SELECT. Need Advice. How Should I Code This?

Dec 4, 2006

Hello,I need a procedure to return the value of field [ContentHtml] given values for [ContentName] and [ContentCulture].In theory only one record will be found so only one [ContentHtml] value will be returned.If multiple records are found I want to return "#MultipleFound#".If no record is found I want to return "#NotFound#".In my .NET code I am executing a ExecuteScalar:  Dim Html As String = CType(command.ExecuteScalar, String)I believe I should use @@ROWCOUNT to do this.Could somebody explain to me how to integrate @@ROWCOUNT in my procedure code to achieve what I described?And should I do it this way or there is a better solution?My Procedure is as follows:    -- Define the procedure parameters  @ContentName NVARCHAR(100),  @ContentCulture NVARCHAR(5)AS-- Allows @@ROWCOUNT and the return of number of records when ExecuteNonQuery is usedSET NOCOUNT OFF;-- Declare and define ContentIdDECLARE @ContentId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;SELECT @ContentId = ContentId FROM dbo.by27_Content WHERE ContentName = @ContentName-- Check if ContentId is Not NullIF @ContentId IS NOT NULL  BEGIN        -- Select localized content from by27_ContentLocalized     SELECT dbo.by27_ContentLocalized.ContentHtml    FROM dbo.by27_Content    INNER JOIN dbo.by27_ContentLocalized      ON dbo.by27_Content.ContentId = dbo.by27_ContentLocalized.ContentId      WHERE (dbo.by27_ContentLocalized.ContentCulture = @ContentCulture AND dbo.by27_Content.ContentName = @ContentName);   ENDThanks,Miguel

Advice Needed: Where To Put ADO Code

Jan 5, 2007

I need some advice on a project that I am working on...
First, here is what I am trying to achieve:  A Web Form with two controls:  A DropDownList with two items added at design time (Fruits and Vegetables) and an empty ListBox.  When the user chooses a "category" from the DropDownList, the ListBox will be populated with a list of either "Fruits" or "Vegetables" retrieved from a SQL database.  (Note:  Since the data in the SQL database must be converted and formatted programatically, simply databinding the ListBox will not work here.)
I believe that I can do this with the following code (stolen from an MSDN article):'Create ADO.NET objects.
Private myConn As SqlConnection
Private myCmd As SqlCommand
Private myReader As SqlDataReader
Private results As String

'Create a Connection object.
myConn = New SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=Northwind;" & _
"Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;")

'Create a Command object.
myCmd = myConn.CreateCommand
myCmd.CommandText = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees"

'Open the connection.
myConn.Open()

myReader = myCmd.ExecuteReader()

'Concatenate the query result into a string.
Do While myReader.Read()
results = results & myReader.GetString(0) & vbTab & _
myReader.GetString(1) & vbLf
Loop
'Display results.
MsgBox(results)

'Close the reader and the database connection.
myReader.Close()
myConn.Close()
  Now here is the part that I am not sure about:  Is the FormLoad event the best place to put this code?  If I do, is this not a lot of overhead (creating, opening and closing a connection) everytime there is a page refresh/PostBack?   Would I be better off putting this code in the DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged event?  Although that seems like it could make the process of selecting a category take a fairly long time.
Finally, if the is a better way of doing this, I am certainly open to suggestions.
All advice is greatly appreciated.

Best Practice Advice For Efficient SQL Connection Code

Feb 26, 2006

Hi,
I have an application which is similar to the following example
Private Sub Start()For a as int16 = 1 to 300lstResults.items.add(GetPriceFromItem(a))NextEnd Sub
Private Function GetPriceFromItem(byval item as int16) as String'Connect to SQL'Execute "SELECT Price FROM Table WHERE Item='" & item.tostring & "'"'Close Database connection'Return PriceEnd Function
I want to know if there is a more efficeint way of doing this, i.e. i'm concerned that the routine creates 300 SqlConnection instances, 300 open/closes and 300 queries
Would a better way be to connect to SQL once, get the entire table then do the 300 "lookups" locally somehow, perhaps put it all into a DataTable, but can you query a datatable in this way, or could you suggest another control.
Best Regards
Ben

Advice On Importing Access Data Into MSSQL Table Using Code

Aug 2, 2004

Hi,

I'm about to embark on writing some code in perl or VBscript that automatically synchronises a constantly updated Access database with an MSSQL database.

