Suggestions For Rewriting This Query

Oct 24, 2007

Does anybody have any suggestions to rewrite the 2nd WHEN part of the query??? Thank you.

------------------------------------------------------------
update t_pgba_hdr
set HCFA_PLACE_TRMT_CD2 =
case when (select max(b.HCFA_PLACE_TRMT_CD)
from t_pgba_hdr as b
where t_pgba_hdr.clm_id2 = b.clm_id2) like '[A-Z]%'
then '99'
when (select ltrim(rtrim(max(b.HCFA_PLACE_TRMT_CD)))
from t_pgba_hdr as b
where t_pgba_hdr.clm_id2 = b.clm_id2) in '[0-9]'
then '0' + (select ltrim(rtrim(max(b.HCFA_PLACE_TRMT_CD)))
from t_pgba_hdr as b
where t_pgba_hdr.clm_id2 = b.clm_id2)
end

SQL Query Suggestions/help

Jul 20, 2005

I'm trying to count the number of records in 'game_dates' where thecolumns home_team_id or away_team_id have the same value. E.g., iwant to know the number of records for each team_id where team_id ishome_team_id or away_team_id.I'm doing this in two separate select statements now. Example:SELECT count(home_team_id),home_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY home_team_idandSELECT count(away_team_id),away_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY away_team_idand then combining the results. Is there anyway to combine these toqueries into one query? ...and have a single result set returned withtwo columns (count,team_id)?Thanks,Glenn

Monsterous SQL Query... Suggestions?

Jan 17, 2008

Hi All,

I work for a telco. We've got a table in a database which shows phone calls made by customers and when they made them.

I need to generate a list of customers who have made phonecalls last month and have NOT had a five days in a row without making any calls.

Can any of you help? I'm not sure how to tackle this one without getting a very bloated and inelligent solution. Basically, the only solution I can think of is generating 31 tables, one for each day and then just checking calls made on each day.

Has anyone got a better idea?

I'm using SQL Server 2000.

Thanks

Dave

Here you go:

The telephone numbers are just strings of the same integer,

1's: Calls made every day
2's: Calls made every day
3's: Two, non consecutive days without calls
4's: No calls made from 2nd till 6th
5's: Only one day with calls
6's: No calls made from 2nd to 6th, but many made on the 1st
7's: No calls made from 2nd till 13th

If you'd like a bigger sample set then I will create one.

Code:

CREATE TABLE tblCallSummary(
[CallID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[TelephoneNumber] [varchar](11) NOT NULL,
[StartTime] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,
[Duration] [int] NOT NULL,

(
[CallID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

Our requirements have just changed and we only need customers which were active in the last five days, a very easy query. So please don't spend too much of your time on this now, however, I am still keen to find an elegant way of solving this problem, if one exists so any input from you would be appreciated.

Thanks for you help

Multiple Parameter SQL Query??? Any Suggestions

Sep 19, 2007

My end result will be a query with about six parameters total. But for right now I am trying to one by one for testing purposes. This is my first SQl project. All of my information goes into an Access DB. I am basically creating a search page with parameters for the employees to use to search for data. I need the query to work if all parameters, or combinations of parameters, or just one parameter is chosen. I started with one and got to three but now I'm stuck. My first two parameters are dates, so the data can be chosen by date range, and the second is location id. If I choose date range by itself it works, If I choose location id by itself it works, but If I choose both it doesn't work. Instead of filtering it gives me everything and I have a statement for it. Can someone please help me and tell me what am I not doing right. Here is my code;

SELECT *
FROM ASFdata
WHERE
(ASFdata.reportlocid = <cfqueryparam value="#Form.reportlocid#"> AND <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield#"> <> datefield AND <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield2#"> <> datefield) OR
(ASFdata.datefield BETWEEN <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield#"> AND <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield2#"> AND NOT <cfqueryparam value="#Form.reportlocid#"> = reportlocid ) OR
(ASFdata.datefield BETWEEN <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield#"> AND <cfqueryparam value="#Form.datefield2#"> AND ASFdata.reportlocid = <cfqueryparam value="#Form.reportlocid#">)

Please Give Me Your Suggestions On Report Query - Very Urgent

Oct 25, 2006

I need to disaplay number of Active Agencies on monthwise in one of my report. I have tbl_Agency table with ActiveDate and ActiveFlag. ActiveDate column contains always first Activation Date. If any chances in the agencies(update/delete) the same record will move to tbl_AgencyHistory table.

