I'm trying to do some basic stuff in SQL Server 2005 that I could do in Oracle. I'm sure there's a way to do these things, I just don't know how. My most immediate question is this:
Is there any easy way to run a SQL script and have it spool to HTML tables to a file? The 'results to text' from SSMS is not adequate for display purposes. I'm trying to display table/column descriptions.
Beyond that, does anyone know of any good resources that provide an 'Oracle to SQL Server' matrix so I can help figure out how to do some of these things in SQL Server?
BACKGROUND: I just set up a network with 2 computers (direct cable network, no routers/hubs), one computer is running Windows 2000 Server and the other is running Windows XP Professional. They both recognize each other and I can access each computer on either computer. The WinXP computer has SQL Server 2005 express edition installed on it.
BASIC PROBLEM: I am trying to install a database server on my Windows 2000 Server OS computer. This computer is a 350MHz, 256mb RAM computer. How would I go about doing this?
Can someone help me rewrite this query? Basically I need to check if the name stored in "CustomerName" already exist in the table "Renter". If it does not then I ncan insert the new customer name into the data table "Renter". If the value in "CustomerName" already exists in the database, then I need to bypass the "INSERT" and somehow return a value indicating that the insert was not performed. How can I do this. Here is the query I currently have for performing the insert. CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[VacancyGet] ( @CustomerName nvarchar(100), @ClientCode nvarchar(10) ) AS INSERT INTO Renter ( CustomerName, ClientCode, ) VALUES ( @CustomerName, @ClientCode, )
Please help me in sorting out my Problem Providing me the solution . My Problem is I have a master table with Primary key on ID field (PatientID-(Patient-Table)) and it is an Identity field And My child table has the same ID field(PatientID-(PatientDetails-Table)) and it has the relationship set And the child table has its own Primary key of its own ID field(PatientdetailsID). What I want is as soon as enter row of data into the master table (Patient-Table)and click save on my front end application(Which is ASP.Net web application) I want to update Child Table’S (PatientDetails)ID field ( ie.,PaientID in the PatientDetailsTable) in the Child Table which relates the parent table ,by doing so I want to update the Primary key field (ie.,PatientDetailsID) & ForeignKey Field (PatientID)of the child table and to create row in the child table with two columns .(PatientID,&PatientDetailsID) What I want to achieve is in my ASP.net Application as soon as I enter Master table I want to Edit Child tables (about 15) one by one like a Wizard pages which will have The ID Field(PatientID) same in all my wizard pages . I want to know whether I can incorporate triggers if so in which table (is it in Patient or PatientDetails) and I will be grateful If anyone gives the Script to-do so.I am also providing my two table sripts. Sripts:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Patient]( [PatientID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Date] [smalldatetime] NULL, [UserID] [int] NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](40) NOT NULL, [Surname] [varchar](30) NOT NULL, [DOB] [datetime] NULL, [Age] AS (floor(datediff(day,[DOB],getdate())/(365.25))), [Sex] [varchar](10) NULL, [Occupation] [varchar](30) NULL, [Ethinicity] [varchar](60) NULL, [HomeTel] [varchar](15) NULL, [Mobile] [varchar](15) NULL, [varchar](40) NULL, [AddressLine1] [varchar](30) NULL, [Line2] [varchar](30) NULL, [Line3] [varchar](30) NULL, [City] [varchar](20) NULL, [PostCode] [varchar](15) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Patient] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PatientID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY] GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOALTER TABLE [dbo].[Patient] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Patient_User] FOREIGN KEY([UserID])REFERENCES [dbo].[User] ([UserID])GOALTER TABLE [dbo].[Patient] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Patient_User] CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails]( [PatientID] [int] NOT NULL, [PatientDetID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Date] [smalldatetime] NULL, [NHSNumber] [varchar](12) NULL, [HospitalRefID] [varchar](10) NULL, [Ovaries] [varchar](15) NULL, [ReportFromGP] [image] NULL, [LMP] [datetime] NULL, [DateStopped] [datetime] NULL, [Comment] [varchar](150) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_PatientDetails_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PatientDetID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY] GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOALTER TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_PatientDetails_Patient] FOREIGN KEY([PatientID])REFERENCES [dbo].[Patient] ([PatientID])GOALTER TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_PatientDetails_Patient] I want to incorporate this through database level . I am using SQL Server2005-Express Although Iam using ASP.net C# I am new and I will not be able to do this in my front end. Please help me wth the solution. thanks rameshs_2000
I am about at the end of my rope. My ISP (MaximumASP) has recently upgraded to Windows 2003. I have an application written in .Net / C# that has been working for almost a year now with no problems. The day they upgraded to Windows 2003, that all changed. Upon accessing a page (ANY page) that opens the database (SQL Server) an error occurs INTERMITTENTLY. The error is:
Specified SQL Server not Found
Go to this link for the full error and Stack Trace: http://www.acob.com/SQLError2.gif
Keep in mind this NEVER happened before 2003 (same exact code, no changes) AND it will NOT happen for hours at a time (same page, same code), then BOOM! If we wait about 10-15 minutes or so, the page (EVERY page that accesses the database) works again and no error. This happens about 2-3 times within a 24 hour period. I can also RESET the web application (server) and the error disappears immediately.
