Hi all,
I have a temp guy who is doing some work for us (seriously, I never wrote the query).
Now this is the scenario (hold tight). So we have a stored procedure as follows...
ALTER PROCEDURE createSegmentPoints AS
DECLARE @fLat INTEGER
DECLARE @fLon INTEGER
DECLARE @segId INTEGER
-- declare cursor to return the from lat and lon for all segments that do not have address point 109.
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR (SELECT From_Latitude, From_Longitude, id AS segment_id FROM Segments WHERE SegmentType != 109)
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @fLat, @fLon, @segId
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- insert into table the segId, from lat, from lon and returned segment id from function.
INSERT INTO test VALUES (@segId,@fLat,@fLon,dbo.points_test(@fLat,@fLon))
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @fLat, @fLon, @segId
END
CLOSE c1
DEALLOCATE c1
As you can see here I am using a Cursor, which in turn calls a function
with each row that is processed in the recordset. The function that is
called is as follows...
ALTER FUNCTION points_test(@x INTEGER, @y INTEGER)
RETURNS INTEGER
AS
BEGIN
-- function to find the closed segment point with address point 109 to the segment specified in procedure.
DECLARE @tempDistance FLOAT(4)
SET @tempDistance = 1000000
DECLARE @id, @seg, lat, lon INTEGER
DECLARE @distance, @xd, @yd FLOAT
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR (SELECT from_latitude, from_longitude, id FROM segments WHERE segmenttype = 109)
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @lat, @lon, @id
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- calucations to get distance.
SET @xd = (@lat-@x)
SET @yd = (@lon-@y)
SET @distance = SQRT((@xd*@xd) + (@yd*@yd))
-- test if you have shortest distance.
IF (@distance < @tempDistance)
BEGIN
SET @tempDistance = @distance
SET @seg = @id
END
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @lat,@lon, @id
END
CLOSE c1;
DEALLOCATE c1;
RETURN @seg
END
(This function works out an equation to get the shortest distance from
two parameters passed to the function calculated with data from each
row returned within the cursor)
As you can see here, this function contains ANOTHER cursor!! Ouch. The
fact that their is an SQL query in a function is a killer, but having
another embedded cursor there is also a killer - this has virtually
killer the application.
So, how best is it for me to correct this. Should I turn the function
into a stored procudure? But even if I do this, the nested cursor still
remains. I was thinking maybe to have the SQRT equations within the
SELECT expression and then wrapped in a MIN() to maybe get the lowest
value.
Any ideas would be of great help.
Thanks

Morning everyone,
I have a sp that I've created that is to show me everyone table name and column name using nested cursors. However when I execute the procedure it doesn't show me the names, it just tells me the command completed successfully. Here is the code:
CREATE PROCEDURE uspSeeAllViews
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @strMessageVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @strColumnVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @strViewVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @strCommandVARCHAR(250)
DECLARE crsViews CURSOR FOR
SELECT
name AS strView
FROM
sysobjects
WHERE
type = 'U'
OPEN crsViews
FETCH NEXT FROM crsViews INTO @strView
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
DECLARE crsColumns CURSOR FOR
SELECT
name AS strColumn
FROM
syscolumns
WHERE
name = @strView
OPEN crsColumns
FETCH NEXT FROM crsColumns INTO @strColumn
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
PRINT @strView + ':' + @strColumn
FETCH NEXT FROM crsColumns INTO @strColumn
END
CLOSE crsColumns
DEALLOCATE crsColumns
FETCH NEXT FROM crsViews INTO @strView
END
CLOSE crsViews
DEALLOCATE crsViews
Thanks for looking, any ideas??

