I was curious to know if it the amount of data sent to the sql server mattered.
I am working on a web application and I have three stored procedures that most likely will be called one after the other. Each procedure accepts at least 4 parameters. Instead if I create one stored procedure, then I will be passing at least 12 parameters. Some of the parameters could be quite bulky(at least 1000 characters).
So which one is better, 1 stored procedure with 12 parameters or 3 stored procedures with 4 parameters each called one after the other.
In a Lookup component I've defined a SQL query which returns a sorted resultset. For each Lookup component input row I want to have a single output row. Problem is that for each input row there is possibility of multiple matches in SQL query resultset. From all of the possible multiple hits I want only the first one to be returned, and if no match is found then no output row. How to implement this?
Am having difficulty with report/query parameters, where the report now regularly tells me that I must declare the scalar variable @Site.
I want to use 3 data sources :
1. to select a site from a list of sites - works fine and I can select at runtime
2. Once this is selected - I need to present a pair of dates to the user - min and max for data for the site - needs selection 1 to have been performed. Now I HAVE seen this work - once, the date selectors were greyed out until the site had been chosen, then they became available. Now I get the scalar variable error.
3. Finally I will pull the data with 3 parameters (site, startdate, enddate)
This was almost working, and the detail was produced for item 3, until I introduced the date selection option. Now neither item 2 or 3 will accept the users selected site - its from a drop-down.
All 3 queries are being performed by SQL SP's :
1. exec getsitelist - used to populate the dropdown to select @Site
2. exec getdates @Site - used to preset the start/end dates (NB I would really like calendar control here to select the date, with the value pulled from 1 to set the start point - but hey lets walk first ;-).
3. exec GetData @Site, @Start, @End
SOooo - can SSRS2005 even support dependent parameters of this type ??.
If so - whats the best way to create the parameters etc. ??. NB I can see all 3 parameter defs in 'Report Parameters'.
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might be able to provide some direction on.
1. Why can't you call a proc when the proc uses temp tables? I wrote a simple proc (select * from table) and the data subscription works perfect. I then take that same query and put it into a temp table and the data set can't be validated by the subscription, Why?
2. Why can't you pass a simple execute statement in a data subscription? (execute dbo.RptTakeTheLeadFLSDinnerCompetition @FiscalQuarter ='2007-Q3', @StoreRegionID = '9231', @StoreType = 'Full-Line Store') works perfect in SQL but once you try and validate in the data subscription is fails.
3. Another question, why if I dumb down the proc and the number of parameters does it work? Are there limitations on the number of parameters you can pass into a proc from a data driven subscription?
Basically, I want to declare a few variables dynamically and pass them into a execute statement that calls the proc. Which in turn runs the report.

Where does it dissapear when it comes to Fill?Could anybody help me with this, if possible fix my code or show the clean code where the procedure called with multiple parameters and dataset filled.Thank you so much for your help.
I 'am working with SQL Server7.0, and I need to transfer bulk of data(in millions) from aremote database in Rdb to SQL Server. What is the best approach other than using a comma delimited flat file? Is there a way to create a database link and then use a copy script in SQL to copy the data directly? I would appreciate any help. Thank You.
I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?
I am using Bulk Copy command for Exporting data table wise from database to csv files and it was working fine. Since last 3-4 days when exporting for some tables data in csv file is coming junk.
In many DTS packages I have used parameterised queries for incremental loads from Oracle database sources using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle.
Now I want to migrate these packages to SSIS, but the OLE DB connection for Oracle does not support parameters.
I cannot use the "SQL command from variable" data access mode because of the 4000 character limitation on the length of string variables and expressions.
