Just thought I would ask the question on here with regards a problem we have. We have PDA based auditing tool which use SQL Compact to store information via on Compact Framework application. Now we have a user who swears blind they have carried out an audit but there is no trace of it anywhere on the database even though there are audits on there prior to the said date and after and there is no other faciity to delete data from the app other than a complete wipe of the database hence everything would of gone!
Now, the data is stored over 4 tables from which there are no traces of any unrelated data between the tables etc. so its dissappeared, anybody any experience of data simply vanishing into thin air??
Hi, I need to write a query which I have never attempted before and could do with some help.... I have a Groups table and a Users_Groups look up table. In this model, users can only be assigned to 1 group. If a group is deleted, a trigger should fire and delete any rows in User_Groups having a matching Groups.Ref. Unfortunately, the trigger hasn't been firing and I now have a load of defunct rows in Users_Groups relating users to groups which do not exist.I now need to find all of these defunct rows in Users_Groups so that I can delete them. How can I find rows in Users_Groups where the parent rows and refs in Groups are null? I've tried searching the net for something similar but don't even know how to word the search properly to get any half relevant results. Cheers PS, I do realise I need to tighten the constraints on my database
I have a sql 2000 database in which reports are generated on a monthly basis from the data inside on of my tables. The reports have been working fine, until some of the rows seemed to have disappered!
I know the data use to be in the table, since it is showing on the old reports, however, when I try to pull that same data, it is not in the database at all.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could have caused this or how I can resolve??
I have enabled drillthrough on a cube (AS 2005) and selected the columns required. This worked. When I use the drillthrough option in Excel, drillthrough queries return less rows than expected. For example, for a cells combinations (pivot table) I saw 21198 rows, but after access to detail, query return just 21106 rows. Less rows than expected.

I am using BULK INSERT to import some pipe-delimited flat files into a database.
I am firstly converting the file using VB.NET, to ensure each line of the file has a carriage return (by using streamwriter.writeline), and I am also ensuring there is no blank line at the end of the file (by using streamwriter.write).
Once I have done this, my BULK INSERT command appears to work OK. This is how I am using the statement:
BULK INSERT tempHISTORY FROM 'C:TEMPHISTORY.TXT' WITH ( FIRSTROW = 2, FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR = ' ' )
NB: The first row in the file is a header row.
This appears to work OK, however, I have found that certain files seem to miss the final line of the file! I have analysed these files incase they have an inconsistant number of columns but they don't.
I have also found that if I knock off the last column of the tempHISTORY table, the correct number of rows are imported. However, of course, I can't just discard one of the columns from the file, I need to import the entire file.
I cannot understand why BULK INSERT is choosing to miss the final line in the file, when the schema of the destination table matches the structure of the file.
I'm trying to create a performant script to copy records from a table in a source database, to an identical table in a destination database.
In SQL 2000, I used to create a little lookup which did a count using certain fields. If the record was missing, I executed an INSERT query, otherwise an UPDATE query. The result was that the table on the destination side was always up to date. Duplicate rows were out of the question.
This was, if I'm not mistaking, a Data Transformation, using a bit of custom VBA code to govern the transfer. For each source row, the custom code was executed. Depending on the result of the custom code, a different query was launched.
Now I'm trying to do the same using SSIS in SQL 2005. Is there a task which does this for me, or do I have to script again? In the latter case, which type of task would I use?
(I thought of the Script Task, but then I would need to set up quite a bit myself.)
Hi, I used the /e in my bcp code. yet did not get all the rows from the main frame into the sql talbes... here is the case I have 11 million rows in an ftp server I use this code to bcp into sql server can anyonecheck if this code is good for the process, I am missing one million row in the bcp process and do not know why??? I put the /e to see if there is any error but could not see any error file in my hard drive? Please check it out and let me know

