I'm written a query to pull adjustments made on customer accounts, and I am attempting to pull in the payment associated with the adjustments. I'm using a single account to test my query and somewhere in my final output select statement I'm doing something that is bringing me back more records than I want. The code I have written is:
IF OBJECT_ID('TEMPDB..#TMP1O') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TMP1O
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
I have a table holding transaction data: money owed / money paid. The vast majority link together, however, a small % do not. I need to apply money paid to money owed. I want to give the client the benefit of the doubt, while using some logic in the application of funds.
I know when the transactions occurred, so I decided to work from newest to oldest, applying available funds from any money paid that is newer than the money owed. When the process completes the look back for an account, there may be money paid left over. This is okay, as it could apply to money owed transactions prior to the look back period.
I have code in place to accomplish this. My problem is the amount of time the process takes to run. At the current pace, it will take well over a day to complete. Here is an example of what the data may look like for one account:
I'm trying to insert records into "holding" table and write back identity column value (Entry_Key) to the original table. So my setup is I have two tables; tblEWPBulk and tbleFormsUploadEWP. Users will enter records into tblEWPBulk and use BatchID to group records, once batch entry has been completed (usually less than 30 records) user will click on UploadAll button and insert records (not all fields) into tbleFormsUploadEWP. One record in tblEWPBulk can be sent multiple times to the holding table but tblEWPBulk will need to have latest Entry_Key captured. Records are sent from holding table to DB2 z/VSE using SQL stored procedure and based on certain logic records are marked uploaded or certain error capture... that part works fine.
So for example I want to send
BatchID, AccountNumber, Period, ReceiveDate, AccountType, ReturnType, NetProfitOrLoss, TaxCredit FROM tblEWPBulk to the holding table and write back Entry_Key (identity column) back to the record in tblEWPBulk (field called UploadEntryKey). As I said one record could be sent to the holding table multiple times until uploaded or deleted and UploadEntryKey always needs to be updated so that when results are processed response from the DB2 can be inserted into table and presented to the user.
No foreign key relationship exists since records in the holding table get sent to the archive table and table is truncated and entry_key starting value reset back to 2000... just some DB2 restrictions.
I have a table with 1 million records. I want to update only 400 records. The update statement is provided by a 3rd party vendor. Once i run the update statement it will update all the 400 records. Once the table is updated the users will validate the table
if the update is successful or not. What i'm looking for is:
1) Is there a way to identify what records were updated. 2) If the update done is not what the users wanted i need to undo and bring back the 400 records to their previous values.
I have reporting service 2000 . it has started to make queries to database (my datasource), those queries are NOT my report server queries ..i do not know why its querying database for no reason :-(
Most of the installation went well. I got to the point of attaching the source database, but had problems attching the warehouse database:
Database 'REAL_Warehouse_Sample_V6' cannot be started in this edition of SQL Server because it contains a partition function 'pf_Range_Fact'. Only Enterprise edition of SQL Server supports partitioning.
I am running standard edition at mey development workstation, the only one we have running. I do not necessarily need to see partitioning working. But sounds like I will need to install Enterprise edition at my development computer to go down this path of discovery? Anyone been able to do otherwise?
Is there any way to get in and look at the stored procedures at least, or schemas?
Even after going back, it was not clear to me from the prerequisit list that Enterprise edition was required for this.
I've got a Derived Columns component as part of a data flow. On this I've set the error output for my columns to Redirect Row in all cases. I've set a data watcher on the error output and then ran the package.
There are several rows which I'm expecting to fail - about 3 of them. These fail but there are also another 697 which seem to have no problem. So I fixed one of the problem columns in the source data and then re-ran the package. I only updated one row in the source so this row no longer appeared in the error output, but neither did several hundred of the other rows.
Is it possible that the error output has been tripped for that one row but for some reason it sends several hundred more rows? The ids on these additional rows follow on from the erroneous row, and when I fix that row the rows following it no longer appear in the error output.
