How would I write a query to produce all combinations for a situation such as the following?
Suppose I wanted to write a sentence, "This is [adjective] [noun]." where [adjective] comes from the Adjective table and [noun] come from the Noun table.
Adjective table looks like e.g.
ID Adj
1 good
2 so so
3 bad
Noun table looks like e.g.
ID Noun
1 apple
2 orange
3 banana
And the result set would look like
This is good apple.
This is so so apple.
This is bad apple.
This is good orange.
This is so so orange.
This is bad orange.
This is good banana.
This is so so banana.
This is bad banana.
I would take a stab at this myself and post even something that doesn't work...
I was using the code in this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1371094&SiteID=1) to create a console application which can build the SSIS package dynamically and run the package.
I'm not clear on what all could be the possible key / value combinations for the SetComponentProperty Method. From the examples I have seen its either SqlCommand or OpenRowSet. But I'm not sure about the "AccessMode" with values either 0 or 2. Is there any reference where I get more information on these?
Code Block // Set the custom properties of the source. srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2); srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", "Select * from devdb..empl_karun");
And I want to end with a table that has every unique combination of these records (the order being reversed would be considered 'unique' in this context)
The requirement in to write a query which will return top 2 rows (in terms of lst_updt_timestamp column) for every combinations of cust_alias_nm, carrier_cd, acct_nbr columns.
Here I wrote a query which selects top 1 only. Please help me to write to get the top 2nd along with the top 1st row.
select A.cust_alias_nm_id, A.carrier_cd_id, A.acct_nbr_id, sum(A.pd_clm_amt) clm_amt, sum(A.pd_med_amt) med_amt, sum(A.pd_exp_amt) exp_amt, A.lst_updt_timestamp from bal_load_stg A group by A.cust_alias_nm_id, A.carrier_cd_id, A.acct_nbr_id, A.lst_updt_timestamp having A.lst_updt_timestamp in ( (select max(lst_updt_timestamp) from bal_load_stg B where A.cust_alias_nm_id = B.cust_alias_nm_id and A.carrier_cd_id = B.carrier_cd_id and A.acct_nbr_id = B.acct_nbr_id))
I am quite new in sql. I am writing a report which takes data of one same column and summing them according to the type as described in another column("TR_1"."TTYPE"). So far I have succeeded to get the sum of only one type at a time (by putting WHERE "TR_1"."TTYPE" = or not equal the desired type). For example: I want to create two columns, one showing the sum of the budget and the other the some of the actuals: here is my SQL instruction (the column "TR_1"."TTYPE" give the record type): ****************************************************************** SELECT SUM("TR_1"."AmountLCU")*-1 "Budget",rtrim("TR_1"."COSTCENTER") "Cost Centre",rtrim("TR_1"."ACCOUNT") "Account Num",rtrim("TR_1"."DONOR") "Donor Num", "TR_1"."AmountLCU"*-1 "Amount","TR_1"."TTYPE", rtrim("TR_1"."ACTIVITY") "Activity Code" FROM "scalaDB"."dbo"."A_GL0601_PREVIOUS" "TR_1" WHERE NOT ("TR_1"."TTYPE"='' OR "TR_1"."TTYPE"='a' OR "TR_1"."TTYPE"='c') AND NOT ("TR_1"."COSTCENTER"=N'' OR "TR_1"."COSTCENTER"=N'0000') AND (("TR_1"."ACCOUNT">=N'26' AND "TR_1"."ACCOUNT"<N'7100') OR ("TR_1"."ACCOUNT">N'7100' AND "TR_1"."ACCOUNT"<=N'7999')) GROUP BY "TR_1"."COSTCENTER","TR_1"."ACCOUNT","TR_1"."DONOR","TR_1"."ACTIVITY","TR_1"."AmountLCU","TR_1"."TTYPE"
********************************************************************** Note: the report is written in Crystal reports and the database is SQL Server (not sure of the version)
We need to store land title information about properties in variousAustralian states, but each state maintains it's own land titleregistry and use different columns (well actually differentcombinations of the same columns). For example:Victoria store:TorrensUnitTorrensVolumeTorrensFolioQueensland store:TorrensCountyTorrensLotTorrensPlanTorrensParishTorrensUnitTorrensVolumeTorrensTitleRefThere are 11 different columns and they are used in 8 differentcombinations depending on the state.Since we need to store information about land in different states I seetwo possible solutions:1. A sparse table containing the 11 columns with a CHECK constraint toenforce the valid combinations.2. A table for each state containing only the columns relevant to thestate with a foreign key relationship to the table containing thecommon columns.I'm not sure if the data type and length is consistent between statesyet (waiting to find this out) but assuming that it is which of theseapproaches is going to be the most rigorous? I'm leaning towards (2)but I don't like the feel of a table per state.
