I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears. Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
In my ETL job I would like to truncate stg table but before truncating stging table, I want to make sure that all the records are inserted in the data model. The sample is as below
create table #stg ( CreateID int, Name nvarchar(10) ) insert into #stg select 1, 'a' union all select 2, 'b' union all
[Code] ....
How can I check among these tables and make sure that all values are loaded into the data model and the staging table can be truncated.
Hi there, I'm trying to concat the results of a select statement into a single row separated by commas without duplicates. The query and output is something like this:SELECT Specification FROM Cars WHERE Model = 112Which would return something like:Specification------------------Model 1Model 2Model 2Model 4 What I'd like is these to be combined into a single row such as:Specification ------------------Model 1, Model 2, Model 4

I'm wondering how it's possible to have a select statement resultant rows concatenated into one row and column. For example: select letter from alphabet_table a b c d e ... 26 rows returned.
Other than a cursor, how would I write a query to return the following: row1: abcdefghijkl...
I've 2 tables QuestionAnswers and ConditionalQuestions and fetching data from them using CTE join and I'm seeing repetitive rows (not duplicate) like, If you have multiple answers for 1 question, the output is like
where london where paris where toronto
why us why japan why indonesia
I want to eliminate the repetitive question and group them as parent child items.
with cte as ( select cq.ConditionalQuestionID from ConditionalQuestions cq inner join QuestionAnswers qa on cq.QuestionID=qa.QuestionID where cq.QuestionID=5 and qa.IsConditional='Y') select distinct q.Question, a.Answer from QuestionAnswers qa inner join Answers a on a.AnswerID = qa.AnswerID inner join Questions q on q.QuestionID = qa.QuestionID inner join cte c on c.ConditionalQuestionID = qa.QuestionID;
I have a procedure (a) where i call another procedure (b) passing @message as a parameter to procedure B.
Ex: Create procedure a as Begin declare @prevyear exec b @message = 'avvasdva' + cast(@prevyear as varchar) End
When i execute above procedure, i get error at + sign i.e. @message parameter. how can i concatenate string with another parameter when passing parameters
I'm new to MSSQL 2005 and want to get a summary of a log table. I want to count all the rows for each date based on a DATETIME field called 'post_date' that holds the date and time of each record's creation.
this is the best I can come up with:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT(LEFT(post_date,11)) AS post_date, COUNT(DISTINCT(LEFT(post_date,11))) AS total_posts FROM log_directory_contacts GROUP BY post_date
The results show each date but the count column ('total_posts') returns '1' for every row even when I know their are more than 1 record on that date.
I'm having a fight with Reporting Services at the minute when trying to compute an average at the row group level for a value summed in a column group.I have the following column groups:
Year Month Date
And the following row groups:
Region Product SubType (hidden, data at the date level is summed to Product)
At the moment I'm computing the average for SubType for each Date at the Product level (giving a decimal value), so for each day I end up with a nice average, that works. However I am unable to average that average over the whole Year for a Product. The issue being that I'm trying to combine Row Groups (Product) and Column Groups (Date/Year)
select top 15 count(*) as cnt, state from table group by state order by cnt desc

Can the above three queries be combined into one and still be fast, if so how?What i am trying to go is an item count, by group, similar to ones Inbox in Outlook.
It seems when I run the query with the set staticts IO on then statistic reports back with the 'work table', and the query takes 30+ sec. if the worktable is ommited(whatever the reason?) the query take less 1 sec.
Here is my take, I believe work table is created in tempdb...and if not then whole query is using the cached page, am I right?
if I am right then the theory is, if I increase the (via sp_configure) server min memory setting and min query memory, the query ought use the cached page and return in less 1 sec. (specially there is absolutely no one but me on the server), so far I can't make it go faster...what setting am I missing to make it run faster?
Another question is if the query can not avoid but use the tempdb, is it going to always be 30 sec+ time? why is tempdb involvement make it go so much slower?
Hello, I have a question on sql stored procedures. I have such a procedure, which returnes me rows with ID-s. Then in my asp.net page I make from that Id-s a string like
SELECT * FROM [eai.Documents] WHERE CategoryId=11 OR CategoryId=16 OR CategoryId=18.
My question is: Can I do the same in my stored procedure? (without sending it to page) Here is it:
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[eai.GetSubCategoriesById] ( @Id int ) AS declare @path varchar(100); SELECT @path=Path FROM [eai.FileCategories] WHERE Id = @Id; SELECT Id, ParentCategoryId, Name, NumActiveAds FROM [eai.FileCategories] WHERE Path LIKE @Path + '%' ORDER BY Path
fileCategories table: (for information)Here is the screenshot of the table (10 kb )http://eai.w2o.ru/screen1.gif

