Newbie SQL Question - NEED HELP!
Apr 4, 2007
Hey all, i'm having a bit of an issue with an SQL query i'm trying to make. I'm developing an online video store page, and at the homepage I want to display the top 10 movies rented
I have the tables rental and movies, the movies table has moviename and all that stuff, while the rental table has the movieID as a FK, all I want it to do is simply count the movieIDs in the rental table and display that in order.. when I try
I'm trying the query..
SELECT movies.movieName, COUNT(rental.movieID) FROM movies INNER JOIN rental ON movies.movieID = rental.movieID
GROUP BY movies.movieName
That works, but it orders by the moviename obviously. When I try to get it to GROUP BY the Count it gives me errors.. How do I get this to work?
Thanks

The database is definitly in the folder that the error message relates to.
What I'm finding confusing is that the connection string seems to be finding "aranga"s database.
Is it something daft?
Many thanks.

Hopefully this is the right place to post this, I am trying to learn ADO.Net programming using VWD Express with SQL Express... I tried to do the walk-through tutorial on ADO.Net through the asp.net tutorial. The walk-through asked you to download and install a script (check) then it said to open a command window with sql server running (check) and then to copy all of this special script code into to bind the database to the web page (not check). Everything pretty much went down hill after that part. I couldn't get the Update/Cancel/Delete buttons. After that dissapointing attempt at learning I decided to just try and make my own database. All was going pretty well until I try to add the UPDATE/DELETE fields after adding the WHERE clause. No go.
So, I don't know if I'm just totally flubbing this up or if this is a common problem. Do I need the two or three pages of custom script like the Microsoft example to make a database work?
Please help!!!

Hi,
I've imported an access .mbd table into SQL 7.0, and need to know the best way to overwrite my SQL 7.0 table with the new Updated information that is contained in the access table. I've read a little bit about update tables, but is there an easy way to overwrite an entire table without having to specify each row and column?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am trying to setup a database to handle RMA stuff at work. I need to be able to access the DB from numerous systems at once. Now i know NOTHING about SQL or any other DB for the most part. Messed around with Access some, but nothing major.

I need to know how to write a sql statement for VB to Microsoft Access for the following criteria.
TblEmployees only Field to be concerned with is EmployeeID -Its PK
TblEmpAttendane has these fields:
EntryID - Pk
EmployeeID - Fk
Date- A text form date validated through vb to avoid hassle
Value-A single digit value that can be alpha OR numeric
To get the Date range for the current month I use variables to store the First and last day of the month(in a CUSTOM calendar control).
I have been trying to use this Sql statement(that wont work):
SqlString = "SELECT * FROM TblEmpAttendance WHERE Date BETWEEN '" & FirstDay & "' AND '" & LastDay & "'"
I need to:
1.)using the current EmployeeID (from TblEmployees)
2.) find the same EmployeeID in TblEmpAttendance
3.)Get the date range for the current month and year(valid days currnt mo.)
-these date are supplied by the variables "FirstDay" AND "LastDay" as seen in above SqlString
4.) Find the Values associated with the dates and EmployeeID

I have a table with 10 records: 10, 9, 8, 7 ... and so on. I want to SELECT the top 3 records starting with the second record on the list (which in this case is 9.) So the result should be 9, 8, and 7. What would be the correct SQL statement for this?
I tried "SELECT TOP 3 * FROM tableXXX WHERE (FieldID<>(SELECT TOP 1 * FROM tableXXX ORDER BY FieldID DESC) ORDER BY FieldID DESC" but sure as heck it didn't work. Can anyone help?

