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

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 Results With T-sql Query In SQL Server 2005

Apr 18, 2006

I'm seeing some change in behavior for a query in SQL Server 2005 (compared to behavior in SQL Server 2000).  The query is as follows:
------------
create table #projects (projectid int) insert into #projects select projectid from tblprojects where istemplate = 0 and projecttemplateid = 365

Select distinct tblProjects.ProjectID
from tblProjects WITH (NOLOCK) 
     inner join #projects on #projects.projectid = tblprojects.projectid  
     Inner join tblMilestones WITH (NOLOCK) ON tblProjects.ProjectID = tblMilestones.ProjectID   
          and tblProjects.projectID in (
               select projectid 
               from tblMilestones 
               where (parent = 683691 AND PrimaryDate between '4/15/2006' and '4/22/2006' )
                    and enabled = 1  )
------------
This is dynamic SQL generated by the application when a user requests a report with variable parameters.  It works fine in SQL Server 2000.  It outputs 47 records which is correct. 

In SQL Server 2005, for some reason, the DISTINCT keyword is behaving as a TOP operator and outputs just 1 record.  (Results of Showplan Text at the end of this post).

If I modify the query even the slightest bit by:
1) Changing "where (parent = 683691 AND PrimaryDate between '4/15/2006' and '4/22/2006' )
    and enabled = 1  )"
 To " where (parent = 683691 AND PrimaryDate between '4/15/2006' and '4/22/2006' ) )
    and enabled = 1  "

2)  Changing " Select distinct tblProjects.ProjectID"
 To   " Select distinct tblProjects.ProjectID+''"

3) Removing the Distinct keyword, storing into a Temp table, then performing a distinct on the temp table

4) Adding: OPTION (FORCE ORDER)

5) OR completely fixing the query (remove redundant loops, etc)

...it works fine (outputs 47 records).  It also works if I created new tables (eg. tMilestones instead of tblMilestones) and inserted about 10 records into each and ran the query referencing these new tables.

I reindexed the tables, updated stats, updated usage, ran DBCC FREEPROCCACHE, changed MaxDOP settings...nothing makes the query behave the way it does in SQL Server 2000 without modifying the query/adding the query hint.

Have you come across this?  Any ideas on what might be causing the "TOP" operation.  (Somewhat resembles the bug mentioned in this article: http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_910392.aspx - but this was apparently fixed POST-SQL Server 2000 SP4 - so has it not made it into SQL Server 2005 yet?).

I will appreciate any new insights you might have on this issue. 
Thanks much,
Smitha

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 ?

Incorrect Results

Feb 9, 2007

I am running the following code in my stored procedure and I am not geting the results I need:


set @dbidstr = 'select @dbid = dbid from dbo.databaseoriginalsize'
execute sp_executesql @dbidstr, N'@dbid int output', @dbid output
print @dbid

'select dbid from dbo.databaseoriginalsize' returns values 1-26 but when I run it as a code shown above I only get one value which is 26, 26 times.

What am I doing wrong?

SqlDataReader Returning Incorrect Results

Oct 23, 2006

I am/have been having an issue with Data Access from a Sql Server database. I have a class that contains a method called "GetDataReader" which takes in a string for the query. Occasionally, the DataReader returned has completely different columns thus resulting in an error when trying to read the data. Below is a small section of code that actually creates the datareader, opens the connection and executes the reader.SqlCommand cmdReader = new SqlCommand();
SqlDataReader drReturn = null;
try {
// Set the connection for the command object
cmdReader.Connection = new SqlConnection(this._csbGlobal.ConnectionString);
cmdReader.Connection.Open();
// Set the command type
cmdReader.CommandType = Type;
// Set the command text
cmdReader.CommandText = Sql;
// Set the command timeout
cmdReader.CommandTimeout = _iTimeout;
if (Parameters != null) {
// Set the parameters
for (int i = 0; i < Parameters.Count; i++) {
cmdReader.Parameters.AddWithValue("@" + Parameters.GetKey(i), Parameters[i]);
}
}

// Get the return value
drReturn = cmdReader.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
// Dispose of the command object
cmdReader.Dispose();
cmdReader = null;
} catch (SqlException e) {
this.HandleError(e);
} catch (Exception e) {
this.HandleError(e);
}
// Return the reader
return drReturn;The data access class is created on each page and only used for that page and any usercontrols on that page. I have checked all the datareaders and they are all being closed. I have been fighting with this issue for about a month and a half now. It only seems to happen when there are a lot of people on the site.If anyone has experienced this or konws how to fix it please let me know. Thanks-Jason

Preview Data, It Gives You Incorrect Results

Apr 25, 2007

I am reposting this to a different forum, becasue I got not response...
Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express
Take a simple stored procedure like the following to return a specific column from a specific row in a data table ....
SELECT fld_IX_UserID
FROM UserIDs
WHERE (fld_UserID_Table_ID = @USERID_TABLE_ID)
It works fine in Store Procedure, and if you create at table adapter to reference it, that works fine as well.
Here is the issue. In the store procedure (i.e. under Server Explorer), when you execute the command to test it, it gives you the correct results. In Edit with Dataset Designer, Table Adapater, if you highlight it, right click preview data, it gives you incorrect results. In code, the table adapter gives you the correct resutls.
In every case, Preview Results for a table adapter built on a stored procedure will give you the wrong results. This is clearly a bug and can result in a log of wasted time.
Am I missing something? FYI, I realize I don't need to use the Table Adapater to execute the above stored procedure, but we are using table adapters for everything to be consistent.
Thanks,
Bob

Incorrect Results From FTS On Multiple Columns

Apr 24, 2006

I'm writing a FTS query which needs to search on two different columns.

