SQL Server 2008 :: Selecting Records Not Between 2 Dates
Jul 22, 2015I’m trying to extract a list of records that don’t appear between 2 dates. I have 4 tables:
tblCustomers
tblMachines
tblServiceOrders
tblMachinesServiced
tblCustomers contains a CustomerID that is unique to each customer.
tblMachines contains a list of all machines with a MachineID that is unique to each machine. It also contains the CustomerID number.
tblServiceOrders contains a list of each time each customer was serviced. It contains the ServiceDate, CustomerID, and ServiceOrderNo. But it does not have any information on the machines.
tblMachinesServiced contains a list of each machine that was serviced for each service order. It contains the ServiceOrderNo and the MachineID number.
What I want is to be able to extract a list of machines that were not serviced between 2 dates. What I end up getting is a list of machines that were serviced outside of the date range I provide.
For instance, say machine A was serviced in 2013 and 2015 but not in 2014. And say machine B was serviced in all 3 years. When I try to extract my list of machines not serviced in 2014 I end up with a list that contains machine A-2013, A-2015, B-2013 & B-2015. But what I need is just machine A-2014, since that machine wasn’t serviced in 2014.
I’ve tried several different queries but here is an example:
SELECT tblMachines.MachineID,ServiceMachines.ServiceDate
FROM tblMachines
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT MachineID, ServiceDate FROM tblServiceOrders, tblMachinesServiced
WHERE tblServiceOrders.ServiceOrderNo=tblMachinesServiced.ServiceOrderNo
) ServicedMachines
ON tblMachines.MachineID=ServicedMachines.MachineID
WHERE YEAR(ServiceDate) != '2014'
I understand why it returns the records that it does, but I'm not sure how to get what I want, which is a list of machines not serviced in 2014.

Selecting Random Data From Sql Server
Jan 21, 2008I have three tables that are joined together to retrieve a piece of data.Table One has the columns pid1(PK), idTable Two has the columns pid1, qid1, idTable three has columns qid1, question, answerHere is my sql statement:SELECT Table1.pid1, Table2.qid1, Table3.Question FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON Table1.pid1=Table2.pid1 JOIN Table3 ON Table2.qid1=Table3.qid1 WHERE Table1.pid=...(N)I put an elipsis because I'm stuck on how to proceed from here. See I need to randomly select a value from column pid1 in table1 then use this value to replace N in the sql statement, then have the statement run and randomly return exactly one piece of data instead.Is this possible? How can you randomly get one piece of data from joining three table without a WHERE CLAUSE.

Dec 5, 2006We have found an issue with using MSS 2005 with odbc connections, some of
our code inserts data, then reselects the data back with a select using a
different handle. This hasn't caused any issues before but in one customer
this causes a lock up. The timeout error doesn't occur as you would expect
if trying to select data that is uncommitted by another user.
Although obviously we could re-code to avoid selecting uncommitted rows, can
anyone tell me why this works sometimes but not others. Some kind of
setting in MSS that we're unaware of maybe. The code works ok on other MSS
2005 & MSS 2000 servers and oracle & sqlbase.
SQL Server 2012 :: Dynamically Create A Script Only Selecting Columns Where There Is Data?
Dec 2, 2013I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
SQL Server 2012 :: Selecting Data From A Change Log Where Date Falls Between Two Rows
Aug 29, 2014I need to extract a price from a package solution table that was current on a certain date.
Columns are:
Product_Reference int,
Change_Date int, -- Note that this is in yyyymmdd format
Price decimal
So for one items you would get
Product_ReferenceChange_DatePrice
100014200401281.59
100014200605131.75
100014200802121.99
100014200906252.35
100014201002242.50
100014201107151.10
100014201205151.15
The challenge is to return the price of the item on 20070906. In this example 1.75.
I've tried joining it to itself
SELECT DISTINCT p1.[Product_Reference]
,p1.[Change_Date]
,p1.[Price]
FROM PHistory p1
INNER JOIN PHistory p2
ON p1.Product_Reference = p2.Product_Reference
WHERE p1.Product_Reference = 100014
AND p1.Change_Date >= 20070906
and p2.Change_Date < 20070906
But it returns the price above and below that date.
SQL Server 2008 :: Function To Replace Data In A Column With X Based On LEN Of Data
Sep 4, 2015I need to create a function that replaces the data in a column with an 'X' based on the LEN of the data in the column. I created one that does a replacement, but it fills the column based on the max data length, and not the current length of the string or integer. An example of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Original data in a varchar(30) column:
thisisavalue
thisisanothervalue
thisisanothervalueagain
shortval
replaced with
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
My current function is replacing the data like this:

How Can I Get The 'entire' Database, Structure And Data, From SQL Server 2008 To SQL Server 2005?
Jun 20, 20081) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either.
The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work.

Feb 1, 2012I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
I want see the following:
Product ID, Product Name, Qty, Src_DB_ID, Src_DB_Name, Src_Server_Name
1 IPAD 1000 2, MyDB1, Server1
100 ASUS Pad 40 1, YourDB, Server2
get database name and server name in DATA FLOW only (without using a for each in Control Flow)
Selecting A Single Data Source From Multiple Data Sources
Aug 4, 2006Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Before nightly job DELETES records in Source table i want to STOP replication so that the delete is not replicated in archive database. After the job completes i would like to TURN ON replication so that any new inserts and updates in Source will ONLY be replicated in archive database.
My DBA tested this but after last step of turning replication back ON archive database is sync'd with source table.

SQL Server 2008 :: Extracting Data From Linked Server
Dec 17, 2010I am using MS SQL 2008, and I am trying to extract data from a MySQL database. I am having trouble extracting the data I need.
In SQL Server management studio, I can see the linked server...I can browse the different databases on the server. I can see user and system tables in all of the databases.
When I try and query a linked table (select * from server.db.table) I get Invalid object name 'servername.databasename.tablename'.
When I try script the table.. right_click on the linked table, Script table as, Select to, New Query Editor window, I get an error '[servername].[databasename]..[tablename] contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object.'
This leads me to believe that it is a permissions problem, but if I have access to the MySQL database using MySQL and the same login/password) and can retrieve the data there, then I think my login credentials should be enough using MS SQL. I guess I think its odd that I could have enough credentials to get in and see table names, but not do a select against it.

SQL Server 2008 :: Redirect Insert Data Into Another Column
Feb 10, 2015I was wondering if there was a way to redirect an insert to another column...
Example:
Original Insert Statement:
INSERT INTO [table] ([columnA], [columnB])
SELECT '2015-01-01 00:00:00', 99.99
We have changed [columnB] from a decimal(19,9) to a computed column. So instead, we added another column [ColumnC] to take [ColumnB]'s insert data. I thought we could've used a trigger instead of insert, but that fails with the message "cannot be modified because it is either a computed column or is the result of a UNION operator".
This is the trigger I was using:
CREATE TRIGGER [Trigger] ON [table]
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
INSERT INTO [table] ([columnA], [columnC])
SELECT [dataA], [dataB]
FROM Inserted
