Identify Range And Related Data From Look Up Table
Dec 27, 2007
I have a query/report that I need to create that needs to look at the size of a company and based on that size apply different rules. I am sure that this is not the only query/report I'll need to do using this and I'm also not so sure that the size ranges won't be changed in the future. Given this, I'd like to store the size ranges in a lookup(global) table. That way, if the ranges ever change I can just alter them in that table and not in all of the queries/reports that use them. What I need to figure out is how to join the live table with the look up table.
Specifically, here is what I have. The look up table would be:
Code Block
CREATE TABLE #gl_sizerange (
glsid int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
lowsize int,
highsize int,
sizecat varchar(10),
milestone varchar(25),
days int
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(1, 24, 'Small', 'Approach', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(1, 24, 'Small', 'Interview', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(1, 24, 'Small', 'Demonstrate', 21)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(1, 24, 'Small', 'Negotiate', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(1, 24, 'Small', 'Close', 7)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(25, 99, 'Medium', 'Approach', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(25, 99, 'Medium', 'Interview', 21)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(25, 99, 'Medium', 'Demonstrate', 21)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(25, 99, 'Medium', 'Negotiate', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(25, 99, 'Medium', 'Close', 7)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(100, 499, 'Large', 'Approach', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(100, 499, 'Large', 'Interview', 21)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(100, 499, 'Large', 'Demonstrate', 21)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(100, 499, 'Large', 'Negotiate', 14)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(100, 499, 'Large', 'Close', 7)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(500, 300000000, 'Super', 'Approach', 28)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(500, 300000000, 'Super', 'Interview', 35)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(500, 300000000, 'Super', 'Demonstrate', 28)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(500, 300000000, 'Super', 'Negotiate', 35)
INSERT into #gl_sizerange VALUES(500, 300000000, 'Super', 'Close', 35)
Then what I have is two more tables, one that indicates the size of the company and another that has the milestone contained within it and I will also calculate how long that milestone has been open and if it is longer than what is in the lookup table for that milestone and size range I need it returned in the report. Here are some quick sample table to represent that data (I've condensed the size and number of tables for the example):
Code Block
CREATE TABLE #en_entity (
enid int NOT NULL,
orgsize int,
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(1, 5)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(2, 18)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(3, 24)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(4, 25)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(5, 47)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(6, 101)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(7, 499)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(8, 500)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(9, 10000)
INSERT into #en_entity VALUES(10, 567890)
CREATE TABLE #op_opportunity (
opid int NOT NULL,
enid int NOT NULL,
milestone varchar(25),
daysopen int
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(1, 1, 'Approach', 5)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(2, 2, 'Interview', 18)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(3, 4, 'Negotiate', 24)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(4, 7, 'Demonstrate', 25)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(5, 7, 'Approach', 7)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(6, 9, 'Close', 35)
INSERT into #op_opportunity VALUES(7, 8, 'Close', 36)
So, given the sample data, I would expect the results to return me the following opids from the #op_opportunity table because they don't comply with what is in the look up table based on milestone, size and days open: 2,3,4,7
--Table 1 "Employee" CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]( [EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [EmployeeGID] ) GO ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID] FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID]) REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID]) GO ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch" CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch]( [BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [BranchGID] ) GO ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID] FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID]) REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID]) GO ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID --generated IDs = GID Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error: I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €śEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID". The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase", table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €śBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €śbranch€? and €śEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €śON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
PeopleID in People Table is the primarykey and foreign Key in PeopleCosts Table. PeopleID is an autonumber
The major fields in People Table are PeopleID | MajorVersion | SubVersion. I want to create a new copy of data for existing subversion (say from sub version 1 to 2) in the same table. when the new data is copied my PeopleID is getting incremented and how to copy the related data in the other table (PeopleCosts Table) with the new set of PeopleIDs..
I have two tables. When my user completes an insert of data in table (1), I would like the second "related" table (2) to be automatically populated with defaults. Is this possible? My logical approach to this is: 1. Build a handler for the OnInsert event of the first table 2. In the handler, call the Insert Command on the SQLDataSource for the second table with the defaults specified in the DataSource. What I'm not sure how to do is Step 2 or whats the best way. How do I call the Insertcommand programmatically for a DataSource? Or, is there a better way such as some kind of traditional hardwired SQL insert statement like in classical ASP? Or is there a way to programmatically call a stored procedure and if so is the 3rd approach the best way?
How exactly would someone do this best? It seems this would be a rather common thing someone might need to do.