Hello all, I have an odd requirement. I have a column with a systemgenerated username that is a 6 character, alphanumeric, field. Theseusernames are randomly generated by code. I need to create a storedprocedure that will return all combinations that are not alreadybeingused. Maybe the result of still trying to wake-up from a longweekend.But, I cannot think of an easy way to do this.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Best regards,rbr
I need to populate a table which have 10 columns with four values. Each row should be a different combination of these four values and the columns can be null too. In other words how can I get all the different combinations for the 4 values that can be in 10 buckets. The final result column based on these values will be generated manually.
For example , I have for grades (P,F, WP, WF) and I have 8 terms and two exams. 8 terms and two exams can have any of the above four values. Based on these grades and terms and exams I need to generate a table which wil be used to determine the student final status Pass/Fail.
What will be the best way to do this and how is it possible. Is there a T-SQL or C# program for this.
If I need to submit this in another forum please let me know.
I am trying to get data as it is available in the table but every time I run sql statement it shows in asending order. How can I avoid this asending order situation?
I am relatively new to this and trying to make my database as efficient as possible.
Here is the situation. In my database, there are multiple "stocks" that each have a "pricing history". When something happens that changes the price of the stock, an entry containing information about the time the change occured, who changed it, etc. is added.
I have many stocks. The information of these stocks is independant in the sense that I never really need to grab/compare information about two stocks at once. I only look at one stock at a time.
So, do I set up a "pricing history" table for every single stock (pricinghist1,pricinghist2,etc.)? Or do I set up one "pricing history" table it and index the table by stock number?
Are these equivilant? Is one more efficient than the other?
(1) I have 2 packages that run independently of eachother. (2) Both are scheduled in SQLServer Agent Jobs as separate jobs. (3) Job A is scheduled to run every 12 hours and Job B is scheduled to run every 10 minutes. (4) However, I want to prevent Job B from running if Job A happens to be running. (5) It is unknown exactly how long Job A will take to finish so I can't schedule Job B around it.
The way I wanted to approach this situation is as follows.
Within Job A's package, create a "marker" file when the package starts and delete it when the package finishes. So the existence of this marker file will tell Job B's package if it should run or not.
The concept is simple, but I'm not sure how to implement this.
For example, to create the marker file, I would use a File System Task, but I don't see an option in there to "create file". (However, I do see an option for "delete file".) Also, what task would I use in Job B's package to check if the marker file exists.
Lastly, If you have better approach, I would like to hear about it.
I'm creating a database for a new application and I'm currently facing a design problem, regarding a business requierment for the membership module.
The Membership Module of the application has several business requierments, specified by the client. One of them is the ability to add and remove details about their members. So far, I've created a schema, named Person, which will contain a number of tables responsible for everything related with the membership, as an individual.
To help you guys understand the design I'm trying to implement, I'll post the fields of two of the tables that belong to the Person schema, as follows:
So far so good. This design works great to preserve the data integrety. Nonetheless, this is where the problems start. Now, imagin you need to let someone from that company add an item to the user (through the application). Let's say we want to allow the company application manager to add an item to the person called "PreviousEmployer". Such item would then be used for statics, thus would probably need to be indexed.
In order to meet this business requierment I would create some addicional tables. Let's get started:
Person.CustomFields
Id (uniqueidentifier)
Name (nvarchar(50))
Description (nvarchar(3000)) [NULLABLE]
Status (bit)
Person.CustomField_Value
FieldId (uniqueidentifier)
Value (nvarchar(450))
This could work just fine if both are indexed (that's why the nvarchar size is set to 450). But I'm guessing this is far from the optimal solution for many reasons, one of them being the efficiency of the index if the company decides to go and use this for a flag (true or false [bit]). Another "solution" breaking scenario would be if the company wants to add the CV of the person, situation in which we were unlikely to be able to add a file in this datafield.
