Sql Table Data Stroring Based On Varchar Primary Key

Jan 17, 2008

Hi,

I have a Users table that I use for membership. I am using username varchar(30) as the primary key for this table since username will always be unique.




The question I have is regarding how SQL Server actually stores data:

I see that when I add users, they are always stored alphabetically sorted on username.

I was expecting that all users will appear on the users table in the order they were added.

Example: I have 3 users (john, jonah, wilson). Now I added 4 user with username='bob'

If I execute select * from users, it returns me (bob, john, jonah, wilson). Look bob has become the first row of the table.


My question: Is Sql server moving 3 older rows to make room for 'bob' and it is also rebuilding part of the index due this new username 'bob'?


If this is the case, then it will have big impact if I have 100K users and I add one user that becomes firstrow. In that case 99,999 rows will have to move.


Bottom line, insert, delete will be very expensive.

I know sql server keeps data physically sorted on PK. But I am concerned here since rows are losing the order in which they were inserted.

Thanks

Query Based Off Primary Key Of Parent Table - Adding Child Table

Jan 28, 2012

I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?

Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

Only Showing Previous Day Data Based On Varchar?

Dec 2, 2014

I'm trying to only show yesterday's data based on a date that is stored as a varchar. I converted it to smalldatetime but I'm getting an error that says "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." I don't know how I have to alter the conversion.

Here is my code:

CONVERT(varchar(20), CONVERT(date, CONVERT(varchar(8), date_added), 112),110) = dateadd(day,datediff(day,1,GETDATE()),0)

Partitioning Table Based On A Non Primary Key Column

Oct 25, 2007

We are facing few issues pertaining to creation of primary key on a non - partitioned column in sql server 2005. Herewith attaching the text file containing the detailed scenario.

Pls advice.


Pls find some of the scenario with the example given below:

We have done the following steps
1.Creating a Partition Function
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION pf_EncounterODS_StateID (CHAR(2))
AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES
(
'CA', -- CA
'MI', -- MI
'NM', -- NM
'OH', -- OH
'TX', -- TX
'UT', -- UT
'WA' -- WA
)
GO
2.Creating a Partition Schema
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME [ps_EncounterODS_StateID]
AS PARTITION pf_EncounterODS_StateID TO
(
[PRIMARY],
[ENC_DM_DATA_01], -- CA
[ENC_DM_DATA_03], -- MI
[ENC_DM_DATA_04], -- NM
[ENC_DM_DATA_05], -- OH
[ENC_DM_DATA_06], -- TX
[ENC_DM_DATA_07], -- UT
[ENC_DM_DATA_02] -- WA
)
GO

3.Creating a table using above partitioned schema

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Fact] (
[ValidationErrorSID] [bigint] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
[ProcessID] [int] NULL ,
[StateID] [char] (2) NOT NULL ,
[ClaimID] [char] (15) NULL ,

) ON [ps_EncounterODS_StateID](StateID)

4.Creating a primary key on validationErrorSID column in the fact table
ALTER TABLE [Fact] ADD CONSTRAINT NQValidationError PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ValidationErrorSID])
Step 4 throws an error as
---------------------------------
Column 'StateID' is partitioning column of the index 'NQValidationError'. Partition columns for a unique index must be a subset of the index key.
If we include StateID along with ValidationErrorSID for index,then it works fine.But we need to have only ([ValidationErrorSID]) for indexing.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Compare Data (join) Based On Two Varchar Columns

Mar 15, 2014

-- My first Data

create table #myfirst (id int, city varchar(20))
insert into #myfirst values (500,'Newyork')
insert into #myfirst values (100,'Ediosn')
insert into #myfirst values (200,'Atlanta')
insert into #myfirst values (300,'Greenwoods')
insert into #myfirst values (400,'Hitchcok')
insert into #myfirst values (700,'Walmart')
insert into #myfirst values (800,'Madida')

-- My Second Data

create table #mySecond (id int, city varchar(20),Sector varchar(2))
insert into #mySecond values (1500,'Newyork','MK')
insert into #mySecond values (5500,'Ediosn','HH')

select f.*,s.Sector from #myfirst f join #mySecond s on f.city = s.city
/*
idcitySector
500NewyorkMK
100EdiosnHH
*/

i have doubt on two things

1) How Can i compare the City names, by eliminating 'The ' at the beginning (if there is any in second tale city) between first and second

