Though this is not directly a SQL related question but I could not think of some other forum to post this request. <y apologies if I should have posted elsewhere...
I need some sample data for a departmental store (like WalMart of KMart) which sell a wide variety of things and probably everything under the sun :)
I need data in such a manner that we have 4-5 levels of data hierarchy. For example we can have a data hierarchy like follows:
Classification
Category
Sub Category
Product Group
Item
The above is just an example but I hope that most of you already know what I neeed. An example of data based on the following hierarchy can be as follows (shown in a tabular manner)
Classification | Category | Sub Category | Product Group | Item
---------------------------------------------------------------
Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| SONY Room entertainment box, 2 speakers 300 W each, ....
Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Audio| Phillips Boom Box, ...specifications....
Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| Video| SAMSUNG DVD Player model SG-17X5 ...
Household Items| Electronics| Entertainment| T.V | SONG TRINTORN 51" .....
...
...
Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
Im trying to use VB.net 2005 to write a sample app to access a DB. Are there any samples for this and any samples of how I go about making the DB in the first place?
I am needing to o exactly what Zippygoose says (with ordered ID numbers). How do yo make an insert statement that will make a loop until let's say the ID reaches 8000??
Thanks in advanced,
Edit: User needs to fill his tables with sample data. (Sorry for the edit, but I prefer to split this thread instead of continuing an old one (2003!!)).
We have 4 regions, currently we only have 3 servers in the field, and therefore only 3 regional id’s are being used to store the actual data of the pbx. The central server (RegionalID = 0) is holding the data for itself and the 4th region until the new server is deployed. It now has to be deployed and therefore the data migration for this region has to take place. I am trying to extract all the data for this 4th region (RegionalID= 1) from the central server database from all the relevant tables. When doing this I will firstly, have to check that the CallerID is valid, if it is, send that entry along with the result set, if it is not valid, Check that the dongle area code is valid, if dongle area is valid select with the result set, and if it is not valid, then check that RegionalDialup = ‘0800003554’ which is the dialup number for this 4th region (RegionalID = 1).
I have a table named lnkPBXUser which contains the following:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[lnkPBXUser]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[lnkPBXUser] GO
DDL: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[lnkPBXUser] ( [RegionalID] [int] NOT NULL , [pbxID] [decimal](18, 0) NOT NULL , [userID] [decimal](18, 0) NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO

I have a table named tblDialupLog which has 20 columns, I have selected only the columns I am interested in (below):
PBXID DailupDT DongleAccessNum CLI RegionalID RegionalDialup 83 8/8/2006 8:58:11 AM T2 UQ 28924 0132493700 0 0800003554 543 8/8/2006 8:55:44 AM T0 UA 33902 0123623500 0 0800003554 1219 8/8/2006 8:59:03 AM T3 ZD 02031 0152958095 0 0800003554 1012 8/8/2006 9:02:54 AM T0 UA 41261 0173011050 0 0800003554 1331 8/8/2006 8:59:57 AM T0 UA 01938 0124604627 0 0800003554 1979 8/8/2006 9:02:52 AM T0 UA 09836 0163751210 0 0800003554 1903 8/8/2006 8:58:41 AM T0 UA 26009 0147175356 0 0800003554 1522 8/8/2006 8:58:54 AM T3 MB 94595 0573912871 0 0800004249 319 8/8/2006 8:51:28 AM T2 ZD 32892 0543375100 0 0800004249 3270 8/8/2006 9:04:26 AM T2 MB 87331 0 0800004249

You see that the DongleAccessNumber is actually made up of three parts, and it is the middle part (ie.UQ) which i will use to check that the tbldongleArea.DongleAreaCode is valid for that region
I have a table named tblCodes, it contains all regions but I only need to select the codes for RegionalID 1 :