Hi, I am trying to build search engin with 11 parameters in 4 different tables in the database. For example: In search.aspx I have 11 textboxes namely nameTextbox, phoneTextbox, nationalityTextbox, ageTextbox etc. And in the result.aspx page I have gridview which post data from the database if the search match. I wrote this stored procedure. P.S please ignore the syntax. @name var(30),
@nationality (30),
@phone int,
etc
as
Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c
WHERE
name LIKE '%' @name '%'
OR nationality LIKE '%' @nationality '%'
OR phone LIKE '%' @phone '%'
etc
But I got an error when I am trying to execute this code because the nulls values so I wrote 1 @name var(30), 2 3 @nationality (30), 4 5 @phone int, 6 7 etc 8 9 as 10 11 12 13 Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c 14 15 WHERE 16 17 name LIKE '%' ISNULL(@name, '') '%' 18 19 OR nationality LIKE '%' ISNULL(@nationality,'') '%' 20 21 OR phone LIKE '%' ISNULL(@phone,'') '%' 22 23 etc 24 25
Also the error still exist. What is the best way to search for multiple parameters in multiple tables ?
I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?

I'm just wondering if there is any easy way to deploy reports to multiple servers. My current issue is that I need to deploy tens of reports onto tens of production server. Does anyone know how to do that?
Our programs have and would like to continue keep the same data in multiple database. Example phone numbers. Us DBAs are tring to convince them not to.
Other than keeping the data current, what avantages are there to keep data in one location for multiple application to access.
This routine works in most cases, but fails when a bad date is enteredsuch as:19910631 -- there is no June 31st.Instead of ignoring the bad date the entire DTS job fails. Obviouslythis is something that should be validated at data entry, butunfortunately the only control I have is when appending to the tablewith these data quirks. Any suggestions appreciated!!!'************************************************* *********************' Visual Basic Transformation Script' Copy each source column to the' destination column'************************************************* ***********************Function Main()'DTSDestination("Col002") = DTSSource("Col002")if DTSSource("Col002") = "99999999" or DTSSource("Col002") =Null thenMain = DTSTransforStat_SkipRowelseDTSDestination("Col002") = mid(DTSSource("Col002"),1,4) & "/"&mid(DTSSource("Col002"),5,2) & "/" & mid(DTSSource("Col002"),7,2)End ifMain = DTSTransformStat_OKEnd FunctionRBollinger
Hi. This is my first attempt at a using stored procedures and I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to follow as many best practices as I can to improve speed, security and scalability. However, I can't find a solution to what I think should be a simple problem. I have a search page where users enter the criteria of properties they are interested in (bedrooms, price etc...). That takes them to a results page where the properties are displayed. The problem is that I want the amount of times each property has been shown on the results page to be tracked so the property owner gets statistics. The property details are all held in a single table along with the amount of times each property has be shown: Table Name: zk_Property_USA
ID INT
User_ID INT
Property_Type TINYINT
Market_Status TINYINT
Price INT
Bedrooms TINYINT
Address_State VARCHAR
Address_Location VARCHAR
Property_Description VARCHAR
Searched INT 0
Contacted INT 0 I'm trying to find a way to SELECT all the property details to be returned to my results page and UPDATE the "Searched" field by 1 without re-scanning the table for the UPDATE. Is there a way to update "Searched" at the time when the record is chosen to be a result? I am using SQL Server 2005 and Visual Basic ASP.NET 2.0. Many Thanks
First of all i do not know whether this is the right form to ask the question Let me describe the scenario iam using Iam generating xml files at a particular place and sending them to a server xml1|--------------------->dataset1------------------------------>adapter1.update(dataset1)xml2|----------------------->dataset2----------------------------->adapter2.update(dataset2)xml3|----------------------->dataset3------------------------------>adapter3.update(dataset3) all the three updates should happen in only one transaction if any one of the update fails then the transaction should rollbackcan anyone tell me a way to do iti am desperately in search of any ways to do it can anybody help please
Hi All, i have mutiple text file. let us say,a1.txtb1.txtc1.txt i have to port this text file data into the table (SqlServer Database) which have the same file structure.(i.e)x1 (SqlServer table)y2 (SqlServer table)z3 (SqlServer table) now i have to transfer a1.txt file data ----to--- x1b1.txt file data ----to--- y2c1.txt file data ----to--- z3 using SSIS. like that, i have to transfer more than 250 files at a time.manually binding 250 files into the package is very cumbersome and time consuming process. so, can any one give ur valuable sugession to solve this issue.
