What I need to do is merge the two tables into a single table based on the matching timestamp:
timestamp, servername1, servername2 as headers then values under
"1/1/1-1:10:1" , "10" , "10" - as an example
"1/1/1-1:20:1" , "20" , "21" - as an example
"1/1/1-1:30:1" , "1" , "5" - as an example
Powershell or MSSQL 2008 queries work.
I have a powershell script atm that can create the table and then throw it back into the database but its very slow because of the amount of records.
The table is for some performance stat collection app.
Table #1 records a timestamp, the servername (which is the same over and over in the table) and the value of the performance object.
Table #2 is the same collection but for a different server.
The layout in the database is terrible but this is what I get to work with.
I have tables in my database, tblNames1, tblNames2, tblNames3 for ex, and for addresses tblAddresses, can I match the address IDs in the names tables to the address table based on the values of a field? In this case CompanyName. Can they be matched automatically? My issue is that I have a huge CSV file with all the address information that needs to be assigned a foreign key based on the company name field which is also present in all the names tables, all the names are normalized.
I have 4 rows below in file tblTEST, and I want to be able to transfer the CODE from the MAIN location to the INT location (replacing all existing "A" codes), preceeded by an "I".
ID LOC CODE -- ----- ------ 11 MAIN B 11 INT A 22 MAIN C 22 INT A
I want the result to be:
ID LOC CODE -- ----- ------ 11 MAIN B 11 INT IB 22 MAIN C 22 INT IC
I am stumped as to how to do this - any help or advice would be appreciated.
The only thing I've come up with is:
UPDATE S SET s.code = B.code FROM tbltest B LEFT OUTER JOIN tbltest S ON B.id = S.id WHERE (S.loc = 'INT')
In my database I want to archive some rows based on the time stamp. I read that horizontal partitioning will do that. This partitioning will insert the rows from the table into some other Database - Tablename. In retrivng those rows back I need to issue separate queries and UNION the result set. Is this way is correct or there any better ways to do this? If it is I have another question. If I add a new column to the table I partitioned, what will happen to the table that I stored in other Database. Is that going to add this new column too?
If possible please give me a sample code or queries to partition the database.
Let's say I have a list of IDs called EntryID and each EntryID can belong to ONE table out of a group of six, what is the best way to get a listing of these?
For example:
select r.* from #Reminders r left join mytable1 mt1 on (r.EntryID = mt1.EntryID) left join mytable2 mt2 on (r.EntryID = mt2.EntryID) left join mytable3 mt3 on (r.EntryID = mt3.EntryID) left join mytable4 mt4 on (r.EntryID = mt4.EntryID)
As you can see, #Reminders has one field called EntryID (and many rows).
In my example above, only ONE of those tables will actually be able to join but I have no idea which one has the matching EntryID.
What is the best way for me to do this? I want to grab "ReportStatus" from the corresponding "mytable"... (each "mytable" has a ReportStatus column)
I have resulting rows from a query similar to the following:
The data is coming from a single table that contains only one coverage code column and one coverage code date, but the end user wants the two coverage code types and dates combined into a single row. So the SELECT looks something like this:
SELECT [Employee ID] = emp.employee_id, [Coverage Code 1] = enr.coverage_code, [Coverage Date 1] = enr.coverage_date, [Coverage Code 2] = case when enr.product_type = 'Accident.Accident' then enr.coverage_code else NULL end,
[Code] ....
I basically want to merge the like Employee ID's together into a single row like the following:
I know I have done this before and it is probably pretty simple.
I'm having problems with a stored procedure, that i'm hoping someone can help me with.
I have a table with 2 columns - Username (varchar), LastAllocation (datetime)
The Username column will always have values, LastAllocation may have NULL values. Example
Username | LastAllocation ------------------------ Greg | 02 October 2005 15:30 John | 02 October 2005 18:00 Mike | <NULL>
My stored procedure needs to pull back a user name with the following criteria:
If any <NULL> dates send username of first person where date is null, sorted alphabetically, otherwise send username of person with earliest date from LastAllocation
Then update the LastAllocation column with GETDate() for that username.