"If an agency is inactivated in September 10th, inactivated all of October, and then reactivated November 10th - the agency would be counted in September, not in October and counted in November"

ActiveDate column has always first activation date, I could not meet this requirement. This is very urgent issue, Could you please help me on this.

Thanks,

Rewriting Left Joins

Sep 21, 2007

Hello,
I am working on a query that has 11 left join statements, some are hitting against reference data that has a small amount of records, whereas others not so small. From a performance standpoint, should I look at rewriting this query, and how would I do so? What is an alternative to left joins; any examples anyone has?
Thanks.

Database Lookup For URL Rewriting

Jan 8, 2008

Hi everyone
I've built an HttpModule and hooked into the Application_AuthorizeRequest to do some URL Rewriting. Basically what I'm doing is grabbing the URL such as www.mysite.com/about/, then doing a database lookup on the path (/about/) to see if I have a corresponding record for that string, and then rewriting the URL if a result is found (to something like www.mysite.com/About.aspx?id=1).
My problem is that I am getting the following intermittent SQL error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Whenever it happens I can hit refresh straight away and it will work fine. It also happens each time I upload a new web.config to my server.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Rewriting Insert Statements

Oct 3, 2006

Hi Friends,
I have the following set of Insert Statements that calculates sums for various criteria and inserts a row at a time onto my table.
I have a row for every month starting from January with sums for 4 severity levels. So for 12 months that would be 48 Insert Statements and if I want to do this for 4 different types of [EName] that would be 48 * 4 = 192 Insert Statements. Is there a better way to write this. Thanks for your help

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_Ticket ([EName], TrendMonth, [Severity Level], [Count])
SELECT 'OVERALL' AS [EName], DATENAME(MONTH, '1/1/06') AS TrendMonth, 1 , Sum([Count])
FROM dbo.tbl_Ticket
WHERE (TrendMonth LIKE 'January' and [Severity Level] = 1)

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_Ticket ([EName], TrendMonth, [Severity Level], [Count])
SELECT 'OVERALL' AS [EName], DATENAME(MONTH, '1/1/06') AS TrendMonth, 2 , Sum([Count])
FROM dbo.tbl_Ticket
WHERE (TrendMonth LIKE 'January' and [Severity Level] = 2)

Stop SSRS Rewriting SQL In Where Clause

Mar 31, 2008

Is there a way to stop SSRS from rewriting my SQL? I can write an SQL statement that will execute within seconds within SQL Server Management Studio. But when I put that SQL into a dataset in SSRS, SSRS rewrites the SQL and makes the WHERE clause much more complex. Now the SQL takes minutes to complete.

Is there a way to stop this?

Suggestions Please

Mar 26, 2003

I am requesting suggestions to solve my problem.

Background: We are changing the way we pay commissions to our rep groups. We used to pay when the order was placed, now we want to pay when the invoice is paid.

Problem: The commision information is currently stored in the customer order, not in the invoice. These orders get deleted a couple weeks after the order was completed (shipped).

I want to create another, rather dynamic, table/structure that will store the order number and the commission percentage.

This info in this table should:

Be deleted: if the order has been deleted and the invoice either does not exist or was payed some period of time ago (maybe 6 months)

Be updated: if the customer order has been updated (i.e. the commission was changed)

Be inserted: if the order exists but the order number is not in the new table.

That is it in a nutshell.

Thanks,
Brian

Need Some Suggestions.

May 4, 2008

Hello all!

I have this simple sp.

