Hi there,
I have tables with such structure
transaction_YYMM
(idx,date,company_id,value)
where YYMM stands for 2digits year and month
I want to define query (maybe view, procedure):
select * from [???] where date>='2007-01-01' and date<='2007-04-30'
which will grab data from
transaction_0701
transaction_0702
transaction_0703
transaction_0704
and return all as one
best regards
Rafal
I would like to know if it's possible to return a single record by joining the tables below. [Persons]
PersonID [int] | PageViewed [int]
=============== =================
1 10
2 5
3 2
4 12
[PersonNames] - PersonID JOINS Persons.PersonID
PersonID [int] | NameID [int] | PersonName [nvarchar] | PopularVotes [int]
=============== ============== ======================= ===================
1 1 Samantha Brown 5
1 2 Samantha Green 10
2 3 Richard T 10
3 4 Riko T 0
4 5 Sammie H 0
[AltNames] - backup for searches caused by common spelling mistakes
AltNameID [int] | AltNames [nvarchar]
================ =============================
1 Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
2 Riko, Rico
[PersonAllNames] - JOINS [PersonNames.NameID] ON [AltNames.AltNameID]
NameID [int] | AltNameID [int]
============= ================
1 1
4 1
3 2
This is ideally what I'd like to have returned: PersonID | PageViewed | MostPopularName | NameSearch
========= ============ ================= =================
1 10 Samantha Green Samantha Brown, Samantha Green, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
2 5 Richard T Richard T
3 2 Riko T Riko T, Riko, Rico
4 12 Sammie H Sammie H, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
[MostPopularName] is [PersonNames.PopularVotes DESC].[NameSearch] combines all records from [PersonNames.PersonName] and [AltNames.AltNames].
The purpose for this is that I'd like to cache the results table so that all searches can just perform a lookup against the NameSearch field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pete.
I have received some data out of a relational database that is incomplete and I need to find where the holes are. Essentially, I have three tables. One table has a primary key of PID. The other two tables have PID as a foreign key. Each table should have at least one instance of every available PID.
I need to find out which ones are in the second and third table that do not show up in the first one,
which ones are in the first and third but not in the second,
and which ones are in the first and second but not in the third.
I've come up with quite a few ways of working it but they all involve multiple union statements (or dumping to temp tables) that are joining back to the original tables and then unioning and sorting the results. It just seems like there should be a clean elegant way to do this.
Here is an example:
create table TBL1(PID int, info1 varchar(10) )
Create table TBL2(TID int,PID int)
Create table TBL3(XID int,PID int)
insert into TBL1
select '1','Someone' union all
select '2','Will ' union all
select '4','Have' union all
select '7','An' union all
select '8','Answer' union all
select '9','ForMe'
insert into TBL2
select '1','1' union all
select '2','1' union all
select '3','8' union all
select '4','2' union all
select '5','3' union all
select '6','3' union all
select '7','5' union all
select '8','9'
insert into TBL3
select '1','10' union all
select '2','10' union all
select '3','8' union all
select '4','6' union all
select '5','7' union all
select '6','3' union all
select '7','5' union all
select '8','9'
I need to find the PID and the table it is missing from. So the results should look like:
PID
MISSING FROM
1
TBL3
2
TBL3
3
TBL1
4
TBL2
4
TBL3
5
TBL1
6
TBL1
6
TBL2
7
TBL2
10
TBL1
10
TBL2
Thanks all.
I have an excel file that has multiple sheets and I need to import data from each separate sheet to a separate table using SSIS.
E.g. Sheet A data should go to Table A and Sheet B data should go to Table B and so on. Is it possible to do this with out using script task.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query:
SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount,
T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount,
T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid,
T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled,
T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student
FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN
T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo
GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount,
T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo,
T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student
HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo.
30429
Cheque
250
Deposit
250
30429
679.98
250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result.
So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

I need to load a database with new data, from an existing parallelsystem, but the database schema has changed and I did not make a script to do the changes. Sure wish I had. So, now I would like to copy the data from the existing parallel system into the new SQL database that has the correct schema. I have built the new database from the existing changed database. Now I would like to know if there is an easy way to clear the data out of all the tables, then copy all the data from the old schema into the new schema's tables.Thanks!Vic
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table which contains readingtime (records every 4 seconds during the day) and an energy reading. I wanted to know how much energy was used in a day. This is the query that i used