I have written a reporting application which has a SQL2005 backend. An import routine into SQL, written by a 3rd party, frequently fails. The main problems are missing rows in certain tables.
I am going to write an SP that will accepts a from and to date. I then want to search for rows of type X between those dates that do not exist so we then know between a date range, we have no data for these XYZ days.
I have this working by returning all rows between the dates into a dataset, sorted by date, and then running through the rows and testing if the next rows date is the next expected date. This works but I think is a very poor solution. This is all done on the client in C#.
I want to learn and implement the most efficent way of doing this. My only solution in a SP was to make a temporary table of all dates between the date range for row type X and then do a right outer join against the data table, returning all rows which are missing.
Something like this:
SELECT twmd.date FROM #temp_table_with_all_dates ttwad RIGHT OUTER JOIN table_with_missing_date twmd ON ttwad.date = twmd.date WHERE twmd.date IS NULL
Would this be a good, efficent solution, or should I just stick to my processing of a dataset in C#?
I also have a RESOURCES table of phrases (for translation purposes) similar to this:
res_id res_lang res_phrase AccessDenied en Access Denied
For some rows in the resources table I do not have all language codes present so am missing some translations for a given res_id.My question is what query can I use to determine the RESOURCE.RES_IDs for which I do not have a translation for.
For example I might have a de, en, cz translation for a phrase but not a pl phrase and I need to identofy those rows in order that I can obtain translations for the missing RESOURCE rows.
We are using a mix of SQL 2005 and 2000 servers and our "main" database server is running SQL 2005 x64 (SP2 ver. 3042).
Our system has run perfectly for months, then subsequent to an SP2 update we are seeing several instances where the data record counts are different for several tables among all the servers.
We are using Merge Replication, with no filters and published every 2 minutes.
I was using the MDX Query Builder to create MDX queries for a SSRS report. I'm not sure what happened, but when I tried to create another dataset against the cube, the "Drop Column Fields Here" and "Drop Row Fields Here" areas were no longer available for me to drop attributes onto.
I have restarted VS, rebooted, you name it, I've tried it (short of re-installing). Has anyone encountered this and how did you "fix" it.
BTW: In order to continue working, I decided to use ProClarity to build the MDX for me and when I tried to paste it into the MDX editor, I get the following error: "The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. ..". So, as I've seen from other posts, you can't use "any" MDX in the MDX Query Builder.
I have access to a stored procedure that was written previously for a process that uses the output from the stored procedure to provide input to a BCP operation in a bat file that builds a flat text file for use in a different system.
To continue with the set up, here is the stored procedure in question: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[HE_GetStks] AS
select top 15 Rating, rank, coname, PriceClose, pricechg, DailyVol, symbol from
(selectf.rating, f.rank, s.coname, cast ( f.priceclose as decimal(10,2)) as PriceClose, cast ( f.pricechg as decimal(10,2)) as pricechg, f.DailyVol, f.symbol from dailydata f, snames s where f.tendcash = 0 and f.status = 1 and f.typ = 1 and f.osid = s.osid) tt order by rating desc, rank desc
GO
The code in the calling bat file is: REM ************************* REM BCP .WRK FILE REM ************************* bcp "exec dailydb.[dbo].[HE_GetStks]" queryout "d:TABLESINPUTHE_GetStks.WRK" -S(local) -c -U<uname> -P<upass>
This works just peachy in the process for which it was designed, but I need to use the same stored procedure to grab the same data in order to store it in a historical table in the database. I know I could duplicate the code in a separate stored procedure that does the inserting into my database table, but I would like to avoid that and use this stored procedure in case the select statement is changed at some point in the future.
Am I missing something obvious in how to utilize this stored procedure from inside an insert statement in order to use the data it outputs? I know I cannot use an EXECUTE HE_GetStks as a subquery in my insert statement, but that is, in essence, what I am trying to accomplish.
I just wanted to bounce the issue of y'all before I go to The Boss and ask him to change the procedure to SET the data into a database table directly (change the select in the proc to an INSERT to a local table) then have the external BAT file use a GET procedure that just does the select from the local table. This is the method most of our similar jobs use when faced with this type of "intercept" task.
In a t-sql 2012 sql update script listed below, it only works for a few records since the value of TST.dbo.LockCombination.seq only contains the value of 1 in most cases. Basically for every join listed below, there should be 5 records where each record has a distinct seq value of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thus my goal is to determine how to add the missing rows to the TST.dbo.LockCombination where there are no rows for seq values of between 2 to 5. I would like to know how to insert the missing rows and then do the following update statement. Thus can you show me the sql on how to add the rows for at least one of the missing sequence numbers?
UPDATE LKC SET LKC.combo = lockCombo2 FROM [LockerPopulation] A JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type JOIN TST.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber = LKR.number
JobRequirements (A) JobID int QualificationTypeID int
EmployeeQualifications (B) EmployeeID int QualificationTypeID int
Employee (C) EmployeeID int EmployeeName int
I need to return a list of all employees fit for a specific job ... The criteria is that only employees who have all the JobRequirements are returned. So if a job had 3 requirements and the employee had just 2 of those qualifications, they would not be returned. Likewise, the employee might have more qualifications than the job requires, but unless the employee has all the specific qualifications the job requires they are not included. If an employee has all the job qualifications plus they have extra qualifications then they should be returned...
How to only return those records where all the child records are present in the other table..
I am using sql server 2005. I stuck out in a strange problem. I am using view in my stored procedure, when I run the stored procedure some of the rows get skipped out means if select query have to return 10 rows then it is returning 5 rows or any other but not all, also the records displyaing is randomly coming, some time it is displaying reords 12345 next time 5678, other time 2468.
But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS 1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.
I have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.
How I can use this variable to email fellow users. For example, what I would like is if ANY rows are returned to the Object variable (1 or more), then I would like to execute an email SP that we have on our server.

