I know that a heterogeneous query joining tables from two different servers
has performance penalties but is the same true when joining tables from two
different databases on the same SQL Server 2000 instance?
We are looking at setting up a Data Warehouse using DTS on a SQL Server box
and I'm wondering about the best way to logically set it up; i.e. one big
honking db or several dbs determined by some logical organization. With the
latter there will still be some queries that would need data from more than
one db and I'm wondering if that will have worse performance than if they
were all in one db.
I thought that was the case in older versions of SS, but I couldn't find
anything in 2000's BOL that indicated a problem with that.
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
Hi All, I am very new to sql and I am not really sure of what I am doing.
I have a bit of a complicated stored procedure that I am trying out. There is 3 parts to it to search for new articles,updates and discontinued articles for a particular Supplier. Right now I am just trying to get the first part working - I am trying to query another database that has 4 tables, 2 are joined ActiveArticle & ActiveArticlePrice and the other 2 are also joined UpdateArticle & UpdateArticlePrice. But all tables also hold data for ALL Suppliers, they are recognised by a GUID - SupplierGuid.
I want to compare them to each other to see if there are any new articles added to the Update tables. This is what I have so far, I was hoping someone could tell me if they see some obvious mistakes(I'm sure theres many!). For the first select, I tried adding a couple of parameters Flag and Text to use so that I can order it all once i have the 3 parts working. But I don't know the syntax is right, because then I also want to select all fields in both tables?.
CREATE PROCEDURE Portal_GetPriceListUpdates (
@SupplierGUID uniqueidentifier ) AS
SELECT 'A' AS FLAG, 'New Product' AS TEXT, * FROM SupplierUnits.UpdateArticle UA, SupplierUnits.UpdateArticlePrice UAP WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM UA, UAP WHERE UA.SupplierGuid=@SupplierGUID AND UA.SupplierArticleNumber NOT IN (SELECT SupplierArticleNumber FROM SupplierUnits.ActiveArticle.SupplierArticleNumber))

How touse a select query with database name?Mani
Hey there! I'm not sure how to explain this but here goes... I'm a bit stuck, a new project that's come about "requires" me to query multiple databases as if they were tables. 1 Oracle database which stores information on our staff (this database is a part of some MIS software and can't be changed in any way) 1 SQL Server 2005 database which stores information on staff sickness Basically say theres 1 table in each database Oracle DB People
Person_Code Forename Surname SQL DB Sickness
Person_Code Daydate Lets say the query I want to perform is to select all the records from sickness where person code is 22334 and also get their name from the other db, so the output may look like 22334 Dann Rees 01/01/2007 22334 Dann Rees 03/01/2007 22334 Dann Rees 10/02/2007 Now I realise I can write a quick function to pull the information but this is just a basic example. Effectivley what I "need" is to be able to query sickness while sub querying people to get the names, or some kind of pass through query? Please remember this is just a very simple example and the "actual" queries will be far more complicated, for instance finding all the employees of a certain department who is male and was sick in January. All the data for that example is stored in people (oracle) except for the dates which is stores in sick (SQL 2005). Now these are easy enough if they were tables in 1 database....but their not, their tables in 2 databases, and theres nothing I can do to change that :( All help appreciated as this is becoming very urgent. Many thanks Dann (I couldnt post this in the General data access forum for some reason)
Hi,I need to run a query that gets an ID from one database table and then matches it to another table in a different database, is a query of this type possible if so how?Thanks,drazic19
My query pulls data from two separate databases, and it runs extremely slow. The queries run well when they are pulling from their own database. When I join them to pull from both databases.
Hello,I am quite new to ms-sql and I have a problem : I want to create an SQLrequest which would copy serveral records from a table in a given databaseto another table (with exactly the same structure) in another database(theses two tables and databases already exist).Could you please tell me how to do this ? I dont know how to access twodifferent databases in a single SQL request.Thank you for you help.
This is probably a simple solution but I'm a bit confused about which flows to use.
I have two databases on different servers that contain the same information but for the appropriate server. I want to retrieve data from each of the servers using a "select" statement.
Would I use a ForLoop and change the connection in a Script Task and then execute the SQL statement? Or can a ForEach Loop be used, but I'm not sure which type of enumerator.
Hi;I am looking for suggestions about how to solve a problem using tsql.I have been asked to create a report concerning 4 tables.Each of the 4 tables is in its own database.The 4 tables are identical in name and structure.I would like to query all 4 of these tables and get the results as ifthey were one table.All suggestions welcome, thanks.Steve
I've been digging for a while to try to find something, even had a consultant looking for me, but came up empty haned.
What I want to do is this:
I activated the Security Audit level for all logins. I want to be able to report last login date for every user from the log, and all login events for SA or any other defined super users.
Is it possible to Query the SQL Server Logs to report this information?
This is for proposed Sarbox Database Security settings.
I am remotely logging onto a MS SQL 6.0 server using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin. When I try to query against the table on this server I get the following error message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: The data source can not be used, because it DBMS version is less than 6.5.0.]
I know that 6.0 doesn't support OLEDB but shouldn't 7.0 be able to access this using odbc. Do I need to do anything other than set up the dsn on odbc.
Any feedback on this would be great. Cheers, bhanly@apcc.com
How do I specify the Catalogue while querying a linked server?
For exmaple, I have a remote SQL 2000 server as a linked server on my server. I will refer to it as "ServerRemote." I was given access to that server through my Active Directory Domain account and the catalogue 'master' was set as my default database.
Aside from having the admin change my default database, is there a way to query a linked server and specify the catalogue in the query?
Right now I use the following code to query the default catalogue for the linked server: SELECT * FROM ServerRemote...ViewName
I've tried various queryies for a different catalogue but always get a table not found error:
SELECT * FROM ServerRemote..DatabaseName.ViewName or SELECT * FROM ServerRemote.DatabaseName..ViewName or SELECT * FROM ServerRemote.DatabaseName.ViewName all return errors
When I try querying the xml document in SQL, I get nothing back, unless I remove the schema information. I'm using this:

