I have a flat file I need to generate, wanted to create my file from a SQL view.
Is there a way to have a Header and Detail Record for each Record in my view?
Fields would be:
Line no type period ref amt date Inv_no
0 M 1 3/3/2014
1 M Pay inv: 400.00 12345
where 0 is the header and 1 is the detail. Only certain fields will be in the header and others in the detail.
Hi,
I was able to link SQL Server Express to Oracle views using Linked Manager. However, when I run the query, the performance is very slow.
Is there a way to improve performance in querying?
Previously I was using Access to link to Oracle view. But the performance is not good. Takes about 8 hours for approx 6000 records.
Thanks a lot,
Stara
Following is a stored procedure that currently runs on the system (compacted version). I need to combine this data with data from another Table .. tblAdjustments. The schema for this table is fairly close to tblShipmentDet.
tblShipmentHdr --> tblShipmentDet (Key = ShipmentID)
tblAdjustments --> standalone
Result: combine tblShipmentHdr + attached tblShipmentDet records with
tblAdjustments records.
Would the best approach be to use a UNION SELECT?
@XToDate datetime = '7/31/2005' ,@XBegDate datetime = '7/1/2005'
AS
SELECT
SHPH.ProductID,
SHPH.ReceivedDate,
SHPH.ShipmentNo,
SHPD.Vendor,
SHPD.Quantity,
QRecvdDate = CASE WHEN SHPH.ReceivedDate < convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121)
THEN NULL ELSE SHPH.ReceivedDate
END,
QShipQty = CASE WHEN SHPD.TransCd = 'F'
THEN NULL
WHEN SHPH.ReceivedDate < convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121)
THEN NULL
ELSE SHPH.ShippingQty
END,
PROD.ProductName,
QOpenAccrual = CASE WHEN MEND.OpeningAccrual is Null
THEN 0 ELSE MEND.OpeningAccrual
END
FROM dbo.tblShipmentHdr SHPH
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblProducts as PROD ON Left(SHPH.ProductID,7) = Left(PROD.ProductID,7)
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblShipmentDet as SHPD ON SHPH.ShipmentID = SHPD.ShipmentID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblMonthend as MEND ON SHPH.ProductID = MEND.ProductID And MEND.MEPeriod = convert(varchar(40),@XBegDate,121)
WHERE ((SHPH.ReceivedDate >= '7/1/2005' AND SHPH.ReceivedDate <= '7/31/2005') OR (SHPD.DatePaid >= '7/1/2005' AND SHPD.DatePaid <= '7/31/2005'))
Greetings all:
I am looking for a way to get detailed information about each created table (regardless of permanancy) in a stored procedure, similar to the information one received from using sp_help on an individual table.
Does anyone know of such an animal?
Thank you, and Happiest of New Years,

Hello,
I have a header and detail table. I want to create a constraint on the detail table, based on a value it's linked to in the header table. If the bit is checked in header then a unique value is required , if it's not checked then a NULL value is acceptable.
Many thanks in advance.
I need to write a sql query which is a master-detail query. Here's the example structure of tables:
Master table:
ColID as longint, ColA as int, ColB as int, ColPartID as longint, ColPartName as longint
Child table -- Wheel:
ColID as longint, ColA as int, ColB as int
Child table -- Door:
ColID as longint, ColA as int, ColB as int
Child table -- Window:
ColID as longint, ColA as int, ColB as int
..... etc
From the master table, it needs to join with its child in order to get the detailed information. However, there're more than one child table for it to join. In other words, the query has to choose the correct child table to join for each row selectively. The use of correct child depends on one of the columns in its master table (ColPartName).
My question is: Does it worth of me keep finding a solution for this query or should I abandon this? I really need some advice, please.
Many thanks,
Leonard
this is the query I need help with
select a.RecordID,a.RelocateID,a.WhenConfirmed,b.RequestI D,b.DocumentID,b.RequestWhen from RelocateeDTA a inner join
docRequests b on ({a.RecordID}=' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, a.RecordID)'= b.WhereClause)
because I am trying to link RelocateeDTA that has RecordID to docRequests that has the same piece of data in field WhereClause but is a varchar, and I am getting an error message (syntax error or access violation)
Could somebody help me please
dear experts,
i have two tables, tblcustomer and tblform. in tblcustomer i have cutomerid PK and i have also a field that link these two tables customername. in tblforms i have formname. customername and formname are not PK and customername has a lot of null values.
my question is that i want to link these two tables in customerid not the name and also to get the forms used by this customer. the thing is that i have to write a join query.
any suggestion to do that?
thanks my friends
I know it's possible to link tables between Access and SQL Server using ODBC....however can u use DAO to do this? If there's a way i would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am listing detail transaction lines in a table sorted by account and order number.
the problem is that I only want to see the detail if the sum of a value field is zero for all the transactions in an order otherwise ignore the detail for that order.
I was trying Group by and Having but this doesn't seem to do what I need.
Being relatively new to Reporting services, any nudge in the right direction would be useful.
Hi I am a complete sql newbie :)
With that being said I am trying for the life of me to link to a table in another sql database.
For some reason its not letting me link the table instead it is creating a query of the table.
I used the Access upsizing wizard and the access front end.
*grumbles - just wish I could find the upgrading handbook that tells you if you used to do it this way now do it this way*
Thanks

