Table Name: Denominator
Already has the following constraint:
PK_Denominatorclustered, unique, primary key located on PRIMARY DenominatorID
How can I add a unique key that will cover the 3 fields --> MemberID,MeasureID,TimePeriodID
I also want to know whether we can include the " WITH ( IGNORE_DUP_KEY=ON ) "
Give a user table ‘MyTable’. How to know whether the table contains a non-unique clustered index by using SQL query?

View 8 Replies View RelatedHiI tried the following from the help file...When you create or modify a unique index, you can set an option toignore duplicate keys. If this option is set and you attempt to createduplicate keys by adding or updating data that affects multiple rows(with the INSERT or UPDATE statement), the row that causes theduplicates is not added or, in the case of an update, discarded.For example, if you try to update "Smith" to "Jones" in a table where"Jones" already exists, you end up with one "Jones" and no "Smith" inthe resulting table. The original "Smith" row is lost because anUPDATE statement is actually a DELETE followed by an INSERT. "Smith"was deleted and the attempt to insert an additional "Jones" failed.The whole transaction cannot be rolled back because the purpose ofthis option is to allow a transaction in spite of the presence ofduplicates.But when I did it the original "Smith" row was not lost.I am doing something wrong or is the help file incorrect.Dan

How can I create a Table whose one field will be 'tableid INT IDENTITY(1,1)' and other fields will be the fields from the table "ashu".
can this be possible in SQL Server without explicitly writing the"ashu" table's fields name.
I feel sure that this is a very naive question, but it is freeky me out that I can solve it. With SQL server what is the easiest way to make a field other than the Primary key unique?Would appreciate help with this. ThanksPaul

A UNIQUE INDEX must inherently impose a unique constraint and a UNIQUE CONSTRAINT is most likely implemented via a UNIQUE INDEX. So what is the difference? When you create in Enterprise Manager you must select one or the other.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat's the difference in the effect of the followings:
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX
and
ALTER TABLE dbo.titles ADD CONSTRAINT
titleind UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED
I found there're two settings in Indexs/Keys dialog box of the management studio, Is Unique, and Type. The DDL statements above are generated by setting Is Unique to yes plus Type to Index, and just Type to Unique Key, respectively. What's the difference between them?
I am trying to create a unique index on a table such that the combination of 2 columns is unique. How do I go about that?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
When I create a unique constraint, SQL Server automatically creates an index on this constraint. So when I run the following...
ALTER TABLE PersonsProjects
WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT NoDupes UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (PersonID, ProjectID)
...SQL Server will create a composite index on PersonsProjects called NoDupes on PersonIDand ProjectID. Thing is, I need this index to include a third column Status since most queries use this column in conjunction with PersonID and ProjectID. If there was no index on this table, I would have created it as follows:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX NoDupes ON PersonsProjects (PersonID, ProjectID) INCLUDE (Status) WITH IGNORE_DUP_KEY
But this won't enforce the unique constraint on PersonID and ProjectID when performing inserts and updates. Is there any way of creating a unique constraint with an included column?
I would rather not have two indexes...
NoDupes: PersonID,ProjectID
New Index: PersonID,ProjectID INCLUDE Status
...so I'm trying to determine what other options that might be available...please advise.
Thanks much.
Hi everyone,
I need urgent help to resolve this issue...
As far as the performance goes which one is better..
Unique Index(col1, col2) OR Unique constraint(col1, col2) ?
Unique constraint automatically adds a unique index
and unique index takes care of uniqueness then whats the use of unique constraint ?
Which one do one use ?
thanks

