Hi there,
My 'where' clause contains the following...
startdate <= @Date AND enddate > @Date
Should I put one index on 'startDate' and another on 'endDate' or should I have one index that covers both columns?
I don't know what the difference would be.
Cheers, XF.
Hi,Would like to know the performance differenece between Multi-columnIndex vs Single Column Indexes. Let's say I have a table with col1,col2, col3 along with a primary key column and non-indexed columns.In queries, I will use col1, col2, and col3 together and some timesjust one or two of these three columns. My questions is, should Icreate one index contains col1, col2, and col3, or create 3 seperatedcolumns. I.e. each column has its own index. Any performancedifference?Thanks a lot.

Dear All.
We had Teradata 4700 SMP. We have moved data from TD to MS_SQL SERVER 2003. records are 19.65 Millions.
table is >> Order_Dtl
Columns are:-
Client_ID varchar 10
Order_ID varchar 50
Order_Sub_ID decimal
.....
...
..
.
Pk is (ClientID+OrderId+OrderSubID)
Web Base application or PDA devices use to initiate the order from all over the country. The issue is this table is not Partioned but good HP with 30 GB RAM is installed. this is main table that receive 18,0000 hits or more. All brokers and users are using this table to see the status of their order.
The always search by OrderID, or ClientID or order_SubNo, or enter any two like (Client_ID+Order_Sub_ID) or any combination.
Query takes to much time when ever server receive more querys. some orther indexes are also created on the same table like (OrderDate, OrdCreate Date and Status)
My Question are:-
Q1. IF Person "A" query to DB on Client_ID, then what Index will use ? (If any one do Query on any two combination like Client_ID+Order_ID, So what index will be uesd.? How does MS-SQL SERVER deal with these kind of issues.?
Q2. If i create 3 more indexes on ClientID, ORderID and OrdersubID. will this improve the performance of query.if person "A" search record on orderNo so what index will be used. (Mind it their would be 3 seprate indexes for Each PK columns) and composite-Clustered index is also available.?
Q3. I want to check what indexes has been used? on what search?
Q4. How can i check what table was populated when, or last date of update (DML)?
My Limitation is i Dont Create a Partioned table. I dont have permission to do it.
In Teradata we had more than 4 tb record of CRM data with no issue. i am not new baby in db line but not expert in sql server 2003.
I am thank u to all who read or reply.

I am trying to exclude records from a table where the ID column is the same but the Mail code Column is multi-valued.For Example: (the table looks like....)
ID Mail_code
111111 XNT
111111 N11
111111 XNC
222222 XNC
222222 XNL
333333 XNC
So, if there is any ID that has a value of XNC, I want to exclude the ID all together from my output regardless of the other values.
I have two tables, one a data table, the other a product table. I want to perform a join on the two tables with values distributed into columns based on the value in the month field.
data_table
product_code month value
350 1 10
350 2 20
350 3 30
product_table
product_code profit_center
350 4520
result_view
product_code profit_center mon1 mon2 mon3
350 4520 10 20 30
My current query gives the following result
result_view
product_code profit_center mon1 mon2 mon3
350 4520 10 0 0
350 4520 0 20 0
350 4520 0 0 30
Any direction toward a solution would be appreciated. Am using SS2005.
In my report i would have 2 groups.
The first group should cause a real page break, the secound group should cause a column break.
Any idea on how to realize this, i've been playing with quite some settings but .....
So, any help ...

Thanks a lot.
Hello everyone, I am new to ERWIN and I need helps from the experts outthere.We are using ERWin 4.1.2771 and have reversed engineered some MS SQLServer 2000 databases.The problem we are having is that we have a FK on a column to a tablewhere the PK of the referencing table is on another column (such as anidentity column). We have a unique index on the column in the PK tableand SQL Server allows you to build a FK reference even though thecolumn is not defined as the PK.Does anyone know how to create this type of FK within Erwin?Thank You
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 6 columns:
Column1a, Column1, Column2a, Column2, Column3a, Column3
I need a statement that will go through the whole table as follows:
For each row, if column3 is not null then return column3 as columnB and column3a as ColumnA.
If column3 is null then if column2 is not null then return column2 as columnB and column2a as columnA.
If column3 & column2 is null then return column1 as columnB and column1a as columnA.

Hi All,
I have the following Ex:
Table A
Col A <- Col that I need to check against
Col B
Col C <- Sum this col
So if Col A has the following values:
Col A Col C

4 15.00
2 25.00
4 15.00
3 10.00
3 5.00
7 4.00
9 20.00
I need to bring back the sums of 2, 4 and 3 in one resultset. How would I do this?

