Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using ASP and SQL Serv 2000. What I need to get from 2 tables (company & customers) is random 10 customers from random 20 comp.
Anyone got an idea how to do this??? I've spent 2 days trying to get stored proc. or T-SQL to work, but nothing good came out of it. I can get 1 comp and 10 cust, but not a grouped list of 20 comp. w/ 10 cust. each.
Help is greatly appreciated.
I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
Thanks!
I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.
The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.
Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.
Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?
Thank you

Hello, I have a table of data with the following columns:ParticipantResult (win or lose)The table has other data in, but I want to make a league to sort by the amounts of wins. For example: Participant Won PlayedA 5 10B 4 7C 3 3 I want this to show up on web page. I was hoping to do this through the source code on the web page, but I am struggling to do it.Is there a better way to do this, or a place where I can see an example of the code. Many Thanks, Oliver

View 1 Replies View RelatedI hope I can explain this somewhat coherantly. Here goes..
I have a products database. I want to select product details for items having distinct style codes. IE if there are 20 products that different from one another in some way, and 3 different style numbers throughout them, I want to end up with 3 products selected. I don't care which ones, as long as i have a sample product for each style.
I've attemped to use GROUP BY to do this, but it's not giving me what I want. I managed to get right number of products, but the query seems to have mixed and matched the fields together in an undesireable way. I guess this kinda makes sense, since providing aggregate functions for each of the extra fields is necessary.
SO THE QUESTION IS: How do I select (number of distinct styles) products, and still keep the records in tact as they should be?
Here is a sample...
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Min(team) as team, min(pict) as pict, min(colors) as colors, min(league) as league, min(product_description) as product_description, min(category) as category, min(subcategory) as subcategory, min(style) as style
FROM prods
WHERE (style='style1' or style='style2' or style='style3')
AND league='leaguex'
AND soldout=''
GROUP by style
ORDER by style
Thanks very much for any help!! I'm sure I'm going about this all wrong.
Hi,
What is the best method/model for having real time replication set up and also needing the ability to drop and recreate SP's/Tables/UDF's etc? I keep getting the error of the SP is being used in replication so it cannot be dropped...

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
I have a dimension that has the following members:
Directors
Senior Managers
Managers
Senior Associates
Associates
But they way they need to be displayed includes subtotals. Senior Managers and Managers are placed into Management and Staff is a total of everyone except Directors. They should appear on the report in something like this:
Directors 10
Senior Managers 15
Managers 9
Management 24
Senior Associates 17
Associates 40
Staff 81
Total 91
What is the best way to do this? Right now I am using a matrix because I am also showing headcounts by Period. Is a table a better way to go? Is it something that should be done in my dimension?
I can do the Total part. I am just not sure how to make the subtotals inbetween the other lines.
Thank you for the help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been reading up on how replicating schema changes work, but I must be missing something. When I configured a database for replication, it added a rowguid column to each table. This I understand.
I want to test making a schema change and replicating that change. For example, I tried to add a column to an existing table. When I tried to save the table i get the following error:
"Error validating the default for column rowguid".
"- Unable to modify table.
It is invalid to drop the default constraint on the rowguid column that is used by merge replication.
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted."
So, what am I missing? Do i need to drop the rowguid column, add the new column, and then re-add the rowguid column?
Many thanks...
Hi,
I have the following flow in which i am looping through a folder containing textfiles
Foreach loop
[
ScriptTask -> DataFlowTask -> Execute SQL
]
In my ScriptTask, i am checking the file validity. Now if the file is found incorrect, I do not want the DataFlowTask and other to execute. Instead i want the file to be moved to Error and the loop to proceed with the next file. If the file validity is correct, DFT and ExecuteSQL execute. How do i do this?
Some explanation supported by examples would help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a datagrid in my file along with an Update Query.
My Update Query basically adds the numerical values in two columns
together when the page is loaded. This means whenever the page is
Refreshed the Update query is fired.
This is my Update Query (which is in an Stored Procedure):
UPDATE Rental
SET TotalFee = ExtraFee + TotalFee
WHERE DaysOverdue >= 0
I have declared my query in the 'Page_Load' part of the coding, because
I want the query to run automatically. Not manually by a button.
My main question is that how can I get the query to run only once a day, no matter how many times the page is loaded.
Playing with DTS for converting text data to SQL Server table and sending email messages. Package is to be scheduled hourly.
1. Is there any easy way to force DTS to choose Success or Failure based on a SQL Task? Wish to check contents of a table for new values and branch accordingly in DTS.
2. When new records are brought in I wish to build a custom email message rather than attaching a text file. Any Idea how to build a custom message?
I am attempting to auto scan an error log on a Unix based system and email myself when errors occur. This is an exercise to test scheduling of jobs, bridging between technologies and sending out meaningful messages based on the process via email.
Thanks,

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me, how can I make SQL server database empty.I mean i need to keep only restore the table structur, no table data.
Is there any possible way to make a row delete itself at a certain date and time? I am tring to make an "On_Sale" table and perticular items(rows) must expire at a certain Date and time. I have an idea to delete a row when it expires but it will cause an extra burden on my application. So is it possible to have SQL responsible for deleting a row at a certain time and date?
Also, I have another question:
when I asign a PK Identity to a certain column is there a way I can enforce consecutive order of PK values? For example if I delete a row and the PK value was 5 it will reoder the whole table so all PK values are in consecutive order:
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
2------------XYZ2----------$$$$
3------------XYZ3----------$$$$
when I delete PK 2 this is what happens
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
3------------XYZ3----------$$$$
the PKs are not in consecutive order
What I want is this to happen: when PK 2 is deleted I need it to show as follows
PK-----------Item----------price
1------------XYZ1----------$$$$
2------------XYZ3----------$$$$
The PKs stay in consecutive order.
See how the PK are still in consecutive order?
hi. i'm trying to make a report in asp that sums up a whole bunch of statistics. the report is quite lengthy and takes about 2 minutes to load. i thought i would solve that problem by making a table to dump the statistics into instead of calculating the statistics every time the report is viewed. this way, the page would just read the table with the statistics already put in it. these statistics would be updated every day or two so i don't need anything up to the minute.however, i have run into a small problem which is actually updating the information in the table. my new table is called OfficeReport and it looks like this:UserID Stat1 Stat2 Stat3 ...... Stat3223 0 0 0 056 0 0 0 072 0 0 0 0this is a query for one of the statistics i am currently using:SELECT DefendantCase.UserID, COUNT(DefendantCase.UserID) AS CountOfUserID FROM DefendantCase LEFT JOIN UserDescription ON DefendantCase.UserID=UserDescription.UserID WHERE UserDescription.Status=1 AND UserDescription.UserType=1GROUP BY DefendantCase.UserIDif i run this query, this is what i get:UserID CountOfUserID54 2160 1052 294 427 22how can i modify this query so its output updates the same UserID column in the OfficeReport table? Thanks!

I have a table to which data is being imported via bcp. When I get this data there are some fields nvarchar that has some decimal, for instance 1098.000000 is always 6 zeros..What I want to achieve is to make the above number only 1098
So what I did was this:
LEFT (AMOUNT, LEN(AMOUNT)-7) AS AMOUNT
But i get an error saying invalid lenght parameter passed to the left or substring
i m having 2 Database files for the same DB and 2 Logfiles ,i want it to make a single file..... is it possible with DTS or any other thing.....
