I was hoping to get a little input on a problem I'm having.
In the DataAccessLayer of my application, I have a "search" function written that takes a bunch of parameters (in the form of a class object) and depending on what each of the paramaters are set to (to include search type parameters) it builds an appropriate select statement. The issue is that my company has recently decided to require all DataAccessLayer functions to use TableAdapters. TableAdapters can use StoredProceedures, and StoredProceedures can make external calls (it all seems a bit backward to me, but there does seem to be a bit of logic in that TableAdapters contain a connection string which is set in the app.Config file)... Anyway, here's an example of how I am doing it currently, and I was hoping someone could suggest a way I could do it with either TSQL, or otherwise. If CLR is the way to go, how does that work?
internal static dsStrongTypeDataSet GetAll(clsMyClass inData)
{
bool first = true;
dsStrongTypeDataSet data = new dsStrongTypeDataSet ();
string selectStatement = "Select * from tblMyTable where ";
//There is one of these if statements for each parameter
if ((inData.Paramater1 != null))
{
if (!first)//not as important in this section of code,
//but there are areas where there are up to 30 parameters
selectStatement += " and ";
if (inData.SrchParameter1 == SearchType.Fuzzy)
selectStatement += " Column1 LIKE ('%" + inData.Parameter1 + "%') ";
else if (inData.SrchParameter1 == SearchType.Literal)
selectStatement += "Column1 = '" + inData.Parameter1 + "'";
first = false;
}
//More if statements like above for EVERY parameter possible
SqlCommand selectCommand =
new SqlCommand(selectStatement, CorrectSqlConnection());
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(selectCommand);
dataAdapter.Fill(data, "tblMyTable");
return data;
}
I am not sure if I am posting this is the right place, please let me know if a better place exists.I am trying to figure out the distance from a point on the earth to a route between two other points. All points that I have are in latitude and longitude secondsIE: 51-52-40.6700N => 186760.6700NI am able to find the distance between two points on the globe using a custom function FindDist(latitude1, longitude1, latitude2, longitude2)I did the legwork for the math and was able to come up with this psudo code: p1 = start of routep2 = end of routep3 = point of referencep4 = INTERSECT(LINE(p1,p2), PERPENDICULAR_LINE(p1,p2,p3)) The direct distance between p4 and p3 is somewhere in the range of 0 - 70 and encompasses all points in the US (We only deal in the US) which is incorrect. If I do the conversion of p4 to latitude and longitude I get numbers that start out at 1000 which is also incorrect.I am doing the conversion with the following: DECLARE @lat2 VARCHAR(25)SET @lat2 = (@p4x * 3600)IF @p4x < 0BEGINSET @lat2 = @lat2 + 'S' ENDIF @p4x > 0BEGINSET @lat2 = @lat2 + 'N' ENDDECLARE @lng2 VARCHAR(25)SET @lng2 = @p4y * 3600IF @p4y < 0BEGINSET @lng2 = @lng2 + 'W' ENDIF @p4y > 0BEGINSET @lng2 = @lng2 + 'E' END I am not sure, however, how to either:a) find the latitude / longitude of p4b) find the distance in miles between p3 and p4Either of these will solve my problemI know this is a rather odd question, but if anyone can help me that would be great. If you need more information, let me know and I will try and explain things further.
i am getting to trip with SQL Server and i find it is quite interesting. please send me complex TSQL queries which would help me to test my SQL server expertise. do let me know what are the URLs where i can find complex TSQL Queries i appreciate pointers in right direction
I have been attempting to implement one of our numerous ETL processes in SSIS but hit a brick wall when I tried replacing a complex stored procedure with a series of Merge Join components.
In the end, I had to settle with using a SQL task which merely calls the stored procedure and this proved to be the better option as the other version where I used SSIS components only took forever to run.
How do people cope with complex transformations?! Do you guys opt for pure TSQL to perform complex transformations and use SSIS components for control flow+simple(ish) data flow tasks?
I'm sure there is a way of cracking this, but I can't think of a good solution. Right now I am not happy with the solutions I come up with, one of which takes 4 minutes to run on SQL Server The scenario: User is presented with search page where one or more search terms can be entered/selected. There are no required parameters. It can be any or all of the possibilities presented. Below is a model of the search parameters presented. The user will either select to show more options under Profile ABC, or go down to Profile STU or Profile XYZ to show more options, or even select all Profiles and then select from Type 1 and either a. or. b. or. c. or ALL of the above. I cannot predict what a user will make part of the search query so I have to have a stored procedure ready which can handle any or all of the parameters a user may select. Am I biting off more than I can chew (it seems so)? Or is there an elegant way of handling the unknown combination of search parameters that a user might throw into my sql query? I'm running this under ASP 1.0 and SQL Server 2000.
[check to show the options below] Profile ABC [check to shore more options] Type 1
A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes B. ditto C. ditto D. ditto [check to show more options] Type 2

