Store Data Horizontally Or Vertically?
Nov 11, 2005
My project is to automate testing of Stored Procedures
of type SELECT (at least for now).
I want to create a table where each stored procedure's
input parameter values are entered and in another table
the expected result value(s) are entered when executed
against a sample database containing manually entered
and verified data.
My current problem is that the stored procedures' input
parameters range from none to 50 parameters (ok now
that I think of it maybe this SP with 50 parameters is an
INSERT SP; regardless let's assume I have SPs that
require 10-20-30+ parameters).
My other problem is each stored procedures' returned
result could fall into any of these four categories:
- 1 row, 1 column
- 1 row, many columns
- many rows, 1 column
- many rows, many columns
So far I thought about 3 ways of storing the data:
1- 1 large table with 50 columns that can hold various
number of input parameter values. Similar type of table for
holding the output result for the four categories above.
2- 1 small table holding one value per row. All kinds of joins
with other tables to indicate which SP and which column the
value belongs to...
3- 1 individual table per stored procedure, this way the number
of columns in the table would match exactly the number of input
parameters.
Obviously the above 3 categories could apply both for the input
and output data.
Now I'm still in research mode and I haven't decided on any choice
yet. And I know each approach has serious consequences; let's just
say they are all with some limitations.
Has anyone dealt with this scenario before? This is the first time I
need a table to hold various types of returned data.
Just to give some numbers: possibly a few thousand SPs and very
likely each SP would have more than one test scenario.
What would you suggest?
Thank you

The max sequence number can vary, so far the max has been 12, but may be higher in the future.

Hi All,
I would like to print a report that is 64x64 matrix. I want the columns to be narrow and the headings for the columns to be vertical like is possible in excel. The text for the heading fields also comes from a stored procedure.
I have hunted and pecked around but I cannot seem to find an option that sets the orientation of the text for a text box to vertical.
Is there one?
If not, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can make these column headings vertical and nicely fomatted all the time? Again, looking for the same effect as in excel.
Thanks

In query editor I displayed a single row from a table. The row is so long that I need to scroll horizontally back and forth to check out it's fields. Using t-sql (or otherwise) can I display the row like this: (vertically)
Field Name 1: < data value 1>
Field Name 2: < data value 2>
Field Name 3: < data value 3>
Field Name 4: < data value 4>
etc.
TIA,

I want but to return all records from on table A and only matching records from table B which id but I would wan tit to keep return them vertically as the because it make it difficult to read when put in a spreadsheet. It want it to return the values horizontally so the rows are not increasing for each occurrence on table b.

I would like for each of the queries to have all of the selected fields shown horizontally in one table.
For example,
Commercial Created | Commercial Closed | Commercial UserId | Residential Created | Residential Closed | Residential UserId | Other Created | Other Closed | Other UserId.
Here is what I have now and it is displaying the fields as I would like them to. In the code below, each Views is acting as an individual table and then joined together to make another table when the query is executed.
WITH t1 AS (
SELECT vSalesReportProcessDetail.[RequestId]
,vSalesReportProcessDetail.Process
,vSalesReportProcessDetail.Entered
,vSalesReportProcessDetail.Closed
/*ROW_NUMBER() over (ORDER BY vSalesReportProcessDetail.[RequestId]) rn*/
FROM[Sales].[dbo].[vSalesReportProcessDetail]
WHERE Process = 'Commercial' ),
[code]....

I'm trying to append rows horizontally - I'm using the "xml path" approach
SELECT
E.[USER_NAME] As 'User Name',
(
SELECT ',' + C.[PERMISSION_NAME]
FOR XML PATH('')
) As [Associated Groups]
FROM TABLEA As A
JOIN TABLEB AS B ON A.PK_OBJ_ID = B.FK_APP_OBJECT_REF
JOIN TABLEC AS C ON C.PK_PERMISSION_ID = B.FK_PERMISSION_REF
JOIN TABLED AS D ON D.FK_PERMISSION_REF = C.PK_PERMISSION_ID
JOIN TABLEE AS E ON E.PK_PERSONNEL_ID = D.FK_PERSONNEL_REF
WHERE A.[OBJECT_NAME] = 'MyObjectName'
It's not working. I'm getting:
User nameAssociated Groups
A. SmithG1
A. SmithG2
A. SmithG3
etc...
What I'm looking for is:
User NameAssociated Groups
A. SmithG1, G2, G3