I want to link in a table from another sql server in a view, how is this done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedURL...let's say every student in the left table, has a corresponding table to the right. If we were to take the average of all the classes in the corresponding table, how would you be able to transfer that in the table to the left, assuming there could be thousands of these individual tables.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am no stranger to Databases, I worked a lot with MySQL but never really cared about proper DB design as long as it worked. Now I am playing with SQL in a ASP.NET project and want to get things done the right way.Let's say I have a Movies database. My movies can have multiple genres so I set my tables up like this:
[Movies]
MovieID
MovieName
MovieRelease

Is this the proper way of doing things? The problem with this is when I want to enter a record manually I have to know the ID of the movie and the ID of the Genres of the movie. And what about naming conventions? By default the identifier is always Id, from my MySQL experience I liked naming it like the table, same goes with other columns. This is my T-SQL code for above tables in VS-2013.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Movies] (
[MovieID] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[MovieName] VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[MovieRelease] NUMERIC (18) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Movies] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([MovieID] ASC)

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. I get really confused really quickly when it comes to table linking, and I think I am doing it the hard way. I am going to show my stupidity and ask if there is a better way than what I do, because it takes a LOT of querying and seems like a huge waste.
In reality, I have about 20 tables to join like this, but I'm going to use three for the example:
"Main" Table
AcctNoNameHeightWeight
1Bob13
2Phil21
3Jim15
4Lisa22
"Height" Table
HeightIDHeightName
1Giant
2Tall
3Medium
4Short
"Weight" Table
WeightIDW_Name
1Skinny
2Normal
3Overweight
4Obese
What I have been doing is:
SELECT
Main.AcctNo,
Main.Name,
Height.HeightName,
Weight.WeightName
FROM
Main
INNER JOIN Height ON
Height.HeightID = Main.Height
INNER JOIN Weight ON
Weight.WeightID = Main.Weight
WHERE Main.AcctNo < 3
My question: is doing 20 INNER JOINS really the best way to do this with 20 tables, or is there some other way to link Main.Height to Height.HeightID that is less intensive?
Thanks again for reading, and in advance for any information or insight you can provide.
I have two tables, one for cases and one for inventors. When I query a case linked to the inventor table I get as many rows as there are inventors. Is there a way that I can get just one row for the case and have the inventors lists Doe, John; Doe, Jane; Buck, Jack? I usually export results to Excel and my people want the inventors in one column for certain reports.
I would search for it but I don't know what it's called.
Thanks,

