Table Partioning With Computed Column

Oct 25, 2006

This full version of this reporting table will have about 12 million row for each of three years. Prior years will be in separate partitions and frozen but the current year will be reloaded each night by source_key, probably in parallel.

I am trying to do this with a computed column but I can't slide the partition back into the main table due to an apparent problem with the Check constraint. I have tried everything I can think of and still can't get it to work.

I hope I am missing something simple. Anyone know why this does not work or how to fix it?

ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. Check constraints or partition function of source table 'db_template.dbo.foo_year_source_partition_test_stage' allows values that are not allowed by check constraints or partition function on target table 'db_template.dbo.foo_year_source_partition_test'.

Computed Column In A Replicated Table

Apr 10, 2015

I have a strange problem. I have a computed column in a replicated table, the Formula is as follows:

(isnull(hashbytes('SHA2_256',CONVERT([varchar](256),[AccrualReference],(0))),(0))) the column is also Persisted.

This gets around a case sensitivity issue and is used as the Primary Key column, which works well.The problem is that this table is then replicated to another server. On the subscriber the value of this computed field is being returned as 0x00000000 for every row, so this must be the ISNULL function doing its job. But why? The AccrualReference is the true PrimaryKey and is never NULL.

If I remove the computed specification and set the field up as varbinary(64) the value then gets replicated. This then means maintaining a different table schema for in excess of 500 tables.

UDF As Computed Column In Temporary Table In Proc

Jun 16, 2008

I've created a stored procedure that creates and uses a temporary table with a computed column. I want the computed column to call a user-defined function(UDF) that I've created. Here's an example:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Proc]
(
@Date datetime
)
AS
BEGIN


--Drop the temp table if it still exists so reports come out accurate
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[#temp]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE #temp;

--Create the temp table for use in this stored procedure
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[#temp]') AND type in (N'U'))
CREATE TABLE #temp (
[ID] INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1),
[Column1] NVARCHAR (30) DEFAULT ('XXXX-XXXXX'),
[Column2] INT DEFAULT (0),
[Column3] INT DEFAULT (0),
[Column4] INT DEFAULT (0),
[Column5] as ([Column2] + [Column3] + [Column4]),
[Column6] as (dbo.FunctionName('5381', [Column1]))
)

--Insert data
INSERT INTO #temp([Column1], [Column2], [Column3], [Column4])
SELECT 'String', 1, 2, 3

--Perform more calculations
<snipped...>

SELECT * FROM #temp

DROP TABLE #temp

END

This is an example of the function:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FunctionName]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@Type nvarchar(4),
@Quantity int
)
RETURNS Money
AS
BEGIN

RETURN (cast((SELECT ([Value] * cast(@Quantity as int)) FROM tblTable WHERE [ID] = @Type) as Money))
END

The error message I'm getting after I've created both the stored procedure and the UDF is when calling the stored procedure. Here it is:

Msg 4121, Level 16, State 1, Procedure usp_Proc, Line 13
Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.FunctionName", or the name is ambiguous.

There's no way the function name is ambiguous. Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do or am I just calling it the wrong way?

Computed Column Referencing A Computed Column

Sep 5, 2007

Hi all,

I have a table with 3 computed columns, the first two reference a function for there value. The last computed column should be total of the other computed columns, however when trying to write the formula for this column SQL Server rejects it.

Am i correct in thinking it is not possible to reference other computed columns in a computed column's forumla.

My current work around is to call the functions again that the other computed columns use to generate the total, though this seems to me like a performance issue.

Could anyone offer some advise on my situation.

Any input apreciated.

SQL 2005 Bulk Insert, Table Partioning, SilverLight And .net 3.5 XLinq/LINQ Integration

Mar 8, 2008

To the Forum,

Hello, i wanted to give the forum my current process flow to see if i am close or have some more work to do. The object is to import the data as fast as possible without loosing query responsiveness of the search on the web side. Any type of response will be greatly appreciated.

Current Process
I receive multiple product inventory lists form multiple vendors. These inventory lists are in many different formats like .xls format, .txt format, .csv format and .dbf format. My server converts the file format to raw .csv. The table is very large and will consist of millions of rows. Inventory comes in alphanumeric format.

Each of the inventory lists are NOT in the same format. What i mean by this is that there are different header names for the users inventory list than what matches our database table. For Example, a user may have an excel document with the header name "Amt" but our database table field name is "Amount". In order to make this import process automated I make a single mapping file for each user. This mapping file relates the users field header in their inventory file to that of the database table.

Currently I have a process converting all files to .csv format. Every 15 minutes a routine runs that converts the .csv to XML and then performs the import Bulk Insert routine. The process deletes the users entire inventory then imports to a "tempinventory" table, which then updates the inventory table. During this 15 minutes we may get 20 inventory lists to import which could be a half a million records. I have this inventory table indexed using the primary key which is the inventory number. This is the search criteria used (Inventory Number) on the web side. The import routine to SQL works quickly ONLY if Full-Text Index is turned OFF. I assume i need the Full Text Indexing on so the queries of the full inventory lists a fast response on the web side.

Assumed Issues
Right now if I were to turn off the Indexing for each import then we would have slow queries against the database on the web side.