Hey guys, I have created an asp.net page where users can select multiple items and then submit the form. I would like to return related items back. The catch is, I want to only return items that are related to all of the selected items. I've created a SQL Procedure that puts each of the inputted item's ItemId in to a temp table, I have a second table called RelatedItems which I use as my junction table that has ItemId, and ReleatedItemId, I then have my Item table that has the data I want to get to (I've excluded this because I have no trouble pulling out data once I have an ItemId) I can pull out all related ItemIds with a simple join, however I don't know where to start when it comes to pulling out only items related to all ItemIds in the @TempTable. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks, Matt
Hi all, First post on THIS forum...so be kind (I have my nomex suite on anyway, and am flameproof, but STILL!)
I have a table that consists of a bunch-o-gibberish, but essentially looks like this (for the sake of discussion):
PK RecID int PK StartDate smalldatetime PK EndDate smalldatetime Gibberish_1 varchar(zillions and zillions) Gibberish_2 int
OK, my query (get it? *LOL* I kill me) is this:
My PK date range is essentially a range indicating a "validity date range" or in other words - "this record applys to dates from StartDate to EndDate".
If I insert a new row, that I want to be "valid" from today on into the forseeable future. I'm thinking I would enter it with StartDate = today, and would like to figure out a good "MAXDATE" type value to put in the EndDate column so that:
1) I can find a record using a single date (i.e., the current date) and find the validation record (as defined above) - - - I'm not concerned about this part of the question, as I can build the simple query to do so).
2) NOT have to keep adjusting the EndDate to keep it ahead of the current date so that the query into the range will work.
Essentially, my question is this: What is a good value to put in the EndDate to mean "infinity" - - that will still work when I query using a single date designed to find the validation record with a range that includes it?
My boss suggested something like "January 1, 2040", but this bothers me, since my kids may be working here then :lol: and I don't want to have to force them into a Y2K-like issue where they now have to go adjust all the "maxdate" values. Anythoughts or conventions that I am unaware of here?
There is a simple SQL table ("mytable"). Say, it has 100 rows and 5 columns. One of the columns (say "time") contains timestamps across the whole day and the data in this column has the following format: hh:mm:ssAM/PM. So, the table looks like this:
time var1 var2 var3 var4
12:00:01PM value ... 12:00:05PM value 12:00:08PM value 12:00:20PM value 12:10:12PM value ...100 rows
How to create simple SQL request for extracting data between any 2 timestamps? For example, I need sub-table of the initial table containing all data values between 12:00:05PM and 12:00:20PM:
time var1 var2 var3 var4
12:00:05PM value 12:00:08PM value 12:00:20PM value
One of the tables in this database has a column named column_xyz.
There are over 800 tables, each with numerous columns. If I know that the column I am looking for is "column_xyz" is there an easy query I can do to identify all tables that contain that column?
Have a LOB error which provides the corrupt PageID and this recommends a DBCC CHECKDB. However I'm unable to identify what the base table for the PageID. DBCC PAGE does not provide base table info (I think), DBCC PGLINKAGE has been retired in SS2005 and DBCC READPAGE doesn't work either.
Does any know of a valid SS2005 command or technique which will allow my to identify the base table for a PageID???

I need to delete records from a table (Table1) which has a foreign key column in a related table (Table2).
Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?
I am new to SSIS (though have a decent amount of experience with SQL Server 2000), and am trying to design a data warehouse and eventually a comprehensive reporting solution.
Here is our setup: - We have ~150 studios all operating software which we designed (ie. we have control over the system that will be the Data Warehouse source). - All studios use merge replication back to Head Office (we maintain a duplicate of each of their databases).
From my limited understanding of Data Warehousing methodology, I believe that I should prepare a 'staging area' which contains all needed data from these databases. My question is how to do this in an efficient manner (without resorting to software-maintained timestamps in all the source tables - this would require significant modification to our software).
Since replication is already identifying which rows are new or updated, I'm wondering if there is some way to use this information to limit the information processed during the Data Warehouse updating process. I realize that I would still need to determine whether the row was updated or new, but it would cut down immensely on the number of rows processed.
I feel like I could be missing out on a simple way to do my data extraction from the source DBs. Does anyone have any advice?
I've attempted to identify a primary and foreign key in these two tables, but I am getting a bunch of errors re duplicate keys and column names needing to be unique.Perhaps the primary and foreign key I have identified don't meet the criteria?
CREATE TABLE StockNames ( -- Added Primary key to [stock_symbol] [stock_symbol] VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PK_stock_symbol PRIMARY KEY, [stock_name] VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL, [stock_exchange] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
I am in process to develop TSql code to identify change in data.