SELECT VisName
FROM tblVis
WHERE (VisID = 1)

Now I have lets say VISID 1 to 50. I'm using this SP to change the text on a button. Now I have 50 buttons. So I run this SP, then I run this in my vb.net code

Code Snippet
Dim constr As New SqlConnection(PVDBConn)
Try
'Variable to hold the results
Dim results As String = String.Empty
cmdUpd = New SqlCommand("SelVis1Name", constr)
cmdUpd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
constr.Open()
'Set results to the value returned from ExecuteScalar()
results = CType(cmdUpd.ExecuteScalar(), String)
constr.Close()
'Set our buttons text to that value
Button1.Text = results
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try

At any time, when I start my program, I may need to label 10 buttons, or up to 50. Now I will have this number in a text file. Can I grab that number from a text file, and pass it into a SP?

And can I write this SP only once, to work for more than one label per time. Or do I have to write this sp 50 times?

TIA!

Looking For Suggestions

Feb 9, 2008

I have a database that will be used by two or more organizations. I would like to use pass phrase encryption to encrypt a couple of columns.

I'm looking for suggestions on how I might set up the db to let the organization change the pass phrase that is used for their encryption?

I don't really want to hard code it into stored procedures or select statements with parameters. I will be using SSL if that should make a difference with what you suggest.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you

I have two stored procedures (l'll call them P1 & P2). P1, after a lot of processing, creates a temporary table that is used by P2 after an "exec P1" is done. I've separated the logic into two stored procedures because, ultimately, other sprocs will need the output of P1.

I get an error if I use #tempTable as the output table in P1 because it no longer exists after P1 finishes. ##tempTable works, but I'm concerned about concurrency issues. Any suggestions on what construct(s) I should be using?

Thanks in advance!

Book Suggestions On T-SQL

Oct 4, 2005

Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server but have been doing database programming since last 3 years. I recently attended MOC (Microsfot Official Curriculum) training on SQL Server and have started to use at my company. I am comfortable with SQL but want to dig deeper into T-SQL side. I searched on the Internet but not many good books available in that either they are ranked very low or are very old i.e. written around 1999/2000 or covers SQL Server 2000 as a whole. Can anybody suggest me any T-SQL book which was written recently and focuses purely or majorly on T-SQL?

Thanks to all for your time and advice in advance.

Indexing Suggestions

Jun 29, 2006

I'm looking for some help on how i should index this table.

current table has about 500k records in it.
the fields in the table are:
member_num (varchar(12), not null)
first_name (varchar(20), null)
last_name (varchar(20), null)
ssn (varchar(50), null)
address1 (nvarchar(200), null)
address2 (nvarchar(200), null)
city (nvarchar(200), null)
state (nvarchar(200), null)
zip (nvarchar(100), null)
phone1 (nvarchar(50), null)

all of the fields are searchable through an asp.net webform.

my first stab at this consisted of creating a clustered index on member_num and then creating a separate index for each of the remaining fields.

Suggestions Needed

Sep 7, 2007

What I have.
I have a spreadsheet that is used in 4 or more locations on a daily basis by 1-3 ppl per locations. The spreadsheet is used to gather Quality Control information. So everyday there are a couple of spreadsheets from each system that is used to generate weekly and monthly reports. This is becoming to much work and I would like to automate the process.

What I have access to.
I currently run a Sharepoint 2007 Server for all our collaboration and document needs.
I also have the ability to setup any sql server.

What I want.
I want the QC techs in each system to be able to upload the data at the end of each day and be done with it. This way they do not have email or do a weekly report.
I would prefer to use Sharepoint and create reports weekly and monthly that can be pulled just by going to a site.

I'm knowledgeable in Sharepoint and Excel. I have some skills in VBA. I haven't dealt with SQL any, but willing to learn.
Also I'm knowledgeable in Microsoft Access as well.

Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be appreciated.

TIA

Learning To Be A DBA--suggestions?

Apr 26, 2004

Hi Guys,

Well, as a VB/VBA applications developer I'm not well prepared for this, but it looks like I will be riding herd on a production SQL Server.

