Is there a command at the CLI or in PowerShell that will list the components installed for SQL? I'm looking for something like the Feature List you can get from running the discovery report from Tools in the SQL Server Installation Center program option.
I'm running SQL Server 2012 on the CORE version of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
I am not very familiar with working with spatial data and I am currently trying to work out how to obtain some properties of a circle defined as a geometry data type. Specifically, I need to determine x and y co-ordinates for the centre point and the diameter of the circle.I have had a look at the MSDN reference for spatial data .
We are getting a security audit for the company I work for and got this question recently, and while my answer would be "everything is possible", I know that DIFFs alone can't restore a SQL database.
Having said that (and don't want to read hypothetical comments) how can a hacker read confidential information from an unencrypted DIFF backup? Let's say he steals the DIFF backup alone.
We have a customer that is running SQL2012 and we are seeing a weird result on a query when we run it on their db. It is based off of a table that has about 30 columns but in this case we only care about 2 of them.
[Number] [varchar](15) NOT NULL [Person_ID] [varchar](12) NULL
Here is the query we are doing: Select Number,Person_ID From TableName where LP='ABC123'
The result I get back is the following: Number:1 Person_ID:13864
The Person_ID should be a result of another table that created that Person_ID but it doesn't exist in that table. So we do not know where that 13864 is coming from. When we open that record through our application it shows Nothing for the Person_ID in that field.
When we do this query on our copy we get back Number:1 Person_ID:
Which is exactly what we should see as the result.
Could there be a sql server setting that is set on their server that could possibly be given us back 13864 for a NULL value?
I currently have data stored in a temporary table and I would like to transpose the data into a better format. I would like for the query to be dynamic since one of the tables currently has over 500 columns.
The attached file provides an example of the table structure along with sample data. Below the first set of data is the desired final format.
I'm trying to devise a query for use on SQL Server 2000 that will dowhat was previously done with one query in MS Access. The MS Accessquery was like this:SELECT Count(*) as [Opened],Abs(Sum([Status] Like 'Cancel*')) As [Cancelled]FROM Detail_Dir_LocVWhere (Detail_Dir_LocV.DateOpened > '2004-8-01') andStatus not like 'Deleted'Group By Year(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened)Order By Year(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened)Here were I'm at with SQL Server, TSQLSelect Right(Convert(Char (11), Min(DateOpened), 106), 8) as [MonthOpened],Count(Status) as [Opened]FROM Detail_Dir_LocVWhere (Detail_Dir_LocV.DateOpened > '2004-8-01') andStatus not like 'Deleted'Group By Year(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened) Order ByYear(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened)Which yieldsMonthOpened======================Aug 2004503Sep 2004752Oct 2004828Nov 2004658Dec 2004533Jan 2005736Feb 2005707Mar 2005797Apr 2005412AndSelect Right(Convert(Char (11), Min(DateOpened), 106), 8) as [MonthOpened],Count(Status) as [Cancelled]FROM Detail_Dir_LocVWhere (Detail_Dir_LocV.DateOpened > '2004-8-01') andStatus like 'Cancelled%'Group By Year(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened) Order ByYear(DateOpened), Month(DateOpened)Which yields;MonthCancelled=========================Aug 200478Sep 2004105Oct 2004121Nov 2004106Dec 200475Jan 200582Feb 200571Mar 200594Apr 200533What is desired isMonthOpenedCancelled============================Aug 200450378Sep 2004752105Oct 2004828121Nov 2004658106Dec 200453375Jan 200573682Feb 200570771Mar 200579794Apr 200541233Any assistance would be appreciated.Cheers;Bill
I'm using SQL 2012 express.. and just recently learned how to code.
I wrote a query and keep receiving this error...
Error converting data type varchar to float.
here's the query code
SELECT SUM(cast(lc as float)) FROM [dbo].[LaborCosts] WHERE ppty = 'ga' AND PL = 'allctd ktchn expns' AND ACCT like 'payroll%'
I am trying to sum up the values in column LC, and realized I have unnecessary quotations marks. How can I eliminate the quotations from the column, and only query the numerical values?
I have the following query that displays 2 values. I want to add a column with the percentage ([Providers With Security]
/ProviderTotal) * 100 SELECT (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT NPI) FROM HS140_Rpt_Tmp_ForSummary WHERE Market = s.Market) AS ProviderTotal,COUNT(DISTINCT NPI) AS [Providers With Security] FROM HS140_Rpt_Tmp_ForSummary s WHERE s.[Security] = 'Yes' GROUP BY Market
Hi to all, is my first post, i need a query or script to obtain all users and privileges from all my databases, someone to help me. I'm learning Administration SQL server 2005.
I know that sys.database_principals and sys.server_principals have information about that, but i need users - privileges of every database.