Given a table that has three columns that together create a key and two columns that together define NameValue pairs, how can the difference between instances of values be calculated and displayed?One table is used to contain periodic dumps of data from various sources. Because this is an early stage of development for the software project instead of having explicit columns that contain specific data the table contains name/value pairs. This allows the software to export anything to the database table. When this data is imported, earch row shares the same key (three columns containing a machine type, serial number and a timestamp), a name that identifies the data and a string that contains the actual data. While this arrangement makes it trivial to support the addition of any data that the software developers want to export, it makes it less obvious as to how to generate reports.Let's make an example. Lets assume that there are two vending machines, each of which has just 3 snacks and each of which generates two separate reports.
Type Sn Timestamp Name Value A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Snick 5 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Mars 10 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 MandM 0B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Snick 1 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Mars 9 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 MandM 0A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Snick 11 A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Mars 18
[code]...
So, the names of the values become the report's columns. The reports are sorted by timestamp, then by type, then by serial number.The value associated with the previous row that shares the same name is subtracted from the value of the next row in which the same name occurs and that becomes the displayed value in the report.
Currently I'm using a UDF and a physical temp table to accomplish thisand I want to know if there's any way of doing it in a query orsubquery instead...In TableA there are a bunch of rows:InvitationID (PK) PartyID Partygoer1 1 Jim2 20 Bob3 2 Frank4 1 Robert5 1 PeteIn TableB are rows:PartyID (PK) PartyDate PartyName1 1/1/2000 WildParty2 1/1/2000 BoringPartyWhen a user runs a query to search for all parties on 1/1/2000 I wantthe result to look like:PartyID PartyDate PartyName Partygoer1 1/1/2000 WildParty Jim, Robert, Pete2 1/1/2000 BoringParty FrankI'm hoping there's a solution to this.Thanks,lq
Hi, Can anybody tell how to ristrict the number of rows per page in SSRS? I have a table in my report.I know we have to use" =Int(RowNumber(Nothing)/25)" in group expression.But I already have 3 group expression in my table.Where to write?? Thanks.
i am getting the above error on my database i have 2 rows with the same info on and another 2 with the same info on. example:

I know this is a fault with ms sql 2005 however how do i fix it?
Ive found this link which explains everything but how do i start a query. I tried clicking on new query and copying the code. What is table1 meant to be? the database is dbl.tbl_admin. It wont find my database.

Currently I am running a SSIS package scheduled daily at 7 A.M. It expects two feed files from two different folders. The first step in my package will rename the input files in those folders to names which the package can understand. I have created two variables in my package to read the files with those file names. I used these variables in connection managers.
If any of these folders doesn't have input files when the package runs, the package will fail.how to make the package the run successfully even there is no input feed?
I am wondering if I can show the Excel window when the SQL server agent job runs. The SSIS package contains a script task that opens Excel and does some formatting. I just need to monitor the formatting of these Excel files.
Logic:ensure the Docket number is 5 digits and populate with leading zeros if not.I have to check input number field is 5 digits, if not I have to populate with leading zeros to make it as 5 digits.
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
Hi,I'm trying to build a query that get only one row from a group ofrows, but I need the values from that row and not the results of onefunction group.I need one row for each idRef, with column2=2 and the bigger column1id |idRef | column1 | column21 1 0 12 1 1 23 1 2 14 2 0 15 2 1 26 2 2 17 2 3 2For these, I will take the rows with id=2 and id=7.Thank you, and sory for my english.
Okay, I am sure this is an easy question, but for some reason I cannot wrap my brain around it. I have a table that has data similar to the following:
IPAddress VisitDate URLVisited
192.154.21.554 9/18/2007 http://www.microsoft.com
192.154.21.554 9/19/2007 http://www.google.com
164.21.124.23 9/19/2007 http://www.microsoft.com
192.154.21.554 9/20/2007 http://www.yahoo.com
What I am trying to do is use a select query to find the most recent visit per IP address (but I also want the other row data like URL visited). I have something like this that is finding the most recent visit per IP address:
SELECT IPAddress, MAX(VisitDate) AS MaxDateVisited FROM VisitorTable GROUP BY IPAddress
How do I also pull in the URL that is associated with the MAX date visited? Thank you!
Hi, I am trying to get the first row of what might be a group of any size of rows within an id that may contain a specific field. For eg
Row A = NoteID 1, FK_JobID 1, UnRead
Row B = NoteID 2, FK_JobID 1, UnRead
Row C = NoteID 3, FK_JobID 1, UnRead
I need the sql to return to just one Job (row) even though the job as 3 UnRead fields. But its returning 3 because its only doing what I'm asking. What I need it to do is just get the one Job (row) where any of the notes = UnRead.
I tried using Top 1, but that will only ever return one row and since I need it to return more than one job (row) it won't work.
Heres my attempt
DECLARE @UserID INT
SET @UserID = 4
SELECT User_Notes.BeenRead, Master_Jobs.By_Who, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Contact, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.JobID FROM User_Notes INNER JOIN Note ON User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID = Note.NoteID INNER JOIN Master_Jobs ON Note.FK_JobID = Master_Jobs.JobID
WHERE Note.FK_UserID = User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID AND BeenRead = 'UnRead'
