SQL Server 2012 :: How To Stop Select For XML Explicit From Escaping Inner
Jun 3, 2014
I'm working on a script to produce XML. There are two parts to the XML: an envelope (called "message") and a payload ("payload). Here's an example of what the result should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<message guid="cb9f7927-a4c7-44f8-9e55-bd5dd3e85894">
<client name="BNS CASL Client" guid="3dc500f3-dffb-455f-a071-12c4fa37a1eb" endPoint="http://localhost:51873/CASLWS.aspx" />
<payload>
<![CDATA[
[code]....
(Note that I had to add a space between the '&' and 'lt' and 'gt' to get it to post in the forum without the forum converting them back to < and >!)You can see that SQL escaped the < and >. Also the CDATA escape sequence is missing.I want to see < instead of & lt and > instead of & gt. Also, I need the CDATA escape sequence.

I know that if I have an nvarchar column I can use an equality like = N'supersqlstring' so it doesn't implicit cast as a varchar, like if I were to do ='supersqlstring'. And then I'll be a big SQL hero and all my stored procedures will run before a millisecond can whisper.
But if I'm comparing an nvarchar column to a varchar column, is it better to cast the varchar 'up' to an nvarchar or cast the nvarchar 'down' to a varchar?
For instance:
cast(a.varchar as nvarchar(100)) = an.nvarchar
or
cast(an.nvarchar as varchar(100)) = a.varchar
Leaving aside non-matching, like (at least I don't think) that SQL considers the varchar n to be equal to the nvarchar ń, what's the best way to handle this?
Pretend for a moment that each column contains a mixed letter and number ID with no accented or wiggly-squiggly Unicode characters; it's just designs clashing.
Is there a performance hitch doing it one way or another? Should I use COLLATE? Should one of the columns be altered?

This store procedure will get some executable queries from the select statement, the cursor will fetch each rows to execute the query and insert the queries into table_3 to mark as 'E'. Until 17:00, this store procedure will stop execute the queries and just get the queries from select statement insert into table_3 to mark as 'C'.
I don't know why the outputs in table_3 are quiet different than I think. This store procedure comes out with two exactly same queries and one marked as C and another marked as E.
CREATE PROCEDURE procedure1
AS
DECLARE cursor_1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT
'This is a executable query'
FROM table_1
DECLARE @table_2

I am trying to create a SSIS package that will create a csv of a dataset for daily events in the database. However there will be days that there was no activity and thus an empty dataset. The package still runs fine but I want to stop the package if the dataset is empty.
FLOW:
DATA FLOW task: get daily data and put in CSV file
FTP TASK: upload the file to FTP server
MAIL/Copy file task: Move the file and then send a confirmation mail on task completion status.
Pretty simple and it all works great, I do have a few complexities in there. What I would like to add and I am at a loss is at the beginning, if the OLE DB Task resultset is empty then move to Mail Task otherwise process normally. I have tried conditional split, derived columns, the only thing I haven't tried in Script task and am not sure about that yet.

I have a table called Appointment, for storing (you guessed it) appointments at a medical practice. If an appointment is cancelled, I want to collect a cancellation reason, so let's say that I create a second table called Cancellation which has a foreign key relating to the Appointment table's primary key, AppointmentID, and another column, Reason. Now, in order to indicate that an appointment was cancelled, I could include a Cancelled column in the Appointment table with a bit datatype, or instead I could infer that an appointment must be cancelled if it has a corresponding record in the Cancellation table.
It may be that it'd be better to store the cancellation reason in the Appointment table - But regardless, let's say I stick with the two-table solution described above, and I subsequently want to write a query to list all appointments which have been cancelled. If I had the Cancelled column in the Appointment table, I could simply query for all records in that table where that column's value was FALSE. If I went the other way and DIDN'T have a Cancelled column, I could instead write a query joining the Appointment and Cancellation tables to return all records in Appointment with a corresponding record in Cancellation.
That latter method, whilst slightly more complicated because it involves joining two tables, seems to me to be the most normalised. Instead of storing the fact that an appointment is cancelled in two different tables, that fact is only stored in the Cancellation table. Would there be a performance hit in using the two-table, 'inferred cancellation' method rather than just having a bit column in the Appointment table? Would that performance hit be enough to persuade you to use a Cancellation column in the Appointment table instead? And what about if I were to apply that method to other things associated with each appointment, e.g. Is it completed? Is it chargeable to the client or an insurance company? Is the client and in-patient or out-patient?