This SP will be called repeatedly, so all users will eventually have a date, then will be cycled through from earliest date. I wrote an SP to do this, but it seems to be killing my server - the sp works, but I then can't view the values in the table in Enterprise Manager. SP is below - can anyone see what could be causing the problem, or have a better soln? Thanks Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CREATE PROCEDURE STP_GetNextSalesPerson AS DECLARE @NextSalesPerson varchar(100)
BEGIN TRAN
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM REF_SalesTeam WHERE LeadLastAllocated IS NULL) > 0 BEGIN SELECT TOP 1 @NextSalesPerson = eUserName FROM REF_SalesTeam WHERE LeadLastAllocated IS NULL ORDER BY eUserName ASC END ELSE BEGIN SELECT TOP 1 @NextSalesPerson = eUserName FROM REF_SalesTeam ORDER BY LeadLastAllocated ASC END
SELECT @NextSalesPerson UPDATE REF_SalesTeam SET LeadLastAllocated = GETDATE() WHERE eUserName = @NextSalesPerson
I have table "Clients" who have associated records in table "Mailings" I want to populate a gridview using a single query that grabs all the info I need so that I may utilize the gridview's built in sorting. I'm trying to return records containing the next upcoming mailing for each client.
The closest I can get is below: I'm using GROUP BY because it allows me to return a single record for each client and the MIN part allows me to return the associated record in the mailings table for each client that contains the next upcoming 'send_date'
SELECT MIN(dbo.tbl_clients.client_last_name) AS exp_last_name, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.send_date) AS exp_send_date, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id) AS exp_user_id, dbo.tbl_clients.client_id, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.mailing_id) AS exp_mailing_idFROM dbo.tbl_clients INNER JOIN dbo.tbl_mailings ON dbo.tbl_clients.client_id = dbo.tbl_mailings.client_idWHERE (dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id = 1000)GROUP BY dbo.tbl_clients.client_id The user_id set at 1000 part is what makes it rightly pull in all clients for a particular user. Problem is, by using the GROUP BY statement I'm just getting the lowest 'mailing_id' number and NOT the actual entry associated with mailing item I want to return. Same goes for the last_name field. Perhaps I need to have a subquery within my WHERE clause?Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely..
And by correctly, I mean the way it *should* match, of course.I've got 2 data sources, using a left outer join, matching 2 columns. Whatever is the right side of my table is never matching and returning data. Here's my basic setup:OLE DB Source 1 (table1) Sel Name Order JoinKeyno UniqueID 1 yesyes Column1 0 no ...
OLE DB Source 2 (table2) Sel Name Order JoinKeyyes ID 1 yesyes Columns 0 no ...
There is a link (arrow) between UniqueID and ID, and the join type is "Left Outer Join". When I execute the statement "SELECT * FROM Table1 LEFT JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.UniqueID = Table2.ID", the data returns correctly to me. What am I missing with the properties I've set above with the merge join?
I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.
insert into TABLE1 (THING,PERSONORGROUP,ACCESSRIGHTS) VALUES ((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER2')),255)
I get the following-
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
how to convert float to timestamp in single select query..for exp. i have float as 1.251152515236 ,i want to convert this to datetime and from datetime to timestamp... i.e. 26:11:00
I want to select columns from different tables into a single table...Not sure if a temp table is suited for this and if so how I should implement it (NOTE: this query will be executed many times by different users at the same time, so I'd rather avoid temp tables!)I have:TABLE1idfirstnamedescriptioncreatedateTABLE2idcarnamespecificationsimportdateNow, I want a resultset that has the columns (columns from other tables from which the values should be retreived are behind the desired columns):id (TABLE1.id, TABLE2.id)title (TABLE1.firstname , TABLE2.carname)description (TABLE1.description , TABLE2.sepcifications)date (TABLE1.createdate , TABLE2.importdate)Thanks!
