Hello--I need to create a SQl statement (SQL SERVER 2000) which will do the following:
read table1 sequentially
select every "nth" record
write each selected record to and output table
Your help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,

I am checking some ratio numbers for our system engineers, those are
Read/write ratio?
Random/sequential ratio?
Read/write block size?
For Read/write ratio, I am using below query,
SELECT
m.type_desc
, CEILING(sum(num_of_bytes_read*1.0) / (sum(num_of_bytes_read*1.0) + sum(num_of_bytes_written*1.0)) * 100) AS 'Read %'
, CAST((sum(v.size_on_disk_bytes) / 1024.0 / 1024 / 1024) AS MONEY) AS 'FileSizeGB'
[Code] ....
Random/sequential ratio, I googled but cannot find a similar query to get the result?
I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help
I have a problem. In my database I have the following numbers available:
101
104
105
110
111
112
113
114
What I need is to get a select query with records and sequentials numbers after it like:
101 0
104 1 (the number 105)
105 0
110 4 (the numbers 111,112,113,114)
111 3 (the numbers 112,113,114)
112 2 (the numbers 113,114)
113 1 (the numbers 114)
114 0
How can I do It?
I have a table that holds notes for item's. I'm want to do a select statement where one of my columns assigns a sequential value to each row based on the item number. Would like data to look like this where doc_no would be my row_number function:
item_no seq_no note doc_no
ABC 1 blah 1
ABC 2 blahh 1
ABC 3 bla3 1
XYZ 1 more n 2
XYZ 2 another 2
EFG 1 blahhh 3

Hello all,I'm using SS 2000Based on the following table and data:CREATE TABLE T (F1 VARCHAR(1),F2 INT,F3 INT)/* T has no unique key *//* The data */INSERT INTO TSELECT 'A' AS F1, 1 AS F2, 10 AS F3UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 2, 12UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 3, 11UNION ALLSELECT 'A', 4, 10UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 3, 11UNION ALLSELECT 'A', 0, 0UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 2, 5UNION ALLSELECT 'D', 6, 7In the real situation, T is a subquery build from some tables and views. Icannot easily send the real problem.I want a query that will return:- One row for each different F1, no matter which it is.- Ideally, no temporary table should be created. Only subquery.- F2 and F3 must come from the same row. So the use of aggregate functionsto retreive each of them cannot be used.A possible result could be:F1 F2 F3---- --------- -----------A 1 10B 2 12D 6 7How could I do that?Thanks for your helpYannick

I need to select few items from sql database.I know for ORDER BY, but I need those items to be mixed in random order every time when they are returned from database. Those are the same items every time, just randomly mixed.
Can i do it with SQL, or I have to find another way (e.g. to mix them after sql returns them)?

View 17 Replies View RelatedConsider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

Hello,I am creating a new database and I was advised to use Sequential Guids.I was reading some information and, as far as I understood, I can use NEWSEQUENTIALID. This can be used when I have a uniqueidentifier column as the key of a clustered index to avoid fragmentation during insert. Ok, so I use NEWSEQUENTIALID instead of NEWID.But I will use LINQ most of the time instead of Stored Procedures.So can I specify in my tables scripts to use Sequential Guids when, for example, a record is created? And am I right when using Sequential Guids?Here is a part of my code:-- Blogs ...
create table dbo.Blogs
(
BlogID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Blog primary key clustered,
Title nvarchar(400) null,
Description nvarchar(2000) null,
CreatedDate datetime null
)
-- Posts ...
create table dbo.Posts
(
PostID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Post primary key clustered,
BlogID uniqueidentifier not null,
AuthorID uniqueidentifier not null,
Title nchar(1000) null,
Body nvarchar(max) null,
UpdatedDate datetime not null,
IsPublished bit not null,
constraint FK_Posts_Blogs
foreign key(BlogID)
references dbo.Blogs(BlogID)
on delete cascade,
constraint FK_Posts_Users
foreign key(AuthorID)
references dbo.Users(UserID)
on delete cascade Thanks,Miguel
In Foxpro I would often run sequential queries on data. Each query would store the results in a cursor, which would be the datasource for the next query. It was an easy way to write several simple queries to accomplish something complex.
Like this:
select <fields> from table1 where <condition> into cursor work1
select <fields> from work1 where <condition>
How do I accomplish this in TSQL?
Hi everyone I stumbled across this problem recently and have tried to figure out a good solution and have come up with nothing.
Environment: ADO.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, MS SQL 2000, C#
Problem: I have a set of data which I order according to two columns of data in the set. One column is a varchar or a date value (depending on what the user has chosen from GUI controls) and the other is an identity column. This dataset contains lots of data so its not feasible to pull the entire dataset to the client, also everything must be performed via ADO.net (no stored procedures). When the user selects one of the records I load another page and drill down into the record details (think of this as the record details page). This is fine and easy but on this record details page I would like to keep a Next and Previous button so users can move to the next record in the set (remember this set is sorted somehow on the previous page). My question is how can I know what next record should be? It would seem I need to attach a sequential number to the rows of data so I can easily grab the next one in the set. Solutions to this seem to make use of a temp table which I dont think is possible via ado.net.
Is there a decent performing way to do this through ado.net?
Thanks for all insight.
Hi all,I might be getting this all wrong but bear with me.
I need to create some kind of Unique field in my DB that is
nonsequential. This is because I need it to be difficult to guess
ids if you have an example in front of you.I have looked at
8digit EAN codes which include a check digit system.( I use a base digit of the row_id for these) Can anyone tell me
how many uniques I can get out of this system?For my ID: I have looked at something along the lines of:
Hex(row_id) + "T" + Hex( Trimmed(EAN)
)
The "T" serves to split the numbers for when I am converting back.
So for example:row_id EAN_code Hex(row_id) + "T" + Hex( Trimmed(EAN) )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3166 00031663 C5ET7BAF
3167 00031673 C5FT7BB9
3168 00031686 C60T7BC6
Is this too easy to guess (once you can tell there are two hex numbers there?)
What do people think?
Thanks,Pete
I am currently trying to get a dataset of sequential decreasing calculations, but they all end up on one row. I need each of the secondary selects statements to show up as separate rows, any idea?Select

