Integers && Dynamic Allocation
Mar 10, 2004
Here is what I am trying to do...
I want to goup "members" togethers in a "group."
A table for members and a table for groups.
each containing coluns...
but inside Groups I would like a column that contains ID numbers for the members that be long to that group.
Being that members can belong to multiple groups - I can not use a GroupID in Members - if so I also need a way of it modular.
Obvisiously I am not a very good DB programmer - but I want the least amount of empty/unused space in my tables.
Hope this makes sense

I have gotten mixed comments on this topic. I have a 64 bit machine running 64 windows 2003 standard and 64 SQL 2005 standard with 8 GB of RAM. We want to upgrade it to 32 GB. What is the best approach to do this? Dynamic or Stattic giving min and max server memory a value ? and if static what value should I use for 32 GB knowing that this box is only being used for SQL.

Hi,
I am trying to partition the table i have into 10 partitions based on the last digit of the employee ID.
The following is the logic I tried to use but was not successful.
Code Snippet
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PartitionRange (INT)
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME PartitionScheme AS
PARTITION PartitionRange
ALL TO ([PRIMARY])
create TABLE PartitionedTable
(
counter INT ,
string CHAR(8000) ,
EmpID INT,
UpdateDate datetime
)
ON
PartitionScheme (EmpID % 10)
Any suggestions on how I can make the logic work as required.
Thanks in advance.
With regards,

I'm writing a stored procedure where one of the arguments (WHERE area) really only needs to be used in some circumstances. I.e., when the procedure is passed a USER_ID it needs to check that against the database, but in some instances I'll send 0 instead of a real USER_ID, and in those cases it should return all records regardless of the ID.
Here's what I've got:
...
and b.user_ID = CASE @user_ID WHEN 0 THEN '%'
ELSE @user_ID
...
...the problem being the '%' part. That won't work on an integer column.
Does anyone have any ideas here?
Thanks,
Al

The code below has this line
SET @SOGallons = @ODTGallons
I need it to add the Current value of @SOGallons to the newly selected value of @ODTGallons and set that as the new value of @SOGallons.
I've tried
SET @SOGallons = @SOGallons + @ODTGallons
SET @SOGalTemp = @SOGallons
SET @SOGallons= @SOGalTemp + @ODTGallons
Neither Worked
<CODE>
FROM [CSITSS].[dbo].[Orderdt] as ODT LEFT OUTER JOIN [CSITSS].[dbo].[Orddtcom] as OCOM
ON ODT.[Companydiv] = OCOM.[Companydiv] AND ODT.[OrderNumber] = OCOM.[OrderNumber] AND
ODT.[Sequence] = OCOM.[Sequence] WHERE ODT.[Companydiv]= 'GLPC-TRANS' AND ODT.[OrderNumber] = @OrdNum AND
([LineType] = 'IP' OR [LineType] = 'SO' OR [LineType] = 'DL' OR [LineType] = 'PU')
OPEN TC1
FETCH NEXT FROM TC1 INTO @LT, @ODTGallons, @ODTComm
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS=0
BEGIN
IF @LT = 'SO'
BEGIN
SET @SplitTest = 1
SET @SOGallons = @ODTGallons
IF @SOGallons > 0
BEGIN
SET @SOGalTest = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @SOGalTest = 0
END
IF @SplitTest <> @SOGalTest
BEGIN
SET @SOGalTest = 0
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @SOGalTest = 1
END
FETCH NEXT FROM TC1 INTO @LT, @ODTGallons, @ODTComm
END
CLOSE TC1
DEALLOCATE TC1</CODE>

I have a table which measures the changes in a feedback rating, measured by an integer. Most of my records are the same. Only the primary key & the timestamp change.
How do I query just the changes?
Example dataset:
idrating
15
25
35
45
56
66
[code]....
There are 20 rows & 5 changes. The query I want will result in just those that are different from the ones before them:
idrating
45
56
97
118
189
I use Microsoft SQL 2008

* (unscheduled visit) (should be 3.01)
* (unscheduled visit) (should be 3.02)
Basically when there is an unscheduled visit, it should take the previous visit number and add .01
I am not sure how to count using non integers
Thanks

I'm wondering if there is a function in SQL that works like SUBSTRING function but for integers. Like for example if I have a number like 20010112 and I want to cut it to the first for digits so that it reads 2001?