I have gone through ALL of my code to make sure I am EXPLICITLY closing my data connections. This problem was MUCH worse when we were using the .Net 1.1 Framework AND Windows 2003. Reverting BACK to .Net 1.0 has alleviated the problem somewhat - but not entirely.
Does ANYONE know of any bugs, problems, whatever in Windows 2003 that may cause this. It seems as though there is a Connection Pooling leak of some sort. But I cannot fix, what I cannot find. My ISP simply keeps saying - it's a coding problem. If I have code that works for over a year and then suddenly it doesn't - is it a coding problem??
I DISPOSE of the DataSet. I DISPOSE of my Connection. I CLOSE my Connection. I DISPOSE of my SQLAdapter.
I do this cleanup everywhere I initiate a connection (all in one codebehind). Additionally, the code is very simplistic: Connect, Open, Select, Bind, Dispose, Close.
Does ANYONE know what this can be??
$100 to the person who solves this problem! (Server must run for one week after solution is implemented to collect reward).
I have a table of People and their ID, the starting month (a fixed number of months, say 10 for this), the ending month, and the percent of work time (0-1 being 0-100%). If they have a % work of 0, I do not want to see anything. But if the % changes, from say .5 to .75, I would need the first and last month they were at .5, and the first and last month they were at .75
The Table:
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[TestProject] Script Date: 02.07.2014 10:15:08 ******/ IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#TestProject2','U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE [dbo].[#TestProject2] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[#TestProject2]( ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
[Code] ....
The data:
--===== All Inserts into the IDENTITY column SET IDENTITY_INSERT #TestProject2 ON INSERT INTO #TestProject2 ("ID","PersonID", "PercentLoad","MonthID") SELECT 1,123456,0,1 UNION ALL
I have the following query that supposes to merge multiple result in a single one and put it into a temporary table:
SELECT DISTINCT [AlphaExtension], STUFF((SELECT A.[NoteText] + '< BR />' FROM #temp A WHERE A.[AlphaExtension]=B.[AlphaExtension] FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') As [NoteText] FROM #temp B GROUP BY [AlphaExtension], [NoteText]
It is working fine unless by a simple detail. If you look at the second line of the query you will see that I am stuffing together a < BR /> tag (break line) because the contents of the field is going to be spitted directly to the screen and I want that the multiple results be displayed in different lines.
OK, the issue is that it is stuffing & lt ; BR / & gt ; instead < BR /> and therefore the browser is displaying the tag instead to break a line.
I'd like to transfer some records between the following 2 tables. Surely this should be a no-brainer - what am i missing that is making this so impenetrable?
I am currently: Hoping someone can help me get here: (this is my first time of using SSIS btw).
here is the source table (MS Sql Server 2005, SP 2)
I used the SSIS Import and Export wizard to copy data between the two tables, and attempted to execute it. I use Sql Native Provider on source, and Native Ole DBOracle Provider for OLEDB. however, I get an error:
[Destination - IMAGINE_DIVS [37]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-12571: TNSacket writer failure".
I notice that the wizard has created a data flow task with 3 steps: source - imagine_divs, Destination - IMAGINE_DIVS and "data conversion 1".
Data Conversion 1 seems to be taking my source nvarchar columns and converting them to DT_STR with twice the size (for example div_mnemonic become DT_STR, size: 22).
If I change the mappings in the OLE DB Destination Editor, such that only the numeric and date-typed columns are included in the transfer, it works fine.
If I include any string-typed column in the destination editor mappings, I get the TNS Packet Writer error. If I remove the Data Conversion step and connection teh source and destination tasks directly, i get validation errors saying that:
Error 2 Validation error. Data Flow Task: OLE DB Destination [294]: Columns "div_mnemonic" and "DIV_MNEMONIC" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types. Package4.dtsx 0 0
this is despite the fact that everything is unicode here (right?)
we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?