E.g. Table contains "Location" and "LocationDescription" columns.
Both columns are FT indexed.
The query also uses AND/OR operators to filter out the results.

I found the following article which gives the solution to the same problem.
Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;286787
Is this problem associated with SQL Server 2005 also?

Making a third column which hold data from first two column is the
only solution or is there any other way to acheive better results?

Transact SQL :: Insert Trigger Returning Incorrect Results

Jul 11, 2015

SQL Version:  SQL2014

PROBLEM:  The SQL insert trigger code below is returning incorrect results.  In some cases the results returned are from entirely different fields than those specified as the source field in the SET statement.  For instance the value returne for the Price_BeforeAdj field does not = 20000000?  It returns a NULL.  See code below.

OFFENDING CODE:

ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[xcti_WIPAdjustments_I]
   ON  [dbo].[budxcWIPAdjustments]
AFTER INSERT AS
BEGIN
 SET NOCOUNT ON;
  UPDATE budxcWIPAdjustments

(SQL 2000) Incorrect Results When Using An Outer Join And A View!

Mar 29, 2008

Hi,
I have a query written in SQL 2000 which returns incorrect result. The query uses left outer join and a view. I read an issue related to this in one of microsoft bug report in this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321541.

However, there's a slight difference in the sympton second bullet wherein instead of a expression the query returns a fixed string for one of the column value.

Although the issue mentioned in article seems to be fixed. The later one still seems to be reproducible even with Service Pack 4. However, this issue doesn't appear in SQL Server 2005.

Here's the query to reproduce this error.



Code Snippetcreate table t1 (pk1 int not null,primary key (pk1))
create table t2 (pk1 int not null,label1 varchar(10) not null,primary key (pk1))
go
insert into t1 values (1)
insert into t2 values (2, 'XXXXX')
go
create view V as
select pk1, 'ZZZZ' as label1 from t2
go
select A.pk1 as A_pk1, B.pk1 as B_pk1, B.label1 as B_label1
from t1 as A left outer join V as B on A.pk1 = B.pk1
go

This query is similar to the one mentioned in the article except that in the SELECT clause of CREATE VIEW statement I am passing a fixed value for column "label1".

I just want to confirm that this is an issue and no fix is available for this so far.

Regards,
Naresh Rohra.

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.

Is There A Way To Hold The Results Of A Select Query Then Operate On The Results And Changes Will Be Reflected On The Actual Data?

Apr 1, 2007

hi,  like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right?  so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records  and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!

Need To Display Results Of A Query, Then Use A Drop Down List To Filter The Results.

Feb 12, 2008

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Alter Column Results In Incorrect Syntax Near &#39;column&#39;

Oct 29, 2001

I ran this query against the pubs database and it runs successfully

ALTER TABLE publishers ALTER COLUMN state CHAR(25)

I change the table & field names for my db as follows:
ALTER TABLE customquery ALTER COLUMN toclause CHAR(25)

and run against my database and I get the following error - Incorrect syntax near 'COLUMN'.

My column name is correct - I don't know why it would run fine against pubs, but not my db. I do not have quoted identifiers turned on. I have tried using [] around my column name [toclause], but that didn't change anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Incorrect Syntax Near '4' - But No '4' In Query

Oct 13, 2005

I'm using the following vbScript and T-SQL and receiving a seemingly strange error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '4'.


vb Code:






Original

intUserID = 124

Set quizCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set SQLConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
SQLConn.Open Application("DBCONNECTION")

quizCmd.ActiveConnection = SQLConn
quizCmd.CommandText = "checkComplete"
quizCmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
quizCmd.Parameters.Append quizCmd.CreateParameter("@userID", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, intUserID)
quizCmd.Parameters.Append quizCmd.CreateParameter("@status", adVarChar, adParamOutput, 6, 0)

For reference, I have tried changing intUserID to be a different value (e.g. 13) to ensure it is not that '4' in question - likewise for @complete = 24 (e.g. 23).

Any ideas where the 4 is coming from and what is wrong here?

