Hi,
Is there an easy way to determine the rate of change for table? I realize
that I could do periodic select count(*) from XXX, but that would only
determine the size of the table. It would ignore updates.
What I'd really like to do would be able to determine the number of non-read
operations over a table so that I can determine the rate of change for that
table.
Thanks for any help..
Hi All,
I would like to print out a dataflow's tarnsfer rate (row/sec) to the output window and refresh it in each 5. second. Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

I have a SQL Server hosted on a Win2003 server. I have a monitor on the server letting me know the average download speeds. When I do a large select from a remote connection, it looks like the download rate maxes out at around 10 kb/sec.
Is this an average download rate for a server hosting sql server?
Hi,
I have this specific problem, that has been causing me alot of headaches for the last couple of days, and I can't seem to fiure it out on my own.
Basically i am working on a many to one currency conversion setup, where I have a fact table with exchange rates for periods and for all input currencies. The reporting currency is USD. Here is a demonstration of the data in it:
Valid Date Source Currency Rate
2008-01-01 GBP 2.0563
2008-01-01 EUR 1.4634
2008-04-01 GBP 1.9968
2008-04-01 EUR 1.5197
Normal period by period conversion is easy enough, but I want to convert the measures at the latest known rate, based on the period selected. Lets say I run an analysis without slicing on time, then it want it to convert at the last entered rate of all time, and if the user wants to run the analysis as of March 08, then it should convert all data to the rate as of January, since this is the latest one known.
I have tried to set the measure to a semi-additive behaviour, with "lastnonempty", but the problem with that is the conversion over time. Here is an example:
I want to show a measure summed "all to date" as of June 08. What I want is it to convert everything at the rates entered in April 08, but what I get is that it convert everything up until Jan 08 and the rates entered in January, and thereafter it starts to use the rated entered in April.
Period Amount LCY Currency Code Exchange Rate
Dec 07 100 GBP 2.0563 (Wrong, should be 1.9968)
Dec 07 100 EUR 1.4634 (Wrong, should be 1.5197)
Jan 08 100 GBP 2.0563 (Wrong, should be 1.9968)
Jan 08 100 EUR 1.4634 (Wrong, should be 1.5197)
Feb 08 100 GBP 1.9968
Feb 08 100 EUR 1.5197
Mar 08 100 GBP 1.9968
Mar 08 100 EUR 1.5197
Apr 08 100 GBP 1.9968
Apr 08 100 EUR 1.5197
May 08 100 GBP 1.9968
May 08 100 EUR 1.5197
Jun 08 100 GBP 1.9968
Jun 08 100 EUR 1.5197
How do I create a measure containing the latest known rates based on time selection?
Thanks in advance
I have attached some test data for you that has two temp tables "#worker" and "#worker_rate".
The issue is to find all workers who are sharing SAME SET of rate_codes.
I'm able to get the output as "workers sharing same rate_codes", but unfortunately I could not get the list of workers sharing same SET of rate_codes. Also definition of SAME SET is not defined.
I don't know what I'm missing.
I have a task to provide users with a list of currency rates in the following format:
Base Currency
Hedged Currency
Base to Hedge Rate
Hedged to Base Rate
E.g.
"Base Currency"..."Hedged Currency"..."Base to Hedge Rate"..."Hedged to Base Rate"
GBP....................USD.......................1.70.........................0.59
GBP....................EUR.......................1.25..........................0.80
(the dots are for the visual only)
The table I have been provided in SQL has the following structure:
Currency Code
Currency Rate (Rate against the Base Currency)
Base Currency (BIT to recognise which currency is the base one as it can vary from site to site. Only once currency can be Base per a given site)
I have started to implement, but ended up with cursor and temporary table, where I insert the data.
I have this query to select the highest currency rate from a currency table:
SELECT
Target_currency AS [Currency]
,rate_exchange AS [Rate]
,date_L AS [Date]
FROM
rates
WHERE
target_currency IN ('USD','GBP','JPY')
ORDER BY
target_currency desc
,date_L desc
My output is something like this:
CurrencyRateDate
USD 1,13572015-06-20 00:00:00.000
USD 1,37952014-03-31 00:00:00.000
USD 1,28352014-03-24 00:00:00.000
USD 1,28522013-04-05 00:00:00.000
JPY142,37552014-03-31 00:00:00.000
JPY1202014-03-24 00:00:00.000
JPY119,32013-04-05 00:00:00.000
GBP 0,82872014-03-31 00:00:00.000
GBP 0,08482014-03-24 00:00:00.000
GBP 0,084392013-04-05 00:00:00.000
How can I get the top 3 of the most recent rates from every rate in the WHERE filtering?
So:
USD 1,13572015-06-20 00:00:00.000
JPY142,37552014-03-31 00:00:00.000
GBP 0,82872014-03-31 00:00:00.000
I have tried many solutions, but I can't get it to work.
I would like a single SQL to return all employee's total billablecompensation for a year. Their billable rates change throughout the year sounder the employee table (one), there is a compensation table (to many)which has the employee id, effective date, billable hourly rate. So in agiven year calendar year they could have many different (though usually 2 atmost) rates. These rates then have to correspond to and e multiplied bytheir corresponding billable hours from the time sheet table.I know I could create a series of UNIONs and hard code the effective dates,i.e.select from time sheets where employee=john and timesheet.task_date betweenjan 1 and jun 1, compensation.billable rate * timesheet.billable hoursUNIONselect from time sheets where employee=john timesheet.task_date between jun1 and dec 31 compensation.billable_rate * timesheet.billable_hoursI'd have to do that for every employee in a very large SQL.Is there an easier way using straight SQL? If not could it be done with astored procedure?Thanks for any insight.

