SQL Server 2014 :: Recursive Family - Group All Related Members Under Same FamilyID
Jun 24, 2014
I have a family table and would like to group all related members under the same familyID. This is a replication of existing business data, 14,000 rows. The familyID can be randomly assigned to any group, its sole purpose is to group the names:
declare @tv table (member varchar(255), relatedTo varchar(255))
insert into @tv
select 'John', 'Mary'union all
select 'Mary', 'Jessica' union all
select 'Peter', 'Albert' union all
[Code] ....
I would like my result to look like this:
familyID Name
1 John
1 Mary
1 Jessica
1 Fred
2 Peter
2 Albert
2 Nancy
3 Abby
4 Joe
4 Frank

Hi all, What I'm trying to do and having a lot of trouble with is pulling how one user is related to another user from my database. I'll explain...
I set up a table called relationships that looks like this:
ID
type: int
RELID1
type: int, is the user id that initiated the relationship request.
RELID2
type: int, is the user id of the second person in the relationship.
Story
type: varchar(255), quick blerb on how they are related.
Type
type: int, a number 1-20 based on the relationship they have
Status
type: int, 1 = confirmed by second person, 0 = not confirmed
What i'd like to have pulled is a list of the people that person (for example: 70) is related to. I am having the two following problems:
1. unqid of "70" could be in RELID1 or RELID2 as they could have initiated the request or been the second person.
2. I don't want to display them selves in their own relationship listing
Example Data:
ID
1
2
3
4
RELID1
25
15
70
12
RELID2
54
70
13
8
Story
Met on the east coast
Met at walmart
Met walking
Met outside
Type
14
11
3
8
Status
1
1
1
1
Example Output:
Again assuming the current user is "70", the sql should pull: 15, 13.. but i'd like to pull their names from another table called "Users" where "15" and "13" are the UnqID's in a column called "ID".
So:
15 = Bob Smith
13 = Jane Doe
The following code works great that I got with the help on another form:
SELECT Relationship.RELID1
, Relationship.RELID2
, ReMembers.FirstName
, ReMembers.LastName
FROM Relationship
INNER
JOIN ReMembers
ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID1
WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70
UNION ALL
SELECT Relationship.RELID1
, Relationship.RELID2
, ReMembers.FirstName
, ReMembers.LastName
FROM Relationship
INNER
JOIN ReMembers
ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID2
WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70
My question is: What is the best way to set this table up? I'm not committed to any any design as of right now, but want to be sure I set it up in the most efficient manner.
Any feedback / opinions are welcome! :)

My question is I have a SQL Server running on Web Server which is a member of a 2000 Active Directory, I only grant access to the database via Global Groups from the Active Directory. When I log onto the database via Windows Authentication the actual user shows up in the master.dbo.sysprocesses table, I can tell what database that process is going to but not how that user is being translated to the Global Group that was actually given access. I need the actual database user name which is the Global Group name that had permissions granted via user defined database roles so that I can do some pre-processing in an ASP.NET application so that I know what parts of a form are updatable or not.

Hi,
It's a long story i'll try to make short, I am running a MDX query through Integration Services, this query is very very memory intensive, so intensive I get a System.outofmemory error. The workaround for this was getting the data in smaller ranges. this works fine in Management Studio.
select { many measures and calculated members} on columns,
[Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[1]: [Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[10000] on rows
from DB
WHERE [Tiempo].[Mes].&[2007-09-01T00:00:00] : [Tiempo].[Mes].&[2007-11-01T00:00:00]
Now, in Integration services the optimal way of running a MDX query should be through an OLEDB source, but as it's stated in many sites around the web there is an error that hasn't been fixed. So I moved to a Datareder which is much slower, but works... kind of... to get the whole data out of the cube I am getting it in ranges which I should change with parameters, but MDX doesn't support parameters so I have to change the whole query using an expression.
Finally the problem with this is that the query I am running is longer than 4000 characters which is the limit for an expression on integration services. Here is when someone told me to shrink my query by using named sets, and this is what i don't know how to do, is there any way of grouping all the calculated members I have created in one named set or something alike.
thanks!

I am trying to get members of an Active Directory group by querying the AD server from Transact-SQL (SQL Server 2005). Although there does not seem to be any written list of LDAP attributes that can be queried in AD (or I am not finding it), I have gotten this far:
SELECT * FROM
OPENQUERY( MYSERVER,
'SELECT cn, msExchHomeServerName, userPrincipalName FROM ''LDAP://CN=Users,DC=MYSERVER,DC=COM'' WHERE userPrincipalName=''*'' ')
This gives me a user list. But I can't find the syntax or attribute name(s) to query in order to get the membership of a specific group - for example, the group "SQL_Developers".
Anybody out there familiar enough with LDAP, AD and OPENQUERY() to give me a hand?
Thanks....

