I have an instance where a process is trying to insert a Customer into the Customers table and CustomerLastName is a non nullable field. Customer's last name is Null. Should this be the reason this Customer is never in the end table?
View 5 RepliesI have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.
Thanks!

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[instructions](
[site_no] [int] NOT NULL,
[instructions] [text] NULL
)
Select top 3 * from instructions
Output
Site_noInstructions
20Request PIN then proceed
21Request PIN if wrong request name
22Request PIN allowed to use only numbers
All text instructions start with “Request PIN” but after that the text are different for every site_no
I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text
Desired output
Site_noInstructions
20Request PIN and codeword then proceed
21Request PIN and codeword if wrong request name
22Request PIN and codeword allowed to use only numbers
I have an old model that unfortunately had to be re-establish.
In order to save time, I thought that I can export all my measures and paste it as measures in my new model.
I used the following technique to export the measures from the old file: [URL] ....
How to use the output and create the identical measures in my new model, without the need to manually write each one of them?
I would like to force a column to be null all the time. I cannot alter the table structure or alter the code that inserts data.
create table dbo.tblCustomer
(
CID int IDENTITY(1,1) not null,
Fnamevarchar(20) not null,
Lnamevarchar(20) not null,
Extravarchar(20) null
[Code] ....
So when this is executed the field Extra is always NULL
INSERT INTO tblCustomer (Fname, Lname, Extra)
VALUES ('bob', 'smith', 'ignore'), ('jane', 'doe', 'empty')
update dbo.tblCustomer set Extra = 'something'
If I've understood After triggers correctly the data will be written and the trigger will fire and overwrite. To avoid 2 writes
I could create an INSTEAD OF trigger
CREATE TRIGGER TR_I_Customer
ON tblCustomer
INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO tblCustomer
(Fname, Lname, Extra)
SELECT Fname, Lname, NULL
FROM Inserted
END
This will not write the "extra" field twice. However if a new Nullable column were added; it would be v.easy to forget to update the Instead Of trigger. Everything would still work OK but I would be effectively ignoring the new column as well.
What I would like in the instead of trigger is do something like this...
UPDATE INSERTED SET Extra=NULL
Continue with insert without supplying column /value list.
What would be the best way of achieving this, trigger is the only way I could think of?
I have to populate a table of exchange rates which is easy enough however because rates are held on Fridays but I need to make calculations on weekends or holidays I need to populate the Friday rate on non weekends and holidays. I have a sample table below with null values on the weekends for the last 90 days but need a script that will show the Friday exchange rate on Saturday and Sunday
Here was my latest attempt

select currxdate, [from], [TO], CurrXRate

I am working on some data that is JOINing to another table. Not a big thing. In the child table, there are different values for a single ID. I want to be able to select the Max ColorID that is Not Null, for each distinct CarID. The CarID is what I am joining the other table with. I need selecting the distinct row with the Max ColorID that is not Null. All this data is made up, so nothing looks logical in the design.
DECLARE @ColorList TABLE
(
CarID float
, ColorID int

INSERT INTO @ColorList

I added a new field to an existing ETL process which uses SSIS to ingest a CSV file. The new field in the file, Call_Transaction_ID, will not always be populated for every record and so can be NULL or empty for certain records.
Here's the problem:After the file is extracted into a staging table, the Call_Transaction_ID field is showing blank or empty when it has no ID for that particular record. The problem is when I try to then ETL this data into a fact table - I'm trying to set the Call_Transaction_ID field to -1 if it is NULL or empty, however SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty even though there is no value in the field so -1 will NEVER return.
Using a WHERE DATALENGTH(Call_Transaction_ID) = 0 returns 0 records, again because SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty or NULL.
What do I do now to get around this? How do I fix it?
I am creating web application for state and dist wise map. I've the tables like
create table ind_state
(
ind_stat_id int,
ind_state_name varchar(50)
)
insert into ind_state values ('1','Pondi')
[Code] .....
My output is depends on the dist selection so made procedure
alter procedure LAT_TEST_DYNAM0
@dist_id int
as
begin
create table #temp (pincode varchar(10) ,latitude numeric(18,10),longitude numeric(18,10) ,descp varchar(5000))
if @dist_id!=0
[Code] ....
Myself doubt is when @dist_id is null or "0" how to show default value ?
Otherwise above my code is correct?
declare @user varchar(30) = ''
if(@user is not null or @user <> '')
BEGIN
print 'I am not empty'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
print 'I am empty'
ENd
The output should be 'i am empty' but when i execute this i am getting ' i am not empty'. even i did browse through but i don't find the difference in my logic.
I have the following tables:
tbl_Person (personID, first_name, lastname)
tbl_student (studentID)
tbl_stupar (personID, StudentID, relationship)
tbl_person_Phone (personID, phone)
I need to list all students who have both parents phone number is null. The parent relationship values 1 and 2 indicates the person is either Mom (value 2) or dad (value 1) of the student. Note: I am using student parent as an example to write my query.
I believe query optimizer can leverage the predicate used to define the filtered index. But I came to a situation that's not true:
USE tempdb;
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('Employees') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE Employees;
GO
CREATE TABLE Employees
[Code] ....
If we take a look at the query plan. we'll find an unnecessary Nested Loop and Key Lookup operator there with the IS NULL predicate.
Ironically, If I change the IS NULL to IS NOT NULL in both the index and Query, everything goes fine.
I use the merge statement in a sproc to insert, update and delete records from a staging table to a production table.
In the long sql, here is a part of it,
When Matched and
((Student.SchoolID <> esis.SchoolID
OR
Student.GradeLevel <> esis.GradeLevel
OR
Student.LegalName <> esis.LegalName
OR
Student.WithdrawDate <> esis.WithdrawDate
Student.SPEDFlag <> esis.SPEDFlag
OR
Student.MailingAddress <> esis.MailingAddress)
Then update
Set Student.Schoolid=esis.schoolid,
.....
My question is how about if the column has null values in it.for example
if schoolID is null in production table is null, but in staging table is not null, will the <> return true.or if either side of <> has a null value, will it return true.
I don't want it to omit some records and causing the students records not get updated.If not return true, how to fix this?
I have a table with data in two columns, item and system. I am trying to accomplish is we want to compare if an item exists in 1, 2 or all systems. If it exists, show item under that system's column, and display NULL in the other columns.
I have aSQL Fiddle that will allow you to visualize the schema.
The closest I've come to solving this is a SQL pivot, however, this is dependent on me knowing the name of the items, which I won't in a real life scenario.
select [system 1], [system 2], [system 3]
from
(
SELECT distinct system, item FROM test
where item = 'item 1'
) x
pivot