I know MSSQL has an import tool built into Enterprise manager but I'm wondering if theres a stored procedure that does this?

The way I'm thinking of doing it is to read the all the access tables into separate hash arrays and then INSERTing them into the MSSQL database after checking for any duplicates. This all sounds a bit time consuming (there are a large number of tables) and processor intensive.

If anyones done anything like this before, I'd love to hear their views......!

Thanks!

Trigger, Inserted Pseudo Table?

Jul 1, 2004

I am trying to create a trigger on a table but when I check the syntax it
tells me that "The column prefix 'inserted' does not match with a table name or alias used in this query"


CREATE TRIGGER trg_Structural_GenerateBarcode ON [dbo].[tbStructuralComponentSchedule]
AFTER INSERT
AS
DECLARE @iCount int, @cBarcode char (25), @cCode char(4)
DECLARE @cProject char(7), @cComponent char(10), @iEntryID int

SELECT @cProject = inserted.fkProjectNumber, @cComponent = inserted.fkComponentID, @iEntryID = inserted.EntryID

.......
GO


How do I use the inserted pseudo table?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Merging Pseudo Duplicate Records

Apr 21, 2014

We have a data warehouse staging database in which we capture change history for hundreds of tables from a source system. In the source system, records are updated in place, but in our data warehouse we capture these changes by "terminating" the existing record and adding a new record reflecting the changes. In the data warehouse we add two columns to every table -- effective_date and expiration_date -- which indicate the dates the record was in effect in the source system. By convention, an expiration_date of 6/6/2079 means the record is currently still active in the source system. Each day we simply compare yesterday's version of the record (in the data warehouse) against today's version (in the source system). If differences are found in any of the columns, we terminate the record and add a new one, setting those dates appropriately.

In this example, the employee_id column is the natural key in the source system. We add the effective_date and expiration_date in the data warehouse, so those three columns together make up the key in the data warehouse. The employee_name, employee_dept, and last_login_date columns all come from the source system as well.

drop table mytbl
create table mytbl (
effective_date smalldatetime,
expiration_date smalldatetime,
employee_id int,
employee_name varchar(30),

[code]....

In the select output, you can follow the trail of changes for each of these three employees. Bob moved from dept 7 to 8 at some point; Frank didn't change departments at all; Cheryl moved from dept 6 to 9 and later back to 6. However, the last_login_date was updated frequently for all these employees.

We've tracked hundreds of tables this way for years, some with hundreds of columns. For optimization purposes, I'm now interested in trimming the fat a bit. That is, we track changes in many columns that we don't really need in our data warehouse. Some of these columns are rapidly-changing, causing all sorts of unnecessary terminate/inserts in the data warehouse. My goal is to remove these columns, reclaim the disk space and increase the ETL speed. So in this example, let's get rid of the last_login_date column.

alter table mytbl
drop column last_login_date
select *
from mytbl
order by employee_id, effective_date

Now in the select output, you can see we have many "effective duplicate" records. For example, nothing changed for Bob between 1/1/2014 and 1/31/2014 -- those really should be one record, not three. Here's the challenge: I'm looking for an efficient way to merge these "effective duplicates" together, through set-based sql updates/deletes/inserts (hoping to avoid any RBAR operations). Here's what the table ultimately should look like (cheating to get there):

create table mytbl2 (
effective_date smalldatetime,
expiration_date smalldatetime,
employee_id int,
employee_name varchar(30),
employee_dept int

[code]...

Note that Bob only has two records (he changed department), Frank only has one record (no changes), and Cheryl has three records (two department changes).

My inclination would be to drop the unwanted columns, then GROUP BY all the remaining columns from the source system, and taking the MIN effective_date and MAX expiration_date. However, this doesn't work for cases like Cheryl's -- she moved to another department, then back again, so that change history needs to be retained.

As I mentioned, we have hundreds of tables, and I'd like to strip out dozens (maybe hundreds) of unused columns, so ultimately there will be millions of these pseudo-duplicates that need to be merged together. These are huge tables, so I really need to find an efficient set-based approach to this.

