I Need Fresh Eyes On A Simple Sql Query

Apr 20, 2006

greets, im coding a few queries to a table. im storing sets of records into the table, each set of records will haev a different batch id. so basically 2 sets of records can occupy this table at the same time, and their batch id is the main key (with 2 other fields also being PKs). i want to compare the 2 sets in the same table and get the differences:
1. records that were added
2. records that were updated
3. records that were deleted

ive written queries for the added records, and the updated records but i cant get the query for finding deleted records. the logic looks good to me but im obviously missing something so i could use a fresh pair of eyes.
here is the table def:

Code:


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[UPCXREF_BATCH] (
[BATCH_ID] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[CHAIN_CODE] [char] (5) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[UPC] [char] (16) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[ITM_CODE] [char] (6) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[ITM_CATEGORY] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[CREATE_DATE] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[UPCXREF_BATCH] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_UPCXREF_BATCH] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BATCH_ID],
[CHAIN_CODE],
[UPC]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO



and here are the queries ive gotten so far

Code:


/* This section retrieves all UPDATED records */
SELECT 'U' as FLAG, b2.CHAIN_CODE as CHAIN_CODE, b2.UPC, b2.ITM_CODE, b2.ITM_CATEGORY
FROM UPCXREF_BATCH b2 INNER JOIN UPCXREF_BATCH b1
ON b2.CHAIN_CODE=b1.CHAIN_CODE
AND b2.UPC=b1.UPC
AND (b2.ITM_CODE<>b1.ITM_CODE OR b2.ITM_CATEGORY <> b1.ITM_CATEGORY )
WHERE b2.BATCH_ID='BTC0002' AND b1.BATCH_ID='BTC0001'



/* This section retrieves all NEW records */

SELECT 'A' as FLAG, CHAIN_CODE, UPC, ITM_CODE, ITM_CATEGORY
FROM UPCXREF_BATCH
WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0002'
AND (CHAIN_CODE NOT IN (SELECT CHAIN_CODE FROM UPCXREF_BATCH WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0001')
OR UPC NOT IN (SELECT UPC FROM UPCXREF_BATCH WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0001'))




here was my attempt to get deleted records which looks like it makes sense but isnt working

Code:


SELECT 'D' as FLAG, CHAIN_CODE, UPC, ITM_CODE, ITM_CATEGORY
FROM UPCXREF_BATCH
WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0001'
AND CHAIN_CODE NOT IN (SELECT CHAIN_CODE FROM UPCXREF_BATCH WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0002')
AND UPC NOT IN (SELECT UPC FROM UPCXREF_BATCH WHERE BATCH_ID='BTC0002')



here batch 'BTC0001' is the older set of records that already existed and batch 'BTC0002' is the new set we just inserted into the table. am i missing something else?

Incorrect Query Results, Could Use Fresh Eyes

Jun 4, 2007

I have three tables:

Category: category id, category name, more…
Topic: topic id, topic name, category id, more…
Post: post id, post text, topic id, more…

I need help with a query to display the following:

Category name, # of topics, # of posts

Example:
Category.........................Topics.....Posts
SQL Stored Procedures.........12........562


It’s coming along but there are some problems, ASP.NET actually has 2 posts not 1. And the java totals are correct but it should be Java, 3, 10 (all in one line)
Category.....Topics...Posts
ASP.NET.........2........1
C#................1........1
Java..............1........1
Java..............1........2
Java..............1........7


Overview: use category id to get count of topics then use the topic id to get the count of posts.


SELECT C.CategoryName, T.ThreadCount AS Threads, T.PostCount AS Posts
FROM Category AS C LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT tt.CategoryID, PostID.PostCount, COUNT(tt.ThreadName) AS ThreadCount
FROM Thread AS tt LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT ThreadID, COUNT(PostID) AS PostCount
FROM Post AS P
GROUP BY ThreadID) AS PostID
ON tt.ThreadID = PostID.ThreadID
GROUP BY tt.CategoryID, PostID.PostCount) AS T
ON C.CategoryID = T.CategoryID
WHERE (C.CategoryID = T.CategoryID)
GROUP BY C.CategoryName, T.ThreadCount, T.PostCount
ORDER BY C.CategoryName

Thanks in advance

SQL Server 2012 :: Query Tuning With Each Run Of Fresh / Blank CACHE

Jun 4, 2015

I am using SQL Server 2012 Express.