I read about Binary_checksum and hashbyte. Some people say hashbyte is better than binay_checksum as chances of collision are less.
But if we may consider following, chances exist in hashbyte too. My question is what is the best way to compare data to identify change (I can't configure CDC) ?
I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.

I was running an operation to shrink file/emptyfile a data file, and then remove it.
It blocked and caused a huge mess, I suspect on the removal part. But I want to confirm that the emptyfile completed (and that the engine isn't going to try to put more data in there for when I schedule the removal part again a week or more from now).
How does the engine know not to put any more data in there, and how long does that situation last?

In the Operating environment databases, may be made tables in the database on a temporary basis but they are still yet and they are not removed, how to identify tables that have been made on a temporary basis are not used (don’t have any read & write records)?
How to identify different fields with in a group of records?
Example: create table #test (ID int, Text varchar(10)) insert into #test select 1, 'ab' union all select 1, 'ab'
[Code] ...
I want to show additional field as Matched as ID 1 has same Text field on both the records, and for the ID 2 I want to show Unmatched as the Text fields are different but with the same ID.
I need to recreate a SQL 2005 db in a SQL 2000 server. So far I was able to recreate database schema, but I don't know how to import the raw data. I tried copy-pasting table data to the new db using SQL Server Management Studio Express, but there's a problem - the identity columns do not retain the correct values. For example:
Old db table
ID Username ------------- 15 Peter 45 James
When pasting the same data to teh new db, I would get this:
ID Username
-------------
1 Peter
2 James
You can see the ID field values become different (since the ID attribute is an identity and the table in the new db is empty, the db picks the values 1 and 2 for the two records) and now when pasting data into related tables, I get the error because table relations (which are based on identities) do not match. How do I solve this problem and import all the data into the new db while maintaining correct relationships among tables?
I have two tables. In tblUsers is all userdata. In table tblMoreInfo is some info on a user (0-15 records).Now I want to select tblUsers.username and tblUsers.usercode and the matching top 1 row tblMoreInfo.schoolname (top 1 based on tblMoreInfo.createdate) IF IT EVENT EXISTS from tblMoreInfo. If no matching record exists I want the value NULL to be returned for the schoolname...In all cases tblUsers.username must be unique (and I cant use the distinct keyword as im already using the row_number() function.Any help?Thanks!
I have table 1 from which I select some values belonging to users.In table 2 I store tips a user might give: tipid, tiptitle, tiptext,tipcreatedateA user may give more than one tip.But now I want a query that selects the info of a SINGLE user and the LATEST tip he created, so resultset might look like:username lastname sex tiptitle tiptext tipcreatedateSo even though a user might have given more tips, only the latest will be retreived...and thus 1 row for a particular user is returned...How would I construct such a query? The problem is that I want to get exactly 1 row but more than 1 column from the table 2, so I think I cannot use the SQL Server "TOP" command...
Hi all, What I'm trying to do and having a lot of trouble with is pulling how one user is related to another user from my database. I'll explain...
I set up a table called relationships that looks like this:
ID type: int
RELID1 type: int, is the user id that initiated the relationship request.
RELID2 type: int, is the user id of the second person in the relationship.
Story type: varchar(255), quick blerb on how they are related.
Type type: int, a number 1-20 based on the relationship they have
Status type: int, 1 = confirmed by second person, 0 = not confirmed
What i'd like to have pulled is a list of the people that person (for example: 70) is related to. I am having the two following problems: 1. unqid of "70" could be in RELID1 or RELID2 as they could have initiated the request or been the second person. 2. I don't want to display them selves in their own relationship listing
Example Data: ID 1 2 3 4
RELID1 25 15 70 12
RELID2 54 70 13 8
Story Met on the east coast Met at walmart Met walking Met outside
Type 14 11 3 8
Status 1 1 1 1
Example Output: Again assuming the current user is "70", the sql should pull: 15, 13.. but i'd like to pull their names from another table called "Users" where "15" and "13" are the UnqID's in a column called "ID". So: 15 = Bob Smith 13 = Jane Doe
The following code works great that I got with the help on another form:
SELECT Relationship.RELID1 , Relationship.RELID2 , ReMembers.FirstName , ReMembers.LastName FROM Relationship INNER JOIN ReMembers ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID1 WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70 UNION ALL SELECT Relationship.RELID1 , Relationship.RELID2 , ReMembers.FirstName , ReMembers.LastName FROM Relationship INNER JOIN ReMembers ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID2 WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70
My question is: What is the best way to set this table up? I'm not committed to any any design as of right now, but want to be sure I set it up in the most efficient manner.