I have a table like:
Converted_Mortgage_Number Activity_Date Activity_Time Sequence_Number, History_Text
100 2006-01-20 84936 1 Sent a reminder letter
105 2006-01-23 134502 1 Called, but no reply
100 2006 01-24 104532 1 Asked to call again later
100 2006-01-24 104532 2 when it is more convenient
100 2006-01-24 104532 3 and the person I require is available
I wish to concantenate the History_text fields together for records with the same Converted_Mortgage_Number, Activity_Date and Activity_Time so:
100 2006-10-24 104532 Asked to call again later when it is moreconvenient and the person I require is available.
To do this I amusing nested cursors so:
USE ar
GO
DECLARE @mortgage INT,
@date datetime,
@time INT,
@getMortgage CURSOR,
@notes varchar(MAX),
@notesComplete varchar(MAX),
@getDetail CURSOR
SET @getMortgage = CURSOR FOR
SELECT Converted_Mortgage_Number, Activity_Date, Activity_Time
FROM format_history
GROUP BY Converted_Mortgage_Number, Activity_Date, Activity_Time
ORDER BY Converted_Mortgage_Number ASC
OPEN @getMortgage
FETCH NEXT
FROM @getMortgage INTO @mortgage, @date, @time
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @notes = ''
SET @getDetail = CURSOR FOR
SELECT History_Text
FROM format_history
WHERE Converted_Mortgage_Number = @mortgage AND Activity_Date = @date AND Activity_Time = @time
ORDER BY Sequence_Number
OPEN @getDetail
SET @notesComplete = ''
FETCH NEXT FROM @getDetail INTO @notes
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
@notesComplete = @notesComplete + @notes + ' '
FETCH NEXT FROM @getDetail INTO @notes
END
PRINT @notesComplete
CLOSE @getDetail
DEALLOCATE @getDetail
FETCH NEXT
FROM @getMortgage INTO @mortgage, @date, @time
END
CLOSE @getMortgage
DEALLOCATE @getMortgage
GO
But I am getting the error: 'Incorrect syntax near the keyword CLOSE, incorrect syntax near @notesComplete'.
Can anyone please see where I am going wrong?

All,
I have a question on a nested Cursor statement, I am having problem getting the @@Fetch_Status to work correctly...
I can get the first cursor to fetch and the the second cursor to fetch all of it rows but when it reaches the end. It should fetch the first cursors next row and @@fetch_Status should be 0.
Is there a way around this???
Thanks,
~Lee

I have a Master/Detail table setup - let's call the master "Account" and the detail "Amount". I also have a "black box" stored procedure (BlackBox_sp) which carries out a lot of complex processing.
What I need to do is, for each Account, I need to iterate thtough it's Amount records and call the black box each time. Once I've finished going through all the Amount records, I need to call the black box again once for the Account. This must be done with the Account & Amount rows in a specific order.
So I have something along the lines of
Code Block
DECLARE Total int
DECLARE Account_cur
OPEN Account_cur
FETCH NEXT FROM Account_cur
WHILE FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET Total = 0
DECLARE Amount_cur
OPEN Amount_cur
FETCH NEXT FROM Amount_cur
WHILE FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET Total = Total + Amount
EXEC BlackBox_sp (Amount)
END
CLOSE Amount_cur
EXEC BlackBox_sp (Total)
END
CLOSE Account_cur
Any tips on another approach would be appreciated given the contraints I have.
Greg.

I need to use a nested cursor in SQL server 2005. I have never done this before. The problem here is that I need to use "@@FETCH_STATUS' twice.Once for my inner loop and once for my outer loop. If there is a way to use two different @@FETCH_STATUS variables at once, I would like to know how.
Here is my code. The inner loop is currently pseudo code and I just need to figure out how to code it.
DECLARE @mycur1 CURSORDECLARE @mycur2 CURSORDECLARE @InMarketId INTSET @InMarketId=575 -- Hard code for now. Just for testing.DECLARE @test VARCHAR(10)SET @mycur1 = CURSORSET FORSELECT SubDivisionId FROM SubDivision WHERE MarketId=@InMarketIdOPEN @mycur1FETCH NEXT FROM @mycur1 INTO @testWHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
PRINT @test-- Begin Inner Nested Loop-- FOR EACH SubDivisionId in SubDivisionSubMarket SDSM delete from SubMarket SM Where SDSM.SubMarketId=SM.SubMarketId
-- End of Inner nested Loop
FETCH NEXT FROM @mycur1 INTO @test ENDDEALLOCATE @mycur1------------------------------------------Here are my three tables I am scripting agains and a description of each.

I'm migrating a fu... dts to SSIS. That's fine. I've got a derived column task for stuff as cdbl(DTSSource("Col014") /100).
But how the source plain file have a lot of columns suddenly I find this:
Function Main()
Fecha=Right(DTSSource("Col014"),2) & "-" & Mid(DTSSource("Col014"),5,2) & "-" & left(DTSSource("Col014"),4)
If IsDate(Fecha) then
DTSDestination("FechaOp") =Fecha
Else
DTSDestination("FechaOp")=null
End IF
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
So that 'Derived Column' is useless at all for to encompass this rule unless to anyone be able to tell me how to implement that conditional snippet inside...
I'll be to use a Script Component Task only for that dammed column when the rest ones already defined.

