Feb 20, 2008Does anyone know any good MS SQL or TSQL tutorials? I know the basics of SQL, such as joins, functions such as COUNT, SUM etc so I do not need one of them. Problem is I am using MS SQL at a new role in work and finding it difficult. I write the statements how I would in oracle of mysql but find that they refuse to work, and I can not find/use the MS SQL Help to find what I want.

Possibly Simple Query But I'm Not Good Enough To Fathom It!
Mar 8, 2006Hi AllI know that I should supply the DDL for the tables I'm going to talk about,but I'm not 100% on how to generate them just yet. Hopefully my question ismore a query methodology question than how the tables are constructed.My first attempt at the query is as follows:SELECT st.STOCKID, sd.FULLDESCRIPTION, sc.NAME, Sum(sq.QUANTITYINSTOCK) AS'Qty In Stock Total', Sum(st.QUANTITY) AS 'Qty Sold'FROM STOCK s, STOCKCATEGORIES sc, STOCKDESCRIPTIONS sd, STOCKQUANTITIES sq,STOCKTRANSACTIONS stWHERE sc.STOCKCATEGORYID = s.STOCKCATEGORYID AND st.STOCKID = s.STOCKID ANDsd.STOCKID = s.STOCKIDAND sq.STOCKID = s.STOCKID AND (sd.LANGUAGEID='UK') AND(st.TRANSACTIONTYPE=8) AND(sq.QUANTITYINSTOCK > 0)GROUP BY st.STOCKID, sd.FULLDESCRIPTION, sc.NAMEThis works in a fashion, but I need to sort of query the stocktransactionstable again to get the sum of the st.QUANTITY table for st.TRANSACTIONTYPE=1so that I can have an extra select field of Sum(st.QUANTITY) AS 'QtyOrdered', ie transactions with transactiontype of 1 are sales orders andtype 8 are invoices.I basically need to get a report result of:PRODUCT, DESCRIPTION, CATEGORY, CURRENT_STOCK_QTY, SALES_IN_PERIOD,ORDERS_IN_PERIODIs there any pointers whatsoever you can give me to try and get thisdouble-double query to work?Many thanks.Rgds Laphan

Mar 3, 2003Please suggest correct answer (A,B,C,D) for the following Question
You are developing an application for a worldwide furniture wholesaler. You need to create an inventory table on each of the databases located in New York, Chicago, Paris, London, San Francisco, and Tokyo. In order to accommodate a distributed environment, you must ensure that each row entered into the inventory table is unique across all location. How can you create the inventory table?
A.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,4), at second location use IDENTITY(2,4), and so on.
B.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,1), at second location use IDENTITY(100000,1), and so on.
C.CREATE TABLE inventory ( Id Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(), ItemName Varchar(100) NOT NULL, ItemDescription Varchar(255) NULL, Quantity Int NOT NULL, EntryDate Datetime NOT NULL).
D.Use TIMESTAMP data type.
Please Suggest Answer
Apr 9, 2003Give the suitable answer for the below question and explain the answer.
1.You have designed the database for a Web site (or online ticketing agency) that is used to purchase concert tickets. During a ticket purchase, a buyer view a list of available tickets, decides whether to buy the tickets, and then attempts to purchase the tickets. This list of available tickets is retrieved in a cursor.
For popular concerts, thousands of buyers might attempt to purchase tickets at the same time. Because of the potentially high number of buyers at any one time, you must allow the highest possible level of concurrent access to the data. How should you design the cursor?
(A). Create a cursor within an explicit transaction, and set the transaction isolation level to REPEATABLE READ.
(B). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency and positioned updates. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an explicit transaction.
(C). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency. In the cursor, use UPDATE statements that specify the key value of the row to be updated in the WHERE clause, and place the UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.
(D). Create a cursor that uses positioned updates. Include the SCROLL_LOCKS argument in the cursor definition to enforce pessimistic concurrency. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.

Dec 3, 2007Hi,
I have a table with two columns like this.
teacher table
teacher_id
1
2
3
4
5
6
student table
student_id --teacher_id
1 ----------- 10
1 ----------- 11
2 ----------- 12
2 ----------- 13
2 ----------- 14
3 ----------- 15
4 ----------- 16
Now i need the least assigned teacher_id's in the teachers table. i.e i need teacher_id's 5,6.
One possible way of writing the query is given below.
DECLARE @teachers TABLE
(
teacher_idint
)
INSERT INTO @teachers
SELECT1 UNION ALL
SELECT2 UNION ALL
SELECT3 UNION ALL
SELECT4 UNION ALL
SELECT5 UNION ALL
SELECT6
DECLARE @students TABLE
(
teacher_idint,
student_idint
)
INSERT INTO @students
SELECT1 , 10 UNION ALL
SELECT1 , 11 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 12 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 13 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 14 UNION ALL
SELECT3 , 15 UNION ALL
SELECT4 , 16
-- query starts here
SELECT t.teacher_id
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
HAVING COUNT(s.teacher_id) =
(
SELECT TOP 1 COUNT(s.teacher_id)
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
ORDER BY COUNT(s.teacher_id)
)
-- query ends here
But the problem with this query is, i am using two outer joins on the same query and on the same tables....
If teacher table and student tables have few thousands of records, this query will not perform good....
Please suggest another way of writing the query which can perform well....
Thanks in advance

2. What code page do I need so this will load?

Oct 6, 2005Hello,First of all - sorry for may be stupid question, but as I am not aWin* administrator and my field is *nix, I am a little bit stuck witha problem, presented to me by one of the customers. He has few windowsboxes with some webfile and (most important) - mssql database. And heasks for a backup. I found some company, which offers us IBM's Tivolisoftware, but my opinion is that they want a little bit too much forit and also, from my *nix experiece, I know there should be manyother products, probably cheaper and better. If not - we will usethat Tivoli. So we need to backup mssql data and some filessomewhere. The best would be on some ftp.Can anyone please suggest a good and simple way of making such kind ofbackup?Many thanks,Anton.

Words Suggest Or Spellcheck In MS SQL 2005 Express
Jan 26, 2007I am trying to recreate the same functionality Google has in regards tosuggesting words (not names), when you misspell something it comes upwith suggestions.We have a list of words in the database to match against.I've looked at SOUNDEX but it is not close enough, DIFFERENCE is evenworse.The only way I can get SOUNDEX to be more accurate is withSELECT [word]FROM [tbl_word]WHERE ( SOUNDEX( word ) = SOUNDEX( 'test' ) AND LEN( word) = LEN('test' ) )I've been looking at Regular Expression matching which I reckon wouldprovide more accurate matches. Not sure how that will affectperformance, as we could be talking about 20,000 records.Or also been looking at the Double Metaphone algorithm.Is there something else that I am missing, anyone know what to use in asituation like this?Thanks in advance.

Replication Tutorial?
Mar 1, 2008I'm a coldfusion programmer that works with SQL Server databases. We have the opportunity to move our database from a shared sql server to a semi-private virtual machine with our own copy of sql server 2005. We'll all of a sudden be able to use more features of sql server including replication. We want to be able to keep several databases on the same server in sync so that we can have a production database and a development database that are identical.
I'm not a professional dba but I am willing to learn. Is there a good, straightforward tutorial about setting up and using replication out there that someone can recommend?
Many thanks!
