Possibly Simple Query But I'm Not Good Enough To Fathom It!

Mar 8, 2006

Hi All

I know that I should supply the DDL for the tables I'm going to talk about,
but I'm not 100% on how to generate them just yet. Hopefully my question is
more a query methodology question than how the tables are constructed.

My first attempt at the query is as follows:

SELECT st.STOCKID, sd.FULLDESCRIPTION, sc.NAME, Sum(sq.QUANTITYINSTOCK) AS
'Qty In Stock Total', Sum(st.QUANTITY) AS 'Qty Sold'
FROM STOCK s, STOCKCATEGORIES sc, STOCKDESCRIPTIONS sd, STOCKQUANTITIES sq,
STOCKTRANSACTIONS st
WHERE sc.STOCKCATEGORYID = s.STOCKCATEGORYID AND st.STOCKID = s.STOCKID AND
sd.STOCKID = s.STOCKID
AND sq.STOCKID = s.STOCKID AND (sd.LANGUAGEID='UK') AND
(st.TRANSACTIONTYPE=8) AND
(sq.QUANTITYINSTOCK > 0)
GROUP BY st.STOCKID, sd.FULLDESCRIPTION, sc.NAME

This works in a fashion, but I need to sort of query the stocktransactions
table again to get the sum of the st.QUANTITY table for st.TRANSACTIONTYPE=1
so that I can have an extra select field of Sum(st.QUANTITY) AS 'Qty
Ordered', ie transactions with transactiontype of 1 are sales orders and
type 8 are invoices.

I basically need to get a report result of:

PRODUCT, DESCRIPTION, CATEGORY, CURRENT_STOCK_QTY, SALES_IN_PERIOD,
ORDERS_IN_PERIOD

Is there any pointers whatsoever you can give me to try and get this
double-double query to work?

Many thanks.

Possibly Extremely Simple SQL Query

Jan 27, 2004

Right, I'm no SQL programmer. As I type this, I have roughly the third the hair I had at 5 o'clock last night. I even lost sleep over it.

I'm trying to return a list of records from a database holding organisation names. As I've built a table to hold record versions, the key fields (with sample data) from a View I created to display this is as follows:

record_id-----org_id-----live-----version
====== ===== === =====
1-------------1----------0----------1
2-------------2----------0----------1
3-------------1----------1----------2
4-------------2----------0----------2

as you can see the record id will always be unique. record 3 is a newer version of record 1, and 4 of 2. the issue is thus: i only want to return unique organisations. if a version of the organisation record is live on the system (in this case record id 3), i want to return the live version with its unique record id. i'm assuming for this i can perform a simple "SELECT WHERE live = 1" query.

however, some organisations will have no live versions (see org with id 2). i still wish to return a record for this organisation, but in this case the most recent version ie version 2 (and again - its unique record id)

in actual fact, it seems so much clearer when laid out like this. however, i feel it's not going to happen this end, and so any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks in advance,

phil

Query Help - Select Distinct Possibly?

Oct 26, 2006

I need to return the current case cost for every UPC in my table. In my current query I return case costs that have an effective date of today or earlier. The problem is that in my results, one UPC may have two or more case costs that were are effective <= GETDATE(). I can sort it by effective date (DESC) so I know the first of every UPC in my results will be the current effective case cost, but how do I modify my query so that in my result set I only get the first of every UPC?

Here is my query:

SELECT factCaseCosts.nUpcKey, factCaseCosts.dCaseCost, factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate
FROM factCaseCosts
WHERE (factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate <= GETDATE())
ORDER BY dtEffectiveDate DESC

Here is my current result set:
52023.762006-08-01 00:00:00
52023.762006-02-18 00:00:00
52123.762006-08-01 00:00:00
52123.762006-02-18 00:00:00
52230.362006-08-01 00:00:00
52230.362006-02-18 00:00:00
52323.762006-08-01 00:00:00
52323.762006-02-18 00:00:00

I only want the first 520 returned, the first 521 returned, the first 522 returned, and the first 523 returned.
How can I do this?
Thanks!

Possibly Incorrect Query Result

Jul 13, 2006

/* Test table */
create table test (c1 char(1), c2 varchar(1));
insert into test values ('','');

/* Query */
select
c1,
len(c1) len_c1,
c2,
len(c2) len_c2
from test

The result of the len(c1) expression is 0. I would expect the correct result to be 1, since "c1" is a fixed-length character string type and the values are right-padded with spaces to fit the defined length, in this case 1.