Hi,
I have a [TestTable] table with three rows. The pair of columns [Test1] and [Test2] are id, the [Test3] is a data column. First, I get a table variable with list of id pairs. Next, I would like to update the rows of that ids. However, I have not found the elegant way how to do it. For one column it is simple, just IN clause, which does not work (or I could not find how) for multi-columns. Does someone have a hint?
Thanks,
Martin
Note: The example bellow is dummy; on the other hand, I hope it shows the important points. Please, do not beat me on syntax errors.
Code Block
DECLARE @MyTableVar table(
Test1 int NOT NULL,
Test2 int NOT NULL
);
SELECT [Test1],[Test2] INTO @MyTableVar FROM [TestTable] WHERE [Test3] = '%dd%';
UPDATE [TestTable] SET [Test3] = [Test3] + 'ds'
WHERE ([Test1], [Test2]) IN (SELECT [Test1], [Test2] FROM @MyTableVar);
Is it possible to create multi column keys in SQL Express? If so, how?

Hi,
I am trying to use a multi column report as a subreport. I want to know how can I do it without loosing multi column.
Thanks,

What I need to do is to create 3 columns with 3 different aliases from the same table that will return all the values during the following conditions:
when pricelist = 1
when pricelist = 2
when pricelist = 3
pricelist
--------
1
2
3
Price
--------
912 -- (linked with 1)
234 -- (linked with 3)
56 -- (linked with 2)
3245 -- (linked with 3)
234 -- (linked with 1)
65 -- (linked with 2)
these 2 columns are in the same table^^
so what i want my query to generate is:
Price1
--------
912
234
Price2
--------
56
65
Price3
--------
234
3245
Any help is apprecieated, thanks
if the above does not make sense to you maybe this will:
"can you make 3 aliases of the same column and only display the rows inside each column where pricelist = 1 for the 1st alias... where price = 2 for the 2nd alias...where pricelist = 3 for the 3rd alias"
I have a 2 coulmns report ,one group ,when I print the report,it does not paging correctly.For example,suppose every column can display 20 rows, if every group has 20-40 rows ,the print is ok,it can paging correctly,but if one group has 10 rows or more than 40 and less than 60,the two groups will print on one paper,how can I print the every group on different paper?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I've added a link to a sample on how my test-column report renders.

Any idea what's happening, while normally previewing the report (column by page) this problem doesn't occur .... The rendering is the same to TIFF

Any suggestion on what is the problem and even better, if there is a solution.
Hi,
I have created a multi column report (2 columns), which is working fine. However, I need to have a chart on the same report, but it needs to be the width of the page, and not just the width of one column.
If I could put the chart in the report footer / header that would be perfect, but obviously I can't!
Has anyone else come across this, and any ideas / suggestions you have would be appreciated!
Cheers

I am trying to get a simple list to wrap and print in multiple columns on my report. I have indicated 3 multi-columns in the report properties and see the multiple columns in the layout, but I must need to do something else because the report is still printing in one column to multiple pages. This should all fit on 1 page if the list will wrap or snake as it says it the directions for using multi-column reports.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am working with a table that has a column which stores multiple data/values that are comma separated.
I need to be able to query that table and get those rows where the values in that column match a pre-defined search list.
I was thinking of somehow trying to take the search list and convert it to a table(temp or a cte) and then JOIN to the table.
however, since the column may contain multiple values, i would need to parse/separate that first. I am not sure how to parse and then join to a list (if that is even the best way to solve this) to only get the rows where the search column contains one or more of the items we're looking for.
Below is some sample data:
Declare @BaseTable table (PKCol int, Column2Search varchar(2000))
Insert into @BaseTable (PKCol, Column2Search)
Select 1001, 'apple,orange,grapefruit'
UNION ALL
Select 1002, 'grapefruit,coconut'
UNION ALL

I have a multi-column report with a page header that spans the width of the report. Whenever I close the report and reopen it, the header is changed to the width of the column. This isn't a real big deal because I deploy it with the header across the whole page; but once in a blue moon I accidentally hit the F5 key (which I am used to using for refresh in other environments I work in) and the report gets redeployed with the messed up header. Is there anyway to stop RS from automatically adjusting the page header?
And is there anyway to disable the F5 key from deploying the reports. I do use it to build and run windows apps, and don't want to change that, but I don't want to deploy 80+ reports when I accidentially hit it.
Thanks.
I created an SSRS Multi-Column Report that sets the Column-Spacing to 0 inches.
However, when I export the report to PDF the columns are approxiametly .125 inches apart from one another.

