Plugging away at my little message board that I am working on, I have hit another SQL snag. I am trying to select a list of all posts in a thread. I have to get each post, the name of the poster (which comes from a different table - referenced by userid), as well as some profil information, from a 3rd table (also referenced by the userid).

ClientID PackageID Status

How would I create a select statement to select all rows from Package (PackageID, Destination, Source) where the CleintID=1 and the PackageID exists in pending packages with a status of 0?
Can this be done using a select statement or would I have to create a view? I'm not too sure!

Hi there,I'm new to sql and thus I'm having problems with a specific query which Ihope you guys can help me with.Basicly I have a few tables which I'm trying to do a query on:Table groups contains information about specific groups e.g. "Windows" or"Unix".Table users contains information about specific users e.g. "a", "b" or "c".Table users_groups contain information about group relationship (a user canbe in multiple groups) e.g. (a, Windows), (b, Unix), (a, Unix).In this case user c is ungrouped.Now I'd like to find the users which does belong to group Windows and thosewho do not:select distinct username from users_groups where groupname = "Windows" orderby username asc;This works pretty well for finding users in the specific group. In this casethe result is a.However I'd like to get the opposite result (b and c) but I'm stuck.The problem is that I'd like a list of all users excluding those which arein "Windows"Here is a partial query:select distinct users.username from users left join users_groups onusers.username = users_groups.username where users_groups.username is nullorder by users.username asc;This only gives me those users who are not grouped at all. This mean thatuser b is not in those results.Please advise.Thanks in advance.-- Henrik
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I have the following script that selects tables from my database with the same column name and then I delete data that falls within a specified condition. However what I need to be able to do is just select these tables that meet the condition and then just delete the data because at the moment it's also returning tables that I don't need.
So I just want to use a cursor on a table list that meet the criteria:
1) have qid column name
2) qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Example
declare @strqry varchar(1000)
declare dailyYear cursor
for SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE 'qid' = COLUMN_NAME order by table_name asc
open dailyYear
fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

Set @strqry = 'Delete from '+@DelTable+' where qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
exec(@strqry)
fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable

close dailyYear
deallocate dailyYear

Hello,
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info
and I want to get a list of Names
the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.
I was thinking something along the lines of SELECT Name FROM TABLE1,TABLE2, TABLE3
But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB
Hi
Is there a way to select out the contents of sys.comments for an object (in this case, a procedure) so that it is nicely formatted?
The reason being, is that I want to update source control with all objects from the live environment (as it has become out of date.... long story). Currently, we have a single script for each object, split in directories for each object type. Anyway, I also want to wrap the objects in our standards (check for object existence, print out success/fail statements, etc).
Any suggestions to make the process more automated and less painfull? I don't want to have to script each object out, manually wrap it in standards and save as that would be perhaps the most tedious task in the world!!!!
Thanks!

Hello Tsql experts,
Can you please explain to me what the differnce is between selecting into a table and creating a new tabel and inerting in to it like so:
First way:
select names
into #ancestors
from names
and
second way
create table #names(
name varchar(10)
)
insert into #names (name) values(name)
select names from names
is it just personal choice or performance in one method is better than the other.Can you please explain.
Thanks