Hello, I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row: user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3 For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer): user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3 How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row Thanx,Danny.
Hi i tried designing a SSIS package which loads only those rows which were different from existing rows in the table , i need to timestamp the existing row with an inactive date when a update of that row is inserted (ex: same studentID ) and the newly inserted row with a insert time stamp so as to indicate the new row as currently active, in short i need to maintain history and current rows in same table , i tried using slowly changing dimension but could not figure out, anyone experience or knowledge regarding the Data loads please respond.
example of Data would be like
exisiting data
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME 12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 NULL 14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
New row to insert would be
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07
the data should reflect
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME 12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 4/5/07
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
Please provide your input as much as you can even though it might not be a 100% solution.
I had created a trigger which sees that whether a database is updated if it is its copy the values of the updated row into another control table now I want to read the content of control_table into BIzTalk and after reading I want to delete it.Can any one suggest the suitable ay to do this?
I have the following variables VehicleID, TransactDate, TransactTime, OdometerReading, TransactCity, TransactState.
VehicleID is the unique vehicle ID, OdometerReading is the Odometer Reading, and the others are information related to the transaction time and location of the fuel card (similar to a credit card).
The records will be first grouped and sorted by VehicleID, TransactDate, TransactTime and OdometerReading. Then all records where the Vehicle ID and TransactDate is same for consecutive rows, AND TransactCity or TransactState are different for consecutive rows should be printed.
I also would like to add two derived variables.
1. Miles will be a derived variable that is the difference between consecutive odometer readings for the same Vehicle ID.
2. TimeDiff will be the second derived variable that will categorize the time difference for a particular vehicle on the same day.
My report should look like:
VehID TrDt TrTime TimeDiff Odometer Miles TrCity TrState 1296 1/30/2008 08:22:42 0:00:00 18301 000 Omaha NE 1296 1/30/2008 15:22:46 7:00:04 18560 259 KEARNEY NE

Problem & Info:
I am bringing in an Excel file. I need to first strip out any non-detail rows such as the breaks you see with totals and what not. I should in the end have only detail rows left before I start moving them into my SQL Table. I'm not sure how to first strip this information out in SSIS specfically how down to the right component and how to actually code the component to do this based on my Excel file here: http://www.webfound.net/excelfile.xls
Then, I assume I just use a Flat File Source coponent or something to actually take the columns in the Excel and split into an OLE DB Datasource to shove each column into a corresponding column in my SQL Server Table. I have used a Flat File Source in the past to do so with a comma delimited txt file but never tried with an Excel.
Desired Help:
How to perform
1) stripping out all undesired rows 2) importing each column into sql table
I am facing an issue that Data flow task failing after loading 29000 rows out of 2lakhs rows.

I'm stuck. I have a table that I want to pull some info from that I don''t know how to.
There are two colomuns, one is the call_id column which is not unique and the other is the call_status column which again is not unique. The call_status column can have several values, they are ('1 NEW','3 3RD RESPONDED','7 3RD RESOLVED','6 PENDING','3 SEC RESPONDED','7 SEC RESOLVED').
The call_id could be any number, I only want the 6 PENDING rows where there are other rows for that call_id which have either 3 3RD RESPONDED or 7 3RD RESOLVED. If someone knows how it would be a great help.

helo.. I have 100,000 rows in the database and I want to read results for eg: from 5000 to 5050 by DataReader. I wrote this code to do this but its too slow:
Dim SlctStr As String = "select * from topicstbl where partID like '" & PagePartID & "'"
Dim ReadCom As New SqlClient.SqlCommand
ReadCom.CommandText = SlctStr
ReadCom.Connection = MainLib.MyConnection
Dim MyReader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = ReadCom.ExecuteReader()
Dim StartTNum As Long = 5000
For IR As Long = 0 To StartTNum - 1
MyReader.Read()
Next
Do While MyReader.Read
StartTNum += 1
If StartTNum > 5500 Then Exit Do
'''''''''''''''''''
Loop
MyReader.Close()
is there another way to do the same thing better off than this code?
Dear Friends, Is there any way to display a table data separately like odd rows and even rows?I dont know this is possible or not?If it is possible means how can i achieve it?Please guide me a proper way. Thanks all!
