Mass Updates In SQL Server
Oct 11, 2007Does anyone know what the best way to do mass updates in SQL server is? I am currently using the methodology suggested in this article
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3141
But the article is assuming that once I update a field it is going to have a value that is NOT NULL. So I can loop through and update the rows that have a NOT NULL value. But my updated rows do contain NULL values, in this case what is the best way to go about this???
***************************************
Here is my code. I want to avoid using Upd_flag becos
after the following code runs I need to reset that flag
before I run my next query
***************************************
--Set rowcount to 50000 to limit number of inserts per batch
Set rowcount 50000
--Declare variable for row count
Declare @rc int
Set @rc=50000
While @rc=50000
Begin
Begin Transaction
--Use tablockx and holdlock to obtain and hold
--an immediate exclusive table lock. This usually
--speeds the insert because only one lock is needed.
update t_PGBA_DTL With (tablockx, holdlock)
SET t_PGBA_DTL.procedur = A.[Proc code],
t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 1
FROM t_PGBA_DTL
INNER JOIN CPT_HCPCS_I9_PROC_CODES A
ON t_PGBA_DTL.PROC_CD
= A.[Proc code]
WHERE t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 0
--Get number of rows updated
--Process will continue until less than 50000
Select @rc=@@rowcount
--Commit the transaction
Commit
End

Mailing Labels In SQL Server Reporting Services
Jul 9, 2007I am creating a report to be used to print mailing labels. Size 1" x 2 5/8" (3 columns of 10 labels). I seem to have everything but the vertical spacing working properly. I have used a rectangle set to the size of the labels which contains a list box containing text boxes containing expressions to pull in the fields. Some of the street addresses are two lines with the majority being only one line.
I have joined the two fields containing the street addresses and inserted a new line command so each field will print on its own line but yet be contained within the same text box. Everything except the text box containing the street addresses are set to not increase or decrease. My problem is that on the pages of the report where labels vary between the one and two line street addresses the labels tend to creep down which in some cases causes data to be printed over two labels. Any ideas on what I can do to format these to print properly?
Thanks

Apr 25, 2008I have a Hits table that tracks the hits on the id of a Link table:
Hits:
int linkId (foreign Key to Link)
datetime dateCreated
varchar(50) ip
We recently had to merge Links from different systems that are implemented similarly. As a result, all the linkIds are now wrong in the Hits table because the ids all changed. I managed to track down all the old ids and their associated new ids and have it in a table that I call joined_links
joined_linksint oldId
int newId
So, how do I do a mass update of these linkIds in the Hits table in SQL? I know I could do it in .NET, but I'd rather not write an app to do that runs thousands of update statements. There's gotta be a way to do it something like this:
UPDATE Hits h SET h.linkId = (SELECT newId FROM joined_links WHERE oldId=h.linkId)
but obviously I don't have visibility of that linkId in the subselect... A Loop maybe?
Mass DTS Modification

Mass Update
May 8, 2008This is a run of the mill application that moves orders from one table to another. There are 2 tables, Ordersummary & HstOrders.
Ordersummary has the following columns...
Identifier
FollowupId
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderReferenceOrigin
......
......
HstOrders has the following columns...
Identifier
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderType
......
......
The above two tables are bound by Identifier. After each month end, Orders are moved from Ordersummary to HstOrders.
Now my task is to update all rows in OrderSummary with the order details as seen in HSTOrders for ordertype = 'CREDIT'. OrderReferenceOrigin(in Ordersummary) should be updated with the value of Orderreference(from hstorders).
I have to update each row at a time & I need to write a cursor for mass updates where ordersummary.identifier = hstorders.identifier.
Can someone please help with in writing this update statement as I never wrote a cursor.

