Linked Server, Views And Efficiency
May 6, 2005
Hi,
I have two servers that i want to create a SQL RS report on.
On one server there is an HR database with our staff details, on the other server there is a database of assets.
In order to report on the assets assigned to each user i am thinking that i will have to :
1) link the servers
2) create a view in the HR database exposing the fields needed
3) create a view in the assets database exposing the assets information joined to the view from the other server
4) create my reports on the view on the assets server.
is this right or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Hi,
okay so I'm refactoring some code at the moment. At the moment, I'm working on a search screen. This search screen lets the user enter a number of criterias, I'm working on drags data from a view and then programmatically filters it according to the search filters.
This is obviously inefficent and non-scalable as the view drags out every entry and returns to the data layer, which then filters it.
I'm wondering what the best way to refactor this? i'm thinking the best way is to tell the db what to filter on, so it'll only drag out the right amount of data.
Therefore, should I keep the view? Is there any way of entering parameters into views or am i going to need to change this into a stored proc?

Please help.
I created a linked server with Oracle Provider for OLE DB to Oracle Database from SQL Server 2000 SP 4. Afterwards I created Views from this linked server and granted SQL Server users "select" access to the Views.
Unfortunately when they try to access the views the following error message was generated (see the attached image - error.gif).
Can someone please explain to me what is wrong?
Thanks

SQL 2005 SP2 in Managemrnt Studio...
I have a linked server set-up pointing to an instance that has several databases. In one catalog I have no tables or views being listed for the catalog. So I select a view, add the permissions that should allow the view to show in the list but it does not. And I did refresh and I did even restart management studio.
BTW: I can exec the view using a 4 part name.
Any one have an idea why the view don't show in the list?
Thanks much

I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong.
Thank you

Is there anyway to access system views on/from a linked server?
I have unsuccessfully tried various permutations of

Zero Length Strings Showing up as a Space in Views linked in Access
I have code being converted from a SQL 6.5 DB to SQL 7; SQL 7 does not concantenate NULLS like in 6.5, so i have replaced all occurances of concantenated NULLs with zero-length strings (''s); in SQL, the view displays the zero-length strings properly, but when i view the linked view in Access97, the zero-length strings are displayed as spaces; is this a SQL problem or an Access Problem? Is there a solution?
Example of display:
10132 Hampton, VA: A. Deepak Publishing
SELECT PublisherID, Info = CASE WHEN City IS NOT NULL
THEN City + CASE WHEN State IS NOT NULL
THEN ', ' + State ELSE '' END + ': ' ELSE ''
END + Publisher
FROM tblLibraryPublishers
When view is linked in Access97, the display will be:
10132 Hampton, VA : A. Deepak Publishing
(this spacing can produce a number of lookup/search problems if only the Publisher name is displayed because a space is added to the beginning of the Publisher name)
Thank you!

Hello All,
I am new to SQL Server 2000. I am eager to learn what factors/parameters are key for obtaining good retrieval performance of SQL Server 2000 (prompt response to user query).
I recall that someone told me that a recordset with asOpenStatic cursor type has higher speed than that of a recordset with other cursor types.
Is this true or false. Are there really some key parameters for perfomance tuning .
Thanks

Hi ,

on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers
There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the
Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that
"Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems
why i am not able to see from my Desk top
i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem
What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP

I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?
The following is the code that I am using right now:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
   @server = N'Machine123Instance456',
   @srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Machine123Instance456', 'false', NULL, 'username', 'password'Â Â

ACTDMSLINKED does not exist at the time I need to add the stored procedure that references it.
PLEASE to not tell me to add the LINK and then run the script. This is not an option in this scenerio.

Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

Hello,I am looking at optimizing site searching on a web application. I have two thoughts on the idea:1. create views with fulltext indexes combining records from multiple tables.2. create a table with an xml column and primary index. I understand the xml column type has the overhead of a BLOB under the hood, but that a primary xml index can "shred" the contents and improve parsing. I also read the xml column is actually searched as a tree, providing some variant of log(n) run time. Does anyone know of good literate on this subject, the more big O notation, runtime analysis types of posts the better.Thanks