App developers are complaining that a blocking report I sent them today does not have enough info to troubleshoot and fix the root cause of the blocking.(I used SQL Sentry to get the report and send to the users, but I think my question is more fundamental than just using one 3rd-party tool.)The reason for the complaints is that the top blocker is a SELECT stmt on TableA that is not the Wait Resource of the blocking (TableB).
I explained that this is likely because the "blocking" SELECT stmt on TableA is part of a larger explicit tran that includes TableB, and that they need to look through their code to identify the SQL stmt that is the root cause of the blocking.They would like that root statement identified in the blocking report, but I don't think it is possible to get to that through DMVs.

If a column is set to allow nulls I know that a constraint can be used to supply a default (i.e. GetDate() ) when no value is provided but what about when an explicit NULL is provided in an INSERT or UPDATE statement?Is there any way other then an AFTER trigger to substitute a value for an explicitly provided NULL? In other words, assuming that dtAsof is a NULL enabled column, is there any way to over ride what the following will do to MYTABLE:
INSERT MYTABLE(sCol1, sCol2, sCol3, dtAsOf)
SELECT 'a', 'b', 'c', NULL
If there's no way to do this in SQL Server 2008R2 then what about later versions of SQL Server? Do any more recent versions have a way to deal with this? We have a third party app that uses a SQL Server back end and many of the tables have columns for storing audit like data such as date/time but many are left to NULL values and I'd really like to fix that in as passive a way as possible so as to not break the app that uses the database. I know a constraint with a default can be sued to over ride a null but not when a null is explicitly provided.

Hi, i'm having problems executing the followingSET @SQLAH = 'SELECT sub_id WHERE 'SET @SQLAH = @SQLAH + 'VENUE_TYPE = Hotel'EXEC(@SQLAH)Its getting stuck at Hotel. I realise that it should include an apostrophe either side like so:..SET @SQLAH = @SQLAH + 'VENUE_TYPE = 'Hotel' '..But this escapes the string, how would i escape an apostrophe in a string?I thought maybe:SET @SQLAH = @SQLAH + 'VENUE_TYPE = 'Hotel' 'But no joy :confused: Thanks

Hi,
I have a parameterized query. The parameters contain data from my tables. Some of the parameters could include single quotes. The single quotes are wreaking havoc in my parameterized query. How can I replace single quotes with double quotes inside of my SQL stored
procedure?
I know that it's something similar to REPLACE(@variablename, '''''', ''''''''), but I can't get the number of quotes right.
All of the examples that I am seeing are converting the quotes inside of an application. This is not an option for me, as I am calling this stored procedure from a SQL job that will run daily.
Thx.

I have some code (C#) that runs an SQL update query that sets thevalue of a column to what the user passes. So, this causes an errorwhen anything the user passes in has a ' character in it. I'm surethere's other characters that'll break it too. So, I was wondering,how do I get around this? Is there some commonly accepted regexpattern that will make the value safe to run in an SQL query? How canI take care of any values that need to be escaped?I'm not using any fancy ado.net objects:string sql= [whatever the user passes in]SqlConnection connection = newSqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrin gs[Utils.GetConnectionString].ToString());connection.Open();SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;command.CommandText = sql;try{int result = command.ExecuteNonQuery();if (result != 1){Response.StatusCode = 500;Response.Write("The file has been uploaded, but wecould not update the DB");Response.End();}}catch (InvalidOperationException){Response.Clear();Response.Write("error");Response.StatusCode = 500;Response.End();}connection.Close();

The developers in our shop have a need to explicitly grant view definition permissions to themselves on stored procedures they create in their development databases. They have dbo level permissions in these databases and although they can explicitly grant view definition permissions to other developers in the same database, they are unable to do so for themselves. When they attempt this, it appears that they are successful but when they check the stored procedure afterwards the permission is not there for themselves.
While this does not cause an issue in development, the intention is for these view definition permissions to be carried forward to the test and production databases where they only have datareader permissions.
When these stored procedures are scripted out by the dba to move to Test and Production the view definition permissions are not scripted out for the developer in question.
Is there a way that a developer with dbo rights in a database can explicitly grant themselves view definition permissions on a stored procedure they create as dbo?

Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

Much to my surprise and dismay, after burning hours and hours developing various SSIS packages to extract data from my SQL 2005 DB to CSV flat files, I found out the hard way that SSIS doesn't properly escape quotes (") in the data (my output file is required to have quotes as text qualifiers).
It seems like I'm pretty much forced to create derived columns to test for the existence of quotes in my data, then either escape them or replace them with another character.
This is really NOT COOL. Not only will this significantly hinder performance, it makes my packages a heck of a lot more complicated (especially when I'm exporting lots of text columns).
Am I doing something wrong, or does SSIS really not escape the text qualifier in a delimited flat file? If so, someone PLEASE tell me this will be fixed in the very near future.

What I need to do it select the top 80 percent of records per group based on the group total. To be clear I am not trying to just grab the top x percent of rows.
Table 1:
DealerID RepairID
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 6
1 7
1 8
1 9
1 10
2 11
2 12
2 13
Table 2:
RepairID Tire
1 225/65R17 102T
2 225/65R17 102T
3 225/65R17 102T
4 235/60R18 102V
5 235/60R18 102V
6 235/60R18 102V
7 235/60R18 102V
8 205/55R16 89H
9 205/70R15 89H
13 225/65R17 102T
Table 1 has the total number of repair orders per dealer. This can be obtained by simply grouping on DealerID and counting the number of RepairIDs.
Table 2 has information on some of the repair orders and it is needed to select the top 80% of tire sizes. This table will be joined to Table 1 and grouped by DealerID and Tire.
Desired Output:
DealerIDTire RepairsOfThisTireRepairCount PercentOfTotalRepairOrders
1 235/60R18 102V4 10 40
1 225/65R17 102T3 10 30
1 205/55R16 89H1 10 10
2 225/65R17 102T1 3 33
The equation I am given to calculate the top tires per dealer is as follows: Total # of tires for the size / Total # of repair orders per dealer.
Here is what I have so far though I think I might have to rewrite all of it.
SELECT
DealerID ,
COUNT(RepairID)
INTO #TotalDealerRepairOrders
FROM
dbo.Table1
GROUP BY
DealerID
SELECT

Table StudentCard: field ID, foreign key on table Librarians and other fields, which we don't use
Table TeacherCard: field ID, foreign key on table Librarians and other fields, which we don't use
Query: Select the librarian's surname, which gave the most count of books.
I know, how to resolve, when i took datas only from one table, e. g. TeacherCard
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES Librarians.LastName, MAX(Librarians.CountOfBooks) AS Books FROM
(SELECT L.LastName, COUNT(*) AS CountOfBooks FROM Libs L, T_Cards T
WHERE T.Id_Lib IN (SELECT L.Id)
GROUP BY L.LastName) AS Librarians
GROUP BY Librarians.LastName
ORDER BY MAX(Librarians.CountOfBooks) DESC
GO
I dont know, how to use datas from TeacherCard and from StudetnCard at the same time.

We have a large 'History' database that is currently about 4.5TB, with most of that in a datafile that is 4.2TB. We wanted to stop growth on the one large data file and have SQL Server allocate new data to the other data files, but this throws an error when we attempt to change the MAXSIZE settings:
ALTER failed for Database 'History'
MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than or equal to current size.
The SQL Server is saying we can have a max size of 2TB, and anything over that is blocked. Since this is being blocked, the file continues to grow.
Is there any way to cap the growth of the 4.2TB file and not allow any more data to be written to it?
