I'm working with parent-child hierarchies. My source is AS2005. What I have now is:
+ parent 1
child 1.1
child 1.2
child 1.3
+ parent 2
child 2.1
child 2.2
What I would like is:
child 1.1
child 1.2
child 1.3
+ parent 1
child 2.1
child 2.2
+ parent 2
This would allow me to simulate subtotals for the hierarchy in a more financially intuitive way. I call it a simulutation because the optimal solution would be to use a normal group for the parent-child hierarchy and then apply group-headers and -footers. However, this does not seem possible and the documentation I've found also describes parent-child hierarchies wrt. the details-group only.
I have thought sorting the data - perhaps on levels, but I haven't got anything to work yet. One of the things that annoys me the most when developing in RS2005 is that it's very hard to debug the layout. For instance, when I apply sorting - first ascending then descending - and the result is the same I get no messages telling me what's wrong (which there obviously must be...).
Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row. So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:
1 2015-01-01 2015-12-31 AA 2015-01-01 2015-03-31 BB 2016-01-01 2016-03-31 CC 2017-01-01 2017-03-31 DD 2017-01-01 2017-03-31
declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date) declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date) insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015' insert @child select 1, 1, 'AA', '1/1/2015', '3/31/2015'

hi, i have two tables i want the identity value of the parent table to be inserted into the chile table here is my code,but i don't know why it isn't working ! protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString; string pcontent = TextBox1.Text; string data = TextBox2.Text; addtopic(pcontent,connectionString); addfile(data, connectionString); } public void addtopic(string subject,string connstring) { using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connstring)) { SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO parent" + "(content)" + "Values(@content)", connection); command.Parameters.Add("@content", SqlDbType.Text).Value = subject; connection.Open(); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } public void addchild(string name, string connstring) { using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connstring)) {Guid id = Guid.NewGuid(); SqlCommand commandd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO child" + "(parentid,data,uniqueid)" + "Values(@@IDENTITY,@data,@uid)", connection); commandd.Parameters.Add("@data", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = name; commandd.Parameters.Add("@uid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = id;
I have a parent/child relationship in a relational database broken out like this: Table Name: categories[category_id] int (primary_key NOT NULL),[category_name] varchar(50),[parent_fk] int The parent references the category_id in the same table to create the parent/child relationships. I can get all the bottom level categories by doing this: select category_id, category, parent_fk from categories where category_id not in ( select parent_fk from categories) Each bottom-level category has a count attached to it. The problem I have is getting the counts rolled up for each parent of the bottom level. A parent could/will have multiple bottom-level categories (and counts). My sql is a little weak, could you help me out? I can utilize everying in SQL 2000 (stored proc, UDF, anything). Thanks!
I want to find all the child of a node in a tree . A child can have multiple parent i.e 2 can be place under multiple parent . The folling is the data:
This structure requires complicated queries (recursive call) to find out all the child of a root node, so I have added another field for the root id. Is this a good relational database design ? kindly suggest.
In our database we have a list of devices in a "Device" Table, eachhaving one or more IP's located in the "IP" Table linked through aforein key on the DeviceID Column.I would like to retrieve this information as SuchDeviceID IpAddress1 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.32 ...345etc.Is it possible to do that without using cursors? Through a query?
Hello all, I'm having a real hard time trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to create a sql query that selects both the parent name and it's children, but it's got to loop through all the record sets to populate a drop down as an end result.
I think I thought this out correctly: I have 2 tables
category relationship
tbl category cat_id //auto int cat_name // varchar
relationship r_id // auto int parent_id // int child_id // int
both the parent_id and child_id are associated with the cat_id in my category table I could have 1cars // this is parent 2 audi 3 bmw 4 chevy
Table data example
r_id parent_id child_id **************************** 1 1 15 2 1 16 3 1 17 4 2 55 5 2 56 etc... I want to select both the parent cat_name from category and also select the child cat_name where the parent_id = #
I can do it manaully like this select cat_name, cat_id, parent_id , child_id from category, relationships where child_id = cat_id and parent_id = 1
what is the best way to loop through all the parent ids to find child category? Could this be done in a stored procedure?
I am having problems creating a trigger in SQL Server? I have 2 tables (parent and child) with one to many relationship. When I save a record, one row gets inserted in the parent and one to many gets inserted in the child. The trigger is on the parent table and it is trying to select the number of new records just inserted in the child table that meets a certain criteria. Since the transaction hasn't been committed I can not select the number of records from the child. Does anyone know how to handle this? My manager insists this be done in a trigger. Thanks, James

Then I would like to be able to query against this view with something like this:
SELECT * FROM FamilyView Where Child2 = 'Peter'
I have no idea how to write the SQL for this View. Is it possible? Is this possible without using a cursor?