2) after comparing first and second if there is no match found in second them want to compare with third table values for those not found

--i tried below to solve first doubt, it is working but want to know any other wasys to do it

select f.*,s.Sector from #myfirst f join #mySecond s on replace (f.city, 'THE ','')= replace (s.city, 'THE ','')

--Expected results wull be

create table #ExpectResults (id int, city varchar(20),Sector varchar(2))
insert into #ExpectResults values (200,'Atlanta','JK')
insert into #ExpectResults values (100,'Ediosn','HH')
insert into #ExpectResults values (300,'Greenwoods','DF')
insert into #ExpectResults values (500,'Newyork','MK')

Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys

Aug 13, 2007

Hi,

I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.

For example:

id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]

isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.

Regards
Mike

Inserting Varchar Data To Table...

Jan 3, 2001

It appears that when I insert data into a varchar(8000) field, SQL Server truncates everything after the 256th byte. When I change the field to text, this problem is eliminated. Can someone give me an explanation of why? And can I actually to the insert with the field being a varchar(8000) instead of a text data type. This will do wonders for the size and indexing.

May 28, 2007

Hi,I'm planning the structure of a SqlServer 2005 database for a newapplication.The requirement is that primary keys must be "natural"; i.e. in the tableCustomers the primary key will be a max. 10 characters string (but thestring may be filled i.e. with only 5 charachters).Should I define these primary keys as char[5] or varchar[5]?I'm interested in your opinion in particular about performace issue, becausethere will be tables with millions of records...Thanks,Davide.

INSERT Data Into Table That Maybe Have That Primary Key Already

May 12, 2007

Hi, I'm not user to inserting data into databases, usually I just read the data.  So I think my problem might be pretty common.I have a table of longitudes, latitudes, city names, and country names.  I set the primary key to be the columns longitude and latitude.   I have a method that generates the user's location and the mentioned data.  So I want to only insert the new data into the database if it is new and unique.  currently if the same user goes to my site, it inserts the data fine the first time and then throws and error the second time because it is inserting duplicate primary key information.  Do I need to query the database to see if the data record already exists?  or is there a way to insert the record only if it is "new"?? Thanks for the help!!

Currently, I have a table that has a field of Categories. I recently created a Category table in which each category has it's own ID.

Problems Moving Data Over 8000k In DB2 Varchar Column Into SQL Server Varchar(max) Using SSIS

Nov 20, 2007



I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.

I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.

I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

How Do I Exclude Data From One Table Based On Data From Another?

Feb 28, 2008

I have a table called MasterSkillList which is a list of skills and attributes, eg: [Appraise, INT], [Bluff, CHA] etc
I have a table called Classes, which is a list of all classes available (and some details which are irrelevant), eg: [Fighter], [Assassin] etc.
I also have a table called ClassSkills which holds a list of classes and their applicable skills, eg: [Assassin, Bluff], [Assassin, Open Lock], [Fighter, Appraise], [Fighter, Bluff] etc.
 What I have is a gridview which shows all my classes from the class table. i want to be able to select a class on that gridview and create a checkbox list of all available skills that are NOT allready associated with that class. Eg: assassin has bluff and open lock, so those two skills shouldn't appear on my checkbox list. So i want to show all the skill from the master skills list, excluding all the skills the selected class allready has.
 Alternatively, It would be better if there was a way to display all the skills in existance on my checkboxlist and the ones that class allready has to be checked. Any suggestions?
Here's the query I have: 
SELECT     MasterSkillsList.SkillFROM         ClassSkills INNER JOIN                      MasterSkillsList ON ClassSkills.Skill = MasterSkillsList.SkillWHERE     (MasterSkillsList.Skill <> ClassSkill.Skill)
 Edit:
I just added the following sql query, but when i run it i get no results even though it should show everything except 2 skills. Have I written it wrong?
SELECT     SkillFROM         MasterSkillsListWHERE     (NOT EXISTS                          (SELECT     Skill                            FROM          ClassSkills                            WHERE      (ClassName = @ClassName)))

SQL 2012 :: Auto ID Primary Key Specified As Int And Table Data Is Deleted Periodically?

