Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

Jan 9, 2007I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
Large Views Vs Multiple Small Views

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.
Quicky : Views Of Views Of Views
Feb 22, 2007Hello,
to make a report easier I'm developing it using a view of joined views of joined views.
Is there any significant performance penalty as opposed to just having one big select?

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Aug 18, 2005Can you restore a backup (bak) file to a different server? E.g. client gets server nicked, they have bak files, can I run a restore to my sql server?
I can see the with MOVE option, but I can't see how to attach (to the new server) if the database wasn't detached (from the nicked server).

Restoring DB
Jun 1, 2006Hi,
I have created a DB on my local machine.
Now I would like to copy this on to another machine.
I stopped the service and then copied both the MDF file and the
log files into the same folder as in Data folder of the second machine.
When I run theStudio express I cannot find the MDF file.It does not show up in the
the DB folder or window.
When I try to create one it says that the DB exists.
What am I missing?
I tried doing a backup and restore but then the DB is not created on the second machine and
hence wont work.
Tnx

Apr 10, 2006Hi,I'm new to sql but have a website running it on a hosted site. I want to have a local copy of the site running here for testing. I have everything set on my local machine to run it including MSDE and Enterprise Mgr.I've created a blank db with the same name,username and password on my local machine. From my host I received a dbname.bak file which they said I should just restore to my local machine. This sounded simple but I have no idea how to do this. When I right click on the db file within Ent.Mgr I see the Restore option but I can figure out how to designate the dbname.bak file as the source. I also see an option to import but that isn't any better.Does anyone have some simple directions which will show me the proper steps and where I should be to do this? I'd really appreciate it. I assume it's simple but not having ever done it it has me stumped.Thanks!

Restoring Database
Oct 4, 20011) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?
2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?
Restoring A Database
Jan 12, 2001I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Nov 19, 2000Hi, i've struggled in the past to get ms sql 7 db's from one server to another server and always end up getting frustrated. I usually just export and then import..... more work but it does the trick.
Now i've been sent one single db data file that i'm told is a backup copy of someones database. How do i get this loaded onto my server. I've tried restoring from this file but it complains that the backup file is not for the database i'm restoring to.... which is correct.... this has to be something that many people deal with? isn't it?
Can someone please help me out.... some pointers would be much appreciated.

Restoring Databases
Nov 28, 2000I am fairly new to SQL Server and have a question about restoring a database . If a server that contained SQL Server was totally destroyed, and we have backups stored on an external server, how do we restore these backups. I am assuming I would have to install a new instance on the server we buy to replace the destroyed one. Once installed how do I convince or tell SQL Server that there are backups out there. I could move the archived backups back to the new server, but how do I point the new instance of SQL Server to these backups? Thanks in advance for any help.