Incorrect Query Text

Nov 13, 2007



I have this as my query text

SELECT MachNumber, ShiftNumber, HeatNumber, PartNumber,

RevNumber, CureTime, Bump1, Bump1Interval, Bump2,
Bump2Interval, DwellTime, LateToDrop, EarlyToDrop,
OverTime, CycleTime, ChangeTime, Date
FROM HeatInfo
WHERE (ShiftNumber = @ShiftNumber)


AND (Date >= @StartDate) AND (Date <= @EndDate)

This correctly returns 4 rows, which is great except that I would like to have these records Sorted by the Date. So I added the OrderBy command to the bottom of the query, like this

SELECT MachNumber, ShiftNumber, HeatNumber, PartNumber,

RevNumber, CureTime, Bump1, Bump1Interval, Bump2,
Bump2Interval, DwellTime, LateToDrop, EarlyToDrop,
OverTime, CycleTime, ChangeTime, Date
FROM HeatInfo
WHERE (ShiftNumber = @ShiftNumber)


AND (Date >= @StartDate) AND (Date <= @EndDate)
ORDER BY Date

This query returns 181 rows! whis is not great. What am I doing wrong here, I suppose that it is something extreamly obvious or I would probably have figured it out.

Incorrect Query Plan

Nov 16, 2007

I was doing a demo last night, something that I've done hundreds of times already. Last night was the first time that it has failed to work. I was trying to show what the sys.dm_db_missing_index_* DMVs can provide.

AdventureWorks database

I'm running the following query:

select city from person.address where city like 'A%'


This is supposed to produce a table scan which in turn will obviously cause SQL Server to detect that an index could be beneficial. However, it does a clustered index scan (yes, I know, basically the same thing) instead and I see absolutely nothing appear in the DMVs. I pulled the data out into a dummy table that did not have a primary key either using the following:
select * into person.tmpaddress from person.address

I then execute the same query and get a table scan which is expected:

select city from person.address where city like 'A%'

However, it does not matter how much I execute that query or any other permutation of explicit query, absolutely nothing at all gets logged into the sys.dm_db_missing_index_* DMVs. I have also tried this same type of thing with several other tables in the AW database and can not find a single query which will cause anything to be logged to these DMVs. It seems that something is broken, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what is wrong. No weird settings, I'm running as sa, etc.


I can run queries like this in other databases and stuff gets immediately logged to the DMVs as expected. Any ideas?

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.

What's wrong with it?

Possibly Incorrect Query Result

Jul 13, 2006

/* Test table */
create table test (c1 char(1), c2 varchar(1));
insert into test values ('','');

/* Query */
select
c1,
len(c1) len_c1,
c2,
len(c2) len_c2
from test


The result of the len(c1) expression is 0. I would expect the correct result to be 1, since "c1" is a fixed-length character string type and the values are right-padded with spaces to fit the defined length, in this case 1.

I'm using SQL Server 2005.

Regards,
Ole Willy Tuv

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

Oct 24, 2007

Can anybody provide me with the guidelines to install a fresh copy of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition? The previous installation included a system account and it was on the same drive as the operating system. I remember reading this was not a good practice. Am I wrong?
thanks in advance

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,
A simple IT guy trying to build a system right

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

Incorrect Column Expression With CHAR In MS Query

Jan 16, 2014

I am working with Excel, then within Excel I am using MS Query to query a database. I am trying to use the CAST function on a field with numbers (1,2 or 3 digits) so I can convert it to a text value with three digits, i.e. 1 would read 001, 12 would read 012, etc.

I am not using CAST in the design grid. Is this even possible?

I am modifying the underlying SQL code. Here is the line that is giving me trouble:

CAST(GL02GLF.GLF_SEQ_NUM as CHAR(3)) as “Sequence”

SUM Returns Incorrect Value In SQL Server Mobile Query ... Bug??

Feb 6, 2007

Hi all,

I am a newcomer to Microsoft Database Technology and have appeared to come across an issue with the SUM function in SQL Server Mobile Edition.

I am running Visual Studio 2005 and have created 2 tables:

Orders and OrderLines which are set up in master detail fashion.

The SQL Statement I create in the Query Builder is as follows:


SELECT     Orders.OrderNo, Orders.OrderDate, Orders.Priority, Orders.Address, SUM(OrderLines.Quantity * OrderLines.QualityReference) AS Total
FROM         Orders, OrderLines
WHERE     Orders.OrderNo = OrderLines.OrderNo
GROUP BY Orders.OrderNo, Orders.OrderDate, Orders.Priority, Orders.Address

Now, the SUM returns a total for all records in the OrderLines table, and not just the records whose OrderNo is the same as Orders.OrderNo

Can someone out there please clarify whether its an issue with my code or a bug with SQL Server Mobile???

Here are a couple of screenshots which will demonstrate what I mean.

Here is the contents of the Orders and OrderLines tables.  Each order has only 1 line item in it.

 http://public.fotki.com/AussieNoobie/sqlerrors/vs2005sqlceordersdata.html

When performing the summation over the OrderLines table, it produces the SUM of the all records in OrderLines and not according to the GROUP BY clause. See the following screen shot.

http://public.fotki.com/AussieNoobie/sqlerrors/vs2005sqlceerror1.html

I hope this explains it better.

Anyone have any ideas??? 

Thanks in advance

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?