I am trying to bring in the result fo a query to a flat file. The source and destination connections are oK, the mapping is also correct. However I get the following error during execution:
[Flat File Destination [507]] Error: No column was specified to allow the component to advance through the file.
followed by this:
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Flat File Destination" (507) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC02020F0.
I have some bad data that i'm trying to do a workaround for. I have a comma delimited text file with a column which contains a few records that has, gasp, a comma in it. Thus creating an extra column and pushing out NULL values in an empty column that isn't recognized by my DTS package. Can i fix this?
And if I'm correct in my assumption that I can't, how do I import only the fields preceding the bad data field? When i attempt to do that, I get the following message
'Too many columns found in the current row; non white-spaced characters found after the last defined column's data.'
Blindman, you probably know exactly what to do, huh?
Supposing there are three Columns: Countries, Provinces and States.Then when the user enters “USA” for country, it will bring up a list of states, if they enter “Canada” for country, it will bring up a list of provinces, if they enter another country, it will not bring up any list?
I have a query similar to the following. The intent of this query is to retrieve the top 6 records meeting the specified criteria (LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status Start' OR LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status End' ) based on most recent dates. Please keep in mind that I expect to return up to 6 records for each unique LogProcessName. This could be thousands of different LogProcessNames with up to 6 records for each.
1) The table I am executing against currently is very large in size and thus takes a long time to execute against. It would seem there must be a more efficient query to get the results I am looking for? 2) CTE doesn't work on SQL 2000. I need a query that does. 3) I cannot modify the database itself in the process.
;WITH cte AS ( SELECT [LogProcessName], [LogBody], [LogDate], [LogGUID], row_number() OVER(PARTITION BY [LogProcessName] ORDER BY [LogDate] DESC) AS RN FROM [LOGTABLE] WHERE [LogTypeGUID] IN ( SELECT LogTypeGUID FROM LOGTYPE WHERE LogTypeName = 'Process Status Start' OR LogTypeName = 'Process Status End' ) ) SELECT * FROM cte WHERE RN = 1 OR RN = 2 OR RN = 3 OR RN = 4 OR RN = 5 OR RN = 6 ORDER BY [LogProcessName] DESC, [LogDate] DESC
Does anybody else have any idea that would yield the results that I am looking for and take into account items 1-3 above?
I have a simple update statement (see example below) that when runs, I expect to see the number of records updated in the Results tab. This information shows up in the Messages tab; however, what is displayed in the Results tab is (No column name) 40. From where the 40 is being generated. I have tried restarting SSMS 2012, restarting my computer, turning NOCOUNT on and off.
"UPDATE TableA SET Supervisor = 'A123' WHERE PersonnelNumber = 'B456'"
I Have read a few of the postings and I hate to beat a dead horse. But I am desperatly looking for your Help...
I am converting all of my Access Databases over to SQL server 2005. but the catch is that I need to keep Access as my front-end. One of the problems that I have faced (and there maybe more) but when it comes to running queries (especially Delete), I cannot seem to get things to work.
I would like to just store all of my data in SS2K5 and have all of my queries and forms run in Access.
Why is it that I am getting errors that do not seem to make sense (Access Error 3086) when I have opened up all of the permissions associated to my database?
Please let me know if anyone has any type of solution, or some place that I can go to that will help me understand this a little more.
Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

CREATE TABLE Person ( PersonID INT Name varchar(50), HireDate datetime, HireOrder int, AltOrder int )
Assume I have data like this
INSERT INTO Person VALUES(1, 'Rob', '06/02/1988', 0, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(2, 'Tom', '05/07/2016', 0, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(3, 'Phil', '01/04/2011', 1, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(4, 'Cris', '01/04/2011', 2, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(5, 'Jen', '01/04/2011', 3, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(6, 'Bill', '01/05/2011', 0, 0) INSERT INTO Person VALUES(7, 'Ray', '01/23/2012', 0, 0)
I'm trying to simplify my requirement... providing the input of HireDate, HireOrder, and AltOrder, I need to be able to pick up the next person
For ex:, if I provide input, HireDate: 06/02/1988, HireOrder:0, AltOrder:0, the return value expected is "Tom" because he is the next person after the provided input.
