I am trying to split the annual cost into monthly numbers based on the contract Period.Since the contract period varies from company to company not sure how to implement the logic.
create table #Invoice
(
Company Varchar(50),
Startdate2015 DateTime,
EndDate2015 DateTime,
ContractPeriod2015 Int,
ContractAmount2015 Float,
[code]..
I have a table with constantly changing data - stock.
I want to start monitoring the value of stock at the end of each month. I can do this with a simple query, export the results to Excel and store on the network.
My question is:
Are there better ways to do this with SQL Server?
I thought of a monthly "job" that does the query and outputs to a file. (Need to be able to look at each month separately though for trend monitoring.)
Then wondered, if I should have an extra table to store the data and write queries on that in the future?
I am not able to understand why just appending blank string in below code removes '<item>' from xml result.Is it converting to varchar datatype ?
This question is just for my understanding
CREATE TABLE #tbl
(id INT IDENTITY(1,1),
item varchar(100))
INSERT #tbl
SELECT 'This'
UNION ALL
[Code] .....
Let's say if the date is 01/01/2015 till 01/01/2016
I want split these dates monthly format wise and then use them in variable in cursors to loop
For an example Monthly date should be 01/01/2015 and 01/31/2015 and use these two values in 2 variables and make a loop until it never ends whole date range which is 01/01/2016
I have a below query which have a date filter like "EST_PICK_DATE between '2015-02-01' and '2015-06-01'", where the logic is EST_PICK_DATE should be 3 months from the current month and 1st date of next month. Ex for current month MAY, EST_PICK_DATE shoulc be between '2015-02-01' and '2015-06-01'. I need to write below query dynamically. In below query i have hardcoded the value ("EST_PICK_DATE between '2015-02-01' and '2015-06-01'"), but it should take dynamically. How to achieve this?
I am using this query in SSIS package, So Shall i do in SQL level or we should implement this logic in package? If yes, How?
INSERT INTO STG_Open_Orders (Div_Code, net_price, gross_price) SELECT ord.DIV_CODE AS Div_Code, ord_l.NET_PRICE AS net_price, ord_l.gross_price AS gross_price, FROM ORD ord inner join ORD_L ord_l ONord.ORD_ID=ord_l.ORD_ID WHERE ord_l.EST_PICK_DATE BETWEEN '2015-02-01' AND'2015-06-01'
Hello,
I found this query below that creates a Row Number column. Can someone help me to explain what the logic behind it is?

I am trying to break apart a list of filenames that was inserted into a database. It only breaks out the first one then moves onto the next record. If I do them individually then seem to work but not the whole table when queried. I need to break out each file into a temp table then insert them into a documents field in a database.
my filenames look like so and can have from 1 file name to 10 file names in the string.
test.pdf,test2.pdf,test4.tif,test5.pdf
somedoc.tif,test.docx,test4.pdf
This is my current method, I needed to create a cursor around it to go through all the records, split out the filenames and insert into a temp table. But if there is a better way ill do it. The problem with this is only the first file is getting inserted into the temp table and nothing else even if the filename has 4 files in it.
Create table #tempFiles (OldStrId int, OldPercent int, strfilename varchar(max), RequestId int, OblId int)
declare @OldStr int, @OldPer int, @FileName varchar(max), @intcount int;
Declare filenames CURSOR FOR Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTR where strFileName > ''
UNION ALL
Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTRHist where intPercentID in (61,62) and strFileName > ''

Our front end saves all IP addresses used by a customer as a comma separated string, we need to analyse these to check for blocked IPs which are all stored in another table.
A LIKE statement comparing each string with the 100 or so excluded IPs will be very expensive so I'm thinking it would be less so to split out the comma separated values into tables.
The problem we have is that we never know how many IPs could be stored against a customer, so I'm guessing a function would be the way forward but this is the point I get stuck.
I can remove the 1st IP address into a new column and produce the new list ready for the next removal, also as part of this we would need to create new columns on the fly depending on how many IPs are in the column.
This needs to be repeated for each row
SELECT IP_List
, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) - 1) AS IP_1
, REPLACE(IP_List, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) +0), '') AS NewIPList1
FROM IpExclusionTest

I was contacted by the SAN team to test backup/restore of larger databases using a split-mirror backup (BCV) or clone that is taken from production db server and copied to another sql box. They want to use this process once a week. I see the mounted drives with the data/log files. All looks good. Initially I attempted to attach the databases and received (Unable to open the physical file db.mdf Operating System Error 5 Access is denied). I manually granting SQLServerMSSQLUser$<computer_name>$<instance_name> on all of the physical files 20 total. That worked.
Since this will be weekly, the SAN team performed the copy again and now none of the databases can communicate with the newly copied files. NTFS permissions need to be set again. I'm getting (Operating System error 21: the device is not ready). Is there something that I'm missing in this process how the vendor BCV clones the data and SQL communicates with the copied files as I was thinking it would be more automated process?