I want to group the following data attached by CUSTACCT, YEAR, PERIOD(month). As you can see in the attached example, I see duplicates for late fees and Exchange fees but none for FLIGHT_HRS. I want to see the data grouped by CUSTACCT by YEAR then by PERIOD for each of these: FLIGHTHRSSUM, LATEFEESUM, EXCHFEESUM without duplicates.
Is this possible?
This is my current SQL
SELECT dbo.VIEW_FLIGHT_HRS_TOT.YEAR AS FLTHRSYEAR, dbo.VIEW_FLIGHT_HRS_TOT.PERIOD AS FLTHRSPERIOD, dbo.VIEW_FLIGHT_HRS_TOT.FLIGHTHRSSUM,
dbo.VIEW_LATE_FEES_TOT.PERIOD AS LATEFEEPERIOD, dbo.VIEW_LATE_FEES_TOT.YEAR AS LATEFEEYEAR, dbo.VIEW_LATE_FEES_TOT.LATEFEESUM,

We have an application that can spit out our Facility Structure into the following format. However, we have a need to take that data and feed it into another system. However, as you can see it is organized in a PARENT / CHILD structure.
Indent Level Key:
1System
2Facility
3Service Line
4Division
5Department
If you notice, each additional row is the child row to its parent above it as long as the Indent Level Key continues to increment. Once we start going back up the structure we essentially have a new Division/Service Line/or Facility depending on how far back we jump on the Indent Level for that next row. Here is some sample data.
--===== If the test table already exists, drop it
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#Test_Data','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Test_Data
--===== Create the test table with
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

I noticed that by inserting another group higher than the existing one gave me the effect of a nested group...so what would a recursive hierarchy have done for me that is different? I read the BOL writeup and didnt come away with any sense of what these hierarchies offer, seemingly thru the use of a "parent" entry.

Recently after turning on trace I restarted the sql services on a box which is configured for automatic failover availability groups. The ag has not failed over to other node. The other node was in resolving state. When the restarted server is back, the AG went back to that server. I checked the sys.availability groups field for failover property failure condition level, it's set to 1 which means service restarts should initiate the failover.

What I asked for: Three Windows Server 2012 R2 machines with independent storage running a SQL Server 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Group. DB1 would be the primary, DB2 would be a synchronous replica, and DB3 would be a remote asynchronous replica.
What I was given: a two-node Windows Server 2012 R2 WSFC to run SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with shared storage and a third (remote) Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with independent storage, also with SQL Server 2014 Enterprise, to host an AlwaysOn Availability Groups asynchronous replica.
DB1 and DB2 (as Cluster1) share an E: drive. The remote DB3 has its own E: drive. Initially, DB3’s E: drive was claimed as a cluster resource and I couldn’t even see it. I’ve had several ugly days trying to make this work and have temporarily given up, installing DB3 as a standalone SQL Server that is no longer part of the WSFC and pointing everything towards that (it was originally a third node in the WSFC).
Is it possible to create an AlwaysOn Availability Group with nested clusters (i.e. create the AOAG with Cluster1 and DB3 and somehow ignore the individual nodes that comprise Cluster1)?

I need to group up the records randomly into ‘n’ number of batches. That can be done by NTILE, but I want group up similar records in single group.
Say for example, following is the list of records I have in my table which I want to group into 5 batches
A123
A124
A124
A123
A127
After Ntile I will get the below,
Desired output is, Need output like Ntile but all same id should reside in single batch
Even if I n=5, maximum possibility of batches are 3 only.

I have a user, who is trying log into the server, but everytime he gets this error saying something about the Group policy denies him access.
This user needs access and i'm trying to understand how to grant it to him.
I have been looking into how i can access the group policy editor, but the farthest i can get is the Local group policy editor. How do i make sure this specific user has access?

I setup an availability Group. (Only 2 servers - Primary And secondary) -- 21 , 22
I also define an listener . IP .. 23
1- In First step I connected To Listener (23) And in a while I inserted A record to a table .
While 1=1
insert into Tbl_T1(f1,f2) Values (1,2)
2- in second, I Stop the primary .
- I expected this while whitout disconnect, continue.
3- The while code stopped whit this message :
Msg 64, Level 20, State 0, Line 0 A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
4- I execute again the script, And it worked in new primary.
My questions :
1- is the listener disconnected between switched primary and secondary ? OR have we data loss between switching?
2- I did some huge update on Primary that fill the Log fiel space. And in last Update I got this error :
Msg 9002, Level 17, State 2, Line 27
The transaction log for database 'Your_DB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.
Is this (Fill All space) a reason to switch primary? Or not ?

I'm running a primary and secondary on sql server 2012 enterprise edition on windows server 2012, and it runs fine except when a network outage occurs.
Then the handshaking keeps failing, the databases on the replica show as not synchronizing and the only way to fix this is to reboot both primary and secondary.
We keep getting 3520's, etc. on the DR error log
How to eliminate all these prod reboots?
I increased query connection timeouts to 60, but saw no change.