I'm using SQL Server 2005.

Good SQL Query

Mar 7, 2005

Folks, i've got a table with a column; ACCOUNT VARCHAR(30). All the values numeric though. (leave abt the datatype yet).
The column is clustered indexed.

SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE LEFT(ACCOUNT,3)='123'
execution plan shows CLUSTERED INDEX SCAN.

SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE ACCOUNT LIKE '123%'
execution plan shows CLUSTERED INDEX SEEK.

How, why. Why doesn't the optimizer works good for the first query?

Howdy!

What Are Some Good Books On SQL Query Optimization And Other Advanced SQL Topics?

Aug 6, 2007

I graduated from college about three years ago and have been working as a programmer using MS SQL 2000 and even though I've learned a TON in these past three years I know there is tons more I can learn.

Because my company uses Microsoft SQL Server 2000 I'd like to focus on that, but anything ANSI-SQL is perfectly fine.

So... what are some good books on SQL query optimization and other advanced SQL topics?

Thanks in advance...

Building Query Strings Within Stored Procs - Good Or Evil?

Feb 4, 2008

I ran across this technique being used in an application the other day. It seems not a good idea to me. What do you think?

1. The proc builds a basic query, nothing real fancy, into a string variable called @SQL defined as varchar 2000. Depending on the result desired, the group by clause can be one of three different sort orders.

2. The string is executed via EXEC @SQL.

It seems to me that the whole process can eliminate the EXEC and just use some other construct. All the parameters are passed in via the initial call to the stored proc. It also seems that every time this is executed it will result in a new query compile and cache useage, no matter what. Wasteful? Should I take the developers aside and knock heads? I think the app was coded by some folks who were rookies then but may be willing to crack open their code. Or, am I the one that is a rookie?

Thanks for your inputs.

Possibly A BUG In 6.5

Dec 8, 1999

I have a situation where I may have found a bug in SQL 6.5. I have a process that creates a temp table, then calls a stored procedure that uses that temp table, and the temp table has an identity column on it. The second procedure declares a cursor using an ORDER BY clause on the identity column and spins through the records, updating each row. The below sample is a test case that I think proves the bug. If you remove the ORDER BY clause from the cursor declaration, it works fine. Because of the nature of our data, we have to have the ORDER BY clause.

If you put the following code in a window, run it, you'll see. Then remove the ORDER BY and rerun and you'll get good results. Has anyone seen this or know of a work around? The only solution I have for a workaround is to select the data from the temp table into another temp table and declare the cursor on the second temp table. That seems to work fine. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

SQL SERVER 6.5 - SP5a; NT 4.0 SP5

Possibly Merge Join Bug?

Mar 27, 2006

i'm merge joining 2 data sources, one is oracle and the other is excel...the problem is in the oracle source, it's a sql statement like:

select hdr.div_ord_no, hdr.mtr_no, hdr.prod_cd
from qctrl_div_ord_header hdr,
(select max(sub.eff_dt_from) min_eff_dt_from, div_ord_no
from qctrl_div_ord_header sub
group by div_ord_no
) tmp
where hdr.eff_dt_from = tmp.min_eff_dt_from
and hdr.div_ord_no = tmp.div_ord_no

having that sql statement, merging will come out with 0 rows

however, having a simple query like:

select hdr.div_ord_no, hdr.mtr_no, hdr.prod_cd
from qctrl_div_ord_header hdr

merging will come out with 2 rows

you may think that the data in the first sql statement is not there for the merge, which causing the 0 rows, however, the data is there, i'm only joining by one column and definitely the data is there, the merge result should be 2 rows for both query statements

i believe this is a problem with SSIS, anyway around this?

Autogrow Of Log File Possibly Cause Timeout?

Jan 30, 2007

i had a problem with a server instance where an app processing a file and putting the data into the database using a stored procedure was timing out. the app is a service and in the case of errors, will try to process the file until it has been succesfully added data to the database. in the event viewer i keep seeing this message during this timeout period:

"Autogrow of file 'mydatabase_log' in database 'mydatabase' was cancelled by user or timed out after 15687 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size."

is there a possibility that this process was causing my SP to timeout? are there any other log or debug files that SQL Express creates that might be helpful in discovering what caused the timeout? currently the log is at... ouch 10gigs restricted... maybe trying to autogrow from this while restricted is hogging resources?

