows in a table so that i can give the user a choice to move the row data up and down. The top and bottom row values may not be in the serial order. I am using MS Sql 2000. Is there any way to do that or its really difficult big process. I really stuck with this problem can you help me out, please friends.. Your help will greatly appreciated.. Thank you very much
hi, we have got a new server at work running SBS 2003. the old server was SBS 2000 and it has a database on it. Both are running the SQL server program. Can anyone give me instructions to transfer these over (i have no idea how). i realise this has probably been asked before but i dont have the time to search so if someone could link a thread with instructions that would be good. cheers.
What is a good method/mechanism to swap the position of multiplecolumns?For instance, tblXZY has the followings columns and respectivepositions:tblXZY======xyzUUID 1fn 2ln 3phone 4email 5city 6state 7....Now, I need to make city as 2 and state as 3. BTW, the tblXYZ tablehas data there. Copy/select all the data into a new table withdesired column position would require constraints re-mapping etc.,which seems quite a bit hassle.Thanks.
I have setup logshipping in sql 2005. i have a primary and secondary server only. Suppose for maintenace i bring primary down. . i have to manually bring the secondary server online. usnig restore databse with restore.
1) so far so good. But what now. How can i re-sync the old primary with the new primary?
2) can i return the original secondary back to standby mode so that the primary can resume its role and the log shipping process proceeds.
i need to update for example the eployee 1111 with employee 3333 but with swap ( take the value of employee 1111 in field- fld2,fld22,fld222 and swap value between employee 3333 in field- fld2,fld22,fld222 )
Code Snippet ---update eployee 1111 with employee 3333 -so if i put the value 2 than ------------------ swap value between 2 employee set empid1= 1111 set empid2=3333 value_swap=2 if value_swap=2 than update fld2,fld22,fld222 with fld2,fld22,fld222 ------------------- take the value of employee 1111 in field- fld2,fld22,fld222 and swap value between employee 3333 --------------------in field- fld2,fld22,fld222
Code Snippet ---update eployee 2222 with employee 1111 -so if i put the value 5 than ------------------ swap value between 2 employees set empid1= 1111 set empid2=2222 value_swap=5 if value_swap=5 than update fld5,fld55,fld555 with fld5,fld55,fld555 ------------------- take the value of employee 1111 in field- fld5,fld55,fld555 and swap value between employee 3333 --------------------in field- fld5,fld55,fld555
I've 2 measures that I would like to swap according to which member in a dimension are selected by the user:Ex.
[Measure].[A] [Measure].[B]
Dimension called TEMP with 2 members (HOT and COLD).So if the user choose HOT it should show [Measure].[A] and if the user choose COLD it should show [Measure].[B]If the dimension is not included in the analysis by the user or if no dimension attribute are choosed then it should default to [Measure].[A].How to do that as Calculated Script in the SSAS cube ?
I need swapping values in rows of tables based on primary.
I will explain my scenario with the below example.
ID         Name                 Value   ---         --------                --------Â
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â name1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 202 2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â name1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 203 3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â name2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 203 4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â name2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 202 5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â name3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 204
In the above example, I want to swap Value 202 and 203 but its not straight forward. I want to swap in a way that, I need to group by Name column and check if 203 comes first in the group then swap else don't.
In the above example, I need to swap the values for name2 but not for name1. Below query is performing a straight forward swap.
UPDATE TblTest SET Value = CASE WHEN Value =202 THEN203 ELSE202 END
We are hosting a 140 GB database on SQL Server Version 7 and Windows2000 Advanced Server on an 8-cpu box connected to a 15K rpm RAID 5SAN, with 4 GB of RAM (only 2 GB of which seem to be visible to theOS) and a 4 GB swap file. (The PeopleSoft CIS application will notpermit us to upgrade to SQL 2K.) We recently upgraded the server from4 to 8 cpus and the SAN disks from 10K to 15K drives. But we stillhave heavy SAN disk usage, sometimes at 100%, and read queues oftenaveraging 4 and peaking at 12.The CPUs are loaded at only 20-50%. (The politics are such that it iseasier to throw hardware at the problems.)We are looking into archiving, converting from RAID 5 to RAID 10, andat splitting the mdf file into several file groups in an attempt toget more disk heads into play. (We are also looking at rewriting theapplication to reduce the read volume and frequency.) Does anyone haveany other ideas?Incidentally, does swapfile get used when the physical memory equalsthe OS maximum? If the OS can only see 2 GB and we have 2 GB (actually4 GB) of memory, is the 4GB local swap file on the C drive unused?Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 12 buffers were considered and 12 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

We already integrated different client data to MDS with MS Excel plugin, now we want to push back updated or new added record to source database. is it possible do using MDS? Do we have any background sync process to which automatically sync data to and from subscriber and MDS?
When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...
I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD
I'm using Script Component to load data into Oracle DB due to the poor performance issue. Now, I found it will missing some data during the transmission. Please see the screenshot below:Â
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
and also this:
[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "1st level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "2nd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "3rd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.

I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected. It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file? ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination? anyone faced such errors before?

is there a step by step paper to get there? here is what i need to consider. I Iwill have many customers that will need their own set of records and access pages "branded for their company" each customer will have many clients. I am hosting this application on a windows 2003 server with SQL 2005 server enterprise.
I am using windows authentication, I have created a username in windows, then i added the windows user in SQL management studio in security, granted "DB Read" and "DB write" and again under the database security tab. still from the web authentication fails. i must be nissing a step or two?
I expect to set up a username for each database as i setup new customers.
RE: XML Data source .. Expression? Variable? Connection? Error: unable to read the XML data.
I want my XML Data source to be an expression as i will be looping through a directory of xml files.
I don't see the expression property or the connection property??
I tried setting the XMLData property to @[User::filename], but that results in:

I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table. The primary key of my SQL table is mapped to the Title column of my Sharepoint list. There is a possibility that duplicate values will be entered in the Title field of the Sharepoint list. So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
I have to extract, dayly a list of contacts on a exchange server in a table on our EDW on sql server 2005. Is it possible to get the information directly from a dataflow or i will have to developpe a script task ?
I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.
HiI'm having problems following the tutorial on creating a data access layer - http://www.asp.net/learn/dataaccess/tutorial01cs.aspx?tabid=63 - when I try to compile in Visual Studio 2005 I get namespace could not be found.