I have this View and want to also see Clubs that do not have current memberships.I have the IS NULL but not seeing the Clubs that do NOT have memberships. attribute.PersonMembership is a SQL table that has membership information.
SELECT dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.ClubNo, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.SortName, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.ClubName,
dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.BSProgram, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.ClubSection, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.Code,
RTRIM(attribute.PersonMembership.InvoiceNumber) AS InvNo, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.President, dbo.v060ClubOfficersPresOrNot.Email,
[Code]...
The "PersonMembership" has all the membership records from 2015 through 2019 of membertypeid 1-4 for the sampling.Since the syntax used in Access do not carry over without modifications to SQL, SQL syntax to make it work in SQL.And if you know the proper SQL syntax for "Between Year(Date())+IIf(Month(Date())>=7,1,0) And Year(Date())+IIf(Month(Date())>=7,1,0)+4" instead of what I currently have in SQL, that would be wonderful.
Dealing with 3rd party app that is somehow deleting records. Was going to put a delete trigger on the table so we can at least be notified of the delete and save the record. Great idea until I found out the table has a text data type for one of the fields which are'nt allowed on the delete or update portion of the trigger. Unfortunately the text data contains what we really need to retain. Tried doing a convert varchar and that would not work.

Are the XML tags searched, as well as, the contents within the tags, when an xml column is included in a full-text index? Or is it only the contents within the tags? Would I need to combine full-text search with XPath/XQuery to get at the actual tags?

I have a Full-text search that is being performed on a variable (@Description) see part of querie below:
WHERE (CONTAINS([Description], @Description)
This search only seems to work when a text fo 3 or greater characters is used Ball, but not for "an" or "a". it also does not search on part of a word i.e. "Gard" of "Garden"
Two things:
1) How do I perform the CONTAINS search for part of a word or "a".
2) How do I perform a search that returns all values, when I leave the input feild blank it returns no records.
Many thanks in advance

I need to import data to a MSSql table from massive (read: a million and a half rows, every single day) logs that come in .txt format separated in tabs with a ";" symbol and then have some stored procedures analyze that data to generate some reports in an excel file with that info. The text files include the column headers in the first row and the data starts on the second one.
The challenge is that the text files differ in column order and count every single day.
The analysis that I need to do only needs about 15 columns from the nearly 90-120 that those files include, and those columns sadly happen to be in a different order in those files.
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
declare @t table (rowID int, textValue varchar(1024))
insert @t
(rowID, textValue)
values
[Code] ....
Output:
rowID, Task, Status, ReportName
----- --------- ------- ------------------------
1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit
2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III
2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
Unfortunately, CLR is not an option.
Have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (includes SSMS tool) on Windows server 2008 R2 sp1 without any issues.Database created with no issues, full text catalog created via the wizard also with no issues but cannot run the process as a scheduled task of updating the catalog because the SQL agent is not available in the express version.
The full text index information is already being populated and updated by a third party application so this leaves just the catalog to be updated as and when new full text information is available.
I have a third party SQL scheduler which will run SQL scheduled tasks but requires a script to run the full text catalog update process
Is it possible to extract a script from the existing full text catalog to run the update process or how to create a script from scratch to do the same update catalog process in the third party scheduler?
