Hi!
I'm using DTS to import a flat ASCII file. I checked the primary key(telephone number) in the flat file to make sure it's unique. But for some reason when I import is using the DTS package, I'm missing 4 records. I checked one of the missing records and I don't see any problems with it. Is there a way I can debug the DTS package so it spits out a message/reason why it's not importing the record?
Thanks.
Hi!
How can I set up a DTS that reads a flat file database and inserts only the new records to an existing table? This DTS will be ran everyday against a flat file that accumulates records.
Good Morning, I need some assistance with SQL Server 2000 Importing Data.
When I import data from a text on a routine basis, three things must happen:
1. New records identified by primary key get appended to table.
2. Exisiting records identified by primary key get overwritten with new/(updated) data.
3. All other existing records are left alone.
Does anyone know how to Import Records with the following the criteria above? It cannot insert duplicate primary keys by nature, so it must overwrite those records!
This is being built into a DTS Package, but I need to get over this obsticle! Thanks for any guidance!
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
ID effdate termdate

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..
declare @table table (
ParentID INT,
ChildID INT,
Value float
)
INSERT INTO @table
SELECT 1,1,1.2
[code]....
This case ParentID - Child 1 ,1 & 2,2 and 3,3 records are called as parent where as null , 1 is child whoose parent is 1 similarly null,2 records are child whoose parent is 2 , .....
Now my requirement is to display parent records with value ascending and display next child records to the corresponding parent and parent records are sorted ascending
--Final output should be
PatentID ChildID VALUE
33 1.12
null3 56.7
null3 43.6
11 1.2
null1 4.8
null1 4.6

HI,
I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!
Scenario:
--------------
I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.
The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.
I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.
Thanks ,

I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).
I need a little help here..I want to transfer ONLY new records AND update any modified recordsfrom Oracle into SQL Server using DTS. How should I go about it?a) how do I use global variable to get max date.Where and what DTS task should I use to complete the job? Data DrivenQuery? Transform data task? How ? can u give me samples. Perhaps youcan email me the Demo Package as well.b) so far, what I did was,- I have datemodified field in my Oracle table so that I can comparewith datelastrun of my DTS package to get new records- records in Oracle having datemodified >Max(datelastrun), and transferto SQL Server table.Now, I am stuck as to where should I proceed - how can I transfer theserecords?Hope u can give me some lights. Thank you in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query similar to the following. The intent of this query is to retrieve the top 6 records meeting the specified criteria (LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status Start' OR LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status End' ) based on most recent dates. Please keep in mind that I expect to return up to 6 records for each unique LogProcessName. This could be thousands of different LogProcessNames with up to 6 records for each.
1) The table I am executing against currently is very large in size and thus takes a long time to execute against. It would seem there must be a more efficient query to get the results I am looking for?
2) CTE doesn't work on SQL 2000. I need a query that does.
3) I cannot modify the database itself in the process.
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT [LogProcessName], [LogBody], [LogDate], [LogGUID], row_number()
OVER(PARTITION BY [LogProcessName]
ORDER BY [LogDate] DESC)
AS RN
FROM [LOGTABLE]
WHERE [LogTypeGUID] IN (
SELECT LogTypeGUID
FROM LOGTYPE
WHERE LogTypeName = 'Process Status Start'
OR LogTypeName = 'Process Status End' ) )
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE RN = 1 OR RN = 2 OR RN = 3 OR RN = 4 OR RN = 5 OR RN = 6
ORDER BY [LogProcessName] DESC, [LogDate] DESC
Does anybody else have any idea that would yield the results that I am looking for and take into account items 1-3 above?
Thanks in advance.

What im looking at doing is looping thru my patient table and trying to organise the patients in to there admission sequence, so when patient "A" comes in and is treated at my hospital and is discharged and admitted to another Hospital within one day then patient "A" will get a code of 1 being there first admission.

Hi,
I have to search the records after the records populated.
I mean to say, i have displayed records in report, if i enter some strings in the textbox and clicked find, then it will highlight the particular records, instead of highlighting the values, is it possible to display only those particular records.
For example, say i have 50 records in a page,i entered some strings in the textbox and clicked find, then it will highlight the particular 5 records one by one which match the criteria i have entered in the texbox, instead of that i have to display only those 5 records.
Please tell me how to implement in this report,
Thanks and Regards

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.

Hello everyone and thanks in advance.
Ok, here's the deal. I am 1 of 2 developers at my organization, the other is a COBOL programmer. Long story short, every night he sends me a 22MB XML file containing our company's inventory. This contains about 40,000 items. In C#, I'm basically looping through all the XML nodes and on each node I load up an object with the particular properties (manufacturer, SKU, serial number, etc.) and call a Stored Procedure to to save the item.
In saving the item, I'm checking to see if it was already in my inventory and I either perform an update or an insert on the table as approriate. The query does a couple of other things like retreiving the Purchase Order Number, Cubic Feet, etc. from other tables. All in all, the query takes about 1-2 seconds to complete. I've optimized the query as much as I know how (including the addition of indexes), but this still takes at least 6 hours to complete the 40,000 items. Is this the best approach? Any other suggestions?
So far the only things I've thought about changing is:
1. Break it out into multiple queries to avoid poor compilation of execution plans
2. Multithread the C# app so that I'm running like 10 queries at once.
3. Get the COBOL programmer to give me a delimited file and do a BULK INSERT on it into an empty HEAP, then run a single INSERT and a single UPDATE (using CASE statements)
Again, Thanks in advance!

My question is, how do I solve thos problem!
Do I have to use DTS?

Hi, i've struggled in the past to get ms sql 7 db's from one server to another server and always end up getting frustrated. I usually just export and then import..... more work but it does the trick.
Now i've been sent one single db data file that i'm told is a backup copy of someones database. How do i get this loaded onto my server. I've tried restoring from this file but it complains that the backup file is not for the database i'm restoring to.... which is correct.... this has to be something that many people deal with? isn't it?
Can someone please help me out.... some pointers would be much appreciated.