Hi, We are building an application for online system for people to place ADs for selling various used items like Car, Electronics, Houses, Books etc. If someone selling a car then he can fill out headline, year, make, model, mileage, transmission, condition, color, price, description, contact etc. Similarly if someone selling a digital camera he will fillout headline, memory, zoom, megapixel, maker, model, color, batter, description etc. Option 1: I can have a main table to hold the common attributes of all different types of ADs (headline, images, contact, price, color, condition, description) + 1 table to store string values of all ADs (car: maker, model, square feet (if house), memory, megapixel (camera) etc) + 1 table to store the droplist select values(car: transmission, door, seat etc; house: year_built) pros: single table for all ADs. unique IDs for all ADs, easy to extend as new attributes can be dropped easily. cons: lot of physical reads of 2nd and 3rd table from join. 10 times physical reads compared to option 2 when reading 5000 records. Option 2: have different set of table for each AD type. Car will have its own main table + 1 table to store multiselect list box values. Similarly housing will have its own set of tables pros: 10% less physical read than option 1. cons: hard to add new attributes. We have to modify the main table by adding one column. Query will go to different table based on the category. Do you have any suggestions on which way to go?Thanks
I have tables in my database, tblNames1, tblNames2, tblNames3, and a main addresses table (currently empty). Once I've imported the address data I need to match the addressIDs in the names tables to the Primary ID in the address table based on the values of a field CompanyName (which is common to all the tables) My issue is that I have a huge CSV file with the master address information but obviously SQL server needs to assign foreign keys so the names tables can linked to corresponding rows in address table. It's a a many to 1 relationship as their will be one address with multiple name entries. All the names are normalized so everything can be matched up...
I posted the questions in sql forum and got good sql statement to work with it.. However, I want to see if there is a way to do it in SSIS..
May be this is really basic questions but I am having hard time to do it in sql server 2005 SSIS..
I have a flat file that I want to merge with table in SQL server 2005.
1> I have successfully created a data flow task to import data from flat file to Table X (new table I created for this package).
Now here is my question. I have a Table A already in the database with the same column structure as of TableX (Both the tables have 20 columns/same Name/Same design).
I want to merge Table A and Table X and stored the data in TableA. However, I just don't want to merge blindly, I need to insert a new row in Table A only if the same row does not exist in Table A (there is no primary key, i am looking certain fields to see if the rows are same)..
Here is an example: Table A -------------- 1 test test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 2 test test6 test7 test8 test9 test10
Table X ------------ 1 test test1 test2 test99 test4 test5 2 test test98 test97 test 96 test95 test94 -------------------------------------------------------- Now, I want to only insert row 2 of Table X since there is match on 4 of the fields in row1.. The new Table A should look like
NEW Table A' -----------------
test test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 test test98 test97 test 96 test95 test94
------------------------------------ I think, I could do this using Execute SQL task and write all the code in sql, but that will be cumbersome and time consuming.. Is there a simpler way to achieve this?
I have 3 tables with the follwing schema Table <Category> {
UniqueID, LastDate DateTime }
Assume the follwing tables with data following the above schema
Table Cat1 {
1, D1 2, D2 3, D3 } Table Cat2 {
2, D4 3,D5 4, D6 } Table Cat3 {
1, D7 3,D8 5,D9 }
I have a Master and the schema is as follows Table master {
UniqueId, Cat1 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat2 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat3 DateTime -- This is same as the Table name }
After inserting the data from all these 3 tables, I want the my master table to look like this Table Master {
Here with the below query iam binding my gridview with industry name,company name,Plant Name,Group Name related to the IDs in Audit table.Select Aud.Ad_ID_PK,Aud.Audit_Name,Ind.Industry_Name,Cmp.Company_Name,Pla.Plant_Name,Gr.Groups_Name,Aud.Audit_Started_On,Aud.Audit_Scheduledto,Aud.Audit_Created_On from Industry Ind, Company Cmp, Plant Pla, Groups Gr, Audits Audwhere Ind.Ind_Id_PK =Aud.Audit_Industry and Cmp.Cmp_ID_PK =Aud.Audit_Company and Pla.Pl_ID_PK =Aud.Audit_Plant and Gr.G_ID_PK =Aud.Audit_Group and Ad_ID_PK in (select Ad_ID_PK from Audits) Now i want to edit these names. when i click on edit in gridview these names will be filled into textboxes and when i change the names it should compare the name with particular tables and should get the Id of that and store in Audits table. For example: i have this data in my audits table:
Commercial83312
2 2 2 1 Here Commercial83312 is ID of that Audit and 2,2,2,1 are the Industry,Company,Plant and group Ids for that particular audit.In the front end i can see the names of this particular IDs. when i edit the industry name in the UI it must check the name with industry table and get the ID of the changed name and store it in audit table. so the data may be changed in audits table as :
Commercial83312
4 2 2 1
so here the industry ID is changed I need the stored procedure for this. please help me,its very urgent...