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to compare two integers stored in a table to return a third. I have two integer fields in one table and two in another like this:
Table1.SomeNumber1 = 1
Table1.SomeNumber2 = 2
Table2.SomeNumber1 = 2
Table2.SomeNumber2 = 1
I need to be able to compare the first number from the first table to the first number in the second table. If the values are different I need to set a variable or field to 0. If the numbers are the same I need to set my variable or field to 1.
I need to follow the same procedure comparing the second number in the first table to the second number in the second table. In addition, I need to be able to do it in a single select statement.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done? Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

It seems I am facing again an unsurmountable problem It should be so simple but one has to spend hours researching how to handle it. The MSDN help on this subject is increadibly obscure.
I have input parameters @months int, @days int, @years int in a stored procedure.
All I want to do is to get a DateTime variable out of them.
DECLARE @dated DateTime.
Thus I want @dated to be set to a DateTime value with month = @months, day = @days and year = @years. The MSDN help says that no CAST should be used since the conversion from int to DateTime should be implicit!!
No examples are given. They seem to show how to CAST or CONVERT varchar to DateTime. Shall I first convert my int to varchar?
It is rudiculous. I've tried dozens of variants. Please help.
Thanks.

I am trying use the decimal data type for a field in SQL Server. When I input the values below, they round off.
73.827 Rounds to 74
1925.1 Rounds to 1925
119.79 Rounds to 120
What am I missing? Access never gave me this issue. Do you see any reason this would happen? I am entering the values into the table directly!

I'm embarassed I haven't figured this out already but here goes.
Lets say you need a percentage from dividing two integers for example
"select 2000/4000"
This will produce a zero and I'm assuming that is because of the datatypes involved (the values are coming from columns where the datatype is int)
I've tried converting the values to decimal types but I keep getting overflow erros unless I use very small values.
As always, thanks VERY MUCH for the kind advice.

I'm having trouble adding a 4-byte integer with an 8-byte integer. Here's what I'm doing:
Column Name: BIG_ID
Derived Column: < add as new column >
Expression: (DT_I8)[ID] + 840230000538058
Data Type: eight-byte signed integer {DT_I8]
The error I get:
The literal 840230000538058 is too large to fit into type DT_I4. The magnitude of the literal overflows the type.
Then I try the expression:
(DT_I8)[ID] + (DT_I8)840230000538058
and
[ID] + 840230000538058
and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to add 2 8-byte integers in regular expression? Why does it still think the literal is DT_I4?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello, all.
Why is it that, despite what is said in the sketchy SQL Help content, it appears to be impossible to cast a string to an integer in the Expression Builder to generate a value for a variable? More specifically, why does the following expression cause an error?
(DT_UI4) (SUBSTRING(@[User::FullDataPath], LEN(@[User:ataPath]) + 1, 2))
I'm iterating over files and using the name of a given file as an ID for an operation. I simply want to grab a file name using the Foreach Loop Container and process that file, while at the same time use the name in another operation. The file name will be something like "2.txt" (full path something like "c:somethingsomething2.txt"). I can use string functions to return the file name, which is a number as a string, and it should be no problem to cast that number as a string to a number (an Int32). SQL Server 2005 help has a chart that indicates such a cast is legal.
Maybe it's a crazy thing to be doing. Maybe I have to go about this a completely different way, but casting from "2" to 2 should be possible in the Expression Builder.
Thanks for any help.

I was told that, when possible, use integer fields for the equality comparison in INNER JOINS. Today someone suggested that using character fields that are indexed should be just as efficient. What do you think?

I am working with a database named €œDocuments€? that contains 4 categories of text documents, each having its own number designation in an integer datatype column named SectionTypeId:
1 = Text
2 = Report
3 = Background
4 = Index
I would like to create a new column named €œDocType€? in which the integer data type for each document is replaced with a varchar data type letter (1 = T, 2 = R, 3 = B, 4 = I). I was able to easily create the new column and cast the data type from integer to varchar:
--CREATE NEW COLUMN €œDocType€? WITH VARCHAR DATATYPE
ALTER TABLE FullDocuments ADD DocType VARCHAR(1) NULL
Go
--UPDATE NEW COLUMN WITH CAST STRING
UPDATE FullDocuments SET DocType = CAST(SectionTypeID AS VARCHAR(1))
Go
But I have problems with the REPLACE method for replacing the numbers with letters. First I tried this based on the examples in MSDN Library:
--REPLACE NUMBERS WITH LETTERS
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE (DocType,"1","T")
Which produced an error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
Thinking that the datatype may be the problem, I tried this to convert to DT_WSTR data type prior to replace:
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE ((DT_WSTR,1)DocType,"1","T")
Which produced the same error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
I have never done a REPLACE before, so any suggestions for accomplishing this would be appreciated.