HI. I have 3 tables 1- std with : stdID , programID. 2- Programs with :ProgramID , Cost 3 - Movements with : stdID , balance. the first table contain the stdID and ProgramID , some times the std hasn't programID that mean he hasn't programID. then we return null. if the std has programID there is to cases. the first one he have a movement on his balance then we get the biggest balance for the std. the second case he hasn't any moventen then we get his balance from Programs table by the ProgramID .
I need sql server function that return table like this stdID , Balance that means every std with his Balance. Regards.

Now, i have a project in ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005. let's call the project an image gallery, in my project i have a table named "Category" in which all the categories are in this table. also while adding a new category a new table will be created automatically with the name of that category. now, what i want is that to build a query that reads the contents of the tables that the tables name are the names of the each record in the "Category" table. is that possible ? please if any one help can me in my problem.
I have 2 tables, say table1, and table2. There is a DocID (primary key) in table1. In table2, DocID is the foriegn key. There can be more than 1 DocID.
how do I join these two tables, such that I get all the otherID's for each DocID. ie., DocID OtherID 1 2 and 10 and 13 and 25 2 3
i am writing this query to display search results on a search page (with keyword search) and so, if I display the result in more than one row, then the user might think that there is more than document...whereas the case is that there is only one document with more than one other ID's.
is there any way I can do this? display...more than 1otherID in the same row for the same DociD? Currently, I am using a left outer join of table1 and table2.

I might have to redesign the tables for this, but I'll ask anyway. I have a table with the following fields:
Email - VarChar Seminar - Int PeckingOrder - Int.
As I add addresses to the table, each one has a Seminar, and then each Seminar has a Pecking Order Value. If an email address shows up for more than one seminar, it can have multiple records. IE:
for address, seminar, and pecking order would be sample entries into the table. Give or Take 1000 records in the table at any given time. What I want to pull out is:
Distinct Email Addresses For each Email Address - The Max(PeckingOrder) And the Seminar that's associated with Max(PeckingOrder)
For the sample data set above, I'd want to see these two records returned by the query:
email1 - 1523 - 424 email2 - 1524 - 235
I can't seem to get the Having / Where clause right to pull those two records properly. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, --Daniel
Edited - Didn't realize the BB removed email addresses.
SELECT goto_last_name as 'Manager', advisor_name, advisor_ao_number as 'AO', COUNT (CASE advisor_termination_date WHEN '<Null>' THEN 1 END) as '#Advisors', SUM(Weekly_TOS_GDC) as 'TOS GDC' FROM weekly_condensed_tb WHERE advisor_platform_number = 1 AND report_date BETWEEN CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR,'9/11/2007',112) AS DATETIME) -28 AND CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR,'9/11/2007',112) AS DATETIME) GROUP BY goto_last_name,advisor_ao_number,advisor_name HAVING COUNT (CASE advisor_termination_date WHEN '<Null>' THEN 1 END) > 1
In the query above i select a range from the date - 28 days and do a sum on the TOS GDC column. What i am trying to do is have another query where the range will be - 56 and maybe - 86 so i get the SUMS for that as well. I need to display this in SQL Reporting Services and i can only have one DataSet returned otherwise i will not be able to bind it to one table.
How can i go about this so i return one set of data for 3 different date ranges.
I'm struggling with a syntax error in my sp. I'm hoping someone can give it a fresh look and straighten me out. Thanks. Background: 1. The innermost query (using the dynamic statements) will run fine on its own. 2. I can wrap that in another query (with the innermost as a DERIVEDTBL) and it will run fine UNLESS I apply the GROUP BY. Then I get syntax errors. 3. Also, the entire query runs fine as a view (with hard coded vals for column and value). 4. I don't know what kind of formatting this message will apply, so just know that I've checked my line truncations and they all include a trailing '+. Also, I know that Occured is misspelled. That is the correct object name. Not all our DB admins are lit majors.
I have a sql table with corpcode, EmpName, rate, reportdate and Amount fields. I need to write a query that can return corpcode, EmpName, rate and sum of Amount for January, Sum of Amount for Feburary, Sum of Amount for March, Sum of Amount for April, ..........., Sum of Amount for December, Total for All months, Average for all months.
I tried few option, it didn't work for me, Is it possible to do? Have some tried like this earlier?
Hi, I want to create a query with which I must compare the production demands with the production results. The production demands can be get by the join of two tables. The production results can be get from an aggregate of 4 tables. The connection of these two objects rely on two fields that exist in both two objects. In order to show all the production demands I must left join the two fields from the demands object to the two fields exist in the aggegate production object. In MsAccess the only way to do it is to create 2 queries one for the demands and one aggregate for the production and in a third query create two left joins from the demands query to the production query and get the right results. How can I do it with MSSQL Server with a query??
BLOG --POSTER_ID --POSTED_BY (a FK refer to USERID) --UPDATED_BY (a FK refer to USERID)
USER --USER_ID --NAME
I want to retrieve the info for all posts that posted and updated by different users, also the query returns both user names for every posted and updated action.
I can write two queries to do that
select B.POSTER_ID, U.NAME from Blog B inner join USER U ON B.POSTED_BY = U.USER_ID
select B.POSTER_ID, U.NAME from Blog B inner join USER U ON B.UPDATED_BY = U.USER_ID
Then write some code to combine the result for the posted and updated user name. But this is not efficient.
I am wondering how can I write one query to archeive that?