I have a table named tblRegionalNumbers which contains the following, as you can see the RegionalDialup for the fourth region = 0800003554:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tblRegionNumbers]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[tblRegionNumbers] GO
INSERT INTO tblRegionNumbers(RegionalID ,RegionalDialup,Region,UpdateStatus,RegionCode,LocalRegion) SELECT 1,'0800003554', 'North Eastern', 0, 1, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 2, '0800005027' ,'Gauteng', 0 ,2, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 3, '0800006194','Eastern', 0, 3, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 4, '0800004249' ,'Central', 0, 4, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 5, '0800201859','Southern', 0 ,5, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 6, '0800201989' ,'Western' 0, 6, 0 UNION ALL SELECT 0, '0800113515', 'HO', 1, 0, 1 UNION ALL SELECT 8, '0800222204', 'Tellumat', 0, 7, 0
Ok, I am dealing with the lnkPBXUser table at the moment,
I need to be able to join lnkPBXUser and tblDialupLog, then compare tblDialupLog.CLI to tblCodes.SubsNDCD + tblCodes.LocCD (when these two columns are concatenated the result will only be a substring of tblDialupLog.CLI. (this is to make sure that the CLI exists in tblCodes.)
If it does exist, then it is part of the fourth region and should be returned in the result set.
If it does not exist, I then need to check that tblDongle.DongleAreaCode is a substring of tblDialupLog.DongleAccessNumber.
If it is a valid DongleAreaCode for that region, then it is part of the fourth region and should be returned in the result set.
If it does not exist, I then need to check that tblDialupLog.RegionalNumber = ‘080003554’.
So from the above tables an expected result would be:
RegionalID pbxID userID 0 1012 17 0 543 2
Please assist, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards SQLJunior
I want the sum of the last payments (amount) for all customers. The lastpayment is with one with most recent date. And if there are more than onepayment on the most recent date then the one with the higher paymentid isthe last payment. for example in the given data the insert statement thatstarts with capital I is the last payment of that customer. The correctanswer should be 2100 as given below. both queries by Erland and Anith givethe result 100 ( I removed the "WHERE p1.date <= '20030301' " Clause fromboth queries since right now I want current sum (not till some date).

hi, i am bit new in the field of data warehousing and data mining but catching up fast. I am in the last year of BS(Computer Science) and intend to do a project on a Business Intelligence but i was wondering can i get a sample dummy data for my work is that any way possible??
SQL Server 2000Is there any way to take sample data in my database and create an INSERT INTO script?I have a commercial application that I would like to include sample data, and instead of restoring a backup like I am doing now, I would like to first run a script that creates the database, stored procedures, etc, then run a script that inserts sample data if the customer so chooses.I know I can do this manually, but is there any way to create the script based on exisiting data?TIA-- Tim Morrison--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vehicle Web Studio - The easiest way to create and maintain your vehicle related website.http://www.vehiclewebstudio.com
I'm looking for sample database for data mining in SQL Server 2005. In my project I need to use all algorithms provided by SQL Server 2005. I know that we have "SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases" on microsoft.com site, but there are only AdventureWorks data sets. I need sth less popular, but similar.
I have found http://www.kdnuggets.com/datasets/index.html and others, but I don't see data sets good for multidimensional analysis.
The origin of data may be natural or artificial, it doesn't matter. I don't have to generate my own data, because I had to discover new knowledge, that will be surprising to me.
Hi, there; I try to import data from ODBC using C# programmatically. Is there any sample code we can have a look. Like how to read schema from ODBC source table and then create source column...
I'm working with the sample database called Adventure Works and I'm encountering data consistency issues : If I sum the TotalDue for one particular territory, for one particular time window from the Sales. SalesOrderHeader table and if I try to compare the result to the LastYearSales and YTDSales from the Sales.SalesTerritory table, I don't get the same number, whatever I try. So did I miss something ? How are the LastYearSales and YTDSales fields from Sales.SalesTerritory calculated ?

