If I want to query the db and pull the records in reverse how can I do that?
Here, It looks something like this.
sql = " SELECT "
sql = sql & "ID, from_, subject, comments, "
sql = sql & "msgtime, msgdate, repto, followups "
sql = sql & "FROM " & TABLE_NAME & ""
sql = sql & " WHERE (repto < 1);"
sql = sql & " Order by ID" <-I want to get this starting with the largest ID #
Any Idea's?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I need to get first entries orderd by datetime asc, but I need the newest of this block returned first.
Imagine to have some entries:
08:00 ...
09:00 ...
10:00 ...
.... ...
15:00
16:00
17:00
....
I want to get the first 3 but the highest in time first.
Like this:
10:00 ...
09:00 ...
08.00 ...
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

Does anyone know of a way to determine the code of a stored procedure that was built with encryption? I inherited a db with many of these and we are not sure which version of the source code exists on the server. Alternatively, can I compile a new SP and compare it to the old one in any way other than testing lots of data?
thanks in advance.
Is is possible to write a query that does the reverse of a cross tab query, I have a table that is mirrored for our Main frame, the table contains a item number a warehouse number and a date field and then 43 fields like field01 thru field43 which store quantities, each field out from 01 is another date our from the date field and I need to look for the item, warehouse and return a date where one of the many field is greater than or equal to the quantity I am looking for, I obviously will have to calculate the date field but thought If I could do the reverse of a cross tab giving a resuld set of 43 records for everyone in the first file I could do a quick update for item number, warehouse match and quantity field greater than what i need returning the date
blah blah blah , sorry I made it sound so confusing
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Hi . My database seems to be somehow encrypted by the software I used. When I try to export my data some fields are encrypted like this:
1 => 31911
2 => 63758
3 => 95540
4 => 127258
5 => 158912
6 => 190504
7 => 222032
8 => 253498
I'm really sure it's not some complicated formula (because I managed to recover other fields) . I just want to reverse the formula used to "encrypt" this data.
Thank you. Excuse my english.
HI, I'm using Visual Web Developer and SQL Server 2005 Express Editions. I have a database with two tables, say AccountsTable and PersonsTable, with a one to many relationship respectively.
Given a particular selected record in PersonsTable, I need to look up the corresponding master record in AccountsTable. Here's what I've done:
SqlDataSource1 has a "SELECT * FROM PersonsTable" and a GridView1 which uses this as its datasource and the 'enable Selection' checkbox is On. This works fine.
Then, I create a second SqlDataSource2. When I click on the WHERE button in the Configure Data Source page, I have chosen the following parameters:
Column:PrimaryKeyField; Operator:=; Source=Control; ControlID=GridView1; Default Value='I left this blank' but the Value field shows GridView1.SelectedValue when I click the ADD button.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:bizConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [AccountsTable] WHERE ([AccountNumber] = @AccountNumber)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="GridView1" Name="AccountNumber" PropertyName="SelectedValue"
Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
I have bound DetailsView1 to SqlDataSource2. When I run the page, the GridView1 is shown with Persons records OK. Then I click the 'Select' next to a record in the Gridview expecting the corresponding lookup to the master record (Account) to be shown in the DetailsView, but it does not show anything.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way of doing this?
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
PS. I could find Tutorials showing Master/Details retrieving records in a top down fashion (1:n), but I could not find the reverse (n:1)
I have a friend who has installed MSDE over SQL Server 6.5 - by doing so he broke some other apps that required a SQL 6.5 DB, he realises now it was a mistake on his part and would like to revert to SQL 6.5 again and recover his data, is this possible or has he lost all his old data?
BTW Backups weren't completed....
If anyone can help please let me know.
Two Question
1. Is there a stored procedure, or a way to reverse engineer a database? I have a lot of legacy dbs that I have inherited that I need to create a recovery system for. Part of this is creating the scripts to build all of the tables and I would like to automate it.
2. How can I output the results of a stored procedure to a text file? When I run sp_configure I would like that information to go to a text file.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys
I have built several cubes. However I would need to create local cubes from the built cubes in Analysis Services. As a result I need to work out the DDL for my existing cubes. However the cube contains many mdx calculated members. I was wondering if it would be easier to simply generate the DDL from my existing cube in Analysis Services.
Does anyone know any third party tools that I can use to reverse engineer the DDL from the built cubes in Analysis Services ?
Thanks