Hey,I am developing a website which will be used by a large number of people so I am concerned about efficiency.Sorry for the three posts but anyone with any info would be appreciated.The database has the following tables: FACILITY-----MEETING ---- | | USERS---- -------- MEETING_INVITE -------- REMINDER | | ---------CONTACTS-------When the user logs in I use there username to access the rest of the tables. I get all of the users information out of the database in one go and store it in a dataset.So when a user accesses there meetings page, I pass the dataset to that page with a server transfer.Question 1 > Is it more efficient to open the database once and access all the information and pass the information to seperate tables or is it more efficient to access the database on the individual pages and thus not passing of information.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In order to access the information I use 6 Select statements in a rowHere is an example of my select statments: SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE email = textbox_emailSELECT FACILITY.* FROM FACILITY, USERS WHERE FACILITY.email = USERS.email AND USERS.email = textbox_emailBy the time I get to the REMINDER table I am combining all the tables and my query is eight lines long.Question 2 > Is there a way of combining the results of a previous select to access information?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question 3 > What do you think of my table design? The lines represent one to many relationships. If you can give me any tips on databases please do.Thanks for your time,Padraic

Hello all,I am developing a website which may be used by a large number of people in the future and I am concerned about performance.
Is it better to have one table with 50, 000 rows or 5,000 tables with 10 rows each?
Is there a way to divide a table in two if the table reaches a certain size?
Is there a limit on the size of tables?
Is there a limit on the number of tables?
Is it possible to create tables from vb.net?
Is it possible to program checks into sql server? For example, could I delete data that has passed a certain date or send an automated email when a time is reached?
Thanks for your time,Padraic

Hey people
I'd be really grateful if someone can help me with this. Could someone explain the following:
If the following code is executed, it runs instantly:
declare @SellItemID numeric (8,0)
select @SellItemID = 5296979
SELECT distinct s.sell_itm_id
FROM stor_sell_itm s
WHERE (s.sell_itm_id = @SellItemID )
However, if I use this WHERE clause instead -
WHERE (@SellItemID = 0 OR s.sell_itm_id = @SellItemID)
- it takes 70 micro seconds. When I join a few more tables into the statement, the difference is 4 seconds!
This is an example of a technique I'm using in loads of places - I only want the statement to return all records if the filter is zero, otherwise the matching record only. I think that by using checking the value of the variable in the WHERE clause, a table scan is used instead of an index. This seems nonsensical since the variable is effectively a constant. Wrapping the entire select statement with an IF or CASE works, but when I've got 10 filters I'd have to 100 select statements.
I DON'T GET IT!! There must be a simple answer, HELP!!

PS this problem seems to occur both in 6.5 and 7.0

Hi All,
I tried my luck in the Access forum and I've search the web and MSDN for an answer with little luck.
Simply, is it better to update a table via an UPDATE query or Recordset manipulation?
I have read that if you were to update 10,000 records an UPDATE query is more efficient (obviously), but does that transend down to say 1 - 10 updates?
i.e. There are six unique updates I want to make to 6 different rows. Should I code the backend VB to execute 6 different queries or seek and update a recordset?
It's a MS Access XP app with ADO 2.8.
My gut feeling on this is that making 6 update queries is more efficient, both with system resources and record-locking issues; I'd just like another opinion on the matter.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Warren

I would like to use MVJ's formula for creating a date table.
I would like to use it with our main ERP database. However, I am reluctant to make changes to it because I fear that at some point when we upgrade that software and it's database that the upgrade program will delete my table.
So, here is my question. Performance wise, does it matter whether I add the date table to our ERP database or if I create another database (on the same server) for the custom date table? Does linking between databases take substantially longer than linking within the same database?

hi,Allcould you tell me which case is more efficiency?(my tables have no index)And does it has any else case more efficiency?case1:"select sum(Invoice_Production.Quantity) from Invoice_Production,(select[dat_Item].ItemCode from [dat_Item],(select [dat_MachineType].MachineTypeIDfrom [dat_MachineType]"&subQuery&") as T3 where [dat_Item].MachineTypeID =T3.machinetypeid) as T1,(select [Invoice].InvoiceNo from Invoice,(select[users].user_id from [users] where [Users].User_ID = '"& rs2(0) &"') as T4where T4.User_ID = invoice.dealerno and Invoice.Cyear >= "&startYear&" andInvoice.Cyear <= "&endYear&" and Invoice.Cmonth >= "&startMonth&" andInvoice.Cmonth <= "&endMonth&") as T2 where invoice_production.ItemCode =T1.ItemCode and T2.invoiceno = invoice_production.invoiceno"case2:"select sum(Invoice_Production.Quantity) from[Invoice_Production],[Invoice],[dat_MachineType],[dat_Item],[users] where[users].user_id = [invoice].DealerNo and [dat_Item].ItemCode =[Invoice_Production].ItemCode and [dat_Item].MachineTypeID =[dat_MachineType].MachineTypeID and [Invoice_Production].InvoiceNo =[Invoice].InvoiceNo and [Users].User_ID = '"& rs2(0) &"' and Invoice.Cyear