I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. Theapplication in question executes the folloiwing query against thedatabase:select * from employee where emp_id = 760In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server2k the following error is returned:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error convertingthe varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understandthat this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not wantto have to trawl through the application and surround all instanceswith apostrophes.Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will Ihave to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.Thanks for any help.John
Can I run queries against a SQL DB that is running on SQL Server 2005 Enterprise from the Express edition? I just need to get the info in a table. I have been told I have windows authentication to the DB, but the DB does not show up in my Express' list of networked severs.
Your help is appreciated. I have only worked with MySQL so this is all new to me.
The stored procedure executes successfully and I can also succesfully DROP the linked server. However when I try to query tables in linked databases using:
SELECT * FROM DB_INTRANET...Employees
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "DB_Intranet" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
The logins are Windows Authentication and even if I use sp_addlinkedsrvlogin to map logins it still gives me the same error.
I have no problems linking and querying linked Access Databases but can't do it for the SQL Server DBs.
We have this query that pulls number of days worked from the current Quarter to Date.
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT daysworked) AS 'Days Worked' FROM (SELECT CAST(DATEPART(MM, DATEADD(HOUR, -8, ActualEnd)) AS VARCHAR) + '/' + CAST(DATEPART(DD, DATEADD(HOUR, -8, ActualEnd)) AS VARCHAR) + '/' + CAST(DATEPART(YYYY, DATEADD(HOUR, -8,ActualEnd)) AS VARCHAR) AS daysworked, ActivityId AS totalcalls FROM PhoneCall AS p WHERE (DATEPART(QUARTER, DATEADD(HOUR, - 8, ActualEnd)) = DATEPART(QUARTER, DATEADD(QUARTER, -1, GETDATE()))) AND (DATEPART(YEAR, DATEADD(HOUR, - 8, ActualEnd)) = DATEPART(YEAR, DATEADD(QUARTER, -1, GETDATE()))) AND (OwnerId = x.SystemUserId)) AS tb) AS [Days Worked],
I need changing it to bring up LAST Quarter's data.
I was wondering if it is possible to continuously query a real-timedatastream using SQL Server. Does anyone have any experience of this? Ihave found LINUX based systems such as Borealis and STREAM. I wouldprefer to use a Windows based system as the program using the queryresults is Windows based.
Does anyone know of any good references (books or web sites) that provide examples of querying AD from SQL Server? I have the database link setup and have done two very simple queries against AD but I would like to see more in-depth examples.

HI, I'm trying to implement a site search. The only problem is that some of the pages have more than 8000 characters (like the press release pages) so I had to use the TEXT datatype (sql server 2000). I wrote a simple stored procedure to query the column, however it does not return any results. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is the TEXT datatype. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Code below: CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SiteSearch @keyword text
AS
SELECT PageText FROM tbl_Pages WHERE PageText LIKE '%@keyword%' GO

I have a table (we will cal DateTable) with several (20) columns, each being a date type. Another table's (Project) PK is referenced in the DateTable.
I am trying to write a query that will pull all dates for a specific project from the DateTable if they meet certain criteria(i.e. if the date is <= 7 days from now.
I started with a normal select statement selecting each column with a join to the project and then a where clause using
(DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()) OR (DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE())) ...
The rest of the columns(all with OR between them).
The problem with this is that because I am using OR once one of the dates meets the criteria it selects all the dates that are associated with the project. I ONLY want the dates that meet the criteria and don't care about the rest.
Obviously because I have all the columns in the select statement... So I need something like
Select ALL Columns from DateTable d Join Project p where p.ProjectID = d.ProjectID AND only dates BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()))
I'm working on a query in which I need to get few nodes values from the XML data by using the value from SQL column (MessageContentType) in this query. I'm able to get the nodes value when i hard code the value in the query but the problem is MessageContentType will vary from some records in the table, due to that I'm not getting the corresponding node values. I have tried few ways to get this value dynamically but I'm missing something.
Sample Table Data MessageContentType | BodySegment xx:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF | <ns0:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF xmlns:ns0="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X">.....
Current Query - HardCode Script

When i tried the below line of script, I'm getting this error "[color=#FF0000]The argument 1 of the XMLdata type method "value" must be a string literal.[/color]"
Concat MsgContentType Column BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /'+MsgContentType+'[1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
To overcome that error i used sql column but I'm getting this error [color=#FF0000]XQuery [S.bodysegment.value()]: Syntax error near '[', expected a "node test"[/color].
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /[sql:column("MsgContentType")][1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
I tried this line of script, i didn't get any error by timespan is coming as null, I do hope this script not pointing the correct node to traverse the sibling node.

I created an Image for the Database in sqlserver 2000. When I am querying directly the database as "Select * from employee", it is returning the result set.
But, when I am querying Database image with same query. It is giving error
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'Employee'
It is expecting the Database Owner. If I do query like "Select * from [Owner].employee", it is working fine.
My requirement is not use owner in queries, it should be simple query ("Select * from employee").
Can any one, help me out. Thanks in advance. Bhupesh
Is there any way to deploy reports to a Report Manager in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 if the reports query SQL Server 2000 databases? Or are only 2005 databases able to deploy to the web?
Also, if I have a report that queries both, can I deploy it to the web on the 2005 Report Manager with a linked server to the 2000 server?
