My goal is to recreate a table daily so that the data is updated. This could be a bad decision performance-wise, but I felt this was simpler than running a daily update statement. I created a stored procedure:SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CreatetblImprintPhrase
AS
DROP TABLE tblImprintPhrase
GO
CREATE TABLE tblImprintPhrase
(
CustID char(12),
CustName varchar(40),
TranNoRel char(15)
)
GO However, I was looking to edit the stored procedure, changing CREATE to ALTER, but when I do so, I am prompted with: Error 170: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near "(". If I change back to CREATE, the error goes away, but the sproc cannot be run because it already exists. Any thoughts?
On our particular database server, we run the Rebuild Index Task (Using classic Maintenance Plan Designer) every night. Running the script below, I saw that about 77 tables had an avg_fragmentation_in_percentage between 80% and 99% !!
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) AS TableName, ind.name AS IndexName, indexstats.index_type_desc AS IndexType, indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) indexstats INNER JOIN sys.indexes ind ON ind.object_id = indexstats.object_id AND ind.index_id = indexstats.index_id WHERE indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 30--You can specify the percent as you want ORDER BY indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC
I dont understand why these tables are highly fragmented after a daily index rebuild! Unless the users are doing heavy inserts/updates/deletes during the day.
I have a requirement to only rebuild the Clustered Indexes in the table ignoring the non clustered indexes as those are taken care of by the Clustered indexes.
In order to do that, I have taken the records based on the fragmentation %.
But unable to come up with a logic to only consider rebuilding the clustered indexes in the table.
I'm a web developer who is new to T-SQL scripting.
I need to write a script that will update a table from a text file daily; the columns will be identical but their content will vary. I immediately thought that dropping the existing table and creating a new one from the file as a scheduled job was the answer.
My boss thinks that this approach is risky and suggests comparing the new and old data and altering the existing table instead. My gut says that this is an inefficient and unecessary solution.
Any advice?; if so, any sample scripts you can point to?
Hi everyone, I have a big table which contains approx. 31,524,044 rows. The structure of the table look like this: date ID A B C D 1/1/65 X Null Null Null Null 1/4/65 X 1 2 3 4 ... 2/25/05 X 2 3 4 5 1/1/65 Y Null Null Null Null 1/4/65 Y Null Null Null Null ... 2/25/05 Y 2 3 4 5 ...
The number of distinct(ID) is approx 3200 and each one has daily historical A, B, C, and D back for 40 years. For going forward I need to update daily information for 3200 ids. Currently, I am runing query against to this table is ok. I am thinking by the time pass by the table will be hudge since "stored historical information". It probably takes "long long long" time to run the query against this table. Any suggestion or comments... what is the best/better solution? Or it is not problem at all?
best method to my issue regarding unused space. SQL SERVER 2014 BI EDITTION..I have a table that showed 62% Data, 7% unallocated, and 29% unused space.I ran the ALTER TABLE <table name> REBUILD, which changed it to 32% data and 67% unused.What I do with this table monthly and what I believe is causing this unused space issue is this:Every 1st of the month I get a csv file that holds around 3.2 million rows/15 columns of data. About 3 gbs every time.It's 13 months of data. I remove the last 12 months from the current table and import the new 13 month data.I do this twice a month and have no choice because the data is constantly updated and why we get it twice a month.So I am deleting around 6 gbs of data a month as well as adding around 6 gbs of data a month.
I believe this is why I end up with so much unused space, but just found the REBUILD command, which worked but now a small hit on performance and have too much space in the current table. I have read several times that shrinking the file is no good, but what other way to get rid of the extra space in this table? Also, the table doesn't have any indexes or primary key because of duplicates.
I have a very large table with approximately 400 million records in it. Every 10 seconds approximately 150 insert are done on the table. I am attempting to rebuild one of the indexes (non-unique, non-clustered). But when I run a script to rebuild the index online (i have enterprise edition) the VB.NET service that is attempting to insert generates SQL timeout errors (timeout set to 30 seconds). From an article on msdn they state that long term table locks are not held for the duration of the index operation. So what am I missing because I am not close to being a DBA. I know SQL Server is not a SCADA but it is not my choice.
Here is the script for one of the rebuilds USE [DATABASENAME] GO ALTER INDEX [IX_REALLY_BIG_TABLE_DT] ON [dbo].[REALLY_BIG_TABLE] REBUILD WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = OFF, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, ONLINE = ON ) GO
Here is the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188388.aspx
My environment is SQL 2000. I have a table with 500 million rows. The table is consistently getting updated and inserted. I can not take the table offline. My clustered index needs to be rebuilt due to decreased performance. How do I accomplish this?
I want to check a table to see what rows have been updated today, then write to a text file some data from the selected rows; then I want to automate this (DTS package? TSQL stored procedure job?) to run every night at midnight. Is the DTS Wizard the best way, that's what I did, but have not confirmed that it is writing a new text file every day, and does each new version write over the old one?
I have a table thats updated daily with monthly data totals:
Month, Total orders1, Total orders2, etc 12/01/2012, 5, 8, etc 11/01/2012, 6, 5, etc
How do I pull data from this table in SQL Server for ONLY the current month? I was thinking using the getdate() function to get the current month, but it doesn't match exactly so I get no results
How can I determine when a sproc or table was last used? I suspect that I have many obsolete tables and sprocs in my database but how can I find out for sure?? Thanks, DL