Help With Converting Code: VB Code In SQL Server 2000-&&>Visual Studio BI 2005

Jul 27, 2006

Hi all--I'm trying to convert a function which I inherited from a SQL Server 2000 DTS package to something usable in an SSIS package in SQL Server 2005. Given the original code here:
Function Main()
on error resume next
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set rs = DTSGlobalVariables("SQLstring").value

for i = 1 to rs.RecordCount
sSQL = rs.Fields(0).value
cn.Execute sSQL, , 128 'adExecuteNoRecords option for faster execution
rs.MoveNext
Next

Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

End Function

This code was originally programmed in the SQL Server ActiveX Task type in a DTS package designed to take an open-ended number of SQL statements generated by another task as input, then execute each SQL statement sequentially. Upon this code's success, move on to the next step. (Of course, there was no additional documentation with this code. :-)

Based on other postings, I attempted to push this code into a Visual Studio BI 2005 Script Task with the following change:

public Sub Main()

...

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

End Class

I get the following error when I attempt to compile this:

Error 30209: Option Strict On requires all variable declarations to have an 'As' clause.

I am new to Visual Basic, so I'm on a learning curve here. From what I know of this script:
- The variables here violate the new Option Strict On requirement in VS 2005 to declare what type of object your variable is supposed to use.

- I need to explicitly declare each object, unless I turn off the Option Strict On (which didn't seem recommended, based on what I read).

Given this statement:

dim cn, i, rs, sSQL

I'm looking at "i" as type Integer; rs and sSQL are open-ended arrays, but can't quite figure out how to read the code here:

Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"

set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

This code seems to create an instance of a COM component, then pass provider information and create the recordset being passed in by the previous task, but am not sure whether this syntax is correct for VS 2005 or what data type declaration to make here. Any ideas/help on how to rewrite this code would be greatly appreciated!

How To Show Description In Report Instead Of Code (Desc For Code Is In Master Table)

Mar 28, 2007

Dear Friends,



I am having 2 Tables.

Table 1: AddressBook
Fields --> User Name, Address, CountryCode



Table 2: Country
Fields --> Country Code, Country Name


Step 1 : I have created a Cube with these two tables using SSAS.



Step 2 : I have created a report in SSRS showing Address list.

The Column in the report are User Name, Address, Country Name



But I have no idea, how to convert this Country Code to Country name.

I am generating the report using the Layout tab. ( Data | Layout | Preview ) Report1.rdl [Design]



Anyone help me to solve this issue. Because, in our project most of the transaction tables have Code and Code description in master table. I need to convert all code into corresponding description in all my reports.




Thanks in advance.

Many Lines Of Code In Stored Procedure && Code Behind

Feb 24, 2008

Hello,
I'm using ASP.Net to update a table which include a lot of fields may be around 30 fields, I used stored procedure to update these fields. Unfortunatily I had to use a FormView to handle some TextBoxes and RadioButtonLists which are about 30 web controls.
I 've built and tested my stored procedure, and it worked successfully thru the SQL Builder.The problem I faced that I have to define the variable in the stored procedure and define it again the code behind againALTER PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateItems
(
@eName nvarchar, @ePRN nvarchar, @cID nvarchar, @eCC nvarchar,@sDate nvarchar,@eLOC nvarchar, @eTEL nvarchar, @ePhone nvarchar,

CCHTitle = @CCHTitle, CCHsigdt = @CCHsigdt, username = @username, levent = @levent, eventdate = @eventdate, eventtime = @eventtime
WHERE (ePRN = @ePRN)
and the code behind which i have to write will be something like thiscmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eName", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1")).Text);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ePRN", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox2")).Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@cID", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox3")).Text);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eCC", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox4")).Text);
((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox7")).Text = ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox7")).Text + ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox6")).Text + ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox5")).Text;cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@sDate", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox7")).Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eLOC", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox8")).Text);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eTel", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox9")).Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ePhone", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox10")).Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eMobile", ((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox11")).Text);
So is there any way to do it better than this way ??
Thank you

My company has a well established SQL 2000 database with windows application which has been created by myself, what i am planning on doing is creating a web site, using asp.net and publishing some of the information, so that our clients may use it, and stop pestering us on the phone. what i would like to know is what would be the best way forward, obviously i don't want to show them all our information, and don't want to put 5Gb worth of data onto a ISP website. What would you suggest i do?

Help/Advice?