Below is my sample data of my table named "Groups"
Code: with Groups as ( select 1 as GroupId,'Oracle' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 2 as GroupId,'Microsoft' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 3 as GroupId,'IBM' as GroupName,0 as IdParentGroup union all select 4 as GroupId,'SunMicrosystem' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 5 as GroupId,'peoplesoft' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 6 as GroupId,'mysql' as GroupName,1 as IdParentGroup union all select 7 as GroupId,'Nokia' as GroupName,2 as IdParentGroup union all select 8 as GroupId,'EShop' as GroupName,2 as IdParentGroup union all select 9 as GroupId,'Meiosys' as GroupName,3 as IdParentGroup union all select 10 as GroupId,'UrbanCode' as GroupName,3 as IdParentGroup ) select * from groups;
Expected result:

some sample query to how to achieve this parent-child has the same table.
I'm an entre level junior programmer. My question is kind of confusing but I'll try to put it as simple as I can.
First we have a main table called "job1". This table consists the order information. The file_id is the unique id and the primary key for this table. This table also pertains other information such as customer data (max limit 5), job data etc. This table is actively (non-stop) used throughout the day.
We have a non-interactive process which will take customers information from the main table and insert into the child table table "jobcust". Jobcust would have file_id, cust, cust_type. For example, if Job1 table had fiel_id=100 and cust1="Tom" and Cust2="David", now Jobcust will have two records file_id, cust1 and file_id,cust2. The main problem is the child table needs to be updated right away and our non-interactive process is good at doing that.. but it is causing a major DATA LATENCY. I would like to ask you all, if you know any better way of doing this without any process.. like in the back end with a trigger/procedure or something like that.
I am importing data from a paradox table and trying to clean it up. I have this query that finds all the child records that are not in the parent table.
Select MemberID FROM memtype AS a WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM members AS b WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
Now I'm trying to delete all those child records instead of just selecting them so I tried...
Delete MemberID FROM memtype AS a WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM members AS b WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
I have a parts table which has partid (GUID) column and parentpartId (GUID) column. Need to copy the records to the same table with new GUIDs for partids. How to do that? cursor or temp tables?
I have an application that has an existing query which returns org units (parent and child) from organization table with orderby on createddate + orgid combination.
Also I added another log table Organization_log with exact columns as Organization table and additional 'IS_DELETED' bool column.
WITH Org_TREE AS ( SELECT *, null as 'IS_DELETED', convert (varchar(4000), convert(varchar(30),CREATED_DT,126) + Org_Id) theorderby FROM Organization WHERE PARENT_Org_ID IS NULL and case_ID='43333'
[code]...
I need to modify the query:
1. To display the records both from the Organization table and Organization_Log table. 2. The orderby should be sorted on 'Organization Name' asc and it should follow the child order in alpha sort as well.
I am wondering if there is a way to insert one parent record with multi child records in one transaction? I am using dataset to update my database. I want to use transaction so if one record insert fails all the transctions rollback.
I think I might know the answer to this, but I wanted to see if any one has come up with a slick idea for enforcing this relationship. If I have two tables and one is dependent on the other (parent-child relationship), how can I enforce that every parent record has a corresponding child record? Here is a code example
USE tempdb
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Parent ( ParentId int NOT NULL )
ALTER TABLE dbo.Parent ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Parent PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ParentId)
CREATE TABLE dbo.Child ( ParentId int NOT NULL ,ChildId int NOT NULL )
INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (1) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (1,1) INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (2) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (2,2) INSERT INTO dbo.Child VALUES (2,1) INSERT INTO dbo.Parent VALUES (3)
SELECT p.ParentId, 'I SHOULD HAVE A DEPENDENT RECORD' FROM dbo.Parent p LEFT JOIN dbo.Child c ON p.ParentId = c.ParentId WHERE c.ParentId IS NULL
ParentId 3 should have a child record associated with it. I am assuming that these are my choices:
1) code all inserts to the parent table along with a insert to the child table and wrap those in a transaction
2) place a trigger for insert on the parent table that ensures that the child table is populated after data for the parent.
Here is the gotcha, we will be using a middle-tier data access layer (nhibernate or dlink) so .NET application developers will be creating the data modifications at the transactional level. Also there might be several ongoing ETLs that populate this schema as well, so multiple points of entry and seperate code blocks. I don't want to hide business logic within triggers.
I assume that all our coders are competent and could enforce this properly via code, but I know that mistakes happen. Has any one come across this situation and have a solution for enforcing the integrity of the schema with constraints?
how can we delete parent table as well as child table using a single query applied on parent table, can someone please help me onn this topic? it will be very nice of you guys.
