SQL Server 2012 :: Query To Consolidate Data From Tables
Feb 12, 2014
I need to make a query that counts installed developer software for all our developers (from the sccm database), for licensing purposes. The trick here is that a license should only be counted once per. developer and that should be the highest version. But in the database, the developers can have different versions of the software installed (upgrades) on the same computer and they often use several computers with different software versions.
So for example: A source table with two developers
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| dev1 | comp1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013
| dev1 | comp1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010
| dev1 | comp2 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2010
| dev2 | comp3 | Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010
| dev2 | comp4 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I want the result to be:
-----------------------------------------------------
| dev1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013
| dev2 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012
------------------------------------------------------
I have created a query using cursors that give me the correct result, but it's way to slow to be acceptable (over 20 min..). I also toyed with the idea of creating some sort of CRL proc or function in C# that does the logic, but a SCCM consultant from MS said that if I create any kind of custom objects on the SCCM SQL Server instance, we loose all support from them. So I'm basically stuck with using good old fashioned T-SQL queries.
My idea now, is to use a CTE table and combine it with a Temp table with the software and a rank. I feel that I'm on the right track, but I just can't nail it properly.
This is how far I have come now:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#swRank') IS NULL CREATE TABLE #swRank(rankID int NOT NULL UNIQUE, vsVersion nvarchar(255))
INSERT INTO #swRank(rankID, vsVersion)
VALUES
(1, 'Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013'),
(2, 'Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012'),
I have a query currently that looks like this . @Month and @Year are supplied as parameters
SELECT -- select the sum for each year/month combination using a correlated subquery (each result from the main query causes another data retrieval operation to be run) (SELECT SUM(SalesofProductA) FROM #ABC WHERE [Year]=T.[Year] AND [Month]=T.[Month]) AS [Sum_SalesofProductA]
[Code] ...
Right now I see an output like this : for a particular value of @Month and @Year
SalesofProductA, SalesofProductB, SalesofProductC What I would like to see is :
I am in the process of migrating 300+ reports and 200ish subreports to SharePoint 2013 hosted. I wanted to avoid the duplication of creating copies of all the subreports across 9 different folders.
How can I combine two data files (i.e .mdf and .ndf). We had two data file in our old server due to disk limitation. In the new server we don't have such limitation so we like to consolidate the two file in one. What is the best way to accomplish that?
1. Take a subset of data from about 100 tables that have multiple references to other tables in this group of 100 from a first DB. 2. Insert the above data into a second DB, a database that already has data in the 100 tables, while maintaining the correct references.
As a general approach, the best way I can think of doing this is as follows:
1. Create mapping tables for every ID that is referenced in a different table (OldID NewID) 2. Insert the old data into the new table and output the OldID and NewID into the mapping table. 3. Use that mapping data to make sure all tables that use those IDs have the new IDs in DB2.
This approach is extremely labor intensive both on initial implementation and would require a fairly substantial amount of work to maintain going forward.
i need a query to return the top 10 tables in each database on a server. have used EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'sp_spaceused ''?''' which returns what I need for one db but I need it to loop through and gather the info for all dbs on server. maybe need cursor not sure. for reporting reasons i would like to include the name of the server and name of database.
I have found a bunch of duplicate records in our housing database that ideally I need to delete.There are two tables that I need to remove data from ih_cml_log_entry and ih_cml_log_notes. There is no unique identifier between the tables for a log entry. So I have had to join on the person_ref, log_seq and the date/time of entry.How do I go about deleting the data - I've used the script below to identify what I need to delete -
SELECT * FROM ( select cml.person_ref, cml.open_date + open_time as 'datetime',cml.open_user,cml.log_type ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY cml.person_ref, cml.open_date + cml.open_time,cml.open_user,cml.log_type ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS RowNo ,n.note FROM ih_cml_log_entry cml
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:
SELECT "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT", "NAME"."INTERNET-ADDRESS", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID" FROM "SKYWARD"."PUB"."NAME" "NAME", "SKYWARD"."PUB"."QUDDAT-DATA" "QUDDAT_DATA" WHERE ("NAME"."NAME-ID"="QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-SRC-ID") AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"=0 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID"=16 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT"=11237When I try to convert it into an
[Code] ....
I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
In a Library Management database we have these tables
1) Document ( DocNo , Doc_type , permalink,inDate) 2)Title(id, DocNo,Main_Title, Other_Title) 3)Author(id , Author_Name , Author_Family,Type--Like:main author , translator ,....) 4)Publisher(id,DocNo , Name,Publisedate,address) 5)Subject(id,DocNo,Subject) 6)Description(id,DocNo,ISBN,description)--one document may have some ISBN,etc
In document table I have 500,000 records.
I want to search a word in these tables ,for example i want to search 'Computer' ,this word may be in subject or title or description and etc. How can I do this with best performance?
I have 6 tables which are very huge in row count and records needs to deleted which are older than 8 days.
Little info: Every day, 300 Million records are inserted in below 7 tables. we should maintain only 8 days worth of data in below tables. How to implement Purge script which can delete records in all tables in the same time and with optimized parallelism.
Master table which has [ID],[Timestamp] Table Name: Sample - 2,578,106
Child tables: Foreign key [ID] is common for all the tables. There is no timestamp column in child table. So the records needs to deleted based on Min(ID) from Sample
I need to consume a live data feed from a golf tournament. And by consume, I really mean insert (merge) into our own SQL Server database on a regular intervals as a tournament progresses.This site didn't let me upload an XML file, but you can see a sample of the data feed here: URL....