How would you guys approach this issue? The bottom line is that the client needs to be able to add pretty mcuh any type of custom field and perform searches againts it. So, besides being a dynamic solution it needs to be efficient.
Hi, I have the following tables: Categories {Category_ID, Column2, ...} Articles { Article_ID, Category_FK, Column3, ...} Discussions {Discussion_ID, Article_FK, Column3, ...} Now, all what I have is just category_ID value (Let us say 3), how can I do cascade delete to delete category's record that its ID = 3 and delete all articles and all discussions that found in that category?
I have a very urgent situation and to do with SQL Server 6.5, cannot start and the error message I got was: Initdata: Suballocation for buffer pages failed (838860 Bytes requested. Can anyone help me urgent matter.
I need help on reproducing a deadlock. The sample that I have so far is only creating blocking and it never deadlocks. It's because I'm not sure what order the system tables are being help when creating temp tables in a transaction, therefore, I can't tell which pages need to be requested from another transaction to cause the deadlock. Any help will be much appreciated.
We have 2 SQL tables being accessed through an Access form. The tables are an ORDER table and an ORDER-DETAIL table comprised of data regarding the Parts in any given Order. (Yes -- the classic Order-Entry situation.) The Access form is used to view/create new Orders, and shows ORDER data in fields, plus has a large field which presents a "spreadsheet"-like view of the related records from the ORDER-DETAIL table.
The users enter and modify data in the ORDER-DETAIL table directly through this "spreadsheet" in the Access form. However, because there is no PARTS table yet (that's part of what I'm working on), they have to enter part numbers and descriptions *manually* in each ORDER.
So... here's my question:
After I implement a PARTS table, I would like for users to be able to open an ORDER in the Access form, type in a Part # in a row of the ORDER-DETAIL "spreadsheet", and then have the rest of the row populate with the appropriate Part description and other data from the PARTS table. How do I go about making that a reality? Some kind of stored procedure triggered by a change in the Part # field? Ha ha – if so, I am clueless as to how to make that happen. ANY information would greatly appreciated!
Hi, all.. I by mistake Overwrites distribution DB. Server1 and Server2 replicates each other. Applications are using Server1, and Server2 is back up purpose. When server1 fails application redirected SErver2, using same data since there is replication. Server2 had distribution DB.
Now there is no distribution DB.. it's messed up... I want to restore replication between Server1 and Server2. I tried to make replication from Server1, I got errors..
I have a Transaction replication running between 2 SQl 2000 Servers. The distributor is on seperate machine.
Server1 is an online Db which is sending replicated trn to Server2 which is a reporting Server. Because of space issues, I have to remove about 100 Million Rows from Server1 Table without affectiing Server2 Table (Server 2 Retains those rows) Is there any Stored Proc available to disable the replication only during that time ?