I am doing performance tuning of SP/Query in Dev-Test environment.

I found that SQL Server caches plan between successive executions.

So if I test/execute SP 10 times, after 1st or 2nd execution, SQL server will pull-up plan-info from CACHE...Not from SQL SERVER Or Database...

Means i am not getting correct answer...

I found this 2 commands:

DBCC FREEPROCCACHE

DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS

But they say that executing above command might interfere/bother other people executing other query/sp on this server.

They also say that: Freeing the plan cache causes, for example, a stored procedure to be recompiled instead of reused from the cache. This can cause a sudden, temporary decrease in query performance.

Part of query was using Dynamic-SQL executed with EXEC command.

I replaced that with SP_EXECUTESQL.

How can I start testing of each SP-run with Fresh/Blank CACHE ?

A Second Set Of Eyes

Apr 10, 2007

This is more of a "does anyone see something I'm missing" post versus a real problem.

What I'm doing is modifying a script I found in BOL. The script iterates through all the tables in a database and performs a SHOWCONTIG on all the tables. For those tables at a certain level of fragmentation, it does an INDEXDEFRAG. What I'd like to add to this is a piece that will iterate through all databases as well.

I'm close but no cigar. I've posted the code below. If anyone has any insight into where I may be going wrong, it would be greatly appreciated!

Need Another Pair Of Eyes Sql 'Order By'

Feb 9, 2006

my page suddenly stopped working when I wasn't working on it and it seems to be down to the 'ORDER BY' part of my SQL. I'm here alone as usual and I need someone to glance at the sql strings below. (yes, I do need the select *)
If I run this in SQL Manager it works fine:
SELECT * from dest_search WHERE trip_type like 'Trekking' ORDER BY start_date
if I do the same from my asp page it fails but if I leave out 'ORDER BY start_date' it works.

the error I get is:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e21'
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

/Newindex/trip_types.asp, line 53

line 53 is the 'desc = oRS...' bizarrely
oRS.Open strSQL, oConn, 2, 3
oRS.moveFirst
Do while not oRS.eof
country = oRS("country")
53---> desc = oRS("description")
url_link = oRS("url_link")
startDate = oRS("start_date")
endDate = oRS("end_date")
trip = oRS("trip_type")
difficulty = oRS("difficulty")
not all the descriptions are filled in (some are null) but that doesn't stop SQL manager from working or unordered results coming up fine in my web page.

any comments gratefully received thanks.

Fresh SQL 2000 To SP4 Gives Error

Jan 5, 2007

Hi,

I'm trying to Service Pack 4 a fresh installation of SQL 2000 (a named instance called 'SQLSERVER2000') and get the error "Installation of the Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine package failed. (-2147467259) 0x80004005 Unspecified Error" towards the end of the process thus I cannot service Pack my fresh installation of SQL 2000. I have done this many times before on other machines, but its not working for me this time.

At http://www.dbforums.com/ ( http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198047 ) someone ran into this problem and mentioned to re-install Microsoft Full-Text Search. I have followed the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827449 but run into problems at step 2C. At step 2C it says to start the Microsoft Search service via the Services console, but Microsoft Search was nowhere to be found.

Going back a step to Step 2B it says that all registry keys that were previously-deleted are now available and the previously-deleted 'MSSearch' folder is recreated. I took a look, but both the keys and folder WERE NOT there.

It is a fresh OS installation of MS Windows 2003 Standard SP1, 768MB RAM and is running fine.

Can you please point me in the right direction here?

Brad.