Hi,
just for understanding a simple iif statement:
I like to set a numeric value to 0, if it is smaller than 0.
This expression shall be valid over all dimensions for a specific measure
like Iif([Measures].[Provision Ankauf]<0,0,[Measures].[Provision Ankauf] )

Hi
I have two problems. I am currently using SQL Server express and SQL Server Management Studio Express locally. i have a DotNetNuke website running on the web with IHostASP.Net
Story:
I noticed that my SQL Server 2005 database with IHostASP.net was 350MB. It was only 22 2 months ago and I have had about 100 users sign up. I then connected to my live database via SQL Server Management Studio Express and shrunk the database. No errors and the database was reduced to 24MB - Great I thought!
I went and checked the website and all was great for about an hour then the site went down with the following error:
Error The transaction log for database 'classcampers' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
Anyone know what to do.
Anyway, I have downloaded a .bak of my database as supplied by my host. However I cant figure out to restore this file back to my live database. What are the steps involved?
Do I create a new local database from the .bak and then somhow restore this back to my live one, or do i apply this .bak file strainght to my live database using SQLMSE. Any tutorials becuase I have been trying to apply this restore all day
Thansk for any advice in advance
cheers

Hi guys,
Ive been learning SQL slowly and I need help for a projet I am doing.
I currently would like to compare identical files in a 2 seperate folder. Not only would I like to compare if the files are the same name, but when they are I would like to compare the file contents.
SO basically this is what I need to do:
-Compare file names in folder A with files in folder B
-If a match is found, compare file contents
-If file contents are same, do nothing. If file contents are different, move file to folder C.
Can anyone help me!! :O
Thanks guys!

I finally decided to do our ASP application using VB, .NET and MSSQL.
My questions are simple, but I cannot find all the answers, so anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Please explain how licenses (CALS) work with regard to Windows Server and MSSQL. For example, suppose we have 200 clients all logged into our application, but only say 40 are currently active (meaning they are adding data, running reports, etc....), but they are not all clicking the "DO" button at the same time. So how many Windows server and/or MSSQL seats, licenses, CALS, cpu's etc.... (whatever they are called) will I need?
How many users do you think a "well designed" ASP application built using AJAX, ActiveX, VB, .NET and MSSQL can a single cpu reasonably support? This application will serve east coast to west coast with heavy traffic from say 7am to 9am and 2pm to 4pm in each time zone. At what point (or what should I look for) to say, you need more memory, more processors, more servers, etc......????
How does one protect (or build in) a method to deal with index corruptions, etc???? Does that occur in MSSQL? If so, generally, what are causes and fixes?
The application will serve many chapters. Many chapters will be solo (by themselves), but we also expect district wide, where multiple chapters (25 to 75) in one district will use the application. We can expect, during time frames mentioned above, that each chapter will have 200 to 400 transactions per am time and same per pm time.
has anyone had great success with IronSpeed?
Lastly, can anyone suggest some good windows web hosting companies?
Thank you.

Hi i have 2 columns in the same table.....one column retrieves all registered students, the other column retrieved registered students but who have not completed a required survey.
The 2 sql statements are almost the same except that the 2nd one does another comparison at another table....(i.e. where student_id not in (select student_id from other_t).
I am trying to combine the 2 sql statements into a derived table where results will be displayed as follows:
registered students | students(incomplete surveys)
studA, studB, studC | studB
studC, studD, studE | studD, studE
is there any way to do it?

Hi I am new to SQL Server,
I have questions regarding theses files TRN, LDF, MDF and BAK.
I have a maintenance plan that backups the .TRN and .BAK everynight in a folder e:/mssqlsrv/MSSQL/Bakup.
When I look at the date modified in windows explorer they are exactly like I programmed it in the maintenance plan.
Now when I look in the folder e:/mssqlsrv/MSSQL/Data I see the .LDF and .MDF files and they are way out of date.
How do they get copied there? With the maintenance plan? What is the difference between the TRN and the LDF?
How does a restore work? I am so confused? Please explain to me?

I just went through Steve Lasker's slide show on Everywhere (which was very informative) and noticed that when he setup the connection to the Everywhere database it had a .sdf extension. However, when I look at my database using SQL Server Management Studio Express it shows me as having the standard .mdf and .ldf files and *no* sdf file. I thought for a moment that I might be using Express but when I look at the connection properties of my (or what I think is my Everywhere) database I see:
Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
Product Version: 8.0.818 SP3
Instance Name: MICROSOFTBCM
If I look at an Express database, I see connection properties of:
Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services
Product Version: 9.0.2047 SP1
Instance Name: SQLEXPRESS
So it appears that I am not use Express but yet, no .sdf files. Can someone tell me about the different file extensions and which ones I might be using? I would assume with the product name of "Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine" I am using Everywhere - but maybe not. Please advise.
Thanks!

