SQL 2012 :: Dumping Fields In A Single Column Of Database?
Apr 3, 2014
While working with a vast variety of support projects, i find a sql design where all the fields in a single form (say about 100 fields which are dump data as they are not related to any reports and searching criteria) are dumped in a sql database column in a XML format. See below an example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><FormBuilder><ClientID>0</ClientID><SiteID>0</SiteID><IncidentType></IncidentType><IncidentCategory></IncidentCategory><IncidentSubCategory></IncidentSubCategory><CreatedBy>2</CreatedBy><CreatedOn>Wednesday, April 02, 2014</CreatedOn><ModifiedOn /><ModifiedBy /><Section SectionID="ASD" SectionDisplayName="ASD" ColumnType="1" IsDeleted="0" SectionPosition="1"><SectionField FieldName="Bro" Section="ASD" ModuleID="0" Length="" PickData="" ChkData="" RadioData="" ListData="" FieldType="Text" Checked="false" ColumnType="1" IsDeleted="0" CoulmnOrder="0" FieldID="1" IsPrimary="" IsMandatory="" SystemMandatory="" RowPosition="1" FullRow="" /></Section></FormBuilder>
Just want to know the comments how far is this design feasible.....
What are the pros and cons of such a design...
Where we should use such type of db design where are the fields are dumped in a single column...

I have the following result set but I want to stack or transpose the 3 fields into a single column. I may add more fields later, but right now I want to know what's the best and simplest way.
Current result set:
TotalAllCustomersOnFile | TotalConsumersWithValidEmail | TotalConsumersWithValidEmailAndOptedIn
2,500 1,750 1,500
Desired result set:
Audience | Totals
----------------------------------------------------
TotalAllCustomersOnFile | 2,500
TotalConsumersWithValidEmail | 1,750
TotalConsumersWithValidEmailAndOptedIn | 1,500

Hi all,
I am developing an application for a big office which uses SQL Server 2000.
Apart from my database, on that server, there are two databases by other companies.
The administrator also has access to server but the client only wants him to backup the database.
I have two questions:
1) First of all (if it is possible) I would like to protect my own database from the other companies.
I don't want them to:
see the data in the tables (around 20 tables)
make changes to the stored procedures (more than 100 stored procedures)
be able to backup the database
2) The client will save sensitive data to the database (mainly currency amounts, salaries etc) which he wants to keep hidden.
I am using float type for these fields and I would like to make the data encrypted. I could do it for nvarchar fields but changing these float to nvarchar would be time consuming.
Thanks for your patience reading this!
Would really appreciate some help on any of these
Nicolas

I have two tables table1 and table2 and having a common column "col1"
When i ran the following query
UPDATE table1, table2 SET col1=FALSE WHERE id = 1;
getting the following error
Error Code: 1052 Column 'col1' in field list is ambiguous
id column exist in both the tables and need to update both the tables to false where the id is equivalent to 1.

writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.

where including/excluding a single column in an empty staging table would influence a resultset returning from distributed query? Both servers are SQL Server 2012. Nothing special about the staging table. It contains 12 columns with a mixture of INT and NVARCHAR(256) columns. In one case I exclude the column and the query returns in 17 seconds. When I include it the query does not return. Excluding the INSERT INTO the staging table and query returns in 17 secs with and without the column.

My site is hosted with 1and1. They tell me I need to dump my SQL database before uploading it to their site. I have never done this before. I have looked in the online help and have asked them for help, but nothing seems to work. I've tried queries like the following:DUMP DATABASE dbname TO DISK = 'C:folderfilename'It tells me it doesn't recognize "dbname", which is the name of the MDF file (without the ".mdf" extension). So I'm not sure what I should be using for database name.I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Can someone help me with dumping my database? Thanks!

We have a particular database sat on SQL Server 2012 box along with about 20 other databases.
What I require is a method/Script/Audit that will simply track anyone who logs (successfully / unsuccessful) into this one particular database on the server (The single database is the key as the end user does not want information on any of the other databases that sit on the server), it also has to log time the attempt was made and it must track the logins via SQL Server or the application itself that is attached to the database.