I am having problems querying from linked oracle server. When i setup oracle as a linked server and purposely enter an incorrect password the query i run tells me i have an incorrect password. So it at least knows that. when i set the correct password and run a query I get this error:

I am quite newbie, really grateful for some help how to create a sql sentence in Reporting Services that would return the best sales person from each shop.. The following returns all the sales persons from each shop
So how to select the top sales person from each shop? SELECT TOP (10) shop.name, SUM(Cd.Price) AS Sales, Personal.Name AS Salesperson FROM Purchase INNER JOIN Personal ON Purchase.Salesperson_id = Personal.Personal_id RIGHT OUTER JOIN shop ON Personal.work_id = shop.shop_id FULL OUTER JOIN Cd ON Purchase.Cd_id = Cd.Cd_id GROUP BY Shop.Name, Personal.Name ORDER BY Sales DESC
Or something like this? But how in Rep.Services???
...LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT P.work_id, P.Name, SUM(C.Price) AS TotalSale FROM @Personal P INNER JOIN @Purchase B ON B.Salesperson_id = P.Personal_id INNER JOIN @Cd C ON C.Cd_id = B.Cd_id GROUP BY P.Work_id, P.Name ) D ON D.Work_id = S.Shop_id
We're developing an application request/packaging/rollout worflowapplication for our 50 site, 40,000 user company. There is a requesttable, an engineering table, a distribution table, etc. etc. But, thecompany has a designated "Application Owner" at each site, and eachperson who will use the application must also be listed in the workflowapplication. So, we need a lookup table for the owners and users:CREATE TABLE REQUEST (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,RQ_BY_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,RQ_FOR_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,ASSIGNED_ENGINEER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,OTHER INFO...);CREATE TABLE APP_OWNERS (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,OWNER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE APP_USERS (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,USER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);There are many other tables, of course, some with single person IDfields and addititional lookup tables where there are multiple peopleinvolved like testers, package distributors, etc. I began to wonder,why not just a single table to cover ALL the people involved:CREATE TABLE RQ_WORKFLOW_PEOPLE (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,PERSON_ROLE VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PERSON_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);INSERT INTO RQ_WORKFLOW_PEOPLE (rq_id,person_role,person_id) values(123456,'RQ BY',314159),(123456,'RQ FOR',951413),(123456,'APP OWNER',159413),(123456,'APP OWNER',413159),(123456,'USER',594131),(123456,'USER',313459),.....The real question I have is how does one evaluate options like this?The good news, I think, is that where I simply must have crossreference tables because of multiple values (application owners, users,testers, etc.) I've reduced the number of those tables to one byspecifying a single table by role. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?I've also removed similar data from several other tables where only asingle column was needed in those tables, i.e. the requested by andrequested for fields, the assigned engineer, and several others. Thereis one and only one of each for each request but the type of data, thatis an employee ID is exactly the same, so does it make more "sense" tokeep the data with the request table or the engineering table orconsolidate all ID data in an ID table?Any thoughts on this woudl be appreciated.Randy
I am gonig into interview for a junior developer position. The role involves a lot of SQL based work. Training is on the job, and they know I am new to this, but they want to know what I can do with SQL server by wednesday, and obviosuly I stand a better chance if I can do a reasonable amount by then.I am assuming I can practise with offline databases, so I would like to do that. Also I was wondering if there were any simple example databases I can load up.
I have downloaded and installed the software, and would like to know how to connect and create a test database. There will be a small test in the interview and the questions are: 1. SQL Management and Data Extraction For this task you will need to be familiar with database tables, data types and constraints. There will be some administration work using SQL Management Studio along with some T-SQL queries. You will need to show use of the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements. If you do not have SQL Server, you can download the express edition for free at the following URL. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/bb410791.aspx
2. XSLT For this task I will be asking you to produce some HTML output displaying the data from an XML file. The concept is similar to ASP.
3. Database Design You will be given a scenario for a company that requires some database software for the smooth running of their organisation. You will need to plan and design a data structure to accommodate these requirements. You will be allowed to spend as much time on this part of the test as you wish. Key information here is going to be database normalization.
These questions dont make a whole lot of sense to be at the moment, so would appreciate a breakdown in simpler terms.
This job will be a fantastic opportunity for me to get into development, and would appreaciate any help that you guys have to offer, thanks in advance.