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005 Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies different number of layers within a hierarchy select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies: Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country) Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all") (WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.
The following query returns a value of 0 for the unit percent when I do a count/subquery count. Is there a way to get the percent count using a subquery? Another section of the query using the sum() works.
Here is a test code snippet:
--Test Count/Count subquery
declare @Date datetime
set @date = '8/15/2007'
select -- count returns unit data Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) as PTCnt, -- count returns total for all units
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date) as TotalCnt, -- attempting to calculate the percent by PTCnt/TotalCnt returns 0 (Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) /
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date)) as AUPct -- main select
from tblVGD1_Master m
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v on m.SlotNum_ID = v.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m.Denom_ID <> 9
and v.Act = 1 and m.Active = 1 and v.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v.MnyPlyd = v.MnyWon and v.ActWin = 0)
and v.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date
I have one database with several tables in it (table 1, table2, table3). In each table is two colums (colum1 = a number (201220) and colum2 = a number (0.50). Now, both tables will have rows with the same data in colum 1, but colum two will have different numbers (different prices). My goal is to run a query that will compare both colums in all three tables, take the lower of the three based on colum 2 and spit out the row. Obviously, this would output all rows (around 175k). The point is to create a least cost spreadsheet (csv) file based on evaluating all three tables.
When creating a column store index, are there any reasons not to include all columns, besides index size of course? i.e. will the index be more versatile with more columns or should I treat it exactly like its a standard index, putting only necessary columns, in the correct order?
I am working on a migration project and need to derive the total length of the columns for a particular table. I have the following query designed for the same:
select t.name, sum(c.max_length) from sys.all_columns c join sys.all_objects t on t.object_id = c.object_id where t.name='test_1' group by t.name ;
This query gives me correct results except for data types varchar(max), nvarchar and xml for which the max_length is stored as -1 which causes my results to be incorrect when summed up. Is there any other way to find out the maximum data length for such type of columns?
I have a query that I'm filtering using Customer ID, CustomerID = '12345', even though I need the query to filter that data, I don't need to see that column in my results. I tried removing it from my Select Distinct group but I'm guessing it needs to be there or the filter won't work(like I said, very green). Is there something that I can add to hide this column?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
Trying to get the PSI Outcome, Expected, and PSIIndex every month whether it has data or not. Created a CTE and left outer joined with PSI table, but it's still not pulling every month for every PSIKey.
I am trying to tune a process that is running slowly. I analyzed the process using the Database Engine Tuning Advisor, and it recommended the creation of 3 indexes, all non-clustered:
1) ColA, include ColB 2) ColA, include ColC 3) ColA, include ColD
So... I created a single non-clustered index on:
4) ColA, include ColB, ColC, ColD
That should do the same thing, right? A look at my execution plan shows that the index I created is being scanned -- 3 times. What is puzzling me, though, is that the Database Engine Tuning Advisor is still recommending I create these 3 separate indexes, even with the index (4) that I created in existence.
If it matters, ColA, ColB, ColC and ColD are all int FKs.
Right now I have to do something like this and it is time consuming every time I have to query a specific table...
SELECT lots_of_columns FROM table WHERE (column5 = '1' OR column6 = '1' OR column7 = '1' OR column8 = '1' OR column9 = '1' OR column10 = '1' OR column11 = '1' OR column12 = '1') AND other_query_critiera_here
Typing out the OR statement gets long, time consuming and prone to errors because that first where line with all the ORs can sometimes have 20+ ORs in it. As some insight, the columns are text columns, sometimes they have data, sometimes they are NULL. Sometimes they have the same data (i.e., column5 and column6 and column12 could both have '1' as values).
I have a large SQL 2012 table containing survey details. The number of questions vary in each survey and can range in number from as little as 10 questions to a maximum of 50.I need to adapt my crosstab code below to include a CASE statement that outputs a column (Q1, Q2, Q3 etc) representing the questions up to a maximum 50 questions (Q50) and to place the answer under the corresponding question column within each survey. Ideally I want to avoid having to write 50 CASE statements in my code. I chose the CASE statement method as I understand that the PIVOT option isn't as flexible,I have included some test data and the output should look like this:
Table A has day to day transactions, Table B has beginning balance. I'd like to get a running total balance day to day. Really what I want to do is use the previous days total to add the current days transaction to, but I don't know how to do it. The basic layout is below, but as you can see, I'm not getting the totals correct.
create table #current(acctNum int, dates date, transtype char(10), amt INT ) insert into #current(acctNum, dates, transtype, amt)
I have a table. I want to add 2 date columns. One when we are inserting any record it will show and another whenever the record updated to record that.
I want to insert dummy data for the previous dates. How to insert those dummy dates in batch wise?
We have the below query that pulls benefit ids for employees but it will show each benefit on a separate row but we would like to have just one rows for the employee and columns for each of the benefits.