My ERP software stores all dates as integers. So originally, I wrote a T-SQL function to convert these integer dates to normal people dates in the query I use as the recordset for my report. Well...that worked fine on 1,000 rows, but NOT for 100,000. So I've figured out that if I convert my normal person date parameter to an integer date, then SQL only has to convert my 1 parameter instead of having to convert 100,000 fields, (actually, 300,000 because I have 3 date columns).
So my question is, what is the best way to do this? This is what I have so far:
SET @Macola = Cast(Datepart(yy,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(mm,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(dd,@MacolaDate) as varchar)
However, I want the leading zeros for the month and day. For example if I enter '1/1/2004' into this function, it returns 200411, but I need it to return 20040101.
Any suggestions would be greatly apprectiated. Thank you.

Hi all,
I have a wrong €œdbo.Samples€? table:
SampleID SampleName Matrix SampleType ChemGroup ProjectID

8 Greentree02 Water Duplicate VOCs 1

16 Redrock11 Soil Primary VOCs 1
17 Redrock12 Soil Duplicate VOCs 1
18 Redrock13 Soil QA VOCs 3
I used the following sql code to correct the wrong ProjectIds:
USE ChemDatabase
GO
ALTER TABLE Samples
SET ProjectID = 4 WHERE SampleID = 7
SET ProjectID = 4 WHERE SampleID = 8
SET ProjectID = 5 WHERE SampleID = 9
SET ProjectID = 4 WHERE SampleID = 10
SET ProjectID = 4 WHERE SampleID = 11
SET ProjectID = 6 WHERE SampleID = 12
SET ProjectID = 7 WHERE SampleID = 13
SET ProjectID = 7 WHERE SampleID = 14
SET ProjectID = 8 WHERE SampleID = 15
SET ProjectID = 7 WHERE SampleID = 16
SET ProjectID = 7 WHERE SampleID = 17
SET ProjectID = 9 WHERE SampleID = 18
GO
I got the following error message:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'SET'.
Please help and tell me what it is the right syntax for my €˜SET€™
used in this sql code. I think there are more mistakes in this set of sql code. Please enlighten me and advise me how to make this set of code right.
Thanks,

Hi,
I need to create a 5GB database with 4GB for data and 1GB for log in v7.0. I know that in v6.5 I would have created five 1GB devices - to go easy on the backups.
Could someone please advise on how I should distibute allocation of space.
Should I allocate 1GB to the primary files and 1GB each to 3 secondary files?
Should I just allocate 4GB to primary?
I would really really appreciate any reponse? If there are articles I would appreciate links.
Thanks

I have a small data warehouse which periodically has old data deleted.
However after a delete the free space within the database is not released. If I copy the tables, drop them, recreate, and copy back, the space is there.

I was wondering, is there a way to allocate processors to SQL2000. I have a server that has 4 processors, I would like to leave one just for the operating system and have SQL2000 use the other 3. Is this possible and do you think it would be recomended to do this? Or should i just leave the 4 processors for everything?
thanks in advance

I have windows 2003 with ms sql 2000. The machine has 3.6 gigs of ram and only runs ms sql, nothing else.
Whenever the first query is made sql will allocate as much as 1.5 gigs of ram which is just killing the system. This system reboots nightly so this first query happens every morning.
We have tried setting the min and max memory of sql, as well as the reserver memory setting to see if it will preallocate all that memory but we've had no luck.
Is there a way to make SQL allocate all that memory ahead of time? maybe make it cache some tables or something?
I know very little about MS SQL so please be very descriptive about possible solutions or troubleshooting steps.
Thanks,

Any comments, please. I have a new server 5x160GB drives. It needs to run IIS for a web app and SQL Server 2005. One user database. I was thinking of dividing space as follows and wanted to get some thoughts from others.
2 drives = RAID 1 set, 160GB space, OS, IIS, SQL exe, tempDB, user database log file
3 drives = RAID 5 set, 320GB space, SQL data files, user database files
Thanks for looking...