OBJECTIVE:THE QUERY SHOULD GIVE ME THE FIELDS I MENTIONED IN THE FIRST QUERY WITH THE CONDITIONS BELOW. CONDITION 1: RateReview field should have yesterday's date CONDITION 2: Email will be send to customer only once so Customer_GUID is UniqueIdentifier CONDITION 3: Customer shouldnt' have opted to get out from receiving any email so Termination field should be NULL ONe Customer can have many transwactions Is there any way i write the code specifying that no email should be sent more than once evereven if customer buys 10 tickets. Only one email sent so i need to specify that if this email has gone to particulare CUSTOMER_GUID then Ignore that record and do not send any email. This would be done by some tool known as StrongMail. SELECT CAST(a.Transaction_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Transaction_GUID, CAST(a.Customer_GUID AS varchar(36)) as Customer_GUID, Film_id as MovieId, First_nm as FirstName, Last_nm as LastName, Email_nm as EmailAddress FROm Table1 where RateReview_dm >= dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), -1) -- Greater or same as Yesterday day and RateReview_dm < dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), 0) -- Less than today's date and and Terminate_dm is null (I don;t know what condition to give that same customer good should not be send email again if send once) i don't know whether i need to create a derive table or it can work without drive table
I have run into a problem, I have 2 fields in my database, both keyfields:Table 1=====Field X <key>Field Y <key>In field X, there are say about 3 records for each unique Field Y. Ilet my users query the data base like follows:Enter the Codes you want: 1000 and 3000 and 8500So I want to pick up records where there will be the above values forAll Y values. i.e 1000/AAA, 3000/AAA, and 8500 for AAA - if there iseven ONE of the X values not matching a record without a matching Xvalue, leave it out.i.e:X=1000,Y=AAAX=3000,Y=AAAX=8500,Y=AAAX=1000,Y=BBBX=3000,Y=BBBX=8500,Y=BBBX=1000,Y=CCCX=3000,Y=CCCX=9999,Y=CCCWhen the query runs, I want to see the following records:X=1000,Y=AAAX=3000,Y=AAAX=8500,Y=AAAX=1000,Y=BBBX=3000,Y=BBBX=8500,Y=BBBBUT NOT:X=1000,Y=CCCX=3000,Y=CCCX=9999,Y=CCCbecause one of the X values was not matched (the last X value =9999 andnot one of the requirements of the search)So I guess I want something like this:SELECT X,Y from TABLE1 WHERE ALL Y VALUES HAVE ALL OF THESE X VALUES(X=1000,X=3000,X=8500) IF ANY X VALUES ARE MISSING SKIP RECORD^^ Hope the above makes sense... but I am really stuck. The only otherway I think I could do it is, copy all records that match all 3 Xvalues into a temp table, and weed out any that are missing any one ofthe X values after they are copied but, I am running this on MYSQL 5.0Clustered, and there is not enough room in memory for it probably...and query time has to remain under a second.Anyhelp would be appreciated...
Hello,I have a rather large table in MS SQL 2000 that I'm writing reports inCrystal from, but I'm unsure how to get the various data files (fromdifferent departments) into the table. Below is a small chunk of thetable:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE;TotHours;Be nefitsI'm getting data from multiple places, but as I import the data, Iwant it to populate the table with DeptCode and Type being the primarykeys.If someone sends me the following file:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE1000;Budget;100;2001010;Target;233;433And I get the following file from another source:DeptCode;Type;TotHours;Benefits1000;Budget;433;4001010;Target;33;43I want a simple way to import all this into the table so it looks likethis:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE;TotHours;Be nefits1000;Budget;100;200;433;4001010;Target;233;433;33;43The data will be coming in delimited text and in Excel format. Iassume I can import his into MS SQL Enterprise Manager directly, but Ican't find any simple way of running in update query to import mydata. Also, I'd hate to use MS Access as the middle-man if at allpossible... but if this is the only option, I'll do it.Does anyone have other suggestions? Above is only a small example...the table has about 25 columns with various data I'll be collectingfrom 3-4 departments, so it's a hodge podge of data to combine intoone report.Thanks for any suggestions or ideas in solving this. Thanks inadvance...Alex.
I am here in a peculiar situtation i am not very sure the problem which i am facing as of know is a Database or Network.
One of our organisation application is connected to SQLServer 2005 (clustered) database was working fine before few days back we gone though a windows 2003 server patch update activity and server was restarted and a failover occured.
The day patch activity is done we are facing data loss problem over the network.
Checked the SQLServer2005 ErrorLog but no error related to database.
Few user are facing problem as mentioned below
Error : Checknetwork Documentation
Search the net but no satisfactory answer.
Please help me with a resolution or work around.
One more Issue :
While pinging the server some time we get request Time out.This Request time out is for 1 ms.
Do this also effects the thick client application connectivity with the Database.

Is there a way to connect to two servers located at remote location in ssis. Here is what i want to achieve.. I Have created a package which will load data from a text file on one sql server1. What i want to do is after data is loaded i want to connect to different server on the remote location and then i want to check to compare the data from server 1 with the existing data in server 2.If the data in server 1 has new records then it should insert that data in to table in server 2.else update.
Servers are located remote and are under two different networks. Can this be achieved using ssis or how can i implement this.