I am trying to restore a 2005 backup to a 2005 database on another server. This has worked for me before. I have tried to take the backup 5 times now and each time I get the error media family incorrectly formed. Since I have successfully backed up and restored before between these same two databases I do not understand what is wrong now.
I found other questions with this error; however, they were taking a 2000 backup to a 2005 database. I am using a backup of a 2005 database to a 2005 restore.
How should I begin to debug this problem?

A little background on what I am trying to achieve first. We are moving to Azure virtual machines and we will have 8 disks on the SQL Server box. I am adding more files to the primary file group and each file will go on its own drive. I am then rebalancing data across these files by rebuilding all of the indexes on the tables which is working fine. No problems so far all is good.
I now have an additional problem. If there is a lob or blob column on the table, rebuilding the clustered index and all the non clustered indexes doesn't rebalance the blob or lob data across the disks such as it does with in row data.
I cannot find any articles on rebalancing lob or blob data because all the articles say to move to a new file group. I do not want a new file group, I just want to use the primary file group where the data already resides, and just redistribute it evenly in the same way that I can in row data which is working fine.
One solution I thought about was to BCP data out of the table, truncate the table and then BCP back into the table which I imagine would have the desired effect of distributing the data evenly over the files.

For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?

Problem setting is a geography dimension with multiple user defined hierarchies in SSAS 2008.Â
Ex.:Â
Hierarchy 1 (political territory): level 6 --> level 5 --> level 4 --> level 3 (state) --> level 2 --> level 1
Hierarchy 2 (sales territory): level 4 --> level 3 --> level 2 (sales region) --> level 1
...
Hierarchy 9
The relationship between state and sales region is n:1, i.e. one state belongs to exactly one sales region, and one sales region can consists of one or multiple states.  Unfortunatly I can't define this attribute relationsship in the dimension because it would lead to a diamond-shaped relationsship without a user-defined-hierarchy to back it up. So far that isn't much of a problem, user don't drill down from sales region to state. But now I want to define a calculated member that multiplies a measure from the main measure group with another measure from a weighting factor measure group at the state level and above. The granularity attribute of the geography dimension in the dimension usage tab of the weighting factor measuregroup is the state.Â
So far what I've got is:
CREATE MEMBER Currentcube.Measures.[weighted measure state and above] AS NULL;
SCOPE (Measures.[weighted measure state and above],
Descendants(geography.[political territory].[all member],3,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
Descendants(geography.[salesterritory].[all member],2,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
... Descendants(geography.[hierarchy 9].[all member],1,SELF_AND_BEFORE)); this = sum(existing(geography.[political territory].state.members), measures.[main measure group measure] * measures.[weighting measure group measure]);END SCOPE;
This works from a functional point of view, but is rather slow when querying any other hierarchy than the political territory hierarchy, because SSAS first goes down from the state level to the key attribute of the geography dimension, and then aggregates from there to the sales region.In other words, I want SSAS to resolve the relationsship (which state belongs to which sales region) through the dimension, and not through the fact, and apply the calculation afterwards. Like some kind of currency conversion, but only from a certain level upwards.

Okie, this one has me a little stumped so bear with me an I will explain as best I can....
I have a family tree database...
The two key tables (for this problem) are Person and Child. The person table is your generic person details table and contains, PersonId, PersonFirstName, PersonLastName, PersonDOB etc. The Child table is a linking table that links a PersonId to a ChildPersonId (so both Id's are valid Id's in the person table).
Now what I want to try and achieve is a breakdown of the different branchs of the family tree. A branch is an independant, unattached section of the tree (if that makes sense). It's a grouping of people we know are related but we can't determine how they are related to another group of people in the tree.
If you look at this http://gw.geneanet.org/index.php3?b=bengos&lang=en;m=N;v=van+halewyn you will get an idea of what I mean.
I'm not sure if this is something that can be don't with a query at all the be honest... I suspect that I will have to wrap some other code around it, but I'm really not sure on what approach I should be using. Any help people could offer would be great.

It isfairly easy to make a ParentID field that would indicate the Canadianthing descended from the US thing.But, if I then make a British thing from the Canadian one (and I wantto do this because the Canadian one is a closer match to what theBritish one needs to be), it becomes more complicated... I can put theID of the Canadian one in the ParentId field of the British one. Butthen I need to run multiple queries to build the complete lineage backto the original US record.More so, if I want to allow n-number of levels to the relationshipsbetween these things, it becomes even more difficult.This type of issue has come up repeatedly in my work, so I assume itis not a new problem and that there may be a "best practice" forhandling it.Can anyone offer any advice, an answer, or point me toward a placewhere I may find the answer?Thanks in advance!