I am executing a stored procedure in one database (Database1) that pulls data from another database (Database2) that is the back end for a third party application. Some of the fields in that other database are now encrypted. I need to decrypt those fields but since the query is running in a database other than where the data lives (which is also where the symmetric key + cert lives), I am getting the following error: "Cannot find the symmetric key" Below is an example of what I am running in the stored procedure:
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY [XXXXKey] DECRYPTION
BY CERTIFICATE [XXXX_CERT];
select CONVERT(Varchar(50), DECRYPTBYKEY( <ENCRYPTED FIELD> ))
FROM Database2.dbo.TABLE1
CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY [XXXXKey];
What do I need to add to Database1 so the stored procedure can decrypt the data it pulls from Database2?

Doing a data migration from one CRM to another and need to get a listing of all entities in current CRM, together with fields and field types. OK, I got the XRMToolBox which gives me that, but I'm hoping there is a sql tool out there that will do the same, plus give me a count on each field of the number of entries in that field in the database.

If I have a database table with the following columns:
ID
Other_ID
Description
And I want to join the two ID fields to one field in another table that contains the following fields:
ID
Name
How would i do that?
Here is some sample data and what I would like returned
TABLE1
ID Other_ID Description
row 1 1 2 Number1
row 2 3 1 Number2
TABLE2
ID Name
row 1 1 John
row 2 2 Bob
row 3 3 Bill
I want to query TABLE1, row 1 so that I pull back the Names for the values stored in the ID and Other_ID fields so that my results are like:
John Bob Number1
The only way around it now is that I store Other_Name in Table1.
Thanks.

I have a very complex (for me, anyway) data transformation problem.
I've been given a flat-file of physician data from another system which must be automated for entry into the SQL server on a regular basis.
This was no problem until we discovered that several fields (all of which we wanted to use) had multiple pieces of information in them, separated by semicolons.
Well, this didn't seem to be too big of a problem, so I wrote a DTS activeX script to handle it. This is what I originally wrote:
'*******************
Function Transform()
'Declare variables
Dim strOffice
Dim strOfficeNew
Dim cChar
Dim x
Dim y
Dim z
'Scrub values into new rows
strOffice = DTSSource("Col050")
x = 1
y = len(strOffice)
z = 1
While x <= y
cChar = Mid(strOffice, x 1)
If cChar <> ";" Then
strOfficeNew = strOfficeNew & cChar
Else
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
strOfficeNew = ""
z = z + 1
End If
x = x + 1
Wend
'Insert final record after last semicolon
If strOffice <> "" Then
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
End If
Transform = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
'*********************
This, of course, didn't work. WHat I got was the last part of the parsed data, which for the first record, was the second Address in the field.
I searched around, and found the following script that is supposed to allow multiple rows off of a single row, but I can't seem to merge the two and still get the data out clean.
'**********
Dim nCounter
nCounter = 4
Function Main()
if nCounter > 0 then
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipFetch
DTSDestination("PatientNumber") = DTSSource("PatientNumber") Select Case nCounter
Case 1
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Admitting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AdmittingPhysician")
Case 2
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Attending" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AttendingPhysician")
Case 3
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Referring" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ReferringPhysician")
Case 4
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Consulting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ConsultingPhysician")
End Select
nCounter = nCounter - 1
else
nCounter = 4
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert
end if
End Function
'**************
I'm not a VB Script expert, so there's probably something very simple that I'm missing here... if someone could point it out, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Hi there
I have loaded a csv file into a table. Some fields within the file contain a varying number (up to 10) of subfields seperated by line feed characters.
It looks sort of like this
Customer No. Payments Dates
111 pay1|pay2|pay3 dat1|dat2|dat3
I created an Unpivot transformation, and I got
Customer No. Description Detail
111 Payments pay1|pay2|pay3
111 Dates dat1|dat2|dat3
After a Derived Column transformation I got
Customer No. Description Line1 Line2 Line3
111 Payments pay1 pay2 pay3
111 Dates dat1 dat2 dat3
But what I really want is to end up with this:
Customer No. Payments Dates
111 pay1 dat1
111 pay2 dat2
111 pay3 dat3
Is there a transformation that will get me there, or do I just need some cunning SQL?
I tried to Pivot my way back to happiness but I couldn't get it to work