I'm looking for the best solution for creating database tables based on a Word Document with a table. I've attached part of the table from the word doc. This document is base on a template for audit reporting.
What I assume is I would need first to start of by creating two tables. One table would consist of the fields of the horizontal upper most data e.g. conformance, noncomformance etc. The other table would consist of the vertical fields of the word doc table, e.g. editorial, Auditee Name etc. If my assumption is correct, what primary key and foreign key would I need to have?
where name comes from the info table, and number of items comes from the store table.
Query something like:
show the total number of items for all those users (in the fashion Name, Number of items)from the store table, for all those whose level=something and base=something in the auth table.
For example,
if there are 10 users whom match level=something and base=something in the auth table,
What I want displayed is: ------------------------ Name Number of Items ------------------------ user1 10 user2 15 user3 20 .... user10 30 -----------------------
which if broken up is: select name from info where aid=X select count(*) from store where aid=X ..
for all those whose base=something and level=something from auth.
I have a patient record and emergency contact information. I need to find duplicate phone numbers in emergency contact table based on relationship type (RelationType0 between emergency contact and patient. For example, if patient was a child and has mother listed twice with same number, I need to filter these records. The case would be true if there was a father listed, in any cases there should be one father or one mother listed for patient regardless. The link between patient and emergency contact is person_gu. If two siblings linked to same person_gu, there should be still one emergency contact listed.
Below is the schema structure:
Person_Info: PersonID, Person Info contains everyone (patient, vistor, Emergecy contact) First and last names Patient_Info: PatientID, table contains patient ID and other information Patient_PersonRelation: Person_ID, patientID, RelationType Address: Contains address of all person and patient (key PersonID) Phone: Contains phone # of everyone (key is personID)
The goal to find matching phone for same person based on relationship type (If siblings, then only list one record for parent because the matching phones are not duplicates).
I have a form to assign JOB SITES to previously created PROJECT. The JOB SITES appear in the DataList as it varies based on customer. It can be 3 to 50 JOB SITES per PROJECT. I have "PROJECT" table with all necessary fields for project information and "JOBSITES" table for job sites. I also created a new table called "PROJECTSITES" which has only 2 columns: "ProjectId" and "SiteId". What I am trying to do is to insert multiple rows into that "PROJECTSITES" table based on which checkbox was checked. The checkbox is located next to each site and I want to be able to select only the ones I need. Btw the Datalist is located inside of a formview and has it's own datasource which already distincts which JOBSITES to display. Sample: ProjectId - SiteId 1 - 5 1 - 9 1 - 16 1 - 18 1 - 20 1 - 27 1 - 31 ProjectId stays the same, only values for SiteId are being different. I hope I explaining it right. Do I have to use some sort of loop to go through the automatically populated DataList records and how do I make a multiple inserts to database table? We use SQL Server 2005 and VB for code behind. Please ask if I missed on some information. Thank you in advance.
Hey all, Got a little problem. have 2 matching tables on different servers with the EXACT same column layout and data (the tables are being replicated with MSSQL7) and one table is 200MB while the other is 2000MB. I'm running MSSQL7 SP2. Any ideas???

I am new to SQL and these forums, and have a quick simple question.
I am trying to view the records that do not match in 2 tables. I have tried a few different ways but keep getting results in the hundreds of thousands and the table only has 36 thousand reocrds.
Here is an example of what the two tables contain.
Table 1 customer_no eaddress_no name address (36000 records)
I have a situation where I want to pull strings from one table of a SQL 2000database and find matches for it in other tables of the same database andhave those values returned. i.e. In one table I have prospects and I wantto match their names to a table that stores the names of prospects turnedinto customers. I want to write a query that looks through every entry andreturns a match for each corresponding value (from prospects to customers).So if "Smith" is found in prospects I want SQL to return "Smith" incustomers with full contact info.Any pointers on getting started on this is greatly appreciated. Or if youcould just point me to a reference. Obviously, I need to do some kind ofparsing. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.Thx.