so if i give input say categoryid=1[This falls under main category-boxing] i need to get result as 1 boxing [main category] 4 mayweather [sub category] 5 tyson [sub category] 6 clinton woods [sub category]
if i give categoryid=5[Note:Tyson] result should be as 1 boxing [main category] 5 tyson [sub category]
dear friend,, i have two table.in my first table id is primarykey and in my second table id if foreign key. so my need i have to use one query to delete the primary key table values. so if i am deleting one id in primary key table the child in the second table has to be deleted automatically.if parent get deleted the child should get deleted automatically. so plese help me to do this please give me sample query please
Greetings,I just wanna know if anyone can tell me how to get all user definedtables in parent-then-child manner. I mean all the parents should belisted first and then childs.I dont think there is any direct way to do this, but i am not able toform any sort of query to achieve this.Any help will be greatly appreciated.TIA
Hello Experts,Here is the code to flatten a PC hierarchy into a level based table. Itworks fine.SELECTt1.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV1,t2.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV2,t3.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV3,t4.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV4,t5.TASK_ID AS TASK_LV5FROM dbo.Project t1 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t2 ON t2.PARENT_TASK_ID = t1.TASK_IDAND t2.WBS_LEVEL = 2 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t3 ON t3.PARENT_TASK_ID = t2.TASK_IDAND t3.WBS_LEVEL = 3 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t4 ON t4.PARENT_TASK_ID = t3.TASK_IDAND t4.WBS_LEVEL = 4 LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.Project t5 ON t5.PARENT_TASK_ID = t4.TASK_IDAND t5.WBS_LEVEL = 5How do modify the code to work for any level rather than hard codingthe level up to "5"?Please help.Thanks.Soumya
I have a fairly simple SSIS project that has nested parent-child packages. I am trying to find the best way to manage the connections strings so as to make the package portable across machines and environments. Currently there is one "master" package which calls 6 child packages. 1 of these child package calls 3 child packages of its own.
For the database connections, I've settled on creating a standardized .dtsConfig file for each server/login. This is a relatively small number (intially 8) that I don't expect to grow much.
I've taken a different approach for the file-system connections used by Execute Package components that call the child packages. For each package that has child packages, I store all the connection strings (paths) to the child packages in a single .dtsConfig file. This works well for the top-level "master" package where I can pass in the .dtsConfig file (that has the paths to the child packages) as a run-time option in the Execute Package Utility.
However, this approach seems to fall apart for the 2nd generation package that in turn call 3rd generation packages because I don't know how to get the .dtsConfig file (with the 3rd generation .dtsx package paths) path to this downstream dtsx package.
Though I'm sure there are others, the only two solutionsI can think of now are (a)don't nest packages beyond 1 parent/child relationship -- not really an option or (b)Store the path of .dtsConfig files for each .dtsx package as an environment variable on each machine. This option is unappealing because it would require adding an environment variable for every .dtsx package that has child packages. I don't think it would take long for this to grow into a large number, that would make managing environment variables cumbersome.
So far my experience with SSIS has been that there was a simple solution for each scenario I had. So this hoop jumping I'm going through seems to indicate I am just missing something.
I'm having problem to pass variable from a package to a another one. I having 2 packages: the parent (parent.dtsx) use a Execute Package Task to execute the child package (child.dtsx). In the parent package, I have a variable named var1 (data type String) with value=test In my child package, I having a script task using the variable var1 to make a MsgBox (var1 is in readonly in the script): MsgBox(CStr(Dts.Variables("var1").Value))
In this case, I having an error (cause the variable may no exist) but i can see the value of the variable in the MessageBox and the execute package task fail because of this error.
After I tried this solution: (Found in this Forum) In the child package, I create the variable var1 (same type, no value). Then in the control flow, I right click on the background and select "package configurations". I enable package configurations. Then I add a new one. I change the configuration type to "parent package variable." Then, in the specify configuration settings entry, I enter the name of the variable in the parent package. On the following screen, I select the "value" property of the variable created in this package (Child package). At last, I give the configuration a name and hit finish.
If I execute my parent package, the result is no value in the MessageBox.
I also tried the same thing (with the package configuration) to pass a a variable with the connection string from a package to the connection of an another one (I set the connection string of the connection) and it doesn't work.
sorry if the message seems a bit garbled i cannot see the textbox properly with ie7/ff
anyways. the situation.
childpackage contains a loop-container. in there i use an ole-db-source with a variable based on an expression. ie. "select * from foo where bar=" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? "initial" : @[bar] + " and etc=1" where bar is the variable that is set by the loop.
this works great.
however i need to call this package several times, only the expression is a tad different.
so i need a scripttask that sets the expression correctly, then i call the childpackage and map the current-expression to the expression in childpackage.
how do i do that? or am i doing it wrong?
my script-task looks something like:
dts.Variable("theVar").Expression = " ""select * from foo where bar="" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? ""initial"" : @[bar] + "" and etc=1"" "
in the childpackage i have a package-conf that maps thevar to thequery with target-object expression.
May be I am doing something wrong over here, but I have been trying in vain to test out a simple scenario where I can use my Parent Package configurations in my Child package. I have two packages ready and can someone please walk me through this process. Appreciate all help
How can I pass configurations from Parent Packages to a child package? I am using Execute package task to execute a child package but am unable to configure a variable to pass configurations to a child package.
I have an ASP.NET application that calls a SSIS package. The SSIS package internally calls some other child packages. I observed that sometimes some child pacakges are not even called by the parent. and the behaviour is very indeterminate. sometimes they work fine. sometimes they don't. There is no clue available for this behaviour when the pacakges are not executed. (One general observation is that the memory consumption is very high. but that is the case always.)
I have enabled logging on all child packages. The log is not updated at all when the child packages failed to execute. i.e. the package execution does not start.
Could somebody explain why this is happening? any suggestions/ similar experiences?
