I am having three table tblTest,tblTestQuestion,tblAnswers
Each test can have multiple question and each Question can have multiple answers.
Now I am already having records in database. I wants to create clone copy of existing test except testdetails in tblTest because the test will be unique, and then insert questions and answers into their respective tables.
I was trying to create SP but stuck.
Please find below tables structure
[code="
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblAnswer](
Our system runs a SQL Server 2012 DB, it has a table (table_a) which has over 10M records. Our system have to receive data file from previous system daily which contains approximate 3M updated or new records for table_a. My job is to update table_a with the new data.
The initial solution is:
1 Create a table (table_b) which structur is as the same as table_a
2 Use BCP to import updated records into table_b
3 Remove outdated data in table_a: delete from table_a inner join table_b on table_a.key_fileds = table_b.key_fields
4 Append updated or new data into table_a: insert into table_a select * from table_b
As the test result, this solution is very inefficient. Step 3 costs several hours, e.g. How can I improve it?
So I know that each employee should have 2 Type 1's and 4 Type 2's. I hope that makes sense, I'm trying to change my data because ours is very proprietary.
I need to identify employees who do not have all their stages and list the stages they are missing. The final report should only have employees and the associated missing types and stages.
I do a count by employee to see how many types they have to identify the ones that don't have all the types and stages.
My count would look something like this:
EmployeeNumber Type Total 100, 1, 2 100, 2, 2 200, 1, 1 200 1, 2
So I know that employee 100 should have 2 more Type 2's and employee 200 should have 1 more Type 1 and 2 more Type 2's based on the required list.
The problem I'm having is taking that required list and joining to my list of employees with missing data and pulling from it the types and stages that are missing by employee. I thought I could get a list of the employees that are missing information and right join it to the required list where the missing records would be nulls. But, that doesn't work because some employees do have the required information and so I'm not getting any nulls returned.
HiI was in the situation of cloning a SQL server database last night.Today, a dependent application was behaving a little erratically thoughmost things were fine after sorting out some ntfs permissions. I'verecovered this database from backup exec before from a hot-backup, thisis the first time I've attempted this procedure though.Could I check with the experts here as to whether what I did was OK?Been googling to see if it is really the right thing to do, haven'tcome up with anything definitive...Assume server SOURCE and DEST:install DEST to same specification, OS, SQL patch level as SOURCE. Samepaths where applicable.shut down SQL server on bothCopy all datafile folder (d:sqldata) which is the full databaseincluding MASTER etc all over to DEST.Shut SOURCE down.Rename DEST to SOURCE, disable SQL server starting, set networksettings to those of SOURCE and reboot.Wait for things to settle after reboot and name change, bring SQLdatabase up.Client application now connects, I can't see any problems, but therehave been some strange anomalies in satellite applications today. Allhave been bounced to see if it's just a change they needed to notice,to no avail.Was that an OK operation to have done, or is there something just aboutto bite me when I'm not looking?Be grateful for any advice, I spent today pulling a lot of hair out.Thanks in advance :)AW
Not sure if there is anyway to do hots on sql server .From all I haveheard an EMC can do clones and fractures in order to implement a hotbackup or some kind of it in sql server.Seemingly the DBA has to do something toenable the fracture of the clone . Is anyone familiar with this ?Your input is highly appreciatedMB
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
I am using a SQL Server Agent jobs that run each morning to update the records in a table to match what they should be for that day. I built them and tested it using a test table called "testtable1". It worked fine. But when I switched over to our production table, it fails saying the table has to be decaled. What would be the difference. The production table has a "@" in front of the name, is that causing issues?

I have a table "t_prod_cat" which contains hierarchical data which is used in production to present data.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t_prod_cat]( [cat_node_id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [advertiser_id] [bigint] NOT NULL, [cat_hid] [hierarchyid] NULL, [level] AS ([cat_hid].[GetLevel]()) PERSISTED, CONSTRAINT [PK_t_prod_cat] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [cat_node_id] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY]
In order not to impact the production website during the time an advertiser is editing (the editing might take much time and also mainly because at any time during the editing, the advertiser could cancel all the changes he did), I was thinking of transferring all the data linked to that advertiser to another table and let the advertiser apply any modifications up to the moment he will commit the changes.
Therefore, I would like to "CLONE" the hierarchy related to a certain advertiser_id to another table "t_prod_cat_work"
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t_prod_cat_work]( [temp_cat_node_id] [bigint] NOT NULL, [temp_cat_hid] [hierarchyid] NOT NULL, [advertiser_id] [bigint] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
What can be the easiest way to clone all the hierarchical data (multi-levels) from 't_prod_cat' to 't_prod_cat_work' for a certain advertiser_id ?