Hi,
I have a client with the following table structure:
ItemNumber, Name, Description
containing the following Data (example):
ItemNumber

6473764
SDRAM

2000 Mhz
6473759

128 MB
6473759

I am trying to use PIVOT to convert this into Columns:
Item Number
SDRAM

6473764
4GB
2300 Mhz
256 MB
1300 Mhz
6473759
2 GB
2000 Mhz
128 MB
1066 Mhz
The problem is that I do not know the names of the columns before I run the query. I retrieve them based on a a list of Item Numbers:
SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM TableName WHERE ItemNumber IN (...)
What I was trying to do is the following, but I am not exactly sure what is wrong:
WITH ProductLines (ItemNumber, ItemName, ItemValue)
AS
(
SELECT ItemNumber, Name, Value FROM ProductItems WHERE ItemNumber IN (...)
)
SELECT * FROM ProductLines -- Don't know the column names
PIVOT
(
... -- Not sure what should come here
FOR ItemNumber IN (...)
)
Thanks a lot,

I'm trying to figure this out
I have a store procedure that return the userId if a user exists in my table, return 0 otherwise
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create Procedure spUpdatePasswordByUserId
@userName varchar(20),
@password varchar(20)
AS
Begin
Declare @userId int
Select @userId = (Select userId from userInfo Where userName = @userName and password = @password)
if (@userId > 0)
return @userId
else
return 0
------------------------------------------------------------------
I create a function called UpdatePasswordByUserId in my dataset with the above stored procedure that returns a scalar value. When I preview the data from the table adapter in my dataset, it spits out the right value.
But when I call this UpdatepasswordByUserId from an asp.net page, it returns null/blank/0
passport.UserInfoTableAdapters oUserInfo = new UserInfoTableAdapters();
Response.Write("userId: " + oUserInfo.UpdatePasswordByUserId(txtUserName.text, txtPassword.text) );
Do you guys have any idea why?

How should I design the system if I want the best perfomance and scalability ?1.Should I build a seperate coloumn in my every table and merge all the information into one coloumn and full text index that column.2.Put a full text index in all column in the table and use OR clause and reverse rank it for AND clause,using CONTAINSTABLE function.3.Make a different table and put _ID,_TYPE and _VALUE fields and search in that table with less coloumns.4.Seperate the full text database and search in a seperate db so that I can scale better?did anybody have a similiar problem ?

Greetings All, I was wondering if any of you would share some of yourexperiences regarding the task of loading a data store from an Oltpsource. We are using Analysis Services in a BI product that requiresdata to be pulled from one of our products, an OLTP database. Thedesign is to first run an ETL process from the OLTP source into anoperational data store, from here Analysis Services will pull its datato do its thing. Now, for small OLTP databases (< 1Gb) the storedprocs I have written to do the extraction works well, it is relativelyfast and efficient. However, we have a few databases that are 10Gb'sand the load could end up taking several hours. During this long loadthe OLTP source may be in use and I want to avoid write blocks, or if Iwere to use "select ... NOLOCK" I could get dirty data brought over. Icould used BCP for some of the big tables or Bulk Copy but I wanted tosee if anyone has dealt with this issue and what their specificresolution was for their specific problem. It is my hope that byseeing how others have dealt with this I will be able to architect asolution for my specific problemRegards, TFD.

hi,
i learned that BLOB data types are out-row data by default, i think it means it will not store in the row of table, because the max-length of a col is 8KB.
but will the system store those BLOB data? and is there any way to specify where should it be stored, like tha Partition Schema.
i am using SQL Express, so i hope it works for express.(partition does not work for express)

Now I want to insert data and create the tables:
SqlDataSource ordersDataSource = new SqlDataSource();ordersDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SpecialsConnectionString1"].ToString();
ordersDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure;
So to insert data for the first field I need:
ordersDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("@CustomerName", CustomerName.Text) Is this right? Any help is appreciated.