,(select @premium - Rate * @Premium from ProfitLossTable where rateID =3)
I have a query which returns information about transactions similar to this:
Select account, trans_code, quantity
from ledger_table
This returns something like:
acct trans_code quantity
----- ---------- ------------
2 2 1000
2 3 500
2 3 300
3 2 100
3 2 500
etc.
What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:
acct trans_code quantity lot
----- ---------- ------------ ---
2 2 1000 1
2 3 500 1
2 3 300 2
3 2 100 1
3 2 500 2
3 3 1000 3
3 5 200 1
etc.
The lot number is reset for each grouping.
Does anyone have a way to do this outside of a cursor or temp table?
TIA, any help greatly appreciated.
I've created a sproc that will provide a recordset for an Access report via a pass-thru query. The report is a production schedule.
Some of the runs on the schedule have a note associated with them. I need
to be able to number these notes, so that they can be displayed in the report
bibliography style. When I populate the data in the sproc, if the "notes"
field in my table contains any data I display a 1, else it's a 0
Like:
SELECT NOTE_FLAG = CASE WHEN ISNULL(SCHED_NOTE,'')<>'',1,0
FROM MASTER_SCHEDULE
The problem is, I really need to display sequential numbers instead of 1's
If I create a base set with this:
CREATE TABLE #TMPRST (
RECID INTEGER,
PRODUCT VARCHAR(10),
QTY FLOAT,
NOTE_FLAG INTEGER)
INSERT INTO #TMPRST
SELECT 1, 'ABC123', 4, 0
UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'DEF123', 5, 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 'ABC456', 12, 0
UNION ALL
SELECT 13, 'PQR789', 10, 1
How do I go back and convert the note_flag column to read
... 0
... 1
... 0
... 2
We are integrating all our applications/databases into one application/database. During the transition phase, I need to create a number of views based on the new database that mimic the old tables of the old databases, so the old programs can continue to function until they are gradually replaced.
In one of the views, I need to generate a sequential number. The value is unimportant, as long as it is unique in the dataset; strictly spoken, it even doesn't need to be sequential:
eg:
SELECT * FROM myView
should give
Code:
col1col2...id
lalacar..1
bababike..2
....
zsrdpen..896
ghrtink..897
SELECT * FROM myView ORDER BY col2
should give
Code:
col1col2...id
bababike..1
lalacar..2
..
ghrtink..45
..
zsrdpen..396
....
The view is created based on a number of tables.
I am trying to automatically insert records into my existing customer table. Is there a way when I insert these new records and assign the customer number that it can sequentially pick the next available unique customer number for each record that is inserted? for example the first record would be customer number 100, the next 101, and so on? Please advise.

Is it possible to use SQL to replace all of these '1' values with a sequential list. Example 1,2,3,4,5,6,7....all the way to 13,000?
this is a slight change to a fequently asked question around here. Ihave a table which contains a "sortorder" column where a user canspecify some arbitrary order for records to be displayed in. Usershave sometimes ordered records the way we used to number lines in aBASIC program (10,20,30, etc.). I'd like to do an update query and fixthis so that every record is in sequential order. I found an examplein this newsgroup of how to do this.However, I have a slight problem! Sometimes, the users duplicated thesortorders. So for example, I might have two records were thesortorder is 20. The query I found in this newsgroup does not work inthat case. Here is some code so that you can see what I mean.create table sorttest (label char(5),sortorder int)goinsert sorttest values ('joe',20)insert sorttest values ('dan',10)insert sorttest values ('jim',44)insert sorttest values ('tom',20)insert sorttest values ('jan',50)-- data dumpselect label, sortorder from sorttest order by sortorder-- I'd like to fix all of the sortorder fields so that they aresequentialupdate sorttestset sortorder = (select count(*)from sorttest subquerywhere sorttest.sortorder <= subquery.sortorder)-- note that tom and joe BOTH HAVE SORTORDER = 4select label, sortorder from sorttest order by sortorderdrop table sorttestThanks in advance for any help.