How can I copy a table from my sql server 2000 db to my sql server 2005 express edition? I have a project in VS.NET 2005 and I have a db in App_Data folder. However, when I look into that folder, there is nothing visible. I now need to copy a table from my existing sql server 2000 to my db located in my project's App_Data folder. Any help would be appreciated..
I have this requirement where some store procedures from a "seed" database need to be replicated to another database (on demand, so replication is not suppose to be use in this scenario).
I know it can be achieved by exporting the store procedures and then execute that at the B database but I want something a bit more automatic since it can be a large number of sprocs. I am trying something like this (still in dev):
SET NOCOUNT ON; -- SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY definition) seq, definition base into #sprocs FROM databaseA.[sys].[procedures] p INNER JOIN databaseA.sys.sql_modules m ON p.object_id = m.object_id
[Code] ....
But I am sure there are way better ways to accomplish that...
Ive successfully cloned an SSRS VM Server within a scale out deployment to REPLACE a current physical machine. This wasn't too difficult.
The issue im having now is in creating a new SQL 2014 Environment with 3 SSRS nodes. Ive taken the time to build one up. Changed all my config files, installed all components etc & tweaks needed within my company...
I have now hit a brick wall though. Ive cloned this first server twice to give me 3 nodes. This is a new environment so the issue I have is that the rsreportserver.config files all now have the same InstallationID. I dont have any existing nodes to overwrite these files with. So when I attach the nodes to the database they will update the keys table with the same InstallationID as the first node and none will work.
Any way to force the SSRS setup to re-generate an installation ID - by repair maybe? Or is this something I can manually just make up?
I am copying data from database to an excel file through SSIS. database is MS SQL 2005 and BIDS is also 2005.However, the job doing this task fails every time.As per investigation, the result of the query is more than 100,000 rows and we know that excel has a limit of 65000 rows of data.Is there a way of setting the limit up? or something? a better approach maybe so that everything will be copied to the excel file successfully.

I've got to copy several records (almost a 100) in a table from one instance of SQL Server 2008 R2, to another instance of SQL Server 2008 R2, but on a different server. The table structure is identical. I've searched online and found examples of doing a bulk insert into a table from a .CSV file. However I don't know of a way of exporting records to a .CSV file using a SELECT statement.
I've heard of linked servers, but at least as far as I know linking the server would require administrative privileges that I don't have on either machine.
I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).
I have a tree and I need to copy a nested sub-tree (an element with its children, which in turn may have their owns) from one place to another.
The system should allow to handle up to 8 levels. I do know how to move, but cannot figure out how to copy.
Below is a working example With Create Table, Select and Cut / Paste (implemented via Update).
I would like to know how to copy a nested tree with reference id 4451 from Parent_Id 1 to Parent_Id = 2
--***** Table Definition With Insert Into to provide some basic data ****
IF (OBJECT_ID ('myRefTable', 'U') IS NOT NULL) DROP TABLE myRefTable; GO CREATE TABLE myRefTable ( Reference_Id INT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL CONSTRAINT myRefTable_PK PRIMARY KEY,

How to Copy nested sub-tree 4451 with all its children to Parent_Id 2, without deleting from Parent_Id = 1 ?
how to copy a content of a table from one remote server to another,. server A does not see server B (B doesn't see A) - I cannot even ping to one from another.I do have SQL Studio installed on server C, which IT team configured to allow access to both A and B.So what I did so far is to periodically:
1. connect from the studio on server C to server A 2. run the following script on server A: SELECT * FROM A.myTable FOR XML PATH('ROOT') 3. copy the result 4. connect from the studio on server C to server B 5. to write something like
DECLARE @xmlData XML; SET @xmlData = pasting here my result from item 3 above
6. INSERT INTO SELECT
ref.value ..... FROM @xmlData.nodes('/myElemnet/ROOT') xmlData( ref );
so it works. now there is a requirement to schedule this update to run periodically and I need to implement it..
I want to make a copy of MyData from Production to Testing and rename it from MyData to MyData_Testing.
Currently, I figure I will have to make a backup - copy it from Production to Testing - restore it. Since I can link the servers, I can initiate the backup from Testing - copy - and restore from a script on Testing. The only part I am not sure of is how to copy the file via the script.
Using import task only can select and copy tables and views.
Since there are many objects at the same DB I don't need copy, is there any way let me select and copy some objects, such as functions, stored procedures?