Question About Database Mirroring And Possibly NLB

Sep 12, 2006

OK since my company really would not prefer to spend the money for Windows 2003 Enterprise and MS SQL 2005 Enterprise I was thinking about this idea...

Server1 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Primary
Server2 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Mirror
Server3 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Witness
Server4 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Processing

OK So we have Server1 & Server2 doing the Database Mirroring. Then I have Server3 as the Witness to say who is the Primary and so forth. Now Server4 I thinking to us to create jobs that will run on a Schedule to pull data from our Ticketing system and import it into Server1 & Server2 (Yes this is a Datawarehouse).. So what I am wondering... We really wish to not have to change our connections to the DB with the Failover connection string and just use a common name. Since we are not usng Enterprise I can not do the Failover Clustering... So what I was wondering is if we could use the MS NLB. So for example with Server1 being primary and Server2 being Mirror... Server1 dies or goes down for maintance or whatever... Then Server3 will notice that and say OK Server2 you are now primary but also have Server3 go into the MS NLB and say Server3 Online and take all connections. Then when Server1 comes back on-line it is set as the Mirror system and is Offline in the NLB... Is this possible? If yes can someone either A... Give me directions on how to do that... or B shot me some URL's where I can read up on this stuff?

Thanks for all your help anyone is able to provide. It is greatly appricated.

SUM And JOIN And Possibly GROUP BY - Incorrect Value Returned By SUM

Mar 23, 2006

It's me again :)

So; if you read my earlier thread here (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214353), you'll know that I'm trying to build stored procedures to deal with ticketing queries, and that it's all getting a bit complicated. I have, however, made a bit of progress and now have the following working:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[getAvailableTickets]

[B]SUM([tblBasket].[ticket_quantity]) AS History,
[tblTickets].[price],
[tblTickets].[availability]

LEFT JOIN [tblEvents]ON [tblEvents].[id] = [tblTickets].[event_id]
LEFT JOIN [tblStands]ON [tblStands].[id] = [tblTickets].[stand_id]

WHERE 1=1
AND ([tblTickets].[ticket_open] = 1)
AND (([tblEvents].[id] = @eventId OR @eventId = 0)AND ([tblEvents].[event_open] = 1))
AND (([tblStands].[id] = @standId OR @standId = 0)AND ([tblStands].[stand_open] = 1))
AND (([tblAdmissionDates].[id] = @admissionDateId OR @admissionDateId = 0)AND ([tblAdmissionDates].[date_open] = 1))
AND ([tblTicketConcessions].[id] = @concessionId OR @concessionId = 0)
AND ((getdate() BETWEEN [tblBookingDates]. AND [tblBookingDates].[booking_end_date]) OR ([tblBookingDates].[booking_start_date] IS NULL AND [tblBookingDates].[booking_end_date] IS NULL))

GROUP BY

[tblAdmissionDates].[admission_end_date],
[tblBookingMinQuantities].[booking_quantity],
[tblBookingMaxQuantities].[booking_quantity],
[tblTickets].[price],
[tblTickets].[availability]
GO

Except... there's two problems with it. One is that it only returns tickets that you've already bought, the other is that it doens't work out correctly how many of those tickets you've bought in past orders.

This is what's in tblBasket:

idticket_idquantityorder_iddate
152321/03/2006
262321/03/2006
3144421/03/2006
4154421/03/2006
551421/03/2006

Both the orders in there are for the same user id: "1". All the tickets in there are tied to event "2".

When I run Exec dbo.getAvailableTickets 2,0,0,0,1, it tells me it's found 6 of ticket 5, 4 of ticket 6 and 12 of ticket 14. And I can't for the life of me figure out how it's calculating it. Any ideas?

And how do i get it to return all tickets regardless of whether you've bought them previously or not?

Unknown Backup Running (possibly Unauthorized)

May 1, 2008

Hello everyone.

First off, I know little to nothing about SQL. I run the IIS web server and the programmers run the SQL server. Recently the programmers found a backup running everynight at midnight and its messing up the Differential backups. By that I mean, since the full backup runs, the differential isnt backing anything up since it is set to only backup from the last full backup.

