SQL Select Performance Question
Jul 12, 2004
I have only been working with sql server for sever months so I would consider myself a novice.
I am trying to return 3 different datasets from the same query information.
for example a person will do a search for articles on "flowers red annuals"
I first want to return a datase with item details. Name of book, copyright, author etc...
I then want to populate 2 drop down lists to help narrow down the search
1. Article type
Newspaper(count)
Magazine(count)
Hardback Book(count)
Softback book(count)
Etc...
2. Publisher
Publisher A(count)
Publisher B(count)
Publisher C(count)
etc....
I am currently running 3 separate stored procedures against the master file to return this data.
1. select ... for the detail
2. Select ...count() group by for the other 2
Is there a better way to get this information without having to run the query 3 times?
Is there a way to run the (select..group by) against initial detail information to populate the 2 drop down controls.
Is there a way to return more that one dataset of information from one stroed procedure?
Because the data source has millions of records I would assume that this is inefficient or does it matter?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a problem where my users complain that a select statement takes too long, at 90 seconds, to read 120 records out of a database.
The select statement reads from 9 tables three of which contain 1000000 records, the others contain between 100 and 250000 records.
I have checked that each column in the joins are indexed - they are (but some of them are clustered indexes, not unclustered).
I have run the SQL Profiler trace from the run of the query through the "Database Engine Tuning Advisor". That just suggested two statistics items which I added (no benefit) and two indexes for tables that are not involved at all in the query (I didn't add these).
I also ran the query through the Query window in SSMS with "Include Actual Execution Plan" enabled. This showed that all the execution time was being taken up by searches of the clustered indexes.
I have tried running the select with just three tables involved, and it completes fast. I added a fourth and it took 7 seconds. However there was no WHERE clause for the fourth table, so I got a cartesian product which might have explained the problem.
So my question is: Is it normal for such a type of read query to take 90 seconds to complete?
Is there anything I could do to speed it up.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a table which when i execute a select statement the execution lucks performance. The table currently has 1000 rows.
Table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Listings](
[ListingID] [int] NOT NULL,
[UserID] [int] NOT NULL,
[NodeID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Title] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[Description] [varchar](500) NOT NULL,
[Keywords] [varchar](200) NOT NULL,
[URL] [varchar](150) NOT NULL,
[DateSubmited] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Even a simple sql statement without any where clause will take 3 seconds to execute.
select LISTINGID, TITLE, DESCRIPTION from listings
Is there anyway to improve that?
Thanks in advance.

I have a table of products which contains a parent-child hierarchy (a self-relationship, creating a built-in recursive structure using a foreign key). The point is: I must create a query that shows only products which are not parents. I can achieve this using a "not in" or a "full join".
Can anybody tell me which of the 2 below is the best option, and why?
Code Snippet
SELECT ProductID
FROM CRP.Product
WHERE ProductID NOT IN
(SELECT ProductFatherID FROM CRP.Product WHERE ProductFatherID is not NULL)
Execution plan:
Select (cost 0%) <--- Merge join (25%) <--- Clustered index scan (54%)
^--- Stream aggregate (1%) <--- Index seek (19%)
Code SnippetSELECT
PC.ProductID
FROM -- Product Child
CRP.Product PC
FULL JOIN -- Product Parent
(SELECT ProductFatherID ProductID
FROM CRP.Product
WHERE ProductFatherID is not NULL) PP ON (PC.ProductID = PP.ProductID)
WHERE
PP.ProductID is NULL
Execution plan:
Select (cost 0%) <--- Filter (2%) <--- Merge join (29%) <--- Clustered index scan (51%)
^--- Compute scalar (0%) <--- index seek (18%)

I want to determine the performance impact caused by the extensive use of the 'select into #' statement in a production environment. The current situation is that our reports team extensively uses the 'select into #' statement to build smaller subsets of data. These subsets are then used as the basis to create summary style reports and exports. All this is accomplished via the use of SQL pass-through.
After these reports/exports are completed and tested, they are then released to our operations department and the users. The reports/exports then can be run against the production server at the discretion of the user, provided they have the appropriate permissions. These reports/exports target the live data on the primary production server that already has been designated for the use of the application software.
Now I know that reporting against a transactional-based server, where the users run the application, is not a very good idea. (Inherited) I am currently migrating all reports/exports to a reporting server. Although it will still be transaction-based, the reports/exports will be isolated from user activity. Eventually we will be moving toward a warehouse scenario.
I also know that the extensive use of the 'select into #' statement is not a coding practice for use in production. I provided several alternatives to this practice
1) insert..select 2) insert..execute - from stored procedure
I have read that in the in sql 6.5 that this may cause severe performance and locking behaviors in system db's and tempdb. However, in the following document on the Microsoft Knowledge Base, it indicates that SQL 7.0 may have corrected this issue.
Q153441 - FIX SELECT INTO Locking Behavior.htm
Despite the indication of being corrected, I am still not convinced. I am frequently seeing drastic performance hits, especially when several of the reports are running. (which is very common) My concern is that moving these reports/exports to a reporting server may save the users; I believe that it may be migrating the problem to another location. I will be working with the developers to optimize their code and will investigate index issues.
** To make a long story short. I would like someone who has experience with this provide me with the top 5+ reasons not to use the 'select into #' methodology in a production environment. Further, if anyone has any documentation, I would surely like the info.
Thanks, Dave