To have one table with millions of rows that is constantly updated as well as queried at the same time is not efficient.

Assumed Corrections
Right now it seems that partitioning the table into 10 numeric partitions, one for each number would leverage the import routine as well as the web side search routine. I would then partition the alpha partition in 1 letter increments so we would have 26 partitions, one for each letter for a total of 36 partitions.

If I have the partitions seperated then it will be easier to update the seperate index as well as perform maintenance on the index, i assume this is correct.

Future Plans
I am upgrading the web side application to .NET 3.5 so we can take advantage of XLINQ and LINQ so our searches from the web side are faster and more efficient.

I am also looking into building a SilverLight application that will allow the user to install the application locally that will take their live database file and send updates to my server so they do not need to send in their inventory file at all and the inventory lists are live. This will alleviate the need to delete the users full listing in order to make a complete update. As stated above sometimes an update may just include updating the amount of only 2 of 40,000 rows.

I was also looking into db4o to see if it would be beneficial as well, http://www.db4o.com/, has anyone worked with this before in a similar manner?


Questions


I would like to make this process much more efficient from the import routine to the search routine. Is setting up the partitions as discussed a stable plan for both routines?
Is the BULK INSERT using XML to SQL the most efficient way of importing the data to SQL?

How would i handle the full text indexing to allow fast import routines without slowing down the web side searches?
After import of new data do i need to "update" the index as well?
What is a good set of "preventative maintenance" standards should i follow when dealing with this many table updates as well as the catalogs and table data?
I know there are benefits of using LINQ when querying the database from the web side but are there any other benefits that would fit into this current process?
As for the SilverLight application would it be beneficial for the user as well as me to have the application poll their database file to find changes and send only the updated values of the list to the server via XML, which is then updated by SQL?

I am unsure what is the best way to make this process as easy and automated as possible giving the user the fastest experience possible when searching from the web side.
Is this a smarter idea so i can track just the changes made by the user on their inventory list instead of importing the same redundant data they have?
Would implementing something like db4o be beneficial for this process, http://www.db4o.com/?
Please let me know if i am way off on this process or if there are some benefits that i am not using in this process. I have been doing a lot of research and this is what i have come up with so i wanted to ask the community what they thought about it as many heads are better than one. Please feel free to rip the process apart to, i take constructive criticism.

Thanks again.

DATEDIFF(dd, DateDue, GETDATE())
Thsi works but when the report is *not* late I'd like this to be null  is there I way I can do this conditional calculation in a calculated field?

Computed Column Of A View

Jun 11, 2003

I have a view that has 2 columns. The first column is associated with a function for the Units. The second column calculates the Market Value:

View
====
Col1: Unit = get_number_of_units()
Col2: MV = get_number_of_units() * get_unit_value()

I need to call get_number_of_units() twice in the view. Is it possible to changes Col2 to something like: MV = Col1 * get_unit_value()?

Is get_unit_value() being called if I do Select Col1 from View?

Thanks.

Computed Column Issue

May 19, 2008

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a computed field in a table. I have a stored procedure that inserts a row into a table and returns the id and the computed value.
The computed colmn is returned as a decimal (29,6) but for some reason the value is returned with no decimals (confirmed by the Profiler).
The value is calculated and displayed in the database properly with decimals. Also, Is Persisted is OFF.

Below is the stored procedure, computed column foruma (both give same result), and the profiler trace.

Using Computed Column Specification

Dec 13, 2012

I have a question about Computed Column Specification which you can specify as a formula for each column inside a table.

I have now columns named Age and Class.

Classes are "Kids" (ID #1) , "Junior" (ID #2) and "Senior" (ID #3)
Kids, which is for age of 6 till 12
Junior, which is for 12 till 16
Senior, 16 and above.

I have already searched for hours (I really did) on the internet for a solution, but ended with more questions because of the complicated solutions.

Now the Age is shown as a result of a formule of DOB (Date of Birth column), now I want the exact same thing, but the age must specify which Class the user is in.

Example, when I add a user with the birthdate 25/03/1988 (DD/MM/YYYY) he/she gets 24 as age.

With this formula : (datediff(year,[age],getdate()))

Now I want that the user gets "Senior" as Class (same table).

Senior is ID 3 in this case.

Now I do know how Case, When and Then works, but the validation fails. After reading some forums I understood that I should use a create function method. I am not really experienced with creating functions. Also the coding looks more different as I am used to. How to link the Computed Column to a created formula.

Using Computed Column In The Query

Apr 14, 2004

need help ,

i have a table called "Loans" where i need to compute a column i.e. NoofDays based on which other calculation like interest calculation needs to be done.
my query goes like this

"select datediff(dd,VDate, MDate) as NoOfDays ,NoOfDays * Principal * Rate /100 * 365 from Loans".

if i run the above query it says

"Invalid column name 'NoOfDays'".

this executes fine if i use Access but not in SQL Server.

can anybody say what might be the problem and how i can solve it.