TSQL I know well enough to get along, but where can I get a fast fix on all the logins, security, and process management info? Today we had a DTS package crash overnight and it took me forever to figure out that it had left half a dozen tables locked. (Note that the scripts for the DTS package are being re-written as we speak with use of transactions and NOLOCK.) Meanwhile tech support was handling a whole mess of grumpy users.

Are there any books you would recommend as resources/references? Is there a particular author who is good at writing the stuff you really need to know in English that can be read by a mere mortal like I? I am fond of the Microsoft resources/help files but I'd like to have somthing that holds highlighter and post-it flags a bit better. Not to mention something that focuses more on the beast as a whole rather than the minutia at length.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a set of tables with about the same structure

dataID, recordID, 15 other columns

dataID is unique but is never referenced in queries

recordID is one of the most referenced columns but only has a cardinality of about 30%

The current structure has a clustered PK on (dataID,recordID)

Someone suggested reversing the clustered PK to (recordID,dataID) because of the number of references to recordID but that didn't seem to boost performance any

After staring at this for a while I came up with something but I'd like some advice whether it makes sense or not.

create a non-clustered PK on dataID
create a non-unique clustered index on recordID

Let me know if any other information is needed. Thanks

DR Suggestions Required

Aug 16, 2007

Hi All,

Need some suggestions for senior management for DR Purposes:

Background:

WSS/MOSS2007 is being used as a Document Management solution.

17 Servers geographically dispersed around the UK. Each server runs WSS 3, SQL Server 2005 and IIS. Each server is linked into a PiP cloud via 2MB MPLS.

At each location; We are looking at 20 core databases; each pre-sized to 10GB. If I take one site as an example, the previous nights backup totalled 135GB.

The company has taken a centralised view on backup's, so SQL Server Data and Log files are replicated using Double-Take to a central location where by the files are taken onto tape daily (Full backup of all files).

As a precaution, I take a Full SQL Server backup daily and also Tran Logs every 4 hours locally and keep it there for 2 days; however if the site goes boom I loose those, so for this purpose; please forget they exist.

As I expect; when I restore the mdf and ldf files from tape, I will get errors when I attach those files into SQL Server for transactional inconsistencies which I'm well aware of.

Other options I've considered are:

1) DB Mirroring. Not a bad option, but still have to get the DB to the Mirror Server in the first place. Also DB Mirroring is not recommended for more than 10 mirrored databases.

2) Log Shipping. Same issue as above; Have to get the data here in the first place. Then once Log Shipping is setup; if I have a failure; I need to start the whole lot off again.

3) Transactional Replication. Issue is with the initial replication getting the data from A to B, then if I need to use it in a DR situation; I will get issues saying this table is being used for replication. This can be worked around, but it's a not a quick process...

4) 3rd Party Backup Compression. E.G. Litespeed; Redgate SQL Backup, etc. Good; Tests have shown a 42% compression for us, however if I refer to the earlier example of 135GB, this compresses to 81GB. Throw in the theoretical max for a 2MB link of 19GB / 24 Hours, this would take 4 Days to copy.

Other thoughts I've come up with are:

A) Split the tables into different file groups; not sure how easy this would be as the DB's and Tables already exist.

B) Full/Diff/Tran. Still have the issue of scheduling the full backup over the weekend and taking 4 days to get here.

C) Local Tape Backups. Issue is relying on someone to change the tape on a daily basis. It's not centrally managed and how do we restore in a DR situation ?

Could someone give me some pointers please?

Thanks

I Need Suggestions From Some Expert

Jan 28, 2008

Hi folks, I have a very typical database for an ASP.net application. There is a table which will contain a hierarchical data..much like files-folders structure of a file system.
But we know that the table will be a giant one in production. There will be a huge collection of data need to persist in it. we are already facing some performance problem with some queries during the QA/test machine.
Currently there is a table which is keeping all file and folder information and another table maintaing their hierarchy relation using two column namely, parentID and childID.
My first question is, would it be better to keep this hierarchy relation into the same table rather using a different one? (much like managerID and empID in AdventureWorks sample?)
My Second question, what is the best way to design this kind of structure to get the highest performance benifit?