I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!!
Thanks!
I moved this from another forum because it seems more related to replication the longer I look into it!
The following code often dies on a deadlock. I have also seen "Spid x blocked by Spid x", where x is the spid of this connection. The view selects from several tables and some other views as well, and many of the underlying tables are being updated by replication. I have seen cases where the replication Insert proc participated in the deadlock, and the table being inserted into is joined twice in the view, suggesting that somehow this
causes the deadlock or makes a deadlock more likely?
SELECT * INTO dbo.tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower
FROM view_loans_marketing_first_borrower OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
I do not understand how selecting from a view can cause a deadlock with a
proc which does not reference tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower. Any
suggestions on how to diagnose this? I used (1204) to identify the proc and underlying table.
Thanks a bunch.
hello guys,
I have 10 tables, table1, table2, table3, table4.......table10. all these tables have different structure.
From each of these tables I want extract data and dump into flat file csv.
So i have OLEDB source and FlatFile Destination.
If i write seperate data flow task for each of the tables, then there is no issue.
But i want to use a single data flow task for all these tables. So for this, i use a variable @SQLStr . And i dynamically set the value of this variable to select * from table1, select * from table2.........selct * from table10.
So in the OLEDB source I select Data Access Mode as : SQL Command from variable. And I use @SQLStr for this varible.
For Destination, i dynamically generate the flat file for each of the table.
But this doesnt work, i get validation errors.
So, first can i use a single data flow task to dynamically change the source(different source tables) and destination. If so, what i am missing in the above process?
any help appriciated.
Thanks
I am pulling info out of MSDB to report on job schedules. As we have a mixture of 2005 and 2000 servers, I am varying my select statement according to the result of
[Code]
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
[/Code]
I have to vary the tables for each condition. Not a problem,
[Code]
if @Version = 9
begin
Select whatever from table1 join table2
end
Else
begin
Select whatever from table1 join table3
end
Problem is that SQL 2005 is trying to verify the existence of the fields in the tables on compile (it knows that the table, for example, sysjobschedules exists in 2005, but the field "Name" doesn't - although it does in 2000) , even after the if statement checking if the version is 8, and SQL 2000 uses 2 tables whilst 2005 needs 3, and the fields I need are on one table in 2000, but in a different table in 2005.
SQL 2000 is fine with it - it just does it.
Syntax checking is fine.
Just to clarify, here is my code:
[Code]
Declare @Version Char(1), @CurrentDate datetime
Set @CurrentDate = GetDate()
Create Table #TempSchedDetails
( Server VarChar(30)
,CurrentDate VarChar(19)
,JobName VarChar(80)

,Freq_Interval VarChar(2)
,JobEnabled Bit
,Freq_Subday_Type VarChar(25)
,ScheduleEnabled Bit
,StartTime VarChar(25)
,EndTime VarChar(25)
)
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
If @Version = '9'
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,GetDate()--@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,SS.Name
,SS.Freq_Type
,SS.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,SS.Freq_SubDay_Type
,SS.Enabled
,SS.Active_Start_Time
,SS.Active_End_Time

Left Outer Join msdb..SysJobSchedules JS on J.Job_Id = JS.Job_Id
Join msdb.dbo.SysSchedules SS ON JS.schedule_id = SS.Schedule_Id
Order By J.Name, Active_Start_Time
End
Else
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,S.Name
,S.Freq_Type
,S.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,S.Freq_SubDay_Type

Hi,
I was wanting to know if it is possible to create a left join when selecting from 3 seperate tables.
Select p.Project_name, p.project_id, cp.email_display_name, te.Mon

WHERE p.Project_ID = te.Project_ID

Any ideas or suggestions?

I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim
Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID
Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID
Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID
Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID
Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID
Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
First the environment: two tables A and B.
Table A: ID (unique-identifier)
Table B: ID_A (unique-identifier to A.ID, relation)
DTime (datetime)
Rows (id1 and id2 are Id examples):
A: id1
id2
B: id1 and 12:00:00 (date not important)
id1 and 13:00:00
id2 and 12:00:00
Example:
SELECT A.ID, B.DTIME
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B ON B.ID_A = A.ID
WHERE B.DTime < '14:00:00'
ORDER BY NEWID()
When I run this, I get the three rows of table B. But what I want is to get each table A row once, and get the nearest datetime of WHERE expression from the relation of table B.
So, the result must been two rows, id1 and id2, and id1 with '13:00:00' row because this is the nearest value of '14:00:00'.
How can I do this? DISTINCT trying by A.ID of SELECT, but doesn't work. Also ORDER BY B.DTime will work, but not random by NEWID() anymore.
Thank you.

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
Any help will be appreciated.
Transfer transfer = new Transfer();
transfer.Database = sourceDB;
transfer.DestinationDatabase = DestinationDatabase;
transfer.DestinationServer = DestinationServer;
transfer.DropDestinationObjectsFirst = false;

Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

I have a scenarios where if I execute select * from tbl it should display the all the records without waiting to release any lock. For example suppose I have one table called tbl and one session is updating one records and not committed yet and in other session if i execute select * from table I can see all the records, for that records it can show me older version. but my select statement should not wait to commit another session and also it should not show the modified data.

Sometimes when i try to select data from a table (from a selected database)
using SQL Query Analyzer (for exemple) i receive an error message : "The Object XX does not exist" . But when i prefix it by the Owner it work .
What is the problem then ?
I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]
[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