Hi! I am new to SQL Server... looking for some veteran assistance.
"Data Integrity Report"
I need a Stored Procedure that takes a table name as a parameter and returns a cursor suitable as a data source for a pre-built Report Services report (I guess Report Services would call the SP?).
The cursor/report needs to have the following columns:
Ordinal_Position (I.E. Column number) Column_Name Number Of Blank Rows (how many missing values for this column in this table) Difference (Between total rowcount and population of this column)
Data_Type
Column_Length (either Character_Maximum_Length or the numeric widths rolled up with COALESCE?) Sample Data (The contents of the "first" row in the table, based on a TOP(1) and ORDER BY xxx) The report should look like this (for a table with 100 rows):
Col Num Col Name # Blanks Difference Data Type Col Length Sample Data 1 Name 12 88 varchar 30 Sally Smith 2 Address 34 66 varchar 45 123 Main St Apt 45 3 Acct_ID 0 100 varchar 4 AB12345
Using the "Information_Schema.Columns" I can get everything I need except for #3 (blanks count) and #7 (Sample data).
Is it possible to do this as 1 query, with a CTE or APPLY or something, or do I need to do a table variable based on the Information_Schema and then use dynamic SQL and row-by-row COUNT(*) for each column? And the same for the Sample Data.
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance! John
Hello, can anyone tell me if it is possible to conditionally join tables? If so, how could it be done?
What I would like to do is create a query similar to the one below but include the rows in the Asset table where the corresponding Alert field is NULL.
Assets AS A ON AL.IndustryId = A.IndustryId AND AL.RegionId = A.RegionId AND AL.RevenueId = A.RevenueId WHERE AlertId = 1
The output I am after would be the first row in the Assets table. But since the RevenueId column is NULL, I get nothing. The only time the above query will work is if all three Id columns are populated. That is not always going to be the case. Please don't suggest changing table structures or adding data. That is not an option.
I dont think we should sample any nested tables for data mining model training? Since I think any nested tables are bound to the case table. Therefore whenever we sample the case table, the nested tables are like any other input attributes within the case table to be rectrieved as inputs accordingly?
Thank you very much for any guidance to clear my confusion.
Dear all i am newbie to this forum as well as learning SQL so don't have much knowledge. i want one query which will transpose data in column i have 3 fileds Scrip--COC--DAte A--25--01/06/07 B--34--01/06/07 C--65--01/06/07 A--65--02/06/07 B--98--02/06/07 C--37--02/06/07
now this date column will be only 5 i.e. 1 which user puts + 4 preceding dates from user date (ignoring sequence means if user put 10/06/07 then next will be 09/06/07 but if this wont exists then take 08/06/07 & so on till 4 dates) the data will be unique means no scrip repeats more than once in a day

Hi Experts ! I want to use maximum feature of SQL Server 2005 and ASP.Net 2.0 in making Data Access LayerSuggestions will be welcomed .Thank you RegardsKAMRAN
When i try to copy one table , say for e.g table x from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 it gives me an error that -
'Insert Error , column 46 ( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 : Data overflow . Invalid character value for cast specification .'
This column on the source server ( SQL 6.5 ) has datatype 'datetime ' with value 8 and is NULL .
Although there are other columns in this table with datatype as 'datetime' as 8 and NULL , they have been copied successfully to the destination table .Only this specific column is giving an error while copying data .
I am using import export wizard to copy data between servers . Since i have no experience with this , would like to have a solution from you to this problem. It will be great help for me .
Hi,If I have a database with collation Sequence X and I change thecollation sequence of database to Collation Sequence Y , do I have tomigrate the data of tables with collation Sequence X to collationSequence Y or SQl server takes care of migrating the data internally.Thanks in advance.-Kalyan
Hi , I am loading the Data into the Tables with the constraints on and redirecting the error rows into a seperate table is there a way to capture the error rows from a execute sql task by directly loading data without constraints and later adding them with the execute sql task and redirecting them to error table as this approach would make the loads quicker. the approach now that i am using is on a row by row basis ..... and if i drop constraints and load data and then add constraints will this deposit the same error rows as in case of the current approach please send me ur suggestions
I have two data sources - an excel spreadsheet and one access database of Customer details, (quite small in size) and I have to use SQL Server 2005 to Integrate the data and cleanse the data so that I could (in theory) import it into a CRM system (though I won't actually be importing it) as this is for coursework only.
Is there a simple steps to do this is SQL server and guides that I can follow that are relevent? As there are lots of tutorials and I haven't a clue where to start.
Hi I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred.

I have three tables EmpIDs,EmpRoles and LatestRoles. I need to write a select Query to get roles of all employees present in EmpIDs table by referring EmpRoles and LatestRoles.
Where I stuck : The condition is first look into table EmpRoles and if it has more than one entry for a particular Employee ID than only need to get the Role from LatestRoles other wise consider the role from EmpRoles .
Employee ID 2 is having two roles defined in EmpRoles so for EmpID 2 need to fetch Role from LatestRoles table and for remaining ID's need to fetch from EmpRoles .
My Final Output of select query should be like below.
