SQL Query Doubt

Jun 26, 2007

Hello:

I had a Sql query doubt. I have two tables. One is table with profile data but in this table instead of actually values it stores codes. The value of each code is stored in another table. Something like this

Profile Table

ProfileID    Title  First Name  Last Name       State

1             122          xxx          yyy                 333

So as you can see title and state both are code which are further stored in another table which is something like this

Code_ID         Code_Value

122                   Director

124                   International

333                  AZ

Now I want to replace all these codes with values. Something like this

ProfileID    Title               First Name  Last Name       State

1             Director           xxx              yyy                 AZ

I tried Case statement but it fails. I am not sure how to do this. I have hundred thousands of records to doing programmaticall slows the process. I would appreciate your help or ideas.

Sql Query Doubt

Oct 1, 2006

Hey,

I was browsing the slides of Database System Concepts, when I came across this (quoting):

"
Some updates through views are impossible to translate into updates on the database relations

create view v as
select loan_number, branch_name, amount
from loan
where branch_name= €˜Perryridge€™
insert into v values('L-99','Downtown', '23')
"

now... why is it impossible? I really cant see the problem here...
Any help?

Thanks

Doubt In HOW TO: Query And Display Excel Data By Using ASP.NET, ADO.NET, And Visual C# .NET

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,In my application, I need to copy data from an Excel file into a SQLtable. The article related to this can be found athttp://support.microsoft.com/defaul...Ben-us%3B306572Using this,I am first extracting data from given excel file into atemporary DataTable. After making some operations on that DataTable(like splitting one column into two), I am saving the data into actualtable in SQL Server.My doubt is that, in the above given link, there are few steps neededto do on the excel file... eg.--> Highlight the rows and columns where the data resides.--> On the Insert menu, point to Name, and then click Define.--> In the Names in workbook text box, type myRange1, and then clickOK.I don't want my client to do thsese operations everytime he changescontents in that excel file, as this excel file changes almost daily.The extracting of data from excel file is done after clicking UPDATEbutton on webpage. The person saving data into Excel file is differnetfrom the one who updates it into SQL.Is there any other way where we can directly copy data from excel fileinto DataTable without doing the above three steps?I am using Visual Studio.NET 2003,SQL Server 2000 and C# as developinglanguage for this web-based project.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Regards,RK.

Doubt On Recovery

Aug 9, 1999

When I try to restore a database on one server from another server, by choosing the ‘From device’ option, I am not able to see any mapped drives. So I always have to copy the backup file to my local drive before performing the restore. Is there any other way to do it?
For example, Server1 contains a database db1. A full backup, differential backup and log backups of db1 are stored in ,
D:mssql7ackupfulldb1_full.bak
D:mssql7ackupdiffdb1_diff.bak
D:mssql7ackuplogdb1_log.bak
The backup devices have been created using sp_addumpdevice.
Server2 contains a database db1.
If I need to restore a copy of db1 on server1 onto db1 of server2, I first copy
D:mssql7ackupfulldb1_full.bak
D:mssql7ackupdiffdb1_diff.bak
D:mssql7ackuplogdb1_log.bak
to a local drive on server2.
I then restore using the ‘from device’ option.
SQL Server uses NT Domain account with admin. Privileges, log on as a service rt. Etc.

Thankyou.
