I've recently tasked my self whereby I wish to rank the info off of a CV and then find matches for this information against a database containing job info, so I'm left with a list of jobs with their relevant perspective possible candidates. I'm thinking of importing the cv as text then manipulating it using Full_text ranking procedures.
Question is do people feel this is the best way of writing what is basically a matching process ?? Is there any 3rd party software out there which does this sort of thing already ??
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.
I was wondering what kind of SQL statement I would need to do the following:For example I have a table that has an ID (vID) column, product id (vPID) and a timestamp (vTime). What I essentially want to do is go through this table and find the top 10 instances of any vPID. I will illsutrate it below.- vID vPID vTime 1 25 101012323 2 25 101012323 3 09 101012323 4 25 101012323 5 25 101012323 6 11 101012323 7 25 101012323 8 10 101012323 9 10 101012323 10 25 101012323 11 25 101012323 12 25 101012323 13 25 101012323 14 11 101012323 15 25 101012323Now what I want to do is return the top vPID instances from highest to lowest so my output should return 25, 11, 10 etc.I hope what I'm asking made sense to you guys, basically im just looking for the top 10 instances of a any product id (vPID) Thanks.
Hello All, I am working on a ranking scenario for a client and I am stumped. Here's the situation...I have an aggregated table that has number of items sold for a salesperson for a given pay period. My client wants to the top 10 salespeople in a report. If two sales people tie, then they should have the same rank, and then the next salesperson in the ranking should have the appropriate number in the sort order. I am trying to figure out how to accomplish with the rank column below.
My small number of brain cells prohibits me from figuring this out. I've got a table
ProviderName EOPCodeTotalDenied Memorial Hosp66$4,598 Memorial HospA3$2,133 Memorial Hosp22$1,111 Memorial Hosp20$912 Memorial Hosp39$4,321 Memorial Hospb2$62 Parkdate Hospb2$6,251 Parkdate Hosp66$2,346 Parkdate Hosp22$1,252 Parkdate Hosp20$4,056 Stone HospV33$8,059
I need to output this table as below (with a denial rank for each hospital -- DESC sort on TotalDenied). I'm stuck on how to get the DenialRank column to work.
ProviderName EOPCodeTotalDeniedDenialRank Memorial Hosp66$4,5981 Memorial Hosp39$4,3212 Memorial HospA3$2,1333 Memorial Hosp22$1,1114 Memorial Hosp20$9125 Memorial Hospb2$626 Parkdate Hospb2$6,2511 Parkdate Hosp20$4,0562 Parkdate Hosp66$2,3463 Parkdate Hosp22$1,2524 Stone HospV33$8,0591
Im working on a table in SQL server 2005 (sp2). A piece of that table is as below. I need a SQL code that adds a new column called rank that ranks starting from 0 by Tire_ID by date asc. For example, for Tire_ID = 41317 and 41350 the result will look like in the second table:
I have a sales report showing Customer, tons shipped, and sales amount with two parameters: year and month. I want to show the ranking by month by both tons and sales. It is easy enough to sort the results by one of the measures and compute a line number but I can't seem to get the rank function to work to compute the ranking by two different measures.
I have a table that has several dozen account numbers. In the same table, each account number has several thousand control numbers (apparently the person who designed the DB never heard of Dr. Codd).
Anyway, I want to get the last five created control numbers for each account number. I have a "CreatedDateTime" field that I can use to order the control numbers by creation. I can use the Top and Rank functions to get the last five for an individual account number but I cannot seem to produce a solution with the last five for each account number.
I was trying to extract data from the source server using OLEDB Source and SQL Server Destination when i encountered this error:
"Transaction (Process ID 135) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
What must be done so that even if the table being queried is locked, i wouldn't experience any deadlock?
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
I'm building a standard search function for this project im working on and I wanted to know how could I do the following; Basically want I am using the standard "LIKE" function to search keywords but I also want to rank the returns based on how many matches. For example if someone uses the keywords "dog run park fast" and I have a couple of records that have certain amount combinations with these words, how would I return the one that has the most combinations to the least. If one record had "dog, run,park", another has "dog run" and the last would have "fast". How would I being those results in that order.Thanks for any help.