Hi there!!! Trying to figure something out, I have searched this forum but no answer to my dilemma.
I have three tables on a database that I have to insert new data and update the old one. The structure of the tables is like this:
Table1
custid int primary key,identity
fname varchar(30)
lname varchar(30)
Table2
fileid int primary key, identity
ssn varchar(11)
custid int foreign key
Table3
statusid int primary key,identity
title varchar(18)
fileid int foreign key
This is very general but that's the idea. Now I receive a text file with the necessary info, I've already parse and break down the file into the correct fields.
Now for my question, how I insert the relevant data onto the tables from this one parsed file? and also how I go about inserting the primary keys from the different tables onto the foreign keys of each tables?
I tried relationships and key indexes, but it just spew a bunch of errors, that I'm investigating.
Any ideas, pointers, tuts, something I'm missing?
BTW I'm using sql 2005 express and VB.net
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I have a number of related tables:
RGData is related to RGCrossReference
RCPPositionData is related to RCPCrossReference
RGCrossReference is also related to RCPCrossReference.
The data is returned correctly from these tables.
However, I also want to return data from another table - RComments.
How do I do this?
RComments is related to either RGData or RCPPositionData only.
Thanks.
Code Snippet
SELECT cm.CommentImage AS ViewComment, gd.PositionID AS GPositionID, cd.UniquePositionID AS CPPositionID
FROM RGData gd
INNER JOIN
RGCrossReference g
ON g.GPositionID = gd.PositionID
INNER JOIN
RCPCrossReference c
ON c.GMatchID = g.GMatchID
INNER JOIN
RCPPositionData cd
ON cd.UniquePositionID = c.CPPositionID
left outer JOIN
RComments cm
ON ((cm.CPPositionID = cd.UniquePositionID) or (cm.GPositionID = gd.PositionID))
AND cm.CommentsDate =
(SELECT MAX(CommentsDate) AS Expr1

WHERE
(cd.Quantity != gd.Quantity

Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data.
When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Bob
Can someone show me the command string required to write data out to 2 or 3 tables at once? How about how to write 2 entries at once? Write now my solution writes 1 record to a table and then I write somewhere around 40-200 records to a second child . Write now I'm writing like this:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeand I'm just wondering if there is a better approach, such as writing all the data at once. Something like:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> Add 5 records in table #2 --> close
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello everyone, My web application uses SQL Server database and I am connecting via standard SqlConnection object and running stored procedures using SqlCommand object. In one of my page, I have data coming from 2 different tables. Now , data from 1 table comes as only single record. But from other table it comes as multiple records. Meaning, data that I read as 1 record, goes to different textbox and dropdown controls on page. Data that comes in multiple rows, I am binding that data with DataGrid. Now, in aspx page data from both table can be updated and on aspx page I only need to provide a single save button. Now, I am not sure how to save/insert/update a single row in 1 table and multiple rows in another table in 1 transaction. I thought of stored procedure. But I don't think its straightforward with stored procedures since table with multiple records, I am not sure how to pass all the records in stored procedure's arguments.Is there any way that I can control whole transaction in ASP .NET?

May be some duplicate entry of same record is available in Table 1.
Hey guys up until now i've only inserted data into a single table. Now I have a form that collects information over a span of three forms. Each form has a table related to it and these three tables are related to each other.
What I want to know is:
1)How do you go abouts inserting data into multiple related tables that have constraints on them?
2)Would you use a stored procedure in an instance like this?
3)At what stage would you execute the sql queries. I assume you do this once you have collected all the required information as opposed to: Enter info into form1, submit form1 data to database... enter info into form2, submit form2 data into database etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Say for instance I have three related tables.
table1
------
tbl1_id
tbl1_data1
tbl1_data2
table2
------
tbl2_id
tbl2_data1
tbl2_data2
table3
------
tbl3_id
tbl3_data1
tbl3_data2
table1 has a one-to-many relationship with table2
table3 has a one-to-one relationship with table2

Hi All,
My database's design is set out here. In summary, I'm trying to model a Stock Exchange for a Technical Analysis application written using Visual C++. In order to create the hierachy I'm using a Nested Set Model. I'm now trying to write code to add and delete equities (or, more generically, nodes) to the database using a form presented to the user in my application. I have example SQL code to create the necessary add and delete procedures that calculate the changes to the values in the lft and rgt columns, but these examples focus around a single table, where as my design aggregates rows from multiple tables using UNION ALL:
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW vw_NSM_DBHierarchy -- Nested Set Model Database Hierarchy
AS
SELECT clmStockExchange, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblStockExchange_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmMarkets, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblMarkets_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmSectors, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblSectors_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmEPIC, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblEquities_
Essentially, I'm trying to create an updateable view but I receive the error "UNION ALL View is not updatable because a partitioning column was not found". I suspect that my design in wrong or lacks and this problem is highlighting the design flaws so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Schema.Ini - defined for the first table
[LogConfig.txt]
Format=CSVDelimited
CharacterSet=ANSI
ColNameHeaders=true
Col1=JobDateText Width 20
Col2=JobNumberText Width 20
Col3=FileName Text Width 100
Hoe do i define the column names for the second table. All these contents are in a single text file and need to be parsed only thru sql.
Any help/suggestions are welcome..
Thanks a lot for taking time to read this.