I have a bunch of un-related tables that I need to make relational.
I have a bunch of SProcs set up to help with the relating of the tables but I need the quickest way to get the values from the tables and into the SProcs.
Currently, I'm using .NET to cycle through the necessary tables, sending in their values into the SProcs, one at a time.
I'd like to have some SQL-ized way to do this so I can just make another step in my DTS package that already copies over the un-related tables from DB2.
What I'd imagine the code to look like would be something like...
EXEC SP_EMPLOYEES (SELECT FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME FROM oldEmployees)
I know, now, that it's not as easy as that but I'm thinking there MUST be a way - even if it requires creating a new SProc. TIA
This Table is updated as users rate forum threads.
Then I have Table_B which should display the some info in a Gridview Table_B has 3 fields: Name, ID and Score
I want the Rating from Table_A to update to Table_B's Score Field.
I suppose I should write a sproc to do this, but I am not quite sure how; This is what I would like the sproc to do...
Update Table_B SET Score = Table_A.Rating WHERE ID = Table_A.ThreadID
Any help on this...or is there a should I not use a sproc. Also...how do I get the sproc to update the table automatically (without me running the sproc manually)?
Hi. This is a SQL question. I am trying to wrap a stored procedure with a UDF so I can do selects against the result.

I have a sproc called usp_validTicker that will take 2 parameters: ticker and date. It will return the valid ticker for that date. I like to have the sproc going through each ticker in the table and return the valid tickers.
For example exec usp_validTicker 'AAB-Bank','2008-6-10' will return 'AAB' and my final table will be
Hi. It seems to be very simple, actually, but I don't know if it isfeasible in TSQL. I have a sproc which gathers in one place many callsto different other sprocs, all of them taking a 'StoreGroupe'parameter. I would like to add a case where if the call has NOStoreGroupe parameter, the sproc should LOOP thru all records in tableStoreGroupeTable, read the column StoreCode, and pass that value as aparam to the other sprocs, as in:CREATE PROCEDURE MySproc(@StoreGroupe nvarchar(6) = NULL)ASif (@StoreGroupe is not null)BeginExec _Sproc1 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc2 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc3 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc4 @StoreGroupe...............EndElseBeginA 'Group Code' has NOT been specifiedI want to take all the StoreGroups in tableStoreGroupeTable, in turn.I would like to do SOMETHING LIKE THIS:Do While not [StoreGroupeTable].EOFRead [Code] from [StoreGroupeTable]Set @StoreGroupe = The value I just readExec _Sproc1 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc2 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc3 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc4 @StoreGroupe...............LoopEndGOIs that feasible in a sproc, or do I have to do this in the client(ADO) ?Thanks a lot.Alex.
I'm working on re-indexing a table using some commands from ALTER INDEX REBUILD from Microsoft. The indexes will be tested for threshold fragmentation. my plan is once the reindex is executed, a transaction backup will occur while controlling the size of the log file. The query impose time limitations or stop reindexing after the specified amount of time has elapsed.
my question, 1. How can I integrate a query which checks if transaction log is getting full and which runs a Tlog backup if over 70% 2. How do I impose time limitation?
Hullo folks, I'm having what I assume is a fairly mundane security issue.
I have a SQL login that I am trying to restrict as much as possible. This account's sole goal in life is to hit the server, return some usage statistics, then truncate the table it received the statistics from. I would like to refrain from granting this login permissions on the physical target table if possible.
Usually I can wrap up "protected" operations in a stored procedure, then grant exec permissions for my user and I'm good to go. However, TRUNCATE TABLE gets cranky with me when I attempt the above method. I suspect that has to do with the fact that TRUNCATE TABLE is effectively modifying the table itself as opposed to merely deleting data.
Is it possible to grant this login ONLY execute permission on a stored proc that TRUNCATE's tables without giving the user any physical permissions? Am I going about this the wrong way?
I'm trying to capture the value returned from sprocs. I stored the sproc name in the table and use cursor to run each sproc. Now the question is how can I capture and store the return value in a variable?