We use an ASP/MS SQL 2000 system to send out our mass e-mailing to about 3,500 subscribers (and the list is growing). There are some duplicate entries in the DB and I was thinking about using this code
SELECT DISTINCT email FROM Subscribers
to remove the duplicates (at least until we can get around to cleaning up the data and then putting up new subscriber form to prevent duplicate entries).
I was wondering, though... Will this have a significant impact on our performance? I mean, that's a lot of e-mail addresses to process and I don't want to bog our system down unnecessarily.
What do you performance gurus think?

I am running SQL 2000 SP4. I have a stored procedure which calls a function in an update statement. Previously, this SP which is pretty intensive and used to build a report would run in appox 10 minutes. Now it is taking 3 hours to execute. I have tracked the performance issue to the function. The function is taking 3 to 4 seconds to execute for each row and it is updating 2,600 rows.
I am including the select statement causing problems.
SELECT TOP 1
@m_ECodeMsg = tev.BillMsg
FROM tblUsageHistoryDetail tuhd
INNER JOIN tblMeterReadEcode tmre
ON tmre.MeterReadID = tuhd.CurrentMeterREadID
INNER JOIN tblUsageHistory tuh
ON tuh.UsageHistoryID = tuhd.UsageHistoryID
INNER JOIN tblTran tt
ON tt.TranID = tuh.TranID AND tt.ServiceLocationID = tuh.ServiceLocationID
INNER JOIN tblServiceLocation tsl
ON tsl.ServiceLocationID = tt.ServiceLocationID
INNER JOIN tblRateUsage tru
ON tru.RateID = tsl.RateID
INNER JOIN tblECodeValue tev
ON tev.ECodeValueID = tmre.ECodeValueID AND tev.ECodeTypeID = tmre.ECodeTypeID
WHERE tt.StatementID = @i_StatementID AND tru.AltServiceID = tsl.ServiceID
AND tt.TranTypeID = 2 AND tev.ECodeTypeID = 6
The function has been in use for over a year and SP4 has been installed on this server for serveral months now. If I run this on an old box with SP3a it runs fine. I have rewrote the statement without the "TOP 1" and execution of the function is less than 1 sec.
Any ideas as to why my performance has taken such a hit?

Hello -- thank you for taking the time to read this.
I have a very large table that is used both for archives and new information. To get the current information, the table is queried by many different users at various polling periods. The SELECT required includes about fifteen JOINS, and only returns about 200 rows at any given time.
So I got to thinking if it might be faster to periodically run the big query as a SELECT INTO into a smaller table and letting the polling clients query the smaller table with SELECT *. Periodically, the smaller table would be DROPPED and refereshed with another SELECT INTO.
Trouble is, the data would have to be updated once every 30 seconds, and there are inbound polls coming at the rate of about 200 per minute. It got me to thinking what might happen if a client attemtped to query the smaller table when it was in the process of being dropped and refilled.
So my question is three-part:
1) assuming a larger table of about 500,000 records and only 500 pertinent at any given time, is there any real potential of performance enhancement by switching to a SELECT INTO table?
2) if so, is there a chance of a client failing a query if the inbound query somehow collides with the DROP/SELECT INTO procedure?
3) if so, is there any way to prevent it or a better way of doing this?
Thanks again for reading, and in advance for any help you can provide. I apologize if I sound like a dummy - it's hard to fake intelligence!

