I'm having trouble coming up with a query in SQL Server 2000. Trying my best to sum it up in one sentence; I need a result set that for every EventID/StartDate that exists in tblEvents, I need all StartDates within x days to have a minimum sequential, unique number starting at 1. Now I'll go into some more detail and possibly confuse everyone.
What I have is a table of events that to simplify this question include only an EventID and an StartDate field. What I need to do is for each event, find the other events that occur within x days after the event in question. I then need to number the events starting at 1 so that each eventB that occurs within x days of EventA has the minimum number different from any events from the past x days. I know I just sucked at putting it in words so I'll give an example.
Here is what my idea of the end result table should like if x=2. The source table is basically the same thing minus the Num column.
Here's a quick diagram I made (I know it's ugly and not to scale) which hopefully helps you understand what I need better. Basically, I will be drawing a timeline using vml and each item is going to have text next to it so I need items to be staggered if they are on the same day or close to each other so that things don't overlap. I also need to minimize the vertical space it takes up which is why num needs to get back to 1 as soon as it can instead of just putting each event on its own line. The "num" column will tell me what row to put the item in.
if it is possible to run a distributed query against 2000 from 2005, what would the OPENDATASOURCE parameters look like? I'd like to be able to pivot without copying my older 2000 db to 2005 or using linked servers..
For reference, here's an example of a distrib query that reads excel...
ie SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Customers$]
SQL 2000: 8.00.2187 x86, 8 way 700mhz, 6GB Ram SQL 2005: 9.00.3042 IA64 2 Way Dual-Core 1.66Mhz 16 GB ram
Symptoms
Querys to the SQL 2005 box from SQL 2000 work but when the query is parameterised with non-literals (@variables) then the query run on the SQL 2005 box excludes any where clause causing the entire table to be returned to the SQL 200 box. When the query is parameterised using literal values the query is executed on SQL 2005 including the where clause.
At first I thought that the "Collation Compatible" setting was the culprit but setting this to 1 made no difference. Other SQL 2000 boxes work as expected and any queries from these using literal and non-literal parameters.
Please, any ideas?

Dear all,I have a database with 3 tables, one is named Enrollment, and the other Attendance. What I am trying to accomplish here is to get all the Student ID from the Enrollment table which matches a given class ID and insert all of them into the Attendance table for a given day.I did this with the SQL query below :- INSERT INTO Attendance (ClassID, Date, StudentID, Status) VALUES (1, '10-4-2005', (Select t.StudentID FROM Student t WHERE t.ClassID=1), 1)Trouble here is I get the error : Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.I understand waht is going on here, that it returns more than 1 result. So my question is, are there any other ways to accomplish what I am trying to do? Hope you all can help me with this.Thanks all in advance,-Victor-
This query executes (instantly) in SQL Server 2000 without SP4. With SP 4, it hangs - goes over 5 mins and does nothing. If we make the following change to the query: (replace the variables with actual values) ... where Links.Matter_ID = 5872
AND Links.Entity_ID = 1
Order By Contacts.ContactID ... It executes almost instantly in SP4 as well. Looks like a SP4 issue, any ideas on how we could fix this? t-sql follows:
Declare @MatterID bigint
Declare @EntityID int
Declare @ReturnDetails int
Declare @RETVAL VarChar(8000)
Declare @EntityDetails VarChar(1000)

I have two tables in an inner join. I'm detailing the tables with some of their fields below. These tables are in a database I'm creating to manage backup tapes. Most importantly, this database will inform me when backup tapes which have already been used can be recycled (e.g. after all the jobs on the tape are over 28 days old). I want to write something which will look at each tape in turn and, if all related backup jobs on that tape are aged, the tape status will be changed from Active to Spare.
Tapes --TapeNo --Status (Spare / Assigned)
Jobs --JobNo --Name --Description --TapeNo --AgedJob (BIT field indicating whether or not the job has aged)
Each tape can have 0, 1 or many jobs and each job can be on more than one tape.
Anyway, I have the tables and relationsips set up and they're ok. Again, what I'm struggling with is how I take each tape and look at all its jobs and, if all have aged, change the Status for the tape to Spare. I'm using SQL Server 2000 (Access 2003 as front end) and am pretty new to SQL. I was thinking this could be done by using some kind of update query and subquery, but I'm stumped. Could someone please help ?

When you are inserting/altering a table and you expect values to be added, should you see the number of rows affected at the bottom of the query screen as the time goes by or not?

I have a query slower in SQL Server 2005 than in SQL Server 2000. I have a database in SQL 2000, I put it on the same server, but with SQL 2005 and the query take 5 seconds instead of 0 seconds. The DB compatibility is SQL Server 2000 (I tried with 2005 and result is the same). Execution plan seems right and I tried to change some DB options without results.