I have the following 2 tables:location:placelftrgt-------------------Europe099England110France1120Italy2130Asia100199London1212staff:namelocLft--------------Edwards0Smith1Leveil11Rossi21Lee12Chan100location uses the Celko hierarchy model.I wish to retrieve for a location the names of all staff within it andthe hierarchy of place associated with that member of staff, eg aquery for Europe should return all staff in Europe, and for Lee I wishto return Lee-London, Lee-England, Lee-Europe etc.I can achieve this using a subquery, ieSELECT name, placeFROM staff, locationWHERE name IN (SELECT nameFROM staff, locationWHERE place='Europe' And locLft>=location.lft AndlocLft<=location.rgt)AND locLft>=lft AND locLft<=rgtBut is this the most efficient way of doing so?Thanks

Greetings all,
I need to determine a hierarchy from a table with EmpID's and SupID's. Basically, the President doesn't have a SupID so it will be null. I need to determine programatically the hierarchy to keep it simple.
I have code that works and I was hoping for advice on optimizing it 'cuz it uses a cursor.
Also, It only deals with less than 300 records.
Code Block
CREATE TABLE Employee(fName varchar(30), EmpID int, SupID int)
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Adam', 1, 4
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Joe', 2, 4
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'John', 3, 4
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Frank', 4, 10
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Jane', 5, 10
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Kristy', 6, 10
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Angie', 10, 11
INSERT INTO Employee SELECT 'Ron', 11, NULL
--=====================================================================================
-- CODE
--=====================================================================================
CREATE TABLE #temp(Hierarchy int, myName varchar(30), SupID int, EmpID int)
INSERT INTO #temp SELECT 1, fName, SupID, EmpID FROM Employee WHERE SupID IS NULL
--NULL SupID means that they are at the top most branch
DECLARE @Counter int --Counter is used to increment
SET @Counter = 1
DECLARE MY_CURSOR Cursor
FOR
SELECT SupID, EmpID, fName
FROM Employee
ORDER BY SupID --ORDER BY SupID to bring NULLs to top
Open My_Cursor
DECLARE @EmpID int, @SupID int, @Name varchar(30)
FETCH NEXT FROM MY_Cursor INTO @EmpID, @SupID, @Name
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
SET @Counter = (SELECT MAX(Hierarchy) FROM #temp) + 1 --Get the highest hierarchy ID and increment by 1
INSERT INTO #temp
SELECT @Counter, fName, SupID, EmpID
FROM Employee
WHERE SupID IN (SELECT EmpID FROM #temp WHERE EmpID = @SupID)
FETCH NEXT FROM MY_CURSOR INTO @EmpID, @SupID, @Name
END
CLOSE MY_CURSOR
DEALLOCATE MY_CURSOR
SELECT * FROM #temp
DROP TABLE #temp
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Howdy folks!
I've got a database that needs to run 24/7. I'm looking into maintanence options and wanted to run the following by y'all:
Ok, I've read the MSDN "Maintaining databases" article and noticed the following statement about autoshrinking: "This technique uses almost no processor time and memory". I also searched these forums and found that many users say autoshrinking heavily lags down sql transfers. So who's right? And if it does lag transfers, by how much?
Another question I have about autoshrink is fragmentation. It would seem to me that over time solely depending on autoshrink would cripple a server in terms of fragmentation; is this the case?
Also, does autoshrink (or manual shrinking or compacting) update the statistics?
Final question!!! I'm programming in native c++, is there a way for me to run commands such as "DBCC SHRINKDATABASE" in native OLE DB code?
Thanks!

I have a website that is probably going to hold a sizable amount of data. The data will be specific to groups of users based on login credentials. Would it be more efficient to create a whole new database for each group of users, or create new tables for the groups in the existing database?
Any thoughts on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm working on a "comments" section for our application suite.
My thoughts are to have 1 Comments table, which is then linked to a comment Log table.
For each section: Item, Group, Section, User, Package (these can all have comments on them) I will link them to the comments in a many to many relationship.
Example:
Comments Table-CommentID-UserID
UserComments-UserID-CommentID
User_Table-UserID....
Would doing that be more efficient than having 1 seperate comments table, and log table for each area I want to have comments?

Suppose I have two tables(Customer and Order) which are as follows:
Code:
Customer
customer_id
first_name
[Code]....
Another thing I am concerned about is that in the line INNER JOIN Order ON Customer.customer_id = Order.customer_id , I have written Customer.customer_id on the left hand side. Is that correct or I should write it on the right hand side of the equal sign?