Select Top 10000 * From Table
OR
Set rowcount 10000

I've just inherited a system and have some concerns about the speed ofconnections to a remote server (SQL2000). If I do a simple selectstatement on the table below, it takes 14 minutes to retrive 6 millionrows across a 2Mb line. Obviously it's a reasonable amount of data toretrieve, but I would have thought this would be quicker if I'm honest.Run locally, this is 50 seconds.My thoughts are that there may be some issues with our connection (weget general network errors sporadically, which are being looked at),but wanted some thoughts if the performance is acceptable for what itis doing with what is available. I don't think there is a SQL issue,but want to check if this sounds about right.It's early days, so I'm after a general impression of the speed ofretrieval for the amount of data on the available bandwidth. Assuming abest performance scenario, what is the minimum time it should take as abest guess ?ThanksRyanCREATE TABLE [FIELD_VALUES] ([DEALER_DATA_ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[FIELD_CODE] [varchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOTNULL ,[FIELD_VALUE] [numeric](15, 5) NULL ,[CHANGED_TYPE] [int] NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_FIELD_VALUES] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([DEALER_DATA_ID],[FIELD_CODE]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GO

Hi.
We are now working with SQL2000sp4, planning migration to SQL2005 in few months though.
I've faced performance issues with large tables (200-500 mln rows, 50-100Gb of data+indexes)
New data are uploaded into tables once a day, around 1mln rows. Thats the only time of inserting data, during daytime tables are used for SELECTs only.
The problem that daily INSERTs are taking too much time now, because of rebuilding few indexes for the table.
I noticed that partitioning solution looks like solving this problem well. So i splitted master data table into 4 tables:
old master table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTB] (
[report_date] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,
[param] [char] (10) COLLATE Cyrillic_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[param_value1] [decimal](18, 2) NULL ,
[param_value2] [decimal](18, 2) NULL ,
[param_value3] [smallint] NULL
)
CREATE INDEX [IX_DTB_DT_ACC] ON [dbo].[DTB]([report_date], [param])
new partition1:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1] (
[report_date] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,
[param] [char] (10) COLLATE Cyrillic_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[param_value1] [decimal](18, 2) NULL ,
[param_value2] [decimal](18, 2) NULL ,
[param_value3] [smallint] NULL ,
CONSTRAINT [CK_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1_report_date] CHECK ([report_date] >= '2007-Jan-01' and [report_date] <= '2007-Mar-31')
)
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1_report_date_param] ON [dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1]([report_date], [param])
Similar are definitons for other partitions - q2, q3 and q4.
And here is partitioned view itself:
create view dbo.data_DTB
as
select * from dbo.be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1
union all
select * from dbo.be_data_DTB_part_2007_q2
union all
select * from dbo.be_data_DTB_part_2007_q3
union all
select * from dbo.be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4
I want users to access data SELECTing from view data_DTB, while I perform daily inserts right into be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4.
In general, this solution works well. For example:
Code Block
set statistics profile on
go
select * from data_DTB where report_date = '2007-Apr-16'
go
set statistics profile off
go
1290674 1 SELECT * FROM [data_DTB] WHERE [report_date]=@1
1290674 1 |--Concatenation
0 1 |--Filter(WHERE:(STARTUP EXPR(Convert([@1])<='Mar 31 2007 12:00AM' AND Convert([@1])>='Jan 1 2007 12:00AM')))
0 0 | |--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1].[idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1_report_date_param]), SEEK:([be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1].[report_date]=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)
1290674 1 |--Filter(WHERE:(STARTUP EXPR(Convert([@1])<='Jun 30 2007 12:00AM' AND Convert([@1])>='Apr 1 2007 12:00AM')))
1290674 1 | |--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q2].[idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q2_report_date_param]), SEEK:([be_data_DTB_part_2007_q2].[report_date]=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)
0 1 |--Filter(WHERE:(STARTUP EXPR(Convert([@1])<='Sep 30 2007 12:00AM' AND Convert([@1])>='Jul 1 2007 12:00AM')))
0 0 | |--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q3].[idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q3_report_date_param]), SEEK:([be_data_DTB_part_2007_q3].[report_date]=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)
0 1 |--Filter(WHERE:(STARTUP EXPR(Convert([@1])<='Dec 31 2007 12:00AM' AND Convert([@1])>='Oct 1 2007 12:00AM')))
0 0 |--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4].[idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4_report_date_param]), SEEK:([be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4].[report_date]=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)
As far as i see it checks filter parameter fitting CHECK constraint for each partition. Then it peforms clustered index seek for partition actually containing data and avoids using 3 other partitions. Thats great! This example just illustraits that partitioning actually works for me.
Unfortunately, there is another query with just awful performance on partitions comparing to single table. Lets try to get few rows entered last day:
Code Block
set showplan_text on
go
select top 10 * from DTB order by report_date desc
go
set showplan_text off
go
|--Top(10)
|--Bookmark Lookup(BOOKMARK:([Bmk1000]), OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[DTB]))
|--Index Scan(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[DTB].[IX_DTB_DT_ACC]), ORDERED BACKWARD)
Excellent! It runs just for only few seconds. But using partitions:
Code Block
set showplan_text on
go
select top 10 * from data_DTB order by report_date
go
set showplan_text off
go
|--Top(10)
|--Merge Join(Concatenation)
|--Merge Join(Concatenation)
| |--Merge Join(Concatenation)
| | |--Sort(ORDER BY:([be_data_ DTB_part_2007_q1].[report_date] ASC, [be_data_ DTB_part_2007_q1].[param] ASC, [be_data_DTB_part_2007_q1].[param_value1] ASC, [be_data_ DTB_part_2007_q1].[param_value2] ASC, [be_