The problem is : I have table : -------------------------------- ...User ... Speed(minute)... Maria 0.8 John 0.5 Alan 0.8 Anne 2.0 Smith 1.0 Kate 1.5 Evan 1.5 --------------------------------
---> I wanna set ranking for them such as:
Rank.....User.....Speed(minutes) 1 John 0.5 2 Maria 0.8 2 Alan 0.8 4 Smith 1.0 5 Kate 1.5 5 Evan 1.5 7 Anne 2.0 ---------------------------------
A few weeks ago i posted this and got it to work perfectly. Now im trying to retreive the '3' closest stores rather than just the '1' closest store. How would I go about doing this? I tried using 'TOP 3' in the subquery but you can only retrieve one value.
Here is the origonal post:
"I have a table containing 100 stores, 5000 customers, and the distance between each store and each customer. I am trying to build a query that simply lists each customer and which store is closest and its distance.
Right now it looks like this: Customer1|store1|33 Customer1|store2|15 Customer1|store3|28 Customer1|store4|35
SELECT CustomerPost, StorePost, StoreName, Distance FROM Customer_Store_Distance2 as T WHERE (Distance = (SELECT MIN(Distance) FROM Customer_Store_Distance2 WHERE CustomerPost = T.CustomerPost))
how I could achieve a ranking number, where I have some grouping involved.I want to have the groups in sets of 4, but if I get to a new person the ranking increases, even if I haven't filled the group. For example:
Name Year Sales Ranking -------------------- ----------- ----------- -------------------- John Smith 2009 1296 1 John Smith 2010 1296 1 John Smith 2011 1296 1 John Smith 2012 1296 1 John Smith 2013 1296 2
[code]....
So, when I get to John's 5 year, the Rank increased. I then only had two more rows before I get to Nina, but the Rank number goes up, as the details are for a different person from the prior user.
Select *, DENSE_RANK() over (Order by Name) + ((RANK() over (Partition by Name Order by Year) - 1) /4) as Ranking from #Test Order by Name, Year
Drop Table #TestThis works for John, but Nina then has a Ranking of 2 for her only year, where as she should be 3. Steve also then has a value one too low for all of his ranks.
I have tried to get answers on this before, but haven't had any luck. I am working on trying to finish a report using SSRS in Visual Studio.
The report is a Sales report. I have the report grouped by Location of our Offices and their Customers grouped underneath. The Customers revenue is Summed on the Customers group footer. I have this sorted by Top customer (highest revenue) to lowest customer (lowest revenue). This is fine and great, but now I need to limit the number of Customers (there could be upwards of 100 or more per Office) to the Top 20.
I would like to do this on the report side, but if I need to do it in my SQL query I will.
I would like to get the row number for the Customer group footer. Then I can limit these <=20, but when trying on the report side doing
=rownumber(Customer)
I get an aggregate function error for incorrect Scope.
Any help would definately be appreciated. I have been stuck for about a week now trying to figure this out.
I'm pulling data from Oracle db and load into MS-SQL 2008.For my data type checks during the data load process, what are options to ensure that the data being processed wouldn't fail. such that I can verify first in-hand with the target type of data and then if its valid format load it into destination table else mark it with error flag and push into errors table... All this at the row level.One way I can think of is to load into a staging table then get the source & destination table -column data types, compare them and proceed.
should I just try loading the data directly and if it fails try trouble shooting(which could be a difficult task as I wouldn't know what caused error...)
Hi everyone,I am interested in showing a ranking of each result that I get. Basically, the results will be the time of a race along with their name. However, what I want to do is also have a third column that will show their place. I would like my result to be like this:Place Name Time 1 Bob 1:00.002 Bill 1:00.012 Rob 1:00.014 Jill 1:00.025 Jon 1:00.035 Joe 1:00.037 Jane 1:00.04 Records are constantly being added to the table, so the place must be calculated dynamically. Now, I do realize that SQL 2005 has the wonderful RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [time]) AS [Place] feature, but unfortunately SQL 2000 does not have that mechanism. What is the best way to display these results? Should they be included calculated on the SQL side or using the datagridview control? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jason
I am having an issue with a SQL query I wrote in SQL 2000. I am almost there but am lacking in one area, hoping a better programmer than me and a fresh set of eyes can pick off my mistake.
