Can someone plz refer/recommend any document on query merging? I am working on a database sever. The response time, of view's query has become a challange to me. I have tried everything, the last hope left is query merging.
But I didnt find any docs/papers/books on it.
Plz help.
Shigs.
=============================
Are there those,
In this world of brave,
Who can tell me,
How should I behave,
When I am disgraced.
=============================
I have this database running (ignore that that was done in Access, this is being made in Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
What I need to do is if you look at the tbl_events table and the tbl_timekeeperDetails table I need to make a query that:
Lists the names of all timekeepers (whether they are booked for a meeting or not), and the meetings at which they are timekeeping.
The tricky part of this is getting the query to show the timekeepers who aren't assigned to an event.
I have two seperate querys so far, but I'm presuming there must be a way of merging them or something.
I have this code so far: select timekeeperTitle,timekeeperNameFirst,timekeeperNameLast,eventID from timekeeperDetails,events where timekeeperDetails.timekeeperID = events.timekeeperID select timekeeperTitle,timekeeperNameFirst,timekeeperNameLast from timekeeperDetails
If anyone has any ideas, please do post a reply or email me at paul [at] abscond [dot] org
This SQL query has been driving me nuts, I am sure there is a simpleway of doing this but I am afraid it is eluding me at the moment.I have two tables:Table1X Y----------- -----------1 122 416 149 12Table2X Y----------- -----------1 102 123 125 126 32What I am after is a list of the maximum Y values for each value of Xfrom the tables:X Y----------- -----------1 122 413 125 126 329 12Any help would be greatly appreciatedThanks - Jim
I have this database running (ignore that the ERD below was done in Access, this is being made in Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
What I need to do is if you look at the users table and the orderContents table I need to make a query that:
Collects the users' names and any products they have bought (preferably shown by title not ID) as well as still showing the users that have not ordered any products.
I get the feeling there's a left join involved, but can't quite see how to do it.
Hello,I have a Database in a SQL Server 2000 where I have different userstables with equal fields like this:id (int)email (varchar)name (varchar)address (varchar)joinedon (datetime)I want to merge all the tables in one taking rows with the same emailbut taking always the more recent fields based on the 'joinedon' field.So if I have this four different rows:Tbl email name address joinedon--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------T1 Join Bytes! johnathan NULL 01/01/95T2 Join Bytes! NULL barcelona street 01/01/98T3 Join Bytes! john valencia street 01/01/97T4 Join Bytes! john Q NULL 01/01/99And the final row entered in the new table would beTbl email name address joinedon----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------new Join Bytes! john Q barcelona street 01/01/99I am trying doing his with union statements, but i am not getting thereal merging of data. Any clue?Thanks for your help.
how can I fill a data set with a multi parameter filter:
I want to create in my form few textboxes and create a query that filters the dataset to show only the specific data. but the problem is if the user doesn't supply any words in some textbox the dataset is not filled.
it would be a good solution for me if I can either: for example let's say my query is SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = @parameter, i want to write before the query something like "if @parameter="" then replace the query syntax near WHERE with * so it looks SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = *. or: if there is some character or character series that sql reconizes in a parameter as an asterisk.

