I have to come up with a design choice for a DB Table for a financial firm(i.e. Tables with Fixed column or Value-Pair).
Case: SQL Server 2005 is used as a back-end for a web application(which basically is designed for doing web based analysis). The business people are insisting on a feature that enable power users to add fields to the underlying tables. One option proposed is named value-pair design approach? But from performance point of view, this seems a nightmare. How can this be integrated into static-column table approach. FYI, security policy of the client do not allow the underlying table structures to be changed by the user and currently there are 5000 fields, with a possibility to grow.

HI , I am joining two tables a--3 million records b--58 million records i am doing inner join based on common column, but it is doing cross join, giving 174 million records.. When i saw showplan it is showing physical---merge join logical ---inner join. Could any one pls suggest me.. thank u
i want to create a join query (for view) that will show one data per day for each agent. just a select query joing these two tables..Seems like the date field is given me problem i want result like below
I have the following tables:members--------------member_idmember_tpc_id ( = tpc.tpc_id)tpc------tpc_idcourse------------course_idtpc_assignment---------------------------tpc_assignment_idcourse_idenrollment-------------------member_idcourse_idenrollment_status Now I want to select all members where member_tpc_id>0 and get the enrollment_status of each member in each course where course_id IN (Select course_id From tpc_assignment)Now what i did was get all the members and then all the courses and did a cross join between them. There are about 1900 members and 80 courses and when I do a cross join I get 1900*80 rows (152000) and the status of each member for all the 80 courses. If not enrolled it returns Not Enrolled (i have a UDF which takes a member_id and a course_id and returns the status). The BIG problem is that its taking about 6-8 mins to run the query and as a result its timing out on the aspx page. Can someone please tell me how I can do what i am trying to do without using the cross join because I suspect its the culprit here. The query I came up with is Select *, dbo.returnStatus(temp1.user_id, temp2.course_id) As Status, (Select tpc_title From tpc Where tpc_id = temp1.member_tpc_id) As Tpc_Title From (Select member_id As user_id, member_name, member_tpc_id From members Where member_tpc_id> 0 And organization_id = '1' )temp1 cross join (Select course_id As course_id, course_title As course_title From course Where course_id IN (Select course_id From tpc_assignment Where tpc_requirement_id IN (Select tpc_requirement_id From tpc_requirement) And course_id<>0 And organization_id = '1') )temp2 Order By member_name, Tpc_TitlePlease help. Thank you.
I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join. And the query was ....
SELECT S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN (Production.Products AS P INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
[code]....
However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did the same query using the left outer join in both the cases
i.e..
SELECT S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN (Production.Products AS P LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid) ON S.supplierid = P.supplierid WHERE S.country = N'Japan';
The result i got was same,i.e
supplier country productid productname unitprice categorynameSupplier QOVFD Japan 9 Product AOZBW 97.00 Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD Japan 10 Product YHXGE 31.00 SeafoodSupplier QOVFD Japan 74 Product BKAZJ 10.00 ProduceSupplier QWUSF Japan 13 Product POXFU 6.00 SeafoodSupplier QWUSF Japan 14 Product PWCJB 23.25 ProduceSupplier QWUSF Japan 15 Product KSZOI 15.50 CondimentsSupplier XYZ Japan NULL NULL NULL NULLSupplier XYZ Japan NULL NULL NULL NULL
and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table. The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table. The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
Urgent help needed!I moved an application from ASP+ACCESS to ASP+MS SQLSERVER and I havethe following problem:If the join on two tables results on duplicate colum names (whichappear in both tables) I could reference them by using:RECORDSET("TABLENAME.COLUMNAME")However with SQLServer if I try this kind of reference I get an errormessage.How can between two colums with the same name from two differen tables?Thanks in advance!Adam
Hi, I have a table in which I will insert several redundant data. Don't ask why, is Integration services, it only reads data and inserts it in a SQL table. THis way, I have a SQL table with several lines repeating them selves. What I want to do is create a procedure that reads the distinct data and inserts it in another table, but my problem is that I am not able to select data line by line on the original table to save it in local variables and insert it on the another table, I just can select the last line. I've tried a while cycle but no succeed. Here is my code: create proc insertLocalizationASdeclare @idAp int, @macAp varchar(20), @floorAp varchar(2), @building varchar(30), @department varchar(30)select @idAp = idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization)select @macAp=macAp,@floorAp=floorAp,@building=building,@department=department from OLTPLocalizationif (@idAp <> null)beginInsert into dimLocalization VALUES(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endGO This only inserts the last line in the "oltpLocalization" table. O the other hand, like this:create proc aaaaasdeclare @idAp as int, @macAp as varchar(50), @floorAp as int, @building as varchar(50), @department as varchar(50)while exists (select distinct(idAp) from OLTPLocalization)begin select @idAp =idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization) select @macAp = macAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @building = building from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @department = department from OLTPLocalization where idAP = @idApif (@idAp <> null)begin insert into dimLocalization values(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endendgo this retrieves every distinct idAp in each increment on the while statement. The interess of the while is really selecting each different line in the OLTPLocalization table. I did not find any foreach or for each statement, is there any way to select distinct line by line in a sql table and save each column result in variables, to then insert them in another table? I've also thought about web service, that reads the distinct data from the oltpLocalization into a dataset, and then inserts this data into the dimLocalization table. Is there anything I can do?Any guess?Really needing a hand here!Thanks a lot!
I have table 'stores' that has 3 columns (storeid, article, doc), I have a second table 'allstores' that has 3 columns(storeid(always 'ALL'), article, doc). The stores table's storeid column will have a stores id, then will have multiple articles, and docs. The 'allstores' table will have 'all' in the store for every article and doc combination. This table is like the master lookup table for all possible article and doc combinations. The 'stores' table will have the actual article and doc per storeid.
What I am wanting to pull is all article, doc combinations that exist in the 'allstores' table, but do not exist in the 'stores' table, per storeid. So if the article/doc combination exists in the 'allstores' table and in the 'stores' table for storeid of 50 does not use that combination, but store 51 does, I want the output of storeid 50, and what combination does not exist for that storeid. I will try this example:
'allstores' 'Stores' storeid doc article storeid doc article ALL 0010 001 101 0010 001 ALL 0010 002 101 0010 002 ALL 0011 001 102 0011 002 ALL 0011 002
So I want the query to pull the one from 'allstores' that does not exist in 'stores' which in this case would the 3rd record "ALL 0011 001".
I am using stored procedure to load gridview but problem is that i am not getting all rows from first table[ Subject] on applying conditions on second table[ Faculty_Subject table] ,as you can see below if i apply condition :-
Faculty_Subject.Class_Id=@Class_Id
Then i don't get all subjects from subject table, how this can be achieved.
Sql Code:- GO ALTER Proc [dbo].[SP_Get_Subjects_Faculty_Details] @Class_Id int AS BEGIN
If I join Table1 to Table2 with a WHERE condition, isit the same if I would join Table2 to Table1 consideringthat the size of the tables are different.Let's assume Table2 is much bigger than Table1.I've never used MERGE, HASH JOINs etc, do any ofthese help in this scenario?Thank you
Is it possible to insert data into a table from a temporary table that is inner join? Can anyone share an example of a stored procedure that can do this? Thanks, xyz789
hi, I have a access database. In this database there are 10 tables and this tables are related to each other. I want to move these tables to another database according to a field in XYZ table (vertical fragmentation).
for example there is name coloumn in the XYZ table and I want to take only joe lines and other tables related to that from database A and move it to database B
I was wondering how I could restore a bkp file into a database with a different name. For example, I made a backup of T1.mdf and i want to restore t1.bkp to T2.mdf.
Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:
I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.
That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.
Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.
I have one main Table "MainTable" which I want to relate with "subTable1, subTable2, ..." in such a way that:
"ith subTable" have to be related/joind on "ith row" of the "MainTable", "jth subTable" have to be related/joined on "jth row" of the "MainTable" and so on...
What I want Actually?
I want that when ever I delete a Record in the "MainTable", The corresponding "subTable" have to be deleted Itself.
I thought a solution that, I can cerate a Trigger on Delete of the "MainTable" and it would delete the corresponding "subTable". But I dont know how to ceate that.
Secound solution what I thought is, that may be there is some majic power in the Table Joinings. That I might join "MainTable" row with "subTable" ( ofcourse that I dont know either :))
So my question is, that what is the actual solution for my problem?
What ever solution is please give me a sample also with that. Like in a Trigger how can I write some Expression which can delete the "subTable" for the Currunt delete Row.

Hi. I am trying to get a row count of each row of each table in the database. Is that possible? Using a SP or UDFS? I dont want the column size of each table but the total datasize of each row.So for example if I have 5 rows each in 3 tables I need a query that will return 15 rows with the size of each row(size of all coumn data summed together). Thanks.

I have two table with the same structure (ID, DATE_1, DATE_2).... PLANS and AUD_PLANS. I need to create a trigger (FOR INSERT) that do the following things:
In PLAN table i have the next row: (1234, '01/01/2006', '30/01/2006'). I need to capture these values to compare with the row to insert. How can i do this?
I try this into de Trigger Code ....
DECLARE @FECHA_1_ANT AS datetime DECLARE @FECHA_2_ANT AS datetime
DECLARE @FECHA_1_INS AS datetime DECLARE @FECHA_2_INS AS datetime
Select @FECHA_1_ANT = P.DATE_1, @FECHA_2_ANT =P.DATE_2 from PLANS P inner join INSERTED I on P.ID = I.ID
But the values for @FECHA_1_ANT and @FECHA_2_ANT are the same that the values to insert.....