For ex:, if I provide input, HireDate: 05/07/2016, HireOrder:0, AltOrder:0, the return value expected is "Phil" because he is the next person after the provided input. Though Phil and Cris have same dates, their HireOrder takes precedence in this case. If they also have same HireOrder, AltOrder would be coming in picture to determine next person
Another ex: if I provide input, HireDate: 01/04/2011, HireOrder:1, AltOrder:0, the return value expected is "Cris" because she is the next person after the provided input. Here hireorder determines.
If I provide, HireDate: 01/23/2012, HireOrder:0, AltOrder:0, as there is no person after this, I should be able to pick the first person on the list - in this case Rob.
I can write some business logic in front-end, but I thought it would be good, if I can move this to a stored procedure which can return me the PersonID for optimal performance.
I have tried writing various conditions but couldn't achieve a query that meets all my requirements here.
I'm even fine if my last condition is not met (returning the first person in the list, in case no one is available after the provided input).
Currently I have a standard query with a join to several tables. There are two additional tables MAS_CTB and MAS_STB. I would like to do a union between those two tables to get FIELDVALUE which will exist in either the CTB table or the STB table and then have that value be returned with the results of the original query.
I can of course write a UNION from the main query to the CTB and then to the STB table, however it's about 80 dummy fields I would have to replicate in the union which is why I was wondering if there was a more simple way.
Main Query: SELECT Field1, Field2...Field80 From Table1 Join Table2
Union Portion: Select FieldValue <------ From MAS_CTB UNION Select FieldValue <-----Return to main query above From MAS_STB
Hello,I am hoping you can help me with the following problem; I need to process the following steps every couple of hours in order to keep our Sql 2000 database a small as possible (the transaction log is 5x bigger than the db).1.back-up the entire database2.truncate the log3.shrink the log4.back-up once again.As you may have determined, I am relatively new to managing a sql server database and while I have found multiple articles online about the topics I need to accomplish, I cannot find any actual examples that explain where I input the coded used to accomplish the above-mentioned steps. I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.
I'm taking a database(read-only) backup from one server and restoring it on other server. As soon as restore is done it is bringing database into single-user read-only mode.
why it is bringing the database into single user mode ?
I'm wondering how to print a SSRS report without bringing up a report viewer. Is there way to print(PDF format) the SSRS report in the web application( .net ) directly from the "print" button without bringing up a report viewer?
Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005 databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance with the daily activities when the night time processing isnt completed on time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also, it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended state. I am also not happy with the fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun. All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of years before I upgrade to SS 2005.
Hi, I got a problem. I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version. And I created a Compact database. I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form. then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me. After that, I used program to insert record into this table. Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records. I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right? Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
Hey Guys, I have a contacts table that contains ID, First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number, Date Entered, Changed. Every time, the data is modified and saved, it will insert a new record in the table. So, Ill create a new record for a contact named Ryan, and then come back a day later and update the last name and phone number. So theSQL table would look like...1 Ryan Scott 818-550-0000 05/08/2008 Null2 Ryan Peters 000-000-0000 05/09/2008 Null How do I write a sql query that will run an update after the insert of the second record to fill in the Changed field with the data that changed?So I want to have record 2, end up looking like this... 2 Ryan Peters 000-000-0000 05/09/2008 LastName,PhoneNumberAny ideas?

I want to have all the ethnicities from the Ethnicgroup table to be displayed in a particular area which is in where clause as aggcourseid
The problem is that even when I have a left join on the EthnicGroup table it will not return all the ethnicities but will only return those who were existing in that particular aggcourseid.
i.e. If there is no African student in E2, it will not show up in the result whereas I want to display all the ethnicities and if there is no record for aggcourseid, it should show up as 0/NULL for that ethnicity.
I have tried all sorts of joins but the problem is whenever I put in the aggcourseid in where clause, it wont bring all the records