I need to insert this data into 2 tables, Player_Holes and Player_Shots. But while doing the insert, I need to lookup several things such as our player ID match to theirs on an external_id against the players table. The shot types translation, and some other logic about the process overall.
The columns in my player_holes tables are: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shots (this is a total # of strokes) and date_created/date_modified.Shots table is similar: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shot_number, shot_type_id, club, distance, date_created/date_modified.
The only way I know how to do it, is inefficient. I would parse the XML in ColdFusion (please no comments on ColdFusion, that's what we use for webdev), and then loop over it and do inserts for each player, each hole for each round, and the shots would probably be separate for each hole.
It would be so much better and more efficient if I could do it in SQL directly. I've done some research and SQL Server Data Tools looks promising. I've never used it, so would have to learn, but also I'm not sure if that'd work in this application when we want to run is as a scheduled task every few minutes.
If F.parent_id(101)=T.team_id(101) and T.team_id(101)=T.parent_folder_id (101) then output should come as 'Mobile/c' (this is for f.parent_id=101)
If F.Parent_id=T.team_id and T.team_id!=T.parent_folder_id then parent_folder_id have to start search on team_id column where it got match and pick the Team_name from that corresponding id
Ex: F.parent_id=202 is matching with T.Team_id (202) but this T.team_id(202) is not matching with T.parent_folderid(200) , so this T.parent_folderid (200) have to search on T.id (200) ,if now T.id(200) is matching with T.Parent_folder_id(200) then it have to give the names from the starting hirache
I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.
i want to combine upper two tables data like below result sets. Means they should be grouped by bsns_id and its description should be comma separated taken from 2nd table. In sql server 2012.
We have about a dozen SQL server 2000 Enterprise Edition servers in house. Our goal is to set up a cluster SQL server 2005 and consodiate the existing dozen servers to a few servers for easy manage and maintainence. So there are 3 things that we want to accomplish:
1. upgrade to SQL server 2005,
2. Consolidate existing servers
3. Make a cluster server to get high availability
But I'm sure what's the right order to acheive them. To upgrade each server to 2005 and then move them to cluster server? or set up the cluster server in 2005 and restore existing dbs to the cluster server. upgrade first or cluster first? upgrade first or consolidate first? pros and cons? upgrade or backup/restore? What do you recommend? We have lots of stored procedures, views and triggers, DTS packages and some replications. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to extract some data from an XML column, into the demo below I would like to obtain the CommandText value but my attempts so far are in vain, I'm fairly sure its just a path issue in the .query command but I just can't seem to get it to work.
In the above data, no record exist for 201403,201404,201405, query I wrote will give only the data for which there LeftCount exists, but I am looking for a query which get the data in the below format.
I.E. I WANT two columns C1# and C2#, where C1# contains data from 2015 and C2# contains data from previous year (2014). If 2015 data is not present, then C1# will contain data of 2014 and C2# will contain data of 2013.
Let's say I have a table of data as per the below..
I'm trying to extract only the green highlighted items..
The rules applied are: Only the latest data concerning all cases, and only 1 line (the latest) per case.
As you can see in the image, I don't want the 2nd,3rd, and 4th record extracted cause they are all superseded by more recent records (identified as they are further in the table).
I've considered using either Distinct or Having? but can't get that to work.. If I could use Distinct but then ensure it's the latest record in the table that would be perfect.
I currently have a query that uses three tables [Table1, Table2, Table3]. Each table only has two columns: Group and something else. I want a query that gives me the group and those three something else.
Table1: Group and Info1 Table2: Group and Info2 Table3: Group and Info3 Query: Group, Info1, Info2, Info3
The groups never repeat in a single table.
However, the groups are not identical in every table. I want the groups to never repeat twice: All the groups should appear if they are there at least once in one of the table, and provide Info1, Info2, Info3 (blank if it's not there in its table, filled if it is).
That should be a fairly simple query, I just can't seem to make it work so groups don't repeat.
Little visual example.
Table1: Group - Info1 1 - a 2 - b 4 - c 5 - d
Table2: Group - Info2 1- aa 3- bb 4- cc
Table3: Group - Info3
5- aaa
The query would give me this:
1 - a - aa - "" 2 - b - "" - "" 3 - "" - bb - "" 4 - c - cc - "" 5 - d - "" - aaa
I have a table with dates and values and other columns. In a proc i need to get the result as Month and the values for all the months whether or not the data exists for the month.
The Similar table would be-
create table testing( DepDate datetime, val int) insert into testing values ('2014-01-10 00:00:00.000', 1) insert into testing values ('2014-05-19 00:00:00.000', 10) insert into testing values ('2014-08-15 00:00:00.000', 20) insert into testing values ('2014-11-20 00:00:00.000', 30)
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
We've had a new server set up with SQL 2012 and I'm in the process of moving data to it from a 2008 (SP2) server.
Details are as follows:- 2012 instance:- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5058.0 (X64) May 14 2014 18:34:29 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor)
2008 instance:- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0 (X64) Sep 16 2010 19:43:16 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (VM)
I don't want to do a backup/restore routine as there are collation conflicts on the 2008 server.I've created the database and tables on the 2012 instance and now I want to transfer the data from the 2008 instance to the 2012 one.
The 2012 instance has a linked server to the 2008 instance.I was trying to use sp_MSForEachTable (I know, it's old and will probably disappear shortly) but that doesn't seem to work properly because some of the columns have an Identity field set up.
Some of the tables have upwards of 10 million records in them and are quite sizeable.how I can achieve the transfer without a back-up/restore?
