I'm fairly new to SQL and am just setting up a Windows 8 app using an Azure SQL server. The issue I have is looking up a part number supersession and getting the latest number. One part number can have multiple supersessions (ie RTC5756 > STC8572 > STC3765 > STC9150 > STC9191 > SFP500160 ).The data I am supplied monthly has both the superseeded items and the supersession information in both columns and is not easy to decipher - for example:
The newest part number is kept in a separate table - called "source" - which in this instance is SFP500160. I need access to the latest part number but also to the part's previous numbers, due to the fact that some people may still be stocking them as an old part number and for them to search by. Is there an easy and efficient way of doing both a lookup for the supersessions and a join on the two tables to minimize the queries on the database?
There are 3 tables Property , PropertyExternalReference , PropertyAssesmentValuation which are common for 60 business rule
SELECT   PE.PropertyExternalReferenceValue  [BAReferenceNumber] , PA.DescriptionCode   [PSDCode] , PV.ValuationEffectiveDate   [EffectiveDate] , PV.PropertyListAlterationDate   [ListAlterationDate]
[code]....
Can we push the data for the above query in a physical table and create index to make the query fast rather than using the same set  tables multiple timesÂ
Hi, We are building an application for online system for people to place ADs for selling various used items like Car, Electronics, Houses, Books etc. If someone selling a car then he can fill out headline, year, make, model, mileage, transmission, condition, color, price, description, contact etc. Similarly if someone selling a digital camera he will fillout headline, memory, zoom, megapixel, maker, model, color, batter, description etc. Option 1: I can have a main table to hold the common attributes of all different types of ADs (headline, images, contact, price, color, condition, description) + 1 table to store string values of all ADs (car: maker, model, square feet (if house), memory, megapixel (camera) etc) + 1 table to store the droplist select values(car: transmission, door, seat etc; house: year_built) pros: single table for all ADs. unique IDs for all ADs, easy to extend as new attributes can be dropped easily. cons: lot of physical reads of 2nd and 3rd table from join. 10 times physical reads compared to option 2 when reading 5000 records. Option 2: have different set of table for each AD type. Car will have its own main table + 1 table to store multiselect list box values. Similarly housing will have its own set of tables pros: 10% less physical read than option 1. cons: hard to add new attributes. We have to modify the main table by adding one column. Query will go to different table based on the category. Do you have any suggestions on which way to go?Thanks
I'm trying to update a checkbox from "False" to "True" within a single table for multiple records. I can update a single record using the script below. However, I'm having trouble applying additional Id's to the string.
(Works) - Update Name_Demo set KEY_CONTACT = 'true' where ID = 225249
(doesn't work) - Update Name_Demo set KEY_CONTACT = 'true' where ID = '225249, 210014, 216543'
It says query executes successfully but returned no rows.
Let's say I have 4 columns coming from my OLE DB source.
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
I also have a table that I'll be using in a lookup, LUPTable. In LUPTable, I have two fields, LUPField, ReplaceField.
In my data flow, I need to take columns, 2-4, and look them up against LUPField in LUPTable. I then need to add the value of ReplaceField (when a match is found) into the data flow.
The problem that I'm running into is that I don't want to sequentially do the lookups in the dataflow, because that's just a waste of time/memory. I only need to build the in-memory lookup table once, because that exact same data (it is static, for the most part) will be used for the remaining lookups.
What is the best way to achieve this?
The goal is to have the following columns remaining in the dataflow: Column1 NewColumn2 (containing value from ReplaceField) NewColumn3 (containing value from ReplaceField) NewColumn4 (containing value from ReplaceField) Column2-4 can be dropped from the dataflow after the lookups.
Hello Everybody, If any one have solution then please help me. Thanks in Advance. I do the following steps:
I have created two publications on my SQL SERVER for merge replication Publication A €“ which returns all rows from the Table1 Publication B €“ which returns all rows from the Table1 where the field MANAGER =€™ABC€™ I have two clients who have MSDE Client 1 is subscribed to Publication A and Client 2 is subscribed to Publication B All works fine till now and I am able to make transfers from the two clients and get all the changed data However, now If I change the filter rules for Publication B and set that it should return all rows from the Table1 where the field MANAGER = €˜DEF€™ , SQL Server tells me that I have to reinitialize all snapshots for all subscriptions. If I don€™t do this it doesn€™t allow me to make a transfer from my Client 1. As you can see in my example I have not made any changes to Publication A to which Client 1 is subscribed. So this seems to be illogical. In our case it would not be possible for us to reinitialize the subscriptions for all Publications when the rules for only one Publication are changed because we may have a lot of clients connected to our Server and if we reinitialize the subscription then all the data is sent again. If anybody know that how to restrict the other publications re-initialization then please tell me how we can do.