Problem With Computed Column

May 19, 2008

hi
i want to create a table that has a computed column like this :
create table resources(
id int identity(0,1) primary key,
currentDate int not null,
currentMonth int default 0,
monthBefore as (currentMonth - (select top 1 currentMonth from resources where (currentDate - resources.currentDate) = 1)))

as u can see, monthBefore is computed column, and i want get currentMonth value of previous month, for this work, i define a column as currentDate that hold only year+month (like 971,082,083,...) and by this expression, i want to get currentMonth of previous record (previous month), but the following error has shown me :
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
how to solve this problem to get currentMonth of previous record ?

Null And Computed Column

Oct 1, 2007

how do you change the allow null on a column to be 0,
so instead of having null when empty, it would be 0,
I tried default value or binding to 0 to -1, and to 1
and in 0 or -1, it stays null, in 1 it puts the 1
for example if is quantity, it puts as if I would have 1 quantity,
so it's either null, or whathever number I put visides -1 or 0
how can I make it be 0 as defult?
I'm using it to add and substract with computed column, formula;
and the problem is that if it's the first time it's used it does not add or substract, becsause it does not add null with a number, if it has 0 than it works,
whata I had to do is add it manually, but of course it doesn't suppoesed to be that way
any suggestions will be appriciated:

Computed Column Calculations

Jul 23, 2005

If i want to split a computed column into two or more columns based onthe the length (its a varchar) of the computed column, how often willsql server determine what the computed column is? roughly along thelines ofselect comp_col,'comp_col 2'=case when datalength(comp_col)<=100 then comp_colelse left(comp_col,99) + '~' end,datalength(comp_col)from aTableAs you can see, in this scenario we use the computed coulumn,comp_col, in a few places, so does SQL server need to calculate thiseach time? I'm playing with this on the basis that it does and thustrying to shift the computed column out to a variable and thenmanipulte and return from their, but that has its own problems whenyou throw in additional parameters (trying to join table udf's) so ifSQL server is smart enough to not calculate the column each time Iwould save a lot of hassle?Cheers Dave

Computed Column And Cursor

Dec 26, 2007

Is it possible to use a cursor in computed column?

I have two table (Table1 and Table2). Table 2 is child of Table 1.

Table 2 has more than one record for each record in table 1. What I want is, to concat records from table 2 and show it as a column value for Table1.

e.g.


Code Block
Table 1:
Col1 Col2
1 ABC
1 DEF

Table 2
T1Col1 Col2
1 A
1 -
1 B
1 1
1 -
1 C
I want to see the Results as
Table 1
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 ABC A-B1-C


Is it possible to add computed column for the table1 to get the result as shown in above block.

Thanks

It's A Computed Column Processing Bug?

Hello everybody!

I have question about indexed and not indexed Persisted columns on sql server 2005. It's a bug?

First?, my version of SQL Server is

Now I create two tables and try four select queries:

1. I don't understand why access to computed column raise scalar computation wto times?
2. I don't understand why access to persisted computed column raise any scalar computation?
3. I don't understand why access to persisted computed column over index required any scalar computations?

Can anyone from Microsoft SQL Server Team told me about this mistake?
It's a BUG or I incorrect understand value of the "PERSISTED" word?

Computed Column Formula

Aug 1, 2006

Is it possible to retrieve the formula associated with a computed column using t-SQL? I can use COLUMNPROPERTY( id, column, 'IsComputed') to find the computed columns, but how do I get the formula itself?

Thanks,

Mable

Computed Column, IF, Multiple Criteria.

Jan 30, 2008

Hi.
 I have this method in a class, it produces a string value based on the value of another property in the object (which represents a field in the database). I would like to turn this into a computed column in SQL server... but need help converting the formula if this is even possible. Thanks in advance.public string GetVendorEvalRating(int vendorevaltotal)
{
string vendorevalrating = "";if (vendorevaltotal >= 26)
{vendorevalrating = "Critical";
}else if ((vendorevaltotal >= 10) && (vendorevaltotal <= 25))
{vendorevalrating = "Material";
}else if ((vendorevaltotal >= 0) && (vendorevaltotal <= 9))
{vendorevalrating = "Minor";
}return vendorevalrating;
}

How To Remove NULL From Computed Column ?

Aug 20, 2004

I've 2 columns after executing query,

one column from those 2 is calculated column.

I am getting resultset as follows



ACCOUNT ¦(calculated column)

------------------------------

100 ¦alpha

100 ¦NULL



My concern is how should I remove record with NULL from final resultset ?

If I give some name to that calculated column say 'Name'

and tried to put in main query as

"where 'Name' IS NOT NULL"; it doesnot work.

Can you have any workaround for it?
:confused:

Trigger? Constraint? Computed Column?

Feb 23, 2007

Hi.

I was wondering how I should go about doing this thing. I need to put a value in a column that is based on values on other columns in the same row.

When this statement executes I need to put a value in Col3.

insert into myTable(Col1, Col2)
values(25, -14)

Something like so:

if(Col1 >0 AND Col2 <0)
set Col3 = Col1 - Col2
else
set Col3 = Col1;

I don't now quite how to solve this. I am really going to need this value in a column. Calculating the value at retrieval is not on option...

I appreciate all help. I'm using SQL Server 2005.

Thanks!