Wipeout Old Database And Start Fresh

Jun 23, 2007

Hi everyone I have been trying hard to unserstand the way my isp does things sort of a communication gap I guess. The problem is I want to use the personal website... yes I know this is a SQL forum and that is what I am going to get at. I having a problems with the database aspect of the whole situtation, I can't creat a aspnetdb.mdf on their server because that name aready exists and I am assuming that it is the system and not a user that ows it. Also I can't name the other database personal.mdf either for the same reasons, so someone at the isp has had me creat a different name database during the install process of the application and that worked fine for a little while and now it does not work no more and I am getting old faster than I'd like. So here is my plan my plan is to wipe out the current database for the application on my workstation but first make a list of tables and then create a new database for that web application. So I ask is it feasible and what do I have to look out for and if it is not to much to ask what steps might take to accomplish such a task. I want to thank anybody that is willing to help me in this matter.

Fresh Installation Of Sql Server 200 Enterprise

Fresh 2005 Install Best Practices

Oct 16, 2007

I have just completed a default install of MS SQL Server 2005 x64 edition on a 1 processor Quad core, 8GB, Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 R2 machine in an Active Directory Domain. It has 2 arrays configured with 2) 36Gb drives mirrored for the OS as C: and 3) 147Gb drives in a RAID5 array as E: drive.

I am simply the server guy who was asked to install SQL server for some projects in the future. The company will be bring in people to to the dev.

I wanted to setup the server as best as I can and so I've been searching around for "best practices" for fresh installs.

Anyone have any suggestions on things to configure/setup to improve the performance of the default install?

In addition, I want to redirect the databases to the E: drive and separate them from the OS drive (C:). Does anyone have any information on doing this? I have searched and found a few articles, but thought I would ask first.

It is probably noticeable that I have limited SQL configuration skills.

Thanks,

Ignore UPGRADE During Fresh Install?

Oct 15, 2007



Is it possible for SQL 2005 Express SP2 to ignore the UPGRADE parameter during a commandline install? We would like to use one commandline to handle both a fresh intstall and an upgrade depending on which is needed.

Does it make any difference which order the commandline parameters are used?

Do I need to write something to check if an upgrade or fresh install is needed and then feed the appropriate parameters?



Thanks

Network Integration For Fresh Install Of 2005

Aug 14, 2006

I am working as a consultant on a project to upgrade an Access 2000 db to SQL Server. My client has bought off on everything, and they're ordering a new dedicated box this week. They're getting a rackmount machine running Windows Server and SQL Server 2005.

My expectation was that their IT people would take care of administrative & security issues such as setting the machine up, installing & starting SQL Server and configuring the proper accounts. Suprisingly though, they're going to mount the machine in the rack, turn it on and let me do all of this.

I'm new at SQL Server, but I'm comfortable working with database objects (tables, views, etc...) I'm not so comfortable with the networking or administrative side of things. It took me a couple of hours to be able to connect to the DB on my desktop machine over my home network. You can see why I'm intimidated at the prospect of getting things integrated & running on a pretty large corporate network.

Maybe I'm overblowing this, but this just gives me the willies.

Are my fears justified? Am I going to be ok if I just follow the standard procedures for allowing TCP/IP connections to the server? Am I going to have to deal with firewalls? (I think I know the answer - "it depends on their network.." - that's what I'm scared of.. I don't know anything about their network, and I don't know enough about networking in general to figure things out..)

Are there any other best practices that I should follow for a fresh install?

In-place Upgrade Vs Fresh Install 2005 From 2000

Apr 21, 2008

hello, what is the general consensus on installing SQL 2005. I usually run a backup of SQL 2000 dbs and then restore on SQL 2005 and change compatibility to 9.0. Is it the right way to upgrade? I'm only asking because I also did one db in-place to SQL 2005 and thought it went well until I browsed my system dbs. All of them are missing tables that usually appear in SQL 2005 system dbs. Other than that I haven't run into too many problems.

Vista X64 Ultimate + SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition (fresh Install)

Feb 22, 2008



Hi Everyone,

I was playing around with SQL2k5 Express, but decided to download Enterprise using my MSDN subscription. I installed it, but none of the services are running. I don't understand why?