Hello All.
I'm really new to SQL Server 2K5 and SSIS. I have a task that seems very simple, but being that I'm very rusty with visual studio and SQL, I'm having all sorts of problems.
Here's the scenario:
I have a text file that has 2 columns. AD LOCATION and UPC, I get the text file by combining two spreadsheets in Excel. I need to examine the rows of the flat file and output that data to multiple files. It's a parent child relationship and the output would simply be the children of the parent in it's own text file. It looks something like this:
TEXT FILE 1.TXT
ADLOCATION UPC
101 XXXXXXXXX1
101 XXXXXXXXX2
101 XXXXXXXXX3
102 XXXXXXXXX1
102 XXXXXXXXX2
103 XXXXXXXXX1
The output files should result in:
TEXT FILE 101.TXT
XXXXXXXXX1
XXXXXXXXX2
XXXXXXXXX3
TEXT FILE 102.TXT
XXXXXXXXX1
XXXXXXXXX2
TEXT FILE 103.TXT
XXXXXXXXX1
Again, I'm brand new to SSIS, have minimal DTS experience and really need to get this automated. Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a form that submits to multiple tables. After insertion into the first table I need to access the identity key from the record and use is to associate a record in another table. The form element I'm inserting into the second table however, is not a required field so I think I need to check IS NOT NULL first. In my code below I have copied the insert statement for the first table and the conditional and subsequent insert into the 2nd table. I am uncertain where and how I get and use @@identity. The error I'm getting when I run the Check Syntax button is: 'incorrect syntax near @@identity.'I appreciate someone telling me how to correct my syntax. INSERT INTO GPRA_Activities(SubmitDate,StaffId,GPRAId,FreedomID,DocumentDesc,ActivityTitle,ActivityDesc)VALUES (getDate(),@StaffId,@GPRAId,@FreedomID,@DocumentDesc,@ActivityTitle,@ActivityDescSELECT @@identity )if @KeywordId1 IS NOT NULL @@identity smallint, INSERT INTO GPRA_KeywordsUsed ( ActivityId, KeywordId ) VALUES ( @@identity, @KeywordId1 )GO

Hi guys,
Your help please.
First off, I have searched the Forum for answers using the keywords and tried those clues first but with no luck. This one for example: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q282254
I had a copy of MSDE installed on my machine about 12 month ago but never used it so I uninstalled it. Then I downloaded and installed SQL Server 120-day Evaluation edition a few days ago. When I tried to run SQL Server I get
An error 1069 – (The service did not start due to logon failure)…
I’m using Windows XP.
How can I find out what the password is or how can I reset it so the SQL Server logon works?
Any ideas?
Thanks Guys

Table1: WriterID, WriterName, WriterSurname
Table2: BookID, WriterID, BookName, Category
Table3: CategoryID, CategoryName
There will be one form. Which way i should use to enter data from one form to multiple tables with same WriterID.
1.) Should i use SqlCommand class and a Stored Procedure?
( Like that: http://www.aspnet101.com/aspnet101/tutorials.aspx?id=13 )
2.) Is there another way without a stored procedure? I can't imagine how to insert same form to multiple tables. In real scenario there are lots of table and all contains a column that holds same value such as WriterID.

Good morning,
I am quite new to using ASP and SQL together, I have tried all the tutorials I can find and most of it makes enough sense that I am able to bumble my way through what I am trying to do, but I am not able to find any reliable information on how to do the following:
I want to call a SQL stored proc, by pressing a "submit" button. It is for a simple login... the user types in their username and password, then I get the data from the fields with Request.Form.Get("blah")s. The stored proc returns a true or false to indicate success or failure.
The SQL server that I am trying to use is called 'Trim2005' and the database is called 'Internet Database'
Since I'm learning, if anyone has a better way which is not too much harder than what I am trying to do (or easier, if I'm lucky )then I would be very interested to hear of it.

I'm trying to connect to my SQL server that is on one machine from a different machine. (through Enterprise Manager) It seems the only time I can make the connection is when I am mapped to the machine hosting the SQL Server. I keep thinking there is a way to do it without mapping but can't seem to find one. Help?