DECLARE @returnDay int
SELECT @returnDay = DatePart(day,GetDate())
If @returnDay = 8
BEGIN
select * from Hospitals left join Units ON Units.HospitalID = Hospitals.HospitalID where Units.HospitalID is null
RETURN
END

this is just a part of the procedure I am trying to create, I am getting hospitals that haven't submitted any data and wish to send them an email.

on the other hand I have two tables that have all the data for emailing to hospitals but are not linked to tables giving the list of hospitals

I have been advised to create a cursor(easier said then done) that will go through my list of records that need to receive an email

nothing going very well with that at the moment.

so I was hoping to see if somebody has any other suggestions for me.....

With below procedure, Since an employee can have multiple DEGREEID , the cursor is giving OUPTUT ie, COUNT for the LAST Degreeid. Eventhough the previous DEGREEID dont have any DEPARTMENT...but only for the LAST DEGREEID...!

How can I solve this..... whether I can solve this with CURSOR or I have to use someother way...Please advice me !

Need Advice

Jul 18, 2006

Hi all,

My first request for help here even if I read this site quite often and got tons of usueful information. Thanx all

I have an application (VB 6) calling store procedure on a SQLServer 2000 DB. One of the table gives me headache. I wrote a simple store procedure to insert a record into that table. If I call the store procedure from query manager it works perfect but if I call it from VB it looks like to work (return from the execute fine) but then I query the table for that record and it'll just take time and then return time out. I have to stop the VB application and then query it again then it'll return no record.

I suspect the table being locked somehow but I check inside the VB app code and that's the only place the table is called. Further more I have hundred of store procedures being used that way and they're all ok. I indexed the table , no use either...

I am just short of ideas how to debug this...I'll need your advice :)

thank you

Any T-SQL Advice?

Feb 6, 2006

Okay, given my newness to SQL, and the complexity of this query, I thought I'drun this by you for your opinion:SELECT DISTINCT a.WeekEnding, c.lastdate, c.numlate, b.totaldateFROM Accomplishment a LEFT OUTER JOIN(SELECT weekending, COUNT(weekending) AStotaldateFROM AccomplishmentWHERE (EmployeeID = 50)GROUP BY weekending) b ON a.WeekEnding =b.weekending LEFT OUTER JOIN(SELECT weekending, MAX(entrydate) ASlastdate, COUNT(weekending) AS numlateFROM accomplishmentWHERE employeeid = 50 AND entrydate >weekendingGROUP BY weekending) c ON a.WeekEnding =c.weekendingORDER BY a.WeekEndingWhat I'm trying to do is for each pay period find which ones the employeesubmitted a timesheet and which they were late (and if they were late, howmany of them). However, the query takes a good 5 seconds, and it seemsremoving the "entrydate > weekending" clause speeds things up to almostinstant, however it does ruin the count that I really want. No idea whythat makes such a difference..

New To CE And Need Some Advice.

Aug 3, 2007

Hello,

I am new to the CE OS, SQL CE and mobile computing in general. I have been developing database applications using MS products ever since Windows 3.11 and Visual Basic 1.0. I have used MS Access and SQL Server since they were first released. But, I have never worked with Windows CE or any of the mobile OSs or with SQL CE or SQL Mobile.

We now have a project that requires us to develop a database application on handheld devices using the CE 4.2 and CE 5.0 OSs.We will be using CF 2.0, VS 2005 and SQL 2005 for our development environment.

My questions are:
1. Which version of mobile SQL will allow us to best develop for both the CE 4.2 and 5.0 OSs usinf VS 2005? I have done a lot of reading online and it's pretty confusing. There are quite a number of different versions out there. It seems some work with 4.2 and some with 5.0. Is there a version that will work for both?

2. Is SQL CE 3.0 (Sql 2005 Mobile) available for other than Laptop and Tablet use? When i finaly got to the download page for this version there was verbiage there that suggested it was not available for smart devices.

3. What is a good source of info to resolve these questions? I am using the MSDN areas for CE and SQL Mobile but haven't really found what I need to get started. Any suggestions on forums, books, articles, blogs, etc... would be greatly appreciated.

I know these are very broad questions but I want to get some advice from the experienced before going to far here.