I am developing a form for a mortgage company. There can be any number of borrowers on a given loan, and the business has asked that this form return only 2 borrowers at a time for a loan. For example, if there are 3 borrowers for a loan, they want the first copy of the form to print the first 2 borrowers and then another copy of the form to print the 3rd. No matter how many copies are printed, they want the borrower information to be labeled as 'Borrower1' xyz and 'Borrower2' xyz. Also, there will be a LOT more fields returned on the real form, so the sample information below is very simplified test data.
I don't want that 2nd record to return. This result is what makes me think of gaps and islands, but I don't know if the 2nd record is really an island since it's (1) not stored this way...it's returning this way because of the query and (2) it's not sequential data..I tried restricting this by putting this into a CTE and then returning only the odd numbered records like I have below. This runs pretty quickly when dealing with one loan. But...I am concerned that the CTE will be slow when we run batches of loans.
Attempt with CTE: --With CTE ;WITH cte AS (SELECT Borrower1 = BorrowerName , Borrower2 = LEAD(BorrowerName) OVER(ORDER BY BorrowerOrder) , RowNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY BorrowerOrder)
[code]...
Is there a better, cleaner way to do this? Or is the CTE the best way to go?
Before implementing memory based bulk copy insert with IRowsetFastLoad interface of SQL Server 2005 OLE DB provider, I want to know some considerations.
- performance : compared with T-SQL's "BULK INSERT ..." and bcp utility
- SQL Server's resource usage : when running memory based bulk copy, server resource's influence
- server side action(behavior) : when server is busy, delayed-update means IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true) method can insert right after?
- row-count : The rowcount limitation can be inserted by IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit
I have idea on SMK, DMK and symmetric and asymmetric keys. I have also idea on TDE. But Is there any way to encrypt all the records of all the columns of a table in a database? actually I need to encrypt the database. Someone .... thinks that when someone will write select query he will get the encrypted records. As per as I am concerned it is not possible. I can encrypt the specific column using symmetric or other keys...
Is there any software or any tool which will provide encrypted records of database?
With this query i get only the records i need, but i would like to output in this way
1 - 20 21 - 30 31 - 40
of course in the real environment the ID are not consecutive, this is just one example of data.
declare @temp table (ID int) declare @i int = 1 while(@i<1000) begin insert into @temp values (@i) set @i=@i+1 end select ID from ( select ID, row_number() over (order by ID) as rn from @temp ) q where (rn % 20=0) OR (rn % 20=1)
I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!
Scenario: -------------- I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.
The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.
I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.
I have a series of records based on empid where I want to identify the empid that may have discrepancies listed. I have some empids that are listed more than once and have different DOB's. In the example I am trying to Create a DOB_ERROR column and either say yes if the DOB doesn't match the other records in the file with the same empid.
SELECT Empid, DOB, CASE WHEN DOB = DOB THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END AS DOB_ERROR, City, St, Gender FROM Emp WHERE EMPID IN
I want to update tableToUpdate in batches of 5000 per batch and set the lastenecryptionDT to null based on the the join to the tableValues using the column ENCRYPTIONID, and also output updated rows into another table. Incase I would need to do a rollback.
I have 5 columns in my database. 1 column is coming like a dynamic.
I want to convert records from rows to columns. Currently I have a data like this.
Race AgeRange Amount
W 17-20 500 W 21-30 400 W 31-40 200 A 17-20 100 H 41-50 250 H 51-60 290
So age range is not fixed and it can be any and I have one separate relational table for age range where it's coming from. Now I want to convert it into columns like
I'm inserting records from a table to another table, having multiple columns
SampleQuery :
insert into tableB (col1,col2....col10) select col1,col2....col10 from tableA
* while executing this query im getting error. (like varchar cant convert to numberic) * Here I have no clue in which column it is * also dont know which row causes it
I have two tables that can be created with sample data using the DDL at the bottom of this post. What I'm looking to do is update the QtyReceived column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail from the Qty column in tblReceivedItems. However, the tricky part that I can't figure out is splitting these quantities out over multiple lines. I should only be allowed to receive up to the QtyOrdered column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail.
For a specific example from the sample data we'll look at PurchaseOrderDetailID 28526. From the tblReceivedItems, there are three records with quantities of 48, 48, and 20. From the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail there are three records of QtyOrdered of 55, 45, and 20. What I would like to happen is fulfill the records in the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail sequentially (essentially in order of ExpectedDate). So, the QtyReceived would be 55, 45, and 16 for the corresponding records. If there is already a quantity in the QtyReceived column, but it's less than the QtyOrdered column, the quantity needs to be added to the column (not overwritten).
DDL To CREATE Sample Tables and Data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblReceivedItems]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PurchaseOrderDetailID] [int] NULL, [Qty] [int] NULL) SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ON INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ([ID], [PurchaseOrderDetailID], [Qty]) VALUES (1, 28191, 48)