I`d like to find a script that will create a "create" script for an entire database. It would write a create-table script for every table in the database, complete with all the PKs and FKs too.
Since I`m asking for the world (or at least the world`s creation script), then I`d also like the script to (optionally) write insert statements for all the rows currently residing in all the tables.
Do you have such a script? If not, can you give me a couple of pointers to assist me in writing my own?
TIA
I need to search a string starting at the end to find the

If I use _reverse_ wildcard search will it always result in a tablescan? Is it possible to get the DB (Oracle or SQL server) to useindexes when doing reverse wildcard match?let's say I have:table email_address (id int, email varchar)with the following entries2, www.%shoes.%3, w%.super%shoes.%4, %webbox.somecopany.comselect id from email_address where 'www.superdupershoes.com' likeemail;this returns 2,3But the query always results in a table scan even if I add an index toemail. What kind of index can I employ in this situation?Please note that this is a _reverse_ search, the opposite of what'snormally done, i.e. select from email_address where email like'www.%shoes.com'.Thanks!- Robert

I have notice that i missed few columns in my merge repliction and i wonder is it possiblie to reverse a replicated database or copy to normal SQL database?
after that i would do a new Publication.
I need to have the data that is in the Database.
In Crystal Reports, there was a "reverse sign for display" property that could be checked for a number box. This was used for debits and credits (and such) so a negative number would be displayed as a positive and a positive displayed as a negative.
How would this work, or is there something simple, in Reporting Services?
Thanks for the information.
I have some data that looks like this
Col1 Col2 SumCol
XXX,YYY, 5
XXX,ZZZ,6
ZZZ,XXX,7
YYY,XXX,2
I want to do a inner join on that data so I get this
XXX,YYY, 7
XXX,ZZZ,13
Right now I'm using a CTE set to do that, is there a better way??
i keep thinking that this can be done with a query, but so far, none of my queries have worked out:
I have data in a column that I would like to permanently reverse, while not disturbing the rest of the columns. For example:
Col1 col2
--- ----
apple John
pear Amy
beans Sam
carrot Bugs
to be
col1 col2
-- ---
carrot John
beans Amy
pear Sam
apple Bugs

I am writing a chat bot for IRC in C#. I am using an Access database (for portability etc) - I have a table called tblResponse, it contains a column called Trigger this contains trigger strings, such as:
% wassup%!%
These contain wildcards etc so that they will match different things spoken in the channel, so the above should match:
hey wassup!!
whoah, a bot ... wassup!!
etc. Because this is comparing general conversations, I am doing sort of a reverse search, in that it is not what I am passing in that I am using as the search string, it is what is in the column of the database that serves as the search string. I don't want to have to store the chat text in a temp table and loop through the Response table, calling sql queries for every entry - but all the queries I have tried do not work as intended.
I have tried switching the select query variables like this (this is called from c#, so for here i have just inserted a test value):
SELECT *
FROM tblResponse
WHERE Trigger like 'hey wassup!!!';
This returns nothing, so does:
SELECT *
FROM tblResponse
WHERE 'hey wassup!!!' like Trigger;
Is there anyway I can perform such a search within a sql query that can be processed by MS Access? To recap (in case I have done a poor job explaining this)... I need to use the database entries as the search criteria, if that criteria matches the incoming text string (using the wildcards in the database entries), then return that row - the exact opposite of a convensional 'search' query.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi,I'd like to reverse engineer the schema definitions in the SQL Serveron a daily basis and store them in a version control system.Could anyone please let know if there are any tools to reverse engineerthe entire schema definitions in the SQL server.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I wanted to make a .NET wrapper class that parses a database for a given stored procedure, and finds the name and type of each of it's parameters.
to do so, i need to do the following:
normally, you have a stored procedure and you know its parameters and their types (i.e. int, varchar, etc), based on that, you hard code a call for this storedprocedure on your backend code.
I want to make a wrapper class that goes and finds out what the parameters for an existing stored procedure are, and based on them, create a GUI that allows people to fill them. after people fill this Form out, and click submit, i generate the proper procedure call.
this would basically allow me to create a single class that i can just call to create a form for any given storedprocedure...
thanks
Cheers!
I have a SSAS 2012 Tabular Cube and I am now stuck with a problem concerning something recursive in DAX.Basically I am looking for number of zones jump, provided the sign of the numbers are reverse.E.g. in the figure below. Number of zones jump for the figure -47,067 is 1, since there is a positive value in zone 2. If the Figure in Zone2 had been 0 or a negative number and Zone 3 had the same (i.e. 0 or a negative number) and Zone 4 had a positive number, the number of Zones jump would be 3. Is this something that could be done in DAX?