|--Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([MYDB].[dbo].[be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4].[idc_be_data_DTB_part_2007_q4_report_date_param]))
As one can see that€™s just awful . When I make graphical execution plan with Ctrl+L it says costs for Sort operations are thousands. I didn€™t run this query to check statistics profile, because on our server it will run for hours.
I found a topic regarding this problem: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1270479&SiteID=17
Mostafa Elhemali describes exactly my problem in the last post. I also though that getting top 10 * from partitioned view shouldn€™t be a problem €“ it€™s quite obvious just to grab top 10 from each partition and then find top 10 amongst them. Looks like it doesn€™t work this way though.
So the question is. Is there any new workarounds for this problem? Or maybe it is already solved in latest patches for SQL2005? I know that SQL2005 introduces new way of partitioning tables, maybe the problem will go if using SQL2005 partitioned tables instead of oldstyle partitioned views?
Thank you.
p.s. Upon reviewing my post i noticed that issued ORDER BY report_date DESC against unpartitioned table, and ORDER BY report_date against partitioned view. Well, specifying ORDER BY report_date DESC for partitioned view gives similar results, except for few ASCs are replaced with DESCs.

the cursor at the bottom  iterates only to print the number of rows.The problem is in the select. This takes 30 seconds to iterate through 1242 records.But if I add a TOP 1000000 or whatever number to the select, the same iteration takes less than a 1 second.I've tested each query without cursor, and  both have the same cost and performance. (Not exactly the same plan)Note that I got the same performance improvement declaring the cursor as STATIC.Why the top is affecting the cursor iteration so much?
Declare @query varchar(512)
DECLARE Itera CURSOR --LOCAL STATIC READ_ONLY FORWARD_ONLY
FOR
select --TOP 1000000

For some reasons I need to access the same field of the same table twice in a query, and each give out a diferrent valueLike this:"SELECT myTable.id, myTable1.id as subID FROM myTable INNER JOIN ... INNER JOIN myTable as myTable1 ..."The question is, when I write it as myTable as myTable1 will it affect the query performance if myTable is a large table? will it create another so big copy of myTable? or I should create a view like "CREATE VIEW myTable1 AS SELECT id FROM myTable" to reduce the side of myTable1?Thank you.

Hello,
I have the following queries that run on a view called EntrySummary:
1)
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [dbo].[EntrySummary] WHERE [EntrySummary].[SubmissionStatusID] = @SubmissionStatusID0 AND [EntrySummary].[CreatedBy] = @CreatedBy1',N'@SubmissionStatusID0 int,@CreatedBy1 nvarchar(20)',@SubmissionStatusID0=4,@CreatedBy1=N'domainaperson'
2)
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [dbo].[EntrySummary] WHERE [EntrySummary].[CreatedBy] = @CreatedBy1 AND [EntrySummary].[SubmissionStatusID] = @SubmissionStatusID0',N'@SubmissionStatusID0 int,@CreatedBy1 nvarchar(20)',@SubmissionStatusID0=4,@CreatedBy1=N'domainaperson'
(The only difference between the two queries being the order of the where clauses)
Both return the correct answer (4144), but Query 2 takes 10-15 seconds whereas Query 1 takes < second.
If the same query is resubmitted several times, this doesn't affect the times.
(The vast majority of the records have a status of 4, but only about 3% will be created by the person).
Replacing Count(1) with count(*) makes both queries return quickly.
Is sp_executesql creating poor execution plans ? Can anyone explain this behaviour?
Regards,
AndyM

I have encountered a problem with a specific set of tables. The same select yields slightly differing execution plans in two different environments (instances). But the slight variation seems to contain a huge differences in stats. I don't know the significance of these stats. The two tables have the exact same indices.
This is the selcet statement:
SELECT 'xx' FROM DUKS.dbo.Profiler
WHERE DNA_Løbenummer IN
(SELECT DNA_Løbenummer FROM DUKS.dbo.Effektregister
WHERE Sagsnummer = '2015-00002')