Building A Mailing List
May 23, 2006Hi folks,
I'm building a DTS package which needs to mail a list of users nightly
The mailing list needs to be dynamic so I'm using the dynamic properties tab to populate the To, From etc. fields in an SMTP DTS task.
I need to construct a script which will run within the DTS package and build a mailing list file from a table of users in the connected db. The Dynamic properties task will then pull from this data file when populating the 'To' field.
The basic select statement is simple (e.g. SELECT email FROM employees WHERE role = 'mgr') however I need the output to be a single line of email addresses separated by commas (e.g. Email1,Email2,Email3....etc).
I'm a bit unsure on how to go about doing / writing this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Dave

Mailing Labels For Dummies
Mar 16, 2007Ok, I'm an idiot. Does anyone out there have some step by step instructions for creating a report that will do mailing labels. I've got multiple columns on my report but I end up with the contents of each column being the same across each grouping/row. In other words for each record read, since I have three columns, I get three occurances of each customer and address until all the data selected for that row is presented, then I go to the next customer which again is repeated across all three columns.
I'm sorry I'm so stupid, but I've looked at other entries on the forum, and I just can't figure it out. We are trying to get out from underneith Business objects thumb and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -
Mailing Result Set Rows
Jun 20, 2007In the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1071904&SiteID=1 mike.groh stated that you would define the result set as a data set variable through an execute sql task. He then pushed the variable out as a dataset type. (ds = CType(Dts.Variables("Email_CurrentDataset").Value, DataSet)
How would this type of object be declared as a user variable? Is it of type object? What is the logic behind converting a result set to a data set?
Specifically I am having problems with converting / casting the result set to a data set in that I am getting an error stating that it cannot convert the com object to a data.dataset class...

Mailing Label - How To Create?
Feb 5, 2007Hi, i am a newbie to reporting services.
Am trying to create a mailing label report so that it can pull out the details from the database and gets printed onto the label stickers correctly. However, no matter how i adjust the sizes of the report from the page properties, it's still not printed properly.
I have 7 label stickers on 1 mailing page, so let's say i have 13 records, that will be 2 mailing pages. Each label sticker is about 9cm width by 3.6 cm height. The gap between each label sticker is 0.2 cm
Can anyone advise me on how to go about doing it? By the way, i am using SSRS 2000.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)
Mailing Label Report
May 6, 2008i am once again working with mailing labels. I have designed the report in SQL Server Reporting Services to print in 3 columns with a body size of 2.625" wide by 1.00" high; a rectangle the same size which then contains a list the same size which contains the data fields. I get fairly good results when I print to one printer however, there does seem to be a bit of "creep" on the page. The problem really shows when trying to print to another network printer where when a user prints the report (labels) by the end of the page data is printing outside of the label margins. are there some properties that I'm missing that would prevent this or could this be related to printer settings?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs It Possible To Mass Update Stats?
Apr 17, 2006SQL Server 2000 on Win2k
I'm fairly new to SQL Server and I'm just wondering if it's possible to Update Statistice for all indexes somehow? I'm looking at the Update Statistics command and it doesn't seem to be possible.
The situation we have is a reporting DB that basically has all it's tables truncated and remade every night by some DTS jobs that import from another datasource and change the data and build some denormalzed tables etc.
Some of the large Insert operations go from taking 8 mins to taking several hours sometimes and updating the stats seems to fix the problem for a while. So I'd like to make sure the optimizer has all the latest stats for all tables.
Any other advice would be appreciated.

Mass SQL Inserts - Performance :-(
Aug 8, 2006Hi,
I have an user table with a single integer column. No indexes, no identities, nothing. I have to insert 600,000 rows via a client app. In tests, using BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS all runs OK (sub 3 seconds). However the app takes 5000 rows a second [considerably slower]. I can mimic this slow perfomance, within DTS, by removing the 'Fast Load' & 'Batch' options.
Question= why would the SQL insert run slower on one server and as fast as BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS on another? What can I check on the 'slow' running server? May there be a file version anomally ??
Version = SQL-2000 SP4
Any help much appreciated !!!