I setup data collection on a production server to capture growth rates.
When I run the dis usage report, it shows a daily growth rate of over 500 megs. This seems excessive to me.
As a troubleshooting step I then ran sp_space used and got these results:
database_namedatabase_sizeunallocated space
rgc_prod 273442.63 MB3648.48 MB
reserved data index_size unused
265345488 KB164385384 KB99826072 KB1134032 KB
What should my next steps be to try and determine why there is so much growth? And isn't the index size rather large?
I'm trying to find a way to import data from this data xml feed to get daily exchange rate. I' tried:
select *
from
openrowset(bulk 'http://www.bankofcanada.ca/stats/assets/xml/fx-noon.xml',single_blob) as x
Which is a feeble attempt at a start; however, am getting this error message:
Cannot bulk load because the file "http://www.bankofcanada.ca/stats/assets/xml/fx-noon.xml" could not be opened. Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.).
How to parse this file using SQL.
I have created a spreadsheet using powerquery and powerpivot. Loading the data on powerquery from different spreadsheets was a charm, the problem is calculating the exchange rates per month.The structure is as following:I have 3 tables, they are:
Dates– Just a dates (loaded directly on PowerPivot).
Invoice – Details of invoices for all customers, gross totals are in different rates (loaded through power query)
Customer – Detailed information of customers (loaded directly on PowerPivot).
Currency – exchange rates (loaded directly on PowerPivot).
Note: I mentioned where they were loaded because I do not know if that really matters, I guess it does not... but extra information will not hurt. Now, let's go to how these tables are connected between each other and their key columns.The Invoice table has information on invoices dates, invoice gross total and customer code. This table is related to Customer table, which has the actual name of customers and other details. This link is done through the Customer Code column. The Currency table have a relationship with the Customer Table through the Country Column.
What I want to achieve is a formula to do the exchange rate based on the Invoice Date column present on the Invoice Table. So I have created a column on the Currency Table named at each month of the year and populated it with the exchange rates for all countries (countries listed using ISO3 format).My problem is while I am able to select a column from the Currency table to do the exchange rate calculation using the below formula, I fail to realize how to do it per month:=CALCULATE(sum(invoice[Gross Value])*SUM(Currency[Reverse]))*Reverse is the column with the exchange rate for the country money to USD.What I am failing to do is how to make that calculation to also consider the month of the invoice and pull the exchange rate for the same month from the Currency table
Get the invoice date then find the column on Currency[Month] and multiply, providing me the USD amount.I was unable to figure out a solution using the filters parameters from Calculate. If some of you ask why I am using SUM inside Calculate, is because if I only use SUM and try to do the math between the two tables I get an error saying that it was not possible to determine the value on Currency[Reverse]. Same happens with SUMX. It worked out with Calculate, but then I cannot create other formulas using CALCULATE on that table because it will give that error on redundancy, unless I add a filter on it, which worked last time (but I do not remember which thing /parameter used to filter, so do not ask it right now.I do not really need that level of accuracy, but my Virgo perfectionist side demands me to find a solution to that, that will not use a single exchange rate, but consider which is the correct exchange rate for the month of the invoice and calculate it correctly for all invoices. Just so you know, the Invoices tables has more than 1million lines.
I am trying to build a query which will be used in an automated report to calculate failure rates of systems based on cases opened through support. Here is where I am stuck. Some systems may have multiple cases opened within the same span of another cases however we would consider this one failure:
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase22013-07-12 16:27:50.0002013-07-12 16:29:12.000
System ACase32013-07-12 17:30:32.0002013-07-12 17:40:11.000
System ACase42013-07-12 19:00:24.0002013-07-12 19:04:14.000
System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
Lets say System A generated those 5 cases however Case 2,3 and 4 all happened within the same period as Case 1 so those 4 cases should count as one failure so my end result should be
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
And that system should show me 2 failures. I was thinking of using a temp table but not sure if that is possible as I am stumped on how to compare the dates to be able to validate if they fall within the range of an older case and whether or not to include them into the new Temp Table.
Trying to determine what the minimum permissions i can grant to a user so they can see the change tracking data
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe ran into weird/interesting issue with below details.
Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64) Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script
step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements
step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
can you change the dbo after you've already made the database?