In a transactions table, I need to get the record for the earliest transaction date for each person or account. So far I've been doing it in 2 steps (below). Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks
Dannie
--------------------------
SELECT
Person_ID Earliest_Transaction_Date = MIN( Transaction_Date ) INTO
Earliest_Transaction_Dates FROM
All_Transactions GROUP BY
Person_ID
SELECT
b.* FROM
Earliest_Transaction_Dates a LEFT OUTER JOIN All_Transactions b WHERE
a.Person_ID = b.Person_ID and b.Transaction_Date = a.Earliest_Transaction_Date
I have a query that pulls information on people, courses they have taken, their score and so on. I have a date parameter setup so I can run it by year. Everything works ok on the query side, I get all the information I need on all the people and the courses they have taken. However, when I run the report, I do not get a separate page for each person and their relative information. The first page shows the first name and the rest of the 700 pages list all the courses and other information, with no break. How do I render the report so that I can get a separate page(s) for each person and their specific info? I can glady provide more info/code if need be.
I have about 8 databases to integrate. All of the databases have ssno, address city...ect. I need to create a DW table with one unique record for each actual person. In other words,
Joe Smith,123 Main St, Anytown, State,....+ssno
goes into the DW table and is the same person as Joseph S. Smith,123 Main Street... and any other versions.
Could someone point me to a reference or give me an outline of how to do this in and SSIS package?
Is fuzzy logic used here?
Do I need to deduplicate the feeder systems first??
It needs to handle a situation in, for example, the Bronx New York where there could be an apartment buiding with 7 people named Jose Sanchez .
I hope I've been clear, I'm a newbie at this DW stuff, but it's fascinating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have written a trigger for audit trail of one table in SQL and it has to get the user name who is doing the changes from the application(.net) I have used the SQL user name and password while connecting the .net application to the database, and because of this whoever log in to the application and make changes on that table data, in the audit trail it still shows as the database user name.
I want to display the user name of the person logged in to the application
In the query i am using "System_user" for getting the user name. And the connection string in my application has a default uid and pswd.
I want to retain uid and pswd in the connection string but still want the query to get the name of the correct logged in user to the application.
I'm running under Windows Server 2000 datacenter sp4 with sql server 2000 Sp4
on 16GB Ram.
I enabled the /PAE in the boot.ini file and also enabled the AWE and set the SLQ Server maximum memory to 6144.
Do I need to include the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file?
I'm a little bit confused with the article found on the site. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/274750
Here are the lines.
Use of the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini and the AWE enable option in SQL Server allows SQL Server 2000 to utilize more than 4 GB memory. Without the /PAE switch SQL Server can only utilize up to 3 GB of memory. or-Use of the /3GB switch in the Boot.ini file allows SQL Server 2000 to use up to 3 GB of available memory.
I am trying to grant solely the SELECT privilige to a particular user and to a particular database.I am using Sql server management studio express to do this and SQL Server 2005.
I have created a new login and set the server roles to public, then on the user mapping page, I have checked the box next to the table I wish the user to access and have selected the database membership role - public. Next, On the Table Properties, I have added the user on the Permissions Page and Selected "Select" under the grant column
When I click on effective permissions, the select command does not show and when I try to login with that user, the table does not display.

You might just be able to save me downloading and installing SQL Server French...
I'm having localization problems with some .NET code - and I might be able to solve the problem if I know how SQL is parsed in different locales. Say my table MyTable contains a float column FloatColumn. In English, I would say SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE FloatColumn = 2.3
If my locale was, say for argument's sake, French, would I have to write SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE FloatColumn = 2,3 ???