Here is the scenario:
Table1 has 1 column varchar(50) called vchsprocname count_A -- procedure, select count(*) from ... count_B -- procedure, select count(*) from ... count_C -- procedure, select count(*) from ...
here is my query: ---------------------------------------------------- DECLARE @vchsprocname varchar(50) DECLARE @count int
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT vchsprocname from table1
OPEN cur FETCH NEXT FROM cur into @vchsprocname
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
exec @count = @vchsprocname -- I know I cannot do this, the vchsprocname cannot be variable. What else can I do?
i am writing a sproc that calls another sproc. this 2nd sproc returns 3 or 4 rows. i want to be able to insert these rows into a table. this sproc is inside a cursor, as i have to call it many times.
how do i insert the rows that it returns into another table??
Loop through #Temp_1 -Execute Sproc_ABC passing in #Temp_1.Field_TUV as parameter -Store result set of Sproc_ABC into #Temp_2 -Update #Temp_1 SET #Temp_1.Field_XYZ= #Temp_2.Field_XYZ End Loop
It appears scary from a performance standpoint, but I'm not sure there's a way around it. I have little experience with loops and cursors in SQL. What would such code look like? And is there a preferable way (assuming I have to call Sproc_ABC using Field_TUV to get the new value for Field_XYZ?
I have a table which is updated daily using a MERGE statement. As records are insert, updated and deleted, I am saving the OUTPUT from the MERGE statement into a history table with a timestamp and action$ column appended to the record.
Using this history table, I'd like to rebuild the data based on specific past date. I was able to create a stored procedure that inspects each record in the history table and apply it to the data in a temp table. The stored procedure solution uses multiple queries to rebuild the data at a point in time. I was curious if there was an easier and more efficient solution using a table function.

Why don't you folks (SQL SERVER Management Studio Team or SQL SERVER Database Engine Team) provide an option by using which I would be in a position to know what all the other objects are depended on a selected object and vice versa. That means:
When I select a Table within the SQL SERVER Management Studio if there is an option for understanding "Which all the objects (tables or views) it is depended on (I mean Foreign key and etc... kind of relations) and also Which all the objects (Tables, Views, Stored Procedures and etc...) are using this table", It would be of great help for all developers.
I'm sorta new with using stored procedures and I'm at a loss of how to achieve my desired result.
What I am trying to do is retrieve a value from a table before it is updated and then use this original value to update another table. If I execute the first called sproc in query analyzer it does return the value I'm looking for, but I'm not really sure how to capture the returned value. Also, is there a more direct way to do this?
Thanks, Peggy

I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?

Ok this may have been answered somewhere but to be honestly I don't even know what I need so its hard for me to search for it. Here is what I have going on lets see if anyone out there can answer this one. I have a 20 year old system that is tied to some lab equipment that we use for coal testing. The equipment runs back to an old win98 PC which is running a DOS program that has long since been abandoned by the manufactures. I can't upgrade the program because it will mean upgrading the hardware which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $100k at least. The program saves everything in what I believe is a dBase IV file (.dbf) and using Excel I can easily see the data inside. What I am trying to do, if I can figure out a way other than writing my own custom app, is to do a daily export/import of the data from the dbf file into a more usable database, then create some spiffy forms to mess with the data. Each day the dbf file is wiped out by the ancient program and a new one is created. My database experience is somewhat limited I have at best a rudimentary knowledge of SQL but I should be able to follow along even if I have to do a little research. Mainly what I am looking for is a way to import the dbf file into an already existing database (new or existing table) automatically via a script or something. I want to retain all the data from past days with out editing the the original DBF file. Can this be done or am I just asking the impossible?