I am trying to join two tables and looks like the data is messed up. I want to split the rows into columns as there is more than one value in the row. But somehow I don't see a pattern in here to split the rows.
This how the data is
Create Table #Sample (Numbers Varchar(MAX))
Insert INTO #Sample Values('1000')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1024 AND 1025')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('109 ,110,111')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('Old # 1033 replaced with new Invoice # 1544')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1355 Cancelled and Invoice 1922 added')
Select * from #Sample
This is what is expected...
Create Table #Result (Numbers Varchar(MAX))
Insert INTO #Result Values('1000')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('1024')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('1025')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('109')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('110')
[Code] ....
How I can implement this ? I believe if there are any numbers I need to split into two columns .
Deciding whether or not to use a CTE or this simple faster approach utilizing system tables, hijacking them.
SELECT s.ORDER_NUMBER, s.PRODUCT_ID, 1 AS QTY, s.VALUE/s.QTY AS VALUE
FROM @SPLITROW s
INNER JOIN master.dbo.spt_values t ON t.type='P'
AND t.number BETWEEN 1 AND s.QTY
Just wanted to know if its okay to use system tables in a production environment and if there are any pit falls of using them ?

Is there any improvments in SQL 2008 backup methods such as spliting backup files in manageable size(s), compress the backups and/or improving the speed of backup?
Though there are "commercial" tools available, it would be nicer if Microsoft SQL team can incorporate some core needed features in these areas for Small/Medium size businesses.
This is not a question but a suggesstion.

The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that.

Hi,
I am a bit of a novice to SQL Server programming. So, forgive me if my question is too silly or easy.
I have an client-server application where the server connects to an SQL Server and does simple DB operations. In a particular test case, after my SQL Server is shut down and restarted when I try to execute an SQL Statement, the SQLExecute function fails. The problem is that the connection handle used to allocate and prepare the statement is invalid. So, I need to reconnect to the server.
Now my question is, how do I determine if the connection handle is valid or not ? That is, is there any API/function which when used can detect whether the connection handle is invalid or not.
I have tried calls to SQLGetConnectAttr and SQLGetInfo passing the connection handle, but these API's still return the correct value even if the handle is invalid.
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh
Hi, sorry for another newbie question but I was wondering if the following is possible:
I have to take some information from a table which I have already created a query for. This information then has to be inserted into a new table but needs another column (not the promary key) with another unique custom identifer for each record in the format EX01 which is incremented by 1 for each record. I was wondering how is it possible to do this?
My approach was to create a view and then insert the values form the view into the new table but I still have no idea how to do the unique identifer. Was the first part of my approach correct or have been wrong from the start?
Thanks for any help.
I am using C# and ASP.NET 2.0, with SQL Server 2000. In my database I have a table that is similar to the following:
WebpageId WebpageAddress Handler 1 /company/about ~/about.aspx 2 /blog ~/blog.aspx
As you can guess, one of my queries will be a SELECT command where WebpageAddress = @address.
The hiccup I have is with a friendly URL such as the following:
/blog/2005/10/6
The friendly URLs have no extension, so I cannot immediately "pick out" the extension. (If the address were /blog.aspx/2005/10/6, then things would be simpler.)
What I am doing at present is using a loop in C# where I first perform a query with that full address. If no match is found, I trim the address back to the last slash (/blog/2005/10) and perform another query. If no match is found, I trim the address (/blog/2005) and perform another query. Again, no match is found, so I trim the address again (/blog) and perform yet another query. This time, a match is found, in which case the URL rewriting looks vaguely like this:
~/blog.aspx?parameters=2005/10/6
While this works fine, these friendly URLs require hitting the database up to four or five times. My question is, can this looping logic be moved to SQL Server?
My SQL knowledge is extremely basic, so I am just looking for someone to point me in the right direction. If it is not possible, I'd love to know now rather than wasting hours trying. If it is possible, I've love to know the keyword or technique involved, so that I can Google for the full answer.