I'm working with parent-child hierarchies. My source is AS2005. What I have now is:
+ parent 1
child 1.1
child 1.2
child 1.3
+ parent 2
child 2.1
child 2.2
What I would like is:
child 1.1
child 1.2
child 1.3
+ parent 1
child 2.1
child 2.2
+ parent 2
This would allow me to simulate subtotals for the hierarchy in a more financially intuitive way. I call it a simulutation because the optimal solution would be to use a normal group for the parent-child hierarchy and then apply group-headers and -footers. However, this does not seem possible and the documentation I've found also describes parent-child hierarchies wrt. the details-group only.
I have thought sorting the data - perhaps on levels, but I haven't got anything to work yet. One of the things that annoys me the most when developing in RS2005 is that it's very hard to debug the layout. For instance, when I apply sorting - first ascending then descending - and the result is the same I get no messages telling me what's wrong (which there obviously must be...).
Best regards Mikkel
I have table with columns as ID, DupeID1, DupeID2. ID column is unique. DupeID1 and DupeID2 -- the combination should only be there once. I don't want reverse combination of duplicates, i.e. DupeID2, DupeID1 in the table. How can I delete the reverse duplicates from this table?

I have a data (txt) file which has the following structure
M_ID1:
CID11,Date11
CID12,Date12
M_ID2:
CID,Date21
CID,Date22
My problem now is it, to get that into a table (MID,CID,DATE) as the text file "groups" CID and DATE by MID and
I have no idea how to read the file and transform it.
Well, perhaps somebody out there has an idea!
Thanks in advance!

I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.
Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a table :
id + A + B
1 |0,11| 0
2 |0,45| 0,5
3 |0,85| 0,75
I need to calculate the following :
F = 0,85 * ( 1 - 0,75 * ( 1 - 0,45 * ( 1 - 0,5 * ( 1 - 0,11 * ( 1 - 0 )))))
In which F = A3 * ( 1 - B3 * ( 1 - A2 * ( 1 - B2 * ( 1 - A1 * ( 1 - B1 )))))
It seemed quite easy at first glance. I Built it up via string concatenation and thought to execute the dynamic sql with sp_exec and get the result. As I don't like dynamic sql I was wondering If there is any other way..

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?

In SQL sERVER 2008, I have two fields - Depatment and Employees. I need to sort the result set by employee number ascending order, with following exception
1)when department number = 50 - the preferred order is Employee # - 573 followed by 551-572 (employee # belong to Dept 50 = 551-573)
2)When Department number = 20 – the preferred sort order is Employee # 213-220, followed by Employee # 201-213 (employee # belong to Dept 20 = 201-220)
How shall I achieve this?
I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.
For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.
I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.
I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.
I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.
Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?