To anyone that is able to help....What I am trying to do is this. I have two tables (Orders, andOrderDetails), and my question is on the order details. I would liketo set up a stored procedure that essentially inserts in the orderstable the mail order, and then insert multiple orderdetails within thesame transaction. I also need to do this via SQL 2000. Right now ihave "x" amount of variables for all columns in my orders tables, andall Columns in my Order Details table. I.e. @OColumn1, @OColumn2,@OColumn3, @ODColumn1, @ODColumn2, etc... I would like to create astored procedure to insert into Orders, and have that call anotherstored procedure to insert all the Order details associated with thatorder. The only way I can think of doing it is for the program to passme a string of data per column for order details, and parse the stringvia T-SQL. I would like to get away from the String format, and gowith something else. If possible I would like the application tosubmit a single value per variable multiple times. If I do it this waythough it will be running the entire SP again, and again. Anysuggestions on the best way to solve this would be greatlyappreciated. If anyone can come up with a better way feel free. Myonly requirement is that it be done in SQL.Thank you
I have 3 tables with the follwing schema Table <Category> {
UniqueID, LastDate DateTime }
Assume the follwing tables with data following the above schema
Table Cat1 {
1, D1 2, D2 3, D3 } Table Cat2 {
2, D4 3,D5 4, D6 } Table Cat3 {
1, D7 3,D8 5,D9 }
I have a Master and the schema is as follows Table master {
UniqueId, Cat1 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat2 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat3 DateTime -- This is same as the Table name }
After inserting the data from all these 3 tables, I want the my master table to look like this Table Master {
How to import multiple text files (residing in single folder) into SQL Server table? I know how to import single file but not sure how multiple files could be loaded? Pls. guide.
I have resulting rows from a query similar to the following:
The data is coming from a single table that contains only one coverage code column and one coverage code date, but the end user wants the two coverage code types and dates combined into a single row. So the SELECT looks something like this:
SELECT [Employee ID] = emp.employee_id, [Coverage Code 1] = enr.coverage_code, [Coverage Date 1] = enr.coverage_date, [Coverage Code 2] = case when enr.product_type = 'Accident.Accident' then enr.coverage_code else NULL end,
[Code] ....
I basically want to merge the like Employee ID's together into a single row like the following:
I know I have done this before and it is probably pretty simple.
I have multiple databases in the server and all my databases have tables: stdVersions, stdChangeLog. The stdVersions table have field called DatabaseVersion which stored the version of the database. The stdChangeLog table have a field called ChangedOn which stored the date of any change made in the database.
I need to write a query/stored procedure/function that will return all the database names, version and the date changed on. The results should look something like this:
We have control table which will be useful whether we need to start the job or not. If we are starting the Job we will make it to 1.
Below is the Table Structure.
Table Name    IN_USE_FG CUST_D           0 PROD_D           0 GEO_D            0 DATE_D           0
Now we have different packages for 4 tables data loading. These 4 packages will start at a time. Before going to load the data we have to make the Flag to 1 and after that we have to load it. Because of this we have written Update statement to update the Value to 1 in respective Package.Â
Now we are getting dead lock because we are using same table at a same time. Because we are updating different records.Â
I set up a connection to mysql using ADO.NET's ODBC Data Provider. And I'm running a simple query to return one table's maximum ID(int32 unsigned).But when I bind the result to a variable and excute task. It gives out error message: "An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "MaxAuditLogID": "Result binding by name "MaxID" is not supported for this connection type. " I tried to change the type of variable around but with no luck. Â
i just can't find a way to perform this Select Query in my ASP.Net page.

I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

I have created a trigger that is set off every time a new item has been added to TableA.The trigger then inserts 4 rows into TableB that contains two columns (item, task type).
Each row will have the same item, but with a different task type.ie.

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)