When I try to execute a query and after 30 seconds the program sends me error :
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Exception Detail: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Source error:

Line 551 myDataSet = db.ExecuteDataSet(System.Data.CommanType.Text,NewSql) <== Error line
Line 552 i=myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Count
In my connection string I set the parameter "Connection Timeout" = 360 but it not works. ( In debug mode the value for db.GetConnection.ConnectionTimeout is the same(360) like the parameter timeout connection.
After many searchs I found the default value for CommandTimeout is 30 secs. Can I change this value ?
Any suggestion will be welcome.

hi,
I just imported my access database into sql server 2000 and apparently during this importation the owner was set to my name. This gives my a problem retrieving the data in asp.net though. I found out that the problem (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'tablename') is situated at this ownership by stripping the query to a bare minimum and trying it on a new table created in sql server with dbo as the owner.
My problem now is that I can't seem to find the way to change the owner to dbo from 'peterj'. Can you help me on this one ??

I have a few ASPs that were written to pull from an Access 97 database. Now that we have converted the data over to a SQL database, the ASPs have been changed accordingly. My problem is that I have two ASPs which use an Inner Join between three tables where the main field (in this case it is called "INDEX") is what the pull is based on. When I try to run the ASPs I recieve this error .
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INDEX'.
The line that it identifies is where the connection is actually opened.
This is only occuring on the ASPs that use the column INDEX and an inner join. The straight style number pulls (which have the same connection string)
are working fine. Any ideas?

We need to test a DTS package provided by a vendor. The DTS package imports data from flat files to a database. However, when I go in and change the DTS connection object for the database, it drops the data transformation properties. When I look at the properties it automatically points to the first (alphabetically speaking) table of our database. There is no way for me to verify that the mapping I am creating for these tables is accurate (and matches what the vendor had originally set). I am new to MS SQL and haven't found the answer ... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