I have a relatively simple SQL Server 2000 database which I amquerying from a VB.NET application. The query is very simple, such asSELECT * FROM tblSystems. Let's say there are 10 records in the tabletblSystems. I expect to get 10 records from this query, and sometimesdo. But for some reason, I start getting 0 records from my app. If Irun the same query in SQL Server's Query Analyzer, it works fine. IfI reboot my machine, then it seems to work fine for a while, thenstarts giving me bad results again. I am running my app on the samemachine as SQL Server, although I can connect to my database remotelythrough my app, and I get the same results either way. Anyone seenanything like this? Was this fixed in a service pack (I'm using SP1,and don't want to install a newer one unless it's a known fix)?Thanks,Andrew
Hi All,I have a table that currently contains approx. 8 million records.I'm running a SELECT query against this table that in somecircumstances is either very quick (ie results returned in QueryAnalyzer almost instantaneously), or very slow (ie 30 to 40 seconds toreturn results), and I'm trying to work out how I improve performance.Essentially the query I'm running is nothing more complex than:SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Table1 WHERE tier=n ORDER BY member_id[tier] is a smallint column with a non-clustered, non-unique index onit. [member_id] is a numeric column with a clustered, unique index onit.When I supply a [tier] value of 1, it returns results instantaneously.I have no idea if this is meaningful, but the tier = 1 records wereloaded first into the table, and comprise approximately 5 millionrecords.When I supply a [tier] value of 2, the results take 30 to 40 seconds.tier =2 records were loaded second, and comprise approximately 3million records.I've tried running an execution plan, and while I'm no expert, itappears to me that the index on tier isn't being used, even if I use:tier = CAST(2 as SMALLINT)I'm wondering if anyone can give me ANY advice on how to get anybetter performance out of this SELECT statement?Also, out of curiosity, can a disk defragment have a positive impacton SELECT query performance?Any help very much appreciated!Much warmth,Murray
Hi everybody! i've got a problem: when trying to connect to SQL Query Analyzer on SQL Server 2000 with SQL Server authentication, i fill in the gaps user name and password but when i press OK it gives me an error. it says: "Unable to connect to server server-name: login failed for user X. Reason: not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection". the user i want to get connected with is correcly set up and appears in the SQL Server security-->logins list with type=standard; server access=permit; default database=master. how could I correct it?

I am developing a windows application in VB.Net 2005 and Database is SQl Server 2000.I want to insert, update and delete records from a master table which has 8 columns.So should I write a stored procedure for this or write three queries and execute them in code.I haven't used stored procedure before. What will be advantages of using stored procedures?And tell me how to write stored procedure to insert,update and delete. Then how to call it in VB.Net code.
I am using SQL Server 2000. I have a somewhat large query and hope someone could help me with it. (Man, there needs to be a way to use colors...) The bolded parts of the query need to be replaced by the underlined part. I can't say 'b.HW' because of the scope of the inline query and that they are all on the same level. I've been told I need to change to a nested subquery, but can't for the life of me figure out how to do that. Can someone please show me?

I'm having an issue with a query I'm running on Sql Server 2005. It's a semi-complex query involving an in-line table function and several left outer joins which are joined on to the results of the function call. Two of the left outer joins are then qualified in a where clause of the form where table.Col is not null; the idea is that the final result set contains data that has no match in those two tables.
The problem revolves around a where clause in the function and the last left outer join (ie, one of the ones qualified with where not null). When I alter the where clause of the function to further restrict the result set the function returns, the query times shoots up from 1 second to roughly 2-3 minutes. Note that the time the function takes to complete is not affected. The difference in time is purely down to what the query does with the results the function provides. Also note that the change to the where clause provides a subset of the original data; it does not add any more data (it actually restricts the original resultset by roughly 1000 rows).
I can bring the query speed back down again by removing the last left outer join - this join takes one of the columns from the function, and joins it to a small table - 924 rows. So it appears that this particular join is the cause of the issue, but only when using the resultset generated from the modified function query.
Now, as the thread title alludes, Sql Server 2000 and 2005 handle this differently, or appear to. When I execute this same query on a Sql 2000 machine, there's no apparent time differences, and the data that is returned is as expected. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how I can fix it? I could simply return the larger resultset and use managed code to filter out the rows I don't want; however, I would like to get to the bottom of this, especially if it's going to effect future queries.
I have a very simple query that simply does this: select * from badgetemplates where badgeid=39 , the badge template table has four fields, one of them is of type IMAGE, however the data on badge 39 IMAGE field only amounts to about 600kb, it used to run very quickly (a second or so) now it takes over a minute, i have checked this via the SQL profiler. What is strange is if I remove some of the data stored within the IMAGE field and reduce it to much smaller that 600kb it runs very quickly again. 600kb is fairly small and it used to return this very quickly as I say. Other queries are running at normal speed and the server perfomance does not seem to be reduced elsewhere, it only seems to have effected this only table but only with data over a certain size, the table itself only contains 20 or so rows. What could this be?!
Any help would be really appreciated as I have no clue.....
Hi all,I am doing some large updates,that may update 10,000 plus rows.This works fine when I execute the SQL directlyin Query Analyzer.If I set the timeout on my VB connection to 0 (zero)the connection should not time out????But it does.If I set the time out to a high value, say 1200,I get the same problem well within 1200 seconds.Also, I am getting the problem that the log fills up,but it is set to auto grow????Any ideas would be appreciated.ThanksGreg
I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong. Thank you
Hello, I have the following query in Access 2000 that I need to convertto SQL 2000:UPDATE tblShoes, tblBoxesSET tblShoes.Laces1 = NullWHERE (((tblShoes.ShoesID)=Int([tblBoxes].[ShoesID])) AND((tblBoxes.Code8)="A" Or (tblBoxes.Code8)="B"))WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;The ShoesID in the tblShoes table is an autonumber, however the recordsin the tblBoxes have the ShoesID converted to text.This query runs ok in Access, but when I try to run it in the SQLServer 2000 Query Analizer I get errors because of the comma in the"UPDATE tblShoes, tblBoxes" part. I only need to update the tblShoesfield named Laces1 to NULL for every record matching the ones in thetblBoxes that are marked with an "A" or an "B" in the tblBoxes.Code8field.Any help would be greatly appreciated.JR