Hi Gurus, I have a Dataflow Task which has an OLE DB Source calling a SP with parameters (?, ?). Then this OLE DB Source is conencted to a Lookup Transform which also calls a SP but on a different database. I am unable to figure out how to pass parameters in a Look up Transform. In the 'Use Results of an SQL Query' pane of Lookup Transform:
Code SnippetEXEC GetMonthlyDataExtract 4, 2007
( I am passing month and year values) this works ok.
But when I chage to
Code SnippetEXEC GetMonthlyDataExtract ?, ?
It says EXEC not supported. Also I can not figure out how to configure parameters since 'Reference Table' Tab of the Lookup Transform does not have any option where we can attach variables to parameters. Also I am interested to map parameters to variables not to input columns. If mention if that is not possible or any other alternative.
So this has got to be considered a major, major flaw in how SSRS interacts with Oracle. I'm using the "Oracle" data provider, but I've also tried using Microsoft's OLE DB data source, and some others, and in no case does SSRS hand off to Oracle a query that does NOT have bind variables. In other words, typically query parameters get passed off to Oracle as bind variables.
The incredibly major problem that this causes is that it disallows Oracle's use of star transformation queries which is the primary method by which to get fast responses to a data warehouse/star schema, in fact a prime authority on this subject (Bert Scalzo, Oracle DBA Guide to Data Warehouse and Star Schemas, p.86 -- obvioulsy not using Oracle 7x was the first) lists it as in effect the #1 consideration.
So what gives? In effect SSRS cannot be used against large scale Oracle data warehouses? I've had success with Business Objects being able to access Oracle star transformations.
So a guess my question is how the heck can use SSRS in a big, Oracle-based data warehouse?
For star_transformation join plans, the following parameters must also be considered: ... No BIND VARIABLE in SELECT statement
http://www.orafaq.com/usenet/comp.databases.oracle.server/2003/09/28/2305.htm Star transformation is not supported for tables with any of the following characteristics: * Queries that contain bind variables
My first post here. I have an Analysis Services Cube and I need to export some of its data into a flat file (a semicolon separated value file) with fixed length columns.
What I have in Integration Services now is:
DataReader Source (ADO.Net conection) Data Transformation (NTEXT -> WSTR) Derived Column (WSTR -> STR, and some ISNULL validation) Flat File Destination (Delimited by ";")
the thing is I have all the measures and calculated measures in the cube formated with format strings and they work fine when I do a query through the SQL server Managment Studio, but in Integration Services before the columns are written into the file they lose its format.
for example, I have a calculated member called "Deuda Total Nacional" that returns something like this +0001234,00 and I need to take off the decimal separator so it is written into the file like this +000123400 , I'm doing it this way
(ISNULL([Deuda Total Nacional]) ? "+00000000000" : REPLACE([Deuda Total Nacional],",",""))
In my package I am using lookup to get new and similar record. I want to filter the rows for Lookup Reference Data Set by using Variable Value.
I have created variable @[User::CustId] with Int32 datatype, having default value 2 when I am trying to evaluate below query I am getting error
"select CustId,PartNm,LocId,LocTyp from loc where CustId= "+ @[User::CustId]
Error. The Data types "DT_WSTR" and "DT_I4" are incompatible for binary operator "+".
The operand types could not be implicitly cast into compatible types for the operation. To perform this operation , one or both operands need to be explicitly cast with the operator.
hi there, I have never use DTS before, now I am reading textbook for some special demand with DTS the textbook not talk very much for the detail of skills. seems the easy way to finish this query is using DTS wizard. but my requirement seems can't be done by DTS wizard. here are my requirement below. [move online Database to offline Database ] 1. the time of data preserve will have to reference separate firm's history data backup time ( for example, A company used to preserve data 6 months, and B company used to preserve data 12 months and so on..) 2. we will have only 2 kind of preserve time one is 6 months another is 12 months 3. The online DB only keeps 6 months data ( for example, when we do the DTS on 11/1 , we will only keep the data which from 5/1~10/31) , all data have to move to off-line DB except the past 6 months data 4. We will have to reference the history data preserve time to delete data after finished data movement those requirement looks very diffcult for me because I have never use DTS before , can you please give me a simple example or maybe some article I can reference?

ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1 FROM testsupplierSCNCR I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?

I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page. Entered some test variables, everything works as it should do. Try to get it to show in a datagrid on a webpage - nothing. No data shows.

However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

We have a issue with a MDS server that have been over us for a couple of days, the original error msg from SQL Server Engine is the one "The query processor could not produce a query plan" but the ones we get on the Excel-Addin are "Sequece contains no elements" or "The value cannot be null" T
• Using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3393.0 (X64) for 6months on this server without issues
• Two weeks ago we started to have 2 errors: "Sequence Contains No Elements" | "The Value Cannot Be Null"
• We are using the last version of Excel Add-in
• We try to reinstall the MDS feature
• If I backup/restore MDS database to other server it works
• We updated to SQL 2012 SP2 + CU4 but the error persisted ...
Looking at the MDSTraceLog we are routed to the this msg

how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!! -- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on go if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1 if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name FROM... WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
