I'm building an app to manage the upcoming NCAA March Madness tournament. I'm going to use a third-party control from www.tourneylogic.com to manage the actual brackets, but I've got a problem in determining the winner for a public pool I'm running.
Basically, I want to select the winner of the pool based on points awarded for correctly picking the winners of the games in each successive round of play. For example: if you correctly pick the first round winners, you get 1 point per game, the second round gets 2 points, the Sweet 16 gets 4 points, the Elite 8 gets 8 points, and the Final Four gets 16 points per game. (Correctly picking the National Championship game winner gets 160+1 points, so that someone picking the every game BUT the final won't possibly have more points than the final game).
I'd like to do this all at the database level, within a single stored procedure. I'll write a simple administrative SPROC to aggregate all users' point totals at the end of the tournament, and then display the final tallies. So my problem is designing a SPROC that will run through each user's posted picks, check if they picked a winner, and if so, assign a certain number of points - and then sum this whole range of values to assrive at a final tally of points.
If anyone has done this before, using a tiered scoring system, I'd appreciate the input.
A report is picking up some values from the body and displaying them in text boxes within the Page Header, via the ReportItems collection. The text boxes within the body have their format specified as #,###; (#,###) - so displaying negative values within brackets. If the following value is set for the Page Header text box:
="My Value" & " " & ReportItems!variance.Value
the value displayed is, for example:
(My Value (1,123
Hence the requested trailing bracket has been swapped to become a leading bracket. Whatever I've tried I cannot get the bracket in the correct place. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug?
I have attached the results of checking an Update sproc in the Sql database, within VSS, for a misbehaving SqlDataSource control in an asp.net web application, that keeps telling me that I have too many aurguments in my sproc compared to what's defined for parameters in my SQLdatasource control.....

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

A user was created with a limited privilege under the USERS group. Once this user loged in the Report Manager he is acting like an Admin and Content Manager, though he is not given even a browser role.
What do u think that this guy is acting like a Super User evenif he is restricted to a browser role on the Report Manager ????????????
On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am using SSIS 2005 on Windows 2003 server. Using Excel Source to dump the data for staging database. I am getting following error while I execute it through BI studio's execute button.
I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.

This sproc seems to be way over my head. First off, let's start with the scenario. I have two tables. tblInventory and tblTempCart. Each contain an ItemID and Quantity. I need an sproc that will loop through the rows in tblTempCart and sum the quantity of each ItemID. Then, it needs to update the quantity in tblInventory based on what has been ordered for that ItemID. What I have tried thus far: UPDATE dbo.[4HCamp_tblStoreInventory]SET Quantity = Quantity - (SELECT SUM(dbo.[4HCamp_tblStoreTempCart].Quantity) AS Quantity FROM dbo.[4HCamp_tblStoreTempCart] WHERE dbo.[4HCamp_tblStoreTempCart].ItemID = dbo.[4HCamp_tblStoreInventory].ItemID) This works other than if the ItemID doesn't exist in tblTempCart, then it updates the quantity in tblInventory to NULL instead of retaining it's current value. I have no experience with looping in sql so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Amanda
I am trying to design a stored procedure to list out all of the unique software items that have been approved. There are multiple tables involved: CISSoftware, Software, Manufacturers, SoftwareTypes. Despite putting DISTINCT, I am still receiving rows of records where the software title (the title field) is a duplicate. Why is this query not working? Am I overlooking something? SELECT DISTINCT CISSoftware.SoftwareID, Software.Title, Manufacturers.ManufacturerID, Manufacturers.ManufacturerName, SoftwareTypes.SoftwareTypeID, SoftwareTypes.Type
FROM CISSoftware, Software, Manufacturers, SoftwareTypes
WHERE CISSoftware.SoftwareID = Software.SoftwareID
AND Software.ManufacturerID = Manufacturers.ManufacturerID
AND Software.SoftwareTypeID = SoftwareTypes.SoftwareTypeID
I'm trying to learn using sproc in ASP.NET, but ran into problems I couldn't solve. Here're the details
My Table (JournalArticle) ArticleID - int (PK) ArticleTitle - varchar ArticleContent - text
I could run a normal sql string against the table itself in ASP.NET and got the results I expect. but when using a sproc, i couldn't get anything The sproc
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_ArticleSearch(@srch text) AS SELECT ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleContent FROM dbo.JournalArticle WHERE (ArticleAbstract LIKE @srch) GO
After reading some of the threads here, I experimented by changing ArticleContent and @srch to type varchar, still no luck, it's not returning anything. I think the problem is when i set the value of @srch (being new at this, I could be seriously wrong though), like this:
I have tried to mix this around every way I can think of but the procedure inserts two rows instead of one. You will notice that I specify two commands/sprocs. I did that as part of my trying everything. when it was one command/sproc it did the same thing... What am I doing wrong? Please Help! :)

In the above sproc I m trying to call another sproc GetZipID . Its giving me an error stating that
"Incorrect syntax near @City. "
Can you help me out? The same syntax works for passing one variable but not for three.
FYI this is the other sproc
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetZipID(@City varchar(30), @State char(2), @Zip5 char(6)) AS BEGIN DECLARE @CityID integer DECLARE @StateID integer DECLARE @ZipID integer

I wanted to know if its possible to do this in a sproc.
if you want to hide the column that has no data, I suggest you to handle these works in your data accessing modular. For example, if you check one of your column is empty, just remove the column in your record set, so the column would not show in the report.

I'm optimizing an Access mdb to run in front of a SS 2005 database. My approach is to move as much of the processing as possible out of Access and in to SQL Server.
I have a report uses an Access query as it's source. One field in that report is generated via a series of 4 or 5 sub-queries that are finally joined in to the report's source query.
I have enough knowhow to turn each individual Access query into a veiw inside SQL server, but I'm wondering if this wouldn't be better accomplished using a stored procedure?
Essentially, I'd need the sproc to open up a set of 50-60 records, loop through them until it finds the first record with certain criteria, then return a certain value as it's result. Finally, I need that vallue to be joined to a view that I will point to as the source for my report in Access.
Is it possible to do this with a sproc? Is this the right way to use a sproc?
Hi SQLersI'm in an unusual position of using a SQL box I'm not an admin of. To make it worse, it is SQL 2k. I haven't used this in anger for over a year. I don't even have the 2k tools installed and I'm just using SSMS.sp_adduser ain't working. I've nosed around in master and the reason why is somebody, for some reason, has created a sproc called (you guessed it) master.dbo.sp_adduser.I can't poke around as I would like and I don't have a 2k instance to bugger about with. Correct me if I am wrong but if there is some user defined master.dbo.sp_adduser sproc then there can't be a system sproc to add users? CREATE USER is SQL 2k5 too right? Users do get created by EM by the team managing the box so what command does this use? Anyone know or (flutters eyelashes) fancy running a profiler trace on EM to see?I want to convert my SQL 2k5 security objects script for SQL 2k. I can create the objects in SSMS so not critical."Overriding" system sprocs is not something I would ever do and I have no equivalent testing environment so any help highly appreciatedCheers

I am trying to create a sproc that willl add a row to a table. I also want to be able to test the sproc by inserting literal values and executing it. Below is the sproc that I have created. I am not sure if I have done the last part with the values correctly. The names used in the VALUES portion are the same as the variables in my c# app. I want to be able to pass the alues from my c# app to this using these variables.
I have tried to add this a row to the table by changing the word CREATE to EXEC and then running it. I also changed the values to a value with quotes around it. I thought that might make the value a literal. I did this in an effort to test the sproc. I had no luck trying to write to the database this way.