Does anyone know why this happens or how to enforce the column spacing?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have been pulling my hair trying to figure out what the guys at microsoft were thinking when creating the ADOX library. I have an access table that is syncronized with a SQL server. The table has a primary key with two columns [User] and [Program]. The SQL Server has both columns in as the primary key columns and I have a syncronization mechanism that is responsible for several things, one of which is to recreate the Access data structure. All works well for all tables except this one. I have tried to create the multi-column key in several ways, none that worked. Let me show you what I am doing:
CatalogClass catDCDLocal;
Column c;
catDCDLocal = new CatalogClass();
catDCDLocal.let_ActiveConnection(dbAccess.buildConnectionString(Settings.CattDCDLocalPath, Settings.SecurityDBPath, s.UserID, s.Password));
foreach (Table tbl in catDCDLocal.Tables) {
if (tbl.Name == "Users") {
/* This is retarded so need to clean up... Users table has a primary key consisting of 2 columns */
for (int i = tbl.Keys.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) { //remove the keys
tbl.Keys.Delete(i);
}
for (int i = tbl.Indexes.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) { //remove the indexes
tbl.Indexes.Delete(i);
}
tbl.Keys.Append("PrimaryKey", KeyTypeEnum.adKeyUnique, "User", "", "");
tbl.Keys[0].Columns.Append("Program", DataTypeEnum.adWChar, 6);
}
}
I have also tried:
tbl.Keys.Append("PrimaryKey", KeyTypeEnum.adKeyUnique, "User", "", "");
//tbl.Keys[0].Columns.Append("Program", DataTypeEnum.adWChar, 6);
Key k = tbl.Keys[0];
Column col = tbl.Columns["Program"];
//col.ParentCatalog = catDCDLocal;
k.Columns.Append(col, DataTypeEnum.adWChar, 6);
Nothing works for me ;-(
Hi all,A (possibly dumb) question, but I've had no luck finding a definitiveanswer to it. Suppose I have two tables, Employees and Employers, whichboth have a column named "Id":Employees-Id-FirstName-LastName-SSNetc.Employers-Id-Name-Addressetc.and now I perform the following join:SELECT Employees.*, Employers.*FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Employers ON (Employees.Id=Employers.Id)The result-set will contain two "Id" columns, so SQL Server willdisambiguate them; one column will still be called "Id", while theother will be called "Id1." My question is, how are you supposed toknow which "Id" column belongs to which table? My intuition tells me,and limited testing seems to indicate, that it depends on the order inwhich the table names show up in the query, so that in the aboveexample, "Id" would refer to Employees.Id, while "Id1" would refer toEmployers.Id. Is this order guaranteed?Also, why does SQL Server use such a IMO brain-damaged technique tohandle column name conflicts? In MS Access, it's much morestraightforward; after executing the above query, you can use"Employees.Id" and "Employers.Id" (and more generally,"TableNameOrTableAlias.ColumnName") to refer to the specific "Id"column you want, instead of "Id" and "Id1" -- the"just-tack-on-a-number" strategy is slightly annoying when dealing withcomplex queries.--Mike S

View 10 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the PageBreakAtEnd on the table or on a group in the table, all it does is create a new column of the column report.
I'd want it to start a new page, how can I do this ? Should I work around this issue using code ?
Background: What I need to achieve is a report with 2 columns where the list of products in category 1 are listed in the left column and then snake to the 2nd column on the same page, then to column 1 on page 2, column 2 on page 2, etc...
When it comes to category 2, it should start a fresh new page regardless of whether the previous product was rendered in column 1 or column 2.
I get the snaking to work using the "Columns" property of the report Body. However page breaks do not start a new page, they just start a new column.
Hi there,
I am looking for a way to define a trigger that is a replacement for a multi-column foreign key.
I know how to a convert a single-column foreign key constraint into a trigger (i.e., to resolve diamond-structured references).
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
The conversion would remove the foreign key definition and add this trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
END;
Unfortunately, now I need to resolve a situation where there is involved a multi-column foreign key.
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_b INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a, col_b)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_y INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x, col_y) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a, col_b) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
This does not work, because the temporary table "deleted" might contain more than one row. How do I make sure that the values belong to the same row?
-- incorrect trigger, might delete too many rows
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
END;
-- some magic needed :-)
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
END;
I know the trigger definition above is ***... but I hope that it helps to make clear what I need.
Btw., I use SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance,

Hi out there
It seams that I have run into a know and apparently unsolved problem.
How do I force a page break, not column break, on a multi-column report?
I have 4 columns, my data is grouped and is setup to page break after each group.
But all I get is a column break, due to RS thinking of column's as pages.
Several people have posted about the same problem, but I can't find a solution. See...