All kind of thoughts will be appreciated much! thanks

Schema Suggestions

Nov 20, 2007

I am working with an application currently that stores the majority of its data in the following schema.

factid1 int,
factid2 int,
factid3 int,
factid4 int,
Value decimal 14,4

To extract data from this table we are using a 4 table join to each of the factid's

Our where clause in this query is based on (where factid1 = something)

So we have a composite clustered index led by factid1.

Our plan is to reduce the size of this table by introducing the kind of schema, we would like to introduce this to keep the table size to a minimum and hopefully increase the performance of our extracts from this table.

factid4 int
intersectid int
value decimal 14,4

And then the intersect table with fact2,fact2,fact3 combinations

factid1 int
factid2 int
factid3 int
intersectid

This kind of schema reduces the size of this table substantially but performance of our extract is very poor.

Does anyone have any suggestions on schemas that will give us high performance?

Or does anyone think that the original schema will outperform any alternative schema.

Security Suggestions?

Mar 26, 2007

Greetings all,
I'm a developer tasked with securing up a SQL Server 2005 SP2 database. I'm not exactly a DBA but I'm giving it my best shot. I was hoping someone could offer some suggestions/tips on how I could approach this task. The amount of documentation on this type of thing is somewhat overwhelming. I'm a little pressed for time and was hoping someone could offer some help. Maybe even provide some feedback as if I'm in the "weeds" or not.

Ok, here's the deal...
At the moment I am using Windows authentication. From what I have read this is the preferred method over SQL authentication. I'd like to continue using this approach if possible.

The database can be has 3 principals
1. ASP.NET (Network Service on Windows Server 2003)
2. Windows Service running on the host server
3. A Data Access Layer assembly running on some other server

All the principals access the db using stored procedures only. Each uses a subset of all the stored procedures, some of them overlap.

My initial though was this:
For the ASP.NET I would perform the following:
1. sp_grantlogin [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]
2. sp_grantdbaccess [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]
3. Grant Execute on [For each sproc used] to [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]

For The Windows Service and the Data Access Layer principal, I was thinking something like this:
1. Create a separate windows login for each principal
2. Create a db login for each principal login From Windows
3. Grant execute on each of the sprocs used for each role

Question: How do I Deny Select, Insert, Update and Delete privs for all tables regardless of the principal (public user)?

Again, any help and or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thank!

Formatting Suggestions - Please Help

Jun 27, 2007

Hello,

I have a matrix with a dynamic number of columns (1-10). The trouble is that hiding one ore more columns still leaves space reserved for all 10 columns, which is ugly. This is because the size of the TextBox that oversees the columns is not dynamic, and it is set to the size of all 10 text boxes.

In other words, a matrix with 5 columns looks like this:

Item Total

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Total

5 5 5 5 5 25

While a matrix with 2 columns (the last 3 have visibility set to false) looks like this:

Item Total

Col1 Col2 Total

5 5 25

I am going crazy trying to solve this one. Does anyone have any ideas at all that can help me? Merging all the columns into a single column would not work well for me, as each column is a drill-down for the others. And making each column small (.1in), doesn't work either because there is no "no-wrap" property.

ANY suggestions would be appreciated. How have others dealt with this issue?

Michael

SQL Problem - Any Suggestions. Thx In Advance.

Jul 20, 2006

Hi
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I have two tables
First Table is called "Team" see columns and data below
TeamId, TeamName, MemberId
1, White Team, 1
2, Grey Team, Null

Second Table is called "Members" see columns and data below
MemberId, Name
1, Jim Smith

I want to display both tables in a gridview as follows
TeamId, TeamName, MemberId, Name
1, White Team, 1, Jim Smith
2, White Team , Null, Null

I'm using the following sql procedure to do this

Select
Team.TeamId,
Team.TeamName,
Team.MemberId,
Meember.Name
From Team
Inner Join Members on Members.MemberId = Team.MemberId

My Problem is that this select statement returns the first row but not the second row. The reason for this is the second row's memberId is Null. However, I still need to display this row even if the data is some of the data is null.
Can anyone point out the correct sql statement for this?