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off, I am a novice in regards to SQL server and have the rudimentary skills to navigate, execute, query under SQL Server Manager. So, please bear with me.
I am working on a program that was not developed by myself, it is for my business and the company that developed it has gone under, so I have no technical support. The program uses SQL Server and ASP.net. We had a recent hard drive crash and I am in the predicament of having to re-install a new instance of the server onto a new computer. I have the most recent saved "data" files within "Microsoft SQL server/MSSQL/Data" directory. It includes the master, model, MSDB, etc. files.
Long story short, I have been successful in making the program operational again and I can connect to the server properly. It even works when web connecting with internet explorer. The problem I am facing is that all of the data is missing. When I connect through SQL Server Manager, I can see that there are two databases, I will name them "data1" and "data2". When I run a query of the tables, all the data is in "data2". All the stored procedures and tables are identical in both "data1" and "data2".
I am assuming (hopefully I'm right) that "data1" and "data2" are somehow linked or joined in some way. Any insight in how to get these two tables to link would be very much appreciated. Again, I am a novice, and will need help with specific coding that I can put into a query window and execute.
Thanks in advanced.
I'm new to SQL Server 2000. I decided to purchase this server because my old company (UPS) used the server to help expedite queries and manage on-line reporting. So, now it's up to me to utilize and understand the new server. I have been using MS Access as my front-end for several ad-hoc databases, so I'd like to keep utilizing this method. I want to test my first database using the SQL Server.
I've got everything set up. The IT department has installed the server software on my computer. Within my Access database, I link in tables from a database called "Progress" using a Merant driver. Queries, forms, macros and modules are all pulling from these "linked" tables. Do I need to link these tables into the SQL Server? How do I transistion this database over to SQL? I guess I'm confused about the relationship of how all of this should work.
Right now it looks like this:
PROGRESS ..... linked....... MS Access ....... reporting/results
Where does SQL fit in?
I have an Access database that contains local files and files linked on a SQL server through a DNS connection. I have been using this for years and during that time I have dropped links, added links, changed the DNS server information, etc.
I changed the DNS server information this weekend, deleted all the links, and was ready to start linking the tables with the new DNS information. I click on File >> Get External Data >> Link Tables and am given the traditional file selection dialogue. I go to the bottom (Files of Type) and scroll to the last selection... ODBC Databases().
In the past, after I made that selection, I would then be taken to the ODBC dialogue from my computer to select the connection type and then the actual connection.
Now however, the dialogue immediately stops. It doesn't lock, it just stops and returns me to the Database window from my database as though I wasn't doing anything.
I have reinstalled Office and redone all the updates. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary

Is there a way to link MS Access tables with SQL Server tables so the client app sees them as tables from one database?
I have tried linked server but it appears that it gets stale after a while and needs to be re linked from time to time which is not very practical.
Hello,
I have a table called "ShoppingCart" which has fields for CartID, UniqueID and Quantity. At the moment I haven't specifed a primary key for this table becuase none of the fields are unique. I need to be able to link this ShoppingCart table to a table called "Size" using the UniqueID (both tables contain a field for UniqueID) in order to obtain the ProductID and CategoryID of the data item. I then need to link the ProductID and CategoryID I obtained from the first part of the SQL statement to a table called "plants" in order to get information from the following fields in the plants table: Common_Name, Latin_Name and Thumb_URL.
So far I've been able to use an INNER JOIN with the Size table to obtain the ProductID and Category ID using....
SELECT * FROM ShoppingCart INNER JOIN Size ON ShoppingCart.UniqueID = Size.UniqueID WHERE CartID = @CartID ORDER BY ProductID
I now need to be able to use the ProductID and Category ID I've obtained from this part of the query to reference the Common Name, Latin Name etc of the data item from the plants table. Is there any way that I could do this?
I do sometimes wonder if I'm making this whole thing a lot more complicated than it needs to be. At the moment I'm storing details about the different types of plants the garden centre sells in the "plants" table. However, some plants are available in different sizes so I've got a table called "Size" which links to the plants table using the ProductID and CategoryID of data items. The Size table has a unique primary key field called "UniqueID" which is used to uniquely identify every plant that the garden centre sells (this cannot be done using Product/CategoryID becuase different sizes of the same plant have the same ProductID/CategoryID). I'm then storing just the CartID, UniqueID and Quantity in the "ShoppingCart" table. There must be an easier way of structuring the whole thing!
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer me.
Many thanks,
Luke
Hi, I need to link an Access 97 database to sql server 2000. I can't use Enterprise Manager so I have created a simple asp.net page using sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
The mdb file is on a network share, then I have permissions problems: here is a sample
sp_addlinkedserver 'test', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97db1.mdb', 'efco'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'test', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULL
I have no problems executing these stored procedures (the linked server is added in sysservers table), but when I try to query the access database
SELECT * FROM test...profile
I get this error
Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97dboutlet.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
The mdb file is not locked, I think is a permission's problem.
Can anyone help me ?

Hi, I have 2 similar databases on the same SQL server (due to licencing and customisation issues for off the shelf software).
I would like to create a third database with site specific lookup tables to map data across to site codes, to do summary queries for data reporting, and to create a single point for data access. I can't modify the 2 databases.
I have created the third database and added the necessary tables, relationships, views, etc. But, how do I link to tables in the other databases on the same server so that I can do joins in a query/view ? I have SQL Server Enterprise manager.
Thanks.