Using MSSQL (pre 2005): I have a Link table: int id (primary key/identity) varchar(50) linkName varchar(255) linkHref //some other stuff and my Hits table: int id (primary key/identity) int linkId (foreign key to Link) datetime dateCreated //some other stuff Hits gets an insert whenever a link is clicked. (All this works just fine) I'm trying to create a report that shows each link by its name and href, a counter and the last date each link was visited. What I currently have is an accurate listing for those that have been clicked on, but it does not show anything for links that haven't been clicked on. Any suggestions as to how I can modify the following SQL to return "0" and "never" (or DBNULL) if no entries are found in Hits that have the same id? Or do I have to do this in a couple queries? SELECT COUNT(h.id) as counter, MAX(h.dateCreated) as lastVisited, l.id as id, l.linkName as linkName, l.linkHref as linkHref FROM Link as l INNER JOIN Hits as h ON l.id=h.moduleId GROUP BY l.linkName, l.id, l.linkHref
Hello, i am making a Fulltextsearch on MS SQL Server 2005 (indexed, with "Contains"). Because of performance reasons i am only showing the first 200 rows mssql finds ("select top 200...:"). Is there any possibility to get the estimated totalnumber of all rows? i have heard something that is possible to get this in mssql-server. The server then estimates how many rows with that searchword could be in the whole database. google i.e. makes the same thing.... is that true? what do i have to do to get this? greetings and thx cpt.oneeye
I'd like to capture the avg. # of user logins and # db hits per a 5 interval for a weeks time. I'm guessing there are sys tables containing this info. and by using temporary tables and/or creating/modifying SPROCS this info. can be retrieved. If I'm on the right track, a little direction would be very appreciated. If I'm not on track, please assist this rookie dba.
I am serving ad-units. In each ad-unit I show somewhere between 3 and 10 article headline. I track the headline impressions to get an idea of the headline click through rate. I save the output from the stats process in another table. I am currently evaluating the stats every hour, and then truncating the table every night at midnight. The problem is that I get lots of impressions and the database gets bogged down evaluating the data such as... SELECT COUNT FROM articleimpressions WHERE articleid = x
But the issue isn't the reporting of the data...so much as it's the capture. I had to add caching on the ad-server because the database couldn't handle the number of inserts.
I thought about parsing the web server log files the next day, but the file sizes seem to be too large, and I can't process them all in one day. (At least not on the hardware that I am using.)
I've thought about splitting log files by hour, but was wondering if there may be a more "native" solution within SQL Server? Maybe a trigger, and/or multi-threaded SP that fires and forgets an insert statement to a linked server. But performance is the key here.
In MSSQL, is there a way to count the number of instances of asubstring within a string, so that I can sort by that?For example:table tst contains one column: tst_dataif tst_data = "the man with the plan"I'd want a function that counts the occurances of "the"count_substring(tst_data,'the') = 2Basically, I'm making a search engine and I'd like to put the mostrelavent hits at the top of the page.
hi . would greatly appreciate a clever way to make an internal "counter" on an sql table that contains 6000 articles.(one in each row). these are being accessed from a web page and i would like to know which are the most read ones. so i thought of adding a column that would in some way count each time that the row is being accessed. is there a way for this to be done?? please be detailed since i am quite new to all this. thanks beforehands.
I am new to SQL database design.I am having a table name customerletter_master in which all details of customer letters are saved.At a time i.e in single second around 200- 400 entry are made in customerletter_master table. Hits to customerletter_master table are more.
Following fields are used in customerletter_master – CID (autogen number), letterno(primary key),consignee, consignor, letterstatus1, letterstatus2, letterstatus3, POD, and some more fields. When letter passes to different stages letterstatus1 is filled to yes and then letterstatus2 and letterstatus3 are filled according to passage of letter.
And at same time many user can accesses the customerletter_master table to search any letter according to letterno. Therefore customerletter_master is used to enter data and to search data at same time and there can be more than 200-400 users doing add and search records to and from customerletter_master
how should i design this table. What should i use to enter and search record and minimize the table hits made by the user at same time. Should i use store procedures or any other method to add and search record. Plz help me out by giving some example.