Hi All,
I 'm working to improve some sql performance.
One of the major syntax inside the SELECT statment is ..
WHERE FIELDA IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='A') AND
WHERE FIELDB IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='B') AND
WHERE FIELDC IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='C') AND
WHERE FIELDD IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='D') AND
WHERE FIELDE IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='E') AND
WHERE FIELDF IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='F')
(It's to compare the field content with some user input parameter inside a parameter table... )
I think properly is that the SELECT ... IN is causing much slowness in the sql statement. I have indexed FIELDA , FIELDB, FILEDC etc and those PARAVALUE and PARATYPE in the PARATABLE table. But perfromance is still slow and execution takes >20 seconds for 200000 rows of records.
Do any one know if still any chance to improvide the performance like this?
Much Thanks,
Andy

1. Use mssql server agent service to take the schedule
2. Use a .NET windows service with timers to call SqlClientConnection
above, which way would be faster and get a better performance?

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3.

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server witha particular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return100 rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query insingle user mode. So I tested the query on the Development server bytaking a backup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the devserver. I ran the same query and found that it ran in less than asecond.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue isrelated to some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc.Or could it be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQLServer configuations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4.

Hello all,
I have two mult-value parameters in my report. Both of them working with selecting one or more values. But, when I test using "(Select All)" values for both parameters , only one parameter works. The "available values" for these two parameters are both from the data set.
select distinct ProductType
from Product
order by ProductType
Any suggestion? thx

Hi all,
I copied and executed the following sql code in my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE):
--SELECTeg8.sql from SELECT-Using correlated subqueries of MSDN2 SELECT Examples--
USE AdventureWorks ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT Name
FROM Production.Product p
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM Production.ProductModel pm
WHERE p.ProductModelID = pm.ProductModelID
AND pm.Name = 'Long-sleeve logo jersey') ;
GO
-- OR
USE AdventureWorks ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT Name
FROM Production.Product
WHERE ProductModelID IN
(SELECT ProductModelID
FROM Production.ProductModel
WHERE Name = 'Long-sleeve logo jersey') ;
GO
=========================================
I got:
Results Messages
Name o row affected
========================================
I think I did not get a complete output from this job. Please help and advise whether I should search somewhere in the SSMSE for the complete results or I should correct some code statements in my SELECTeg8.sql for obtaining the complete results.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I have a report that uses different datasets based on the year selected by a user.
I have a year_id parameter that sets a report variable named dataset_chosen. I have varified that these are working correctly together.
I have attempted populating table cell data to display from the chosen dataset. As yet to no avail.
How could I display data from the dataset a user selects via the year_id options?

Hi All
I am using SQL Server 2005 with SP2. I have multi select parameter in the report. In SP2 reporting services gives Select All option in the drop down.
Is there any way I can remove that option from the list?
Thanks

When I run simple select against my view in Query Analyzer, I get result set in one sort order. The sort order differs, when I BCP the same view. Using third technique i.e. Select Into, I have observed the sort order is again different in the resulting table. My question is what is the difference in mechanisim of query analyzer, bcp, and select into.
Thanks

Far below (in section "original 3 steps"), you see the following:1. a temp table is created2. some data is inserted into this table3. some of the inserted data is removed based on a join with the sametable that the original select was made fromIn my opinion, there is no way that the join could produce more rowsthan were originally retrieved from viewD. Hence, we could get rid ofthe DELETE step by simply changing the query to be:INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )AND INMESS NOT LIKE '2__' ---- the added line===== original 3 steps (mentioned above) =====CREATE TABLE #details (rec_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,orig VARCHAR(35) NULL,bene VARCHAR(35) NULL,orig_corr TINYINT NULL,bene_corr TINYINT NULL)INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )DELETE dFROM #details dJOIN viewD v ON ( d.rec_id = v.rec_id )WHERE INMESS LIKE '2__'

The select command below will output one patient’s information in 1 row:
Patient id
Last name
First name
Address 1
OP Coverage Plan 1
OP Policy # 1
OP Coverage Plan 2
[code]...
This works great if there is at least one OP coverage.  There are 3 tables in which to get information which are the patient table, the coverage table, and the coverage history table.  The coverage table links to the patient table via pat_id and it tells me the patient's coverage plan and in which priority to bill.  The coverage history table links to the patient and coverage table via patient id and coverage plan and it gives me the effective date. Â
select src.pat_id, lname, fname, addr1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.coverage_plan_ end) as OP_Coverage1,
max(case when rn = 1 then src.policy_id end) as OP_Policy1,
code]...