I have tried various combination of Joins, but unable to get the desired result as the tables have many-to-many relationships, therefore I get many duplicate rows in the result. UNION will not solve the problem, as that will add the additional rows for the third table. Although I can achieve this by writing few lines of code, but I have to create a SQL Query for getting this result. Kindly tell me the way for creating the required Query for this. Many Thanks for your help.
Now, i have a project in ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005. let's call the project an image gallery, in my project i have a table named "Category" in which all the categories are in this table. also while adding a new category a new table will be created automatically with the name of that category.
now, what i want is that to build a query that reads the contents of the tables that the tables name are the names of the each record in the "Category" table.
Table Name: Story Table Columns: user_id, date, name, yr_left, city_origin, country_origin, yr_arrival, city_arrival, state_arrival, address, city, state, zip, AorV (audio or video), filename, approved
I need to create two queries. One based on date in descending order, and one based on country_origin in alphabetical order. For both of these queries, the approved field has to = Y for yes, and when I return results I need it to return everything in the table EXCEPT for the name.
I'm a beginner at SQL queries so I was hoping someone could shed some light and help me??? Thanks a bunch!
ID, EntryDate and Comment are all easily returned from the [Journal] table. The problem I am having is with the Income and Expense fields. For the Income field, I want to SUM the Journal_Split.Amount fields where Journal_Splts.JEID = Journal.ID AND where Journal_Splits.Type = 1 (1 being the code for Income). The Expense field is just the same, except the Journal_Splits.Type will be equal to 2. When the query is done there should only be as many rows as there are in the [Journal] table, for the [Journal_Splits] table can contain up to 3 records for each [Journal] record. [Journal_Splits] just holds the individual amounts split out to different income/expense categories for a single transaction.
This to me has a lot of conditions that I can't even seem to build with access's query builder (yes I am using access for now.. will change over to sql at a later time).
Anyone have a good idea how to do this? Or have a better idea for structuring the database to make is easier to query? Right now I have it working, but instead of an Amount field, I have 1 Income and 1 Expense field, but since a transaction can only be either income or expense, one field will always be 0, which seems like a waste of space.
That may be a bit confusing so let me know if I can clarify. Much appreciated.

OK, first let me say that I am no DB person.But I have a user here who keeps getting this errorwhenever she does, whatever it is she does, withdatabases...A google search takes me to various forums whereI am forced to sign up before I can read any answers.Interesting note here is that the guy in the office nextto her can run this same query without any problems.So, can this be a hardware issue?If I threw more RAM at this problem would that do?Or is this strickly a coding issue?Why would one machine run this query ok, yet anothermachine generates this error?Any pointers that you guys could throw my way wouldbe greatly appreciated.Thanks*$