Asking For Advice

Aug 9, 2007

Hi everyone,

i wonder if any one can give me some advice.

here is my situation, i have a central database server that contains all the data, running in an intranet, the client application, which is a thick client containing most of the biz logics is installed on a laptop,

i m required to develop a solution so that when the client application is disconnect to the database server (e.g. the laptop is taken away somewhere) the application can still work and when the client application gets connect to the database server again the application will be able to synchronize changes with the database and update all the changes. and i m not allow to develop a web-base application

my initial thinking is to use merge replication, however, i m conerning with the performance on the laptop if i have to install sql server on the laptop.

is there any other approach that can still achieve the requirement and have a better performance?


thanks a lot in advance.

DB Design Advice

Jan 12, 2007

I'm creating a DB to track clients, programs, and client participation in the programs. They are service programs. A client can be in more than one program and a program can have more than one client.
Can someone give me an example of how they would layout the tables?
My guess is:
tblClient, ClientID
tblClientProgramLog, ProLogID, ClientID
tblProgramDetails, ProDetailID, ProLogID
tblPrograms, ProgramID, ProDetailID
I appreciate any suggestions,

Need Advice. Blog

Mar 28, 2007

Hello,I am creating a simple blog system using SQL 2005.I have a Blog table:[BlogId] > PostId (PK), BlogTitle, ...And a Posts table[Posts] > PostId (PK), BlogId (FK), PostContent, PostLabels, ...PostLabels would have the following format:Label1,Label2,Label3, etc ...I will need to perform 3 actions:1. Get all posts in blog2. Get all labels in a post3. Get all unique existing labels in all posts in a blog and make a list.I am not sure if my approach of using a simple labels column in my Posts table is a good idea.So my other idea would be to add two more tables:[BlogLabels] > BlogLabelId (PK), BlogId (FK), LabelName ...[LabelsInPosts] > BlogLabelId (PK), PostId (PK)So my idea is:1. When creating a post one of the parameters would be a comma    separating string with all labels for the post.   Inside SQL Procedure I will need to loop through each label and    check if it exists in BlogLabels. If not then I added it.   For each label I add a records in LabelsInPosts.   How to create this loop? Am I thinking this right?2. To get a list of all labels in a blog I would need to go to    BlogLabels and get all labels which are related with posts in    LabelsInPosts. Those posts must be only the ones that are related   with my given BlogId.   Grrr, this is getting really confusing for me.   Is this possible to to? How?Please, give me some advice about all this.Thanks,Miguel

Advice Needed

Jun 1, 2007

Hi everyone,
My hoster hosts asp.net but does not yet support sql 2005 only sql 2000 and access I want to use either of the starter kits. I am confused on what is needed to make the changes to make either sql 2000 or access work. I know enough that the connection strings will need to change my concern is code. Is there strings that I will need to find and change in the application. I sure would appreciate any and all advice. Thank you for your help.

Database Advice

Dec 8, 2007

 Hi,I recently contacted my hosting company's customer support about my databases not working - saying that I use sql express (which they support).The guy recommended:
"I would suggest you to upgrade the db's to use mssql 2005." "This
is because, sql express is built for development environment. When you
are in development environment, you are accessing everything with
administrator permission. However, in live hosting environment (when
there are differnet kind of permission restrictions), sql express often
failed on attaching database." Does anyone have any opinion on that? Would it be best to change db's to use mssql 2005? How complicated/time consuming will it be to upgrade?Thanks!Jon

Need Advice On Updates

Mar 15, 2008

Hi, I just started learning ASP.NET this week and have watched a mountain of videos from this website which has helped me alot However I have been stuck on a problem for 2 days now. I have created an SQL database with the Following 2 tables: USERS                        COMPUTERSUserid                           Computerid   firstname                       Useridsecondname                  Manufacturer                                    Model I have made a relationship between the 2 tables. I then created a dataset with the following query:SELECT COMPUTERS.Computer_ID, COMPUTERS.Manufacturer, COMPUTERS.Model, USERS.First_Name, USERS.Last_Name FROM COMPUTERS INNER JOIN USERS ON COMPUTERS.User_ID = USERS.User_ID I however do not get the option in my grid view when i output this data, to UPDATE. The best i have found from google is that i need to use subqueries and not innerjoins but i just cant seem to get my head around them, please help as i feel my head may just explode if i think about this or try any more ways to get this to work :D