The goal is very straight forward, order and rank the following fields: R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
The issue lies in my sub query in the AND / OR joins... This query will work if I sort and rank on two fields, but if I try three or more it does not work properly.
( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblWeeklyStandings_All R2 WHERE R2.AutoPoolID = R1.AutoPoolID AND R2.Week = R1.Week AND ( R2.PSWins > R1.PSWins OR R2.PSWins = R1.PSWins AND R2.PSPoints_Total > R1.PSPoints_Total OR R2.PSPoints_Total = R1.PSPoints_Total AND R2.PSTBDifference < R1.PSTBDifference ) ) + 1 AS Rank
FROM dbo.tblWeeklyStandings_All R1 INNER JOIN dbo.qryUsers_SDR ON R1.AutoPoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.AutoPoolID AND R1.PoolID = dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PoolID WHERE (R1.PoolType = '2007' OR R1.PoolType = '2008') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.OrderBy1 = '6') AND (dbo.qryUsers_SDR.PointSpread = 1)
ORDER BY R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference
At this point I am ready to buy SQL 2005 because I think this gets easier, hoping a 2000 wiz can help me correct my error, or missing "(", or something!
Here are the results: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 4. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
As you can see the ranking is not correct. It should be the following: Rank Username Wins Points TB Difference 1. test 0618084 16 50 0 2. test 0618083 16 50 66 3. test 0618081 15 50 55 4. test 0618082 14 50 55 5. admin 2 0 0
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not, frustrating!
In different scenerios, I am ranking the following way when ties occur. My code sometimes does this correctly but as you can see above it fails in certain areas, like it forgets R1.PSWins DESC, R1.PSPoints_Total DESC, R1.PSTBDifference....
Rank 1 Tied 1 Tied 3 4 5 Tied 5 Tied 5 Tied 8
etc...
The most frustrating thing is the sort order is correct, it is the rank sub query that fails under certain scenerious...
Just can't figure this out. I'll try not to give a long-winded explanation (I hope), let's say this is the table, for example: [Table1] RowNumber | Value 1 | 4 2 | 6 3 | 3 4 |10 5 | 6 6 | 5 7 | 8 8 | 8 9 | 2 10 | 6
I want to write a query that creates a column whose values are similar to (ROW_NUMBER -1), and resets each time a value is present. Using the above example, 6 will be the test value. So, I want to know how many rows it takes till 6 is repeated.
I think PARTITION BY can be used somewhere, with the ORDER BY on the [RowNumber] - but I'm just not sure on which ranking function to use, and how to reset the Ranking on the number 6 (above example).
Any help would be appreciated. This has been a mind-teaser for me, and I give
I am having this table locking issue that I need to start paying attention to as its getting more frequent.
The problem is that the data in the tables is live finance data that needs to be changed and viewed almost real time so what I have picked up so far is that using 'table Hints' may not be a good idea.
I have a guy at work telling me that introducing a data access layer is the only way to solve this, I am not convinced but havnt enough knowledge to back my own feeling up. (asp system not .net).
There are three columns I need to query and rank, then group and total. I'm using MS SQL server 2000 and it doesn’t have a ranking function like the newer SQL server and oracle has. Does anyone have a clever way to create or simulate a ranking function? Thanks so much! Jake :confused:
I need to use mssql to create a ranking of some kind. This is the situation: I need to assign position to a list of students based on thier scores. e.g Student Score Position StudentA 56 4 StudentB 78 1 StudentC 66 2 StudentD 56 4
I need to create the positions based on the scores of the ctudents. I will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
i know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but, does anybody know of a reasonably understandable way to rank XML node path results based on keyword search terms? seems like there are tons of uber-complex docs on the internet about this. i dont mind if it is a bit of a work-around, i am just looking for something that is reasonable non-complex that i can wrap my mind around. links etc apprecaited.