Does anybody know of some utility or code or script which I could use to rapidly change the server name in the connections of a fairly large number of DTS packages?
I'm convinced that this must be possible from code using the DTS libraries, but I just don't have time to sit down and figure it all out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I have just started in Sql 6 months ago. I was an IT major in graduate school and am now in my late 30's (career change). It took me 4 years to finally get what I thought was my dream job. Well, I was promised training which I have yet to receive and bascially went from doing basic queries that I did in class in college to doing advance Sql - stored procs, etc. I completely hate it. I do not know if it is from the lack of training or if it just not for me. I am completely bored out of mind. I am also tired of struggling everyday to complete assignments. The first 2 assignments I received were way out of my league. I was told this by a project mgr who did a similiar assignment and they have years of sql experience and it took her 3 months with assistance to complete it. I have been with the company for almost 6 years. I am not sure if I should just complete my current assignments and ask if they can reassign me to a different IT department, look for a new job or just continue to struggle and pull my hair out. Please give me some feedback as to how you would handle this situation.

I really dislike the Management Studio in SQL Server 2005. Having tabsis nice but everything else about it really sucks. What don't you likeabout it? Maybe someone at M$ will read this and actually make somechanges --- for the better (sigh, I wish but I won't hold my breath).For all the $$$$$ Microsoft spends you think they could do better. Itseems every 'new and improved' version has a worse UI than the onebefore. I can hardly stand to use Visio any more. Word has so manydamned annoying features that I spend most of time trying to figure outhow to turn them off rather than getting real work down.Living in the shadow of the evil empire I run into M$ dweebs all thetime. One of the biggest problems M$ has is arrogance. They 'knowbetter' than the whole user community.Microsoft get a clue. Trying listening once in a while.

...and it is because...
when i drag and drop my script file into query window unlike query analyzer which selects the current database, new MSSMS selects the users 'default' database.
we maintain 1 script file for each sp/function and ddl/views groupe related stuff in 1 or more files
in query analyzer I just have to select DB where i want to deploy scripts and drag and drop the files from explorer and then then
1) press F5 (to run)
2) press CTL + F4 (to close window)
3) repeat till all scripts are deployed
and now in MSSMS
1) select db (this step is really painful especially when i have to deploy more than 1 script/file)
2) press F5
3) press CTL + F4
4) repeat
is there any settings that could change the behavior of SMS2K5 like old QA2K?
well what i cant do here is change default db to the tartget db before deploying and switch back after deploying (but not a true solution)
thanks in advance

I have a backup database task that runs at 4 am.
I added a maintenance CleanUp task pointing to the right folder
I checked the include first-level subfolder box, and delete files based on the age of the file at task run time
I specified "delete files older than " 1 day
But the cleanup task is not working, I have to manually go a delete the files myself.
Am I missing something? should I run the maintenance task first?
and then the backup task?

Hi,
I'm writting a stored procedure to insert new rows into a table, but I need to loop through an exsiting table and create a new record for every row in the old table. So I think what I'm needing to use is a cursor, but I've never worked with cursors before, and I just want to check that I have the right idea on what they are used for and if what I have so far looks ok.
This what I have so far, the StoreFees table only has 5 rows:
DECLARE @StoreFee as smallmoney
DECLARE @StoreLineID as int
DECLARE MyStoreFees CURSOR
FORWARD_ONLY
FOR
SELECT LineId, StoreFee FROM StoreFees ORDER BY StoreFee
OPEN MyStoreFees
FETCH NEXT FROM MyStoreFees
INTO @StoreLineId, @StoreFee
--Do my Inserts into other tables
INSERT INTO OtherTable (...,...,.., @StoreFee)
...
...
-- Done working with that row
CLOSE MyStoreFees

I have two procedures. One works well, and the other has a small glitch I cannot figure out. I have placed >>>> at the place where the problem is occuring.
The first procedure, which is working great, is applying a stored procedure to many servers (remote procedure call), but is also polling the local server via a linked server connection. This way, all servers are polled equally.
The second procedure is actually using a SELECT statment to query a system table. This procedure works well on all servers except the local one. I get this error message:
Server: Msg 3910, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Transaction context in use by another session.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error]
There seems to be a connection issue. Can someone help me work around this?