BOL says a unique constraint is preferred over a unique index. It also states that a unique constraint creates a unique index. What then is the difference between the two, and why is a constraint preferred over the index?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an issue where I am getting an error on an unique index.
I know why I am getting the error but not sure how to get around it.
The query does a check on whether a unique value exists in the Insert/Select. If I run it one record at a time (SELECT TOP 1...) it works fine and just won't update it if the record exists.
But if I do it in a batch, I get the error. I assume this is because it does the checking on the file before records are written out and then writes out the records one at a time from a temporary table.
It thinks all the records are unique because it compares the records one at a time to the original table (where there would be no duplicates). But it doesn't check the records against each other. Then when it actually writes out the record, the duplicate is there.
How do I do a batch where the Insert/Select would write out the records without the duplicates as it does when I do it one record at a time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to move a timestamp data column from DB2 to SQL Server 2005. Normally not a big deal but the column is part of unique index.
The DB2 timestamp has seconds of ss.ssssss but SQL Server only has ss.sss.
Most all the times entered into this column are a from an automated process so they are really close together timewise.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
1. Fast Load OLEDB with a batch of 10,000 records at a time
2. On the fail of the batch redirect rows to a regular table load OLEDB insert task
3. On the fail of the single insert redirect rows to script that ups the seconds one tick.
4. Attempt one last insert of the modified rows
5. If fail, then store the record off to a delimited text file
I am hoping to get the number of records that wind up in the delimited text file to be a very small number and not in the 1,000+.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have 2 tables:
1 is with only one field: numerator
2ed is (for example) sales information.
I need to export (using SP) the sales information with unique numerator per line. So,
I need to get the value from table 1 (numerator),
I need to promote the numerator by 1 for every line, and
I need to update the first table (numerator) (as i need to keep it updated for the next run).
At the next run I need to get again the updated numerator from the first table, and so on...
I have the following query:
Select p.Id [SenderId], p.Username, up.PhotoId,
CASE
WHEN mr.ReadDate is null then 1 -- New message
ELSE 0 -- Message has been read
END AS NewMessage,
p.LastLoggedIn, p.LoggedIn
[Code] ....
The above query returns me all messages (inbox functionality) that have been sent to mr.ReceipientId, the issue I have is when I send another email to the recipient the readdate field will be null, and the other emails linked to the recipient which have also been sent via me will have a readdate date. This causes duplicate rows to appear due to the case statement, I'm trying to figure out if / how it is possible to only display the one row per conversation and set newmessage to 1 if there is an un-read message otherwise show 0 ?
So instead of showing this:
2Person102015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
2Person112015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
I'm trying to get it to look like this:
2Person112015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
Or if we have no new mail (read date is not null) then it will appear like this, and I can confirm when there is no new mail it works as expected.
2Person102015-07-26 17:07:24.9370

Hi,
I am trying to create an asp.net web recruiting application for HR, which will give the users the ability to both copy/paste the Resume and cover letter in textbox and upload resume and cover letter, then submit it (which will be saved into SQL Server 2000 table).
I am thinking to save Resume and cover_letter as Image data type columns in SQL Server.
. Can someone give me a direction about how to save the uploaded resume and cover letter to table and if it's the easiest way to do it?
. What to deal with different formats of uploaded resumes? I hope to limit to only Word or HTML
. Since I also give user another option - copy/paste the resume and coverletter into a textboxes. Can I simply save the copy/paste resume and cover letter into text field column? Later, say, if any HR recruiter retrieve the text from database, will it concatonates everything together without line break?
Any ideas is appreciated.
I have two table People and Employee, both have firstname and lastname as fields
I want to display only the names that don't match on firstname and lastname
I'm using the SQL below to work out recruitment figures. The query works well, but I now need to build this query into a DotNet application as a webpage. I therefore need to declare and manipulate the values such as 'Total', 'Jan' to 'Dec' and 'YearRecruited' in order to write these values into my chosen data control. I therefore need to know the datatypes of these calculated values.
Total I think is straightforward as DNAScreeningID is an int datatype. But what about the others?
SELECT YEAR(SamplingDate) AS YearRecruited,
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 1 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Jan',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 2 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Feb',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 3 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Mar',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 4 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Apr',

I have tableX with columns colA, colB, colC, colD and there are 2256 rows in the tableX.
I would like to find out the percentages of colA, colB, colC, colD that hold data (where it is not an empty string or NULL value).
So out of 2256 rows in the table, the user has stored data in colA 1987 times, colB 2250 times, colC 2256 times and colD 17 times.
So the report would say:
colA: 88.07%
colB: 99.73%
colC: 100%
colD: 0.01%
We have an application that has a bunch of fields that we believe are not being used and would like to remove them, but we need to prove this by looking at the data.
I know I could run a query, one at a time and change the column name, but this would take a long time as there are a lot of columns in this table. I am hoping there is some way to do this in one query.
I have a table which has cluster index on col1 column. If i insert 10 into my table what would be cluster index key value?Is it going to be 10 as well? How do i get cluster index key value?
View 5 Replies View RelatedA common partitioning scenario is when the partition column has the same value for every record in the partition, as opposed to a range of values. Am I the only person who wonders why there isn't an option to automatically partition a table based on the unique values of the partition column? Instead of defining a partition function with constants, you ought to be able to just give it the column and be done. This would be particularly valuable for tables partitioned on a weekly or monthly date; when new data is added it could simply create a new partition if one doesn't already exist.
