Hi folks,
I am trying to write a query to get data in pairs, for example, i have data like this:
sr_no week_no
1 24-A
2 24-B
3 24-C
4 25-A
5 25-B
6 26-A
7 26-B
I want to get data in pairs i.e. data for week_no 24-A and 24-B will come togather? is it possible?
Any urgent help will be highly appreicated.
Thanks
I have a table, gdbdoc, that contains record-key pairs, linking records in another table. There is no significance in the order of the link: if records A and B are linked, then I don't care whether the link is A -> B or B -> A, and my normal query logic is SELECT ... Where DCIindiid = A ... union SELECT ... Where DCILinkid = A(DCIindiid = key1, DCILinkid = Key2)
The link-creation process normally checks whether there is already a link in either direction. Thus before creating a link A->B the logic checks to see whether either the A->B or B->A link record exists, and a new link is not created if the link already exists in either direction. However recently one of my processes bypassed the reverse-link check, and I've ended up with a few hundred cases where there is both an A->B link and a B->A link.
If I run a query: - select gd1.* from gdbdoc as gd1 join gdbdoc as gd2 on gd1.dciindiid = gd2.dcilinkid and gd1.dcilinkid = gd2.dciindiid
this displays all the records where one record links A -> B and there is also another record that links B -> A.
How do I write a query to delete ONE of the pair of duplicate records? I have two problems: -
Problem 1: Table gdbdoc is keyed on (DCIindiid, DCILinkid). Both guids are needed to create a unique key, and the table does not have a single key field. You can't write DELETE gdbdoc where DCIIndiid, DCILinkid IN select gd1.dciindiid, gd1.linkid from gdbdoc as gd1 join gdbdoc as gd2 on gd1.dciindiid = gd2.dcilinkid and gd1.dcilinkid = gd2.dciindiid
as the DELETE ... SELECT ... syntax only seems to support a single returned value.
Problem 2. If we solved problem 1, we would (I think) delete BOTH the A->B link and the B->A link , whereas I only want to delete one of these links.
Afterthought: Problem 2 seems easily solvable: add "Where gd1.DCIindiid < gd1.DCILinkid" to the DELETE ... statement. Although the concept of "<" doesn't really mean anything with a guid, this is accepted by SQL, and halves the number of records returned by the select. Obviously I don't care which of the two links (A->B or B->A) is deleted.

Hi,I need to display a dataset where everything is dynamic.e.g. I have a table with columns "Code", "Description" and "Inspected" andanother table with columns "UserCode", "Name", "PostCode" and "Town" etcAnd I need to dislay data like this from a single db proc with parameters:-(TableName, ColumnName, ColumnValue)Procedure called with these parameters (CodeTable, Code, TD001) would returna dataset like this:-----------------------------------|Code | TD001|Description| Printer|Inspected | Y---------------------------------Not----------------------------------|TD001|Printer|Y---------------------------------Procedure called with these parameters (UserTable, UserCode, CP1) wouldreturn a dataset like:----------------------------------|UserCode | CP1|Name | Charles|PostCode | 2000|Town | Sydney---------------------------------Not---------------------------------|CP1| Charles| 2000| Sydney---------------------------------Any ideas how I would code the database proc, I did consider using XML butnot sure.ThanksAJP

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have to log the Details of the incoming xml message into databse.
But the values logged will vary with the message.So I cant fix the mumber of columns.
I thought of using table in which the fields are logged as Key-Value Pairs. The table looks as below.
TransactionID ColumnKey ColumnValue
1111 PONumber 123
1111 Sender xxx
1111 Recever yyy
using dynomic query i was able to get the results as follows
TransactionID PONumber Sender Receiver
1111 123 xxx yyy
Till now every thing was fine. but now i got new requirement where i have to identify each column with its parent. For example if we consider the line items of the PO, table may look like below.
TransactionID ChildKey ChildValue ParantKey ParantValue
1111 PONumber 123 null null
1111 Sender xxx null null
1111 Recever yyy null null
1111 ItemName soap ItemID 123
1111 Quantity 4 ItemID 123
1111 UnitPrice 2.2 ItemID 123
1111 ItemName Brush ItemID 222
1111 Quantity 5 ItemID 222
1111 unitPrice 4.4 ItemID 222
I am unable to design the database which satisfy the requirement of the reporting.
I not even know how to query the data which is logged like this.
Help me by giving the inputs to design databse for the above problem and to query the data .
advance thanks