Jun 25, 2015

I have a table that has a primary key that is auto incremented by 1. This table's data is cleared out periodically and as data gets added the auto id primary key continues to increase in numeric value. Once the data is cleared from the table the auto id names could be used again(the eventId is not stored) Currently the eventID is at 26,581,399. I know the maximum int value is 2,147,483,647.

How should I handle this? or rebuild the table every time the data is cleared(problematically)?

Fix Legacy Data - Missing Primary Key + Duplication Record + Large Table

Nov 17, 2005

We have a large table which is very old and not much ppl take care about, recently there is a performance problem from the report need to query to this table. Eventally we find that this table have primary key missing and there is duplicate data which make "alter table add primary key" don't work

Besides the data size of this table require unacceptable time to execute something like "insert into new_table_with_pk from select distinct * from old table"

Do you have any recommendation of fixing this? As the application run on oracle , sybase and sql server, is that cross database approace will work?

SQL Server 2008 :: Does Change Data Capture Require A Table Have Primary Key

Jan 13, 2013

Or can it record before and after column changes based on the LSN only?

An extract from a file based legacy accounting system is performed every night. The system does not have a primary key because transactions are managed through program code. (the more things change...). The extract is copied to text in Unix and FTP'd to Windows, where the file is loaded into SQL Server by kill & fill. Because of the expense of modifying the source system, there is enormous inertia/resistance to injecting a primary key at the source, so kill & fill it stays.

In reading about Change Data Capture, it seemed to me that column level insert update and delete are stored in tables that remember the before and after content of each column tracked. In my reading I have seen many references to the LSN to decide when and what to record as changed, but I have not seen any refereference to the necessity of a primary key for Change Data Capture to work. This is in contrast to replication, where the requirement for the existence of a primary key is made plain.

Is it possible to use Change Data Capture against a table without a primary key? How to use it to change the extract from kill and fill to incremental.

Hi
I am having a problem in auditing the column data in tables.My requirement is i have write a trigger which is capable of auditing the columns which are going to be added in the future also with out using dynamic SQL.is there any way to do so.
I feel if i can get the column data based on ordinal position then it is possible.
Can any body suggest.
My set Up is like this
I have a base_table to be audited.
I have a Audit_spec table which contains name of the table and columns to be audited.
And Audit table which actually captures the table name,column name ,old value and new value.
I have to audit only those columns in the Audit_spec spec.
If schema changes(Like new column added) happens to base_table and I want that column to be audited.with out any changes to my trigger code i should handle the newly added column ..

Update Server Table Based On Flat File Data

Feb 13, 2014

I have a table dbo.Sales that contains all sales records. There is a column in that table called ItemNumber that I'd like to match with ItemNumber in a flat file and update the ItemCost based on the ItemCost column in the flat file.

So while there will be many sales records for each ItemNumber, I need to loop through and update the ItemCost in that sales record based on the corresponding ItemCost in the flat file. Does this make sense? I really need this for court and I can't figure out how to do it. I took a SQL course about 7 years ago but have forgotten everything.

Database Name: BTData
Database Table: dbo.Sales
Database Columns: ItemNumber (match on this), ItemCost (update this)

Data Warehousing :: Hiding Text Box Based On Table Property

Oct 16, 2015

I am putting together an invoice for my company. I have a text box describing each section of the invoice, followed by a table to list out the charges. I am using multiple tables based on what type of charge the client is receiving. 

I would like to hide each section if there are no items purchased of that type. I can do this with the table using the expression "=CountRows() < 1", but I do not know how to refer to that table (call it Tablix1 for the sake of discussion) for the text box. I've tried using a ReportItems function as my basis, without success.

SQL Server 2008 :: Perform Checksum Based On The Source Table Data?

Aug 10, 2015

I'm trying to load data from old SQL server 2000 to new SQL server 2014. I need to do a checksum to check if all the source data is loaded in the target database(SQL server 2014). I've created the insert statement for the same which works. I need to use checksum to make sure all the source rows are loaded in the target table. I haven't done checksum before.

Here is my insert statement:

INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Order_tab]
([rec_id]
,[date_loaded]
,[Name1]
,[Name2]
,[Address1]
,[Address2]

[code]....
