SQL Server 2012 :: Query To List Win / Loss Streaks
Nov 5, 2014
I have a Games table in a SQL Server 2012 database with game results from our league, including home and away scores, dates, and teams. How can I query to list streaks - that is, wins or losses of 2 more games in a row throughout a season?
I was just given an excel file with a list of 300 Stores.
I need to find out if these stores are selling our products and if they are , how many products they are selling.
One way of doing this , that I can think of right now is individually querying the Transactions table for each of the store in the excel sheet and then copy the results output back to the excel sheet.
Is there a way I can write a query against all the Store names from the excel file ? I need to get this done in the next few hours.
I have a group of about 5 servers (which will likely grow toabout 25 in the near future) with their names listed in a table in a database on one of the servers. I want to query all servers in that table using the following query to pull the storage drive, database name, created date, age and size of the databases for each server listed in the table:
SELECT left(mf.Physical_Name,2) AS Storage_Drive, DB_NAME(mf.database_id) AS DatabaseName, db.create_Date, DateDiff(day, db.create_date, getDate()) Age, sum((mf.size*8))/1024 SizeMB
[Code] ...
How would I best accomplish this if I want to implement it using a TSQL procedure?
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I have attached some test data for you that has two temp tables "#worker" and "#worker_rate".
The issue is to find all workers who are sharing SAME SET of rate_codes.
I'm able to get the output as "workers sharing same rate_codes", but unfortunately I could not get the list of workers sharing same SET of rate_codes. Also definition of SAME SET is not defined.
I have two tables, a dates table and a values table. They are joined on the date column.The date table has a range, say from today as far as 20 days from now, incrementing by 1 day each row.The values table may have a row for a day, and may not. If the day has a value I want to display that value.If the day does not have a value in the values table I want to display the last known value.
I think this can be done with windowing functions in a set based manner but have not been able to work it out. I have done it procedurally but im not happy with that at all, and really want to see if this is possible in a set based manner.Below is some simplified code to allow testing with sample data.
create table DimDate ( DateCol date ) create table TotalsData ( DateCol date
SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @items TABLE (ITEM_ID INT, ITEM_NAME VARCHAR(10)) INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 10,'ITEM 1' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 11,'ITEM 2' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 12,'ITEM 3' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 13,'ITEM 4' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 14,'ITEM 5' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 15,'ITEM 6' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 16,'ITEM 7' INSERT INTO @items (ITEM_ID, ITEM_NAME) SELECT 17,'ITEM 8' SELECT * FROM @items
-- table with categories
SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @categories TABLE (CAT_ID INT, CAT_NAME VARCHAR(10)) INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 100,'WHITE' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 101,'BLACK' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 102,'BLUE' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 103,'GREEN' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 104,'YELLOW' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 105,'CIRCLE' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 106,'SQUARE' INSERT INTO @categories (CAT_ID, CAT_NAME) SELECT 107,'TRIANGLE' SELECT * FROM @categories
--table where categories are assigned to master categories
SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @master_categories TABLE (MASTERCAT_ID INT, CAT_ID INT) INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 1,100 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 1,101 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 1,102 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 1,103 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 1,104 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 2,105 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 2,106 INSERT INTO @master_categories (MASTERCAT_ID, CAT_ID) SELECT 2,107 SELECT * FROM @master_categories
-- items-categories assignment table
SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @item_categories TABLE (CAT_ID INT, ITEM_ID INT) INSERT INTO @item_categories (CAT_ID, ITEM_ID) SELECT 100,10 INSERT INTO @item_categories (CAT_ID, ITEM_ID) SELECT 105,10 INSERT INTO @item_categories (CAT_ID, ITEM_ID) SELECT 100,11 INSERT INTO @item_categories (CAT_ID, ITEM_ID) SELECT 105,11
[code]....
So now I need to query the table @t4 in and to determine the items that are assigned to category 'WHITE' in master category 1 and to 'CIRCLE' in master category 2.The important thing is to return items that are assigned solely to 'WHITE' in master cat 1 and solely to 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2.In the above example it would be only the ITEM 1 (id=10) that is returned:
1. ITEM 2 (id=11) is not returned because it has the assignment to category 'SQUARE' in master cat 2 additionally
2. ITEM 3 (id=12) is not returned because it has the assignment to category 'BLACK' in master cat 1 additionally
3. ITEM 4 (id=13) is not returned as it does not have assignment to category 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2 but only to 'WHITE' in master cat 1
3. ITEM 5 (id=14) is not returned as it does not have assignment to category 'WHITE' in master cat 1 but only to 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2
SELECT event_data.value('(event/data/value)[4]', 'bigint') AS cpu_time, --database name event_data.value('(event/data/value)[5]', 'bigint') AS duration, --estimated cost --estimated rows --nest level
[code]...
Basically, is a simple T-SQL query that reads the local file for my already setup extended event sessions. But I can't find the way to retrieve the following attributes as part as the T-SQL query:
--database name --estimated cost --estimated rows --nest level --object name
I am trying to find a BOL or some MS link with the full list of possible values for event_data.value but can't find one.
Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6 33 52 47 23 17 28 ... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.
comparing UNIQUEIDENTIFIER columns..This query returns several rows where the [ReportId] and [LastRunDate] columns are both NULL:
SELECT [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID] , MAX([TimeStart]) [LastRunDate] FROM [dbo].[Catalog] [c] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] [xl] on [c].[ItemID] = [xl].[ReportID] WHERE [c].[Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source! group by [c].[Name],[c].[ItemID],[xl].[ReportID] order by 4
However, trying to just list catalog reports with no execution history returns 0 rows, but I'm expecting it to return a row for every NULL [ReportId] from the above query:
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Catalog] WHERE [Type] NOT IN (1,5) -- Not a folder or a data source! AND [ItemID] NOT IN (SELECT [ReportID] FROM [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage])
I even tried casting [ItemId] and [ReportId] columns in the 2nd query to VARCHAR(255), and still got no rows, but the following queries return 0 rows and 1 row (respectively).
select * from [dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] where [ReportID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1' select * from [dbo].[Catalog] where [ItemID] = '0BB2209C-7736-46C8-AD02-4614EBA4F0F1'
I have a specific variation on the standard 'Column Invalid' question: I have this query that works fine:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC , vd.RType
[Code] ....
When I add this second average column like this:
SELECT vd.Question , csq.Q# , csq.Q_Sort , csq.Q_SubSort , AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,
[Code] ....
I get the error: Column 'dbo.vwData.Response' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Clearly things are in the right place before the change, so I can only assume that the OVER clause is my problem. Is this just not possible?
In this case I would like to output a single result for each order, but based on stock availability order 123 is not a complete order and 124 is so the results will need to reflect this.
Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following: Code: If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF (SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB) Return False ELSE Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
We wanted to rebuild our main SQL server machine. How can we backup everything about the SQL server (such as all databases/objects and settings on security and users) and then recover them without any data loss? A related question is how to recover the server machine in case of system failure or whole machine crash down? Thanks!
I am trying to print Companies with less than 100 employees for all dates.Here's my table structure
Create table CompanyEmployeeArchive( Company varchar(100) not null, Employees int, Dateinserted date)
Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Microsoft',1001,'2015-01-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Microsoft',1050,'2015-02-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Microsoft',1600,'2015-03-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('IBM',10,'2015-01-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('IBM',80,'2015-02-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Apple',90,'2015-01-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Apple',900,'2015-02-01') Insert into CompanyEmployeeArchive values('Apple',1000,'2015-03-01')
I want companies that have employees less than 100 for all dates i.e. Only IBM. Apple has < 100 employees only on one month.Select Company, dateinserted, employees from CompanyEmployeeArchive group by company,dateinserted,employees having employees < 100 order by company, dateinserted this query lists Apple too. How can I change the query so Apple does not show up in the list.
Looking at an execution plan today I noticed something I've not seen before. The plan includes a non clustered index seek, followed by a RID lookup on the heap. The output list for the index seek contains the expected "Bmk" column (in this case "Bmk1473"), but also includes "IsBaseRow1475". This isn't a column from the table.
I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
Supposing there are three Columns: Countries, Provinces and States.Then when the user enters “USA” for country, it will bring up a list of states, if they enter “Canada” for country, it will bring up a list of provinces, if they enter another country, it will not bring up any list?
I would like to replace mymail@mail.com by mypdl@mail.com , where mypdl is basically a people distribution list with 2 emails: my own email and my coworker and fellow DBA.
IF EXISTS ( SELECT TOP 1 [PercentUsed] FROM [BackupSize] WHERE PercentUsed>=70 AND [drivename]='D:' -- D is the internal drive ORDER BY [MetricDate] DESC
[Code] ...
But I think this won't work by design. Maybe I need to create an operator?
Is there a command at the CLI or in PowerShell that will list the components installed for SQL? I'm looking for something like the Feature List you can get from running the discovery report from Tools in the SQL Server Installation Center program option.
I'm running SQL Server 2012 on the CORE version of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
1. A few months ago, I received a request to deny delete to a group (Windows AD login) against 3 databases. So I issued a DENY DELETE to the relevant Windows login.
2. Now, someone is having trouble updating data. The issue seems to be that a trigger fires during the update. In the trigger the code tries to delete from a table in the previously delete-denied databases. So the update fails.
-- In retrospect, perhaps I should have used REVOKE - not sure
-- Also, I can't seem to find a listing of the DENY permissions - or rather, how to list what permissions are denied. I guess maybe that is a hard thing to do if the result of a DENY is to leave certain permission columns NULL (vs adding 'DENY'). But it would be useful for me to see what the current permission state is.
-- Finally, I tried to undo the DENY without success. Here is my attempt.
a. I tried GRANT DELETE... - no luck b. Then I saw an article explaining to use REVOKE, so I tried 'REVOKE DELETE' followed by 'GRANT DELETE' - still no luck.
I am getting error [[Msg 116, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 .Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.]] for the below script.
1) SSRS in native mode 2) 2012 3) I have "Browser, Content Manager, My Reports, Publisher, Report Builder" permissions on the folder that has the report
I can't see the drop down list associated with the report that's hosted inside the folder. Here's what I mean by drop down list -- the one that lists things like: properties, subscribe, etc. In other words If i click on that dropdown arrow, I don't see the list.
Below is what I have so far Also I am getting other FRID besides 0 as well.
Select P.PartID, P.mansPart, P.Cost As PartCost, V.PartID, V.PartNo, V.price As VendPrice, M.title, C.CoName, P.FRID From Parts As P Right Join Vend2Part As V On P.PartID = V.PartID And P.FRID = V.FRID Left Join companies As C