Overview. Machine data is fed into DOWNTIMELOG via a Cimplicity. I do not have the ability to change the way that it goes in. It contains the time that a machine has stopped and where the stoppage has occurred. Via a web page I want to give the operator the amount of time the machine stopped. From that they will provide some more detail. As they enter time, I need to subtract what they entered from the total (DOWNTIMELOG). That is the reason I created ENTERED_TIME. [PDNTOTAL_TEMP_VAL0] hold the total time for each stoppage, [TOTTIME] is intended to hold the value that has been accounted for. [DWNCATEGORY_TEMP_VAL0] holds the category and matches up with [DWNCATEGORY]. Also, I need to match Date and Shift. The problem is that DOWNTIMELOG does not capture shift. However, 1st shift occurs between 700 and 1500, 2nd shift occurs between 1500 and 2300, 3rd shift occurs between 2300 and 700. 3rd shift presents a problem as it occurs across 2 dates. Could someone please help me with a query that provides the net between the two tables that is matched by date, shift and category? CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DOWNTIMELOG] ( [timestamp] [datetime] NOT NULL , [DWNTIMESTAMP_VAL0] [varchar] (25) NULL , [UPTIMESTAMP_VAL0] [varchar] (25) NULL , [PDNHOUR_VAL0] [int] NULL , [PDNMIN_VAL0] [int] NULL , [PDNSEC_VAL0] [int] NULL , [PDNTOTAL_TEMP_VAL0] [int] NULL , [DWNMSG_TEMP_VAL0] [int] NULL , [DWNCATEGORY_TEMP_VAL0] [varchar] (50) NULL
Where can i learn about making the sql server execute task when a certain situation happens. Like lets say make the server delete all entrys older than 40 days? Or have a entry deleted automatically when a certain situation happens like lets say it take 4 votes and a entry get deleted how do i make it do that automatically
Hello,I need to be able to replace only the first occurance of a space characterin a column.Reason being is the data in the column I am trying to replace seems to haveumpteen space characters after each entry, so a simple replace functionwill replace all the spaces after it with what I want!I have thought of RTRIM to get rid of the spaces after and then replace, Ihave also thought of CHARINDEX to find the first occurance of a space andSTUFF to replace it.I have done my homework on these functions!But I am having trouble writing such a statement,I've never written a query which would use more then one function on onecolumn you see and I am getting confused!I'll tell you what I want to do in simple stepsReplace only the first found space in a name column, but then if a name hasa middle initial that will be a problem,Replace that with a dot.then concatanate '@emailaddress;@emailaddress2' after itso when SQLServer does the select it will bring back something likejoe.bloggs@emailaddress;emailaddressBut I guess I'd also need joe.n.bloggs@emailaddress;emailaddressThe data in the column looks like this at the momentjoe bloggsBut I guess there may come a time when we havejoe n bloggs, just to complicate things!What is your advice, and how do I write a query like thisI have been playing around with it in Query Analyser but as I said I amgetting confused and need some help if you don't mindThanks a lot to all who reply :-)RegardsJayne
One employee has two pay rates for two different jobs:
Job A: Rate $10.00 Job B: Rate $15.00
I will be updating their record so that they only have one job going forward, Job C. I need Job C to equal their HIGHER of the two existing jobs.
I have a select statement to find what the higher rate is. However, I am not sure how I can apply the rate to be the new job's rate. Here's what I used to find the highest rate for one single person:
SELECT max(rate), employeeID FROM JobsTable inner join IDTable on JobsID2 = IDID2
WHERE JobCode in ('JOBA','JOBB') and EmployeeID = '12345' GROUP BY EmployeeID
(this returns the employee ID from one table, and the highest rate from Jobs A and B from another table)
I can get it to update to add JobC -- how can I get it to assign the result from the above query to be the rate used for Job C?
How can I identify the computer of the person running an SRS report? If I query HOST_NAME() it gives me the host of the reporting server, not the person browsing.So, for example, Melissa opens a browser from computer named AAA to the SRS and pulls up her report. How do I get that report to show that the user is browsing from AAA?
For example if I make a column not null the SQL Script generated. Removes all indexes, keys, etc... than creates a temp tableThan moves the data into the temp tablethen deletes the old tablerenames the temp tableRecreate all the indexes, keys, etc... Is there a structure reason for it? Like now that the DB is being alerted that the column is not null it wants to re insert all the data so it can re-organize it? Because I can just write my own script to the effect of ALTER [TABLE] [COLUMN] PARAM TYPE NOT NULLone line of script that seemingly does the exact same thing.. So I'm just curious when I change a column to non null why doesn't it just generate a simple one liner?
I have this query that calculates the next possible shipping day, based on 3 conditions:
- It has to be a workingday (WORKTIMECONTROL: 1 workingday, 0 holiday) - marked green - There might be extra days (@xdays) required by the process - marked blue - Customer wants their goods to be shipped on special days - marked red:select TOP 1 Transdate from WORKCALENDARDATE where Transdate > @startday and WORKTIMECONTROL = 1 and DATEPART(WEEKDAY,TRANSDATE)-1 in (2,4) and
[code]...
So customer 123456 accepts shipping of goods only on tuesday and thursday as in the above example "... in (2,4)". Multiple shipping days means that the Subquery returns more than one record, which gives me a headache as I don't see how to integrate this portion into my query. I tried to use the stuff function as I formally need a result that can be provided that way; but the format is incorrect as it in varchar, while an array of integer is needed.
DATEPART(WEEKDAY,TRANSDATE)-1 in (select stuff((select ',' + CAST(DELIVERYDAY as nvarchar) from CollectiveShipment where custaccount = '123456' for xml path('')),1,1,''))