I've checked the requirments and I notice that Vista x64 is not on the list for compatible OS's.

I do get this when trying to install:


- SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)



Messages

SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility


Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.

Also, during the install, Componoents to Install: All the services are greyed out... is that because they can't be installed or because they're going to be installed by default?


Anyone else have it running on Vista Ultimate x64? Am I doing something wrong or does it just not install on this version of Vista?

Cheers,
Mike Avelar

Simple SQL Query -- Perhaps You Can Help

May 28, 2006

I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere.  That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help.  Here's what's going on:
I have a "Documents" table.  Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table.  Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships.  Let's call that table BD.
When I create a document it creates a row in D.  Let's call that D1, D2...DN.  When I create a benefit it creates a row in B.  Let's call that B1, B2...BN
When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table.  Now here's what my challenge is.  Suppose I have these entries in my tables:
D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3
Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2
When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1.  In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added.  How do I write a SQL query to do this?
Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3)
SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL)
Any thoughts?

Simple Query

Jan 7, 2005

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:

Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:

Code:


-----
| ID |
-----
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
------


Would return something like:

Code:


----------------
| ID | Count |
----------------
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
-----------------


This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.

When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.

Simple SQL Query

Sep 19, 2005

Hi folks,

I am a complete newbie to SQL. I have a simple query to make in SQL, but I'm not being able to construct the statement properly. I've already tried googling this info, but with little luck. If someone could help me here, I'd be very thankful.

The problem:

I have a table with a list of questions. All questions have a serial number. The query has to return whether a particular question is the last one in the table or not (according to serial no.)

Logically, this is the query -


Code:


select islast = 0
if count(*) from question where serialno > $serial != 0
else
select islast = 1;



The '$serial' part will get replaced dynamically before query execution through another program.

Any idea how to code this in valid SQL? I would like to make it a simple statement and not a stored procedure. Thanks.

Simple Sql Query..help Please

Sep 17, 2004

Hey.. hope someone can help, i desperatly need some assistance. I have a few query issues but first things first.. one is that i have a table of messages and users having an online conversation, so fields are msg id, subject, topic, message, user, reply to and time it was sent. Im trying to do a query that will tell me which user sent the most messages, ive tried using count and stuff like that but not really getting anywhere. It will basically have to count each time a user has spoken and then give me the name of the user that has sent the most messages, ive been playing around with stuff like
SELECT Count(*) AS Expr1
FROM Table1
WHERE User='andro8472' OR User='bumies';

That will count the times those users have spoken but cant get further

any help would be greatly appreciated really stuck at the mo..

What Should Be A Simple Query

Feb 29, 2008

I'm having a bad day as I just cannot get a query to work and its doing my head in and it should be a simple query.

I'll try and explain what I need.

Have a simple query with one join, this is it so far:

SELECT DISTINCT Replace(StaffName,'''''',' ') AS StaffName,OutReason,OutStartDate
,OutEndDate,OutStartTime,OutEndTime,OutID
FROM vwOutOfOffice
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwStaffList ON OutUser=StaffID
WHERE OutComplete=0

What I'm having trouble with adding to the WHERE is as follows, I need a list of Staff who are out of the office based on the various criteria:

Example
Current date=29/02/2008
Current time=14:00

Start date---End Date----Start Time--End Time--Should Appear
27/02/2008--28/02/2008--09:00------17:00-----No (because of date)
28/02/2008--03/03/2008--08:00------17:00-----Yes
28/02/2008--29/02/2008--17:00------17:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--12:00------14:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--14:30------17:00-----No (because of time)
02/03/2008--02/03/2008--08:00------10:00-----No (because of date)

There may be others I've missed but as long as the dates combined with the times match correctly I need the records to appear.

Please help before I end up putting my head through the monitor.

Basically, grouping/numbering the rows by column c1. The number of distinct c1 columns and distinct c1,c2 columns is varying.