Mass Subscription Email Changes
Nov 15, 2007
The company i work for changed names and all email addresses within the company have changed. While it was OK for a while they are no longer going to be forwarding email to the old addresses to the new ones. There are Tons of subscriptions and tons of email addresses that need to be changed to the new names.
If i could find the table with the TO: part of the subscription held in it i could just run an update on that field and it would be solved...however, i cannot find that field...
So,
Without going into every subscription in report manager, how can i change the email addresses? Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance
How To Best Deploy Mass Packages ???
May 16, 2008Hi There
Most of the time my solutions consist of 1 or 2 packages and config files work well.
Now i have a solution with about 50 packages i have to move to QA.
However a config file has the package ID, so even thoug they use the same data source connection. I would have to create and change 50 config files.
Data sources are kept in the package xml , so if i copy all the packages to QA , and then change the Global Data Source connection, i still have to open each package maually and save it again.
Surely there must be an easy way to move all 50 packages and have the connection now point to QA. But config files and global data sources dont do the trick, what am i missing here ?
Thanx

View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware For Performing Mass Design Changes
Jun 28, 2001Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way, including third party tools, to replicate a design change on a table across many different databases. I have written an ASP script that allows me to copy multiple tables to multiple databases in one go but I need something that will allow me to replicate the design of a table by comparing source and destination tables. So far I have scripted most of it but I have no idea on which system table to get the identity information and it seems there must be an easier way!

Tempdb Filling Up - Mass Deletes
Dec 13, 2007Hi,
I've been having problems with my tempdb filling up, and causing all databases on the server to stop functioning properly. I've been removing alot of data lately (millions of rows), and I think this is the reason why my tempdb log is going thru an unusual load.
Whats the best way to make sure the tempdb doesnt fill up causing me major problems? I had temporarily turned off backups while I was having a new HD put in. Am I right in thinking that when a DB is backed up, the tempdb log is reduced in size? Should maintaining a daily backup solution help keep things under control ?
Thanks very much for any tips!

View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem With Mailing Labels And Line Feed
Aug 15, 2007I am trying to print mailing labels and suppress optional address lines to eliminate white space while maintaining label alignment. This is what I am trying but it does not work.
I create a function that determines the length of a field (i.e. street) and increments a counter if the length is zero. It also takes a second parameter that detremines whether to reset the counter. I then use the function in the visibility each row of the label table. Example iif(Code.LineLen(Fields!Street.Value)=0,True,False). I place this on the visibility of each row except the last as that is City,State,Zip and is required. On this last row the expession I use is
=Fields!city.Value & ", " & Fields!state.Value & " " & Fields!zip.Value & iif(Code.LineCount<5,StrDup(5-Code.LineCount,vbCRLF),""). What this is intended to do is print a carraige return and line feed for every row that did not print. Instead no line feeds occur. I have verified that the Code.LineCount is indeed calculating correctly (I printed the value). I've removed the conditional to make sure it has no issues but again nothing. For clarification the code block I am using is this.
Public LineCount as Integer=0
Function LineLen(byval LineIn as string,byval IsFirst as boolean) as Integer
if IsFirst=True then
LineCount=1
end if
If len(LineIn)>0 then
LineCount=LineCount+1
end if
LineLen=Len(LineIn)
end Function
So if anyone either knows why the line feeds do not occur or a better way to handle this please let me know. Thanks.
Sql Slowed To A Crawl After Deleting Mass Rows
Apr 25, 2007Hi,
I've deleted about 3-4 million rows from one of my tables as the data was old and no longer needed. The problem is that now queries are runnning extra slow. I am in the process of running taras isp_ALTER_INDEX however its taking quite a long time and seems to be slowing things down even further while its running as expected. (It's been running 4 hours already, I have stopped it and will rerun it a slower traffic period for the db server)
Just wondering if I have the right approach here or if anyone else has any suggestions.
Thanks for your help!