my page suddenly stopped working when I wasn't working on it and it seems to be down to the 'ORDER BY' part of my SQL. I'm here alone as usual and I need someone to glance at the sql strings below. (yes, I do need the select *)
If I run this in SQL Manager it works fine:
SELECT * from dest_search WHERE trip_type like 'Trekking' ORDER BY start_date
if I do the same from my asp page it fails but if I leave out 'ORDER BY start_date' it works.
the error I get is:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e21'
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
/Newindex/trip_types.asp, line 53
line 53 is the 'desc = oRS...' bizarrely
oRS.Open strSQL, oConn, 2, 3
oRS.moveFirst
Do while not oRS.eof
country = oRS("country")
53---> desc = oRS("description")
url_link = oRS("url_link")
startDate = oRS("start_date")
endDate = oRS("end_date")
trip = oRS("trip_type")
difficulty = oRS("difficulty")
not all the descriptions are filled in (some are null) but that doesn't stop SQL manager from working or unordered results coming up fine in my web page.
any comments gratefully received thanks.
Hi Folks,
I would like to create a table with primary key pair:
Key1 : nchar(10)
Key2: nchar(10)
Value: money
That is, Key1 and Key2 are the primary key columns for the table. I would like to think of (Key1='Foo', Key2='Bar') to be the "same" as (Key1='Bar', Key2='Foo'). Is there a way to enforce this as a table constraint, or do I have to enforce this manually in all procedures that modify and read the table?
Thanks!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY

It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).
I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyOptions
where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyTimetable
where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. My T-SQL skills are not up to the task at hand here :(
I've got company records in one table and SIC codes that correlate to the companies linked by the company ID. So, I can run the query, but the output I get is multiple records for each company, because some companies have multiple SIC codes associated with them.
I understand how to get only one record, but what I want to do is create a result set that has all the SIC codes associated with one company. Possibly in a comma seperated list, that would count as one field.
Anyone have any idea how to bring back all the SIC codes for one company as one variable (or multiple variables, but in one record)?
Thank you very much for any help,

I cannot figure out how to write a sql statement to display the multiple records of multiple records. I know that doesn't make much sense so let me explain:
This problem involves two tables. They both reference (FK) data in a third table (tblDepartment).
Here are the fields and some test data in each of the two important tables:
=============
tblDepartment =============================
departmentIDuserID
-----------------------------
1user1
2user1
1user2
2user3
3user3
3user4
===========
tblRequest ========================================
requestIDdepartmentIDuserID
----------------------------------------
11user1
21user2
32user3
43user3
53user4
62user1
What I am trying to do is display all requests associated with the multiple departments of "user1". In the above example, I would want to see (after a select statement):
requestIDdepartmentIDuserID
----------------------------------------
11user1
21user2
32user3
52user1
We don't see the requests of user3 or user4 when the given request's departmentID is not a department associated with user1.
Hopefully someone out there understands this. I've never had to write a select statement like this before, so I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it. Thanks for any help!
Hi,
I have one table which holds an ID, a name, and a parentID (which can either the same as the main ID or it's one of the other ID in that tbl)
At the moment I do a select on the records whos main ID is the same as the ParentID. This gives me an initial list of records who are the "Main" parent records (i.e they are not the child of any other record..
so far so good.
However, what I need to do is for each record work out if they themselves have any Child records. (only some have).
so at the mo I end up with a results set as this:
1 Boats
2 Jumpers
3 Trousers
4 Ships
What I want to end up is something like
1 Boats True
2 Jumpers False
3 Trousers True
4 Ships True
Where the true or false is if the record has any child records..
Any ideas?
A basic select statement to be used.
I can't get my head around this:I want to select all IDs from table A that do not have a related record intable B according to some condition:Table A contains, say, Parents and table B contains Children. I want toselect all Parents that have no children called "Sally" (this is a noddyexample, reminds me of being at Uni again :) ).Any ideas?Thanks

I already submitted this type of question before and i receive reply. But unfortunately i found out errors when performing on my system.
My problem regarding to this one:
Suppose i have two databases with same tables with different records and I would like to copy the records from one database to another data and vice-versa. So that both the tables contains same number of records inside the tables.
Example:
Database1 (EmployeeTable) contains 6 records.
Database2 (EmployeeTable) contains 10 records.
It should copy only those records which is not present in each other database. No duplicate records.
Before i was recommend to use Primary key, if it is not present use index.
Hope this time i could solve my problem.
Thanks.