GPS,
Since you have such a dependency on dates and date calculations, you should implement a calendar table. A calendar table will make calculation such as this much more simplistic.
Calendar table link http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/why-should-i-consider-using-an-auxiliary-calendar-table.html.
Note the calendar table I use is a little different than this one. The only thing you will need to change is isodate to dt.
Now the code to get the results you need:
Code Snippet
declare @t table(
id int,
fname char(4),
Start_Date datetime,
End_Date datetime,
val_holiday int
)
insert into @t values (111, 'aaaa', '3/15/2008', '03/21/2008', 1 )
insert into @t values (222, 'bbbb', '05/2/2008', '05/9/2008', 3)
insert into @t values (333, 'cccc', '04/3/2008', '05/15/2008', 4)
insert into @t values (333, 'cccc', '04/29/2008', '07/07/2008', 1 )
select id, fname, cal.ISODate, val_holiday
from @t t1
inner join Calendar cal
on cal.isodate >= t1.start_date and
cal.ISODate <= t1.end_date
is possible to do it

I have a database that is the publisher in transactional replication and also part of an availability group. I have put the pertinent certificates on all of the involved servers, and it is encrypted on all servers and operated as expected. However, we are adding additional security for personal data and we have targeted columns in multiple tables for column encryption. I have a master key and certificates that are stored in the master database. Following an example where I am to create the database master key:
-- Create database Key
USE encrypt_test;
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Password123';
GO
But when I try to create a certificate on the database:
-- Create self signed certificate
USE encrypt_test;
GO
CREATE CERTIFICATE Certificate1
WITH SUBJECT = 'Protect Data';
GO
It get the following:
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find the certificate 'Certificate1', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Can I add a database certificate to an already TDE enabled database and if not to I create the symmetric key through the certificate located on the master database? And how will that effect decrypting the column values in stored procedures and function on the user database?

I have a set of data spread across a number of tables regarding stock market data. An example of this follows:
Market Capitalization...
Date CompA CompB
01/01/11 100 5
02/01/11 102 4
Share Price....
Date CompA CompB
01/01/11 100 100
02/01/11 101 99
Event Data...
Date Company
01/01/11 CompA
02/01/11 CompB
Pretty simply, I need a way to retrieve the market capitalisation and share price data based on the event data. So for instance I say 'oh, there is an event on the 01/01/11 involving company A, the market capitalisation on this day was 100, then for the next event it was 4 for company B.
I can also transpose the data so that the company name is in the rows and the dates in the columns for the market cap and share price tables, but this leads to the issue that when I try and get the data, I don't know how to query the correct company for that date.
For instance:
SELECT Event.Date, Event.Company
FROM Event
how do I now say.....
SELECT MarketCapitalisation.Column
WHERE Column = Event.Company
AND MarketCapitalisation.Date = Event.Date.
I have played around with a few basic joins, but I am having issue with the principle of that second to last line of SQL (so only getting the correct column).
I still have a copy of the data in excel so can flip things around as needed, but that would only mean that I would have the issue of WHERE Column = Event.Date instead of Event.Company.

Hi,Would like to know the performance differenece between Multi-columnIndex vs Single Column Indexes. Let's say I have a table with col1,col2, col3 along with a primary key column and non-indexed columns.In queries, I will use col1, col2, and col3 together and some timesjust one or two of these three columns. My questions is, should Icreate one index contains col1, col2, and col3, or create 3 seperatedcolumns. I.e. each column has its own index. Any performancedifference?Thanks a lot.