The backup seems to be backing up to a "Virtual Device" and I have no idea what that is. I am unable to see any user associated with the backup and I'm at a total loss as to where the data is going. Can someone please help me resolve this issue. I searched but was unable to find anything as I have no idea what to search for to find where this backup is coming from.

Here is a log from said backup...

Database backed up. Database: dbname, creation date(time): 2008/03/10(03:40:58), pages dumped: 1, first LSN: 288:523:56, last LSN: 288:547:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{B9A0EFAB-8894-4BBC-BC77-82DA1B58E2D4}28'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

Lastly... The programmers do have backups running.. full once a week and differentials inbetween. the problem is, those logs look like this...

Log was backed up. Database: dbname, creation date(time): 2008/04/09(03:32:53), first LSN: 135:305:1, last LSN: 135:305:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'D:ackup imeanddate.BAK'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

Thank you in advance!

MS HotFixes/patches Possibly Stunting DB Activity For Certain Amounts Of Data?

Jun 14, 2004

I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on a problem I’ve noticed that's really made for a major thorn in my side. I recently had a Microsoft patch installed on my server, and now for some reason, trying to run INSERT or UPDATE queries against the SQL 2000 database are severely limited. I constantly get the error:

“Error: A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.�?

My Event Logs also return the following:

"Invalid buffer received from client."

I think I’ve isolated the problem to be that I can’t add new or modify existing records that try using a field which is of type TEXT, but now can’t be longer than 4,000 characters, else the error fires. This is really weird, as I’ve used the same ASP.NET script to call a stored procedure to INSERT/UPDATE records thousands of times before with 100% success.

I have a feeling this might have something to do with the patch, but has anyone come across this problem specifically, or know for sure which patch(es) cause it? Why all of a sudden would a TEXT field be so limited in capacity?

Help With A Simple Query

Oct 1, 2007

I am trying to make a single display page for an author's books.the books page only displays books of a type "type" (novels, non-fiction, etc)I would like to make it so that it can also show all books if "type" isn't selected. I THOUGHT the string would look like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDSBooks" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csK2Reader %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Books] ( If @Type <> "" then WHERE ([Type] = @Type)) ORDER BY [SortDate] DESC"> But it doesn't seem to want to work. I get a "server tag is not well formed" error.

Simple SQL Query -- Perhaps You Can Help

May 28, 2006

I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere. That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help. Here's what's going on:
I have a "Documents" table. Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table. Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships. Let's call that table BD.
When I create a document it creates a row in D. Let's call that D1, D2...DN. When I create a benefit it creates a row in B. Let's call that B1, B2...BN
When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table. Now here's what my challenge is. Suppose I have these entries in my tables:
D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3
Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2
When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1. In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added. How do I write a SQL query to do this?
Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3)
SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL)
Any thoughts?

Simple Query

Aug 21, 2004

Hi,

I have a very simple question:

declare @treshold int
set @treshold = 10

SELECT
dbo.fn_Calc(t.column1) as calc,
t.column2
FROM
mytable t
WHERE
dbo.fn_Calc(t.column1) > @treshold

I can't think of a way to get rid of the function call in the WHERE clause.
Is this actualy a problem ?

I mean does realy the function fn_Calc execute 2 times in this statement and isn't this a performance issue then?

thanks

Simple Query

Jan 7, 2005

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:

Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:

Code:

-----
| ID |
-----
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
------

Would return something like:

Code:

----------------
| ID | Count |
----------------
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
-----------------

This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.

When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.

Simple SQL Query

Sep 19, 2005

Hi folks,

I am a complete newbie to SQL. I have a simple query to make in SQL, but I'm not being able to construct the statement properly. I've already tried googling this info, but with little luck. If someone could help me here, I'd be very thankful.

The problem:

I have a table with a list of questions. All questions have a serial number. The query has to return whether a particular question is the last one in the table or not (according to serial no.)

Logically, this is the query -

Code:

select islast = 0
if count(*) from question where serialno > $serial != 0
else
select islast = 1;

The '$serial' part will get replaced dynamically before query execution through another program.

Any idea how to code this in valid SQL? I would like to make it a simple statement and not a stored procedure. Thanks.