Please help resolve a problem (and debate!).
We have an app using VB with Access as the front end to SQL. SQL statments were built and sent
directly to the server obtaining set-oriented results. Response was fair.
We have a new app developed by an "expert" using VB & Interdev that was to be ported for use on
the internet. The app was designed using the same logic to build the SQL statements, but it is also
using cursors to retrieve all data. RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE!
The designer says that to access SQL over the Web, cursor use is a MUST!
True? Not True?
If true, and I am stuck with an app using cursors, any basic suggestions on where to look to improve
response time?
Thanks for any input.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 6.5 and I have a VB routine that updates a field in a tble so it can be used in a primary key. This is run after input of data using bcp. I have noticed on several posts re: using cursors to move through a recordset and was wondering if I could use this functionality to replace my VB routine. I checked the archives and found several messages but I am not sure where to start. My VB routine is:
I first would query the data to return all rows where the value of R08SegmentValue= Null. Then I move through the resultset changing the value of the field R08Segments.
***********************Start of VB Code****************

sTReportHeaderIdx = !ReportIdx & !HeaderIdx
sPReportHeaderIdx = sTReportHeaderIdx
End With
bCount = 1
'loop through rs and when streportheaderidx changes reset bCount to 1
'otherwise increment bcount by 1 and write to field R08SegmentValue
Do While rs1.EOF = False And blnContinue = True
DoEvents
Do While sPReportHeaderIdx = sTReportHeaderIdx
With rs1
.Edit
!R08SegmentValue = bCount
.Update
bCount = bCount + 1
sPReportHeaderIdx = sTReportHeaderIdx
.MoveNext
If Not rs1.EOF Then sTReportHeaderIdx = !ReportIdx & !HeaderIdx
End With
Loop
sPReportHeaderIdx = sTReportHeaderIdx
bCount = 1
Loop
In the end my data should look like
ReportIdx HeaderIdx R08SegmentValue
1 1 1
1 1 2
2 1 1
2 1 2
2 1 3
3 1 1
3 1 2
3 1 3
1 2 1
1 2 2
1 2 3
etc..
Can this be done via an sp? How would I go about writing something like this?
Thanks in advance...any assistance you could provide would be appreciated!

I hope someone can help me with this, as BOL didn't get me the answer I am looking for.
I want to write an update step that will transform the following:
1 abc
1 def
2 lmn
3 rst
4 tuv
4 xyz
4 jkl
5 pqr
into this:
1 abc,def
2 lmn
3 rst
4 tuv,xyz,jkl
5 pqr
In other words, I want to concatenate multiple instances into 1 record per row, but I am not familiar with working with cursors or loops.
Thanks in advance!

According go textbooks and T-SQL developers experience - using cursors is not recommended, more over they say: avoid cursors where it's possible.
Could someone please recommend any other way to go through the recordset(resultset) forward and backward to perform some search or calculations, if there are a specific requirement for not using front-end tools such as VB or MS Access(please don't ask why), other words - all the work must be performed in T-SQL stored procedure.
Thanks

I have a stored proc that merges records from an undeduped table to a deduped table. It is running really slowly. Merging 70 million records against a deduped 70 million is taking 115 hours and counting on decent hardware. Very slow.
I suspect there is significant room for optimization here. Some of my ideas:
- Write/update back to the cursor rather than executing separate UPDATE statements.
- Try a dynamic cursor instead of a READ ONLY cursor.
- Dump new elements to a separate table or a file and then do a single large INSERT.
Anyone else think any of these ideas will work? Can anyone think of something better?
BTW, I've tried to replaced the procedural cursor code with set based UPDATES/INSERTS but the short version of the story is that that route just didn't pan out. I know that is very common optimization advice.
I've made minor simplifications to the code:
- Took out code to handle last line
- Took out progress logging code
- Removed some DECLARE statements. These are needed to run but it should be obvious what they were supposed to be.

Trying to understand cursors a little better, found this in one of the dbs I inherited. Just trying ot figure out why they put it there cause no one else knows anything about it.
DECLARE [TM #] CURSOR
FOR SELECT * FROM [2004 TERMS];

These guys I work with have some sql scripts they run over night and they bog down the server and the machine will be gummed up in the morning etc..
Well, I finally looked at this processing and the culprit is cursors. And cursors within cursors. I would like to just get some opinions about what would be more processor efficient so I can send my boss a link to this thread.
Using a cursors to pull records and update them.
vs
Create script using a scripting language that pulls the records through ADO, loops through them and performs updates as necessary using update statements and the like.
Be nice. I have to work with these guys.

In what situations would you use a cursor over a t-SQL update/select statement

Hey guys
I have heard cursors are not the way to go. But I am wondering if/how to get out of a situation that I am using a cursor in...in order to make my stored proc run more effieciently.
I am quite novice in my abilities and I am completely stumped on how to get around using them.
As far as INSERTs go, I think I can work around that, but how would I write UPDATE statements for all lines of a table to say pull a key from another table to reference them together?
I usually make my SELECT statement in the cursor, then update against the criteria from the SELECT statement. Now this is quite a slow process when I am updating 100K records.
Any help or pointers or a link to a good tutorial would be woderful.
Thanks
tibor
